Wild North America 1846

The ancient wisdom of China; the one who defeats the enemy without fighting is the one who is good.

In order to deal with the crisis in the United States, the Tang Empire deployed heavy troops on the border.This echoes the mobile force of the General Command in the United States, and has a huge influence on the US federal government and the divided states to influence the situation.

His Majesty the Emperor is very good at using the advantages of the empire to achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting, and gain a good reputation by the way.

Containing but not releasing is the key to this strategy.

The French obviously don't understand the wisdom of the East. Their futile attacks everywhere have attracted hatred and resistance from various states. It is expected that the traditional friendship between France and the United States has long since disappeared.

All one sees is the ugly face of the Frenchman toiling away for the benefit of the usurers.

After the high-level military meeting, Emperor Li Cha left Marshal Mai Xiaozu, chief of staff of the Royal Army, and Earl Yao Guangyi, the deputy prime minister, alone, and prepared to give them their due.

The specific military and political affairs still need to be carried out by these two important imperial ministers, so as to push the situation in North America forward in a direction that is in line with the interests of the Great Tang Empire.

The Lakeside Palace in Chicago is a complex of baroque palace buildings. His Majesty's study room has a dome space as high as 12.8 meters. The dome is decorated with exquisite murals, all of which are from masters.

The content of the mural is a fragment of the Battle of Chicago. The imperial battle flag is flying high on the ruins of the city, and the sunset is as colorful as blood. It is an epic scene.

Outside the large study room, there is also a large hand-painted exquisite world map, which was written by the famous French painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir. This is a classicist painter of the Rubens school, and his colors are very strong.

Next to the large world map, there is also a map of North America that has just been unfolded. The scale is much smaller, and it is also written by Renoir, which is of great benefit to help understand the current situation in North America.

"Taking advantage of the current chaos in North America, the empire should take advantage of the situation to promote the regional situation and develop in a direction that is beneficial to the Tang Empire. The ultimate goal is here, this... and this..." Emperor Richard pointed at Ohio State , in the direction of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, then closed his fingers and squeezed it vigorously, and said in a tone that is sure to win;

"The best opportunity is right in front of you, and if you don't take it, you will be blamed instead.

Datang Empire's appetite is very good, and this is probably the last window of opportunity for expansion in North America.

This time, I want to eat my fill at once, take down the important port area on the east coast, and completely penetrate the east and west coastlines.

Look at New Jersey..."

Emperor Richard said in a more emphatic tone, pointing his hand in the direction of New Jersey, which is next to New York, the third largest city in North America, and New York is also the largest international metropolis on the East Coast.

New Jersey is adjacent to New York, and the New York Port Authority includes more than a dozen ports in New Jersey, which belong to the royal family of the Tang Empire.The Imperial North American Headquarters has always maintained a total strength of more than 4 troops in New York, accounting for 2/3 of the entire North American garrison.

That alone shows the importance of New York.

However, New York is also the most populous state in the entire United States of America. The population of the entire state (note; including New York) exceeds 690 million, which is close to a quarter of the total population of the United States.

The Chinese ethnic group accounts for about 32.1% of the total population of the state and 57.3% of the total population of New York City, and has a significant political influence.

New York State and New York City are the relationship between an economic metropolis and the state where it is located. The capital of New York State is Albany, and the light is completely overshadowed by New York City.

Fortunately, both the governor of New York and the mayor of New York are governed by Chinese parties, and the empire has decisive influence on them.

Emperor Li Cha continued;

"I don't care about other places. Promoting independence and splitting according to the established policy of the empire and establishing a pro-Tang regime are all the original proposals.

However, the independent state of New York must never merge with New Jersey, because this is the prey of the empire and no one else is allowed to get involved.

Even a Chinese-dominated regime will not work, and countries such as Britain and France will not be able to oppose it. I will decide on the territory of New Jersey.

Also here... here...

These areas will promote further chaos or local wars, stir up the heat, and the intensification of social unrest will cause a large loss of population, which is conducive to the next step.

These areas cannot be independent early, but will continue to be in turmoil and fall into war, creating opportunities for the imperial military intervention, and finally included in the bag.

The two love ministers are related to the strategic deployment of the empire and the direction of major interests, and are the top secret of the empire.

Only you, my monarch and my ministers know about this matter, and I will secretly inform Prime Minister Tang Aiqing.

The matter is of great importance, and only a few words must not be leaked, otherwise the national law is ruthless.

It should be cautious and important. "

These words were very serious. Marshal Mai Xiaozu and Deputy Prime Minister Yao Guangyi looked at each other, and immediately went down to pay homage, and said: "How can a humble minister be entrusted by His Majesty with the important task of the military and the country? Repay it with all your heart and brains, and you will never die." Don’t dare to ignore it.”

The two important ministers, civil and military, left quickly, deployed the nails planted by the military and political parties in the United States for decades, and acted to promote the development of the situation in a direction that was beneficial to the Tang Empire.

Mid to late December
After Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Ohio announced successively;
The French army is persona non grata, and its military operations in the area are illegal invasions, calling on the masses to resist.

The 5600-member French Expeditionary Force, which is marching toward Ohio, was frequently attacked by local armed forces in Belfast and East Providence.Dozens of casualties were caused by the French army, and they had to stop in the nearby town of Lowell.

On the one hand, they sent a convenient telegram to the headquarters of the French Expeditionary Force in Baltimore for help, asking for instructions on the next step.

On the other hand, they were stagnant in the small town of Rowell, strengthening the guard post to guard against attacks, making their stomachs depressed.

Here, the French army was met with rolling eyes from the residents of the small town, and many townspeople spit in front of the French army, cursed loudly, and even refused to provide all supplies, including food and water.

Whenever the French army went to the river outside the town to fetch water for cooking, there would always be many townspeople running upstream to defecate and urinate, and even throw dirty animal carcasses into the river, which was simply annoying.

Baltimore
The headquarters of the French Expeditionary Force is located in the large military base in Chengxiao. This is the military base where the Tang Empire has been stationed for 25 years, and the supporting facilities are quite complete.

The Baltimore military base has neat rows of barracks and a large training ground, as well as a small commercial street nearly 200 meters long, which can provide department stores, haircuts, catering and other services, just like a small town.

The rolling hills and forest rivers around the barracks played a good role in isolation and shielding, and could also be used for cavalry horses to gallop freely.

After the Datang Empire partially withdrew its troops, this large military base was seamlessly handed over to the French Expeditionary Force.

The French army took over one after another, and there are more than 60 other military bases, large and small, all over the states and important cities of the United States.

base command center
Lieutenant General Jean-François Persini, the commander of the French North American Expeditionary Force, looked at the emergency telegrams that flew in like snowflakes. It was really a big head, and he had a crazy idea of ​​wanting to bomb everything with cannons.

In the secret telegram sent to him, the government asked the French army to take active actions to show its military presence in the United States.

That is to say;

Let the French people know that the government and the French army have been trying their best to maintain the situation in the United States and have been taking active actions in order to reduce the pressure of public opinion.

The energy of the powerful 400 million usury class in France cannot be underestimated. Even the government has been kidnapped and has no choice but to do things against their will.

After careful consideration, Lieutenant General Jean-François Pesini issued a clear order;
"After all, our troops arrived at the mission target point according to the established plan, and the subsequent military operations were cancelled, waiting for further orders from the headquarters."

"As ordered, sir."

The French army's military operations in the United States were restrained, basically following the principles of war in Europe, focusing on not disturbing and harming ordinary civilians, and strictly disciplined.

The United States is not a French colony. Not only Tang and the United Kingdom are watching here, but all European countries are paying attention to the development of the situation in the United States, and it is impossible to act arbitrarily.

After the end of the Second North American War, millions of army soldiers returned to the countryside with weapons, including heavy weapons such as artillery, which can be said to be a powder keg.

There are many veterans in the United States who have war experience, and they generally hold a large number of weapons such as rifles and revolvers. The white militia is a local tradition, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Since entering September
Many troops sent by the French army to various places were attacked in an organized way, and more than [-] battles broke out, causing hundreds of casualties.

The French military intervention provoked outrage and is now the enemy of all.

Major General Henry of the British North American Liaison Office warned; "The French army must restrain its behavior and avoid becoming the chief culprit of exacerbating the turmoil in the region. This has become the main problem that needs to be solved urgently."

The number of British troops stationed in North America is small. Just next to the shipyard barracks of the Datang Empire in New York, there is a small-scale Royal Navy Station and a coordinated North American liaison office, with a total of 362 officers and soldiers.

After the partial withdrawal of the Tang Empire, the British army has withdrawn all combat troops from the United States, and the total number of them is less than 3000.

But the existence of the British army should not be underestimated because of this. Even if it is only Major General Henry, the director of the North American Liaison Office, it will represent the British Empire and put a lot of pressure on France.

The North American Headquarters of the Tang Empire has never spoken out, and has not officially commented on the military actions of the French army. The imperial garrison has also maintained considerable restraint, greatly reducing unnecessary military actions.

Afraid of comparison, American public opinion has been appraising the garrison of the Tang Empire all the way up, and its image has also become positive. This is something that no one could have predicted.
