Wild North America 1846

Chapter 712
Looking at President Chen Huichuan of the Republic of New York and a group of important government officials under him, they left like bereaved dogs in panic, and everyone's face was so solemn that they could drip water.

Presumably, they went back to discuss behind closed doors.

His Royal Highness Tang Li Xin, King of Guangnan, turned around, and suddenly couldn't hold back a "puchi" laugh, and said to the Minister of North American Affairs, Lord Pan Shouguo, somewhat teasingly;
"Hahaha...Master Department Hall, this time I braved my father's reprimand to help you, and I used up all my energy. How about it, can you still be worthy of Eleven?"

Guangnan King and Pingxi King are brothers of the same mother. One is the seventh and the other is the eleventh. They are both descended from Queen Lin.Their elder brother is His Royal Highness Tang-Li Gan, Crown Prince of Qin, and their relationship is naturally much deeper than that of other princes.

With his honorable status, the harsh words he uttered would send chills down the backs of the people of the New York Republic. An ordinary prince would not have this dignity, nor would he have such a strong deterrent force.

With a sincere smile on his face, North American Affairs Minister Pan Shouguo clasped his hands and said respectfully;

"My lord, this time not only my humble minister will accept your affection, but also His Highness the Eleventh, we will keep it in our hearts.

Strength is nothing to say, these few words of yours.At least it saved us the time of going back and forth for several months, and I would like to thank you here.

It's just that Weichen is a little worried, is the force too strong?

That... well, the order to the Northern Military Region, this... I am worried..."

Lord Pan Shouguo hesitated and couldn't speak, his worry was not unreasonable.The empire's control over military power is very tight, and ordinary people can't get their hands on it.

For a North American commander-in-chief like Lieutenant General Escalade Frech, his greatest right is to mobilize a battalion of troops to carry out military operations, which is already the limit.

If more troops are to be mobilized, it must be reported to the Royal Army Staff Headquarters, and it can only be implemented after approval.

The maximum military power that the military department can mobilize is only one regiment. No matter if this number is exceeded at any time, it is necessary to go to the palace to report to His Royal Highness and obtain His Majesty's military order and military talisman.

Long-distance dispatch of troops is to use the secret code of the royal soldier talisman, which can only be implemented after passing the verification. This is not a child's play.

To mobilize troops privately, no matter what the reason... Immediately and unforgivably!
these years
His Majesty the Holy Emperor gradually let go of the administrative power of the cabinet, and no longer bothered about trivial matters, all of which were decided by Qing Yuntai independently, and it was only necessary to report the incident in the weekly weekly interview report.

But the military power is not enough, His Majesty the Holy Emperor has never let go.

Although His Highness Tang-Li Kun, Prince of Guangnan, did not directly issue an order to the northern military region, his actions were already a great arrogance. Which prince can order the mobilization of a field army in a military region?

If so, wouldn't it be a mess?

Seeing Lord Pan Shouguo faltering and fumbling, His Highness Tang-Li Kun of Guangnan smiled, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and then said;

"Old Pan, it's rare that you still worry about me, it seems that I didn't help you in vain, he is a person who knows how to repay you.

Do you really think this king is so reckless?
In order to help Old Eleven get himself involved, just to intimidate the gangsters of the New York Republic, isn't this king a loss to his grandma's family?
Tell you the truth
Father has already issued an order for the mobile corps of the Northern Military Region to march to Ohio and Pennsylvania. I am just an afterthought, to scare those who don't know what to do or what to do.

Now the Northern Legion may have already taken action, and the current chaos in North America will soon be completely settled.

In order to achieve the suddenness of the military action, this news is still top-secret, presumably the minister knows the seriousness, so I won't go into details.

This king will plead guilty to His Majesty alone in this matter, so don't meddle in it, just do things well.

If I could win the New York Republic earlier, I would be less guilty of my father's crimes. "

After hearing this explanation, Lord Pan Shouguo let out a long sigh, and replied with admiration on his face;

"My lord has paved the way for us so much, if this humble minister can't do a good job, then I will really lose face to see my lord again.

The ministers will also play to His Majesty, explain the reasons in detail, and respectfully invite His Majesty to order.

anyway
Our love for the Lord is too great, and we don't know when we will be able to repay it, I feel very uneasy in my heart! "

"Hahaha...that's wrong, you are doing things for the empire, and this king is not just helping you.

North American affairs are related to the core interests of the empire, and the victory of the New York Republic basically establishes the overall situation. How can the king not do his best?
Well, today is a good day for Commander Frech to take office, and he can't be taken advantage of.Today, our men have a good meal, which can be regarded as extra joy! "

"If you have this intention, then you will bother me."

Several people looked at each other and smiled, and surrounded His Highness Guangnan Wang and walked inward together. The sumptuous banquet had been prepared long ago, and they must get drunk today.

At the end of the 19th century, the metropolis of New York was composed of five districts, namely Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Staten Island. The total population of the city was about 5 million, which was greatly inferior to the original history.

Today, New York is the third largest city in North America after Chang'an and Los Angeles. In the world rankings, after London, Chang'an, Paris and Los Angeles, New York ranks fifth (note; it originally ranked second in history, with 326 population second only to London).

The five districts of New York are separated by rivers and bays, and they are separated by bridges and ferries, forming a relatively independent and unified urban distribution pattern.
The essence of New York City lies in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The population of these two central urban areas accounts for more than 6% of New York City, and Chinese people account for more than [-]% of them, especially concentrated in the bustling metropolitan areas.

Queens and the Bronx can only be regarded as suburbs, and they are far from being developed. There are still large areas of wooden shanty towns, which are the low-level white people who immigrated to North America.

As for Staten Island, it is a completely deserted land, with only a few scattered small fishing villages and thousands of people.

The king of Guangnan had expected it well. After President Chen Huichuan and his party left, they first issued an order to block the news, trying to save the last bit of face of the government.

It's nothing to be called around by the princes of the Tang Empire. Think about which country in North America is not like this?My heart is more balanced.

The key is that it cannot be known by the general public. God knows what meaning it will interpret?

The second is to hold an emergency meeting of the party group to discuss issues related to the implementation of the Florida version of the military-political alliance treaty.As for the various conditions put forward before, they are now completely forgotten.

Including President Chen Huichuan, no one questioned that His Highness the King of Guangnan would make false threats. With his honorable status, there is absolutely no need to do such a degrading thing.

The most important thing now is to quickly form a consensus within the party group, and then do the work of communicating with other party members.With great strength, Xiao tried her best to promote the Florida version of the intimate military-political treaty to be passed in Congress as soon as possible, and signed and implemented by the president.

His Royal Highness Guangnan said that there is only one chance.

As for the negotiation, don't mention it. The key officials of the government are almost scared to pee. Isn't it embarrassing enough?
Regarding the sale of Brooklyn, President Chen Huichuan plans to wait until the alliance treaty is passed, and then the New York City government will initiate a motion, and the government will quickly pass the matter.

This is only the sale of undeveloped land rights in Brooklyn, which does not affect national sovereignty, nor does it affect the taxation, administrative law enforcement and police functions of the Republic.

It was nothing more than selling the land in the hands of the government to the foundation under the royal family of the Tang Empire, which fell into the category of large-scale land transactions.

The blocks and buildings that have been developed in Brooklyn are all owned. If the Datang Royal Foundation wants to develop further, it needs to purchase property rights from these original owners, which has nothing to do with the government.

Whether it is to build a block full of strong oriental characteristics, whether it is an unsightly robbery, or a development that complies with laws and regulations, it belongs to the category of real estate management.

The New York City government will collect the corresponding fixed asset transaction deed tax according to the regulations, and the development projects will be approved on a case-by-case basis. The powers of water supply, power supply, police and municipality are still in the hands of the New York City government.

After clarifying the importance, it is still the top priority to get through the work of the various parties in the New York Republic as soon as possible, to promote the covenant between the two countries as soon as possible and to obtain the official diplomatic recognition of the Tang Empire.

One more day of delay would increase the dissatisfaction of the domineering Datang Empire.

While the high-level government of the Republic of New York was busy all night, the train station in East Fort, Indiana (Note; formerly Indianapolis), thousands of miles away, was also busy.

The densely packed army officers and soldiers, all armed with rifles and backpacks, entered the ranks on the platform in order, and each officer looked serious.

In the rear carriages of the military column, the war horses are being pulled up through the springboard, and there are busy shipments of artillery ammunition and other luggage, which appear tense and orderly.

On the rails at the far end of the train station platform, there was still a special train carrying arms. The twenty or so carriages in the front were full of arms and luggage, and there were more than a dozen flatbed cars behind, carrying some strange-looking armored vehicles.

take a closer look

You can find these armored vehicles, the faint shadows of those trucks that are everywhere in some cities and villages.

It's just that this is riveted with pieces of iron armor, which seems to be able to prevent the enemy's volley of guns.

Then, a machine gun port was left on the roof, and several smaller square holes were opened on both sides, which could be used for rifles to shoot from the inside out.

Whether this thing is useful or not, no one can tell.

The commanders of the cavalry regiments, who could be called the nobles of the infantry, all had their nostrils upturned. They dismissed these seemingly stupid and rough armored chariots, and their evaluations were even more messy.

They even think that these armored vehicles cannot be called "cavalry chariots". These black iron coffins are simply an insult to the Royal Cavalry, which has a glorious tradition and a glorious history.

The emperor of the Tang Empire ruled the world on horseback, and the imperial cavalry was a world-famous iron cavalry, famous for its powerful combat effectiveness and iron-blooded and tough style.

In the Tang Empire, every cavalry officer was proud of his own cavalry. This sacred sense of honor was engraved in his bones and blood, engraved in the glory inherited by the cavalry regiment.

Just ask, how can they accept this ugly iron-clad chariot, named "cavalry chariot", it is really more uncomfortable than eating flies.
