Wild North America 1846

Having ruled the imperial court for more than [-] years, Emperor Richard has been labeled as a dictator by the European kingdoms. This concept is deeply rooted and almost unchangeable.

Common recognition in mainstream European society;

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire is an emperor with a strong desire for control and a preference for expansion and colonization. He is tolerant and sophisticated, and is almost impeccable.

He is an outstanding world-class strategist, an authentic leader of the Great China Doctrine, and treats the enemy indifferently and ruthlessly.

Although there are many criticisms, no one will deny;

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire is an unborn monarch like Her Majesty Queen Victoria of England, a hero in troubled times who led the rise of the Chinese nation.

The most representative evaluation comes from several British Prime Ministers, who generally believe that;
"What we are facing is a monarch with excellent strategic sensitivity. He is domineering and cold-blooded, but he is on the right track..."

"Although he has been troubling London, we really can't leave the country of Tang..."

"Except for Her Majesty the Queen, I have never seen a monarch who has such a deep understanding of the international situation. He is like an experienced prairie wolf king, always dormant with great patience and knows how to act at the right time... "

"There is no doubt that His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor Richard is wise and sensitive. He is a natural leader. Words and deeds always have a unique charm that people cannot refuse. The British Empire should be grateful that he is a friend and not an opponent ..."

"Frankly, he's a tough opponent."

Sitting high on the throne, Emperor Richard personally wrote a letter of reply to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, sealed it with a jade seal and wax seal with the imperial emblem, and packed it in an exquisitely carved sandalwood box.

The specific content, only Her Majesty the Queen knows.

Time came to 1890, and Her Majesty Queen Victoria was 71 years old, entering the end of her glorious reign.

Compared with the aggressive global colonial movement in the early and middle periods of Victoria, Queen Victoria, who entered the end of her reign, was more conservative, nostalgic, and more humane, just like an old European grandmother.

these years
It has become a rule that some princes and grandchildren of the royal family of the Tang Empire who went to study in Europe will always go to Buckingham Palace in London to meet Her Majesty the Queen.

Objectively speaking
Maintaining a close relationship between the British and Tang royal families has greatly benefited the Tang Empire, and Her Majesty Queen Victoria's old friendship with the Tang Dynasty also directly affected the decision-making of Downing Street.

Slowly closing the wooden box, Emperor Li Cha breathed a sigh of relief.

The action in North America this time is indeed a bit big, but as long as the British are appeased, the European world dominated by whites will not rebound too strongly, and it is basically within the tolerance range.

The large-scale military operations in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have deeply touched the sensitive nerves of the white world, and the resulting impact will not fade easily in the next two or three decades.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, which has been the case since ancient times.

in the late 19th century
The white world dominated by European countries will not care about the cruel colonial suppression methods of the Tang Empire on the indigenous Indians, African black tribes, the old Spanish colonies in South America or the West Pacific islands, but this does not include the traditional gathering of white immigrants in North America district.

This is true for the three states mentioned above. They all have a history of colonization and development for at least 150 years, forming a relatively dense and complete white community. The local white people are inextricably linked with the original suzerain country.

Therefore, after the military operation, the implementation of policies to restore the stability of the situation must be cautious. It is advisable to implement a gradual approach of "boiling frogs in warm water" to slowly digest these important areas on the east coast.

Owning the three continents of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the Tang Empire has completely opened up the continental channel connecting the east and west coasts of North America, and obtained the most convenient east coast port for exporting to Europe.

Its political, military, and economic significance are all extraordinary, and it is worth paying such a high price.

In Emperor Li Cha's opinion

Now the pattern of North and South America is basically clear, and the empire's territory is more perfect than the strategic vision in the early years, and it has reached the final stage.

From the map of the empire

The Tang Empire almost monopolizes North America, and Central America comes from almost the entire Pacific coastline of South America. Only two countries, Chile and Peru, share a small section.

It occupies more than 1.44 kilometers of the 3400 kilometers of Pacific coastline in South America, and the rest is in the hands of the Tang Empire.

On the side facing the Atlantic Ocean, the Tang Empire has the strength to go to sea in three lines. The northernmost point is the ports of the Great Lakes region, which enter the Atlantic Ocean through the St. Lawrence River in British Canada.

The most convenient transportation channel in the central part is the main railway line across the North American continent. The destination ports for cargo transportation in the east are New York, Jersey Port, Boston and Philadelphia, and enter the vast Atlantic Ocean from here.

The south can enter the Atlantic Ocean through Houston on the Gulf of Mexico, the Nicaragua Canal, and the port of New Orleans in the Republic of Mississippi, establishing smooth and convenient regular trade and transportation routes.

truth to say

Emperor Richard was very satisfied with the current situation in North and South America. The military occupation of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey went very smoothly, and there was no relatively tenacious resistance in any region.

Of course, fierce fighting will not be absent, and there will be desperate resistance in a small number of areas, but this is irrelevant.

Emperor Li Cha now habitually considers from the strategic level and looks at problems from a high-level macro perspective.They don't care much about the loss of hundreds or thousands of people in a battle, and they don't pay attention to specific policy policies.

At this point in time, there are only two questions before him;
One is how to annex and digest the three continents of North America, so that the strength of the empire will be further improved, and the absolute dominance of each North American region will be consolidated and strengthened.

One is to consider how to dismember Chile in South America, thoroughly establish the structure of South American countries, and usher in a relatively long period of stable development.

The "Guano War" broke out in May 1887. After two years of rookie pecking at each other, the Peruvian and Bolivian alliances retreated steadily, and the defeat was basically set.

at this critical moment

It has been a year and a half since the Tang Empire brazenly intervened in the name of the "American Alliance" to forcefully mediate the "Bird War" among the three South American countries competing for resources, and pressed the pause button.

The official inter-country mediation mechanism of the "American Alliance" has been launched, and the peace talks held in Panama have been held for 11 rounds, and the talks broke down, and the talks broke down again...

Anyone can see the eccentricity of the Tang Empire, and imposed a comprehensive material embargo on Chile under the pretext of prohibiting the supply of war materials to the belligerent countries. This almost pushed this South American country, which is dominated by white Spanish descendants, into an abyss of destruction.

Domestic debt is high, prices are soaring, food is scarce, and large areas of urban and rural areas have starved to death.

If it weren't for the strong iron-fisted rule of the Chilean military government, it would have collapsed long ago.

on the other side

The South American Pacific Railway connecting Peru and Bolivia has delivered a steady stream of large quantities of materials and arms to these two South American countries.

Help it use the precious truce period to reorganize social order and the army, and load its rich mineral resources on trains to exchange for urgently needed funds and food.

It took almost a year and a half to stabilize the social situation in Peru and Bolivia, and introduced many retired officers from the Tang Empire to reorganize their armaments and prepare to ignite the flames of war again.

This mile and one outside, the gap came out.

The next war will be fought by two countries, Peru and Bolivia. The empire will definitely not intervene. It will only influence the regional situation through financial and economic means, and also determine the direction of the final war.

The Tang Empire's assistance was not free, and the huge war loan borrowed had to be repaid with interest.

after the war

Peru and Bolivia will either repay their debts by dismembering Chile, selling their mineral resources, or ceding Chilean territory, the details of which will be discussed later.

It won't be long before the flames of war will reignite in South America...

facing this situation

The United Kingdom and Germany, which have been helping Chile, are beyond their reach, unable to reverse the decline, let alone bring substantial help.

The main reason is that the sanctions of the embargo are too severe, and there is no solution at all.

Chile is geographically located on the Pacific side of South America. Copper ore powder exported to Europe cannot pass through the Nicaragua Canal, which is equivalent to a death sentence for foreign trade.

The copper ore powder exported by itself cannot be shipped out, and the urgently needed European materials cannot be shipped in. The country has been dragged down by the economic crisis, and its bones and flesh are trapped. It is not far from death.

Since the spring famine this year alone, 5 to 6 people have starved to death in urban and rural areas, and the famine wave is still intensifying.

Although Chile still occupies a large area of ​​​​the enemy's territory and is in a favorable position militarily, the domestic situation is getting worse and worse, which greatly shakes the morale of the army.

General Francisco Antonio Pinto, President of Chile, announced to the nation;

"This year will be the most difficult year ever, and it will also be the most dangerous moment for the country and the nation. The whole country must unite as one, unite as one to overcome difficulties, and usher in the victory against imperialism..."

more than three years of war
The total population of Chile dropped from more than 330 million before the war to less than 300 million. A large number of newborns died in the severe famine, and the number of natural and unnatural deaths increased several times. Everything was terrible.

No one can blame this. At the beginning, the three South American countries wanted to use war to resolve their disputes, and no one was willing to back down.

Again, war is not a dangerous game that everyone can play.

In today's world power game
European powers such as Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, and Austria-Hungary generally recognized that the entire Americas and the Eastern Pacific region were the sphere of influence of the Datang Empire, a proper back garden.

It is not easy to achieve this consensus. It is the result of unremitting efforts in domestic and foreign affairs for more than [-] years since the rise of the Tang Empire, and it is also a brilliant achievement that Emperor Richard is most proud of.

Flipping through the memorials on the imperial case, Emperor Li Cha was attracted by one of them, opened it and read it carefully for a long time, and couldn't help showing a knowing smile on his face.

This is a summary of the latest military situation submitted by the Northern Corps, which describes the battles in several key areas.

Among them, the Detroit Independent [-]st Cavalry Chariot Battalion led by Major Lei Xiao performed well in the two battles, which triggered many discussions within the Northern Legion about the new armored chariot, which was also included in the report.

In the first battle, the Detroit Infantry Division encountered an armed formation of more than 1 white militia gathered in the area during the maneuvering advance of the Detroit Infantry Division in Alisburg to the York area.

The Detroit Infantry Division quickly shifted from a marching position to a combat line. In the process, the enemy wasted no time in pressing heavily, trying to severely damage the division in one fell swoop.

at this critical moment

The 17 chariots of the Independent First Cavalry Chariot Battalion (Note; another 7 broke down for some reason and fell behind the marching queue) quickly moved forward, forming an insurmountable armored formation.

17 cavalry tanks lined up in a line in front of the Detroit Infantry Division, with an interval of about 40 to 50 meters between them. The Colt Storm heavy machine guns equipped on the cavalry tanks fired violently, and armed this relatively powerful white militia in one fell swoop. The power was completely defeated and a complete victory was achieved.

The second battle took place in Allentown, 2 kilometers away.

6 armored chariots of the Second Squadron belonging to the Independent First Cavalry Chariot Battalion (Note, 12 armored vehicles in a squadron, four were lost in the battle, and two were broken down to be repaired) were performing the task of guarding the traffic arteries, Suddenly, he was attacked by more than 370 white cavalry from the enemy.

At that time, the white cavalry led the horses on foot, and with the help of the cover of the nearby dense forest, they had quietly approached to a distance of about 1.3 kilometers, which was a very dangerous distance.

In the case of riding a horse and charging, it only takes a short one and a half minutes to get close.

in this critical moment

The 6 cavalry armored chariots played the role of the mainstay, turned around the heavy machine guns and fired violently, annihilating more than 240 enemy cavalry in World War I, and captured more than 20 people, only less than [-] people fled.

These two excellent battle examples showed the important role of cavalry armored chariots on the modern battlefield, and aroused strong interest from the top leaders of the Northern Legion.

The commander-in-chief of the Northern Legion went to Allentown to personally investigate the whole process of the battle, and gave a very high evaluation.

These are explained in detail in the memorial.

close the memorial
Emperor Li Cha could not help but smile on his face. He knew that a major factor in this was the identity of Major Lei Xiao, which allowed the commander of the Northern Legion to speak so generously, and it was inevitable that there was some exaggeration.

But it is undeniable that Major Lei Xiao's performance is indeed outstanding.

He was able to persistently develop the world's first armored chariot unit, which in itself shows that he has an almost keen intuition for the development of military weapons, has the ability to act, and has the ability to execute, which is very rare.

Isn't it gratifying to have a military genius in the imperial family?
To date
There are a total of 81 princes in the Tang royal family, 16 of whom have reached the age of 76, and the youngest prince is more than 4 years old. The royal heirs are really flourishing.

Emperor Li found that enough was enough. Luckily, the concubines in the harem no longer kept dragon species, and they also stopped selecting beautiful women into the palace from the people.

Among so many princes, 34 chose to join the army. Now most of them have finished their military careers, or went to the vassal states, or went to overseas vassal states to help the princes with close ties to govern the government, or entered the government ministries to do things, or simply Lay back and have fun.

Only twelve princes remained in the army, including His Highness Tang-Li Kun, Prince of Guangnan, and His Royal Highness Tang-Li Xin, Prince of Pingxi, all of whom loved the army deeply from the bottom of their hearts.

This young prince Tang-Li Yi successfully aroused the interest of Emperor Li Cha. He knew that armoring the army's weapons would be a major trend in the future, so he wanted to cultivate this prince's interest.

Not to mention pulling seedlings to encourage growth, just doing it smoothly.
