Wild North America 1846

these days
Leading a group of people in Wuthering Heights to tackle the tracked armored vehicle project day and night, working hard for their dreams, and solving project problems one by one.

This made Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiao full of fighting spirit, and devoted himself to Wuthering Heights every day, eating, living, and researching with the engineers, and the high enthusiasm of a group of young people was completely aroused...

this day

by the woods

"Second brother, I found out, this Highness is an academic madman obsessed with research!" Second Lieutenant Pan Zhicheng shook his head in disbelief, and continued with a bit of resentment;
"It's been a few months, and our scientific research base is so close to Philadelphia, it's only a 20-minute drive away.

But His Highness never went to the noble balls and banquets in the city, never touched women, let alone enjoyed good food and wine, and lived like a harsh Puritan.

Even we suffer together. My ass is bumped every day on that broken armored vehicle, and my internal organs are turned upside down. When will such a hard life be worth it? "

Captain Pan Zhixin looked at his disgruntled younger brother, went straight up and kicked his ass, kicking him staggeringly.

Second Lieutenant Pan Zhicheng hurriedly stood up, clutching his buttocks in disbelief and shouting, "What are you doing...Second Brother?"

"I'm kicking you bastard. You've spent so many years of military career living like a dog. Can't you tell the difference between good and bad?" Captain Pan Zhixin cursed and pointed at his nose;

"Do you know how lucky we are to be able to work together in front of His Highness?
Your Highness is a person who can really do great things, so with such a noble status, he can sink his heart and become obsessed with research.Not being moved by external objects, this alone is enough to be admirable.

How much self-discipline does this require?

What kind of perseverance?
My lord father willingly took the risk to pave the way for us. As long as we two brothers follow His Highness, we will have a bright future.

In the future, earning a noble honor for yourself and your family is not a dream, isn't that enough?
You have to think about your own identity. Even if a commoner spends his life debauchery and surrounded by beautiful women, he is just a lowly class, just having fun for a while.

Compared with the brighter future, it is simply a difference.

How can you, an idiot who doesn't distinguish between good and bad, deserve to be my third brother? If you want to go out and have fun, I'll just give you a pass, just go and play! "

After all, it was his own brother, this merciless scolding made Second Lieutenant Pan Zhicheng's face change suddenly, and he knew that his mistake was a bit outrageous.

It's not that he doesn't know what is good or bad, but that the young man's character is genuine and playful. Who wouldn't want to linger in the night banquets and dances of nobles, and wander in the gentle hometown of Xiangche beauty?
To know

Although Pan Zhixin and Pan Zhicheng were born in the Duke's Mansion, they are both commoners, not nobles.

According to the imperial code of nobility;

Marshal Pan Hengchen of the Royal Navy was honored as the first-class prestige Duke for his illustrious meritorious service.

There is only one noble title in the entire first-class prestige state mansion.

After the old duke passed away, it will be inherited by the eldest son Lord Pan Shouguo in the future. Among the other children of the old duke, all men can be honored as "Lord" and all women can be honored as "Princess" and enjoy the glory of nobility.

Pan Zhixin and Pan Zhicheng's uncles are all "lords" and their aunts are all "princesses", but these are only respectful titles, not noble titles.

Their next generation of children are all civilians.

Therefore, several aunts of Captain Pan Zhixin in the Duke's Mansion were all married into noble families, including earls, viscounts, and baronial families. They enjoyed the standard of the main wife and could pass on the noble blood of nobles.

In the Tang Empire, no nobleman dared to accept the princess as a concubine. That would be like stepping on the face of the nobles of the entire empire, and it would cause public outrage.

Several uncles either joined the army or entered politics, and although they have made some achievements, their children are all civilians, and this cannot be changed.

In the generation of Pan Zhixin and Pan Zhicheng, only the elder brother Pan Zhiren can be honored as "Your Excellency the Lord", and he will be the heir to the title of the first-class duke of the prestige in the future, provided that he can live to that day.

If the eldest brother Pan Zhiren unfortunately gets his braids prematurely, Pan Zhixin will win the grand prize, and his lineage will become the heir to the Duke's Mansion.

Although Second Lieutenant Pan Zhicheng was momentarily confused, he was not stupid.

After being woken up by his elder brother, Captain Pan Zhixin, who scolded him like a storm, he finally lowered his head in dejection, walked over with a face full of shame and said;
"Second brother, it's my younger brother who made a mistake. I was really fooled by lard for a while, and I won't do it again next time."

"You can't say it with your mouth, you have to know your mistakes in your heart. If you force yourself, His Highness will notice something wrong sooner or later, and then you really have no chance at all."

"My foolish brother, thank you for your enlightenment. Now that I am an adult with a wife and children, I know the good and the bad." Second Lieutenant Pan Zhicheng straightened his back and nodded seriously;

"This family relies on me to establish a family. I will never dare to fool around anymore. I must obey what my second brother said and do all the affairs that His Highness has instructed."

"That's great, third brother, the experimental group you lead is actually very important. The improved results in the laboratory require the experimental group to run around and verify repeatedly. No matter how hard or tiring you are, you can't be sloppy!"

"Knowing about Second Brother, Brother Yu must follow what Brother said, calm down and do things diligently."

"Hehehe... That's right. If you really want to drink a couple of glasses, then come to my dormitory at night. I still have a few bottles of strong liquor hidden there. You can have a good drink."

"That's great. I'll bring two pieces of dried meat to go with the wine, and a can of beans." Second Lieutenant Pan Zhicheng's mouth was fading out during this time. Hearing what his brother said, he almost jumped up in excitement.

Wuthering Heights' logistics supply is very good. There are fish, meat, eggs, and milk every now and then. Free-range chickens and ducks have been eaten for several times. Every day there are only eggs, and hundreds of duck eggs can be picked up.

A small number of chickens and ducks flew out of the barbed wire, and gradually turned into pheasants and ducks, which made the nearby forest a lot more lively.

The standard of food supply for officers is much higher than that of soldiers, no less than half a catty of meat a day, a glass of milk, and a monthly supply of cigarettes and toffee, but it certainly does not include spirits and women.

Pan Zhixin and Pan Zhicheng belonged to the third generation of immigrants. When they grew up, they were bathed in the infinite glory of the empire, lived in a relatively affluent environment, and hardly suffered from the hardships of their predecessors.

Under the relatively strict education and growth environment of the Duke's Mansion, the Pan brothers belong to the relatively outstanding part of the noble family children. They abide by the honor of their fathers serving in the army and act diligently.

It is nothing new that there are good natures and bad ones.

Time flies, and five years have passed in a flash.

The wheel of history rolls forward
In the past 189-4 years, July 7th-the outbreak of the Toyo-shima naval battle was the beginning of the Qing-Japanese War...

Just like in the original history, although it was hard to tell the winner in the naval battle, the corrupt court was frightened, and the two giant ships Dingyuan and Zhenyuan led the remaining ships to avoid the battle on Liugong Island, and the final outcome was the same.

After this battle

Fusang country swept away the humiliation of slavery and oppression in modern times, and the morale of the people was greatly boosted. After tasting the sweetness of innovation, the whole country supported the innovation measures and accelerated the process of modern industrialization by using huge war reparations.

In the Tang Empire

The grandsons of the emperor entered the empire's succession policy one after another as adults. His Royal Highness Tang-Li Kun, the king of Guangnan, had no hope of inheriting the great treasure. He accepted the emperor's imperial seal and went to Colombia to become a vassal. Colombia was renamed the Kingdom of Guangnan.

His Royal Highness Tang-Li Xin, King of Pingxi, accepted the emperor's seal and went to Ohio to become a feudal vassal.

at the end of the year
Lord Pan Shouguo, as a candidate for the prime minister of the "National Power Party", defeated the competitor of the "Communist Party" and won the 189-5 general election, becoming the sixth prime minister of the Tang Empire.

Soon afterwards, Britain, France and other countries withdrew their troops from North America one after another.

The Datang Empire took advantage of the situation to include Maryland and Delaware, and renamed Washington, D.C., Columbia, the Eastern Metropolis, officially announcing that it would transfer part of the imperial administrative functions to the city.

The Ministry of North American Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Colonial Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, Health and Sports, the Royal Army and the Royal Navy have successively announced that some important government functions will be moved to Dongdu.

Beginning of taking office
新一届帝国政府就面临着189-6年5月1日，大唐帝国皇帝登基50周年暨帝国成立50周年大典，这是最重要的盛大庆典活动。

The White House has undergone large-scale reconstruction and expansion, becoming one of the royal palaces in the eastern region.

In March 189-6, the South American Pacific War, which lasted more than five years, finally came to an end. The alliance of Peru and Bolivia defeated Chile with difficulty and successfully made a comeback, but it also owed a huge war debt.

According to the post-war treaty, Chile's territory was largely dismembered.

Chile's territory originally occupied more than 2351 kilometers of Pacific coastline, resembling a long and narrow French baguette.

after the defeat
Four states in southern Chile were dismembered and lost a coastline of 4 kilometers. These four states were used as war compensation. Three states belonged to Peru and one state belonged to Bolivia.

Since this part of the territory does not border Peru and Bolivia, and the two countries owed a huge debt to the Datang Empire during the war, these four states were transferred to the Datang Empire as the territory to repay part of the debt.

On this basis, the Tang Empire established two vassal states, enfeoffing the King of Qinzhou and the King of Binhai. These two vassal states were also called the Kingdom of Qinzhou and the Kingdom of Binhai.

His Royal Highness Tang-Li Zhe, the 22nd son of the emperor, was conferred the title of King of Qinzhou, and became the 13th vassal king of South America.

The 23rd son of the emperor Tang-His Royal Highness Li Cheng was divided into Binhai King, and he became the 14th vassal king of South America.

Thus

Chile only has 1080 square meters of coastal territory left, and the desert area at the junction of the three northern countries is the main production area of ​​saltpeter and guano, which was jointly carved up by Peru and Bolivia.

The northern part of Chile once again lost two state lands, and became a small South American country with a coastal area of ​​only 430 kilometers, limited to a small area around the capital Santiago.

Its population also shrank sharply from about 300 million before the war to about 143 million. The military government was overthrown by armed riots, prices soared, food and daily necessities were in short supply, the people lived in hardship, and the domestic situation was extremely chaotic.

Chile was brutally dismembered after the defeat, and its national power has been in a slump since then, which shows the importance of standing in line.

Although Peruvian President Petrora led the country to come back against the wind and finally won this rookie war after untold hardships, he also paid a huge price.

Although part of the debt was repaid by dismembering the three states in southern Chile, Peru still owed a huge debt of about 1.3 million Tang Yuan. Calculated by repaying the principal and interest of 1750 million Tang Yuan a year, it would take 15 years to repay.

This almost handed over most of the value of the rich resources in the Atacama Desert that Peru exhausted its national strength and finally won.

The situation in Bolivia is similar. Although the war has been won, it cannot be fed back with abundant resources because it has to repay huge debts.

So it counts

The three parties in the Pacific War, Chile, Peru and Bolivia, were all losers, and the only winner was the Datang Empire.

Fortunately, Peru and Bolivia have expanded their territory, and the two have divided up the rich resources contained in the Atacama Desert. After paying off their debts, there is still some soup left.

Chile is in a terrible situation. From its original occupation of more than 3600 square kilometers along the Pacific coast (note, since 1871, Chile’s territory has been expanded to the south due to the appearance of the Andean Governor’s Palace, and its expansion to the south has come to an abrupt end, just like Argentina, so it does not have a coastline of 4329 kilometers long in history). It has shrunk sharply to more than 430 kilometers, with a total area of ​​only 8.89 square kilometers, about one-eighth of the original history.

After several years of expansion, the Datang Empire gained 3.75 square kilometers from North America and 4 square kilometers from South America (note: the 27.3 southern states dismembered by Chile), totaling 31.05 square kilometers.

The total territory of the Tang Empire increased from the original 1 million square kilometers to 990 million square kilometers, officially exceeding 2021.05 million square kilometers, and still ranked third in the world after Britain and Russia.

These new territories included in the empire's borders in North and South America, without war or brutal suppression, just fell into the bag so naturally, people once again saw the power of capital.

Only through international borrowing, the capital of the Tang Empire can reap most of the fruits of victory in the Pacific War in South America, allowing Bolivia and Peru to act as thugs and earn a lot of money.

This is a new way of economic colonization, which has aroused the research interest of various colleges and universities in the Tang Empire. Many experts and scholars have made in-depth analysis, trying to find laws that can be used for reference.

The past five years have been turbulent years in the world. The outbreak of the Greek-Turkish War in Europe in 5-5 has deepened new annotations for this turbulent era.
