Wild North America 1846

Chapter 748 A Group of Bandits

Emperor Li Cha stayed in the palace of Chaoge City (Philadelphia). There are hundreds of such palaces in various cities in the empire, with different architectural styles, and they are only used by His Majesty the Emperor and the direct descendants of the royal family.

in every palace
There are exclusive private areas for the emperor, including the imperial study room, reception hall and bedroom. The larger ones also include facilities such as gardens, verandahs, small lakes and rockeries. Every plant and tree are top-notch materials, and various priceless items are displayed. The treasures of Wenwan show the extravagance of the imperial family.

The Philadelphia Palace is a medium-sized Baroque castle building, which is rebuilt from an ancient castle with a history of more than 150 billion years, and has a very European architectural style.

early morning
In the heavily curtained bedroom, Emperor Li Cha woke up from the pink arms of two young and beautiful Caucasian girls, took a shower, and immediately felt refreshed.

He is still in good health, and his body shape is well controlled. After breakfast, he strode to the imperial study with great vigor.

"My servant waits to welcome His Majesty, and wish His Majesty the best of health."

"Aiqing is free of courtesy, and I am flat."

Emperor Li Cha walked past Zheng Huai'en, deputy director of the Royal Secretariat, and others without stopping, and walked straight into the spacious imperial study.

The deputy director, Viscount Zheng Huai'en, waved his hands in a hurry, signaling the first-class secretaries and second-class senior secretaries to do their own work. With the sorted documents under his arm, he followed into the imperial study with a humble look.

At this moment, the tall figure of His Majesty the Emperor stood by the window, condescendingly looking down at the central square that was gradually becoming bustling in the distance, and when he heard the noise behind him, he asked, "Tell me, what's going on in the world these days?"

"My minister obeys the order." Zheng Huai'en didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly put a pile of documents under his arm in his hands, opened them and began to report;

"Show Your Majesty;
Recently, mainstream European society has been discussing the large-scale deployment of troops by the United Kingdom to South Africa, especially Germany, France, Ojo, Italy and other countries.

It mostly held a sympathetic stance towards the Boer regime in South Africa, opposed the strong oppression of Britain, and even opposed the war.

Especially in Germany, public opinion jumped higher and the words were the most intense. This is closely related to Kaiser Wilhelm II's pro-Dutch stance. Germany is also the European country that most violently criticized our Tang Empire's war methods in the East Indies.

When Kaiser Wilhelm II inspected the Kiel Canal, he said to the media present;

"Britain and Tang are the countries with the most extensive territory and colonies in the world, and they still have a lot to fill."

"Now one of them is in the East Indies, and the other is in South Africa. They are working together to carve up the few remaining overseas colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This is an extremely immoral behavior, and we must take a clear stand against it."

"I strongly urge the international community to step in and stop this bullying and banditry."

"Everyone knows that South Africa has endless gold and diamonds, and the East Indies has spices, coffee, tobacco and cocoa that European society cannot do without. They are all treasures with rich resources."

"I strongly appeal to the righteous nations of the European continent to unite against this act of aggression."

The actions of the German government seriously hurt the relationship with Britain and Tang Dynasty, and the imperial government also made a series of tough responses.

Including but not limited to the passage of the "Trade Sanctions Against Germany Act" in the United States, which comprehensively increases the tax rate of German industrial products throughout the Americas, from the original average tax rate of 21.6% to the current average tax rate of 88.7%.

Reduce personnel exchanges and cultural exchanges between the two countries, restrict the outflow of technology and technology, restrict German immigration, restrict financial loans from international consortiums to Germany, restrict the export of important raw materials such as gold, silver, copper, and saltpeter to Germany, and reduce the level of bilateral diplomatic dialogue, etc. and other measures.

The Imperial Cloud Province and the city of Suez have now detained a total of eleven German merchant ships, and various contraband items have been detected in these German merchant ships, including human trafficking and transportation of ammunition.

The German side made a strong protest against this, and demanded that the imperial side treat the detained German ships reasonably, abandon the practice of accusing them, and indeed maintain the transatlantic bilateral relations.

The British side also made things difficult for German merchant ships on the Rhodes side of the Suez Canal. There are already 37 German merchant ships stranded in Rhodes, and many ships have to turn around and return to Europe.

But we also found that the Germans have also learned to be smart.

They now entrust French and Italian merchant ships to transport the goods, or buy them in cash from Paradise Province and other places, so as to avoid the joint attack of Britain and Tang, and provide a large amount of materials for the colonial construction of German East Africa and the German Jiaodong Peninsula.

Overall
Due to the momentum between Germany and France and the confrontation between the two major military groups, it is completely unrealistic to form a unified force in Europe.

The noise coming from Europe today is nothing more than the restlessness of countries such as De Heibio, which cannot affect the unanimous position of countries such as Britain, France and Russia, let alone the military operations that the empire is advancing.

On the one hand, the Germans blatantly criticized the empire's new colonial actions, on the other hand, they frantically expanded their colonies on the Asian and African continents, and even went to the Pacific Ocean to find unowned islands. The food became more and more ugly.

Fortunately, the empire had a clear lesson early on, and it took all the Pacific islands into its pocket and established an irrefutable and clear territorial status, which made the Germans return angrily.

To date
Europe's opposition to Britain's large-scale increase of troops in South Africa and the empire's expansion and colonization of the East Indies remained verbal, with no substantive actions in sight.

The main contradiction in the world today is still the confrontation between the two major military blocs in Europe and the escalating arms race. The frequent outbreaks of war in the hotspot Balkan region are likely to become the source of disasters that provoke an all-out war in Europe.

In this regard, the former German Prime Minister Bismarck once predicted when he was dying on his bedside; "Sooner or later, someone in the Balkans will start a war in Europe, and this time will not be far away."

"Twenty years after Frederick the Great died, Prussia was defeated by Napoleon at the Battle of Jena. Twenty years after my death, Wilhelm II's crown will also be lost."

Due to the great influence of former German Prime Minister Bismarck, his dying prophecy spread wildly in Europe, slapping Kaiser Wilhelm II in the face.

According to reliable sources
After hearing these words, Kaiser Wilhelm II angrily chopped his beloved British Marshal uniform into pieces with his sword, and shouted in his mouth: "Damn old thing, you made me the laughing stock of the whole of Europe. "

According to the trends of the German Royal Navy, a new wave of construction of main ironclad ships is about to start, and this has aroused the high vigilance of the British Royal Navy, vowing to "never sit back and watch the Germans become stronger."

British Prime Minister Robert Cecil recently sent a letter to His Excellency the Prime Minister of the Empire, intending to coordinate a unified position between the two countries..."

Robert Cecil?
If Emperor Richard remembers correctly, this person is the leader of the Conservative Party transformed from the Cali Party, the 49th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and a strong expansionist colonialist.

think about it

When the Tang Kingdom was established in 1846, it should have been the 31st Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Robert Peel, who was a kind and nice guy, a very typical British gentleman.

Standing at the current height of Emperor Li Cha, he already knew clearly;

Britain not only has a large-scale war plan to invade South Africa, but also a plan to unite European countries to invade the Qing Empire, which will be implemented at the end of this year and early next year at the earliest.

The old powers in the world will never raise troops out of anger, just like the Tang Empire, which has coveted the East Indies for 10 years, and the invasion plan is definitely not a temporary idea.

What is lacking is just an opportunity.

Because of the expansion of North America, the Tang Empire urgently stopped the Tang Dezhao government's East Indies expansion and colonization plan, which was postponed for as long as 9 years.

its purpose

It is to concentrate on fully digesting the new territory in North America. This is like eating. You can't overfill too much food, or it will cause problems sooner or later.

The plan to expand to the East Indies has always existed, and when the time is right, such as the current international South African crisis, it can be launched again.

The same is true of the plans of the British colonists. They are no longer satisfied with their current status in the Qing Dynasty, and they are trying to gain deeper control over this rich and vast land of China and grab more benefits.

The British see very clearly the decadent rule of the Qing Dynasty. This is a backward feudal regime that is riddled with holes, and it has long been precarious.

As long as you kick it hard, it will collapse...

This contains the global colonial interests of Britain, France and other countries, and it is also an important part of the global strategy of these old colonial empires, which cannot be contained like a rolling wave.

simple metaphor
It's just that a group of robbers have already targeted the landlord's stupid son, just looking for a suitable opportunity to attack.

This is a looting operation jointly participated by the world's major powers such as Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, and Austria. The Tang Empire may not participate, but it cannot stop it.

because of this
It will definitely cause major European powers to have serious doubts about the alliance of Chinese countries on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, and a new round of global confrontation will follow, that is, a full-scale confrontation between the white world and the Chinese world.

Emperor Li Cha did not dare to gamble, because the Great Qin Empire on the other side of the Pacific Ocean did not agree with him, but instead took strict precautions everywhere, and instead walked very close to the European bandits.

This situation is really dumbfounding, and the best way is to let nature take its course.

Hundreds of millions of Chinese people who are sleeping need to be awakened by a strong sense of shame and pain, so that they can spontaneously overthrow the decadent feudal rule and usher in a new day of fully embracing the world.

The only thing that the British did not expect was that the resistance of the Boers in South Africa was so fierce, the losses caused to the British army were so heavy, and the war lasted so long.

In order to add a little difficulty to the British, the Imperial Security Bureau has already stockpiled a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food in several locations in South Africa through secret channels.

This included 3.2 brand new German-made rifles, 160 German-made Krupp light field guns, a large amount of ammunition, warm clothing, shoes and canned food for long-term storage.

In the later stage of the British blockade, these weapons and supplies were undoubtedly like opening a treasure chest, which could bring great confidence to the stubborn Boers to continue fighting.

in a way

The empire is the country that supports the Boers the most, and it belongs to the kind that does good deeds without leaving a name, which is absolutely interesting.

The Boers can use these weapons and ammunition to kill more Britons and vent their anger on the Chinese people who are about to face a serious disaster. Can it be regarded as revenge in disguise?
