Wild North America 1846

in the room

Richard put down the latest government briefing in his hand, shook his head with disdain, and said with a smile;

"The British are becoming more and more petty in their dealings. They cannot escape the narrow island mentality. They do not have the magnanimity of mainland countries at all. The structure is too small!
The so-called times make heroes.

William II made a big move to win over the Tang Empire, promising that in this world, only the emperor and Cao Er would share the world.

It is really ridiculous that the British only brought up German East Africa and wanted others to sacrifice their lives for them, and they also talked about such illusory things as traditional close friendship. "

If the Tang Empire had participated in such an unprecedented and brutal all-out war early, tens of millions of troops would have to be sacrificed, and tens of billions of dollars would have been spent. There would be no tangible benefits, so who would be willing to participate?
Even if the European war spreads to the Near East and North Africa, even if it spreads to the entire Eurasian land bridge, it has nothing to do with the entire America separated by the vast Atlantic Ocean.

Beat them, kill them, just beat them into dog brains.

Without this serious internal attrition, if all the white power in Europe flows to all parts of the world, even North America will not be able to bear it.

Ninety percent of the consumption of World War I was in Europe. Strictly speaking, this was a comprehensive European civil war, but it was only of a wider scope.

The total number of casualties among soldiers from participating countries exceeded 2 million, the total number of civilian casualties exceeded 000 million, and the total number of casualties exceeded 3 million, 000% of which were white.

Following the Holy Emperor Taizu for many years, Xu Jinxun's strategic vision has greatly increased, and he is often able to consider things from a top-level international perspective and come up with some very interesting insights.

He smiled and replied;
“The Holy Emperor Taizu, as the saying goes, cannot be established without destruction!

If the Germans want to live a prosperous life, they must overturn the existing international order and the colonial world structure dominated by Britain, France, and Tang, in order to become a world leader.

The goal is ambitious but nearly impossible to achieve.

The Allied Powers far surpassed the Allied Powers military group in terms of population and geographical area. When facing a comprehensive blockade, the future of the Allied Powers military group was not promising. "

Richard sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, patted his legs gently with one hand, and said thoughtfully;

"Jin Xun's point of view is also the opinion of the current mainstream strategists in Britain, France and Tang Dynasty. After the "quick victory" goal of Germany's Schlieffen military plan collapsed, the war situation has entered a stage of confrontation.

If both sides are unable to break through the other side's trench defenses, the war will inevitably fall into a long-term war of attrition.

from this angle

The longer time passes, the smaller the Allies' chances of victory will be. This judgment is generally correct.

The only variable comes from our Datang Empire.

The combined forces of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, the German High Seas Fleet, and the Italian Navy had the strength to engage in a decisive naval battle with the British Royal Navy and the French Navy and break through the strategic blockade.

Of course, the premise for this is that the Tang Empire joins the Allied Powers camp.

Based on imperial interests, no options are ruled out.

at the current stage

What best suits the interests of the Tang Empire is the policy of neutrality. The British Royal Navy should be warned not to intercept Chinese merchant ships in the North Atlantic region at will, sending a tough signal.

With the current size of our Tang Empire, we have the full strength to say "no" to the British.

The Royal Navy of the Tang Empire should increase its efforts to develop a new generation of "super-dreadnought-class main battleships" and comprehensively promote the equipment of tanks, artillery and other new generation army weapons, which is an effective means to enhance strategic deterrence.

The full-scale outbreak of war in Europe is a major development opportunity for our Datang Empire.

Specifically, the huge wealth accumulated in Europe for hundreds of years will flow into North America at an accelerated pace. This will be a long-term process that will last for more than ten years.

All we have to do is accumulate huge amounts of debt during the war, mainly by issuing loans to Britain and France, to maximize the release of industrial potential and promote the rapid and stable development of the domestic economy.

In particular, the pharmaceutical, electronics, chemical and weapon equipment industries will be the focus of competition in the next few decades.

in related fields

Actively recruiting top talents from all over the world, helping them move to North American universities and research institutions, and creating a better living environment must be the core of the long-term science and technology strategy.

use this opportunity
Further promoting the in-depth development of Chinese civilization throughout the Americas, promoting the pan-Americanization of the Chinese language, and promoting the influence of Eastern culture on the Western Pacific region and even Europe are the main fulcrums of the country's strategic influence.

Only in this way, by maintaining strategic composure in the chaotic world structure and choosing the policy that best suits the interests of our Datang Empire, can we ensure the prosperous development of the empire in the next few decades.

Only a strong economic foundation, advanced military technology and a stable social environment can create a powerful empire.

domestically

On the one hand, we must focus on persistently introducing high-quality Chinese immigrants; on the other hand, we must vigorously promote ethnic integration; on the other hand, we must widely carry out five-year plus two-year basic education to improve the quality of the population.

In the field of culture and education, relevant government expenditures must maintain a certain growth rate and use sufficient financial resources to support national education for all and export Chinese culture.

As for the current European war, it is better to maintain a policy of neutrality. "

Xu Jinxun carefully recorded every word, thought about it, and asked;

“The Holy Emperor Taizu;
Kaiser Wilhelm II said: Today the world's heroes are only envoys and caoer.It's more about drawing a pie.

After the full-scale war broke out in Europe
The German overseas colonies were almost completely wiped out and divided up by Britain, France, Japan and other countries. How could Tang and Germany share the world? "Richard nodded and said;

“You’re right, this is a false proposition.

Even if the Germans defeated the Allied Powers alliance led by Britain, France and Russia in Europe, they could not even occupy France for a long time, so why not share the world?

Today's world
World colonial powers such as Britain, France, and Tang Dynasty, through decades or even centuries of hard work, not only had a homeland Britain, but also an overseas Britain.

The two complement each other, one is prosperous and both are prosperous, and the other is destructive to both.

The same is true for our Tang Empire. The South American vassals and overseas provinces are also an integral part of the empire.

Germany's strategic situation determines its basic policy, which is still to stay trapped in Europe.

The power that can be unleashed on the world and overseas colonies is extremely limited, and it is not something to be feared at all, and it is impossible to subvert the current international order.

William II was too impatient and launched too early. If it had been delayed 30 years, it would have been possible.

Now, even if the Ottoman Empire is added to the Allied camp, it will only delay the war for a while, and it will be difficult to shake the deep foundations of Britain, France and other countries. "

these words
It is a strategic plan for the future of the Tang Empire, which will be forwarded to the royal family and government of the Tang Empire for implementation through Xu Jinxun’s secret channels. It can be said to be the highest edict.

Although the Holy Emperor Taizu is far away from the royal family and the mainland of the empire, every word he speaks is the highest edict and will be implemented to the letter.

This is because the Holy Emperor Taizu is already the spiritual totem of the Tang Empire. He has countless fanatical admirers in the country, covering all walks of life in politics, economics, business, and the military, and he also has the broadest support among the people.

There was even a Holy Emperor sect in the military, which fanatically worshiped His Majesty the Holy Emperor Taizu as the only god walking in the world.

Particularly in families where three or even four generations of ancestors and grandchildren have served in the military, and in some families of military aristocrats, fanaticism is particularly prevalent.

Therefore, the supreme edict of the Holy Emperor Taizu can be implemented to the letter.

On the surface, it was a conversation between the Holy Emperor Taizu and Xu Jinxun. In fact, there were royal secretaries and imperial guard officers accompanying him who recorded daily notes.

Various measures were taken to ensure that the supreme edict of the Holy Emperor Taizu would not be misinterpreted.

this passage
It will be the core of the Tang Imperial government's policy in the next few years, especially on the major issues of war or peace, or which camp to join.

Until a clear edict from the Holy Emperor Taizu is obtained, the policy of neutrality will be maintained.

Actually

No matter whether it was the past, the present or the future, as long as he still has a breath, the Holy Emperor Taizu will always be the pillar of the Tang Empire and the helmsman who controls the direction of the empire. This is irreplaceable.

So what is the role of Tang Yezong, the third generation emperor of the Tang Empire?

This is easy to understand. Tang Yezong was the apparent head of the royal family of the Tang Empire. He had a major influence on various policies of the imperial government and was responsible for the image of the imperial royal family.

According to the royal rules set by the Holy Emperor Taizu;
The eight major funds under the Royal Household Office all have the right to operate independently. Every year, profits are invested in proportion to public welfare education, medical care, the Royal Guards and the repair and maintenance of palaces around the world.

The corresponding dividend portion is invested in the purchase and development of fixed assets in proportion every year, including long-term projects such as urban buildings, mines, oil fields, and docks, to achieve rolling development.

A certain proportion of dividend funds is withdrawn every year and invested in the Tang Dynasty Royal Family Fund, and 6% of the fund's interest is used to distribute the annual salary and benefits to the Tang Dynasty clan ministers.

Those Dukes, Marquises and other clan members who have not received fiefs can receive a generous salary every year to maintain a decent life.

In addition to the various vassal princes, the only prince in the Tang Empire today is the eldest son of Tang Yezong, Crown Prince Tang Li Mingsu, who was awarded the title of Prince Qin and the title of Earl of California.

The other lower-ranked first-generation princes of the Tang Dynasty are all dukes without a title, that is, hereditary descendants of third-level dukes. Many of them have now been demoted to the ranks of earls, and their annual salaries are also paid according to counts.

Relevant policies and regulations were personally formulated by the Holy Emperor Taizu, and their implementation was supervised by the Imperial Clan Association of the Imperial Household Affairs Office. If any of the clauses were to be changed, more than [-]% of the committee members must approve it.

And every committee member is a prince or duke of the royal family, and they are basically uncles of Tang Yezong.

Coupled with the checks and balances of the imperial government and parliament, the current emperor Tang Yezong is almost unable to change the policy of the Royal Fund and can only pass it on step by step.

The huge assets of the eight major funds are worth tens of billions of yuan, and their annual profit dividends are as high as hundreds of millions of yuan.

With so much money, Emperor Tang Yezong could actually use about 1/10 of it, and any more would violate the ancestral regulations.

No one can do it without the Holy Emperor Taizu opening his mouth.

Therefore, after launching successive wars to invade Mozambique and Brazil, the Tang Empire's royal family's finances actually experienced a deficit in the past two years, which needed to be solved through borrowing.

Mainly because nearly 8% of the generous dividends are deposited in the eight major funds, which continue to develop like a snowball.

The total amount of funds that Emperor Tang Yezong can use every year is only tens of millions. At the same time, there are still many expenses needed, and he cannot fully devote them to the war.

This is the characteristic of the Tang Empire

Every time a foreign colonial expansion war was launched, the imperial government and the royal family always shared financial expenditures, and the captured territories were also divided separately, with part of it belonging to the direct territory of the royal family.

No matter how it is divided, it is an indivisible territory of the Tang Empire, but the nature is different.

For some wars that the Tang royal family disapproved of, troops could be sent without funding. Then the consequences of the war would naturally be borne by the imperial government, and the benefits would also be obtained by the imperial government, and vice versa.
