January 1, 1863, was the day the Emancipation Proclamation came into force. In order to preserve the unity of the Union, the proclamation effectively emancipated only black slaves from the slave-owning states occupied by the North. In real history, this text has an iconic significance, winning the support of international public opinion for the North (mainly the British) and for the army to win fugitive black slaves as soldiers, a process that some consider to be a turning point in the Civil War.

However, the reality at this time was that California had been occupied by the East India Company's shining army in the south, north, and east directions, and the San Francisco metropolitan area was under siege, and military supplies were in dire straits. To make matters worse, the South has adopted a 12-hour slave workday, a holiday a week, and a strong injection of $80 million, and while the North advertises their humanitarian work for the slaves, the South boasts that their slaves enjoy even better working conditions than most white workers in the North.

Although the southern slave owners were stubborn, they respected the law, and since the 12-hour work week was introduced, they really implemented it, and the living conditions of the black slaves were greatly improved. As a result, there were far fewer black slaves escaping than in real history. The slave states of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and West Virginia, loyal to the Union, were unhappy with their depreciating assets, as calls for the abolition of slavery as a whole were growing in the Federation, and their black slaves were likely to be unconditionally freed overnight. As a result, many legislators in these states are plotting to defect to the South. The unity of the Federation is being seriously challenged.

Because of the smooth passage of sea routes, war materials were constantly replenished, and the southern army became more and more courageous as they fought, and troops from the theater of war continued to enter the northern states, which made the financial market in the north even more turbulent. The fall of California was seen as a turning point in the war against the Northern Army, which mobilized 100,000 troops and corresponding logistical forces for this purpose, thus weakening the remaining theaters.

The Emancipation Proclamation also came into force around the same time as the Homestead Act. In order to take advantage of the large amount of undeveloped state-owned land in the western United States, as early as 1860, the United States Congress passed this bill, stipulating that American citizens can obtain up to 160 acres of western land cultivation rights at a very low price or even free of charge, and officially own the property rights after cultivating the authorized land for five years.

Because Southern slave owners wanted the bill to be open to slave owners, the Democratic Party, representing Southern interests, blocked the bill, and in 1860 President Buchanan, then the Democratic Party, used the president's veto. Now, finally, under Lincoln's audacity, the Homestead Act has come into effect. These land-gotten farmers will be loyal supporters of the northern government, even against unfathomable super-multinational conglomerates. These peasant uncles who cultivate their own crops abhor slavery, and you think, where does it make sense that they work hard and the other party uses slaves to work? Can they compete with the slave owners' estates at such a high cost?

The military morale of the slave states has been shaken, while the free states have become more united, and the competition between the United States and the Windsor consortium is still not over. (For the latest chapters, please visit wèn)

When the East India Company's army, dominated by Japanese samurai, appeared in California, the United States shared its combat experience with NATO member states, and the most shocked were the Russians, because they had a direct conflict with the Japanese army in the Far East. The Russians, who originally wanted to attack the army of Seng Lingqin south of Heilongjiang, immediately stopped and took the initiative to negotiate peace with the Mongol cavalry that had seized the three eastern provinces, hoping that the other side would become a blocker for the Qing troops to move north, while they themselves did their best to guard against the Japanese army that might land at Vladivostok.

The Russian army is overthinking about this, Tangning's strategy is that the Japanese army runs the American battlefield, and the Qing army passes through the East Asian theater, and will not take an offensive posture for a long time, because the transportation is inconvenient, and it is not easy to send war materials to the battlefield. Once the entire interprovincial trunk line of the Qing Dynasty was opened to trains, the good days of polar bears came to an end. Even a civilized country as the United States will be torn apart, and aggressive Russia will definitely be divided in Downing's calculations.

As for Seng Lingqin's troops, because they have lost the ammunition supply of the Desert Eagle, they have recently neglected their training, and they will no longer be troubled, and they will try to do it after the ethnic minorities in Gansu and Shaanxi have cleaned up. Tang Ning did not even intend to ruthlessly clean up the rebels in the three eastern provinces, and was considering giving the three eastern provinces great autonomy, which was real autonomy, not just the name of "autonomous region". For a consortium, the greatest interest is to make capitalism more than nationalism, and if you want to unify countries like Russia, the United States, and the Qing Dynasty with superpower potential, it is very detrimental to the security of the consortium. Therefore, making the world fragmented is the direction of Tang Ning's efforts, and he will not make the Qing Dynasty too strong.

In order to test the loyalty of Shi Dakai and Li Xiucheng again, the imperial court ordered the two to take military airships to Beijing to complain about their duties, and both of them went hard, and the result was that the imperial court was very satisfied, and once again increased the number of FN-1855 rifles of the two units, each of which reached the level of 10,000 FN-1855, supplemented by 200 mortars, and its combat effectiveness has reached the offensive level. The shape of the Russians on the Eastern Front is getting worse and worse.

The Russians, who had been leaking overnight, were also in crisis on the Western Front, and Poland rebelled. The countries that were ruled by foreign races hated the most were forcibly conscripted, just like the Italians hated France during the Napoleon Great, just like the Qin State after the great unification of the Great Army, the young people of Poland hated to die to help the Russian Empire, which had nothing to do with them, so they became strong. Inspired by this group of young Polishes, high-ranking politicians from Poland and Lithuania joined in.

Downing immediately approached the Danes to discuss military assistance to Poland. Why look for a Dane? Because they have just passed the new constitution, which will be implemented in Schleswig-Holstein. The southern part of the Schleswig-Holstein region was home to a large number of Germans, and Bismarck took the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with Denmark, and the deterioration of relations between the two countries was the perfect time for the Windsor consortium to draw the Danes into the WTO camp.

Downing proposed to the Danish king: "Prussia has not yet joined the war with the WTO countries, and the purpose is very clear, that is, to put forward the rights and interests of Schleswig-Holstein to Denmark, and now the time has come for Denmark to make a choice, either to stand on my side, to take advantage of the Polish January uprising to give strong support to the rebel army, in order to contain Russian power, and the East India Company will give back to help Schleswig-Holstein when it is coveted by Prussia." ”

The Danish king replied: "It is the season of sea ice, and the Baltic Sea is no longer navigable, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to help the Polish rebels." ”

Downing: "We're going to build icebreakers that can break through the ice, all aid ships going to Poland fly the East India Company flag, and Denmark can maintain the illusion of neutrality until the Prussians are in trouble." ”

The Danish king thought to himself, "This is the best", so a gentleman's agreement was reached, and Denmark allowed the East India Company's supply fleet to transit, but did not personally participate in it. At this time, the Scandinavian countries were very friendly with each other, and Sweden and Downing also had good relations. In the end, Denmark and Sweden both expressed their willingness to lend to the East India Company, and warships and other war resources could be used in the ports of both countries.

After the icebreaker was not successfully built, the East India Company used hovercraft to support Poland and Lithuania, which was used by the British to land as early as Downing planned in the Second Anglo-Chinese War, but later the British did not let him be the commander of the expeditionary force, so he had no chance to appear, and there was a chance to appear in the Battle of Hawaii, but the enemy surrendered, and there was no chance to fight, so far no one knows the existence of this black technology.

This is a high-speed boat that uses a high-power blower to drive into the bottom of the ship to reduce navigation resistance, and can "fly" close to the ground on ice and water, with a speed of up to 80 kilometers and a carrying capacity of up to 9 tons, or about 80 passengers.

The airship began to reconnoiter the seaport cities of the rebel countries such as Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, and liaise with the leaders of the three countries in London. These leaders are divided into two factions, one red and the other white. Red is the vanguard of the uprising, representing peasants, proletarians, and white represents enlightened landlords, intellectuals, etc.

The Red faction and the White faction had a division that was difficult to bridge, because the former wanted to give the peasants land free of charge in the process of abolishing serfdom, while the latter wanted the landlords to receive some compensation. Downing's House of Lords and House of Commons were separated, and the old rule of separation of property rights and human rights was just right for the mediation of conflicts between them, and he was the most prestigious mediator, because past history has proved that Downing's actions and policies were consistent.

This qiē system has one premise, to defeat the Russian imperialist invaders. The three parties reached an understanding, and after the completion of the ** war, Downing acted as a mediator and then formulated a constitution to settle the dispute, and in the ** war, the East India Company was given command of the rebel army. This is tantamount to sending guns and artillery, and the rebel army is sending people, which has brought great trouble to Russia. The Baltic Sea Battlefield has officially begun.

Considering that the Russians in Poland were probably 10 times as strong as the rebels, Downing decided to give them the FN-1855 and directed the rebels to gather in the port city, where the hovercraft could deliver a steady stream of supplies as long as they gained a foothold along the Baltic coast, and set up 6-inch cannons on the hovercraft to provide heavy fire support to friendly forces. The Russians thought that the East India Company would send snowmobiles to the war at most, and when they saw the big guy flying on the ice, they were dumbfounded for a while, and they played black technology again.

The 6-inch guns of the hovercraft caused huge casualties to the Russian army, and a team of Russian troops wanted to desperately grab a hovercraft to go back to study, and the precedent of the Americans desperately salvaging the King-class cruiser gave them a good reason, only to find out that the weapons on the hovercraft seemed to be a good thing that had never been seen before, and it could actually fire three times in a row! Yes, in order to protect the hovercraft, these elite units were equipped with Black Contractor rifles for the first time, assault rifles with 50 rounds in a magazine without throwing shells, and fired an unprecedented single intensive shot at the Russian death squads that came to them.

The poor gray cattle of the Russian army slipped step by step on the ice, and they were greeted by the iconic "Tututu" triple attack, which was distributed so that the Russian army that slipped under their feet was difficult to spare.

In order to take care of the insurgents' Baltic Sea coast, which is no more than 300 kilometers away, airships can reach any point within three hours to provide air intelligence support, and hovercraft can provide heavy fire support within four or five hours.

Bismarck, the treacherous minister, thought that the later Prussia entered the war, the more profitable it would be, and who knew what other magic weapons the East India Company had? Look, heavy cruisers were exposed in the Battle of Suez, mortars were spotted in the Battle of California, and "ice boats" were exposed in the Baltic theater. However, now that they have all hit the doorstep, it will be impossible to say if they don't make a move, and the Russians have repeatedly urged Prussia: Brother, it's time to play!

The traitor had no choice but to reluctantly agree, and he also wanted to win over Austria, and said to the Austrian emperor, "Look, our German people are being treated unfairly by the Danes in Schleswig-Holstein, so let's fight Denmark together and annex Schleswig-Holstein together." （http:／／.）。 Austria disagreed at first, but said sinisterly: "If you don't come now, don't blame no one for helping you when Italy wants to take back Venice in the future, only NATO can help you now." ”

The Austrian emperor was shocked, believing that the treacherous words were reasonable, put aside the friendship with the Italian emperor, and together with Prussia, at the Frankfurt Conference of the German Confederation, passed the resolution of armed intervention in Schleswig-Holstein, and even expelled Luxembourg from the German Confederation.

At the behest of Bismarck, the German Confederation issued a 72-hour ultimatum to Denmark that the East India Company's ships must be stopped immediately from passing through the Baltic Sea, or war would be waged.

Denmark really didn't expect Prussia to do what he said, and the king was busy convincing Sweden and Britain to help, and did not respond within 72 hours. As a result, the German-Danish War broke out.
