The name Montana comes from Spanish and means "mountain". Historically, it was the 41st U.S. state to join the U.S. Union. The whole territory is highland, high mountains and deep valleys, with an average altitude of 1,000 meters, divided into east and west, and the western part accounts for one-third of the total area belongs to the Rocky Mountains, densely forested. To the east is part of the Great Plains on the back, and the gently undulating grounds are excellent pastures. Montana is rich in minerals, including extremely high reserves of copper, and the demand for copper has increased greatly after entering electrification, which is why the Imperial Cabinet wants the government of the North American emperor to intervene in Montana.
Now Montana is just a district of the United States, called Montana, which is actually the end of the westward expansion of the United States.
Originally, the North American emperor's domain was an independent or autonomous country in the form of a vassal state, but with the rapid development of communication technology in the seventies, this bill has not been mentioned, in fact, the common people living in the North American emperor's territory still retain the nostalgia of the Han people, and they will never allow themselves to be abandoned. Therefore, the affairs of the emperor's collar have been dragged on like this, operating in the form of autonomy.
After a series of wars between China and Britain, the Empire had in fact signed a treaty similar to not expanding eastward to open up colonies. But in fact, with the westward expansion of the Americans, the British seem to have some inextricable contradictions with the United States in North America, and the British are still stubbornly playing with their balanced policy.

Montana is the focal point of the conflict between China and the United States.
Historically, Montana officially joined the United States of America in 1889, but now in 1883, Montana has a population of more than 200,000, of which more than 80% are Chinese. And in fact, most of the current government in Montana are Chinese, you heard that the Chinese dominate in Montana, because the Chinese immigrants to Montana are all paid by the emperor to buy land in Montana and then distribute it to immigrants, which makes the ranchers and farmers in Montana almost all Chinese, and American immigrants can only enter the farm here as cowboys and hired laborers (the job is simple and the salary is not low, I think it's good). An important reason why the Americans are powerless to change such a structure is because the US Government knows very well that once they introduce any policy that is unfavorable to the Chinese, they will be rebuked and threatened by China with force.
The most important thing is that Montana is not nominally American territory, it should be considered Spanish at the earliest, then France, and now it is not British and belongs to terra nullius.
On Christmas Day 1882, the Montana District Council reluctantly passed the bill "On the Establishment of Montana to the United States of America", of course, this is a resolution of the District Council, in fact, there are not many Chinese in the District Council, and the Chinese generally lack enthusiasm and awareness of politics.
Originally, the country, including the emperor's government, felt that this was not important, anyway, the Chinese merchants had already controlled Montana's mining, animal husbandry and agriculture, and it didn't matter who Montana belonged to, but in fact, even Lin Hong underestimated the loyalty of Chinese immigrants, these Chinese living in Montana did not lack national pride, and they were not interested or happy to join the United States.
In 1883, on New Year's Day, the Chinese in Falls of Montana began to march, and for a time the entire Falls City entered a state of paralysis, and the Americans themselves were unlucky, in order to defend the so-called liberalism, when the state joined the American Union, the state itself had to hold a referendum, even if the district legislature passed the bill, but it was obvious that the public opinion could not be ignored! Otherwise, the signboard of the United States will fall.

The Montana Livestock Association and the Mining Consortium are behind all of this, and the two Chinese business groups do so because once Montana joins the United States as the 41st state, it will be difficult for them to ensure that their interests will be guaranteed. At present, the United States is generally propagating the theory of the China threat, and gentlemen do not stand under the wall. Of course, it is undeniable that there is another black hand behind the scenes, which is the National Liberal Party, a right-wing party led by the emperor of North America.
The National Liberal Party was born out of the Democratic Liberal Party in the empire (the other two parties are the Chinese Party and the Imperial Democratic Party), and its party is mainly composed of military veterans under the emperor's command, and the interest groups it supports are all large landowners and mine owners in North America, and the greed for land of these guys is self-evident. This party is an opposition party, and now it is the North American Kuomintang that is in power, which mainly represents the burghers and the capitalist class, and the ruling party is relatively moderate and is not an expansionist party in foreign affairs.
The enemy is far away, and the ghost knots the ball and picks up the lonely Kaoku
But the National Liberal Party has a strong market in North America, the Chinese are no worse than the Russians in their desire for land, and their rhetoric is very popular with the emperor and the common people, and the party's purpose and slogan is: "For the emperor!" For the nation! For the country! Go for everything. ”
It can be said that they are hardcore royalists and militarists, and this incident in Montana is the result of their operation. In fact, the original founders of this party were the radicals in the homeland army, who were transferred to North America to serve and retired from North America, and they trained young Zhuang in the army from the beginning, and after retirement, they formed a right-wing party. Lin Hong didn't care about this, the people in the army were not the thinking of the Young Zhuang faction, they didn't want to conquer the world, as long as they didn't commit issues of principle such as racial discrimination and massacres, Lin Hong and the cabinet government didn't care. The data for the triennial local state elections and the five-year all-state elections show that although the people agree with or like to listen to their words, the National Liberal Party will not hold more than 30% of the seats in the Emperor's Council. It clearly shows that the common people listen to what they say, enjoy themselves, and the North American people who pursue a comfortable life will not be stupid enough to really let this party come to power.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Americans are actually very confused about what Montana means right now. Don't dare to keep your mouth shut! China's historically tough performance in the international arena coupled with the strength to match it, the Americans really dare not eat Montana directly in this matter.
In recent years, the United States has also been sharpened in armament warfare, but his strength is not much, the total number of troops in the United States is more than 300,000, including the reserve and militia, and there are no more than 500,000, and the Imperial North American Standing Autonomous Army also has 270,000 militias with guns (the emperor is no longer a dominion, and the colonial army is changed to an autonomous army and militia), and the strength of the US Navy has also grown rapidly in recent years, and it is currently the sixth in the world.
In terms of army strength, the Imperial North American Autonomous Army is basically built to the standard of the native A division. Each division has 12,000 people, the second or third system is divided into two brigades and six regiments, there is no staff officer of the North American regional staff below the battalion level, the number of artillery has reached the battalion level, each battalion has its own artillery company, about three 70 mm howitzers and seven 35 mm mountain artillery, the whole division has a total of more than 200 guns, the largest of which is two 90 mm howitzers of the artillery regiment directly under the division, in terms of firepower, the autonomous army is not comparable to the militia army in the United States, the most important thing is that compared with the US army, each division of the autonomous army is equipped with its own direct airship brigade, ten 79-type free wind class big guys, and the United States basically did not have artillery balloons that could go to the sky. Of course, the US military is so bad now, not because he doesn't want to get better, but because of various factors in his country.
The closest to Montana is the 6th Division of the North American Autonomous Army stationed in Youcheng (now Butute, Montana, USA), which is also known as the "Gao Xiang Division" in the North American Autonomous Army because it often trains in the mountains and valleys.
