West coast of the South Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Chile.

A sizable fleet is cleaving the waves and heading for the Strait of Magellan. They were the submarine formations, torpedo boats, and destroyer formations that had been ordered to advance toward the east coast of North America a month ago, followed by 10 supply ships.

The expeditionary force has reached Norfolk, and everyone believes that the expeditionary force will definitely be able to take the Hampton Rods port and the entire Norfolk district. The intention of cutting off and dividing the north and south of the United States from the land is truly realized.

The voyage of the fleet was not obscured, and the whole world knew about it. If Richmond had not been taken by the expeditionary force, this operation of the Chinese fleet could only be said to be ridiculous, the power of submarines is very powerful, and in the absence of sonar, submarines are simply bugs of ocean warfare! But it needs a strong supply capacity to support its combat effectiveness. Otherwise, it will rely on the fuel, torpedoes, food, and water carried by the submarine itself, and it will not be able to carry out long-term ocean-going operations under the current technical conditions!

In the end, it was the land expeditionary force that changed everything. Having taken a series of Jacobite estuary cities such as Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Newport News, the expeditionary force added a heavy weight to the scales of the North American war.

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord!" At the military meeting of the expeditionary force, Liu Xian slammed the whip on the map of North Carolina with one hand, and on the other side, his eyes scanned everyone again.

At this conference, Liu Xian wanted to carry out a major operation on the formation of the expeditionary force, and the three roads in the north and south became two roads, the north and the south, of which the north road was the main defense and the south road was the main attack. Because the United States still has a strong military force in the northern region. It may be difficult for them to meet the needs of the military, but the attrition of defensive operations is not one or two points smaller than that of offensive warfare. More than two million. Even if three million people organize a defense, it will be harder than pig iron.

If the expeditionary force gathers strength, it will really smash it with a hammer. Attacking at any cost, Liu Xian was able to take Washington, Philadelphia and even New York. But the sacrifice is too great. Liu Xian was unwilling to bury one of the most elite infantry in his hands in the battle of cities and defense lines again and again. Although Washington and Columbia stretches north to the Great Lakes Basin, this land is the essence of the entire United States, where 70 percent of the more than 50 million Americans live. Liu Xian was also reluctant to give up the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers!

In comparison, the South is much easier to take.

In particular, the next priority is North Carolina. The coastal plain covers 45% of the state's area, and most of it is gently undulating and well-drained. It was an important agricultural production area in the United States, and 100 years later it was one of the most populous states in the rural United States. At the beginning, because of Jordan and Charlotte Bobcat, Liu Siam was very interested in Charlotte and the state where it is located. Encyclopedia has also been conducted. But now his main and truest impression of North Carolina came from the gathering of information from the expeditionary force and former diplomats in the United States.

"The Southern states have a population of 15 million, and by eliminating them, we are once again cutting off 30 percent of the population base of Americans." The significance of this does not need to be said by Liu Xian.

"Wipe out all the southern states a year ago!"

Liu Xian didn't believe that after the southern states were gone, the Americans could still continue to fight with him.

In half a year, it is advantageous to be able to get out of the time of the US military in the north to 'recuperate', and this time can be exchanged for the entire southern part of the United States. The longer the fighting continued, the greater the burden felt at home, especially with the expeditionary force divided into three. When logistical supplies landed on the west coast, they had to be hammered several times before they could be sent to their respective units, and mistakes were inevitable during the process.

If there is another war with Washington. At that time, all supplies can be grouped together along the way, and the efficiency of logistics and transportation of the expeditionary force can also be greatly improved.

After this military meeting, Liu Xian left the front line. He came to North America nominally as a royal soldier, but he never intended to devote all his time and energy to the war. Turning the tide of the previous battle is one thing. Touring North America to see the lives of immigrants and the administration. It's the other hand.

The temperature in North America in summer is much lower than in Beijing, and Liu Xian has a feeling of escaping the heat. He's going to the Mississippi River, which is home to the largest number of Chinese immigrants. Of course, it is also the most fertile land in North America, which is the most suitable place for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.

Food is a top priority for any place of immigration. Only when there is enough food can we develop industry.

There are now more than half a million Chinese immigrants in the Mississippi River region, almost half of all immigrants in North America.

On the banks of the rippling Mississippi River, brand new villages have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. 100 households are a village, and 500,000 immigrants are more than 100,000 households, at least 1,000 villages.

Of course, these villages, which are filled with Chinese immigrants and incorporated into a dozen or twenty Native American households, and then joined by almost retired disabled soldiers, cannot all be brand new, and many of them also make use of the old old villages and towns. But in the future development, whether the village is still a village, and whether the town can still be a town, depends on their own creation.

There was still life and death ahead, and it had become very peaceful here. It's only been half a year since I heard gunfire!

The small village is very quiet, with not only farmland, but also large pastures. Those who are willing to immigrate to North America, regardless of whether they are young or old, men and women, have far more land than those who have immigrated to the Northeast, Lingwai and Great Northwest.

In today's immigrant villages, every household has four or five hundred acres of fields and pastures, and under the condition that agricultural machinery is not yet fully popularized, the cattle, sheep and horses raised by every household are not only the largest labor force for cultivating the fields, but also their manure is the largest source of fertilizer for the farmland. Together with the domestic soybean cake and struvite powder, these are the 'soil fertilizers' of China's industry today!

The world is not without modern fertilizers, around 1850, Rouse invented the first nitrogen fertilizer, and before that, potassium fertilizer appeared. However, due to technical reasons, there is no way to mass produce it at all. The Shijingshan Academy of Natural Sciences has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the research of ammonia synthesis method, but the results have been achieved!

The small village in front of you is called Guan Roadside, because it is close to an avenue along which you can directly lead to the ready-made.

A large number of people rushed from the avenue, and the village on the side of the official road immediately sounded the alarm.

The sense of resistance of the native Americans is very strong, and even in the Mississippi River area, such a large rear, out of the non-security zone that has been in the war for half a year, the bandits and horse bandits who rob and do evil everywhere have not been stopped. That's why Liu Xian arranged the veterans here, they may have been disabled, but they have combat experience, and the status of the soldiers in the hearts of the Chinese people is very lofty, that is, they have prestige. Many of the villages are now filled with veterans. Let them train the young immigrants on weekdays, and organize and direct battles when there is an incident, which can ensure the safety and interests of the migrant villages to a large extent.

The militia of Guanlubian Village was quickly assembled. But the village chief, who lost four fingers, didn't think that this group of people who came in a big way would be horse bandits and bandits, if there really were such a big operation of bandits of this scale, the news would have broken out a long time ago. The government has long been on guard against villages.

The village side of the official road soon rushed out with several horses. The leader was a man about thirty years old, running seven or eight hundred meters, standing on a small earthen hill on the side of the road outside the village, and the telescope in the man's hand finally saw who was coming. They all knew the few people who came out of that group, but they were the policemen in the town and the head of their township, Huang Bai.

They finally put their minds at ease, and a middle-aged man in the lead rolled off the horse and greeted with a loud smile: "Township Chief Huang, there is a long way to go." Forgive sins, forgive sins. ”

Huang Bai didn't have the heart to fight with the middle-aged man at this time, so he snorted and waved his hand to let the middle-aged man come closer. "How's the land in your village doing? Tell you, a big man has come to inspect it. If you get out of the basket, the county won't be able to hold it. Huang Bai didn't dare to leak Liu Xian's news without authorization, although Liu Xianam's face was not recognized by few people in China.

Sure enough, the militia and migrant villagers on the side of the official road immediately became excited when they saw Liu Xian. They all recognize that face. "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The shouts of excitement shook the waterfowl of the Mississippi River not far away.

"Let's get flat!" Liu Xian immediately shouted. He hasn't been to the court for a long time, and can the greetings of the officials be the same as the heartfelt greetings of the common people? Suddenly, I was a little more proud.

As I get older, I have been working for a long time, and my heart is becoming more and more 'pompous'.

He has three sons and two daughters, plus a pair of old men, a total of nine people, and replaced part of the field with grassland, and now there are 500 acres of land and 800 acres of grassland at home. People came early, and the land was a good land that didn't need to be picked up, and now the grain grown by his family had been ripe for a season, and several stubbles of melons, fruits and vegetables had grown, and they were all sold to the other side of the river. There are also more than 100 sheep, 20 cows, and more than 10 horses, and this year's income is a lot. If you don't follow us, you are still eating relief food, and you have to borrow money from the bank to buy seeds, farm tools, and livestock. "The village chief of Guanlubian Village is a veteran who has lost his right hand and his middle finger, index finger and thumb on his left hand. After being settled in North America on the spot, because of his disability and age and merit in the army, he was given a total of 380 acres of land, and he had an old mother and four wives and children in his family, but his mother came all the way to North America and followed his eldest brother at home, and his wife and children arrived on the side of the official road only two months ago, so there were 400 acres of land. As a veteran, he had an interest-free loan in the bank, and he had saved a sum of money with a military salary allowance and a share of the spoils of war, but unfortunately he had to run a piece of land the size of a farm, and he needed to buy too many belongings. Not only did the interest-free loan be fully loaned, but another 50,000 yuan was borrowed from the bank.

The subordinates are the standard losers! (To be continued......)
