Chapter 138: The Battle of Oregon Begins
It can be seen from the official diplomatic documents sent by the Kingdom of Spain this time that the alliance between the Han Empire and Britain made Philip V of the Kingdom of Spain feel real fear!
Even if the Kingdom of Spain was repeatedly defeated in the colonies against the Han Empire, it was not worth Philip V to personally issue diplomatic documents, because he knew very well that the Han Empire in North America was just picking a good time, as long as the European countries stopped the war, a small Han Empire could not resist the armies of the European powers at all!
The premise is that the European powers did not support the existence of the Han Empire, and it is clear that the British smashed the imagination of Philip V for their own interests!
For this kind of winning war, Zhao Dutian has no interest in personally participating in it, and he is not going to travel!
How good it is in the palace in New Luoyang, there are enough luxuries for Zhao Dutian to enjoy, and there are a pair of sisters with different temperaments for Zhao Dutian to pop anytime and anywhere!
Of course, the commanders of the Eureka front are Wang Qiming and Paprov!
As mentioned before, the war logistics of this era have been greatly alleviated due to the construction of railways!
Zhao Dutian's decision to invest part of the previous war dividends against the Kingdom of Spain in the construction of the railway finally showed its due effect!
The role it should have in the war!
The construction of the railway line from New Luoyang to the front line of Eureka, even if only one railway is opened to traffic, has also enriched tens of thousands of Han Empire troops with supplies!
Wang Qiming and Paprov don't have to worry at all, the war will be fought and face the dilemma of insufficient ammunition, and there is also good news for the two of them is that the Kingdom of Spain has placed all the main forces here in order to maximize the use of the Eureka fortifications built over the years!
This is really great for Zhao Dutian, who wants to solve the Oregon problem once and for all!
――――
"Your Majesty the Emperor, it is hard to imagine how you have trained these ignorant and lazy Indians to look so industrious, do you know that we British have taken so many Indian prisoners, but they only know how to make trouble and rebel against the masters who gave them food and clothing, and never know how to work well!"
British Ambassador George Macartney, who stood side by side with Zhao Dutian on the high platform of the New Luoyang Railway Terminal, looked at the group of Indian coolies below who buried their heads in carrying boxes of materials into the iron wagons, and the scene of stable order and smooth efficiency, and sighed with heartfelt emotion.

Zhao Dutian listened to George Macartney's exclamation, and felt that he had not brought this British minister over in vain on this trip!
Since Zhao Dutian wants to make the powerful Britain pay attention to himself, he naturally has to put on a valuable appearance, and the prosperous scenes in New Luoyang will not give George Macartney any touch, because no matter how prosperous the market is, it will have little impact on the military aspect of comprehensive national strength.
What's more, the population and market of New Luoyang, which is the appearance of a medium-sized city in the United Kingdom, cannot arouse the interest of George Macartney in the slightest!
However, the strict and efficient logistical mobilization capacity on the railway transportation line is different!
In the eyes of George Macartney, the gap between the Han Empire's logistics and material mobilization capabilities and that of the British is not too big!
From the distribution of orders by the logistics department at the highest level, to the final execution stage, George Macartney, under the leadership of Zhao Dutian, visited the whole process, allowing George Macartney to see a pair of material deployment capabilities of European powers!
What shocked George Macartney the most was that a large part of this efficiency was carried out by the once backward and barbaric Indian tribes!
George Macartney had long known the right population composition of the Han Empire, the dominant Han population was not the main body of the Han Empire, and these industrialization processes were also completed under the leadership of the Han people.
It's a pity that the facts are in front of us, this dictatorial empire where a few people rule over the majority is perfect for everyone to honestly act as a 'part' for the empire's foreign wars and development!
This had to shock Georges Macartney, who knew that after this visit, he would report a lot of information when he returned!
Zhao Dutian responded with a smile: "Ambassador George Macartney, these tribesmen of other Indian tribes are indeed as unruly as you said, but we Han people are different from you British, we live in this land, and there is not much separation between us and those Indian tribes, which makes our integration a prerequisite."
Coupled with the brocade guards I set up, the order of the empire will naturally be guaranteed! ”
George Macartney followed the direction of Zhao Dutian's finger and saw people patrolling around the station from time to time, wearing blue embroidered brocade clothes, skullcaps, waist knives and flintlock handcuffs around their waists, constantly scanning the Indian coolies who were working, nodded thoughtfully:
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you are the emperor I have ever seen who uses 'spy politics' most frequently, yes, this way can indeed make the orders of the upper echelons better issued, but this will also make people at other levels of the country feel afraid, in Britain, anyone who dares to allow these similar spies to arrest people everywhere in defiance of the law on the street, will definitely be ousted by Parliament!"
"Haha, I know, not only Britain, even Prussia and other countries where the king has great power, those kings don't dare to let their people ignore the law everywhere to monitor and arrest, which will make those nobles and ministers feel insecure, however, in the Han Empire, except for me, others only need to retain loyalty, the sense of security, only in the hands of a few people, the power of the empire will really be cohesive, what I advocate is order and iron blood, and other unnecessary things, Not in my eyes, and of course, my ideas will only be enforced in Indian society! ”
Zhao Dutian smiled lightly.
George Macartney complimented Zhao Dutian a few words, but his psychology was not impressed, he firmly believed that with the development of the times, the independence and dictatorship will be replaced by the majority parliamentary system, after all, a person's energy is limited, how can he go further than the country led by the majority?!
However, George Macartney is not here to debate political concepts with Zhao Dutian, and he is not qualified to do so, he is just here to understand the value of the Han Empire and report truthfully to the British cabinet government!
