In the 19th century, it took about 1 month for the fastest steamship to travel from Europe to North America.

Humanity has opened up the oceans and united the world, but it is far from "conquering".

The opening of the Atlantic telegraph line shortened the communication time from Europe to North America to "hours", but for a long time in the future, this line will be the exclusive domain of the powerful, and there is still a long way to go before it is universalized.

Electrification is not achieved overnight, and the development of technology can overtake in corners, but it cannot be directly crossed.

This is the reason why the turtledove knows the future direction of science and technology, but still allows the Americans to focus on the steam industry.

He even knew that the U235 could be used to make nuclear weapons, but at the level of the Americans, he could not even build a measuring tool with a weighing accuracy of "micrograms".

Without a solid industrial base, everything is just a flash in the pan.

And all the turtledove can do is to suppress his anxiety and wait patiently.

It's like waiting for your child to grow up, watching him step on a pit, watching him fall, watching him repeat his mistakes, watching him be tortured all over his body, watching him experience beatings, bullying, illness, depression, ......

All the turtledove can do is wait patiently.

In the midst of all the bad news day by day, in the deep darkness where everyone thought that there was no hope, in the doubts of some "wise men" who suspected that they were even going in the wrong direction......

Boiling is the only correct answer!

***

The United States and the Russian envoys were eye-wry, and even a U.S. warship docked in Alaska, and the two sides signed a memorandum of "friendship and cooperation";

In the south, the rebellion in Pueblo intensified and began to spread in all directions. Some newspapers even carried the slogan "Second Indian Independence Movement";

The Missouri River defense line has been tug-of-war back and forth, forming a war zone with dogs and teeth. Not long ago, even White Rock City was threatened, but when the rainy season came, the watermill dug the levees of the upper Missouri River, forming a large floodplain along the Missouri River, preventing the reinforcement of American troops;

The effects of the crop failure were not resolved, but the Lorchen Industries and the Rio Grande Transport Company took advantage of the rising grain prices to make a fortune;

[In view of the general environment,

The immigrants had initial results, and the East Indians from across the Pacific had a sense of belonging to the American country that was basically equal to zero, and they built Confucian temples here to worship Guan Gong, almost self-contained;

As for the bad news in other aspects, it is also coming in one after another.

Another epidemic in Arapahoe, bandits in Shoshone, a judge in Utah sentenced a gourd to eucalyptus, another earthquake in Chenuk......

……

In the eyes of Xiao Andre and other young Zhuang factions, turtledoves have gradually developed towards a faint king.

If it weren't for his still sharp eyes and clear thinking, little Andre would have wanted to take the Supervisory Committee to a bloody admonition - of course, this is an exaggeration, but little Andre did kneel in front of the turtledove and begged him to deal with a group of people by thunderous means, and was prevaricated by the turtledove.

Turtledove now has several more entertainment items in his schedule, and there are music and performances every weekend.

As the saying goes, "whatever the big people like, the little people will inevitably double upside down", Shiraishi set up a song and dance troupe, and Ikaruga also choreographed the dance for them.

With a song and dance troupe, there must always be a place to dance, so a large theater was built in White Rock City.

America was already financially constrained, and now it has raised more than 100 musicians and dancers who are not in production, but only Yiyiya.

Even the newspapers in White Rock City occasionally publish news of their performances.

The most recent play is called "The Little Mermaid", which is said to be a script written by Turtledove himself

The actor personally selected by Shechen Tafari - little Andrei can't appreciate it anyway!

On the contrary, the human cotton machines on the plantation are happy to dance, and they think that as long as they work hard to pick cotton, sooner or later, they will meet their "Ariel"!

……

Turtledove also indulged his brother-in-law, the fellow named Crazy Horse, to enclose a large hunting ground on the southern side of Mount Braak and hunt every day for pleasure.

Sometimes the turtledove will also participate in person, and often once they go in for a day, they don't do anything serious.

Crazy Horse also screened a lot of teenagers of his age to accompany him to hunt, and he didn't do anything all day, just hunting.

The data that Little Andre got from other sources was that there was at least a hunting team of 500 people playing in it, and the amount of money reported by the Finance Department every month was even fifteen dollars!

That hunting team is not yet subject to the laws and regulations of the state, and there is a hunting team teenager who openly kills people with a knife on the street, and he has already been imprisoned, but in the end he was "amnesty" by the turtledove!

Crazy Horse is even more arrogant!

The Wildfire Chief of Choctaw came to White Rock to report on his duties, but because he didn't have a full toast of turtledoves at the banquet, Crazy Horse crossed the table and invited him to fight, taking off his head in front of everyone.

In the end, he was only punished with a flogging.

Even the veterans of the watermill and the sea were dissatisfied with this person, and faintly squeezed out.

But it's still as arrogant as ever.

Relying on the fact that he has a favored princess sister, he doesn't take anyone seriously.

……

At the end of the year, Scalp's plot in Europe to cede the island of Loczen to the French suddenly leaked out, causing even more turmoil.

The land that the Amerians took with a knife and a shot was ceded out like this?

And France gave America less than 2 million francs in compensation?

Many of the Americans spontaneously gathered in the steel squares of White Rock City to beg the turtledove to take back his fate.

An agitated American pawn even crashed to his death under the giant grenade sculpture in the Steel Square, and the blood stained the handle of the grenade red.

Faced with the wishes of the people, Ikaruga turned a deaf ear and only ordered the officials in charge of law and order to expel them.

The songs of the White Rock City Theater are sung and danced.

All of a sudden, public opinion was surging.

At the end of the year, the Blood Wolf led the Shulotel Legion to withdraw from Loczen Island, and the cession of Loczen Island was a foregone conclusion in the opposition of almost everyone.

Since returning to White Rock City, the Blood Wolf has voluntarily resigned from his position as the commander of the Shulotel Legion, and has expressed silent resistance to the turtledove's actions.

On the same day, Arvada Jankulovsky resigned from the Planning Commission and was demoted to the post of governor of the Pacific Chumaz Special Administrative Region.

……

In 1852, in the midst of an unprecedented snowfall in White Rock.

The first five-year plan of the American Republic ended in such a jump.

In the New Year's newspapers, in addition to the news of the start of the second five-year plan announced by Ikaruga, there was a message about the complete and unconditional strategic alliance of the American state with the French Empire.

In distant Europe, the combined Anglo-French fleet sailed into the Sinop seaport......

In Washington to the east, Zachary Taylor announced re-election, and the losing James Polke decided to reshuffle the Democratic Party......
