Richard sighed softly, put down the American newspaper in his hand, thought about it, and adjusted the angle of the newspaper slightly.

So that when Colonel Harry Fragech arrives to accept his new appointment, it will be easier to see the contents of the newspaper.

Truth be told, Richard could only help so much.

What kind of magical chemistry can occur when a trusted new appointment and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe in Ireland come together to violently impact Colonel Harry Freitsch's worldview?

The "Irish potato crisis" was undoubtedly a complete disaster, which, combined with man-made disasters, turned this once beautiful island into a living hell.

In a hostile relationship, it is inevitable that American newspapers will add oil and vinegar to some artistic processing, and Richard is a little sad to see it, let alone Colonel Harry Fledge, who is of Irish descent?

Soon

Colonel Liu Wu knocked lightly on the door, and then led Colonel Harry Fredge, who was in full uniform, and bowed respectfully.

"Excuse me, come and sit down." Richard beckoned kindly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Colonel Harry Fletsch came and sat down, his upper body straight, maintaining a rigorous military posture.

"Harry, what do you think of Peel City's role?" Richard asked.

Colonel Harry Flage replied with a grim look on his face, after some careful consideration;

"Your Majesty;

Peel City is located in the center of the northwestern states, occupying this place, and the distance to the northwestern states is about the same, three or four hundred kilometers as near, and six or seven hundred kilometers as far away.

South Dakota is bordered to the east by Minnesota and Iowa, Nebraska to the south, Colorado to the southwest, Wyoming to the west, Montana to the northwest, and North Dakota to the north.

Geographically, this is the place where the keys to the Northwest states are held, and it is also the core place.

We're stealing;

His Majesty built the road from Phoenix City to Peel City and the long-distance telegraph line, and intended to cultivate this place as a bridgehead in the north of the Tang Kingdom, which is of no less strategic and military significance than Phoenix Castle.

As the two fulcrums of the frontier construction of the Tang Kingdom, Phoenix Castle and Peel City, one in the east and the other in the north, echo each other and achieve each other, which is of great significance.

So-called; It is difficult to support alone, and the lonely shade does not grow.

In this world, as long as you give up your blood to attack, there is no fortress that cannot be breached.

The fact that the United States still chooses military adventures despite repeated setbacks shows that they must be beaten and frightened before they can obediently sit at the negotiating table.

The military presence in Peel City allows the United States to see the real threat in front of it, rather than always thinking about the Phoenix Castle on the other side of the desert Gobi.

In a way, Peel City is a big hit for the United States because of its proximity to the industrial center of gravity of the Great Lakes.

Wechen suggested that the construction of Peel City should be intensified, the construction of a railroad from Phoenix to Peel City, the construction of fortress walls and military fortresses, and the stationing of fire prevention spear troops.

So

It will change the situation in which Peel City unilaterally relies on the superiority of cavalry, and form a situation in which the musketeers rely on the city walls for defense, and the cavalry fights on the periphery with mobility and flexibility.

At that time, even if the U.S. army gathers 100,000 troops to attack, it may not be able to conquer this grassland city.

Peel City is as stable as a rock, and Phoenix Castle is safe, this is a one-two, two-and-one relationship. ”

Colonel Harry Fletsch's heartfelt analysis was approved by Richard, who spoke with satisfaction;

"It makes sense that Peel City is indeed an important chess piece in the north, and it is reasonable to strengthen the construction of Peel City in the future if conditions permit.

But you see, we won't be able to meet this condition in two or three years.

In terms of military power;

It is an indisputable fact that the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom is strong and the infantry is weak.

We don't have the ability to gather 8~100,000 troops at once, so the infantry can only take a defensive position, and the cavalry can take an offensive.

This means that the war between the United States and the United States tends to become protracted and serious, and it is not a temporary dispute.

When the strength of the Tang Kingdom did not reach the point where the enemy was outside the country, the United States was not passively beaten, but had the strength to attack us, and Phoenix Castle was the first target to be attacked.

According to the latest reports;

The United States plans to launch an unprecedented third expedition to the west in April ~ May, with no less than 70,000 troops, and there may be a steady stream of reinforcements in the future.

This is the most severe test that Phoenix Castle has faced, and it is also the most serious war test since the establishment of the Tang Kingdom.

At this critical time, I need someone I can trust to guard Peel City, and that person is you......"

"Your Majesty, you have entrusted me with the burden of ten thousand pounds, and Weichen is willing to serve the dead." Colonel Harry Fletsch stood up excitedly, clasped his hands into fists and saluted.

Richard stood up, took a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said; "In order to guard against the Peel City garrison, the Americans stationed more than 40,000 men on the line from Chicago, Davenport to Iowa, and had a considerable number of cavalry to make up for the holes in the defense."

Speaking of which

A sneer appeared on Richard's face, and he looked at Colonel Harry Flage and Colonel Liu Wu with a sharp gaze, and ordered in a deep voice;

"This King's Decree;

Colonel Harry Fletsch was appointed Commander of the Defense of Peel City, promoted to the rank of Brigadier General, and concurrently served as Commander of the Northern Cavalry Corps.

Colonel Liu Wu was appointed to the post of deputy commander of the Northern Cavalry Corps, and he took office immediately.

The Northern Army's duty was to take the initiative while defending Peel City, mobilizing a wide range of U.S. troops stationed in Chicago to annihilate and weaken the enemy in a campaign of movement.

As soon as the war broke out

The king allowed you to attack and occupy the cities and towns in the hinterland of the Five Great Lakes region, carry out military sabotage, tear down railroad lines, threaten and attack the hoarding of baggage warehouses around Kansas City, and attack the American logistics center with all his might.

If necessary, Peel City can be abandoned.

The king authorized Er and others to have the right to expand the army with no more than 5,000 people, to be the king's pioneer, and to be rewarded for meritorious service after the victory of the war, and to be added to the rank of knight.

Brigadier General Harry, Colonel Liu Wu, this king awaits the good news of your victory in Phoenix. ”

"Weichen obeys the order and is willing to die for His Majesty." Brigadier General Harry Freezie and Colonel Liu Wu clasped their fists together and replied in a sonorous voice.

Even with a high level of trust, Richard will not completely delegate power, but maintain a situation in which Brigadier General Harry Frasch and his confidant Colonel Liu Wu check each other.

Colonel Liu Wu was appointed deputy commander of the Northern Cavalry Corps, and more than a dozen henchmen were to be taken from the cuirassier regiment of the royal family guard.

Respectively placed into the Northern Cavalry Corps as the military commander of each cavalry regiment, plus the previous more than 220 grassroots officers, as an old commander, Colonel Liu Wu can be said to have undoubted control over the Northern Cavalry Corps.

The human heart is unpredictable

With such an important command of an army, Richard could not have pinned his hopes on the so-called loyalty, but instead checked each other in the system and achieved a delicate balance.

For example, in order to meet the needs of expanding the war, the Northern Army was authorized to expand the size of the army by 5,000 people, and the command of this part of the white army was in the hands of Colonel Liu Wu.

Brigadier General Harry Fletsch could not have led the Chinese cavalry of the Northern Army to surrender to the Yankees, and the Chinese officers from top to bottom would not agree, let alone blindly obey.

As His Majesty's confidant, Colonel Liu Wu's command of the White Army's military is a powerful means of checks and balances.

Brigadier General Harry Fletsch received the order with joy, bowed down and saluted with fists, and when he lowered his head, his eyes naturally saw the American newspaper on the coffee table.

The eye-catching and dazzling title of that line was heart-wrenching, and he instantly fell into an ice cellar, and when he raised his head, his face was already a little pale, and he said in a slightly trembling voice; "Your Majesty, these newspapers ......"

"Oh, you mean......" Richard followed his gaze to the newspaper, and after a moment of astonishment, he suddenly realized, and said gently; Harry, the Great Famine in Ireland has been going on for the fourth year, and that's not news anymore. A daily collection of expired American newspapers will reveal what is going on there. It's a complete tragedy, but there's nothing we can do to change it......"

"Your Majesty, can you reward me with these newspapers?"

"Mexicans often lament after their defeat that they are too far from God and too close to the Americans. The Irish problem has been going on for hundreds of years, so why not? A lot of times we can't change anything. ”

"Your Majesty, as a white Irish descent, I have often used this reason to anesthetize myself, but this ......," said Brigadier General Harry Fretsch, pointing to the eye-catching headline of the newspaper with trembling eyes, and tears filled his eyes; I...... I can't accept it! ”

The headline in the newspaper was;

In 1847, Ireland's population plummeted.

This is indeed the style of American newspapers that are not shocking and swearing, and in the eyes of Irish descendants, behind every line of words are stained with blood and tears, endless national lamentations, how can the word "miserable" be.

Richard reluctantly picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and handed it to him, and Brigadier Harry Fratsch took it with trembling hands.

See this scenario

Richard persuaded gently; "Harry, the Tang Kingdom welcomes all Irish people who are willing to come and develop, and they will enjoy equal treatment here, which is my solemn promise. But before that, we must help the Tang Kingdom survive the crisis of American aggression and ensure the country's independence. You need to focus now on the task at hand and fulfilling the divine mission that the Kingdom has given you. ”

"Please rest assured that Harry Fletcher will faithfully perform his duties and do his best to share the frontal military pressure facing Phoenix Castle, and he will not regret it, even if he becomes a bloodthirsty maniac hated by the Americans!"

Looking at General Harry Fletsch's determined eyes, Richard's words of continued persuasion stayed in his throat, opened his mouth and closed it again, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said; "How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? I'm sure you'll get through it. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Brigadier General Harry Fredge and Colonel Liu Wu left one after the other, Richard touched his nose helplessly, feeling that he had gone too far?

The Tang Kingdom did provide a way for the Irish to survive, provided that they could withstand this large-scale military attack by the United States.

As long as he cares about his people, Brigadier General Ali Fletsch will serve his life. As he said, "Even if I become a bloodthirsty maniac hated by Americans, I have no regrets!" ”

The Tang Kingdom still welcomes white Irish immigrants, who have proficient English skills, can more easily learn advanced Western culture, physics, medicine, chemistry and geography, bring different Western architectural and educational concepts, and have traditional crafts from winemaking, iron-making to shoe-making, etc., which are a useful supplement to society.

These Irish could never pee in the same pot as the British, and because of the trauma of the Sino-American war, it was impossible to play with the Americans, which was one of the useful pieces of the puzzle of the Richard multi-ethnic state.

With the small size of the Scottish nation, it is completely unable to occupy the mainstream in the tide of immigration.

From any point of view, the Tang Kingdom is a winner.

But what does this ploy say?

It was indeed a bit of a gloomy, Richard could only use newspapers and I didn't write them, the Great Famine in Ireland had nothing to do with me, I was just a porter of newspapers to comfort myself.

The war is about to break out, he must immediately return to Phoenix Castle to take charge of it himself, the outer battlefield of Peel City needs a resourceful general to lead the battle, everything is a last resort!
