The American boss built a fortress in the Hugo Oasis with great fanfare, stationed heavy troops, and faintly formed a confrontation with the Tang Kingdom, and its strategic intention was very clear.

As long as the Hugo Fortress exists for one day, the security of the Central Great Plains of the United States can be guaranteed, and it is impossible for the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom to cross the Hugo Fortress and penetrate deep into the densely populated Central Great Plains, which is an insurmountable security barrier, and the enemy is thousands of miles away.

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended.

Take a look at the tragic experiences of the northwestern states of the United States and the Great Lakes region, which have been beaten like a sieve by the cavalry corps of the northern front of the Tang Kingdom, coming and going unscrupulously, killing people everywhere and setting fires, burning farmland in villages and towns, digging railways, blowing up bridges, and wailing everywhere they passed.

No way

Most of the American towns in the plains don't have decent defenses, so how can so many towns be able to defend themselves?

If they all build a wall, how much money do you have to invest?

American towns are generally very large because of their vast and sparsely populated areas, and they are like spreading a pie from a long distance, and it is not cost-effective to build walls and forts in any way.

Generally speaking, the United States always built some wooden fences at the intersection of the town and sent some townspeople and militia to guard it, which could only deal with small groups of rogue bandits.

Against the regular cavalry army of the Tang Kingdom, opening the gate and surrendering obediently is the only right choice, otherwise, destroying the village and slaughtering the town is not fun, it is a tragedy that has happened countless times.

It is precisely because of this that the Northern Front Cavalry Corps of the Tang Kingdom that is fighting in the Great Lakes region has a very prosperous life, just like fighting on its own.

When it's time to rest

Find a nearby American village and town, and the mayor and the prestigious resident representatives all respectfully open the door and serve like a mother. Chickens and sheep were slaughtered, wine and meat were not only free but also sufficient, women slept as they pleased, property was taken as they pleased, and even if everyone in the town vacated their houses to freeze outside, they had to give the houses to the cavalry to live in.

It's so magical, but it's the truth.

Although 40,000 U.S. troops are stationed in Chicago, these U.S. soldiers can only be shrunken turtles and pretend to be out of sight.

It really can't be helped.

The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom often traveled hundreds of miles, coming and going like the wind, and they were even more fierce and cruel, and the American infantry couldn't keep up, let alone fight.

How to fight?

When to play?

Where to fight?

What time to play?

All of this is not the master, and the American army cannot grasp the initiative, if you follow the pursuit behind the ass, in case you fall into some heavy machine gun trap again, it will really be a calf.

This is the innate disadvantage of infantry to cavalry, and 40,000 American soldiers are stunned and can't suppress the 8,000 cavalry corps of the northern line of the Tang Kingdom.

From here, we can see the importance of Fort Hugo to the security of the Great Plains of the Central United States, which is like a steel nail, firmly rooted on the Colorado Plateau, and has become a security barrier to protect the Great Plains of the Central United States.

Behind the Hugo Fortress, the Kansas Desert and the endless Gobi Desert, which are more than 500 kilometers long, are also natural geographical obstacles for the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom to invade the Eastern Great Plains.

As for the north, there really can't be helped.

The vast prairies, forests, and great plains of the northern United States are naturally conducive to cavalry warfare, and there are no major natural geographical obstacles except for the Missouri River.

After listening to the report of Major General Dai Changfu, chief of staff of the army, Richard explained some matters and waved him to retreat.

It's late June, and it's harvest season on the Colorado Plateau.

The U.S. army was much weaker than expected on the battlefield, not only was it not able to break through the defense line of the Red Rock Valley, but it couldn't even touch the edge of the Phoenix Castle.

Many of the arrangements Richard made before the war were not used by many of his backers, and the Colt 1848 lever-fired repeater did not have a chance to exert its power, which is a great thing.

Richard was relieved by all this, and then shifted the focus of the government's work to the upcoming summer harvest.

He planned to wait until the peace agreement between the United States and the United States was formally signed, and the restrictions on the construction of villages and towns on the Colorado Plateau would be lifted, and a large number of small and medium-sized farmers, plantation owners, and ranchers, mainly retired soldiers, would be allowed to build their own homes.

Now

A northwesterly rail line from Phoenix is under construction that will connect Wyoming and Montana to the northwest, creating a series of towns along the railroad.

The rail line extending north from Phoenix City splits in two, with another planned rail line extending northeast to Peel City, South Dakota, and continuing north into North Dakota territory.

Yes, Richard already had South Dakota and North Dakota in his pocket, and he wanted to see if he could take Minnesota, which would have ports on the shores of the Great Lakes and be able to threaten the American heartland with a navy.

But when you think about it, it's extremely unlikely.

The United States will never allow the power of the Tang Kingdom to get involved in the Great Lakes region, and it is even more taboo to have ports on the shores of the Great Lakes, and now it can only be thought about.

If you really want to cut a piece of land from the Great Lakes region, it is estimated that only after the outbreak of the American Civil War more than 10 years later, the Tang Kingdom can try to join forces with the southern slave states to completely split the American Union.

Interrupt its fledgling upward momentum, erode Citi's national fortunes, and find a way to bite down on another big piece of fat.

At this time in time, there must be no way!

The Americans offered to reopen the Canadian peace talks, and Richard had authorized Foreign Minister Juan Carlos to make specific representations, a white Mexican man with a talent for diplomacy and bargaining.

It is said that during the negotiations in Tyawa, the capital of British Canada, Juan Carlos made the American negotiators faint.

Because he was ashamed to include Chicago in the territory of the Tang Kingdom, and shouted; "The victor can do whatever he wants, and this is the glory of God."

Listen, are you angry?

Richard's bottom line for Juan Carlos was that the five Northwest states must be ceded, including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota and South Dakota.

As for Nebraska, Minnesota, and Iowa, any of them is a major meritorious service, and an earl title is secure.

It is precisely because of this attractive commendation that Foreign Secretary Juan Carlos wiped his sleeves and lost his cheeks, and in a hurry to directly confront the American negotiators, beating, suppressing and threatening, speaking ruthlessly, and uniting the British to exert pressure, and using all kinds of tricks, it really exerted 12 points of strength, and the purpose was to make the United States submit.

If he really talked about a state, of course Richard would not be stingy with an earl title and fiefdom, which was the reward that people deserved.

Seeing that the US Western Expeditionary Force was instigated and frightened, it was unable to launch a large-scale campaign in a short period of time, and there was still a distance of more than 150 kilometers from the Hugo Oasis to the Red Rock Valley.

The army of the Tang Kingdom will definitely not fight, when the US army will advance westward, and when will a larger-scale war break out.

Judging by the attitude of the US government in a hurry to negotiate, Richard knew that this battle would probably not be fought.

Of course

The premise is that the peace agreement between the two countries can be finally reached, and the Tang Kingdom should not open its mouth, make excessive demands, and not be overly domineering, and should accept it when it is good.

Richard's original intention was also to end this war, from 1846 to the present, the war has been going on for the third year, as a new kingdom with a total population of only more than 800,000, even though there are two major sources of wealth, the American River Gold Mine and the Morench Copper Mine, the military expenditure of the Tang Kingdom is also a heavy burden.

Fortunately, most of the rewards for officers and soldiers were given land and women, and the royal government was able to barely cope with the expenses by vigorously building houses and recovering a large amount of money from the officers and soldiers.

If it continues, the Kingdom's finances are bound to deteriorate and shake the foundations of this new Kingdom.

Ultimately

It's that the background of the Tang Kingdom is too shallow, the population is too small, and the boat can't withstand the wind and waves!

If the Tang Kingdom suffered a defeat in a war that cost tens of thousands of people, it would be possible to completely shake the foundation of the kingdom, and Richard really couldn't afford to gamble.

Therefore, under the international mediation led by the United Kingdom, the conclusion of a formal peace treaty between Tang and the United States and the completion of border demarcation negotiations is a win-win result.

Keep fighting, it's a lose-lose.

Mid-July

On the Colorado Plateau, where the wheat waves are rolling, the summer harvest finally ushered in the opening ceremony, and King Richard symbolically harvested the first handful of ripe wheat at the opening ceremony, indicating that the summer harvest work was in full swing.

It was a fruitful harvest day, and everyone had a smile of joy and contentment on their faces, except for the more than 40,000 white prisoners who worked in the fields.

Originally, there were more than 35,000 white hard labor prisoners on the Colorado Plateau, but in order to cope with the attack of the American army, more than 8,600 people were urgently conscripted from them to fight on the first line of the Red Rock Valley.

so far

The front-line musket regiments, which were mainly whites, suffered more than 2,770 casualties, and performed quite well in the battle, and many whites would be removed from their inferior status and received official citizenship.

Who would have thought that the 13,000 American soldiers captured in the Battle of Red Rock Valley would bring the number of white prisoners to 40,000 again, becoming the main force of labor in the summer harvest season.

Richard rejoiced as he harvested the first ear of wheat, and his smile could no longer be concealed as he watched countless people rush into the wheat field with scythes and begin harvesting.

Industrious Chinese immigrants have turned the fertile northern Colorado Plateau into a large granary, which is also the largest and most important grain base of the Tang Kingdom.

Every day, more than a dozen trains laden with goods roar south, passing through Rio Rancho and Las Vegas, transporting the highlands' abundant produce, fruits, and drinks to the cities.

This fertile land full of sunshine on the plateau has allowed the agricultural products of the Tang Kingdom to reach its own self-sufficient level, meet the needs of more than 800,000 residents, and still have spare energy, it is really a treasure of feng shui!
