"Your Majesty, the latest news from the capital of Canada, Taihua, negotiations with the United States have broken down again."

"Brother Qing'an, can't you make me happy for a while?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to conceal such a big event, and I pray for Your Majesty's forgiveness."

"How many times have negotiations broken down?"

"Uh...... It should be the fourth time that it has broken down, and it is said that the representatives of the American side have begun to pack their things and prepare to leave Canada and return to the United States, saying that they will not talk about anything. ”

"Huh...... Acting like the real thing, what is Juan Carlos' offer right now? ”

"The seven northwestern states of the United States, in addition to our established five states, also Nebraska and Minnesota, have given up their territorial claims to Iowa, which is a major concession."

"What's new?"

"Uh...... The representative of France, Mr. Jean-Pierre, came forward to put pressure on us to make substantial concessions on our territorial claims, and to claim no more than four American states, otherwise France would not mind sending an expeditionary force to restore the balance of power in North America if negotiations broke down. ”

"Fuck, these shameless Gallic bastards want to sacrifice the interests of the Tang Kingdom to win the favor of the United States, what do the British say?"

"The British representative, Baron Glanville-Gower, was inclined to support our claim most of the time. But in private, he also said that London was dissatisfied with our lion's big mouth, and that the American upper class still had a certain amount of influence in Britain, and won a certain degree of sympathy and some public support. This is also a certain pressure for Mr. Baron. ”

"Britain is not a good thing, seeing that the Tang Kingdom is gaining momentum and wants to suppress it, this is engaging in a "North American version of European balance". Forget it, we can't afford to offend the British now, and the French are also in trouble, telegraphing Juan Carlos to give up his territorial claims to Minnesota. Tell the British and the French that this is our final bottom line, and that the United States will continue to fight if it does not accept it. ”

"Weichen understands, so he will draft a message and send it." After Gu Yan, the secretary general of the royal family, immediately left in a hurry to do something.

It has been more than a month since the Battle of Hongyan Valley ended, and under the mediation of international forces led by Britain, it has been a month since the United States and Tang launched secret peace talks between the United States and Tang Dynasty.

Due to the large differences between the two sides of the peace talks, the negotiations have broken down four times in just one month, and in early July, the American troops on the Hugo Oasis also received reinforcements of tens of thousands of troops, and made a posture of attacking and advancing towards the Red Rock Valley.

Richard personally led 12,000 cavalry to a three-day live-fire exercise near the Hugo Oasis, showing his muscles to the old Americans, triggering an all-round alert for the Western expeditionary army of the United States.

The two sides are tense and the situation is extremely tense.

After this

The United States obediently returned to the negotiating table, but unexpectedly, the negotiations broke down again......

What a good thing to grind!

Generally speaking, this kind of peace talks between the two countries, which involve major territorial cession matters, can hardly be negotiated in a short period of time, and if it really continues, it is possible in three years, five years, or even ten or twenty years.

Now the United States is in a hurry.

According to recent U.S. newspaper reports, O'Nacom, a heavyweight member of the House of Representatives in the northern states, initiated a new abolitionist bill at the end of June, which was like spilling a glass of cold water in a hot oil pan, and immediately caused a boil in the Senate and House of Representatives.

In a democratic system, there are always some congressmen who want to attract attention, regardless of the overall situation, jump out to be willing clowns, and the new proposal of the abolitionist Parliamentarian Onacomm has completely intensified the false united front of the North and the South, which is as weak as paper.

Now members of the Senate and House of Representatives, who represent the interests of both the North and the South, are arguing on Capitol Hill, and newspapers and public opinion in the South and the North have also joined in, making the bloody differences between the two sides even greater.

Many high-ranking officials in the southern slave states have threatened; "The bullshit federal government is no longer able to represent the interests of the South, and we must form our own government, elect a new president who can represent the interests of the South, and build a strong army, and this agenda cannot be delayed."

Other words

President Polk's coffin board was almost unpressable, the capitalists in the North strongly demanded the abolition of slavery, and the slave owners in the South strongly opposed it, and the contradictions between the two sides could not be reconciled at all.

In this case

Richard was keenly aware of the possibility of taking an additional Northwest state, and he targeted Nebraska, which is a landlocked state after all, with much less sensitivity than Minnesota.

A sheep is a drive, and a flock of sheep is also a drive, why don't you have a bigger appetite?

As Juan Carlos arrogantly declared; "It is a God-given glory that the victor can do whatever he wants, and the victor is not to blame."

On the more than 50-kilometer road from Phoenix to Taoyuan, horse-drawn carts loaded with crops are endless, and on this sunny summer day, the Colorado Plateau ushered in a gratifying situation of agricultural harvest.

More than 200,000 people on the rolling plateau went into battle to carry out the summer harvest on an unprecedented scale, which lasted for more than two weeks, and only then did it come to an end.

After the summer harvest, the endless farmland began to burn straw, which was really burning with thick smoke, and there was no sunlight for more than ten days, and the strong smell of burning straw was everywhere.

After that, it is to turn the land deeply, after more than ten days of exposure, the deep land will be broken, raked evenly, ridged, and planted all kinds of fruits, vegetables and autumn crops.

Hugo Oasis

The large fortress under construction of the Western Expeditionary Army has been built to nearly two meters high, gradually revealing the grand and majestic posture of the Western Fortress, which is not inferior to the Western-style fortress of Phoenix Castle, with many fortresses, spire towers and churches, which can be garrisoned by 3~40,000 troops for a long time.

Not far from the Hugo Fortress, there are two reservoirs under construction, one large and one small, the smaller Beaver Reservoir is only 1.1 kilometers away from the fortress, which is the main source of drinking water for people and animals in the Hugo Fortress.

July 29th

The Kansas Railway, which traveled west from Kansas City all the way west through Burlington to Hugo's Fortress, was finally opened to traffic after a year and a half of construction, which was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Western Expeditionary Army.

This railway can connect the mainland of the United States to the east coast of New York, Philadelphia and other large cities, can provide a steady stream of logistics supply, completely solve the logistics bottleneck of the army's westward expedition.

To put it bluntly

From now on, the United States has the ability to devote more than 100,000 troops to the west for a large-scale war.

As long as the United States is willing, it can even throw 200,000 or more troops into the west to fight a national war.

Of course, this is only a verbal threat from the strong-mouthed, and this Kansas railway also came a little later, and it cannot save the United States from the crushing defeat in the Battle of Red Rock Valley, nor can it restore the confidence of the American army.

Fight one game and lose one game, fortunately the US front-line troops are well supplied, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago.

The heavy casualties like a sea of corpses and a sea of blood outside the Hongyan Valley have chilled the hearts of the US troops and produced a heavy shadow in the depths of their hearts, and this kind of fear and war-weariness have spread like a plague, becoming the biggest obstacle to the Western Expeditionary Army.

Lieutenant General Arthur Temple knew this very well, and in early July, the U.S. military symbolically made a westward attack, which not only frightened the Tang Kingdom, but also almost collapsed itself.

More than 3,700 US officers and men who did not know the inside story deserted en masse on the same day, and more than 100 middle- and lower-ranking officers followed, almost triggering a total collapse.

If they really drove westward, it is estimated that before they reached the Red Rock Valley, more than half of the American troops would be scattered.

According to the internal officers and soldiers of the US military; Driving westward is not called a war, it is purely to send to death!

Compared with the high morale of the Tang Kingdom, the strength and weakness of the two are clear.

Richard personally led 12,000 cavalry to the periphery of the Hugo Oasis, and for three days of gun and artillery exercises, the camp was only 12 kilometers away from the fortress, and the more than 50,000 American troops in the Hugo Oasis (note; counting more than 10,000 reinforcements) did not dare to let go of a fart, and began to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

For the U.S. military, the Storm heavy machine gun is an unsolvable weapon of mass destruction, and no amount of troops will be enough to fill this deep pit.

End of August

After experiencing seven breakdowns in negotiations, Juan Carlos, the foreign minister of the Tang Kingdom, left his rope and led all the negotiators back by boat, and then on the boat, he was stopped by Baron Glanville Gower, the British North American diplomatic attaché who was responsible for presiding over the international diplomatic mediation.

Baron Glanville-Gower stated;

The U.S. delegation received the latest telegram from Washington, agreeing in principle to cede the six northwestern states of the United States, which is an unprecedented and important concession, but the details still need to be discussed.

The detail in Baron Granville-Gower's mouth was that the Americans needed a certain amount of compensation so that the cession of land could be converted into a sale of land under a different name.

Let's get off the book

Although a fool can see that he was defeated and ceded the land, the sense of humiliation is too strong, and a veil is always needed to cover it, and selling the land is a good reason.

Anyway, the U.S. federal can't develop so much land, so sell some of it!

In 1803, we were able to buy the Louisiana area from France, and after the victory of the United States in March 1848, we were able to cede the land of the three states from Mexico, and now that the financial burden is so heavy, can't we sell some land now?

As a result, the land of the six northwestern states was ceded, and the American negotiator Lion opened his mouth and offered an asking price of $100 million.

The logic inside is simple

Since the land of the six northwestern states has been eroded and has been repeatedly ravaged and attacked by the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, then it is simply thrown away in exchange for some practical economic benefits.

The higher the price is sold, it is more like a land sale than a humiliating cession of defeated territory, which are completely two different concepts.

Foreign Minister Juan Carlos returned to the negotiating table, and the two sides began to bargain over the price.

September 3, 1848

Juan Carlos sent a long-distance telegram asking for instructions, the price of the land purchase in the six northwestern states has been talked about 21 million US dollars, and it is really impossible to lower the price anymore, please ask if you can sign a contract?

After Richard considered it, he offered a fixed price of $15 million.

If you can sign it, you can sign it, and if you can't sign it, forget it.

In 1803, the United States acquired more than 2.3 million square kilometers of land in the Louisiana region from France for $15 million, which was hailed as a glorious victory in the history of American diplomacy.

Today, $15 million includes only the six states in the northwest, not the vast central and southern regions, which should be a good price.

September 9, 1848

Witnessed by diplomatic representatives from Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, Greece, Belgium and other countries, the negotiators of the United States and Tang formally signed the "Treaty of Holding the Taihua" to end the all-out war between the two countries.

There are a total of 17 paragraphs and 22 articles in the "Grip Taihua Contract", with four main contents;

First; The United States sold Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska to the Tang Kingdom.

Second, the Tang Kingdom paid $15 million to compensate for the losses of the United States.

Third, the United States and Tang have achieved peace in an all-round way.

Fourth, the Colorado border has been slightly adjusted, and 10 kilometers west of the Hugo Oasis is used as the border between the two countries, which is equivalent to moving the dividing line of Colorado from the Burlington area by more than 110 kilometers west, and the area of Colorado has shrunk by 27,000 square kilometers.

As can be seen from the above-mentioned peace agreement;

In any case, the United States is unwilling to abandon the extremely important fortress Hugo, which is a powerful barrier to protect the densely populated areas of the central Great Plains of the United States, and plays an irreplaceable and important role in national security.

Thinking about the past few years, the Americans have really had enough of the hardships of the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, and hundreds of small and medium-sized towns in the Great Lakes region are like the back gardens of the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom.

Well, now that the peace agreement has been signed, the nightmare is finally over.

After the signing of the peace agreement, the influential giants of the US military, led by Lieutenant General Arthur Temple and Admiral Taylor, wrote to the White House one after another, demanding that the construction of US cavalry units be focused.

The goal of the army was 50,000 cavalry, including 10,000 cuirassiers, because the best military force against cavalry was stronger cavalry.

If the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom cannot be suppressed for a day, the US army will not be able to raise its head for a day.

It is a pity that they are all disappointed, after the signing of the "Shotaihua Peace Treaty", the Polk government has been caught in a storm of verbal criticism from the states of the North and the South of the United States, and even the most hotly debated abolitionist proposal between the North and the South has been shelved, and the current cabinet has frantically exported firepower against President Polk and the current cabinet.

No one is stupid

What is the "Grip Taihua Peace Treaty", it is not just an ordinary land sale treaty as the official claims, this is a loss of power and humiliation of the country, this is a betrayal of the country's core interests, this is a great shame, this is a naked defeat treaty!

Volcker, an old horseman, swore to launch three expeditions to the west, and spent a huge financial loan of more than $500 million before and after, and ended up with such a thing?

Why don't you die, old man?

The boiling public opinion in the United States actively pointed the finger at the Polk administration and the current cabinet, and the spouting saliva almost drowned President Polk, and many important members of the current cabinet also took the blame and resigned one after another under tremendous pressure.

The New York Post ran a bold line on the front page; American Thieves ...... Volcker.

The Philadelphia Chronicle was featured on the front page; President Volcker staged "The Emperor's New Clothes!" for us.

At a public event on September 27, President Polk was shot three times in the back by a police officer, seriously wounding him and immediately taken to a nearby Washington Mission Hospital for treatment.

In a hospital bed

President Polk, who left tears of repentance, said; "I am willing to bear all the blame and infamy of the defeat, and I hope that in the future, there will be a president who has the courage to take responsibility and can regain the land we lost in the six states of the United States, then I will die without regrets."
