While Richard was thinking about his own thoughts, Lieutenant General Dai Changfu, chief of staff, finished introducing the battle plan at the imperial meeting and solicited the opinions of all parties, mainly cabinet ministers.

Lieutenant General Dai Changfu replied to questions one by one, including the Ministry of Finance's concern about the war expenses, the wagons that need to be occupied for combat operations, the transportation plan that needs to be adjusted with the cooperation of the Ministry of Communications, the human resources expended, and the regional and urban martial law measures that the Ministry of the Interior needs to cooperate with.

After repeated discussions, the battle plan codenamed "Determination" of the General Staff Headquarters was finally approved, and the king ordered it to be handled accordingly.

This was a large-scale military operation led by the Army General Staff Headquarters, and it was also the most important military operation plan of the year.

It aims to completely eliminate the social unrest factors led by the indigenous Indian tribes in the Tang Kingdom, and create a comprehensive, harmonious and peaceful social environment.

Richard didn't pay much attention to this, and left it all to the Army Staff Headquarters.

The equipment of the cavalry unit of the Tang Kingdom can be said to be ahead of the world, each cavalry is equipped with Tang-style sabers, water bottles, blankets, leather boots and leather goods, the main weapon is a Colt 1848 lever repeating rifle, the secondary weapon is one or two Colt 1846 cavalry-style revolver muskets, the intensive fire strike ability can last from 350 yards to 100 yards, the world is unparalleled, proper top cavalry equipment.

Such first-class cavalry equipment can fight many Indian native cavalry without saddles, and if there is any difference, the officers can kill themselves and thank the world.

The Imperial Council was over, and it was already noon.

Richard entered the maple grove in the backyard of the palace as usual, and several wild wolves and two tigers that were half a man tall ran out to greet them, as well as a jaguar and two American brown bears weighing thousands of pounds, all of whom surrounded from all sides, and the momentum was quite amazing for a while.

Richard stepped forward like a ghost, his figure tossing and turning under the bite of wild wolves, tigers and jaguars, often dodging in the moment, so many beasts could not touch a corner of his clothes.

When the clumsy American brown bear man stood up like a wall in front of him, Richard reached out and pulled it like lightning, and the horse under his feet did not move, and he had already thrown the American grizzly bear, which weighed thousands of pounds, from the top of his head and slammed it to the ground.

Looking at his relaxed demeanor, it was not once or twice that he wrestled with the giant beasts in the forest.

Even with the huge body of the American brown bear, it could only resist the infinite strange force of Richard's whole body for a short time, and then he was thrown down again and again, roaring in pain.

More than a dozen tigers, jaguars and wild wolves are known for their ferocious bites and agile movements, but they can fall on their heels as soon as Richard's hand picks them, and they can't survive the second round at all.

That is to say, relying on the large number of beasts, the rough skin and thick flesh are resistant to beating, and they can barely let Richard have fun and move a little.

A stick of incense

Richard threw a group of beasts and rolled all over the ground, especially the two North American brown bears like Roshan, who had been smashed fiercely and roared wildly, and he stopped without getting enough of it.

These beasts raised in the maple leaf forest, one is to take care of the family in the palace, and the other is a good playmate in leisure.

When leaving

Richard summoned Lieutenant Colonel Mai Hsiao-zu, deputy commander of the Royal Guards Cavalry Regiment, who was on duty, and commanded;

"There are still fewer beasts in the forest, find a way to get a few more big North American brown bears and tigers, lions are also fine, those European circuses often have these beasts, the more violent the better, tamed to have a sense of achievement."

"Wechen obeys." What else can Lieutenant Colonel Mai Xiaozu say, he can only respectfully clench his fists and take the order.

The Maple Leaf Palace has to make such a fuss every day, whether it is a lion, a jaguar, a North American brown bear, or those giant wolves, they will be roared and screamed by His Majesty every day, and all the guards are no longer surprised.

In everyone's minds, Your Majesty is a god, is it strange to bully a few beasts?

Back in the palace for lunch, Richard came to the big study to make a cup of fragrant coffee, lit a cigar and sat on a chair, enjoying the lazy time in the afternoon.

Soon after entering the period of peace, Richard was tired of the mountain of eucalyptus work, and could not lead a large army across the heart of North America, thousands of miles to war, and experience the war years of the golden iron horse.

The days were as calm as water, and Richard felt a little unable to sit still.

He likes to do challenging things, nostalgies the adventurous war years, and doesn't want to be trapped hand and foot, but he has to give up the front-line military commander function under the strong persuasion of everyone, so he feels a little depressed.

Such a trivial matter as the elimination of the Indians does not need Richard to put on the field personally, and in a short time, the American Civil War will not break out, pinch your fingers and count;

The most recent major war on a world scale was the Crimean War, which was also two or three years later.

Richard had been planning a round-the-world voyage to order a 5,400-ton steam clipper at Chang'an Shipyard, which would be a new iron steamer without the two-side impellers.

He had long been tired of the huge round impellers on both sides of the steamer, which not only made a lot of noise and high steam pollution when running, but also had complex machinery and poor maintainability, which was often damaged, but it had a small effect on the speed, which was really a burden.

The steamers of this era were not only equipped with huge round impellers on both sides to assist power, but also retained masts and sails, which allowed fuel savings when downwind.

As a result, the various machinery and sail ropes on the deck of the steamer are densely packed, bloated and cumbersome, and the actual effect is not very good.

Richard couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply intervened in the construction and design of the ship, canceling the two huge circular impellers on the side and their equipment, and the mast sails, but retaining and strengthening the propeller power.

The new 5,400-ton steam clipper uses four horizontal steam engines, two in one to drive an enlarged propeller, twin shaft and twin propellers, with a total of 3,800 horsepower, capable of propelling the steam clipper at a speed of 14 knots per hour for long periods of time.

Today's new ships are under construction at the Chang'an shipyard, which has attracted a lot of criticism from the European shipbuilding industry, and the famous French ship designer Rondo DiCaprio has publicly declared;

"This ugly ship design is nothing more than a king's new toy, and with the sails removed, it looks less like a ship from every angle, more like a bun cut in half."

European ship designers, caught up in centuries of traditional thinking, have a great time accepting ships or warships without sails, which is a great challenge to their aesthetics.

The fact that the Europeans held on for half a century, until the beginning of the 20th century, when the British Empire battleships that roamed the world's oceans still retained their sail designs.
