Chapter 207 North

The train runs all the way, passing through vast grasslands, lakes, forests and rolling mountains, and countless beautiful scenery is left behind in the back, and the steam locomotive roars all the way forward.

Sitting in the luxuriously decorated carriage, Richard's gaze looked into the distance, and there was no focus in his gaze, but he was caught in deep memories.

The beautiful scenery passed along the way, the mountains, rivers and lakes have left the figure of the battle, how can it be easily forgotten?

The first and second battles on the northern front were all fought by Richard himself, and the route they had traveled was the same as the distance they had traveled in the wind and snow.

A lonely mountain, a low-lying lake, and a dozen bleak trees have all left the mark of battle.

Recalling the high-spirited and comfortable galloping on the northern front, he was always able to avoid the heavily defended areas of the US military and kill the old American ones.

Richard was deeply moved by this, all of this was inseparable from the accurate intelligence brought by the Eagle News in the sky, so that the deployment of the US military force was almost impossible to escape.

If you can't get it right

Richard can also easily subdue weasels, feral cats and other nimble beasts, enter the towns where the US military is entrenched, and get close to reconnaissance, gaining the advantage of unilateral information transparency.

There was no way, Richard had too little capital in his hands at that time, and he couldn't afford to lose at all.

Four or five years have passed

Today's thriving and vigorous Tang Kingdom, which has some industrial, agricultural and population bases, has the spirit and responsibility of a North American power, and is rapidly rising in North America, sharing the grand fortune of the United States.

This magnificent gift from God is unimaginably rich, enough to support the Tang Kingdom and the United States to rise side by side in North America, and there is still a surplus.

Richard was convinced of this unseen and untouchable theory of luck.

Just like the Mongols suddenly rose in the steppe, the outbreak was unreasonable, so strong that it was unreasonable, and it swept across the Eurasian continent to destroy hundreds of countries with a long history, is there the slightest trace to follow?

The same is true of the United States, which has developed all the way from the original thirteen states on the East Coast to the Tang Kingdom, and only then did it stop its easy and outrageous expansion.

If Richard hadn't been burdened with a plug-in, he really wouldn't have been able to stop it.

If we look at the rapid economic and demographic development of the American Federation today, we can see that the failure of the three western expeditions did not cause substantial harm to the United States.

It's like a strong man with rough skin and thick flesh, who got up again after being knocked over for the third time, patted the dust on his body casually and admitted defeat, but it did not affect the future development of the United States.

The poor homeland of Shenzhou is different, the Manchu Qing is like a dying old man, after being easily defeated by the Anglo-French alliance and the Eight-Nation Alliance, even the little devil of Fusang can come up and step on a few feet, and fall into the centennial decline of the Chinese nation......

"Woo......"

The long whistle of the steam locomotive woke up Richard's chaotic thoughts, and he took a sip of some cold tea, calmly calculating the current situation at home and abroad.

In Europe

Louis Napoleon Bonaparte succeeded in earning France the lofty title of "Defender of the Holy Land" and was universally loved by the French people, thus succeeding in the restoration and ascending to the throne of the French Emperor.

In the face of strong pressure from France, the Ottoman Empire unsurprisingly succumbed and relinquished the honorary title of "Defender of the Holy Land", which was originally a glory that belonged to the Tsar, thus completely exacerbating the "Eastern Question".

The so-called "Eastern Question" is a series of problems that have arisen around the declining Ottoman Empire, such as the Bulgarian question, the Armenian question, the Holy Land Jerusalem question, the Serbian and Montenegro question, the Caucasus question, and so on.

These regions, which were originally part of the border provinces of the Ottoman Empire, have now become fat in the mouths of the European powers, forcibly intervening in them, thus complicating the problem.

You also want to eat, and he wants to eat, so naturally they will fight for it, and this will lead to the "Eastern question" becoming a hot issue in Europe.

Now

The sluggish Tsarist Russia had not yet made an official response, but it was to be expected that the whole of Europe would be shaken by the raging anger of the Tsarist bears.

And this ...... Exactly what Emperor Louis-Napoleon Boraba III wanted to see, and what Richard wanted to see.

The increasingly chaotic situation in Europe is conducive to the Tang Kingdom fishing in troubled waters.

After swallowing the land of the eight northern and central states of Mexico in one gulp, London's attitude towards the Tang Kingdom became strange. A lot of the time, I am lukewarm, I pick a bone in some trade and bilateral exchanges, I speak in a weird way, and I look like my aunt is here and don't mess with me.

Richard knew that Britain was sour.

As a veteran colonist, Britain always did not like things to get out of their control, just like the rapid expansion of the Tang Kingdom, London did not like it very much.

It was not about whether or not to give away a stake in the Prince Albert Gold Mine, nor about the communication channels in the upper echelons of London, but about the subordinate position between London and the Tang Kingdom.

To put it mildly, in the minds of the arrogant British elders, the Tang Kingdom is a dog they raised in North America.

When it is necessary to bite the United States, go up and bite it fiercely, and teach Americans to respect the British Empire, the world hegemon.

Decades later

Britain did the same thing in East Asia, that is, it fell in love with the little devil of Fuso.

A hundred years later, the American old man did the same thing, and laid out two dogs in East Asia at the same time, Fusang and kimchi, which is completely the vicious trick of learning from the British old.

London never imagined that in an accident, the Tang Kingdom would scrape off a large piece of meat from Mexico in the south, and quickly grew from a dog to a Menghu and one of the two North American hegemons that were enough to compete with the United States.

The speed of its transformation is completely beyond London's expectations, so why can I be happy?

The reason why Richard hoped to see the Eastern issue continue to ferment was because it would restrain a lot of energy from the British, and they would not have time to clean up the Tang Kingdom, thus giving the Tang Kingdom valuable breathing and development space.

After a few years, the Tang Kingdom has developed into a towering tree, then Britain needs the assistance of the Tang Kingdom in many North American affairs, and the relationship between the two sides will have subtle changes.

With a long sigh, Richard seemed to be about to exhale the depression in his heart.

In this world of the jungle

Strength is the foundation of a country, and if you don't have strength, people won't even pinch you, let alone sit together and talk and laugh and discuss world events.

The period between now and next year should be the most bumpy stage in the relationship between the Tang Kingdom and the United Kingdom.

Richard thought about how to make good relations with Britain and make sure that relations between the two countries did not deteriorate, but he frowned at the thought of Sir Henry John Temple, the British Foreign Secretary.

Sir Henry John Temple, when consulted in the House of Lords in London, once publicly declared;

"A Tang kingdom dominated by eastern barbarians, full of the aggressiveness of the steppe peoples, may become the biggest destabilizing factor in North America, which is contrary to London's policy, and we should send a timely and clear signal."

"Enough...... Orientals, you have to follow the rules here. ”

"I'm not a lobbyist for the Americans, and I don't sympathize with the old northerners who spread dangerous liberal ideas everywhere, which is a place to house the Irish and hide filth, I just care if the Tang Kingdom poses a threat to the Canadian colonies?"

Speak heart-wrenching

Sir Henry John Temple's words succeeded in stirring up the sensitive nerves of the old English.

Come to think of it, it does

In the vast and sparsely populated Midwest of Canada, there are few white people, and there are only less than 70,000 people on six or seven million square kilometers of land, which is almost a barren.

The population and economic center of the British Canadian colonies has always been on the line of Tyawa ~ Montreal ~ Quebec, a bustling urban belt close to the northern border of the United States, just north of New York and Vermont.

With a population of nearly 2 million and more than 80% of the population of the British Canadian colonies, this bustling urban belt is undoubtedly the golden core.

But it's also a long way from the Midwest, three to four thousand kilometers away, over countless mountains and forests, thousands of kilometers through untouched areas, no railroads or roads, and at least four months on horseback or on foot.

The only convenient means of communication was the long-distance telegraph line.

After the rapid growth of the Tang Kingdom, the British began to worry that the Tang Kingdom was worried about the fat of the British Canadian colonies, and it could not be regarded as a mistake.

The most hateful thing was that Sir Henry John Temple succeeded in stirring up the concerns of the British, and deepened this impression, making it difficult for public opinion and the upper classes in London to become suspicious and suspicious of the Tang Kingdom.

It was Victoria's glory days, the British Empire accounted for nearly one-third of the world's economic output, was the first industrial country to launch the steam revolution, was the world's factory, and its economic power was so strong that it crushed everything.

Britain invested a large amount of capital in the first industrial revolution represented by steam machinery, which created the rapid development of traditional industrial sectors such as textiles, coal, food, shipbuilding, and machinery manufacturing, and ensured the dominant position of Britain in the world economy in the first half of the 19th century.

Now is the most glorious time for Britain, but as France, the United States, Prussia, Italy, Tang and other countries began to industrialize, Britain gradually slipped from the throne of the world's factory, and that was the next twenty or thirty years.

Now, we must hold the big thick legs of the UK tightly, and if you are wronged, you will be wronged, who makes the family much stronger than us?

There was a gentle knock on the door of the king's luxurious box, and Richard looked up and saw that it was Major General Chen Chuan, the chief of the military attache of the royal family, who pushed the door open and came in, and said with a respectful expression; "Your Majesty, the final stop of Peel City is coming soon, and the dignitaries of the city are lining up at the station to greet you, please give your Majesty instructions."

"Oh, then get ready to get out of the car."

"Weichen understands, let's arrange the relevant matters." Major General Chen Chuan gave a deep salute, then took two steps back, opened the door and went out, closing the door gently.

The whole process is gentle and does not make a sound, like a tanuki.
