Unconsciously, in ten years, the territory of the Tang Kingdom will have expanded to 7.31 million square kilometers, plus the area of 786,000 square kilometers of the paradise island belonging to the Tang royal family, the kingdom's territory has reached 8.096 million square kilometers, second only to Brazil's 8.51 million square kilometers of territory, and ranking second in the American continent.

Comparatively

The United States' territory area of 5.99 million square kilometers is already far behind the Tang Kingdom, and can only rank third on the American continent (Note; Together with the 678,000 square kilometers of territory in Texas, the territory of the United States is 5.73 million square kilometers, plus the 260,000 square kilometers of land in the states of Dejuana and Monterey ceded by Mexico, for a total of 5.99 million square kilometers).

Look back at history

In the US-Tang War that ended in 1849, the Tang Kingdom occupied the six northwestern states of the United States through a treaty, with a total area of 1.477 million square kilometers, plus the previous 3.01 million square kilometers of land of the Tang Kingdom, making the total area of the Tang Kingdom reach 4.49 million square kilometers, second only to Brazil and the United States, the third largest country in the Americas (including North and South America and Central America).

In September 1851, after the signing of the Treaty of Mexico, the Tang Kingdom annexed eight southern Mexican states, increasing the total area from 4,490,000 square kilometers to 5,593,000 square kilometers (note: the increase includes 17,500 square kilometers in Hawaii and 75,500 square kilometers in Panama).

Later, through purchase, it acquired another 1.717 million square kilometers of Alaska, bringing the territory of the Tang Kingdom to 7.31 million square kilometers, surpassing the United States and second only to Brazil, ranking second in the Americas.

Through two North American wars, the Tang Kingdom defeated regional rivals such as the United States and Mexico this year, thus greatly expanding its land area and establishing its position as a strong North American power today.

Arguably

The rise of the Tang Kingdom was based on constantly weakening and attacking the United States and Mexico, trampling on the corpses to one victory after another, and knocking down the United States before it became strong.

And all this has also formed the most important contradiction in North America today; That is, the pattern of the two powers of Tang and the United States.

In the large study of the Los Angeles Palace

Richard stood in front of a large map of North America with his hands behind his back, his eyes solemn, carefully considering the current situation.

The Kansas Civil War in the United States was still going on, and in its original history, it was fought until the end of 1859, and there is no sign of the war stopping.

What are brothers most afraid of?

I am most afraid that there is a neighbor with bad intentions around me, who may unite one side and attack the other at any time.

The greatest possible

It is the Tang Kingdom that unites with the United States, which has close relations, to support its separatist proposition, which is a strategic dilemma that the US federal government has to face.

Caught in such a strategic predicament, the US federal government is restless, and the Tang Kingdom has shown its strong military capabilities in previous wars and is a difficult opponent to mess with.

And the southern slave states of the United States, under the guns of the Kansas Civil War, have gradually distanced themselves from the liberals in the north, and the rift has expanded to the point that it cannot be concealed.

From the perspective of the U.S. federal government, there is an abyss to the left and an abyss to the right, and there is only a bumpy and thorny path in the middle, which seems to lead to the other side of victory.

The only way for the United States to break its strategic dilemma is to take the lead in provoking the border dispute between the United States and Tang, and then develop into a full-scale war, replacing internal contradictions with a greater focus of contradictions, and prompting the North and the South of the United States to temporarily put aside their prejudices and jointly deal with the greatest enemy, the Tang Kingdom.

This thorny path seems to be the only viable option for the US federal government.

Richard stood in front of a map that was half a man tall, a lit cigar in his hand, and a thick cyan tobacco mist lingered on his side, making his figure look like a lake.

Today, the Tang Kingdom is in a rare period of peace since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the economy is still developing at a high speed under the effect of inertial growth.

However, without the strong pull of the demand for war in Europe, the impetus for development has become weaker and weaker, showing obvious signs of a decline in the speed of development, and it is transitioning from a quasi-wartime economy to a peaceful economy.

The country is singing and dancing, a prosperous scene, and few people can perceive the imminent North American strategic crisis.

Richard was one of those very few people, and with Superman's mysterious premonition, he could have a hunch that next year would be an unquiet year.

The heavy clouds of war swept from the east, which was the direction of the United States......

After the rise of the Tang Kingdom, the historical trajectory of North America has been very different from the original historical trajectory, and new players have emerged who can compete with the United States ~ the Tang Kingdom.

This also led to many new uncertainties in the situation in North America: Was the American Civil War irreversibly divided at the end of 1860, as it has historically been?

With the strong support of the Tang Kingdom, and the British always stirring things up in it, would the South of the United States declare independence earlier?

In order to gain the initiative, will the US federal government take the lead in attacking the Tang Kingdom and take the initiative to provoke a full-scale war?

Judging by the current situation

The last possibility is the most likely, the American Federation has been unable to resist the impulse of war, and it is expected that after June ~ July next year, the possibility of war between Tang and the United States will increase rapidly.

The longer it drags on, the more the risk of war skyrockets.

Why such a strategic judgment?

The first is based on Richard's mysterious premonition, and the second is based on the current situation of the federal power in the United States, which needs to be well explained.

It had been a month since the trip to Hawaii, and it had been more than a week since I returned to Los Angeles, and it was already mid-August 1856, and autumn was soon to begin.

The current President of the United States, Franklin Pearce, is entering the final days of his term of office, and he will officially step down as president in March next year, becoming the former president of the United States.

The time left was not enough to launch an all-out war against the Tang Kingdom, and neither Congress nor the military would follow President Franklin Pierce on a fruitless adventure.

The final results of the U.S. election have not yet been officially announced, but Democratic candidate James Buchanan won six of the nine eastern states voted in advance, leading the Whig presidential rival by a wide margin.

If nothing else, Democratic nominee James Buchanan is more than 80 percent sure of winning the final presidential race, and it may be more than that.

"James Buchanan......" Richard muttered, a stubborn fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

This is his mysterious premonition of life and death, unknown in the original history, but to succeed James Buchanan as the next president of the United States, everyone in the world will be like thunder, that is President Abraham Lincoln.

Later generations often elevate admiration to worship this president when they visit historic buildings in Washington, D.C.

That is, the "Lincoln Memorial", a magnificent Greek temple-like building located on the west side of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., with a white shape, and the Capitol Hill Building and the Washington Monument in a straight line, is the foundation of the American spirit of freedom, democracy, and justice, and single-handedly created the iron-fisted figure of the greater American Union.

The man had gained great fame in the Kansas Civil War and now returned to Philadelphia to join the newly formed Republican Party, where he was giving speeches and trying to promote his political ideas in preparation for the next presidential nomination.

The Abraham Lincoln threat was still a few years later, and Richard now faced James Buchanan, who had publicly claimed in the campaign;

"It is a shame for the white man that the United States, with its natural mission to unify and dominate the North American continent, cannot tolerate cowardice, let alone stand shoulder to shoulder with an Oriental regime.

During my presidency, I will work to recover the territories of the six northwestern states and to build a strong and great American Union, God willing! ”

His public statements show that he is a fanatical white expansionist, and that his radical political ideas are strongly supported by hawks within the Democratic Party, which has led to the victory of incumbent President Franklin Pierce for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Passionate slogans tend to stir people's hearts, and the Democratic Party has long complained about President Franklin Pearce's inaction and is eager to change that.

Is it hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing for James Buchanan, a tough challenger who won the support of the majority of the party with radical and dangerous political slogans and interrupted President Franklin Pearce's dream of re-election?

Those who know you best must be your enemies.

Richard has analyzed the behavioral characteristics and personality tendencies of James Buchanan in depth and detail, this is an old bachelor in his 60s, the situation is extreme and stubborn, and there is a kind of admitting death momentum that hits the south wall.

To say that it sounds good is to persevere, and to say that it is unpleasant is to go all the way to the dark.

The reason why this man is not famous in history and spent 4 years as president is because his predecessor has done everything he can, expanding the territory of the United States to the West Coast, and successfully taking the British Oregon region, on the basis of which the United States states of Oregon, Washington, Iowa and Nevada were formed.

Having conquered Texas by waging the Mexican-American War to the south, he was already satisfied with his stomach and his desire to expand new territories was greatly diminished.

If James Buchanan wanted to make a difference during his tenure, he would continue to bully Mexico or invade British Canada in the north, thus provoking the Anglo-American war.

There is no basis for public opinion and no realistic possibility to do so, so President James Buchanan can only focus on developing an industrialized economy at home and bully the neighboring countries of Central and South America, and that's it.

Now it's different

The United States has a strong rival on the North American continent, the Tang Kingdom, and has the bitter experience of being defeated and forced to cede land and sue for peace, which gives James Buchanan a strong public opinion base for military adventures.

If the six Northwest states can be recovered through war, and then westward into New Mexico, James Buchanan will become a heroic president in American history, ushering in a new era of presidents and immortalizing history.

Coupled with the current strategic dilemma facing the U.S. federal government, it's easy to deduce what the new incoming U.S. administration of James Buchanan will do.

"Hoo ......"

Breathing out a long puff of smoke, Richard's eyes were wise and deep. His gaze lingered for a long time in the Great Lakes region with Chicago at its core, and his gaze shuttled back and forth between Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin, revealing an irrepressible eagerness.

You miss my territory, I miss yours!

You covet my yard, why don't I miss your yard with all my heart?

Hehe, everyone is each other!
