The current stage

The Tang Kingdom did not carry out military preparations, most of the expeditionary forces repatriated from Europe were retired on time, and the newly recruited soldiers began to train in the new barracks in an orderly manner, and everything seemed to have changed much.

However, in places that outsiders can't see, new strategic reserves have been built, and a large number of weapons, equipment and materials have been replenished into the warehouse, which has become a strong material foundation in the military field of the Tang Kingdom.

The soldier reserve and the complete military mobilization system are operating well, and the middle and grassroots military academies such as the Chang'an Lecture Hall, the Los Angeles Naval Academy, and the Royal Army Military Academy continue to provide the army with high-quality young officers.

Richard had soldiers in his hands, and he didn't panic.

The geographical conditions of the existing border between Tang and the United States determine that it will not be easy for the United States to attempt to provoke a war on the border.

In the north

The rushing Missouri River blooms in late March, when the snow melts, and the amount of water discharged from the mountainous area increases dramatically, bringing together 10 large tributaries along the way, resulting in a sea of water in the middle and lower reaches of the Missouri River.

It was not until early August that the water level gradually decreased.

At this time, the east bank of the Missouri River was full of swamps, and after the water receded, countless small and medium-sized lakes were formed, and there were no roads at all, which was not suitable for large-scale military operations.

After mid-September, the sun dried up the lakes and streams, and the ground became much harder, making it suitable for military operations.

If the U.S. military wants to cross the border and provoke local strife, it must first be closely monitored by forward posts at Fort Omaha and its vicinity, preferably after October or November, when the waters of the Missouri River have subsided and the water coming from the upstream is dwindling, exposing large swaths of the riverbed.

The U.S. military crossed the river and fought with much less difficulty.

On the Central Colorado Plateau

The U.S. army is entrenched in the Hugo Fortress, facing the Red Rock Valley Fortress more than 60 kilometers away, and behind the Red Rock Valley Fortress is the Phoenix Fortress, and then the Taoyuan Fortress, all of which are hard to gnaw one after another.

The US side launched a provocation in the region, but it could only hit its head and bleed.

On the 3,776-kilometer-long border between Tang and the United States, the most likely provocation is in the southern region, where the vast plains stretch as far as the eye can see, and there are no natural geographical barriers.

From Texas and Monterey in the United States, it is convenient to enter the southern border provinces of the Tang Kingdom, the U.S. military can cut off the Gulf of Mexico Railway to the south, and plunder the southern provinces of the Tang Kingdom rich in cotton to the west.

On the contrary, the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom can easily cross the border between the two countries and go deep into Texas to kill him on his back.

The biggest problem hindering the US attack on the Tang Kingdom from Texas was not the strong cavalry strength of the Tang Kingdom, but the hostility of the southern slave estate owners in the north.

Texas is a typical southern slave state, and the U.S. federal government, which is dominated by the north, is not easy to speak, if you want to use this place to launch an attack on the Tang Kingdom, you must first ask the southerners if they agree?

The world is so magical, the United States wants to provoke a war on the border between the two countries, but the biggest obstacle comes from the southerners.

Mid-August 1856

The final verdict in the hugely influential Scott case, which was very favorable to the Southern slave planters, encouraged the congressmen who supported the interests of the Southern plantation owners to launch a new proposal to extend slavery to all the territory of the United States, which fully stimulated the conflict between the North and the South.

The perverse behavior of the Southern legislators provoked a strong backlash from the abolitionists in the North, and the two sides not only attacked each other through newspaper public opinion, but also fought more fiercely in the Kansas Civil War.

Abraham Lincoln, who had risen to prominence in the Kansas Civil War, spoke out when he returned to Philadelphia; "America has reached its most dangerous moment......"

John Brown, who fought alongside Abraham Lincoln, was also one of the leaders of the Northern Abolitionist Volunteers.

He was born into a white peasant family in Connecticut. His father was an abolitionist, and Brown was influenced by anti-slavery ideas from an early age.

As an adult, he became active in the abolitionist movement in the United States, participating in the armed struggle for free state status in Kansas (the Kansas Civil War), and became known as the "Brown of Osawa Tommy."

Faced with the rampant rampant Southern slave owners, John Brown began to plan an armed uprising with the ultimate goal of freeing southern slaves, and was financed by a generous northern business owner......

"Huh...... I'm looking forward to it! ”

An inexplicable smile appeared on Richard's face, he walked to the sofa and sat down, the current president of the United States, Franklin Pierce, was already a lame duck, and he had no seven months left in his term of office, and it was impossible to launch a large-scale military operation.

The overall size of the U.S. military is still maintained at about 13~140,000, with more than enough self-preservation and insufficient offensive.

No matter how fast the new president James Buchanan takes office, it will have to wait until August and September next year, a full year to go.

Next year, the number of conscription recruits will be doubled, and in addition, a group of supplementary soldiers will be trained in the refugee camps on the Jiaodong Peninsula, which will be both concealed and good, and will almost be enough to deal with the Yankees.

Today's Huaxia Shenzhou is full of wars, the Twist Army in the north has won great victories one after another, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the south is set to be in Jinling City, and the Qing army has organized more than 100,000 people to confront each other in the south and the north camp, and it will be at least more than ten years of chaos.

The war greatly weakened the control of the Manchu government, and the Tang State was an Oriental that the Manchus were extremely afraid of, and the coastal local governments generally did not dare to embarrass on the issue of immigration, and even complied with it.

This was due to the strength of the Tang Dynasty, which had a mountain of silver and copper coins, a tight supply of kerosene, cheap woven fabrics, sugar, white flour and grain.

These are all sought-after commodities in the market, and cooperation means that the money is bright, which makes the Qing political and business circles rush to it.

In addition, the Tang Kingdom imported a large number of tea, porcelain, various handicrafts and bamboo weaving utensils, an astonishing number of Taihu Lake mountain stones, rice paper, pig bristles, raw silk, Shu Kumhu silk, and a variety of dazzling goods, which greatly promoted the circulation of goods.

Hundreds of seagoing ships sail across the ocean each year laden with migrants and cargo, bringing with them a staggering 100,000 quintals of kerosene and other commodities on their return.

A large number of foreign banks and banks in the Tang State were closely linked to the wealthy eunuchs and merchants in the coastal provinces, and many local government officials were the behind-the-scenes manipulators of the export of immigrants in order to obtain rich profits.

Judging from the current situation, the export of a large number of Chinese immigrants can be maintained for at least ten years, with an average of more than one million people per year.

For the 350 million people in the land of China, there are more than one million refugees in war and famine every year, and this little migration is just a drizzle scattered to more than 10 coastal provinces.

Sitting on the sofa, Richard smoked a cigar, thinking about the situation in North America and East Asia, and after his thoughts stopped, he was ready to respond to all changes with no change.

If the Tang-US War breaks out in the second half of next year as expected, the Tang Kingdom will mainly rely on soldiers trained in the Chinese refugee camp, and invest troops in North America at a rate of 2~30,000 per month.

So

In addition to the initial mobilization of 12~150,000 troops, the Tang Kingdom does not need to continue to mobilize, mainly to maintain the stable order of industrial and agricultural production in the rear, and ensure sufficient labor input, so as not to affect the overall economic development of the kingdom.

The maximum capacity of the local comprehensive mobilization is 450,000 troops, but that is in the face of a major existential crisis, Richard estimates that as long as the front line can be stabilized at the beginning of the war, the mobilization of 1/3 of the reserve force is enough.

Richard was confident that a steady stream of reinforcements from the Shenzhou Continent was enough to completely crush the Yankees.

Fighting for crowd tactics, the Chinese have never been afraid of anyone!

Richard sat comfortably on the sofa, thinking through these complex issues, his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment in mastering history, and he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

U.S. presidential candidate James Buchanan has taken three steps to see one step at a time, and has already exposed his ambitions after taking office, seeing the Tang Kingdom as a stepping stone to achieve brilliant achievements in his political career, and he did not hesitate to invest the lives of tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers for this.

As everyone knows

Richard was already waiting for him on the top of the 10th floor, and his every move was under control, as clear as the observation pattern in the palm of his hand.

The level of the players in the game is too far apart, and it is not at the same level at all.

Taking a heavy puff of his cigar and exhaling it, the thick smoke of the cigar lingering around him, Richard's eyes fell once again on the huge map that was more than a man high, and his eyes fell on the Luzon Islands, not far from Paradise Island.

As a medium- and long-term strategic goal, the Luzon Islands are also a prey that the Tang Kingdom needs to attack.

The Luzon Islands, ruled by the Spanish colonizers, covers an area of 299,700 square kilometers and was originally composed of some fragmented island countries, and after the Spanish came here in 1565, they conquered the indigenous kingdoms scattered on the islands one by one, forming the current Luzon Islands Colony.

It's been 291 years.

In 1799, the Spanish colonial government conducted a comprehensive census of the Luzon Islands, which yielded a population of 1.5 million indigenous people, including indigenous people, East Indies, and Chinese immigrants.

Over the past half century, the island's population has grown dramatically from about 2.6 million to 2.7 million.

This little population is not worth mentioning compared to the mainland of China, the Korean Peninsula, the island country of Fuso and the South Seas.

The ultimate reason

It is also due to the low productivity of the local indigenous population, who are not good at farming, and whose food production is so low that they almost rely on the harvest of the sky, wasting the unique climatic and geographical conditions of the Luzon Islands.

All kinds of fruit trees grow lush here, and the natives of the island can eat enough as long as they pick the fruits, and they have no leisure to take care of the farmland, and live a leisurely life all day long.

If the industrious Chinese are allowed to farm, it will not be a problem to increase the grain output of the farmland several times.

Richard was very particular about the areas he chose to expand, following the roadmap of American expansion in his previous life, carefully avoiding sensitive areas of the British, and choosing Spanish colonies, such as the Philippines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico.

Of course, these are medium- and long-term goals, and they should not be considered until at least after the end of the American Civil War.

At this stage, it is enough to stock up on more weapons, equipment and materials, and wait for work.

When the time comes, the Tang Kingdom will appear as a victim and will be in a more advantageous position in international politics.

Britain is the big guy, and the little brother around him has been bullied and invaded, doesn't it mean?

In that case, who wants to mess with him?
