Richard will not agree to any of these unreasonable requests mentioned by Prime Minister Temple, but he will not refuse them bluntly, just play Tai Chi and drag his hands, which the Chinese are very good at.

Taking advantage of the backwardness of today's messaging, it took nearly a month for a transatlantic letter to be exchanged, and after a few tai chi fights, it dragged on until 1861......

International politics is not a matter of gambling, nor is it a matter of competing for a short period of time, but weighing the pros and cons to make the right decision that is most in line with the national interest.

Don't lose your temper because of anger, don't make mistakes because of anger, and don't raise troops because of anger, that's the next strategy.

If a mad dog like Prime Minister Temple barks wildly, you can't bite him a few times, and it's not worth it if you are nagged with two paws!

Richard is now ruled by the mighty Tang Kingdom, with a total population of more than 21 million (Note; At the end of 1859, the statistics were 19.37 million. With such a big family business, you can't act recklessly.

It was already the end of September 1860, and Richard was not prepared to reply immediately, so it was okay to delay it for two or three weeks.

It was easy to reply to Queen Victoria's letter, and it was nothing more than a nice remark that as a loyal and humble vassal of Her Majesty, he would like to see the British Empire play an irreplaceable leadership role in world affairs, including those of the Americas.

This is the right attitude and Her Majesty will surely be satisfied.

The rest will talk about the solemn promise that the Tang Kingdom will be rooted in North America, develop in North America, and not pursue a complete unification of North America, giving Queen Victoria a reassurance.

The expansion of the Tang Kingdom is indeed quite terrifying, and the appetite of the whale swallowing is so great that it will inevitably make the British suspicious.

If the Tang Kingdom really intends to unify North America, it is completely foreseeable that the British and French powers will jointly organize an expeditionary force with a probability of more than 9 percent, and it will be a war on a much larger scale than it is today, and there will be no final winner.

Someone has a question?

At this time in the North American war, there is no strong willingness of Britain, France and other world powers to intervene, is this speculation a bit alarmist?

In fact, not at all, Richard's mysterious premonition knew the great danger of this choice, as if standing on the edge of a cliff in a force 12 gale, blowing the whole person to the ground, and at any moment there was a danger of falling into the abyss and falling to pieces.

National integration is extremely difficult, and England and Scotland have been co-rulers for more than 700 years, and they are still distinct.

King Henry VIII ruled Ireland in 1541 and served as King of Ireland, but no Englishman still thinks that Ireland is English, and Ireland will always be Irish.

The British Canadian colony of Quebec, a French-American colony, began its quest for independence 100 years ago and remains so 100 years later.

The Tang Kingdom is not strong enough to fight against the entire white world, if it really swallows the United States of America in one bite, does the Tang Kingdom have the ability to digest more than 16 million white people?

In fact, it is absolutely impossible, and it is impossible for the Tang Kingdom to adopt a brutal enslavement policy similar to that of the indigenous Indians against the whites, which will inevitably lead to the hostility of the entire white Christian world, affecting for 100 years or more.

It was not only holding a huge coal basin, but also holding a huge thunder, once it broke out, it could blow up the newly born Tang Kingdom at any time, and there would be no bones left.

How stupid does a person have to be to be so greedy?

Sum up

From the beginning to the present, Richard has well controlled his expansion ambitions, and has stayed in the west of Indiana, which includes the core essence of the Great Lakes centered on Chicago and Detroit, and the vast geographical scope of about 7~8 states, which is enough to meet the goal of the Tang Kingdom to establish the foundation of the North American hegemony.

In the post-war period, the South and North sides of the United States were dominated by weakening and separating each other, supplemented by financial penetration and economic control, supplemented by soft means such as cultural influence, which could also achieve the goal of dominating North America.

Having answered Her Majesty Queen Victoria's concerns, it would be simple to deal with Prime Minister Temple, one word "drag".

Wait for change by procrastination, use the word "delay" to gain time for military expansion, strive for favorable bargaining chips and momentum, and strive to defeat the northern ...... first

Michigan east of Chicago

After the occupation of Chicago, the Northern Army and the Colorado Army parted ways, each attacking in different directions, and began to invade the Great Plains of the central United States on a large scale, and implemented further whale swallowing plans.

The Northern Corps, which was originally heavily gathered, was disintegrated and divided into 3~4 divisions as an independent campaign unit, called the "army", which was divided into the first army to the 5th army, and swept all the way across the eastern plains.

From August to early October, it basically occupied most of Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, and Indiana, and pushed the front to the line from Detroit to Cincinnati on the Mississippi River.

In addition, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Wisconsin, which were previously in the bag, have occupied more than ninety percent of the entire Central Great Plains (Northern Union) of the United States, and the only thing missing is Detroit, the capital of Michigan.

Detroit is a city on the border between the United States and Canada, and the largest city in Michigan, only 333 kilometers from Toronto, the largest city in British Canada.

on the U.S.-Canada border

After the 502nd Division, which was part of the Second Army, had swept through the border town of Cambert, a group of Canadian cavalry appeared in the distance ahead, crossed the stream that marked the border between the two countries and came to the hill, looking at the town with a cautious gaze.

After hearing the report of his subordinates, Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju immediately mounted his horse, took the cavalry of the guard company and rushed out of the town, and galloped away with the other party.

When the two sides approached to a range of more than 200 meters, Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju took out his pistol and fired six shots in a row at the sky, and the crisp sound of bullets resounded through the sky, bringing a murderous aura to his face.

The two sides approached until more than 30 meters before they began to slow down, and the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom almost rushed into the ranks of the Canadian Mounted Police, frightening these white Canadians to retreat again and again.

"Get out of here Canadians at once, or I will arrest you for crossing the border without permission, and if you resist, you will be killed, this is the last grave warning." Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju shouted loudly, his tone was very stern.

This made the faces of the two dozen Canadian Mounted Police officers ugly, said an officer with the rank of second lieutenant; "Sir, you should understand who you are talking to, we are the Royal British Canadian Mounted Police and should be treated with respect in all circumstances. We are carrying out routine border patrol duties, so please do not provoke conflict. ”

"You've crossed the line, idiot." Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju rode on his horse, took out the bullet and loaded it into the pistol in a hurry, and said while loading the bullet; "You still have time to turn around and go back, and when I'm done loading, I'll shoot your dog's head with one shot, and then you go to hell to reason."

"You ......"

The second lieutenant's face turned pale, but looking at Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju's cold eyes, it was an awe-inspiring murderous aura rolling out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and it made people's backs cold.

Nor did he dare to say more, for the terrible Oriental officer was almost full of bullets, and he had no doubt that he would do what he said.

So the white lieutenant turned around and waved his hand, and said hurriedly; "They're all crazy, let's go."

The white lieutenant led more than twenty horsemen to hurriedly turn their horses' heads, rode their horses in the direction of Canada, and soon crossed the shallow stream back to the northern side, and then stopped with a look of resentment.

Who knew that Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju laughed heartily, inserted the pistol into the holster with a calm expression, sat on the horse elegantly and saluted, and said; "Hahaha...... There was a little misunderstanding just now, presumably Mr. Second Lieutenant will not go to his heart, now I would like to formally introduce myself, Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju, commander of the 502nd Division of the Second Army of the Northern Corps, it is a pleasure to meet you, my Canadian colleagues. ”

His face changed so quickly that the white lieutenant felt a little confused, and he looked left and right at the confirmed eyes of his companions, and then said with a look of shame; "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, the unhappiness that happened just now is really impressive, I am Second Lieutenant Michael Ney, Captain of the Second Squadron of the Seventh Squadron of the Toronto Royal Mounted Police Brigade, and I hope you can have an explanation for your rude behavior."

"There is no explanation."

"Watts (what)?" The white lieutenant showed a bewildered black question mark face.

"You see the situation is like this, when you cross the border, as an officer who shoulders the responsibility of defending the homeland and the country, I will not hesitate to raise my gun and explode your dog's head, so that your corpses will rot and ferment in this fertile land, and it will be useless for God to come." Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju's face remained unchanged and put down the cruel words, but his face became kind again, and he spread his hands and continued;

"There is an old proverb in the East; He who does not know is not guilty. I can forgive you for this first crossing, but there will never be a next one. Now that Mr. Ensign and your companion are back on the Canadian side, we can begin a friendly meeting. Topics can be broader, from brown bears you meet on patrol roads to dates with pretty girls at night. ”

Talking about your sister?

The white lieutenant's face darkened, he had never encountered such a tough and difficult opponent, the original American militia were very talkative, and even if the Canadian Mounted Police went to Cambert Town for recreation, no one would say anything.

The two places will be very convenient to travel back and forth, and even many Canadians have relatives and friends in Cambert Town, and the two sides move around like neighbors, and it is common to sit down and have a beer in a tavern if they have nothing to do.

Therefore, the concept of national borders has been left behind by them, completely unaware of their crossing.

But now everything has changed, and the fierce Orientals have arrived, occupied and ruled the region, and it is no longer possible to cross the border as freely as before.

"This gives me a very bad feeling, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, and I will report everything I see to the Peak, and I hope you will be kind to those people in the small town of Cambert, many of them are our family and friends, the kind we have known since childhood."

"Take care of your own affairs, Mr. Ensign, if you don't want a border conflict between the two sides, you must strictly restrain your subordinates not to cross the border, otherwise there will be no mercy, this is my solemn promise to you."

"I'll keep that in mind and report it, and I hope you continue to be tough as always."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ensign, the Yankees did the same thing to me when I was in Chicago, and now they are all lining up to go to hell, and I don't want you to be next."

"Let's stop talking, it's too bad." The white lieutenant could not continue the conversation, and shouted with a hard bang on the horse's belly with both feet; "Drive ......", the horse that sat down immediately rushed out and galloped away at high speed in the northeast direction.

He glanced at the murderous Oriental soldiers with complicated expressions on the faces of the mounted policemen under his command, and then rode away and disappeared into the distant broad-leaved forest path.

"Master, there won't be any problems with blocking them back so strongly, right?" Lieutenant Hu Dachuan, the commander of the guard company, came up and asked with some concern.

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju glanced at the north with contempt, sat on his horse and replied proudly; "These ghosts have always bullied the soft and afraid of the hard, and they dare to open a dye shop when they are given three colors, how can I be in the mood to serve them? If you dare to provoke Lao Tzu and chop off their heads directly, if you are in trouble, the chief will naturally face it, and we are not used to these bad problems. ”

"And over town?"

"Catch what should be caught, grab what should be robbed, our army is not a good church, there is a white family in this town, almost every family has someone in the northern army as a soldier, is it wronged to arrest them?"

"Master, if you explain it like this, we'll have a number."

"Give me a little smarter, all the strong white men are incorporated into the baggage regiment, and when the time comes, the training and training will be able to go to the battlefield, don't forget that Detroit will be fought at the bottom, our 502nd Division will inevitably rush to the front, and the more cannon fodder brothers will lose less, this truth must be explained to everyone clearly."

"I didn't say it, which of these ghosts doesn't have a white man's blood debt in his hands? As long as they put on our military uniforms, they can only go all the way to the dark and follow us in the future, how to do it They understand. ”

"Just your kid is clever, let's go, go back and see ......"

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju scolded with a smile, and then rode towards the small town of Cumbert, there were people talking and laughing along the way and they were not in a hurry, anyway, there was no urgent combat mission during this time.

If you want to play Detroit, it will be almost after mid-November.

So-called; The ass determines the attitude.

Since Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju was the commander of the 502nd Division, he knew that the attack mission of the Second Army would definitely be the 502nd Division, a white servant division that would go first, and casualties would be inevitable.

Therefore, when carrying out the task of clearing towns and towns, he recruited thousands of strong white men to join the baggage regiment, and trained in his spare time, and kept grasping quite tightly.

This led to more than 4,700 people in the baggage regiment of the 502nd Division, and these people had to be raised by the 502nd Division, so when they cleared the townships and towns, they were a little more ruthless, and they collected a lot of extra food and civilian weapons or something, so they couldn't let these white cannon fodder go to the battlefield empty-handed, right?

Anyway, these white cannon fodder are not compiled, and if they die on the battlefield, they will die, and they don't even need statistics.

If the 502nd Division has combat attrition, it can also be quickly replenished to restore its strength. When it comes to combat, it bears the brunt of the battle, and it can be said that it can be counted in one fell swoop.

This approach of the 502nd Division is not unusual, and there are more or less similar situations in other white servant divisions, but it is not as many people as the 502nd Division captures, and it is almost half the strength of the division.

Anyway, Shangfeng turned a blind eye, and when he was fighting, he just had to be able to complete the task, and he wouldn't be too strict with the white servant division.
