Prime Minister Yoo Hyun-jun talked for a while, and then left with a respectful expression. He was very busy with his affairs, and in the next two days he had to take a special train back to the imperial capital of Chang'an to solve a series of cumbersome government affairs.

With this large shield, Richard was really much more relaxed.

Getting him out of cumbersome government affairs, he can focus his attention on the important affairs of the current North American war, and there are two major problems to be solved at the moment;

One is the upcoming Battle of Cincinnati by the Colorado Corps, and the other is a request just made by the US Confederates to transfer the captured 123,000 Northern Army to them to replenish the existing urgently needed forces.

Let's start with the first question, which is the Battle of Cincinnati, which the Colorado Corps has been preparing for a long time.

Due to the logistical constraints of the kingdom, the important Northern Railway has not yet been completed and put into use, and the current railway transportation cannot support more than 550,000 troops to launch a large-scale campaign at the same time.

Therefore, the Northern Corps took the lead in launching the Battle of Detroit, and after the victory was established, the whole army entered a rest, and then launched a siege campaign step by step.

After the war in the north ended

The Colorado Corps in the south will launch a new campaign of Cincinnati, and the focus of military transport will shift to the south to ensure the smooth running of the campaign.

Cincinnati is an important industrial city and river port in the southwestern tip of Ohio in the central part of the United States, and it is also a fortress-type city painstakingly managed by the United States of America (North) with strong barriers.

Located on the north bank of the top of the North Bend of the Ohio River, near the junction of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, the United States of America (North) spent a lot of money to build a series of defensive forts in Cincinnati in order to defend against the serious threat of the Tang Kingdom, trying to make it a steel fortress in the middle.

With an area of 202 square kilometers and a population of 260,000, Cincinnati is located in a flat basin surrounded by hills on three sides, where the Great, Lesser Miami and Ohio rivers meet.

The first Europeans settled in Cincinnati in 1788, established a city in 1819, and gradually became a major river port and commercial center in the Midwest of the United States after 1827 with the construction of the Miami Canal and the Ohio-Lake Erie River.

Due to the construction of the railroad, the city developed rapidly and became one of the earliest industrial cities in the Midwest of the United States. Because of the convenient transportation and the huge annual pig trading volume, it is also known as the "pig capital".

Cincinnati's unique geography makes it a fortress-like city with its urban areas concentrated in small valleys and surrounding hillsides.

The Americans built numerous fortifications and defensive walls along the valley terrain, and set up permanent fortifications and large batteries along the Miami Canal and Lake Erie, making the entire city fortified and becoming another solid pillar on the Detroit ~ Cincinnati defense line.

If the Battle of Detroit is the final battle of the second phase, then the Battle of Cincinnati is the opening battle that opened the third phase of the offensive of the Tang Kingdom.

Cincinnati now has 170,000 U.S. troops, and the possibility of a rapid increase in strength as the situation changes, is another tough nut to crack.

After a moment's consideration, Richard decided not to approve the Colorado Corps' scheduled campaign for January 16, 1861, and to postpone it for a while.

The campaign was launched only a month ago, which is still too hasty.

As the head of a country, Richard will not consider the problem from the perspective of the Colorado Corps, but will stand at the peak of the situation in the whole of North America and watch the world situation from the sidelines.

In the second phase of the war, the Tang Kingdom swallowed up the vast land of the seven central states of the United States of America, dozens of large and small cities, and hundreds of towns and towns.

From another point of view, appropriately delaying the process of the war will help the United States and the North and the South to deplete more population and resources, and will be more conducive to the Tang Kingdom to dominate the situation in North America after the war and infiltrate and control these two countries through financial and trade means.

Sum up

Richard believed that it would be more appropriate for the war to continue for more than half a year to a year, and that it would be better to extend it for a while, and that it would be disadvantageous to end the war early.

With large tracts of fertile agricultural and pastoral land in central China occupied by the Tang Kingdom, the traditional agricultural states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri were all under military occupation, making it impossible to supply large quantities of agricultural and animal husbandry products to the northern government.

For several months, the United States of America (North) today has experienced severe food supply difficulties, famine has spread in small and medium-sized cities, and many urban civilians have died from starvation and unstable crimes.

British Canada did not have the capacity to feed the food needs of a country of 12 million people, and as a large number of Americans fled into Canada, the pressure on its own food supply increased, and food aid to the United States of America (North) was drastically reduced.

A food crisis of unprecedented scale is brewing that will soon spread throughout the United States of America, leading to a dramatic decline in the population and the deprivation of livelihoods.

This situation, which made Richard feel regretful, can only be said to be a side effect of the war.

The second was the request of the Federal States of the Southern States to transfer 123,000 white prisoners.

Richard considered it and decided;

Transfers can be transferred, after all, allies, but the number can't be more than half.

This is because after the Battle of Chicago, one white servant division attached to each army of the Northern Corps suffered the most serious casualties, and there were five white servant divisions in five corps, all of which required a large replenishment of troops, which could only be solved from these white prisoners.

It is said that the 506th Division, which belongs to the Fourth Army, suffered more than 11,000 casualties, and only more than 4,000 soldiers retreated.

Immediately the siege battle began, and the tragic street battles in the city didn't need white cannon fodder?

After considering it thoroughly, Richard decided to allocate a third of the captives, probably more than 40,000 white prisoners, and the rest to be considered as appropriate.

If there is, pull out more, and if not, pull down.

Let's be honest

The current Southern Confederate countries are really miserable, basically young men from 13 to 55 years old carry guns and go to the battlefield, and to be able to maintain the current total size of the army of 83 people is already to use all the strength to eat.

Men are now a scarce resource in the South, and President Jefferson Davis of the United States has set his mind on the young and vigorous Chinese immigrants, and the two countries are negotiating about it.

If Chinese immigrants take the Central Pacific Migration Route and land from Paradise Island to Panama, after 78 kilometers of rail connection, Chinese immigrants can easily reach the ports in the southern United States by sea and can quickly integrate into society.

There are a large number of ready-made houses, ready-made women, ready-made land estates and job opportunities in the South, as long as you arrive in the South, you are a proper winner in life.

The four-year war cost the Confederate States of America (South) as many as 530,000 white young men, almost an entire generation.

The white soldiers in the south who are still fighting on the battlefield today rarely see young and middle-aged men between the ages of 18~26, either middle-aged and elderly whites between the ages of twenty-seven or eighteen and 55, or white males between the ages of thirteen and fourteen and 18.

During the period when the Sherman Legion and the Brown Legion were ravaging the South, millions of black slaves fled north, which caused unimaginable losses to the economy of the South with cotton plantations as the core and the large white slave owners, totaling as high as 10~1.2 billion Tang Yuan.

A large number of fields in the southern part of the United States are barren, and cotton production has been cut in half compared with the peak, and this part of the gap is made up by cotton plantations in Chihuahua in the south of the Tang Kingdom, which has also led to the continuous rise in international cotton prices.

Hey, it's not easy!

Richard waved happily, and two huge and colorful white tigers obediently ran to his side, crouched beside Richard, and sent their big heads to a very convenient position for their owners to pet the tigers.

Richard was holding a pet tiger in one hand and smoking a cigar in the other, and his mood was quite wow!

The two colorful tigers grew so big, but they looked at the lit cigars pitifully from time to time, and they looked frightened and didn't dare to resist, for fear that the cigarette butts would fall on their heads.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Northern Corps presented 50 show girls and a group of treasures to show filial piety, this batch of antiques has been loaded on the special train, and they will leave for the Chang'an court in the afternoon. And these 50 show girls, you see ......"

"Leave 10 smart and dexterous servants to serve the imperial front, and the rest follow Zhen Yu back to the Chang'an court. As soon as the matter of reward is handled, the Secretariat is concerned about it, and there is no need to ask for instructions. ”

"Wechen obeys." After Viscount Dong Jie replied respectfully, he quietly retreated.

These 50 white show girls are all the best girls carefully selected by the Northern Corps when they were clearing the place, and their appearance is naturally beautiful and extraordinary, and they are all perfect, and there will be no omissions after repeated verification.

A division only has the opportunity to offer such a show girl or two, naturally it is to keep improving, if it can really be favored by the emperor, and have another man and half a woman, wouldn't it be developed in the future?

Dong Jie, the head of the secretariat, hurriedly retreated, he wanted to quickly select ten white girls with bumpy bodies to serve the emperor according to His Majesty's favorite taste, with good skin, long legs, and excellent appearance.

There is no trivial matter related to His Majesty, and he must personally check it to rest assured.

Now that the cabinet has been re-elected, the former prime minister, Count Gu Yan, has been reappointed as the speaker of the House of Nobles, and the new government has been served as the prime minister by Yoo Hyun-jun, who won the election.

Viscount Dong Jie has been serving by His Majesty's side for seven years, and His Majesty has recently shown a little bit of a tone, and it is estimated that he will soon be released to sit on one side and accumulate local qualifications.

At this critical time, we must be more cautious in our words and deeds, and we must not make mistakes or omissions.

The most important local position in the kingdom is the high-ranking official in California, Chang'an City and Los Angeles are located in this province, which is the most core and elite province of the Tang Kingdom, and the scorpion ~ is the only one in the country.

Next is the top Illinois officials, because Chicago is located in the province, and half of the industrial elite cities of the Great Lakes are also located in the province, which has been badly damaged by the war, and there is still a long way to go to regroup.

Restoring the vitality of industrial development in Chicago and the Great Lakes region to what it used to be is a challenging task for senior Illinois officials.

If this is done well, the next prime minister is expected to ......

Generally speaking

His Majesty the King will always ask for his intentions in important appointments, and Dong Jie has made up his mind to challenge the important mission of high-ranking officials in Illinois.

It is easier to make achievements in this position, so that you can show more creativity and leadership, and let Your Majesty see your outstanding talents.

Speaking from the heart, who hasn't pursued it?
