After a four-month break, the Northern Corps retired some of the wounded and veterans whose service had expired, and accepted as many as 118,000 new soldiers, including mainland recruits and Kingdom mobilized soldiers.

Before the final East Coast War

The Northern Corps still has the intention to retire some experienced honorary veterans, what kind of immortal operation is this?

As a matter of fact

This stems from the decision of the highest levels of the kingdom to rotate veterans who have served for more than four years in a planned manner, so that they can retire with honor and pride as soldiers, and return to the local area to enjoy a peaceful and respectable life, which is an important measure to stabilize the newly conquered areas.

The vast majority of these retired officers and soldiers are located in the states of Yinlino, Michigan and Missouri, where there are well-equipped farms and ranches, houses and agricultural production facilities.

After the officers and men retire, they can quickly get on the right track of peaceful life by virtue of meritorious fields and preferential loan policies, which is much easier than opening up farmland in the wilderness.

Following the Northern Corps, the Colorado Corps and the Southern Corps will also carry out the work of rehabilitating disabled veterans and officers and men who have served beyond the time limit during the rest and recuperation period, so as to create the best possible conditions for a total of more than 100,000 veterans to return to their localities.

And this is also part of the policy of "vacating the cage for birds", and the placement of these hundreds of thousands of veterans who fanatically revered His Majesty and was loyal to the kingdom on the newly conquered Great Plains of North America would greatly stabilize the local social structure, strengthen the agricultural and industrial production capacity, and quickly revitalize these newly conquered regions.

Today's Tang Kingdom is not short of recruits, in 1861 1~4 months, there have been nearly 100,000 mainland recruits have arrived one after another, and about 55,000 new domestic mobilized conscripts, which is a good supplement to the existing field corps strength, and better than before.

Since the war has always been carried out in the north and south of the United States, and has never affected the territory of the Tang Kingdom, the economy of the Tang Kingdom has maintained rapid development, the society is prosperous and stable, the people's self-confidence is high, and the cohesion and sense of honor of the subjects of the kingdom have been further enhanced.

Until the end of April 1861

The total population of the Tang Kingdom has exceeded 25.2 million, compared with the population of less than 12 million of the United States of America, the other side in the war, the volume is more than twice that of the other party, and the economic output is three times that of the other party, which further highlights the advantage.

At the end of 1858, the population of the Tang Kingdom surpassed that of the United States of America (North), and the total population reached 16.82 million during the statistical period, surpassing the total population of the United States (North) of 16.6 million.

At the end of 1856, the first year of the outbreak of the civil war between the north and the south of the United States, the total population of the United States (North) once reached a peak of 18.1 million.

On January 15, 1860, after the Tang Kingdom officially declared war on the United States (North), it launched a series of fierce offensives, successively crushing and annihilating a number of heavy field groups in the United States (North), and occupying the land of Kyushu (including Indiana) in the Great Plains of the Central United States.

The situation of the North American war was fundamentally reversed, and the United States of America (North), which had seen the dawn of victory, was kicked into the abyss of defeat by the Tang Kingdom and struggled, with more than one million casualties overwhelming it, and more than 1.4 million American refugees went north into Canada.

Combined with the loss of 1.5 to 600,000 people in the occupied central territories, the total population of the United States of America has shrunk sharply to less than 12 million.

Taking advantage of the darkest moment when the land of Shenzhou fell into the turmoil of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Tang Kingdom further steadily increased its efforts to introduce Chinese immigrants, and the population of Chinese immigrants reached a new high.

In 1860, the number of immigrants reached a new high of 1.86 million per year, and the number of new births in the country exceeded 1.59 million per year, and the total population increased again with the addition of 1.37 million white women and hundreds of thousands of white farmers in the occupied areas.

With this increase and decrease, the advantages of the Tang Kingdom are more prominent.

It was on the basis of strong confidence in winning the war that King Richard suppressed the opposition of the military and insisted on promoting the retirement of disabled veterans and veterans who had overstayed their service as scheduled.

On the one hand, the presence of a large number of populated towns in the occupied areas is very conducive to the fulfillment of military rewards, without putting heavy economic pressure on the kingdom, and it is very cost-effective from an economic point of view.

On the other hand, it is for the sake of stabilizing social production and living conditions in the occupied territories.

Having retired veterans serve as local village chiefs, town mayors, police officers, and squire estate owners will bring about a radical change in the social structure that will help the Great Plains of Central North America integrate into the empire as soon as possible, which is beneficial.

King Richard was very shrewd in this calculation, and after starting the process of selling assets in Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee and other big cities, the royal government obtained hundreds of millions of large revenues, which not only made up for the huge financial deficit, but also had a large surplus.

To put it simply, it's making money, and it's making a lot of money.

This can make Prime Minister Yoo Hyun-kun's happy mouth can't even close his mouth. In the future, the government will also receive a steady stream of industrial and commercial tax revenues for the operation of these cities, further strengthening the kingdom's financial strength.

The Tang royal family also benefited a lot, the front-line officers and soldiers through the merit of the field to cash out the city property, the royal government did not take out cash to deal with the government, but directly relied on the strategic reserve investment that lasted for more than ten years, and a large amount of money invested after the outbreak of the North American war was offset by the balance.

Not only were the accounts leveled, but there were also a large number of fixed assets in the accounts of the royal house, including properties and buildings in the prime district and large tracts of undeveloped land, which belonged to the royal family from the war.

When the war was fought to this extent, the government and royal family of the Tang Kingdom, as well as the army and even the common people in society, benefited extensively, and only the United States of America suffered, which is really an out-and-out injustice.

Under the condition that the occupied areas quickly restore the vitality of production, the economic aggregate of the Tang Kingdom in 1861 will rise to a higher level, and the gross national product may rise to the range of 27~2.8 billion Tang Yuan, which will skyrocket compared with the total amount of 2.2 billion Tang Yuan in 1860.

The immediate cause is;

The 1861 statistics will include the output of the eight central states of North America, and the eight central states have received 1.56 million Chinese immigrants in a year and a half, far exceeding the original projected size of one million immigrants.

This year, 163,000 retired veterans will be resettled, and no less than 250,000 will be resettled in the next two years, and more immigrants will settle in the central states of North America.

Until April 1861

The population of Detroit had recovered to 310,000, a few steps closer to the 380,000 it had before the war, the industrial and commercial economy had recovered seven-and-a-half times, and trade with British Canadians had become extensive.

There is only one;

Even before the canal issue was addressed, international trade to Europe through the Toronto Canal came to a standstill, which cost the British a large amount of transit tax revenue, and also restricted Detroit's development prospects and space.

By April 1861, Chicago's population had recovered to 469,000, more than 90 percent of whom were Chinese immigrants. The city's post-war cement factories, brick factories and building materials and sanitary ware business is booming, and 11 cement factories have settled in Chicago, and there are more than 150 brick and tile factories.

Today, Chicago has entered a stage of comprehensive reconstruction, the city is full of construction sites and scaffolding, Chinese businessmen in coastal areas have flocked in, large and small factories have re-emitted black smoke, and the entire city has recovered about 40%.

In time

Chicago and its surrounding towns will be the new hotspot for immigrants from Central North America, and in a few years' time, a million-strong metropolis with an overwhelming Chinese population will be proud to dominate the Great Lakes region of Central North America.

The government of the Tang Kingdom steadily promoted the governance and continuous migration in the Great Plains of Central North America, and at the same time carried out a large-scale reinstatement of officers and soldiers, chewing and swallowing this vast and fertile black land, and completely digesting it......

As a result, military action has been much slower.

In addition to the Cincinnati Campaign carried out by the Colorado Corps in the new year, it is also necessary to count the raids and harassment operations of the Chang'an Cavalry Corps, which continuously sent cavalry to burn and loot in the northern states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, as if entering a no-man's land, bringing a deep war disaster to the northern United States, and further driving a large number of refugees to flee north to Canada.

The U.S. Northern Army also tried its best to organize cavalry to encircle and intercept it, but it was repeatedly deflated in the face of the cuirassier heavy cavalry and ferocious firepower of the Chang'an Corps, and even accidentally lured into the encirclement, encountering intensive casualties from heavy machine gun fire and cavalry counterattack, and the casualties were quite heavy.

According to the estimation of the Army Staff Headquarters of the Tang Kingdom;

By the end of June 1861, two months later, the population of the United States of America was expected to be further reduced to less than 11 million by a wave of mass starvation in the northern United States.

The recruitment of 600,000 volunteer militia will further shake the foundation of the United States of America, and with a total population of 11 million, maintaining an army of 1.6 million and a staggering number of people serving the war effort, it will cause violent social turmoil and greatly weaken its national strength.

In towns and villages large and small in the eastern states of the United States, you can see old and weak women and children everywhere, and young men between the ages of 16 and 50 are rarely seen, and most of them serve in the military.

The unprecedented and tragic Civil War caused the disappearance of two generations of young and middle-aged men in the North and South of the United States, and had a profound impact on the entire society.

Without the large number of young and middle-aged people from Europe, these two countries would be useless.

Richard knew it wasn't that simple;

In the original history, in less than 40 years between now and the beginning of the 20th century, the total number of European immigrants to the United States was about 36 million to 40 million, with an average of about 850,000 to 1.1 million per year, and a maximum of more than 1.5 million per year.

It was these white immigrants from Europe who created the glory of the United States, which is a mighty historical tide, and also stems from the profound historical and practical contradictions of European countries, which are easy to change.

The comprehensive suppression of the United States is far from a simple matter.

From now on

After winning the war, if the Tang Kingdom successfully cedes the states in the central North America, it will establish a geographical territory that meets the expectations of the Tang Kingdom.

Then, without the fertile black soil of central North America, the United States of America will forever lose its foundation for becoming a world agricultural power, and will become an importer of food, agricultural and animal products for a long time to come.

However, after the loss of Chicago and Detroit, which are important industrial cities of the Great Lakes, the United States of America (North) is left with Pittsburgh, New York, Boston and Philadelphia as the core of the eastern industrial area, which is far inferior to the Great Lakes region in terms of industrial scale, types and resources, and lacks industrial development potential and stamina.

Under the leadership of today's Chang'an Cavalry Corps, it has continuously sent cavalry to invade Pittsburgh and other places, set fire to the manor factories, killed and injured a large number of local resistance forces, and abducted young white women, dealing a heavy blow to its industrial and social production.

Some places further afield

This is difficult to deal with due to the heavy military accumulation in the north of the United States, and it has not been taken into account for the time being.

This will have to wait until the Northern Corps and the Colorado Corps join forces and fight deep into the eastern states of the United States to carry out a devastating blow to the industrial base of the North of the United States, destroy its fledgling signs of industrialization, and re-enter it into the old path of the agricultural era.

In terms of the overall strategy toward the United States, Richard always regarded the North as a mortal enemy, and would weaken the North by supporting the South, and control the North through financial and economic means after the war, destroy its industrial production capacity through the dumping of industrial products, occupy its market, and reduce it to the role of an economic puppet.

Even if the rise of the United States of America cannot be completely suppressed, it will be greatly slowed down, say 50 or 80 years or more.

At this stage

Richard also faced pressure from allies, with Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Confederate Army Commander-in-Chief General Robert Lee arriving in Chang'an in mid-April with a large delegation to discuss the Alliance's overall operational intentions for the year.

This is the meaning on the surface, but the secret meaning is that the United States of America (South) is unable to bear it, and hopes to join forces with the Tang Kingdom to launch a decisive battle as soon as possible, defeat the United States of America (North) in one fell swoop, and extricate itself from the quagmire of war.

For the US allies (South), the all-out war has entered its fifth year, and they have really struggled very hard!

The young and the young were almost gone, and the young and old soldiers of the Southern army had almost exhausted the potential for re-enlistment, so that they had to turn their minds to the white captives.

Every time the Chang'an Corps attacked in the north, the U.S. Confederate countries demanded that part of the male population be taken back from captivity, and General Hill, the representative of the Southern Army, sent troops to guard Romules County, south of Detroit.

Whenever the troops sent by the Chang'an Cavalry Regiment returned with a large number of people, General Hill's soldiers would happily go forward and take away the young and middle-aged white males, most of whom would be stuffed into the army in one go, and the eliminated population would be used for manor labor.

At the very least, you can take care of the black slaves, right?

After five years of brutal war, the original population of more than 9 million in the Confederate States of America has also shrunk greatly, and the number of black slaves who fled north has reached between 130~1.45 million, and there are more than 100,000 black slaves who have suffered cruel abuse to death, which has reduced the original population of nearly 4 million black slaves to more than 2.4 million, which may be lower than this number.

Coupled with the 72~750,000 young and middle-aged white male population killed and wounded in the 5-year war, the total population of the Confederate States of America (South) today is less than 6.5 million, of which the front-line army will occupy more than 700,000. The city and countryside are desolate, and there are only more than 2.3 million white women, women and children and almost the same number of black slaves left.

Cotton production, the backbone of the economy, was less than half of what it had been in its heyday, vast tracts of cotton fields were deserted and uncultivated, and many white farmers had their entire families wiped out.

How can you survive like this?

Chang'an, Daming Palace

King Richard met with Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, and General Robert Lee, Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate Army, in a peaceful atmosphere, in a peaceful atmosphere, he said;

"For the concerns of the allies, the Tang Kingdom has attached great importance to it, and the Army Staff Headquarters has carried out a comprehensive and thorough study on this, and conducted many sand table deduction verifications, but the results obtained are not satisfactory.

Now that the new government of the United States of America (North) has come to power, President Andrew Johnson is ambitiously prepared to take on us again, and it will be difficult for them to throw in the towel easily without suffering a heavy blow.

It should be seen

Our enemy is suffering from serious internal and external troubles, and taking the initiative to launch a large-scale decisive battle before July will help the United States of America (North) to divert its internal contradictions and unite the people with the will to resist aggression, but it is not beautiful.

With the size of the enemy today, it is unlikely that a single military hit will kill you.

At this point

General Robert Lee should have a lot of say, and I'd like to hear what you think......"

Above the main hall

King Richard asked with a pleasant face, pushing the question onto the commander-in-chief of the Confederate Army, Admiral Robert Lee.

Richard looked at the problem from the perspective of the overall national struggle in North America, and was not limited to the suffering of the people in the South.

After calling the name, Admiral Robert Lee stood up respectfully, put his right hand on his chest and bowed deeply, and said;

"Your Majesty the King;

On behalf of all the officers and men of the Southern Army, I would like to express my most sincere respect to you, after arriving in Chang'an, we saw the magnificent city and the prosperous economy, all of which made us deeply envious, and felt the strong prosperity of the Tang Kingdom.

As allies mired in war, we look forward to ending this painful process as soon as possible, and with the strong support of the Tang Kingdom's army, we are finally seeing the dawn of victory.

This shows that all our efforts are worth it.

As the war enters its fifth year, the Confederate (Southern) government and society have given so much to win the war that they are on the verge of collapse, and this is why we are anxious to put an end to it.

From a purely military point of view;

Although the north has been defeated, it still has spare strength, and the move of re-recruiting 600,000 volunteer militia can be seen that the old man in the north has not given up, and still wants to fight to the death.

But we can't hold it anymore, the huge consumption of the battlefield on the Eastern Front is like a grinding plate of flesh and blood, with an average of more than 300 casualties every day, which is seriously eroding our national strength, and the casualties of the young and middle-aged population are more than sixty percent.

I beg your Majesty to send an army to join us on the Eastern Front and help us share the burden of war until the time comes to win the final victory.

Only in this way can we persevere to the end. ”

"Yes, this king can strengthen the Southern Corps to 200,000 people, join the Eastern Front battlefield through railway transfer, and support allies in the war." King Richard readily agreed.

Continuing the process of war is the royal way, and it is the royal way to consume the national strength of the United States and the North and the South, and as for paying more, it is all a trivial matter, which is not within the scope of the discussion of the kingdom's high-level leaders.

When the Southern Army entered the Eastern Front, it fought alongside its white allies in the Confederate States of America (South), and this blood-cemented friendship crossed races and countries, making it easier to remember and integrate.

For Richard, what if the entire Southern Army was given to the Confederate States of America (South)?

What cannot be changed is blood and skin color, what cannot be changed is culture, vernacular and religion, and the fact that the Southern Army is part of the Chinese population.

If he really integrates into the mainstream society of the South, it is conducive to strengthening the sincere friendship cemented by the blood of the two sides, which is also a situation he is willing to see.

Hearing King Richard's generous promise, President Jefferson Davis and the delegation from the South stood up with excitement and bowed deeply to the throne.

President Jefferson Davis said gratefully;

"On behalf of the war-torn people of the South, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Your Majesty for his assistance that is more precious than gold, which gives us the confidence to defeat the hateful old of the North and usher in the day when the blood debt will finally be settled.

The southern government also wants to hold in-depth talks with the government of the Tang Kingdom to bring in no less than 500,000 Chinese immigrants to participate in the economic reconstruction process in the south.

The war has deprived many white families of males, and these families are in dire need of a breadwinner, and we can only turn to our allies for a valuable helping hand, and we will be grateful. ”

"How is this year's immigration plan being implemented? Is there still a huge labor gap between urban and rural areas? Richard did not respond immediately, but turned his head and asked the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Lord Yoo Hyun-jun.

Prime Minister Yoo Hyun-jun stood up and replied after giving a deep bow;

"In recent years, the introduction of a large number of immigrants from the mainland has greatly alleviated the labor gap in the western coastal cities, and the demand is not strong in the orderly progress of the resettlement and reclamation plans in the eastern and central regions. Requests from allies could be considered as appropriate, but further details are needed on funding arrangements and volumes. ”

"Well, try to arrange it on your behalf, strengthening the southern allies will help to jointly deal with our enemies, and this will be the long-term strategic pattern of North America." Richard thought it over and then decided.

The Chinese population immigrating to the southern United States is not suitable for new immigrants, because these new immigrants have not yet formed loyalty and cohesion to the Tang Kingdom, nor have they experienced the friendliness of the Tang Kingdom to Chinese immigrants.

In this way, it is easy to be co-opted by the old man in the south and become a yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana man.

A better way should be for the people at the bottom of the domestic society, who are temporarily unable to solve their personal marriage problems due to their meager income, and have no vocational skills, so they just mobilize immigrants to the South of the United States to be door-to-door sons-in-law, and the house, wife, and manor are all solved, and maybe the children are ready-made, as long as they continue to export their reproductive ability.

usually helps with farm work, anyway, men always have the strength to stand up to the door.

In addition, it is a better choice to have a higher sense of identity with the kingdom and get closer to the Tang Kingdom from the heart.

The jobs of immigrants at the bottom of the society can be easily replaced by new immigrants, and in the current environment of large migration waves, it will not affect the domestic economic development, which is a relatively safe choice.
