October 21, 1861

Following the Prince's departure last Saturday, Count Juan Carlos, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was at home, received a secret order from His Majesty the Emperor to travel to the Confederate States of America (South) and Europe, with the main destination being to England to meet Her Majesty Queen Victoria and visit the new London Cabinet.

On the battlefield in Ohio

Cleveland, the state's capital on the shores of the Great Lakes, is filled with gunsmoke, and the blackened and dilapidated buildings and rubble of the city show that it was once the site was occupied by the troops of the Tang Empire, after a brutal and bloody battle for the city.

Since March 3, 1861, the new president of the United States of America, Andrew Johnson, has once again carried out a national military mobilization, conscripting 600,000 volunteer militia to join the Northern Army, and the total strength of the Northern Army has swelled to 1.64 million again.

More than half a year has passed

On today's Eastern Front battlefield (the Western Front no longer exists), the United States of America and the Tang Empire have launched 10 large-scale battles, thousands of small and medium-sized battles, and the continuous sound of guns and cannons resounded in Ohio, Georgia, New York, West Virginia and Virginia.

In the past six months or so, the Northern Army has suffered repeated setbacks, with a total of 372,400 casualties among officers and men, a total of less than 1.2 million military personnel, and more than 60,000 white officers and men deserted.

Since the coalition forces focused on killing and injuring a large number of the living forces of the Northern Army, they were not in a hurry to occupy more floors, so they dispersed their forces and adopted a conservative policy of steady and steady attack.

And it is this that makes the United States of America (North) very uncomfortable.

Extreme food shortages have led to mass famine, which has plunged cities and villages into extreme unrest and vicious crime, street robberies and killings have become commonplace, and gangs and police have even turned into small urban wars.

Years of war have plunged factories into closures, staggering inflation has rendered dollar bills worthless, and hundreds of banks and financial firms have closed their doors.

Internal and external troubles have left the government of the United States of America (North) on a stove and scorched to deal with, and further military mobilization is almost impossible.

It's been more than half a year

The coalition camp suffered more than 220,000 casualties, including 137,500 casualties and thousands of deserters in the main battlefield of the Eastern Front, and the total number of troops has been reduced to about 510,000.

The Southern Army of the Tang Empire has entered the Eastern Front and taken over some of the defensive pressure on the Eastern Front, which makes the Confederate States of America finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition, the Tang Empire suffered more than 79,000 casualties, nearly half of which came from white servant troops.

For most of the year, the United States of America (North) had an extremely difficult time, with hundreds of thousands of people dying of hunger and a large number of refugees fleeing to Canada or the South, resulting in a further decline in the total population of the North, which is not far from the population red line of 10 million.

In a small town not far from Cleveland

The headquarters of the Northern Army Corps was located here, and Fan Pengju, who was carrying the rank of brigadier general on his shoulder, was wearing a straight general's uniform, and strode out of the heavily guarded headquarters.

Brigadier General Fan Pengju saw the guards he was familiar with in the carriage, bowed his head slightly, and then stepped into the carriage, which drove forward quickly and soon disappeared.

Today's Brigadier General Fan Pengju has already stepped down from his post as the commander of the 502nd Division and entered the Corps Headquarters as the head of the military order department under the General Staff.

In just three years, he has achieved a take-off in his life. Today's Brigadier General Fan Pengju is one of the rising stars of the Northern Corps, and the process is as unreal as a dream in retrospect.

More than three years ago

Fan Pengju entered the Salt Lake City training base with the rank of captain, and then served as a battalion-level military commander with the rank of major in the expansion, and then rose step by step in one war after another, repeatedly made meritorious deeds, and climbed to today's high position is well deserved.

At the level of brigadier general, Brigadier General Fan Pengju has been promoted beyond promotion.

It is no longer possible to continue to be promoted if you have military merits, but you must grind, that is, you must have 1~3 years of experience in the army staff or corps, 1~3 years of experience in the army school, and more than 3 years of experience in the full-time position of a first-class field division.

Special circumstances

Entering the Imperial Chamberlain and the Military Attache's Office to gild is a very good way to polish and survey, but the general brigadier should not think about it. It was a place where many children of big nobles and families with deep backgrounds flocked to, and the competition was very fierce.

After the above-mentioned evaluations are excellent, there is a vacancy in the army to promote major generals, then only by competing among the qualified brigadier generals can they have the opportunity to seriously step into the ranks of generals and become real senior generals.

In the military ranks of the Tang Empire, the Brigadier General is higher than the rank of colonel, but he is not a real general, and he can be regarded as a reserve general, or a preparatory general, so he is called a "brigadier general".

Not far from the town is a chic manor house that can be found everywhere in the historic state of Ohio, where high-ranking generals like to live in quiet and comfortable, with good privacy.

The main building of the temporary manor where Brigadier General Fan Pengju stayed was not large, it was a two-story wooden building upstairs and above, a typical British style, and there was a squad of personal guards and cavalry, all of whom had followed him for a long time.

The carriage came to a stop in front of the main building of the manor, and Brigadier General Fan Pengju got down from the carriage, and several beautiful white girls had already greeted him, took his precious cane, military hat and handed over a hot towel to wipe his face, and served his master diligently.

These beautiful white girls were not concubines, because Brigadier Fan Pengju was married to the daughter of Count Colt, a Protestant family that only accepted monogamy.

Brigadier General Fan Pengju was originally allowed to take concubines as a Chinese, but he automatically gave up this right, so these beautiful white girls could only follow him unjustly, serving life during the day and warming the bed at night.

Even if a child is born, it is an illegitimate child.

This is also one of the reasons why many Chinese generals are reluctant to marry white women as wives, but instead marry Chinese women as their wives, which is to tarnish the pure blood of the family, second, it is difficult to enjoy the blessings of others, and third, it is not conducive to the family branching out.

Back at home, Brigadier General Fan Pengju washed up briefly, and then came to the study alone and began to write letters.

His letter was addressed to his cousin, Lieutenant General Fan Pengfei, who served as the deputy commander of the Colorado Corps, mainly to the front line of the six Grand Dukes of the royal family, and the Chief of Staff of the Army, Duke Dai Changfu, also followed, taking strict security measures closely.

The eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince all chose to enter the Chang'an Cavalry Corps, because the father and emperor started with the tradition of cavalry, and the young and vigorous princes were naturally not far behind.

Immediately following the 6 Grand Dukes to the front line were dozens of descendants of the top nobles in the empire, all of whom were the roles of His Royal Highness the Duke's side or saddle before and after the horse, which made the Chang'an Corps immediately become hot.

Getting acquainted with your Royal Highness or these children of great nobles will be of great benefit to the future!

Brigadier General Fan Pengju is only 31 years old this year, and even if he is promoted to major general after five or six years of hard work, he is still a member of the young and strong generals, and the future is promising.

His cousin, Lieutenant General Fan Pengfei, is a full 8 years older than him, and he is one of the emerging military bigwigs in the empire, and he is still very effective in speaking at the Army Staff Headquarters, and Fan Pengju also respects this cousin of the same clan very much.

If it weren't for this cousin of the same clan to plan on his behalf, he would be a major at most now, and he would have died as a lieutenant colonel.

If you want to get ahead in the army, in addition to outstanding talents, you can't lack any factor in pre-occupying a place and having someone on top.

The empire now has a total of more than 780,000 military personnel, even if it is one outstanding talent in a million, there are seventy or eighty, how can it be the turn of Brigadier General Fan Pengju to get ahead?

The blocking of this secret letter still wants to be transferred to the Chang'an Legion, whether it is in the staff or headquarters of the Chang'an Legion, it is closer to His Royal Highness the Duke, and there are more opportunities.

And this kind of cross-corps transfer can only be done by military bigwigs who have the right to speak at the Army Staff Headquarters.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and Brigadier General Fan Pengju is such a very thoughtful and intelligent person, who is not only willing to use his brains in battle, good at analyzing and seizing opportunities, but also a delicate and clear person, who can see the general trend clearly.

Today's North American wars have reached this point, in fact, the winners and losers have already been decided.

As for when the war will end?

This depends on the meaning of His Majesty in the Daming Palace, when will the northern Yankees be beaten to the ground, completely destroy their industrial development base and economic structure, and suppress their national development potential, when will they be satisfied...... When will it end.

Brigadier General Fan Pengju quickly wrote thousands of words, and his desire for progress was revealed.

Even if the empire's colonial expansion in North America comes to an end, it is possible that it will expand in South America in the future, and it is no secret that the Army Staff Headquarters already has an expedition to the Pampas Plateau in South America.

If you can win the favor of His Royal Highness the Duke, 3~5 years later or longer, if you can devote yourself to the expedition in South America to make contributions, glorify the ancestors of the Fan family, and earn a great meritorious service, then this life will be worth it.

Every time he thought of this, Brigadier General Fan Pengju's heart became more eager......

The North American War is coming to an end, and more than 130 generals from the Northern Army, the Colorado Army, the Southern Army, and the Chang'an Army are gearing up to make a final meritorious achievement.

After the end of the war, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely have an unprecedented reward of knighthood, can the viscount go further and grant it to the earl? Can the Count go further and grant the Marquis? Can the Marquis go further and grant the Duke? It's up to this final performance.

Everything should be said with military merits and honors, but Brigadier General Fan Pengju saw opportunities in the future.

With his current merits, he will be awarded a baronial title, which will not satisfy his ardent desire to make meritorious contributions.
