The British Empire was the first country in the world to start the industrialization of steam, leading a series of major inventions in the steam industry, and was the most developed country in the world, known as the "factory of the world".

At its peak, Britain's industrial output accounted for one-third of the world's total, plus colonies all over the world, it was the only hegemon in the world, and the political, economic, and military fields entered the peak since the Victorian era.

After entering 1850, Britain began to develop the beast mode of economic development, and between 1850 and 1862, British industry grew at an average annual rate of 3.12%.

If the original history has not changed

The period of high growth of British industry will continue until 1870, and in the next 40 years, the average annual growth rate is only 1.9%, which is caught up and surpassed by the world's emerging industrial powers such as the United States and Germany......

Traditional industries such as textiles, food and coal still dominate the British industrial sector, but their outdated equipment, technological stagnation and slow development have affected the development of the entire British industry.

After the sixties of the nineteenth century, the wave of the new industrial revolution rose, electricity opened up new energy and new power, and the rising capitalist countries, especially the United States and Germany, adopted the latest science and technology to develop new industries, so the economy showed leapfrog development.

In the face of increasingly powerful competition from the United States and Germany in the new industries, the British capitalists were unwilling to spend huge sums of money on upgrading equipment and adopting new technologies, nor were they willing to take risks in establishing new industries that were not sure of obtaining high profits, and their business methods became increasingly conservative and rigid.

The British, on the other hand, preferred to invest their money in traditional industries and rely on the huge colonial market to sell traditional industrial products rather than try new frontiers.

The desire to learn from the 17th and 19th centuries when Britain continued to explore new frontiers and try to integrate the technological strengths and advantages of the world, seems to have disappeared, leaving only arrogance and rigid conservatism.

Recall since the 17th century

Britain's development was largely due to its ability to learn from the skills of European countries, including France's achievements in silk, clothing, architecture, and hardware crafts, the Netherlands' achievements in linen, wool, glass, and watch crafts, and Italy's expertise in shipbuilding and weapons manufacturing.

As early as the 17th century, the United Kingdom began to implement patent law, which provided legal protection for the commercialization of individual inventions and creations, which is an important law to promote social progress and human creativity, and its historical significance should not be underestimated.

But as the British Empire reached its peak during the Victorian period, it seemed lost......

The UK Government considers;

As long as certain new technologies can be applied to the military industry and the development of new weapons, it is sufficient to maintain Britain's status as a maritime power, and it does not hurt that the civilian industry is lagging behind in the overall situation.

More than 40 days later

October 1862

The diligent palace of Daming Palace

In the tall hall, there are more than 10 fierce beasts lying on their stomachs or lying down, including three colorful white tigers, two male lions, two huge brown bears weighing more than a ton and five North American wild wolves the size of calves with silver white hair.

These are all Wanshou Mountains (Note; Homophonic Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain) is a powerful overlord who kills all directions, and here they are all whitewashed beast pets, and they can be as good as they want.

Next to the Emperor's Imperial Case

It has always been the core territory of the three-headed colorful white tiger, they look lazy lying on the side of the imperial case, as long as the emperor Richard rests, they will meekly put their furry heads on the top, and put them in the most convenient place for the owner to enjoy the pampering.

I have to say that the combat power of tattoos is still stronger than that of perms, and the two male lions can only lie under the golden steps, and further away are two giant brown bears, one on one side with a lazy expression, and the five North American wild wolves at the level of the wolf king are only left with the corners and the passage into the hall.

Even so

These beasts are also more intimate than the most loyal guards, because they can smell the divine aura emanating from their masters, and over time, their own strength and even spiritual intelligence can also increase subtly.

The three white tigers in the nearest place are almost as tall as a human 8-year-old child, and they are so smart that they know almost everything, but they don't bother to show it.

During the day, he accompanied the emperor to deal with political affairs, and at night he stayed peacefully outside the palace, almost inseparable.

"Erjo, ask the imperial dining room to send a Ningbo gnocchi up, and then fry a large portion of tomahawk steak, put more cumin and chili, I'm a little hungry."

Busy for a while

Richard raised his head and extended his arms, casually commanding.

In fact, at the moment when he raised his head, the 12 fierce beasts in the Qinzheng Hall raised their heads almost at the same time, turned their eyes to their masters, and waited for orders with their ears erected.

And a tall wolf named "Nijo", who was patrolling back and forth in the passage, heard the order, and disappeared in a flash of silver light, and its body was unbelievably fast, running like a silver lightning.

"Baipi and Facai, you two big stupid bears also move, Baipi go and call Deputy Director Lu to report the situation, Facai go and see who is on duty today in the royal guards, call me over and I have something to order."

Richard's right hand naturally drooped down, and landed right on the hairy head of the colorful white tiger, and he scratched it lightly for a while, enjoying the fluffy and soft comforting touch, and gave orders casually.

The two giant bears who received the order immediately got up and ran out with their big butts shaking, and the speed was not slow, do you say it's angry?

After winning the North American War

Richard's strategic layout for more than ten years has finally been realized, which makes his heart full of great joy of success at the same time, it is indeed a little relaxed.

I have more time to go to Wanshou Mountain to play, and there are more warblers and Yanyan in the harem, and I am inevitably a little relaxed about political affairs.

But the "Lieutenant Incident" reminded him that it was far from time to relax?

The system of the empire is not invulnerable, and the army has been infiltrated by others, which is a precursor to danger!

Stimulated by this event

Beginning in August, the imperial army entered the "comprehensive army reorganization plan", which carried out a one-year systematic training for the officers and men of the whole army in eight aspects, including loyalty to the empire, loyalty to the monarch, military discipline, military skills, soldiers' concept of honor and disgrace, tempering the character of knights, cultivating the quality of soldiers, and military and civilian families.

The focus is on officers, including senior officers, and all officers must go through a series of rotational training and education, which also includes secrecy and counter-espionage education, with the aim of improving the quality of officers as a whole and putting an end to the occurrence of such incidents.

After this training syllabus, the imperial army was really miserable from top to bottom, and almost hated the initiator Fusang little devil.

All the training has to be examined, and those who fail to pass will face the loss of a good future and can only retire gloomily.

Think about it

Isn't this a catastrophe that flew out of thin air?

But no one dared to envy His Majesty the Emperor and the military bosses, and in the end, this endless hatred all fell on the Fusang Kingdom, which was thousands of miles away, so that it caused many major events that went against the original historical trend later.

It has profoundly changed the face of history, and this is the story of the future.

As the supreme ruler of the empire, Richard was very proud of this set of measures to strengthen ideological education, which could just suppress the arrogance of the imperial army.

There is no harm in precipitating more precipitation.

Although the silver giant wolf named "Erjo" was very fast, the first to arrive were Lu Dawei, deputy director of the Imperial Secretariat, and Major General Mo Chengcai, deputy director of the Military Attache Division of the Imperial Chamberlain, and the two stood respectfully at the foot of the golden steps.

"Mo Aiqing, the "Hurricane" steam ironclad has been launched into service, I haven't been to inspect it yet, you go and arrange it, just put it tomorrow, and set off for Oak Bay Harbor early tomorrow morning, this side of San Francisco Bay is too eye-catching. Oak Bay Harbour is quieter, stay there for one night in the local area, and return to the palace on the second day. ”

"The minister obeys the order, and this will arrange for His Majesty's travel with the Royal Praetorian Guard."

Major General Mo Chengcai did not dare to slack off, and immediately left in a hurry after bowing down to receive the order, he would be so busy from now until tomorrow morning that he would hit the back of his head.

The Emperor's trip is not a trivial matter, involving all aspects of the matter, not only to inform the Cabinet, but also to work closely with the Secretariat and the Royal Guard, to repeatedly scrutinize every detail of the itinerary, and do not seek to be foolproof.

The advance team will be dispatched immediately, and from tonight onwards, they will be on guard along the way, with the cooperation of local police forces along the way, and there are many other huge things to take care of.

Not to mention that His Majesty intends to spend the night in Oak Bay Harbor, then the entire Oak Bay Harbor will be subject to a curfew for these two days, and no unrelated persons will be allowed to pass.

This is a typical example of moving your mouth at the top and breaking your leg from the bottom.

Oak Bay Harbor is a coastal port in Pana County, north of Chang'an City (San Francisco), which is a complete military port and the station of the Royal Navy fleet, and the nearby Oak Town is a small town of more than 80,000 people, and the largest local enterprises are the Royal Navy Ship Repair Yard, Navy Station and Navy Depot.

The Royal Navy Ship Repair Yard has three 10,000-ton docks, which can repair various types of steam-ironclad warships equipped by the navy, and usually receives some civilian ship repair business, and the business is very prosperous.

Due to the strong technical force and excellent quality of the shipyard, and close to the international port of Chang'an City, the civilian ships waiting to enter the Royal Ship Repair Yard have to queue up until a year and a half later, which is the strength.

After sending Major General Mo Chengcai away in a few words, Richard sat on the throne with a leisurely expression, stroked the head of the colorful white tiger with one hand, and asked;

"Lu Aiqing, has the 1863 International Policy Research Report led by the Secretariat been published?"

"Your Majesty, I've finished the draft, and I'm still staring at this just now. After two reviews and revisions, the first volume of "The End of the Turmoil in China" has just been bound, and the second volume of "British New Year's Outlook" is being bound, and the next three volumes will definitely be completed tonight, so as not to delay Your Majesty to read them at any time on the road tomorrow. ”

"That's very good, bring the first volume first, and the second volume will be bound and sent to the Baixiang Hall of the West Palace, where I will rest tonight. Well...... Is there anything you want to report? ”

"Your Majesty, the letters of state from the kings of Fuso, Korea and Vietnam have recently arrived, and there is also a letter of gratitude from the king of the Ryukyus and plans to send a mission to the Hajj to the imperial Tianyan, and the cabinet has dealt with them one by one, and the specific transcript will be submitted later."

"Well, I know."

"Your Majesty; The Tang Empire ordered the Fuso Kingdom to return the Amami Islands to the northern part of the Satsuma Domain, and the country had withdrawn all government personnel and troops within three months of the order, returned the island to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and signed a formal handover treaty. ”

"Well, the little devils pretend to be a person, so let's leave it at that, and I don't have the leisure to fiddle with them now." Richard said casually, and then waved his hand for Lu Dawei to retreat.

He was a little hungry in his stomach, and he couldn't help but look outside the hall again, why hadn't Ningbo dumplings and tomahawk steaks arrived yet?

"That ...... "Wujo" you go for a run, the tomahawk steak is freshly grilled more slowly, ask them to bring me a bowl of Ningbo dumplings first, remember to put more wine and osmanthus flowers. ”

The silver-headed wolf named "5" responded with a "whoop", which means "understood", and disappeared like lightning......
