The schedule of the visit to the Kingdom of Prussia was quite tight, and after a few days passed, and after the signing of more than 10 bilateral treaties on deepening cooperation, the visit came to an end.

These days

In addition to marveling at the luxurious royal banquet of the Emeline Palace, and the car that can walk by himself without using a horse, the most amazing thing is the more than a dozen pet beasts of His Majesty Richard, the emperor of the Tang Empire.

In the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, these huge beasts were as docile as kittens, attracting countless envy and amazement.

It's a pity

A beast is a beast after all, and it is impossible to allow strangers to get close, even if it is a noble status like a king.

"Dear Richard, I am really envious to see these majestic pet beasts around you, if possible, can you give me a pair of cubs born in the future, I really like it." King William couldn't help but ask.

The body length of the three colorful giant tigers of Baipi, Hongzhong, and Facai reaches more than 4 meters, and when they stand up with their hind limbs, they are extremely high, and they are very oppressive.

In William's eyes, he simply couldn't pull it out.

Even if he liked it too much, King William knew that these grown beasts could not be raised by anyone else except their masters.

If you want your own pet beast, you can only start cultivating feelings from a cub.

Facing King William's longing fiery eyes, Richard nodded in agreement; "The Kingdom of Prussia is a good brother of the Tang Empire in Europe, and the depth and breadth of close cooperation between the two sides far exceed that of other European countries, and it is one of the two cornerstones of the Tang Empire's relations with Europe. William and I hit it off at first sight, and we had a good conversation, and good things should naturally be shared, and I allowed it. ”

"Hahaha...... Great, another toast. "King William didn't like French wine, he preferred to gulp beer.

He boldly picked up the glass and slammed it into the wooden beer glass in Richard's hand, splashing a full glass of beer in all directions, and then he took the beer glass and drank it down.

King William, who was known as the "Prince of Shotguns" before ascending to the throne, joined the army at the age of 10 and was educated in the Junker tradition of military aristocracy.

In 1814, he participated in the war against the French League with the rank of above, and immersed himself in the army all his life, even if his beard was white, it was difficult to hide the old-fashioned Junker military style that penetrated into the bone marrow.

The character is tough and indomitable, as tough as an old cowhide.

As a "Shotgun Prince" who climbed from a grassroots officer to the commander of the Lieutenant General of the Guards Corps of the Kingdom of Prussia, King William knew very well how valuable these war experiences were in exchange for countless lives and blood.

Asking for a pair of cubs is a way to show closeness.

His Majesty, the dignified King of the Kingdom of Prussia, where can you get a pair of tiger cubs?

Richard also poured his beer boldly, he liked King William's straightforward and non-hypocritical way, dealing with the Prussians and saying his own demands directly, and not twisting around the bush.

The Prussians were not good at this, and they were easily dizzy.

After visiting Europe, Li realized that it was easier to deal with the French and Germans, and the French had the characteristics of southern Europeans, enthusiastic and direct, and their likes and dislikes would be shown on their faces, without concealing them at all.

Germans have a straightforward and rigid personality, and they don't look back and don't turn around like a bull when they believe in things.

The hardest thing to deal with is the British, the British have too many fancy intestines, like holes in cheese, it's hard to count how many?

Richard and King Wilhelm had a very speculative conversation, and in the more than 10 cooperation treaties signed by the two sides to close bilateral relations, in particular, the "immigration through train" policy was arranged for German white immigrants, and a series of needs ranging from bank loans to home purchases were properly arranged.

Due to today's backward agricultural production capacity, the German region (including the Kingdom of Prussia) is unable to support the growing population.

At the bottom of the ladder, white German peasants and craftsmen, down-and-out aristocrats or artists, had a general immigrant impulse in pursuit of a better and more stable life.

Emigration to the North American continent or South America is an irresistible trend for white Germans at the bottom of society.

As high-quality immigrants, white German-American immigrants were the most diligent farmers, the most down-to-earth workers, the best soldiers, and one of the best builders, who deserved to be vigorously introduced and integrated into the society of the empire.

In the original history

Germans, Irish, and Italians make up more than 80 percent of all white immigrants to North and South America, with white Germans in particular fond of North America.

Because the climate here is warmer than in Europe, the sun is abundant, the land is vast and fertile, and the four seasons are distinct but not excessively hot and humid, which is very suitable for the living habits of German immigrants.

The central provinces of the Great Lakes region, which belonged to the Tang Empire, were the traditional focus of white German immigrants, and the German population in this area accounted for more than half of the total population (before the North American War), and it is still one of the main social ethnic groups in the central region.

With the total population of more than 40 million in the Tang Empire, the Chinese population accounts for 83.6% or more (this is a dynamic number, every time a large area is annexed, the proportion of the Chinese population decreases and then slowly rises), and it already has a strong ability to accept integration.

The import of a certain number of white immigrants every year is conducive to strengthening the integration of Chinese and Western nationalities, enhancing the country's economic vitality, and giving birth to a more splendid new culture of the Tang people.

The general trend of European migration to North America was unstoppable, and after a sharp decline during the North American war, it quickly rebounded after the war, from a minimum of 270,000 people per year to an average of 850,000 to 900,000 per year today, basically returning to normal levels.

This wave of immigration will continue into the twenties, almost a full 60 years, sending more than 45 million white immigrants to North America, with a maximum of more than 1.6 million immigrants.

It was the arrival of large numbers of white European immigrants in North America by boat that allowed the United States of America and the Confederate States of America to recover quickly from the devastation of the war and replenish the labor force population that was in dire need.

According to the population census at the end of 1863;

By the end of 1863, the population of the United States of America had risen from 7.76 million, the lowest point in the North American War, and by the end of 1863 the total population had once again exceeded 10 million.

Among them

The return of more than one million Americans after the war was the most important factor in the population recovery of the United States of America (North), who could not bear the bitter cold weather of the British Canadian colonies.

Second, the influx of Chinese immigrants to the East Coast in search of business and home opportunities, coupled with the return to normal European immigration flows, are two other factors contributing to the United States of America's "total population exceeding the 10 million mark."

In the demographic composition of the United States of America (North), 73.2% are white, 15.4% are Chinese, and 7.3% are black (Note; At its peak, it reached 22.2%), with Mexicans accounting for 3.1% and Indians accounting for 0.9%.

The total population of the Confederate States of America also quickly recovered to 8.15 million, with 36.72 per cent of the population being white, 23.1 per cent Chinese, 32.4 per cent black, 5.7 per cent Mexican and Central American, and 2.1 per cent Indian.

The next stop on the visit of Emperor Richard of the Tang Empire was the Kingdom of Italy, a major exporter of white immigrants.

In the 60s of the 19th century, Italy was divided, and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Cavour, actively pursued a "top-down" unification policy, and through the efforts of him and Garibaldi and others for more than ten years, he gradually realized the unification of the divided city states of the Apennine Peninsula.

In March 1861, the Kingdom of Sardinia changed its name to the Kingdom of Italy, officially establishing Florence.

Now

The unification of the Kingdom of Italy was not entirely complete, the Austrian Empire occupied the Venetian area, and Rome under the French army and its nearby Papal States were the two major obstacles to the unification of Italy.

Today, the Kingdom of Italy is a typical agrarian society, with urban handicrafts as the mainstay, mainly tailors, tanners, blacksmiths, hand-weaving, dyeing and glass, porcelain and jewelers, etc., and has not yet begun a formal process of industrialization.

Industrial development lagged far behind Britain, France, Tang, Prussia, the Netherlands and other countries, and even more backward than the industry of Tsarist Russia.

Since the Kingdom of Italy had just been unified and there was no colony overseas, the tendency of the low-class Italians and craftsmen to emigrate to North America in search of a better life was very strong.

White immigrants of Italian origin are one of the main groups of immigrants to North America in the next decade, ranking third after Germans and Irish.

In the list of visits by Emperor Richard of the Tang Empire, there are no Austrian Empire and Spain, two important European countries, the former is a consideration that cannot be both, and the latter has a cold relationship with the Tang Empire and even hostility.

Let's start with the Austrian Empire, which was the center of Habsburg feudal rule, and which had been competing with the Kingdom of Prussia for the position of leader of the German nation. He has co-opted more than a dozen close states to boost his momentum, and has always regarded himself as the leader of the German nation.

Although in the Prussian-Danish War, the German Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia jointly sent troops to Holstein and Schleswig, it did not mean that the two sides had friendly relations, but because of the strong call of the German Confederation Parliament, they had to make a show.

Regarding the Tang Empire's great importance to the development of bilateral relations with the Kingdom of Prussia, the Austrian Empire took an indifferent and exclusionary stance, and the scathing tone of domestic newspapers and public opinion represented a considerable part of the official position.

Richard wouldn't use his hot face to stick a cold ass at all, how cheap that is!

The Austrian Empire was never a good ally, and during the Crimean War in 1853, Tsar Nicholas I was convinced that his good friend and brother Franz-Joseph would never allow Britain and France to do whatever they wanted.

In St. Petersburg, Nicholas I addressed the British envoy:

"Don't threaten me with war, Tsarist Russia can rely on Berlin and Vienna." This was a warning that Britain and France could once again provoke a major war in Europe.

However, the Holy Alliance had long since become inseparable, and the Kingdom of Prussia had long complained about Russia's protection of Austria in the Austro-Prussian dispute in 1850, and would not take advantage of the Balkans, an issue that had nothing to do with it.

Austria was even more inscrutable, and Nicholas I could never have imagined the betrayal of Austria a few months later.

At a critical moment when Tsarist Russia was besieged by millions of troops from Britain, France, Tang, Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Austrian Emperor Franz-Joseph was busy marrying the beautiful Sisi of Bavaria, and had long forgotten about the Three Emperors' Alliance.

What is such an ally who can only stab in the back?

As for Spain, its grievances with the Tang Empire are too deep, not to mention that California, New Mexico and Nevada and other regions when the Tang Empire was first established were originally Spanish colonies.

Panama, Costa Rica, the eight northern provinces of Mexico, and large territories such as Mexico and the Aztec Republic were all former Spanish colonies.

You're welcome

The Tang Empire now covers a vast territory of tens of millions of square kilometers, of which more than 70% of the territory belongs to the former Spanish colonies, and the essence is all included.

In this situation, how can the Spaniards be embarrassed?

In the course of the conquest of North America by the Chinese army, the local natives and whites were burned, killed, looted, and all kinds of cruel repression methods emerged one after another, almost all traces of Spain were left on this land, except for those historic Spanish buildings, few traces of the former colonists can be seen.

Spain has protested countless times, but the Tang Empire has ignored them all.

The severe civil war that is now taking place in the three Central American countries has the black hand of the Tang Empire behind it, and the turmoil of the war has led to the fragmentation of traditional culture and history, and countless white Hispanic people have died and their homes have been destroyed, which is a real tragedy.

But Spain is limited in strength and can do nothing.

Mixed emotions piled up, resulting in a cold and hostile relationship between Spain and the Tang Empire.

This is also the status quo that can't be helped, who made the former Spanish colonies soft persimmons?

Richard estimated;

When the Tang Empire officially entered the Paraguayan War in South America, bilateral relations with Spain would be completely broken.

Because the Brazilian Empire is a continuation of the Spanish royal family's rule in the former colonies, it is just a change of "national independence" skin, in essence, the ruling class has changed the soup but not the medicine.

Based on the strategic interests of the Tang Empire, intervening in the Paraguayan War in South America is a sure thing, and it will not change with Spain's coldness and hostility or the compliments of the Brazilian Empire.

Brazil and Argentina are in pain, let them know who is the boss of the whole America, and only obedient obedience is the only future.

Otherwise, the Tang Empire would not mind starting the Second Paraguayan War, continuing to beat, and directly dismembering them.

With the successful experience of dismembering the United States, the Tang Empire is now confident that as long as it has a firm foothold in South America and reliable logistical resources, the Tang Empire is capable of launching a campaign of more than 100,000 people.

Will it be implemented?

It depends on whether Brazil and Argentina know how to behave? Is it eye-catching?
