Overlooking the magnificent metropolis of Taoyuan, the bustling street scene is like an ant. In the new urban area outside the valley, more than ten high-rise buildings can be seen everywhere on the side of the street, and there are large areas of urban green space mixed in, birds and flowers, a prosperous city on the plateau.

Look, look...... A smile of relief appeared at the corner of Emperor Richard's mouth, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

Taoyuan City is his ideal metropolis, in this central metropolis, the Chinese population accounts for 93.7% of the total population, about 6% of the white descendants of European countries, and the remaining 0.3% are Mexicans or very rare Indians, all of whom are descendants of the servant army.

Such a population structure is stable and dynamic, the urban and rural areas are safe, and serious crimes are rare. Neighbors help each other and form an excellent rural customs.

So-called; Cang is honest and knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when food and clothing are sufficient.

The ancient Chinese virtues of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" are widely spread in the cities and countryside, and walking on the streets, you can often see such as;

"Everyone is responsible for caring for every grass and tree in the city, and a beautiful homeland is everyone's responsibility."

"Take the family as the home, the township as the township, the country as the country, and the world as the world."

"The prosperity of the empire is the responsibility of the husband, the loyalty of the monarch, the patriotism of the sage and the virtue of the sage."

"Revive the Han and Tang dynasties and stand tall among the nations of the world."

and other banners and slogans, subtly regulating the behavior of each imperial subject, establishing a correct sense of honor and loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and deepening such cultural indoctrination day after day.

In the school, the news media and the slogans on the streets, the Imperial Propaganda Department used all occasions to instill the concept of loyalty and patriotism, and established the concept of historical honor and disgrace with the restoration of the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties, and achieved remarkable results.

In the nearly 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has persistently promoted universal education, which is the proudest place of the Tang Empire.

Under the strong impetus of Emperor Richard, the imperial mainland, overseas provinces, vassal states and countries in the Americas widely used the use of national language textbooks. All government employees, educators, military and police officers, factory operators and middle and senior management of major enterprises must be proficient in Chinese.

Theaters throughout the Tang Empire were forbidden to stage local operas, and the common ones were Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera, and radio, songs, crosstalk, and commentaries were all in Chinese, and all students learned Chinese from the first grade of primary school, without exception.

If you don't speak Chinese well, you can't apply for office clerks.

It is the persistent promotion that has led to the blossoming of Chinese education everywhere. In the Tang Empire, from south to north, from east to west, from overseas provinces, there were no barriers to communication through the Chinese language.

It is not that it is forbidden to speak the local dialect, but it is applicable to a very narrow situation, that is, it can be used for communication between the family and fellow villagers.

Gradually, it was no longer used.

Break the geographical barrier, break the clan barrier, establish a strong concept of Chinese nationalism, and establish the concept of the whole Tang family. This is what the Tang Empire is doing, and it has already achieved very good results.

In the opinion of Emperor Richard

Economic prosperity and development is only the prosperity of material life, the key is to establish a strong Chinese national patriotism, which helps to enhance the cohesion of the subjects of the Tang Empire, is the most valuable wealth passed down from generation to generation.

Why is the United States broken like an egg?

The key is that as a country of immigrants, there is no mainstay of the mainstream ethnic group, and white immigrants from various countries are deeply estranged from each other, and they can't urinate in a pot at all.

In the original history

The prosperity of the United States of America masked the great divisions within it, and it took more than 100 years of bridging the Civil War to establish Americans' own patriotism.

Today's history has completely changed, and the United States has no such opportunity to make amends, and the social situation is turbulent by international forces on all sides, so it is destined to be divided.

"Your Majesty; Seeing that it was already noon, all the ladies and princesses were waiting for His Majesty to pass the meal, and respectfully asked His Majesty to show him. ”

"Oh, I forgot the time when I was so distracted, so let's go." Emperor Richard smiled, turned around and strode out.

The uphill and downhill are all through the cable car, which is very convenient.

I lived in Taoyuan for more than a month and spent a long vacation.

Thanks to the development of cable telegraph communication in the Tang Empire, there was a special telegraph group under the royal secretariat, which sent and received news from all parties at home and abroad of the imperial government, and gathered them in front of the emperor at the first time.

Therefore, the important ministers of the empire do not need to be on their side, and Emperor Richard can remotely control the huge empire anywhere and develop in an orderly manner.

The period of June ~ September 1885 was also a critical period for the election of the new imperial prime minister.

At this time, Emperor Richard took a group of concubines and princesses to Taoyuan City for a summer vacation, away from the fierce imperial capital Chang'an and Los Angeles, and he did not have the idea of avoiding quietness.

By the end of August

The results of the provincial prime minister's elections were released one after another, and the conservative "National Power Party" overwhelming the "Gongli Party" by a clear margin, winning 57.5 percent of the electoral vote.

There are still five local heavyweights in the province where the results have not yet been announced, and in these five provinces, the National Power Party needs only one province to win the election.

The KMT needs to win all five of the heavyweight home provinces to reverse the election results by a narrow margin, which is practically impossible.

Emperor Richard was determined;

The National Power Party won the election, and the new generation of Baron Tang Dezhao will enter the cabinet and serve as the prime minister of the ninth cabinet of the Tang Empire.

Baron Tang Dezhao is a typical second generation of immigrants, his father was the leader of the cavalry squadron of the early San Fernandez cuirassier regiment, who died in the second American-Tang War, so he was a loyal martyr.

Baron Tang Dezhao graduated from the famous Chang'an University in the imperial capital, and served as the deputy head of the working group of the Overseas Department of the Colonial Ministry on Paradise Island, and was deeply appreciated by Baron Dong Jie (note, the title of Paradise Island during the colonization period) because of his outstanding talent, and promoted him to serve as the deputy mayor of New Xi'an, and later the mayor.

In the following resumes

Baron Tang Dezhao served as ambassador to France during the Franco-Prussian War, and later became ambassador to Germany, returned to China after 6 years in Europe, and successively served as vice minister of foreign affairs, senior official of California, minister of agriculture and animal husbandry during the tenure of Prime Minister Dong Jie.

It is not surprising that the aging incumbent Prime Minister Chen Cailiang lost the election, because in the previous prime ministers, the Tang Empire was determined to forge ahead in the early days, and repeatedly made gains in expanding its territory and accumulated deep political capital.

However, in the five years that Chen Cailiang served as prime minister, the empire had not exhausted an inch of land, and economic development was advancing step by step, and there was nothing remarkable and dazzling to be found.

Emperor Richard knew well;

In fact, this is no wonder Prime Minister Chen Cailiang, because the Tang Empire has been in a state of rapid expansion in the early stage, and it takes a long time to digest the fruits of victory and transform the newly expanded territory into real strength.

Therefore, in strategic planning, this is a period of steady development to accumulate strength again.

But the Chinese people don't see it that way, the subjects of the Tang Empire have been nourished by one brilliant victory after another, and if they can't get the dazzling achievements of opening up the territory, that is not good.

The results of the election showed that;

The subjects of the empire are very uninterested in the current prime minister of the Gongli Party, so they choose to vote with their feet, which is really unreasonable.

Emperor Richard ignored the election results and took a special royal train to the northern provinces in late August.

The results of the election were finally announced when the Royal Patents arrived in Chicago on September 6. Sure enough, it was the National Power Party led by Baron Tang Dezhao who won the election. Won three of the last five heavyweight home provinces and sealed the victory without any suspense.

September is the most beautiful time of the year in Chicago.

When the Royal Train arrived at Chicago Station, Chicagoans greeted His Majesty the Emperor with a special and solemn ceremony, and more than 300,000 retired veterans and their families stood along the road from the train station to the city.

These retired officers and men, all dressed in military uniforms of more than 20 years ago, decorated with medals, lined up neatly along the streets, with gray hair and wrinkled faces full of reverence, greeted His Majesty the Holy Emperor with the highest military etiquette.

Chicago is a city of heroes, and it is also a monumental city with the most tragic casualties and the most significant significance in the previous wars of the Tang Empire.

In the Battle of Chicago in the autumn of 1861, the Northern Army and the Colorado Army launched a general attack on the main force of the US Northern Army entrenched in Chicago with more than 600,000 men, and the whole campaign lasted more than two months, with more than 170,000 casualties of the Imperial Army (Note; The casualties of the white servant army were the mainstay, accounting for more than 7 percent).

At that time, Chicago, as the second largest city in the United States (north) and a metropolis with a population of one million in the core of the industrial zone in the Great Lakes, was a vital city that the US Northern Army had to defend at all costs, and an unprecedented fierce battle broke out here.

Before the war, there were about 700,000 civilians left in the city, and then only about 300,000 remained, and the huge city was reduced to rubble.

On some streets, the fighting sides fought over and over a dozen times, leaving behind a pile of corpses strewn across the rubble.

The U.S. Northern Army also shed its last drop of blood here, and the loss of Chicago also means that the entire war situation is facing irreparable and complete defeat......

After the victory in the war

The 100,000 soldiers of the Northern Army were demobilized on a large scale, most of them concentrated in the surrounding Great Lakes City area with Chicago and Detroit as the core, and now their families have multiplied to the third generation, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant.

The city has the largest number of veterans' clubs, with more than 170 military numbers of various kinds. The city's landmarks include the Chicago Battle Memorial, Memorial Park, 23 ancestral halls in the suburbs, and the names of the streets and alleys.

For example, the 203rd Division Street, this street is the place where the 203rd Division conquered after a bloody battle, and now although there are many high-rise buildings everywhere, it has long been impossible to see a piece of ruins after the war, and it is completely a modern urban scene with a lot of traffic.

However, the 203rd Division Military Club still stands there, and the gray-haired retired officers and soldiers often hold various gatherings to remember those unforgettable and eventful years.

For example, 17 times on Main Street, where the two sides involved in the war at that time repeatedly fought 17 times, the position on this street changed hands 17 times, and the corpses of officers and soldiers covered almost every inch of land.

The ruins of a sturdy four-story stone building are still preserved here, and the dense blackened shell marks and bullet holes on it record the bloody level of the battle.

It is said that the soldiers fought on the corpses of their dead comrades, and the blood soaked through the floor slabs and dripped out, so the ruins of this building took on a strange black and red color, and the tragic atmosphere came from afar.

Today's Chicago has a total population of 1.77 million, 87% of whom are of Chinese descent, and the remaining 12.6% are the white servants of the year and their descendants, which is also a die-hard supporter group of the imperial royal family, also lined up on the side of the avenue to welcome the Holy Driver.

These veterans of the White Servant Army earned respect for their great sacrifices, and after the war they enjoyed a generous placement on the same footing as Imperial officers and soldiers, and boasted of being "His Majesty's most loyal soldiers".

The city of Chicago is a record of their great sacrifices, the glory and foundation of their family legacy, and to deny all this would be to overturn all the sacrifices they have made?

"Stand upright as a whole, salute!"

"Welcome to Chicago, the people of Chicago miss you!"

"Who is the pioneer of the king, who else is me?"

"Bloody battle in Chicago, loyal soul casts eternity, swear to defend the glory of the Tang royal family!"

"Always obey the call of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, be loyal, and be loyal forever!"

When the cavalry of the Praetorian Guard escorted the mighty black sedan convoy over, the retired veterans on both sides of the street shouted in unison, and the sound of the mountains and tsunamis soared into the sky, and many veterans couldn't help but shed tears wantonly.

When His Majesty the Holy Emperor stood up from the car, the atmosphere of the scene reached a climax, and the retired veterans shouted hoarsely, conveying full of enthusiasm and loyalty.

Seeing this warm scene, even Emperor Richard couldn't help but be moved, and frequently waved to the retired veterans who came to greet him......

From the Chicago train station to the city, the short 20-kilometer road, the convoy traveled for more than 40 minutes, and the city was even more welcoming crowd, desperately waving the imperial flag in their hands and shouting, venting the excitement in their hearts.

The last time His Majesty the Emperor visited Chicago was more than ten years ago, and the next time I don't know the Year of the Monkey?

Emperor Richard couldn't help it, the territory of the empire was too big, too vast.

In the more than 30 years since the Paradise Island was founded, he has not visited any of the 11 newly built provinces under the jurisdiction of the former Andean Governor's Palace, as well as Beihai Province, Hawaii Province, Cuba Province, Luzon Province, Cebu Province, Mindanao Province, Alaska Province, and Yunzhong Province!

Even if the southeast, northwest, and northwest provinces of the empire run in a circle, it will take five or six years to rotate, not to mention that the emperor can't run out every year, which is too unrealistic.

At this time, you can see that the empire is too hard, and it really can't run.
