the ancient wisdom of China; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good.

In response to the crisis in the United States, the Tang Empire displayed heavy military groups on the border. This echoes the mobile forces of the General Command in the United States, which has a huge influence on the federal government and the divided states that can influence the situation.

His Majesty the Emperor is very good at using the advantages of the empire to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight, and by the way, to win a good reputation.

Containing but not distributing is the key to this strategy.

The French obviously did not understand the wisdom of the East, and their futile attack in all directions attracted the hatred and resistance of the states, hoping that the traditional Franco-American friendship between China and China had long since disappeared.

All one sees is the ugly face of the Frenchman who toiled for the benefit of the usurers.

After the high-level military meeting, Emperor Richard left the Royal Army Chief of Staff, Marshal Mak Hsiao-zu, and the Deputy Prime Minister, Earl Yao Guangyi, to prepare to give them a secret.

Specific military and political affairs still need to be implemented by these two important ministers of the empire to promote the situation in North America in the direction of the interests of the Tang Empire.

The Chicago Lakeside Palace is a splendid Baroque palace complex, with His Majesty the Emperor's Great Study with a 12.8-metre-high dome and beautiful frescoes depicting on the dome, all by the artist.

The mural tells the story of the Battle of Chicago, where the imperial battle flag flies high above the ruins of the city, and the sunset is as bright as blood, an epic scene.

Outside the large study, there is also a large hand-drawn map of the world, written by the famous French painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, a Rubens classicist painter, with very strong color rendering.

Next to the large world map is a much smaller map of North America, also by Renoir, which is very helpful in understanding the current situation in North America.

"Taking advantage of the current chaos in North America, the empire should take advantage of the situation to promote the regional situation and develop in the direction that is beneficial to the Tang Empire...... And this ......" Emperor Richard pointed in the direction of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, and then closed his fingers and clenched them vigorously, and said in a tone of imperativeness;

"The best opportunity is right in front of us, and God will take it, but take the blame.

The appetite of the Tang Empire is very good, and this is probably the last window of opportunity for expansion in North America.

This time, I want to eat a full meal, take the important port area on the east coast, and completely connect the east and west coastlines.

Look at New Jersey......"

Emperor Richard said in an accentuated tone, and pointed with his hand in the direction of New Jersey, which is next to New York, the third largest city in North America, and the largest international metropolis on the East Coast.

New Jersey is adjacent to New York, and the Port Authority of New York contains more than a dozen ports in New Jersey, which are the royal property of the Tang Empire. The Imperial North American Command has always maintained a total strength of more than 40,000 troops in New York, accounting for two-thirds of the entire North American garrison.

That alone shows the importance of New York.

But New York is also the most populous state in the entire United States of Milliamerica, and the entire state (Note; Including New York) has a population of more than 6.9 million, nearly a quarter of the total population of the United States.

The ethnic Chinese community makes up about 32.1% of the state's total population and 57.3% of the total population of New York City, and has significant political influence.

New York State and New York City are the relationship between an economic metropolis and the state, the capital of New York State is in Albany, and the light is completely overshadowed by New York City.

Thankfully, the governor of New York and the mayor of New York are both Chinese-American parties, and the empire has decisive influence over them.

Emperor Richard continued;

"I don't care about other places, according to the established policy of the empire, to promote independence and separatism, and to establish a pro-Tang regime, this is the original topic.

However, the independent state of New York must not merge with New Jersey, because it is the prey of the empire and no one else is allowed to get involved.

Even if it is a Chinese-dominated regime, and Britain and France are not opposed, the territory of New Jersey is about to be decided.

And here's the ...... Here......

These areas should promote further chaos or local wars, stir up the heat, and the intensification of social unrest will cause a large loss of population, which is conducive to the next step.

These regions must not become independent early, but will continue to be in turmoil and war, creating opportunities for the Empire to intervene militarily and eventually be included.

The two Aiqing are related to the strategic deployment and major interests of the empire, and are the top secret of the empire.

Only you, me, and the three ministers know about this matter, and Prime Minister Tang Aiqing will be informed by my secret decree.

The stakes are very high, and only a few words must not be leaked, otherwise the law of the country will be ruthless.

It is advisable to be cautious. ”

These words were very serious, Marshal Mai Xiaozu and Vice Minister Yao Guangyi looked at each other, and immediately bowed and bowed, saying; "How can Weichen be entrusted with the important task of the military state by His Majesty? When the liver and brain are smeared on the ground to repay it, don't dare to ignore it. ”

The two important ministers of Wen Yiwu soon left, and deployed the nails that had been planted in the United States for decades by the military and political parties to take action to promote the development of the situation in the direction of the Tang Empire.

Mid to late September

Following Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Ohio were successively announced;

The French army was persona non grata, and its military operations in the region were illegal invasions, calling for mass resistance.

The 5,600-strong French Expeditionary Force, which was marching on Ohio, was frequently attacked by local forces in Belfast and East Providence. Dozens of casualties were inflicted on the French army, which had to stop in the nearby town of Rovel.

On the one hand, he called for help from the headquarters of the French Expeditionary Force in Baltimore by convenient telegram, asking for instructions on the next course of action.

On the other hand, he stopped in the small town of Rowell, strengthened the guard post to guard against the attack, and made his stomach depressed.

Here, the French army was met with the eyes of the townspeople, many of whom spat in front of the French army, cursed loudly, and refused to provide all supplies, including food and water.

Whenever the French army went to the river outside the town to fetch water for cooking, there would always be many townspeople running upstream to and pee, and even throwing filthy animal carcasses into the river, which was simply infuriating.

Baltimore

The headquarters of the French Expeditionary Force is located in a large military base in Chengxiao, which is a military base where the Tang Empire has been stationed for 25 years, and the supporting facilities are quite complete.

The Baltimore military base has neat rows of barracks and large training grounds, as well as a small commercial street nearly 200 meters long, which can provide department stores, haircuts, restaurants and other services, just like a small town.

The rolling hills and forests and rivers around the barracks play a good role in isolating and shielding, and can also be used by cavalry and horses to gallop across the country.

After the partial withdrawal of the Tang Empire, this large military base was seamlessly handed over to the French Expeditionary Force.

The French army successively took over more than 60 other military bases, large and small, all over the states and important cities of the United States.

Base Command

Lieutenant General Jean-François Pessini, commander of the French North American Expeditionary Force, looked at the urgent telegram that flew like snowflakes, and it was really a big head, and there was a crazy idea of wanting to blast everything up with artillery.

In a secret telegram to him, the government asked the French army to take active action and show its military presence in the United States.

Other words;

Let the French people know that the government and the French army have been doing their best to maintain the situation in the United States and have been taking active actions to reduce the pressure of public opinion.

The energy of France's 4 million usury power class cannot be underestimated, and even the government has been kidnapped and has to do things against their will.

Lieutenant General Jean-François Pessini, after careful consideration, gave a clear and unequivocal order;

"After all, our troops, in accordance with the established plan, arrived at the target point of the mission, and the subsequent military operation was canceled, waiting for further orders from the command."

"Yes, sir."

The French army's military operations in the United States were tied, basically following the rules of war in Europe, mainly not disturbing and harming ordinary civilians, and with strict discipline.

The United States is not a French colony, and not only is Tang and Britain watching, but all European countries are paying close attention to the development of the situation in the United States, and it is impossible to act arbitrarily.

After the end of the Second North American War, millions of soldiers returned to the countryside with weapons, including artillery and other heavy weapons, which can be said to be a powder keg.

There are many veterans of war experience in the United States, and they generally possess a large number of rifles, revolvers, and other weapons.

Since the beginning of September

Many units sent by the French army to various places were attacked in an organized manner, and more than 30 large and small battles broke out, with hundreds of casualties.

The French intervention provoked outrage and is now the target of public criticism.

Major General Henry of the British North American Liaison Office warned; "The French army must restrain its behavior and avoid becoming the main culprit for exacerbating the instability in the region, which has become a major problem that needs to be addressed urgently."

The British garrison in North America was not large, only next to the shipyard barracks in New York, the Tang Empire, there was a small Royal Navy station and a coordinating North American liaison office, with a total of 362 officers and men.

After the partial withdrawal of the Tang Empire, the British army had withdrawn all its combat units from the United States, and its total number was less than 3,000 men.

But the existence of the British army should not be underestimated because of this, even if it is only Major General Henry, the director of the North American Liaison Office, it represents the voice of the British Empire, and it is a great pressure on France.

The North American Command of the Tang Empire has never spoken out and has not officially commented on the military operations of the French army, and the imperial garrison has also maintained considerable restraint, greatly reducing unnecessary military operations.

Anything is afraid of comparison, American public opinion has been raising its evaluation of the garrison of the Tang Empire, and its image has become positive, which no one can predict.
