Chapter 716 Epilogue

October 11, 1890

The Tang Empire announced its formal recognition of the Republic of New York, and signed a "Florida version" of a treaty of close military and political alliance with the Republic of New York, further deepening bilateral relations.

Chen Huichuan, the Chinese-American president of the Republic of New York, and a number of important government officials have really exerted their strength in order to pass the alliance treaty in Congress, and finally have a thrilling escape through the danger.

Finally, it was formally signed by the president and formed the Treaty of Alliance Act, which was publicly implemented by the government.

For this matter

President Chen Huichuan and a number of political leaders in the ruling "Democratic Party Building" have been widely criticized by public opinion, saying that they are "capitulators," that they are "servile," and that they have "completely lost the dignity of the Republic of New York."

who can understand;

Compared with the terrifying Tang Empire, the Republic of New York is just a slightly larger grasshopper.

The newspaper's public opinion was quick to speak for a while, and finally brought disaster to itself, which can be regarded as self-inflicted.

The government of the Republic of New York has tightened its grip on public opinion, and dozens of editors-in-chief and reporters of media and newspapers have been arrested and are about to face a series of felony charges such as "defamation of the government."

October 20th

Washington, D.C., the last grandmother and uncle, announced that it would inherit the mantle of the United States of America, which attracted widespread opposition from the people in the region.

Without it, the former government could not afford to carry its heavy international debt!

It is for this reason that the Republic of New York is reluctant to join Washington, D.C., to establish a state, for fear of carrying too much debt burden from the previous government.

It is clear that Washington, which has been the United States of America for 100 years, is more suitable as the new capital than Albany, the capital of the Republic of New York.

So as the largest country after the partition, with a total population of nearly 50%, and inherited the former capital Washington, will the newly independent Republic of New York bear the main international debt repayment responsibility of the previous government?

The answer is yes, so savvy New Yorkers don't want to.

It is of course good if the territory is larger, the population is larger, and the international influence is higher, but it is not good if the international debt is too large.

November 2~6

Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio successively announced their annexation to the Tang Empire and became a native province of the empire, namely Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio.

The German newspaper Bremen Izvestia said in a sour commentator's article that published the news;

The "voluntariness" of the three white states to join the Tang Empire was the latest advance made by this vast empire dominated by Orientals, a victory for military power, and a further consolidation of its hegemony in the Americas......"

"Obviously, His Majesty Emperor Richard got what he wanted, which was to further expand the power of the Tang Empire and its absolute dominance in North America, as well as the bad reputation of greed."

Not to be outdone, the British newspaper The Times reported the news on its front page on November 12 with the bold headline "Tang State Successfully Encroaches on the East Coast, Three White States Become Spoils of War." ”

British Prime Minister William Hassell, when asked in public about North American affairs, told reporters with a serious face;

Is London paying close attention to the changes taking place in North America, about the living conditions of the descendants of white immigrants living there, about the violations of vital religious beliefs and traditional Western ways of life?

London and Chang'an had a multi-layered and close communication channel, from the royal family to the government and then between the various departments, which was very conducive to imparting a mature and civilized colonial experience to North America.

Datang's partners assured us that the current turbulent situation would not last long......

According to sources close to Chinatown;

Prime Minister William Hassel was not as calm as he appeared at the press conference, and he publicly complained about the British military afterwards and did not show enough toughness at the right time.

The dignified Prime Minister of the British Empire, the world's recognized leader, has no option B when dealing with the chaos in North America.

Option A everyone saw it, that is, they didn't do anything, and watched Tang Guo stake his land in North America.

When asked about this, the Royal Navy replied with the usual graceful gentlemanly demeanor; "The Royal Navy has the ability to defend Great Britain's interests anywhere in the globe, provided it is authorized by the Queen's Government."

When the British Army was asked about this, it did not answer positively, but stated a fact;

"Tang used nearly 200,000 troops in a large-scale military operation in North America, and the situation was stabilized in just over two months, which is not enough time for the old men in Congress to fight their way."

Regardless of how Europeans perceived the development of the situation in North America, a new pattern had been formed in North America by the time of the New Year of 1891.

On the basis of the former United States of America, the whole country was divided into five, forming the Republic of New York, the Republic of Connecticut, the Democratic Republic of Maine, the Kingdom of Massachusetts, and the New United States (Note; formerly Washington, D.C.) in five countries, as well as Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which were included in the Tang Empire.

The total area of the above three states is 255,000 square kilometers, plus the territory of the Massachusetts Kingdom of 21,000 square kilometers, a total of 276,000 square kilometers of land has been added to the Tang Empire.

This is after the Kingdom of Kentucky and the Kingdom of Oklahoma were annexed to the empire in July 1879, the territory of the Tang Empire increased again in 1890, and the area of the empire increased from 1,962 square kilometers to 19.9 million square kilometers.

There is no doubt that the Tang Empire is the big winner who has the last laugh.

Pittsburgh

The tall Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiao was wearing a well-fitting woolen military uniform, shiny military boots, and an eye-catching Imperial Second-Class Baoding Diamond Medal on his chest, which was the highest medal that could be awarded to a colonel-level officer, representing a high honor.

The First Class Baoding Diamond Medal can only be awarded to general-level officers, and his seventh and eleventh royal brothers each have one, which is the medal of honor they received for leading their troops to conquer Cuba and the Luzon Islands, which shows that it is rare.

Under the envious gaze of the officers, Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiao strode out of the division headquarters, then got into a black car, and drove away with a smoke.

In the car

There was already a well-dressed middle-aged man waiting here, he was the brother-in-law of Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiao, Sir Tang Yaozong, executive director and general manager of BMW Automobile Factory, and he was also born in the lintel of the imperial aristocracy.

"It's just great, little grandfather, is this the Diamond Treasure Medal given by the Holy Emperor? To be honest, I've never seen one! Sir Tang Yaozong looked at this glittering medal with joy, and his mouth was amazed.

Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiao was promoted and awarded medals for his military merits, and his young face had an irrepressible look of excitement, which seemed to glow with a strange look.

But it was humble, and in response; "Brother Yaozong, it's just a fluke, not enough to worry about."

His words were met with a roll of the boss's eyes here by Sir Tang Yaozong, and said;

"Little grandpa, don't treat me as ignorant.

This is the second-class Diamond Baoding Medal personally awarded by His Majesty the Emperor, and the imperial soldiers regard it as the most glorious reward of life.

No matter what, if you want to disturb a big meal and celebrate it well, how about the famous Xiaoxiang Tower in the city?

This Qinglou Oiran heard that stroking the piano and singing music are unique, and they can be used to accompany the wine. ”

"If that's the case, then follow what my brother says." Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiao didn't squirm, and agreed with a mouthful.

Tang Yaozong, the eldest brother-in-law, laughed happily and said; "Hahaha...... The little grandfather is really cool, and he will get drunk today. ”
