Chapter 725 Unconcealed Ambition
Looking down from the third floor, Philadelphia's historic district is bustling with traffic, and the armed patrols on the streets are no longer visible, replaced by three-person mounted police.
But at important intersections, there are still military sentry checks, and such strict military control has lasted for a year.
In Pennsylvania and Ohio, clashes between the military and police and violent North American cowboys have occurred from time to time, and many have finally subsided under severe repression.
But sharp conflicts between whites and Chinese persisted, with retired officers and soldiers of Chinese descent more likely to secure junior positions in government and recruited as police officers in large numbers, and Chinese immigrants more likely to get decent jobs in factories and trading houses.
The stable and generous income of Chinese Americans, coupled with their higher social status, makes it more attractive to white girls and easy to win the approval of white girls' families.
This is also the main reason why Chinese immigrants and local white girls intermarry in large numbers, which causes strong hostility among young white men, who tend to act irrationally.
For example, actively provoking the police or a man and woman in love, the results are often not very good.
Estimated by Lord Pan Shouguo
Stricter control measures will continue for another 2~3 years, and the situation will be much better when more retired soldiers settle in these eastern provinces, when more Chinese immigrants become the mainstream of society, and when more whites realize that resistance is just a desperate struggle.
It's been more than a year
The military and police of the Tang Dynasty have greatly reduced the presence of African residents by collecting black residents in various places, concentrating them in ports, and sending them to Africa in a unified manner.
The blacks who were occasionally left behind were mostly protected or hidden by their white manor owners, and were not discovered for the time being.
The government has issued a restraining order, but there are still some sympathetic white estate owners who take the risk and face severe punishment if they are caught.
Compared with the central, southern and western regions of North America, which have been governed by the empire for 10 years, the security in the eastern region is still relatively chaotic, and it will take time to sort it out.
Lord Pan Shouguo deeply agrees with His Majesty the Emperor's steady strategy of population assimilation, and 10 years ago the Great Plains of Central North America were as wild and wild as they are now.
After two or three generations, the strong assimilation ability of Chinese culture will show its power......
It can be seen from the school that although the facial contours of mixed-race children are more obvious, and there are many children with blue eyes, the vast majority of them are black-haired children, and very few have blond hair.
By the time of their next generation, black hair and black eyes will occupy the vast majority, and the European characteristics of mixed-race children will gradually become more and more Chinese.
in North America
It has become a common trend for many white families to abandon the monotonous bread and potato diet in favor of the Chinese diet.
For breakfast, drink a glass of hot milk or a bowl of hot porridge, two fried dough sticks or fried coke rings, vegetable buns, baked cakes, or with mutton soup or beef offal soup, and eat them every day.
At noon or at night, the whole family eats steaming fish stew or stewed chicken stickers around the big iron pot, and the whole body is warm with sweat and sweat, isn't it comfortable?
For more particular aristocrats or middle-class families, the chef stir-fried seventy or eighty dishes, and the food was nutritious and decent, and the key taste was great.
No matter which city in the Tang Empire, every evening, the rich aroma of lively restaurants is the most attractive place.
In particular, the men who got off work would get together, both white and Chinese, and they would order a few dishes and drink them openly, which was much more lively than going to a tavern.
Coming and going, the average white family also recognized of this way of life, liked and embraced it.
Everything we see and hear shows that the land of America is changing, from North America to Central America to South America.
Back at your desk
Lord Pan Shouguo took a hard puff of his cigarette, then snuffed out the cigarette butt in the brass ashtray, then rang the bell, and called the secretary to command;
"For the record, in mid-January next year, there will be a joint British and French delegation visiting, the main purpose of which is to discuss the second round of negotiations on international debt restructuring and put it on the work agenda."
"Yes, Lord Ministry, what else do you have to order?"
"No, let's go down."
"Obey the order, and retire from your duties."
The secretary immediately turned away and turned back to close the door.
At this moment, thousands of miles away at the Charlotte Castle in Berlin
Standing in front of the large world map in the study, Wilhelm II followed the posture of the legendary Tang Emperor Richard, pinching his waist in one hand and holding the intricately shaped royal scepter in the other, examining the map with the majesty of the king's landing.
On the African continent, where the colonization frenzy was set off, the German colonizers had already occupied a large number of colonies in German West Africa and German East Africa, as well as the colony of German Cameroon, with a total territory of more than 1.7 million square kilometers.
Kaiser Wilhelm II stroked the upturned Prussian beard with satisfaction, and Germany was singing in Africa, and the colonies it would conquer in the future were second only to Britain and France, and far higher than the Tang Dynasty.
Today, the Tang Dynasty is only a narrow strip of land bordering the Red Sea, thick at one end and thin at the other, shaped like a hammer.
But looking back, Kaiser Wilhelm II couldn't laugh anymore.
The vast Pacific Islands were almost occupied by the Tang Empire, and the Paradise Island Province directly north of Australia, plus the Luzon Islands in Southeast Asia, stretched north to the Ryukyu Kingdom, the Anmei Kingdom, the Fuso Kingdom and the Beihai Province, almost all of which were the spheres of influence or vassal states of the Tang Empire.
The Pacific Ocean, which occupies almost 1/3 of the earth's surface area, has completely become the inner lake of the Tang Empire, and the Americas are even more impressive, and the vast imperial territory stretching from North America to Central America and South America is so dazzling.
Comparatively
If the Tang Empire's sphere of influence is a complete big watermelon, then Germany is three or four small peas, and Europe itself is the smallest little pea.
Kaiser Wilhelm II summed it up;
Compared with the colonies of the larger British Empire throughout the world, the Tang Empire's sphere of influence was more concentrated, encompassing South America, North and Central America, and the vast Pacific region, and made the entire American region its own backyard.
Such a favorable situation made his jealous heart turn upside down.
Especially in recent times, the Tang Empire has further encroached on Maryland, Delaware and Washington, D.C., and the envy of William II is even more exciting.
During his more than a year-long tour of the Americas, Wilhelm II personally visited Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and other famous cities to explore the early German settlers, and spent a long time in the streets and alleys with European characteristics.
He knows; It is the best part of the East Coast's historic development and is also a white neighborhood.
Now, it is almost equal to most of the German Empire (Note; Including three states and one domain, plus Maryland and Delaware), the rich land fell into the hands of the Tang Empire so easily, which made him go crazy.
God knows, it's hellish to conquer such a large area of land in Europe.
Sensei said that there were 200,000 troops, even 4 million troops could not be defeated.
Germany's borders in Europe were already defined, with the mighty France to the south and west, the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the northeast, the Russian Empire to the southeast, and the most powerful British Empire in the world across the sea.
And the Tang Empire is like a giant beast lying in the Americas, with fat and delicious prey everywhere around its mouth, as long as it opens its bloody mouth, it can easily be eaten.
Look around
There is no power that can balance him, and even a little containment cannot be done.
Moreover, it has the advantages of two oceans, and when the world powers such as Britain, France and Germany want to interfere, they are deeply unable to do so.
Wilhelm II often had a delusion;
It seems that the Tang Empire is God's own son, otherwise why would he be so pitiful to him?
Turning back to Europe, the map shows the German Empire squeezed in the middle of a group of great powers, at the crossroads of Western Europe, and the surrounding area is really crowded.
Just like the kingdoms of Belgium, the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of Denmark along the coast, they are all jars of beans that cannot be pinched and smashed, properly stubble, and there is no one who is easy to get along with.
With the exception of the Balkans, the situation in Europe as a whole is almost solidified, and it is extremely difficult to move.
Wilhelm II read the map of Europe a thousand times, and finally had to admit a fact in frustration;
The German Empire had little room for development in Europe other than holding on to its homeland, and its only hope for expansion lay overseas.
However, the colonies in the world have been invaded and occupied by Britain, France, Tang, Russia and the Netherlands and other colonial powers, and most of the good territories have owners.
If we want to realize "Germany of the world, Germany under the sun", it is inevitable to break the old order and grab meat from the mouths of Britain, France, Tang and other colonial powers.
Thus, Kaiser Wilhelm II and his advisers gradually came to an agreement;
If you want to expand overseas, you must build a strong navy in order to start a duel with Britain to redivide the world.
The future of Germany is at sea, in the hands of the great German nation.
After a long search, Kaiser Wilhelm II finally reluctantly moved away from the vast territory of the Americas, which was dyed bright yellow, and that piece of fat was not something he could remember now.
German expansion would first have to break through the British monopoly in the North Atlantic, which would inevitably undermine the maritime supremacy of the British Empire, which would be a dangerous path to rise.
At this moment, the words of Major General Tirpitz echoed in the ears of Kaiser Wilhelm II;
"The German Empire should have a great navy commensurate with its position, and the purpose of this great navy is to make it dare not challenge the greatest sea powers, or risk destroying its superiority."
These provocative words stirred Wilhelm II's heartbeat, and Major General Tirpitz's unconcealed maritime ambitions just hit his cardinal point, and he couldn't help but be leisurely fascinated.
Finally, looking at the world map, the Tang Empire's large expanse of bright yellow fertile territory almost made Wilhelm II's saliva almost flow out.
After a moment of "snorting", Wilhelm II's gaze became firm again, and in order to realize the dream of "world Germany", even if he annoyed Britain, he did not hesitate.
God willing, great Germany will prevail!
