Wild North America 1846

Chapter 319 Harvest a Wave of Bonuses First

Among the Datang Kingdom and the United States that came together out of geographical interests, the Datang Kingdom is undoubtedly in the dominant position of the strong, and while paying, it requires a high return.

The aspects currently agreed upon are;
On the crucial eastern battlefield, the military was dominated by the Confederate States of the United States, and the Datang Kingdom sent some troops to assist it, under the unified command of General Robert Lee.

On the western battlefield, which is currently the focus, the military is dominated by the Tang Kingdom, and the United States sends troops to assist, and is under the command of the corps of the Tang Kingdom.

Subsequent unfinished matters shall be resolved through negotiation between the two parties.

On the issue of free aid and southern refinancing, on the basis of respecting the wishes of the South, the Datang Kingdom government agreed to exert influence and provide as much convenience as possible for the materials and financial support that the South urgently needs.

at this point
President Jefferson Davis was more sober than the Yankees, until he deeply tied the importance of the interests of the Tang Kingdom.

At a time when the country is facing a crisis of life and death, let alone huge debts.

As long as you survive, you can talk about anything. At worst, the domestic economy will be kidnapped and deeply infiltrated by the Tang Kingdom. So what?
It's better to die than to live. How about an old saying in the East?

You can't have both.

On the issue of occupied territories, the Confederate States of the United States reluctantly agreed and will publicly recognize the legal sovereignty of the Datang Kingdom, which is now occupied and actually controlled by the Tang Kingdom, in the states of Tijuana, Kansas and several northern states. The position has taken a big step forward.

The original stance of the Southerners was quite tough, refusing to admit the fact that Tijuana was occupied, because in their view, Tijuana was located south of California and should be part of the territory of the Confederate States in terms of latitude.

This reason is a bit far-fetched, because Tijuana was one of the swing states after the outbreak of the Civil War. It was neither inclined to the south nor to the north, and its political stance was somewhat similar to that of a swing state like Tennessee.

That is to say, if you stand on the shore and want to be a fool, whoever wins will hang out with him.

Tijuana's calculation is not wrong, it is full of the simple and rough style of American opportunism.

It's a pity that they forgot to take a peek at their good neighbor, the Tang Kingdom. This is a real beast that can eat people. When it lazily turned over, it swallowed Tijuana, including the belt and bone, without even a chance to regret it.

If there are a few smart people in Tijuana who have learned the Chinese strategy, they should know the truth of "how can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch", and they will not make such a big oolong mistake.

The Tang Kingdom is immigrating to Tijuana on a large scale. Similar areas include Costa Rica and Mexico. The future fate of these areas is almost doomed and cannot be changed.

There has never been a precedent for the fat swallowed by the expansion of the Tang Kingdom.

Regardless of whether the North American War is over or not, Li Cha will reap the dividends first, just like Kansas, which is now fully occupied by the Tang Kingdom, the Confederate States can only hold their noses and reluctantly admit that it belongs to the Tang Dynasty Territory within the kingdom's sphere of influence.

After all, this state was lost by the Yankees in the war. The Tang Kingdom defeated the Yankees with its own military strength and seized the territory from the Yankees.

Moreover, in the Kansas Civil War that lasted for many years, the North and the South have been fighting for a long time. The Southerners have never really fully unified the occupation of Kansas and brought it into their sphere of influence.

The two sides have not signed a formal agreement on this. This kind of thing must not be based on pretext and real evidence. It only exists in the political tacit understanding between the two sides. The region speaks.

That will attract the attention of the media and the general public, and no under-the-table transactions can be hidden under investigation.

Today, the biggest unresolved issue in the conclusion of the alliance treaty between the two parties is the ownership of Monterey State.

Monterey's problem is different from that of Tijuana and Kansas. It is undoubtedly one of the constituent states of the Confederate States and part of the sacred territory of the Confederate States. How can it be ceded?

The problem is that
The Tang Kingdom must claim Monterey State, and this tough stance cannot be compromised. The 1.2 million Tang Yuan is not a free aid, and a large piece of meat from the Confederate States of the United States must be cut.

Because this is the key area to realize the Datang Kingdom's two-ocean strategy, and it is the basis for establishing the Datang Kingdom's freedom to exert important influence in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and it must be in hand.

If the golden opportunity of the North American War is not seized, it will be almost impossible to get Monterey after the war in North America is stable.

Unless the Great Tang Kingdom brazenly brazenly went to war with its allies and violently seized the land by force.

If you act like this, you will completely lose your credibility in the international political situation. Then who will dare to make friends with you in the future?

Relying on his own strength of force, even his allies are cheated.

As the leading brother, the brothers and daughter-in-laws under him will take them home if they want to. If there is no one who does this, who would be willing to follow such a leading brother?

The reasoning is the same, and the words are not rough.

Just when this contradiction reached a stalemate, a message came from Daming Palace, which immediately made the "Monterey State Issue" that had been in a deadlock come to light, and turned the corner.

The message of this compromise is; exchange territories.

Of course, the Datang Kingdom would not exchange its own territory with the Confederate States of the United States, but would instead exchange the territory of the current enemy of both sides, the United States of America.

This is a really bad idea, but it is the best way to solve the problem.

President Jefferson Davis of the Confederate States of America and the top officials of the government don’t have to worry about being scolded as “traitors” by the domestic people, and they don’t have to bear the stigma, because any state in the United States of America is far better than Monterey. It's not even a little bit strong.

Even Indiana is much better than Monterey.

Whether it is in the south or the north, there is no lack of a vast coastline bordering the Atlantic Ocean. The coastline in Monterey is naturally not eye-catching.

But Datang Kingdom is different!

If you want to grow into a world power that takes into account the interests of both oceans and maintain the necessary influence in Europe and Asia, mastering the state of Monterrey is an indispensable key factor, and you must get it quickly.

Why do you say this is a bad idea?
The Kingdom of Tang is pretending to be a good person here. No matter which free state is cut off from the United States of the North and given to the Southerners, it will be an eternal pain in the hearts of the Northern Federation, and it will also be a long-term territorial dispute between the two sides, the kind that will never end. deep hatred.

This was originally the most skillful trick of the British descendants, so Li Cha took it out and borrowed it first. It can be said that he has malicious intentions.

The last advantage of this is that it artificially created the basis for the long-term alliance between the Confederate States of the United States and the Tang Kingdom, which is simply a wonderful move.

The original alliance between the two countries was based on the exchange of interests and lacked a stable political foundation. Isn't it there now?
In this way

The North American region has formed a basic strategic pattern of 2 vs. 1. While diverting conflicts and hatred, it is very conducive to the Datang Kingdom's actions, and there is a lot of room for maneuvering out of thin air.

Just when the two countries were discussing and signing the covenant, the news of the great victory in the south came from Xuefeng Mountain, and the Tang Kingdom suddenly became a sea of ​​joy. The streets and alleys were filled with crowds beating drums and dragons Lions light firecrackers to vent their inner excitement.

The successive military successes achieved by the Datang Kingdom have also established the confidence of the United States to conclude a covenant. They have seen the dawn of defeating the Yankees, and this is enough.

Is slave
There are more than 5 troops of the Southern Military Region of the Datang Kingdom ambushing in the Xuefeng mountain area and nearly 10 militiamen gathered in the south, totaling more than 15 people.

When the bloated army led by General Sherman, which stretched for more than 20 kilometers, passed the US vanguard, the Southern Corps divided into three groups and attacked the central part of the US army.

Tens of thousands of southern troops then came over to cover up and disperse the formation that the U.S. military had just stabilized, and then chased and killed all over the mountains and plains.

The American general Sherman, who was suddenly facing a crisis, managed to stabilize the vanguard of more than 3 troops. When he was about to lead the army to counterattack, he encountered the main force of the Southern Army of the Datang Kingdom head-on.

The two sides engaged in a head-to-head fight at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain. The main force of the Southern Army led by Lieutenant General Tian Mantun used fierce artillery fire and precise long-range gun shooting to unilaterally massacre the U.S. troops and left countless corpses. He lost with hatred.

only this matchup;
The main force of the Southern Corps killed and wounded 8763 elite U.S. troops and captured more than 4700 people.

Throughout the Battle of Xuefeng Mountain
The Allied forces killed 3.67 people in the Northern Army, captured 4.93 people, and suffered about 1.48 casualties, including more than 3500 casualties from the Army of the Tang Dynasty. Destroy thousands of vehicles, countless loot of all kinds.

After this battle
There were only less than 4 remnants of General Sherman's troops left, almost lost all their supplies, and fled northward in shock.And after a few days, they merged with the 7.5 U.S. troops who returned from the striker to re-form a large corps with a total strength of more than 11.

On the other hand, about 10 troops of the Northern Army General Samuel Brown, located on the banks of the Mississippi River, retreated northward a week ago, passed through Tennessee and returned to northern Kentucky, and were approaching the metropolis of Chicago. Strengthen local defenses.

Hearing the sad news of the defeat of the U.S. troops under Sherman's troops, General Samuel Brown's troops did not pause and hesitate, and accelerated their marching speed. It is expected to arrive in Chicago in about 10 days.

Judging from the current situation, there is no additional military force that can stop General Samuel Brown's more than 10 US troops from converging with the large number of militias that are being mobilized in Chicago.

But the defeat of the 11 remnants of Sherman's troops who stayed in the south would be miserable. The Southern Army has gathered 5 more elite militiamen from its allies and formed a field regiment with a total strength of 10. After three days of rest, Depart north.

Its purpose is to join forces with the Colorado Corps, which has a total strength of about 19 troops (including the 3 troops under General Hill's troops in the southern United States), to open a large network of joint north-south attacks, and strive to capture the 11 remnants of Sherman's troops. All losers will stay.

General Sherman, the northern army, is the most powerful and most powerful northern army field force in the entire western theater. If they can be completely wiped out, the situation on the entire western front will become clearer.
