Wild North America 1846

Chapter 340 Border Dispute
Li Cha would not agree to any of these unreasonable demands made by Prime Minister Temple, but he would not refuse them outright. He would just do Tai Chi and push his hands. This is something the Chinese are very good at.

Taking advantage of the backwardness of today's information transmission, it takes nearly a month for an overseas letter to be exchanged. After a few Taijiquan fights, it will be delayed until 1861...

International politics is not a matter of pique, nor is it a matter of short-term disputes. It is about weighing the pros and cons to make the correct decision that best suits the national interest.

Don't lose your composure because of anger, don't lose your strategy because of anger, let alone raise troops because of anger, that is the next best policy.

Just like a mad dog barking like Prime Minister Temple, you can't turn around and bite him a few times. It's not worth it if you get nagged!
Li Cha is now ruling the huge Tang Kingdom, with a total population of more than 2100 million (note; the statistics at the end of 1859 were 1937 million.), such a large family business cannot be reckless.

It's already the end of September 1860, and Li Cha didn't plan to reply immediately. It's okay to delay it for two or three weeks. Who shouldn't think about such an important issue?

Replying to Queen Victoria's letter is easy, nothing more than saying some good words, expressing that as a loyal and humble vassal of Her Majesty the Queen, I am willing to see the British Empire play an irreplaceable leading role in world affairs, including American affairs.

This is a correct attitude, and Her Majesty the Queen must be satisfied.

The rest will talk about that the Tang Kingdom will be rooted in and developed in North America, and will not pursue the solemn promise of complete unification of North America, so as to give Queen Victoria a reassurance.

The expansion trend shown by the Tang Kingdom is indeed quite appalling, and the huge appetite of whales will inevitably make the British suspicious.

If the Tang Kingdom really intends to unify North America, it is completely foreseeable that the British and French powers will jointly form an expeditionary force with a probability of more than 9%. It will be a war much larger than the current scale, and there will be no final winner.

Does anyone have questions?
At this point in the North American War, we have not seen the strong will of world powers such as Britain and France to intervene. Is this kind of speculation a bit alarmist?
In fact, not at all, Li Cha's mysterious premonition knew the great danger that this choice faced, as if standing on the edge of a cliff in a 12-level gale, blowing the whole person totteringly, and there was a danger of slipping into the abyss at any time and falling to pieces.

National integration is extremely difficult. England and Scotland have been co-owners for more than 700 years, and they are still very different.

King Henry VIII ruled Ireland in 1541 and concurrently served as the king of Ireland, but so far no British person thinks that Ireland is the British, and Ireland will always be the Irish.

The province of Quebec, a colony of British Canada, is a place where French people gather. It began to seek independence 100 years ago, and it is still the same 100 years later.

The Tang Kingdom is not yet strong enough to fight against the entire white world. If it really swallows the United States of America, will the Tang Kingdom have the ability to absorb more than 1600 million white people?
In fact, it is absolutely impossible, and it is impossible for the Tang Kingdom to adopt a brutal slavery policy similar to that of the native Indians against the white people.

It was not only holding a huge charcoal basin, but also holding a huge thunder. Once it exploded, it could blow up the newly born Datang Kingdom at any time, leaving no bones left.

How stupid does one have to be to be so greedy?

In summary

From the very beginning until now, Richard has controlled his expansion ambitions very well, staying in the west of Indiana, which includes the core areas of the Great Lakes centered on Chicago and Detroit, about 7~8 The vast geographical scope of the state is enough to meet the goal of the Datang Kingdom to establish the foundation of North American hegemony.

For the post-war United States, the South and the North adopted weakening and splitting as the dominant policy, supplemented by soft means such as financial penetration and economic control, and cultural influence, which can also achieve the goal of dominating North America.

After answering the concerns of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, it is easy to deal with Prime Minister Temple. One word is "delay".

Waiting for change, using the word "drag" to buy time for military expansion, gain favorable bargaining chips and momentum, and strive to defeat the North first...

After the occupation of Chicago, the Northern Army and the Colorado Army parted ways, each attacking in different directions, and began to invade and occupy the Great Plains of Central America, implementing further plans to swallow whales.

The northern corps, which was originally a collection of heavy troops, was dismantled, and 3 to 4 divisions were used as an independent combat unit, called the "army". It was divided into the first army to the fifth army, and swept the eastern plains all the way.

From August to early October, it basically occupied most of Michigan, Illinois, Missouri and Indiana, and pushed the front line from Detroit to Cincinnati on the Mississippi River.

In addition, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, and Wisconsin, which were previously included in the bag, have already occupied more than [-]% of the entire Central American Plains (Northern Commonwealth). The only thing that is lacking is Detroit, the capital of Michigan.

Detroit is a city on the US-Canada border and the largest city in Michigan. It is only 333 kilometers away from Toronto, the largest city in British Canada. It was once occupied by the British army in 1812 and was later taken back by the Americans. The geographical location is very sensitive.

on the US-Canada border

After the 502nd Division belonging to the Second Army swept the small town of Cambert on the border, a group of Canadian cavalry appeared far ahead, crossed the stream that marked the border between the two countries and came to the hill. A small town filled with smoke.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju immediately mounted his horse, took the guard company cavalry and rushed out of the town, galloping towards the opponent.

When the two sides approached to a range of more than 200 meters, Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju took out his pistol and aimed it at the sky and fired 6 shots in a row.

The two sides approached more than 30 meters before starting to slow down. The cavalry of the Datang Kingdom almost rushed into the ranks of the Canadian Mounted Police, scaring the white Canadians back again and again.

"Leave Canadians here immediately, or I will arrest you for crossing the border without authorization. If you resist, you will be killed without mercy. This is the last serious warning." Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju shouted loudly, with a very stern tone.

This made the faces of more than two dozen Canadian Mounted Police look ugly, and an officer with the rank of second lieutenant said; "Sir, you should understand who you are talking to, we are the British Royal Canadian Mounted Police, under any circumstances All should be respected. We are conducting routine border patrol missions, please do not wantonly provoke conflicts."

"You have crossed the line, idiot." Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju rode on the horse, took out the bullets and loaded them into the pistol calmly, and said while loading the bullets; "You still have time to turn around and go back, when I finish loading the bullets, I'll blow your dog's head off with one shot and you'll go to hell to reason."

"you……"

The second lieutenant's face turned pale with anger, but looking at Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju's cold eyes, it was the awe-inspiring murderous aura rolling out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, which made people's backs shudder.

He didn't dare to say too much, because this fearsome Eastern officer was almost full of bullets, and he had no doubt that he would do what he said.

So the white second lieutenant waved his hand back and said hastily; "They are all lunatics, let's go."

The white second lieutenant led more than [-] riders to turn their horses hastily and galloped towards Canada. They quickly crossed the shallow stream and returned to the north side, then stopped with resentment.

Who knew that Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju laughed heartily, inserted the pistol into the holster with a calm expression, sat down gracefully on the horse and gave a military salute, and said; Take it to heart, now let me formally introduce myself, Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju, Commander of the 502nd Division of the Second Army of the Northern Corps, nice to meet you, my fellow Canadians."

His face changed so quickly that the white second lieutenant felt a little confused. He looked around at his companion's eyes for confirmation, and then said with a shy expression; "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, what happened just now is really impressive. I It is Second Lieutenant Michael Ney, Captain of the Second Squadron, Seventh Squadron, Toronto RCMP, and I hope you can explain your rude behavior."

"No explanation."

"Watt (what)?" The white second lieutenant showed a confused black question mark face.

"Look at the situation, when you cross the border, as a military officer who shoulders the responsibility of defending the country, I will not hesitate to raise my gun and kill your dog's head, and let your corpses lie in this fertile land. The land is rotten and fermented, and it's useless when God comes." Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju put down his harsh words without changing his face, and then became kind again, spreading his hands and continuing;
"There is an old proverb in the East; he who does not know is not guilty. I can forgive you for this first crossing, but it will never happen again. Now that Mr. Ensign and your companions are back on the Canadian side, we can Have a friendly conversation. Talk about anything from a brown bear you meet on your road patrol to a date with a pretty girl at night."

Are you talking about your sister?

The white second lieutenant's face turned dark. He has never encountered such a tough and difficult opponent. The original American militiamen are very talkative. Even if the Canadian Mounted Police went to the small town of Cambert for fun, no one would say anything. .

It will be very convenient to travel between the two places. There are even many relatives and friends of Canadians in the small town of Cambert. The two sides walk around like neighbors. It is common to sit down and have a beer in a tavern if you have nothing to do.

Therefore, the concept of national borders was left behind by them, and they were completely unaware of their crossing.

But now everything has changed. The vicious orientals have come, occupied and ruled this area, and it is no longer possible to freely cross the border as before.

"This makes me feel very bad, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I will report everything I see to the top. I hope you can treat those people in Cambert town well. Many of them are our family and friends. The familiar one."

"Take care of your own affairs, Mr. Second Lieutenant. If you don't want border conflicts between the two sides, you must strictly restrain your subordinates from crossing the border. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy. This is my solemn promise to you."

"I will keep this in mind and report back. I hope you will continue to be tough as always."

"Don't worry, Mr. Second Lieutenant, the Yankees said the same thing to me in Chicago. Now they are all going to hell in line. I don't want you to be next."

"Let's stop talking, this is too bad." The white second lieutenant couldn't continue the conversation, and he slammed his feet on the horse's belly and shouted; "Drive...", the horse that sat down immediately rushed out , galloping toward the northeast direction at high speed.

He glanced at the murderous Dongfang soldiers in a group of mounted police officers with complicated expressions, and then he rode away and disappeared into the broad-leaved forest path in the distance.

"Master, if you block them back so forcefully, there won't be any problem?" Lieutenant Hu Dachuan, the company commander of the guard, approached him worriedly and asked.

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju glanced at the North with a look of contempt, and sat on the horse and replied proudly; "These ghosts have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and dare to open a dyeing workshop if they are given three points of color. How can I serve them? How dare I provoke them directly? If the head is chopped off, if there is trouble, the officer will naturally face it, we are not used to these bad habits."

"The other side of the town?"

"Catch those who should be arrested, and those who should be robbed. Our army is not a philanthropist. In this small town, every white family counts as one. Almost every family has someone who serves as a soldier in the Northern Army. Is it wrong to arrest them?"

"Teacher, if you explain it like this, we will count."

"Fuck me, be smart. All the strong white men will be incorporated into the supply regiment. When the time comes, you will be able to go to the battlefield after training. Don't forget that Detroit is going to be fought. Our 502nd Division must rush to the front and pull more. The cannon fodder brothers will lose less, and this truth must be explained clearly to everyone.”

"I didn't mention Master, which of the ghosts below has no white blood debt in their hands? As long as they put on our military uniform, they can only go to the dark and follow us from now on. How can they understand?"

"It's just you kid who is smart, let's go, go back and have a look..."

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju cursed with a smile, and then rode his horse towards the small town of Cambert, talking and laughing along the way and not in a hurry, anyway, there were no urgent combat missions during this time.

To play Detroit, it will almost be after mid-November.

The so-called; ass determines attitude.

Since Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengju was the commander of the 502nd Division, he knew that the attack mission of the Second Army must be the 502nd Division, the white servant division, who would go first, and casualties would be inevitable.

Therefore, when carrying out the task of cleaning up villages and towns, by the way, thousands of strong white men were recruited to join the supply regiment, and they were trained as soon as they were caught in their spare time.

This caused the 502nd Division to have a supply regiment of more than 4700 people. These people had to be supported by the 502nd Division. Therefore, when they cleared the towns and towns, they were a little more ruthless, and they collected a lot of extra food and civilian weapons. Cannon fodder go to the battlefield empty-handed, right?

Anyway, these white cannon fodder have no establishment. They die when they die on the battlefield, and they don't even need statistics.

If the 502nd Division suffers from combat attrition, it can quickly be supplemented to restore its strength.When fighting, bear the brunt of it, it can be said that it can kill multiple birds with one stroke.

This practice of the 502nd Division is not uncommon. There are more or less similar situations in other white servant divisions, but not as many people as the 502nd Division, which is almost half the division's strength.

Anyway, Shangfeng turned a blind eye, as long as he could complete the task during the war, he would not be too strict with the white servants.
