The carriage was walking on the straight road that ran across the United States of North America. Just looking at the endless plain outside the car window, you could already feel the infinite potential of this country. Wu Yuankai, who was born and raised in the Great Zhou Dynasty, could not imagine that there was such a flat land in the world before arriving in North America, and could not imagine that there would be a straight road of 4,000 miles long, paving straight on the boundless plain.

The road called a straight road is actually part of a road transportation system that crosses the North American continent. In this system, in addition to this straight, good hard road surface and very wide main road, there are also many branch roads leading to the North American states and counties where the straight road passes. The two ends of the straight road are also connected to the highway system called "West Coast Avenue" and "East Coast Avenue".

"West Coast Avenue", "East Coast Avenue" and "Straight" are both part of the United States' major transportation plan, which is a product of the North American East Coast development, and is built using the United States' abundant fiscal revenue and the cheap labor of white slave workers.

The entire project lasted for decades, built countless bridges, laid thousands of miles of roads with hard pavements, and dug hundreds of miles of canals to connect several important water systems.

After the completion of the "Great Transportation Plan", various parts of the United States of North America, which are much larger than the Dazhou area, can finally be connected by convenient transportation.

However, what really made Wu Yuankai amazed was not the huge construction similar to this huge transportation plan, which had been carried out in the Great Zhou Republic! The manpower and material resources spent on the Yellow River, Huaihe River and Canal management projects that lasted for decades were enough to match the large transportation plan.

What really surprised Wu Yuankai was the unique natural conditions and terrain of the United States of North America.

The vast plains, rushing rivers, jealous coastlines, and resources such as iron ore, coal, gold, silver, brass, wood, etc. are combined together in the most economical and convenient distribution method, allowing people to develop and utilize them with the lowest transportation costs and the least investment.

The only thing that makes people feel inconvenient is that there is no canal connecting the Shang Sea and the Eastern Ocean in the narrow eight countries south of the United States... Otherwise, the growth rate of this country will be even more amazing!

In addition to the team of cavalrymen of the United States of North America who served as guards, there were Song Yuanshan and Song Qingfeng and his son, and there was also a white woman with white skin, picturesque facial features, and golden hair.

There were four people in the wide carriage. Among them, Song Yuanshan went to Xinhua Palace on the west coast as an envoy who returned to China to report his life. Song Qingshan, as Deputy Secretary of State, accompanied Wu Yuankai to the west coast to attend a meeting.

The female slave of Baifan was named Natalia, a female slave from Jinshulus. It is said that she was from the family of the envoy of the Light Cult. She was implicated because her father participated in a conspiracy against the Holy Maiden of Light, Hutulunchahan. She was punished to be an official slave, and later she was envied by others because of her beauty. So she sold it to the United States of North America. Of course, this sad and moving story was something Song Yuanshan, who had been in Europe for many years, didn't believe in it for a word.

This woman was mostly trained by Egyptian human traffickers since childhood and sold for a lot of money. She made up a story just to fool a rich man from the New World like Wu Yuankai... Wu Yuankai mostly spent a lot of money on this woman. I wonder if there are a thousand silver coins?

However, money is just a number for him, Wu Haogu's direct descendant. What is really troublesome is probably the future marriage.

Although the deputy secretary of state is twenty-seven or eight years old this year, he has not officially married. It must be the family that arranged some marriage for him. The marriage partner is too young to get married, right?

Seeing this kid being young, he became deputy secretary of state as soon as he arrived in North America. His background would not be simple, and his fiancée must be a big shot.

If he is really fascinated by this Natalia, his home will be lively in the future...

"Deputy Envoy Song," Wu Yuankai's voice interrupted the "gossip" in Song Yuanshan's mind, "You have been in the West for many years, and you should have been to many countries, right?"

"Not many," Song Yuanshan smiled, "besides the Golden Horde, I have only been to the Great Mongolia-Persian Empire and the Egyptian Empire."

Wu Yuankai nodded, "Then have you ever met Princess Anna in Egypt?"

"Princess Anna?" Song Yuanshan was stunned, "She is the crown prince of the Egyptian Empire!"

The Egyptian Empire was created by a queen, so its inheritance rules are different from all monarchies in the world. It implements the first child of the king's inheritance system, and both men and women are the first candidates for the crown prince.

Therefore, there are often empresses in this country... but the reputation of the Egyptian queen is not very good. Except for the first generation of Emperor Anna (Anna I), the other empresses are all romantic queens.

Could it be that the eldest princess of Egypt is Wu Yuankai's fiancée? Song Yuanshan couldn't help but look at Wu Yuankai's head... and now he is wearing a black black veil. I'm afraid he will be replaced by a cuckold in the future?

"Ah," Song Yuanshan said, "Princess Anna is a rare beauty... Her father is the Egyptian Emperor Anthony I, and her mother comes from the Liurik family of the Golden Horde. The Liurik family was the former royal family of Kievan Rus, and now it is a descendant who intermarried with the Golden Horde, and has a very noble bloodline."

Egyptian emperors and queens generally marry foreign royal families or nobles, and the marriage object does not necessarily come from Christian countries. The royal nobles of the Golden Horde, Mongolia-Persian Empire, Holy Roman Empire and France all married Egypt's Komuning Dynasty.

However, the Song and Northern Zhou dynasties in the East have never joined the marriage game in the Western world.

These three countries have never used marriage and kinship as a means of international diplomacy. Could it be that they will make a breakthrough now?

But why did the Wu family of Great Zhou break the rules and let their "prince" marry into Egypt and marry a romantic queen?

And this happened at the end of the Great Mongolia War and the Black Death epidemic... It was very unusual!

Wu Yuankai seemed to see Song Yuanshan’s thoughts and smiled bitterly: “This is what my father meant… He felt that the Great Zhou Republic and the Wu family needed to seize the good opportunity of a ceasefire in the Western world.”

What opportunities are there?

Wu Yuankai said something vaguely, and Song Yuanshan didn't ask too much, but just smiled like a response: "You must congratulate Shaoqing (Deputy Secretary of State, also known as Shaoqing Secretary of State)."

Wu Yuankai nodded slightly and said nothing.

At this time, his mind had already flown to Alexander thousands of miles away...that was his future home.

The marriage with the Egyptian princess was ten years ago, when the saint of light, Hutulunchahan began to plan a ceasefire and peace agreement.

At that time, Princess Anna was only six years old and was still a cute luoli. Of course, Wu Yuankai could not marry a six-year-old girl, so he could only wait for his fiancée to grow up, which she had never met before.

While waiting, the two generations of heads of the "Yijiu" sect of the Wu family and the Great Zhou Republic have been spared no effort to cultivate him.

Not only did he experience it in the army and at sea, but he also served as Secretary of State for the United States of North America.

It can be said that Wu Yuankai’s current resume is perfect to the point of impeccable... I just don’t know if the future little queen of Egypt will be satisfied with this husband who is twelve years older than her?

As he grew up, Wu Yuankai gradually realized a huge conspiracy. His marriage must have nothing to do with love. He had known this for a long time. But he did not expect that his marriage would become part of the preparations for a war!

That's right, it's just war preparation!

Since more than ten years ago, the Great Zhou Republic has begun to secretly prepare to launch the Fourth Central Plains War.

By the way, the Third Central Plains War occurred more than 60 years ago. The war was initiated by the Western Song Dynasty, with the purpose of seizing Guangdong and Guangxi of the Eastern Song Dynasty and obtaining an outlet. As a result, the Great Zhou was also involved in the war, which made the Western Song Dynasty's attempts fail again.

Now, the peace that has lasted for decades in the Central Plains is about to be broken. Unlike the previous second and third world wars, this Central Plains War will be initiated by the Great Zhou Republic.

The purpose of the war is to unify China!

Due to the rapid growth of American colonies and the stimulus effect brought by the huge amount of gold and silver flowing into the Great Zhou land, the balance between the three Chinese heroes has now been broken.

The population of the Great Zhou Republic (including all colonies) has exceeded 180 million. It is more than 120 million in the Eastern Song Dynasty!

The population of the Western Song Dynasty was still hovering around 60 million.

In other words, the population of the Great Zhou Dynasty is equivalent to the union of the Song Dynasty!

Moreover, the Great Zhou Republic not only has a large population, but its economy and tax revenue are far greater than the union of the two Song dynasties. After all, the Great Zhou possesses the treasure land of America, and the land and resources occupied by them have been several times larger than that of the Eastern Song Dynasty, not to mention the bitter Western Song Dynasty.

In addition to population, economy, and taxation, the Great Zhou Republic also has a trump card, which is bird droppings!

Yes, it's bird droppings!

Bird guano produced in Nantian Province, the west coast of South America, has now become a strategically valuable international trade product.

The reason for this is mainly because the population of the Great Zhou, Eastern Song and Western Song dynasties has been growing in the past two hundred years. It has now exceeded 300 million!

But at the same time, the Great Zhou and Eastern Song dynasties did not plant high-yield crops in the Americas on a large scale. These two countries are "RMB players" who have their own new continents. How can the real imperialism that the people can live by eating sweet potatoes and corn cobs?

Is sweet potatoes prosperous? This is not possible.

The people of imperialism all want to eat large pieces of meat! Who has ever seen imperialism that eats sweet potatoes every day?

In other words, when the population of the Eastern Song and Great Zhou people "exploded" and the total number exceeded 240 million, the people not only ate full, but also ate well. Sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes were also planted, but they were not staple foods, but side foods and snacks.

The staple food is rice and white flour, and the consumption of various meats is large. According to incomplete statistics, an adult from the Eastern Song Dynasty or Northern Zhou Dynasty can consume an average of about 40 kilograms of various meats a year (that is, one tael or two taels of meat a day). These meats are all green foods!

It’s really extravagant to consume so much "green meat" in a year. It’s definitely imperialism!

What supports this imperialist dietary structure are less than 1 billion mu of arable land, hundreds of millions of arable acres of pasture and four grain-producing colonies including Jiaozhi, Annan, Chameng, and Java.

It should be noted that the approximately 1 billion mu of arable land located in the Eastern Song and Great Zhou (the Great Zhou locals include Japan and Goryeo) are not all used to produce grain. A considerable part is used to produce economic crops such as cotton and mulberry leaves, and a considerable part of the land is operated by rotation. The land used to sow grain every year is between 500 million and 600 million mu.

So a little grain grown from the land, plus the imports from Jiaozhi, Annan, Chameng and Java, not only have to supply rations for tens of millions of people, but also have to feed hundreds of millions of cattle, sheep, pigs and horses. It was simply unimaginable two hundred years ago!

At that time, there were 600 million mu of arable land in the Song Dynasty, which only allowed 100 million people to live a prosperous life of not having enough food and not being hungry.

Now the population of the Eastern Song Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty can reach 240 million!

The biggest reason that so many people can live similar to the people of imperialist countries is that in addition to the imports from Jiaozhi, Annan, Chameng and Java is that the guano produced in several small islands in the Nantian Province of South America and bird guano in a desert. The bird guano on the islands is extremely high-quality fertilizer. In the years without fertilizer, it plays a great role in increasing the yield of the land.

Therefore, the Eastern Song and Dazhou, which started to have a "population explosion" decades ago, began to suffer from guano dependence.

Especially the narrow land of the Eastern Song Dynasty, relying solely on the Jianghuai, Jiangnan and Jiaozhi, three tracts of land that only need to support more than 110 million people, and also plant a large number of cash crops, relying on a large amount of bird dropping imported from South America.

Once the import of bird droppings is interrupted, there will be big problems with the dining tables of more than 110 million people in the Eastern Song Dynasty!

Food is the most important thing for people, and it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Once the working people of the Eastern Song Dynasty who were used to eating and drinking were facing food supply tightly, they would only cause trouble if they didn’t cause any trouble!

So when the Western Great Mongolia War finally came to an end due to the plague, the politicians of the Eastern World Great Zhou Republic began their long-planned war process.

The first is to turn the little queen of the most powerful Egyptian empire in the West into the daughter-in-law of the Wu family through political marriage to prevent the powerful Egyptian fleet from standing on the side of the Eastern Song Empire.
