Why did this guy, John Neilly Johnson, come back? Why did he become the governor again?

This matter is actually very simple. The current governor of California is still chosen once every two years. ∈ 

Johnson failed before, because their "nothing knows about the party" lost power, mainly because the party's internal opinions were disagreeable on the issue of slavery. Naturally, he stepped down after two years of governor.

There was another reason during the election campaign, that is, Johnson's policy on Chinese workers was not ruthless and weird enough, so it was normal for others to replace them.

But two years later, Johnson has become a Republican. Like most of the "Nothing Party" people, he has also joined the Republican Party, and his status in California is quite high.

In addition, this time Johnson learned the lesson from last time. The policy toward China's workforce this time was really weird!

‘Chinese people cannot be naturalized as American citizens, they cannot own real estate’… These seem OK, but, ‘the hair cannot exceed one inch, the head tax is 10 US dollars, and the remains cannot leave the country…’

Let’s put it this way, Johnson has done all the tricks that can be thought of and tricks that can be mocked, no matter how big or small!

In this way, it has really received the support of the vast majority of California people, that is, white people. You should know that there were originally more than 60,000 Chinese in California. Even if they ran a lot in the past two years, they were more unable to run. So the tickets are not worth it?

So, this is definitely a huge income. Perhaps the previous ban on Chinese people from owning property would be enough to lose. But now, let’s give all this a specific word, anyway...

Everyone says how to shave Chinese people? Whatever you think, we can only legislate!

That's what Johnson and the current California government did, and that's how they came to power.

But now there is a problem, that is, there has been news that Panama was captured by the rebels in New York before, and the one who led these rebels was a Chinese!

That guy should be named Clint Lee, and Johnson has heard of it in California, because this guy has a masterpiece, "Portrait of Dorling Gray", which seems to be written quite well.

California is too far from the east, so I only know this novel here now, and I have basically never heard of Clint Lee's other works, but.

Those guys are rebels! This is to threaten the territory of the United States of America!

Johnson noticed this very keenly. And news came out soon, that was that the Panama rebels were preparing to capture San Francisco!

These bastards!

When Johnson heard the news, he cursed. But after all, he was the governor and was responsible for defending the territory, so he quickly made preparations and began to build a defense line in San Francisco and assembled the only few warships.

These ships are usually merchant ships and are temporarily modified, but these days, the difference between warships and merchant ships is not very big. Just say that those pirates are merchants when they are not robbed. This tradition has been around for hundreds of years.

It should be said that the entire California government is still facing a great enemy, because Johnson knew very well that the military strength of California in the United States was very weak!

Let me put it this way, just now in 1862, there was no big change from the US military in California in 1855.

The reason is very simple. It’s peace. There is no war anyway. Besides, everyone is still focusing on gold digging. Moreover, after experiencing the incident in 1855, the police also took back the security power. So, now basically, the police are the army, and the army is the police, and everyone doesn’t need to be so clear about it.

However, the military still needs to have a system, that is, there must be a supreme commander. However, the commander-in-chief of the US Army in California named Williams was collapsed by Stacey's boyfriend James Scola because of a prostitute named Stacey!

The commander-in-chief died of jealousy, and it was because of a bitch.

But this also shows how weak and chaotic the army is, but fortunately, Johnson can still rely on Sheriff James F. Curtis!

Sheriff Curtis is now in charge of defense throughout San Francisco and Sacramento.

But as a result, the news came before that the rebel bastards did not attack San Francisco, but logged in to the south and beat Los Angeles down!

This... are those rebels stupid? What are they thinking?

Johnson's idea is that although he understands the law very well, he doesn't understand the war. The current situation is, what's the use of taking down a small town like Los Angeles?

Johnson couldn't see it, but some people could see it.

"Two gentlemen! I have something to say." As the chief of police in San Francisco, Curtis actually has his powers covered all the way to Sacramento. This is all historical reasons. California is in chaos. Now that war is about to fight, he is naturally responsible for the entire California defense. Therefore, he naturally has to attend the governor's meeting, but he has seen some tricks.

"Mr. Curtis, what do you think?" Johnson still gave Curtis a certain respect.

"Mr. Governor! Mr. Attorney General!" Curtis is still very polite and knows how to respect cultural people. "We cannot underestimate these actions of the rebels, you see."

Curtis took out a map, don't think this is going to fight, but the governor's office doesn't even have a map of California.

"Here." Curtis pointed to Los Angeles and said, "Los Angeles are not very useful in normal times. Just take the ships directly to San Francisco. However, this town actually guards two paths! And now, the rebels have occupied San Bernardino, so the two paths in the south are completely controlled by them. What about us now?"

"This..." Johnson and William T. Wallace didn't understand. They were both engaged in the law.

"We are now blocked by the rebels!" Curtis sighed in his heart. Seven years have passed. Curtis is no longer young. He naturally goes deeper into the problem.

"Ah?!" This time, Johnson and William Wallace understood.

"What should I do?" Wallace asked quickly.

Curtis pondered for a moment and said, "We should send a telegram to Washington now and ask Washington to give us temporary recruitment power. Otherwise, with the current military equipment in California, I guess the rebels don't need to fight. As long as there is a shortage of supplies, the gold diggers will immediately turn into thugs. At that time, the whole of California will be in chaos!"

Curtis said this very reasonably. Part of Li Mengyang’s combat plan to block California is the purpose of this, that is, block California, make the materials scarce in this place, and then cause California’s economic collapse!

Yes, just like when I was in New York, but now the Revolutionary Army is benefiting.

There were not so many people in this place in California. The reason why the official statistics now have a population of more than 300,000 is all thanks to the gold rush.

Then the gold rush. Such an economic phenomenon will indeed bring great development, but this development is also abnormal. It can even be said to be very abnormal!

There is an industry in California, of course, but this industry is mainly used to serve gold digging.

Yes, gold digging always requires tools, right? It always requires smelting? Then the main purpose of industry is to meet this.

There is gold, so what else do you have to do?

Can you farm? Can you develop agriculture?

There will be agriculture, but there will definitely be one, but it is developing very slowly because who doesn’t make gold?

Whoever is stupid will not go to find gold! Trying gold means picking up money from the ground!

So, although the prices of agricultural products will rise greatly due to inflation, and there may be some personal farming, but if we have gold, why don’t we buy them from outside?

Yes, the normal price of a barrel of flour in the eastern United States is definitely no more than 10 US dollars!

With such cheap agricultural products, why don’t we make money instead of farming ourselves? Just import it!

Everyone can calculate this account, so California's development at this time is very abnormal, and this is very normal. Such economic conditions will produce such results.

So what to do now?

"Recruitment?" Governor Johnson hesitated because he knew too well. Nowadays, what quality is there for these gold diggers?

Let’s not talk about the issue of combat effectiveness for now. Let’s talk about whether it can be obtained or not?

But!

"Mr. Governor, we have no other way, we can only do this! As for... I think if the treatment of soldiers is improved, recruitment should still be attractive." Curtis was really serious and very tactful.

"..." Johnson thought for a long time.

"Nile!" Attorney General Wallace simply called him Zhongming, "You can't hesitate anymore!"

"Okay! Just do it!" Johnson gritted his teeth!

Why is Mr. Governor so entangled?

How simple it is, it’s just because of one word, money!

I used to search for Chinese people, but now I have recruited many Chinese people, but now I have recruited military recruitment and increased treatment. I guess the amount of money will have to be blocked. How can Johnson not feel sorry for?

I guess my heart is bleeding!

However, Johnson would never imagine that the person who led the rebels to fight California this time was the Chinese who defended him in order to elect the governor!

However, Li Mengyang probably never expected that he would encounter so many old acquaintances in this military operation...

Oxnard, almost 50 miles east of Los Angeles, is still a small village now, but Li Mengyang sets his position here.

Oxnard was pushed by Mount Nevada. The Pacific Ocean is to the west of her. The terrain is narrow here, but you have to cross mountains and rivers elsewhere, so this is definitely the only way for the US military to attack Los Angeles and the best line of defense!

"Your Majesty, your supper."

"Um?"

Li Mengyang was looking at the map of California in his tent, but he suddenly felt that the one who delivered food to him today was a bit strange... (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
