Chapter 159 Washington is beyond the reach of the state, and the ruins are rebuilt!
"What?! Those thugs actually fought to San Francisco!?"
This roar can be heard across three streets of the White House.
After Lincoln saw the telegram in California, he was in a bad mood. He was already tall, but now he has grown by about ten centimeters!
Why?
My hair was so angry that I stood up!
"What's worse is that there was a Chinese riot before. Clint Lee was a Chinese. Maybe this riot was created by him." Mr. Salmon Chase was quite calm. Anyway, it was California. To be honest, he didn't have any special feeling at all.
But Lincoln is different.
"Oh!" Lincoln is the president. If California is lost, then the south will be divided during his term, and now California is lost. He is probably the worst in American history, right? There is too much land lost.
"California..." Lincoln had a little fantasy. He wanted to ask his comrades whether California could still be saved, but.
"Mr. President, what you need to consider now is not California, we can't control it at all. You should think about how to face the next battle." War Minister Cameron was extremely calm at this time. After returning from New York, this guy was very proud because he had dealt with the rebels.
"Yes, we are about to take the next military operation. Our 500,000 army will crush every town in the south! So, Mr. President, don't be anxious about California now. Besides, we can't control them at all. Why not wait until you defeat the Southerners before finding a way!" Secretary of State Sward is still so conceited and smart.
"Mr. President! We still have to focus on dealing with the South. California. We can use the previous methods." The old man Chase came up with a bad idea.
The Northern Federation is at a critical moment at this time. Before, 500,000 volunteer troops were recruited, and they really wanted to attack the Southerners.
I lost too much before and was too shameless. I would just play hard this time!
"Oh~" But to be honest, Lincoln didn't have much thought about his army. The current military commander-in-chief is still McClellan, and this guy is still like an old lady.
But Lincoln really had no choice. He understood that the current Northern Federation had no power to care about the affairs of the West, and that was too far away. Even if he wanted to go to the West, it would take more than 40 days to ride fast horses, not to mention that the current American army is basically concentrated in the east.
There is a general in the west, which is Us Grant, but the so-called west is actually in New Orleans, which is still far from the real west.
So, Lincoln was really powerless in California. He had received several telegrams before, but he could only let the governor of California handle it himself. There was no way. It seemed that he could only use Chase's old trick, that is, blockade.
"Gentlemen! Let's study, should we let General McClellan go south now or wait?" Sure enough, Lincoln was a smart guy, and he knew when he should do what he should do.
It should be said that Lincoln was an excellent politician and he almost never went against public opinion. It was as if he had not been president. Although he opposed slavery at that time, when he was defeated by the little giant, he immediately said that if slavery was useful in maintaining national unity, it could be retained.
To put it bluntly, Lincoln knows how to adapt to public opinion, which is why he can become the president. Now, of course, the focus of the whole United States is not on California, but in the east, Washington and Richmond, one of the north and south sides must fall!
Lincoln made his wise choice, so what is going on in California now?
The sun in California is still so vicious, and after the baptism of war, San Francisco has completely lost its former prosperity. It has been replaced by dark houses and messy streets and squares.
We can only describe the streets as "films", because this is no longer the reason why the streets have been destroyed, the houses have been burned out, and people have also run away.
I have to say that the fire of the Chinese workers almost erupted his aggrievances, and this fire was really choking!
"Comrades!" But despite this, the dirty and messy situation was beyond remarkable. Li Mengyang, the current occupier in California, must speak out and boost morale!
In the municipal square of San Francisco, tens of thousands of people gathered here, just like when Li Mengyang was tried in public, and many Californians and revolutionary troops were coming. Of course, for safety reasons, strict arrangements were made in the entire square. All Californians are not allowed to bring guns, and they have even started to confiscate guns at their homes!
"After experiencing the war, we saw what the city has become today. Everyone said, is this place good?" Li Mengyang said, he had to say something.
this……
The question of the emperor Li Mengyang seems a bit strange. You brought everyone here with you, and most of it was destroyed by you. As a result, you asked this now? OK?
"To be honest, it's not good at all!" Li Mengyang was actually just asking questions, and it was just a big truth. Indeed, how could such a dark place be good?
However, Li Mengyang continued: "It's really not good! But let me tell you! This place is our new home! California is the original foundation of our American socialist democratic empire! Our territory is here!"
Is this our country?
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
You really don't want to say it. As long as it was Li Mengyang's words, the Revolutionary Army would be really happy, but Li Mengyang's words are not over yet.
"I know what everyone is thinking! That is, our place is like this, it's rotten to the end, so we might as well run the ball! But I want to say! It's because of this bad thing that we have to stay here, because this San Francisco was a good place in the past! What is a good place? Because this place has gold! This place has harbor! This place has land! There are all resources for our revolutionary development!"
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
"Comrades! Come with me. Let us build our country better! Just above such ruins!"
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
The revolutionary army's emotions were suddenly stirred up. Everyone was full of energy again!
However, this revolutionary army is easy to deal with, but you must know that Li Mengyang's team has captured California now, so there are many indigenous people here.
It should be said that in the previous blockade war, California lost a lot of population, but they all ran away with some ability. However, more people can't escape, so what should they do?
You have to appease them. Even if these people didn't escape, there were quite a few people. Conservatively, there were still more than 100,000 people in California. What if these people don't accept you, Li Mengyang, and they will directly rebel? Maybe.
So, in the face of this problem, Li Mengyang came up with a temporary solution.
"Citizens of California!" After Li Mengyang's speech, a blonde beauty wearing a blue tulip skirt and a white lapel shirt appeared. She was no one else, she was Fiona!
Although it was after Li Mengyang's speech, Li Mengyang did not step down, and Fiona's appearance was also very interesting. She stood directly beside Li Mengyang, and the hands of the two people were still tightly grasping each other.
This is...very meaningful!
I heard Fiona say, "Citizens of California! You don't need to be afraid, and you don't need to be afraid! Our Revolutionary Army is here to liberate you! That government, they say democracy and freedom, but have you really got it? Yes! His Majesty Clint Lee, who is by my side, is the emperor, but which of our people in the empire has not received democracy and freedom? Citizens of California! You can ask the Revolutionary Army soldiers around you, what did they do before?"
Fiona speaks clearly, and this principle is very helpful.
However, what she said was amazing and directly criticized the US government for being evil!
What did the revolutionary army soldiers do before? The workers at the bottom are bullied, but you see, they are now... can't they bully others? Oh no, they are turning over and becoming masters!
Fiona continued to say, "And everyone, please rest assured, Lee, his heart is full of great love, he has always advocated equality! No matter what kind of people, white, black, yellow, even blind, deaf, everyone is equal! He once issued the "Equality Declaration" in New York! And, look at me, I love him, he loves me too..."
Well, Fiona's role is here!
She is a white man, and the current situation is that California has been captured, and the one who captured her is a yellow man. Although there are many white people in this person's team, how is this guy treating white men? Of course, the people of California don't know!
The people of California are scared now!
Why are you afraid?
Because they bullied yellow people, especially Chinese workers, before!
Otherwise, how could Chinese workers riots? They could fight to the death so hard?
Now that a Chinese man becomes an emperor, will this emperor not take revenge? You know, those officials seem to have been beaten to death, punched to death!
So, the people of California are really scared, and this mentality is very normal.
Li Mengyang also knew that several other senior executives could see it, but now, we must first stabilize and not be confused anymore. Therefore, we thought of such a solution. It was just right that Fiona was following Li Mengyang.
Yes, where can Fiona go? This war is in chaos. Since Li Mengyang knows that she is coming, can he still keep her in the army?
You can't say it, it really works. Anyway, as a white girl like Fiona gave such a speech, the whites would feel a little relieved. In fact, judging from the current situation in California, whites still account for the absolute majority.
However, this fear may be solved, but now California is in such a ruined state, and it is extremely scarce of supplies and food shortage. In this situation, can Li Mengyang solve it? (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better and faster!
