Chapter 222 Those things about the US election
The most rumored thing is that Lincoln is going to resign and replace Vice President Hamlin. Because there has not been a re-elected yet, the vice president has not been replaced. This rumor is very similar to the real one. As for who spread it, this...
In fact, isn't this what Hamlin tells him? How could he not be angry? He was the vice president now, but the Republicans betrayed him. They found a Democratic bastard to be the vice president. How could Hamlin swallow this?
The United States, the vice president is just a decoration. It has always been like this. Unless the president dies, what else do you think the vice president can do?
Later generations have been miserable, not to mention that the presidential power is not very great now.
But this is nothing, but the most interesting thing is that many people now say that this rumor was caused by Secretary of State Sward!
This is a criminal record. Didn’t this guy Sward just want to run for president before?
In addition, in the president's cabinet, Sward is a bully, and he is even better than President Lincoln!
There is no way. When Lincoln's team was elected as president, this is how Lincoln's team operated. In the cabinet, Sward had a very strong position, and Lincoln couldn't say anything.
So the Republicans were ready to deal with Sward because this guy was about to become a thug.
He was really forced to do so. Sward had been Secretary of State for four years. He was no longer the radical boy he used to be. He was really much older.
Sward responded to one move, which was to submit his resignation to Lincoln!
This move is amazing. The most criticized by Sward is that he is too strong. Now, people are showing off their appearance as if they are willing to give it to their wives. What else can you do?
Besides, does President Lincoln dare to accept Sward's resignation? He isn't he afraid that the Republican financial backers will turn against him?
Therefore, Lincoln played the political moves that were often played in the Qing Dynasty.
Stay at the right time and don’t send it!
Just like the Qing emperor dealing with some interesting memorials, Lincoln also left this resignation, and then he did one thing, bringing almost every senator to his cabinet members and letting them tell them what the Secretary of State is.
Can the cabinet members say something bad?
Everyone is from the same cabinet. If you scold Sward for being so bloody, then you will look good?
Therefore, the cabinet members naturally choose good words, and the most recent one is neutral words. Even the rumor supports this. Salmon Chase, the Minister of Finance, did not say anything bad about it...
Of course, the series of actions against Sward were all caused by Chase, the old salmon. Who else could it be if he wasn't?
Although this old guy Chase has a cheap son-in-law who became the emperor, of course, he has drawn a line with his daughter and doesn't recognize Fiona. He is now the Minister of Finance and is very beautiful in finance. He understands the law and is simply a gangster who knows martial arts and can't stop him!
The so-called finance, in fact, now, is the overall late stage of the entire civil war. When capitalist countries fight wars, they are just money. How high is Chase's status? Is it still worth mentioning?
Besides, the tricks his son-in-law told him back then were very useful as long as he changed them carefully and used them carefully. Chase was actually a beneficiary of His Majesty the Emperor, but he must draw a clear line with that emperor.
So, the Northern Federation was doing a good job, and Chase made great contributions. Now there are only two people who are standing in front of him, one is Sward and the other is President Lincoln.
If Chase wants to go further, he will naturally have to deal with Sward first, and the election will be about to be again. Whether Lincoln can be re-elected is a big deal.
It can be said that Chase is worthy of being the Secretary of the Treasury. This is a very good plan, but Lincoln is not bad either. His trick has made the Republican Party unite.
These are all undercurrents that happened before the election. On the surface, the situation in the American Federation is not very good. The civil war is full of water and no trance. Winning and defeating are simply inaccurate.
So, at this time, how to stabilize the election situation?
Sward's declaration of war, to be honest, the American Federation declared war on the American Empire early in the morning, and now it is just a second sentence.
But this is amazing to say again, and we must say it, because this is to tell the people whether we have enemies outside, and everyone must unite!
"General Grant, I hope your troops can allocate about 50,000 troops to quell the rebellion in Mexico..."
The Lincoln Group is not only a declaration of war, but they have other ways. This telegram is for Ulysses Grant, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front. He now has an army of 100,000, and he has won consecutive battles. Although the battle was not smooth under the city of Atlanta, it doesn't matter, it's not a loss.
Besides, Grant's location is closest to the west, so he can only send troops from him to El Paso and Mexico.
"Oh~" However, when Grant saw the telegram, he sighed a little.
The battle is stalemate now, but if he can work harder, he is still confident that he will defeat Johnston of Atlanta and take down this important southern town.
Grant was actually good at fighting protracted wars. In the previous Western Front Battle, he had chiseled the southern cities bit by bit.
But now, the president wants to divide half of his troops to Mexico, and he has to obey!
Grant is also a Republican. Although he is a drunken military man, of course this is the past, but he is also politically sensitive and he knows what the president wants.
Distract the attention of the country!
Yes, using foreign wars to calm domestic conflicts is a very normal, common way to do it, and it has a very good effect!
In other words, no matter what, Grant has to divide his troops. For the Republican Party, for the presidential election, and even for the United States, he has to divide his troops.
So Grant had no choice but to let his generals order 50,000 troops and drive westward!
There is no need to really start a fight. With this news and this attitude, the country is in danger. Sure enough, the Republican election situation is bullish!
Moreover, they also began to fight back frantically.
There are also several candidates for the Democratic Party this time, but one person broke through in the end. This person is nothing but McClellan!
Yes, it was the McClellan who was the former commanding the federal army to shrink and slowly and slowly did not want to attack!
McClellan hated Lincoln to the core. He had originally reorganized the Topomack Legion and allowed this newly defeated army to rise again, but you, Lincoln, have actually pulled yourself up because of your steady playing style!
How can McClellan not hate him?
It should be done, this guy has indeed made contributions. The situation in the north was indeed very bad at the beginning, but this later series of miserable defeats cannot be erased.
So, the Republican Party started from this aspect and seized McClellan's defeats and tried to make frequent moves!
Among them are: drawing comics and drawing many comics for McClellan. Needless to mention the image on it, it is simply a clown. Then there are crazy attacks from major newspapers, and even some neutral newspapers that do not let McClellan go. There is no way, this guy has too many dark history.
To be fair, McClellan's practices and performance at that time were pretty good. After all, in the early stages of the Civil War, the South had a great advantage in terms of personnel, and their economy did not collapse. The South had an advantage. It was already very good that he could do that. After all, no one really had the advantage when he was playing against Robert Lee?
But the voters will not look at this. Although they are not satisfied with Lincoln, it will not work if they choose a defeated general.
So, as soon as the election result came out, Lincoln was elected again!
A particularly strange government appeared in American history. The president is a Republican and the vice president is a Democrat. While other cabinet members have almost no changes, because everyone wants to maintain the original division of power. Lincoln's own power is still too small, and he is still only popular now.
However, as a result, the entire form of the American civil war also changed.
In Atlanta, the two sides could only confront each other and stayed in the trenches, and the situation of the battle first appeared in advance.
There is no way, Grant must divide his troops into 50,000. The previous stances made by the Lincoln administration must be realized to quell the chaos in Mexico. Otherwise, telling lies and cheating voters, how can you play in the future?
It is said that politicians of this day are still somewhat conscientious, such as those in later generations who treat voters as idiots and fool them casually, such as Treasure Island and Greece.
In the north, Robert Lee invaded again, but he immediately found that it would be difficult for him to achieve his intention to quickly end the civil war. It was very simple, and he also encountered the trenches!
When everyone was using trenches, everyone suddenly remembered, who made this thing?
So, some people quickly said that this was obviously the army in New York...
Clint Lee is a traitor! He is a bastard emperor! This guy's invention... is used first, and our United States of America will never give him any patent protection!
There is indeed no moral integrity. After the election, American newspapers began a new round of attacks on the emperors of the American Empire. They opened fire with all angles.
The current situation is that the emperor of the American Empire is in Mexico, and this guy obviously wants to annex Mexico. This is simply a greedy, greedy, and extremely shameful evil plan!
In fact, this is to find a very reasonable and just excuse for the United States to interfere in Mexico...
At this point, Mexico's situation has escalated again, and the United States has deployed troops on the Grand River. Of course, they also need time now. It is time-consuming and laborious to travel from Atlanta to Texas.
