On May 15, 1869, Li Mengyang, the emperor of the American Empire, was still in Philadelphia. There was no way, and there were still many things to be arranged here, such as the Lincoln cabinet member's handling of problems, such as the handling of his cheap father-in-law...

There is no way, you have to arrange some personal problems. Many surrendered officials... These are all cabinet members, so of course they have to make arrangements, such as Minister of War Cameron, you are a war criminal, go to prison!

And Attorney General Best, forget it, you guy is not that bad yet. The key is that Li Mengyang has no excuses, so just do it. Attorney General, you must not do it anymore. Just dismiss the post and go home and farm.

It’s better to use your talents. Of course, the reason why these two guys are arranged like this is mainly because they are old and really don’t have much value in use, but some people are still pretty good.

For example, Lincoln's secretary Nicholas, this guy is very loyal. When Lincoln died, he cried so hard, so it's better to stay in the government department and do anything like that.

As for your cheap father-in-law...you wait first.

To be honest, Li Mengyang really didn't expect Lincoln to die like this from beginning to end, really!

In the original history, Lincoln was assassinated by a guy named John Wilkes Booth after the end of the American Civil War. After the guy killed someone, he shouted, "This is the end of the tyrant."

But, Booth... there is also a man in our revolutionary army's ranks, and the official is quite good.

By the way, Colonel Booth, Li Mengyang thought that this surname was quite impressive when he first knew about this person. After chatting a few times, he heard that Booth had a distant relative named John Wilkes... Their family used to be from Maryland, and later went to New York to make a trip!

Is this more important? It’s definitely him!

So, Li Mengyang told Booth at that time, "Please bring your relative to our empire and let him perform for the masses in our empire... What does this mean? Only Li Mengyang himself knows it.

As a time traveler, Li Mengyang must do this because it is very simple. Only in this way can history develop. The history that is close to the original appearance in his mind... Not to mention, Li Mengyang is not particularly familiar with this history of the United States. If Marx had not commented heavily on the American Civil War, he would probably know even less.

Don’t let something happen to Lincoln. At least Li Mengyang understands Lincoln, so that he can control what is going to happen more easily. Although there are already many things that are beyond his control, we have to work hard to do this direction, right?

So, Lincoln's death really made Li Mengyang a headache. Philadelphia should have been liberated peacefully, but in the end something went wrong. This is really... But now, there is another thing that makes Li Mengyang depressed...

"Your Majesty! Earl Clarendon, the British Foreign Minister, asked for a visit!"

“Huh?”

Earl of Clarendon?

Li Mengyang naturally knew what this count was doing. He is the current British Foreign Minister, so why is he here? What is this guy doing?

Li Mengyang made a pretty good choice at that time, and that's what he said.

"Just let Liszt go and see him. From this point of view, the level is just right."

Li Mengyang didn't see Clarendon, and the excuse was very good, that was the same as the relationship. The most important thing was that Li Mengyang felt that he might have something to do with him.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Liszt came to report.

"Your Majesty! That Earl Clarendon is here to talk to us about not continuing to attack the United States." Liszt was really sweating when he said this.

Not attacking the United States?

This battle has reached this point. Do you stop at the right time?

Or it should be said that although the empire has a strong military strength, there are only a few people. If the United States cannot be completely defeated quickly, then it will definitely fail!

Liszt's idea was actually said a long time ago. Otherwise, why did he let his generals lead 10,000 people out to capture them everywhere? It's just for the sake of being fast!

Why must it be fast?

Actually, a very simple thing is that Li Mengyang knows the example.

This example is not very good. For us Chinese, it is a history of blood and tears. Yes! It was the later Japanese invasion of China!

Regarding the history of Japan's invasion of us, we Chinese naturally have nothing to say. It is definitely a war to defeat evil!

However, if we analyze this war carefully, it will not be difficult to find out why the Japanese lost.

Simply put, Japan will definitely lose. This is an inevitable result, but what about the truth?

Japan's comprehensive invasion of China was the Lugou Bridge Incident. In fact, this matter was also abrupt for Japan. I won't talk about the specifics. Even the top leaders of Japan also argued whether this matter should be expanded or not, that is, a comprehensive war with China was to arise.

Later, a Lu Xiang named Sugiyama Tsuki said, "It will be solved in three months at most."

Yes, it is the arrogant remarks that destroyed China in these three months!

Of course, there is no need to mention the result, but what is revealed here?

That is, in fact, Japan hopes to solve the problem within three months, and he doesn’t want to delay it anymore!

To put it simply, that is, once the time is prolonged, as long as China does not admit defeat, Japan will lose. The Japanese thought it was good, and they would fight quickly, but once they could not fight quickly, Japan would lose.

How many people are there in Japan? There are only more resources?

Even though Japan's industrial strength was much stronger than China at that time, and its steel output was several times, it was all kinds of things, but in the end, the Japanese still lost!

Now, in Li Mengyang's situation, the American Empire is different from the Japanese... Oh, it's still different. We are not like them, we are not beasts!

In short, in terms of strategy, it is really similar, and the empire now has several different aspects. On the one hand, it is because of its strict military discipline. On the other hand, it is because of the American Civil War, and on the other hand, Lincoln has surrendered.

Although Lincoln resigned from the position of president, he surrendered, so he could take advantage of this matter.

However, if it is not possible to use it alone, the current situation is forcing Li Mengyang to control the chariot of the American Empire and keep moving forward! Go forward! Go forward!

He really couldn't stop, and he had to speed up...

So now Count Clarendon, the British Foreign Minister, said, "Let's Earl Clarendon, please don't continue to attack." So will we listen?"

"Hahaha..." Li Mengyang laughed after hearing the news delivered by Liszt.

"Your Majesty! I'll tell that old idiot now! Let him get out of here!" Liszt has been with Li Mengyang for so long, what if he doesn't understand?

"Wait." Li Mengyang stopped Liszt, "We can't be so rude, do you understand?"

"Ah?" Liszt understood what? Shouldn't he be so tough?

"Do you remember what I said in the Capitol when I was in Washington?" Li Mengyang left a sentence.

"Oh..." Liszt thought for a while, and finally understood...

"His Count Clarendon! His Majesty the Emperor has inherited the spirit of founding the United States of America, and naturally includes the precious wealth left by the ancestors, and naturally includes the statement of President Monroe..."

"Monro?"

Earl Clarendon immediately understood that simply put it, the imperial emperor did not give him the face of the British Foreign Minister. And this excuse was the damn "Monroeism"!

"Hmph!" Earl Clarendon was so angry, but he couldn't do much now, so he would rather go back to England first.

Li Mengyang did not see Count Clarendon, but he conveyed a very important message to Britain, that is, British people, just be honest and don’t worry about things in the United States!

The key is that this information is very skillful, not only conveying information, but also allowing Emperor Li Mengyang to inherit the spiritual inheritance of the United States!

Don’t underestimate this thing, because in fact, the ‘country’ thing is in Europe and the United States. It is a relatively abstract concept, and the national consciousness that emerged was very late. Later sociologists even defined the modern state as a ‘community imagined by all the people’!

Therefore, spiritual aspects are also very important. The current theory has not yet been released, but it does not prevent the guy Li Mengyang from using it.

But, is it really good to just slap the British in the face like this?

Soon, as June entered, Sward in New York became better, because many British ships came to New York Harbor!

At this time, the ships on the sea were very large. This was not the length, but the number of decks!

The ironclad ships have not been fully developed and utilized, so the previous generation of warships was still the main force at this time. These warships all have the same characteristics, that is, in order to install more guns, they have to repair more decks and four-layer decks, which is basically the limit. This time, there are several British warships with three layers, and more of them are second layers.

Then this combat power is still very strong. There are 20 ships, basically all the warships that can come near the Pacific Ocean. Although 20 ships are nothing to superpowers like the United Kingdom, it is really a sign of its strength that can come so many in such a short time.

Sward had some idea in his heart, and he felt that New York should be able to hold on!

New York is composed of several islands. Now, judging from the power of the sea, there are British helps, and the United States' navy has the last power. Although Dalgren surrendered, there are still warships.

Constitutional number!

This is the largest warship in the United States, this warship... two decks, okay, I won't compete with the British.

But, can I really hold on? (To be continued.)
