The state flag of California, or the flag of the Republic of California, is still flying over the San Francisco Plaza.

Only the flags were lowered a bit to show their respect for the victims in Los Angeles.

Californians now identify more with their state flag than the flag of the United States of America.

When the Eastern Consortium first arrived in California, they relied on Congress and the government to support them in an attempt to seize their land and gold.

As the saying goes, destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents, and now a tragedy like the Los Angeles massacre has occurred. The last trace of trust that Californians had in Washington and Congress has disappeared.

"We love peace, but we are never afraid of war."

In the State Assembly, Liang Yao, as the president of the State Senate, took the lead in speaking.

"If they regard our love of peace as weakness, they are wrong. Those thugs must be responsible for the tragedy that happened in Los Angeles and pay the due price for those who died.

California belongs to Californians. If Congress and the government remain unrepentant and continue to trample on the rights of Californians and the dignity of Californians, we will choose to go to war and fight the tyrannical government until the last Californian falls.

.”

Power and wealth are never obtained through charity, but earned by oneself.

Congress and the administration would agree to give Texas $10 million in compensation for ceding land in northwest Texas not because they felt they were owed the state of Texas.

But the Texans had a tough attitude and did not hesitate to send troops to New Mexico to protest to Congress and the federal government.

If Texans are all cowards and don’t dare to give a damn, let alone $10 million, I’m afraid Texas won’t even get $1,000 in compensation.

Texans are not pushovers, and Californians are not pushovers to be manipulated by Congress and the federal government.

Although California does not even have its own industry now, and its self-produced weapons are relatively backward, this is not a reason to avoid war.

If we choose to back down this time, Congress and the federal government will dare to make even more extreme demands on California next time.

Historically, California had a gold rush in 1848, but after statehood, the lives of Californians were not as good as before.

Isn’t the reason why the Eastern plutocrats regard California as their back garden?

The eastern plutocrats only care about the gold in California. They don't care about the development of California at all, let alone whether the people of California live in water and fire.

It was not until the outbreak of the Civil War that the Union was busy with the civil war and had no time to look elsewhere. Only then did California slowly get back the rights and gold that originally belonged to California, and slowly enter the normal development track.

"Start the war!"

"Start the war!"

"Start the war!"

After Liang Yao finished his speech, a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami sounded in the parliament.

State legislators raised their arms and shouted, begging for war.

“Californians are no wimps!”

"Severely punish the thugs! Fight to the end against the tyrannical federal government!"

"Long live the Republic of California!"

Not surprisingly, the state Senate voted unanimously to declare war on the federal government.

Liang Yao was amazed that these state legislators were braver than him.

But when I thought about it, these people's original intention was not to go to war with the federal government. In fact, they wanted to protect their own property.

After the Los Angeles massacre, they also worried about their personal safety.

Those thugs dared to kill in Los Angeles, which was not rich and had no gold. What would they do if they went to San Francisco and Sacramento, which were rich?

It makes my hair stand on end just thinking about it.

Liang Yao had just wiped out Brandon more than two months ago. The gangsters were from the military and were a greater threat to the gold diggers in California than any other gangster.

Californians have not forgotten the harm Brandon caused them.

Liang Yao's purpose was only to defend San Francisco and Sacramento, and did not intend to go out of state to fight. As long as these people were determined to fight, it was enough for him.

He believed that as long as they fought within the state, these people and their private armed forces could be used by them.

Californians are now fighting not just for California, but for themselves.

"Half of Colonel Mason's regiment has already sailed north from Los Angeles. They will arrive in San Francisco in two days."

Liang Yao had just walked out of the parliament hall. Elvis, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, hurriedly reported the latest situation to Liang Yao.
