Wild North America 1846

Chapter 262 Disagreement
The king's special train roared and galloped on the railway line, and the scenery outside the window kept receding. The mountains were endless, and there were countless lush forests and lakes of all sizes covered with a layer of white snow. It was a cold winter scene with high sky and wide clouds.

In the luxuriously decorated train compartment, the floor is covered with thick Persian carpets, and the smoke of ambergris wood rises from the quaintly shaped sacred animal gluttonous incense burner.

Lieutenant General Chen Chuan, Commander of the Royal Guards, stepped in and reported respectfully; "My lord, the train will enter Fenghuang Station in about 10 minutes. I hereby report."

"Um……"

Li Cha withdrew his gaze from the window, responded lightly, and said something for no reason; "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!"

"My minister ventures to speculate, is your Majesty referring to the recent American infiltration incident in the Omaha area?" Lieutenant General Chen Chuan asked cautiously.

"What do you think?" Li Cha didn't answer directly, but asked back, his eyes fell on Lieutenant General Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan was an immigrant who arrived in North America in late 1847. He was a laborer introduced from the Qing Dynasty by the original Peruvian guano mine. new life.

Chen Chuan, Minister of Economic Affairs Chen Cailiang, and Minister of Communications Huang Yuanjia were all Zhangzhou laborers. Because of their literacy, fairness and prestige, they quickly stood out from the immigrants.

These early immigrants were loyal, down-to-earth and hard-working, and many of them have become pillars of the kingdom and have been reused.

However, limited by their knowledge and experience, the upper limit of this group of people is not high, and their ability can only be said to be the best among ordinary people.But compared with Gu Yan and Liu Xianjun, the top talents who were once elected to be officials, they are indeed far behind.

Fortunately, he is loyal and hardworking, and he does not lose his shape when he does some assigned things, so it is very easy to use.

Li Cha didn't think about Yankee's little tricks, but just asked casually with the meaning of school examination.

Lieutenant General Chen Chuan has been with His Majesty all these years, and his knowledge and knowledge have grown a lot. This question must have been pondered over and over again in his heart, so the answer is quite smooth.

he replied;

"Return to His Majesty;

Judging from the enemy situation reported by the Army Staff Headquarters, the U.S. military has not made any major moves, and has not found signs of large-scale mobilization of troops and supplies. This situation can only be attributed to local hidden dangers and is not a cause for concern.

The humble minister secretly thought;
On the one hand, the defenders of border fortresses should be strictly ordered to strengthen their vigilance, strengthen their combat readiness, strictly prevent US infiltration and harassment actions, and attack and eliminate the capitalists hiding in the dark.On the other hand, it should negotiate severely with the US and resolve the dispute through diplomatic means.

I have some humble opinions, please correct me, Your Majesty. "

"Normally speaking, this kind of response plan is correct and quite satisfactory. No one can find anything wrong with it." Li Cha withdrew his gaze, with a slight trace of disappointment, and then ordered; "Notify the accompanying ministers and Order the guards in each compartment to prepare to get off."

"The minister obeys the order."

Lieutenant General Chen Chuan withdrew with a little uneasiness in his heart. He could feel that His Majesty was not satisfied with this answer, and he really couldn't figure it out.

The scenery outside the window receded one after another, and some dense building complexes gradually appeared along the railway line. The steam locomotive made a long whistle, piercing the sky and spreading it to the distance.

At this moment

The train has entered the suburbs of Fenghuang City. Vegetables and winter wheat are planted in the fields criss-crossed by ditches. There are also many farmers working in the fields with their cattle. It is a scene of a peaceful life in the years.

Li Cha looked out the window, but he was thinking about the chaotic scene in the American political arena today, as if he wanted to sort out a clue from it.

The assassination and death of the Republican presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln, all signs point to the radical slavery in the South, and finally the investigation can only be ignored.

This is because Abraham Lincoln, as a staunch liberal, participated in the Kansas Civil War and became one of the leaders of the Northern faction, and quit the Whig Party in early 1856, joined the newly formed Republican Party and became its presidential candidate.

Publicly and privately, there were plenty of people who hated Abraham Lincoln, enemies on the battlefield, political opponents and Southern slaveholders, at least hundreds of people who had the motive and the ability to kill him.

In the United States, where shootings are frequent, if you don't catch the perpetrator on the spot, you want to detect and catch the mastermind afterwards, which is basically like luck.

As a political loser, Abraham Lincoln had little reputation and little influence. The assassination case was quickly replaced by other social hotspots, and then gradually forgotten.

The most lively event in American politics today is undoubtedly the duet performed by the outgoing current President Franklin Pierce and the incoming 16th President James Buchanan, which almost revealed the split of opinions within the Democratic Party.

The two belong to the Democratic Party, but James Buchanan has repeatedly tore up the illusion of superficial peace in mass rallies, and bombarded Franklin Pierce with fierce words, calling him a "mediocre tinkerer" and nothing .

These words spread to the White House, and President Franklin Pierce was so angry that he not only broke his beloved Qing Dynasty vase, but also called James Buchanan a "despicable Irish farmer" in a rude tone.

The public scolding war between the incumbent and the incoming president has successfully attracted the attention of the American media. It is also a kind of explosive news that people love to hear and see. It even overwhelmed the news that members of Congress from the North and the South on Capitol Hill launched a full-scale fight. .

Richard is not so bored to eat melons. He has more and more reliable news channels than ordinary Americans, and he understands that the struggle between the two presidents is actually a power struggle.

When James Buchanan was not formally sworn in as the 16th president of the United States, he was impatient to dictate the current political and military policies of the United States, and he intended to bypass the current president to influence the military, showing an impatient look.

Of course, these small moves were resolutely countered by President Franklin Pierce. The current US Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff of the Continental Army submitted their resignations successively, and a newcomer took office.

Behind it is the pressure from the White House.

Think about it!
Why change the two helmsmen of the Continental Army when the current president has only two and a half months left in his term?

President Franklin Pierce's resolute counterattack was tantamount to slapping James Buchanan twice in the face, swearing his territorial awareness.

Boy, if you want to take the stage, you should wait two and a half months, I haven't retired yet!
