【433】Golden cicada shelling

The "strong support" that Stanford refers to is naturally the support of gold dollars. With a large amount of dollar bills as a guarantee, Cleveland is confident that it will drive the Republican Party out of both houses of the next session!Perhaps, a Democratic government with [-]% of the MPs is not a myth!

Thinking of this, the haze in Cleveland's heart before the trip seemed to be swept away.

"I didn't expect Mr. Earl's support for our party to be so strong. As a representative, I didn't meet the Earl until today. I am so remiss and ashamed!"

Cleveland sighed for a while, and then asked: "The two princesses, can you really represent the Earl's opinions? I was inside just now, and I felt that Her Royal Highness Sissi didn't seem to have a good impression of me."

"You can't blame them! It's normal for a husband-in-law to look ugly after such a catastrophe! Glover, you have to be considerate..."

Leland Stanford comforted Cleveland, saying: "However, they respect every decision made by the Earl before the accident. For example, the enactment of the anti-discrimination bill was strongly advocated by the Earl. They hope that this matter will not be ruined because of the Earl's accident. Delayed."

Anti-discrimination Act?

Cleveland frowned slightly, but did not give a clear answer: "I will try my best, but you also know, Leland, that the enactment of the bill requires careful consideration and many meetings and negotiations, and it cannot be finalized overnight. "

It is undeniable that Cleveland's tour speeches during jmw have repeatedly supported the anti-discrimination bill, and also stated that the Democratic Party will commit to abolishing unfair bills that tend to exclude Chinese people. is another matter.

This is a politician who can steal a wife while reading the Ten Commandments of the Bible aloud.

The purpose of speeches is to gather popularity.Drive Harrison to step down. Now that Harrison has stepped down, the support of people in the west, especially people of color, will become less important.

The bill can be dragged on and on, as long as Cleveland doesn't veto it himself.What can the common people do with him?

Sure enough, he was caught by Master Long!

Leland Stanford smiled coldly in his heart, and looked embarrassed: "Ah? This is not easy to handle. A reconstruction fund with an initial installment of 300 million US dollars, the condition is to see which state abolishes the Chinese Exclusion Act first!"

"Reconstruction money? Are there any conditions?"

Cleveland was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly inquired.

Leland Stanford said in detail, it turns out that this reconstruction fund is called "reconstruction fund" in name, but in fact, it is a reward from the Beihai Bank to the coalition forces of the states that have contributed to the JMW.

The Earl of Beihai before the accident.He once said to the coalition forces in 11 cities: the war is over, the four western states (Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada), which state can take the lead in abolishing the Chinese Exclusion Act and put the enactment of the Anti-Racial Discrimination Act on the agenda, then he Privately funded, in the name of the bank, to sponsor the reconstruction of this state!

Although Xia Bo's department is mainly poisoned by California.But other states can say that their own states have also been attacked by fleeing troops, so.Reconstruction funds are applicable to all four states.

300 million US dollars is not a small amount, especially for the governments of the four western states. Anyway, the leaders of the next ruling party, the Democratic Party, have expressed their support for anti-racial discrimination, so the money is not worth it?

It depends on who is faster.

so now.The government personnel of the four states are working overtime, abolishing the bill with one hand, and drafting the bill with the other hand!

Damn!I didn't know such a big thing!

After Cleveland understood it, he was a little outraged: Although he borrowed the West to take the lead.But after becoming president, he will go to Washington, and the main people he will deal with in the future will still be the many chaebols entrenched on the east coast, abolishing the Chinese Exclusion Act and enacting the Anti-Racial Discrimination Act. This will make him offend many big shots!

"You also want to rebuild money?"

Cleveland suppressed his anger and stared at Leland Stanford.

"That's right, the money you picked up for nothing, why not? Beihai Bank was established based on the Azhou Gold Mine, and merged with many banks of the Rothschild family. It has strong financial resources and reliable credit. The 300 million US dollars is only the first installment. I don’t know how much money there will be in the future!”

Leland Stanford is old, but he is not afraid of Cleveland. He is happy to pretend to be stupid: because of jmw, he is now the acting governor of California!

When jmw's war dividends are counted and rewarded for meritorious service, the word 'generation' will be removed soon.

"Beihai Bank, why have I never heard of it?"

"It was established during the war, and it is now in the hands of the Earl of Beihai's fiancée, Princess Xianlu. The reconstruction of San Francisco and the resettlement of victims are also borrowed from there!"

As soon as he explained, the seasoned Cleveland understood: Although the Earl of Beihai was unconscious, his influence was not small. At least, regarding the anti-racial discrimination, the four western states were "kidnapped". There is no way.

After all, the governors of two of the four states are Republicans. First, they don't have to listen to his orders. Second, they also urgently need to earn favorability points, so as not to "die well" like Harrison.

"Okay, about the anti-racial issue, Leland, you can figure it out!"

Cleveland sighed, and said, "When I arrive in Washington, I will try my best to help you fight for it in Congress. As for whether it can be expanded into a national bill, I can only resign myself to fate."

"That's my favor, Glover."

Leland Stanford smiled slightly: Will you fight for it?I don't believe it!But that's okay, according to Young Master Long's confession, if he can get the four western states to pass the anti-racial discrimination bill, his goal will be achieved.

That's right, Long Hao didn't set his sights too high. By bombarding the crisis and jmw, being able to 'eat' the four western states is already a great victory.

As for the whole of the United States, before the collapse of the big chaebols such as Rockefeller and Morgan, Long Hao will not be full to touch the core of their interests: the east!

In the western United States, the Anti-Racial Discrimination Act can attract people of color, and it can also justifiably attract talents from Alaska and the motherland to settle down.With the "reconstruction fund" reward, Beihai Bank can openly enter the four states and bury the seeds of capital in the western United States. When it takes root and sprouts, it will be able to completely control the western United States. At that time.Unless it's a war, no one can erase Long Hao's influence.

Cleveland couldn't see Long Hao's "ambition", he put aside anti-discrimination and Beihai Bank, and began to ask about the most concerned matters during this trip.

Calling old Stevenson, the three of Cleveland sat in a secret conference room.

The bodyguard outside the door seemed to be.Load your guns with live ammunition, because the war has just ended, and no one can guarantee that there will be no more Xia Bo troops in San Francisco. Therefore, security work is the top priority now.

After exchanging pleasantries, Cleveland cut to the chase, knocked on the glass coffee table, and asked sternly, "You have been in San Francisco the longest, tell me. How did the Earl of North Sea defeat Benson's fleet on June [-]th?"

Old Stevenson and Leland looked at each other, then smiled wryly and lowered their heads.

After a long time, old Stevenson raised his head and said, "Your Excellency Cleveland, would you believe me if I said that we don't know exactly?"

Cleveland sneered.Shaking his head: "Of course I don't believe it! I hope you can be honest. Benson in the north has been clamoring. Don't you know? He said that our Democratic Party secretly funded the secret weapon for the Earl of Beihai, which made me very passive."

"I'll tell you!"

Leland Stanford blocked the old Stevenson who was still trying to defend himself, and said to Cleveland: "There is indeed such a weapon, but the Earl kept it very secret. On June [-]th, there was heavy fog on the sea. I don't know if this is the case. He chose it on purpose... But afterwards, I checked the earl's communication records and found several suspicious codes from Europe!"

"Europe?"

"Yes, I used some of my connections. Basically, the source of this code is an arms family in Europe, the Rothschild family!"

"Is this family related to Rothschild?"

"My knowledge is limited, but it is said that this family was split from the Rothschild family and specializes in arms and weapons. The technology they possess should be ahead of the arms and weapons circulating on the market... So, to create a weapon that can sink The mysterious battleship of the battleship is not uncommon."

"Are you sure? Leland, this is just your guess, not enough to convince me."

"Golover, don't be frightened by the mysterious battleship. According to my estimation, that kind of battleship is powerful, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as killing an iron-clad battleship with one blow. The reason why Benson was defeated was due to the weather, It is not unrelated to command coordination and carelessness to underestimate the enemy."

"Okay, I barely accept it, but Benson has always been a hidden danger in Seattle. He has been recruiting troops recently, and it seems that he is going to secede from the Federation and start anew! Do you have any suggestions for this?"

"Hehe, I can't say a suggestion, it's just a little idea, please share and share..."

Cleveland continued to discuss with Stanford and old Stevenson, but unexpectedly, in the waters 900 kilometers south of San Francisco, a shuttle egg-shaped ship was speeding under the sea.

"Master, isn't it too ruthless for you to get rid of the golden cicada's shell?"

Standing in front of the joystick, Xiao Yu asked while admiring the sea view from the 'glass window', "You've even kept the wives from hiding, so you're not afraid of backfiring, what kind of tragedy will this cause?"

"Tragedy? Oops, Xiao Yu, your mouth is getting more and more open, Xiao Ke, I ordered you to slap her ass, ten times, and one sound is not crisp, and the young master will come to slap you in person later, haha Haha..." Haha laughter came from behind Xiao Yu, and Long Hao, who was dressed in loose clothes, was lying on his back on the soft sofa, holding a wine glass in one hand and a big bright red lobster in the other, shouting greasyly.

No dizziness, this is the genuine Young Master Long. Since the real deity is in the sapphire dragon boat, the unconscious person on the hospital bed in San Francisco is naturally Xibei.

Why do you want to cheat, why do you have to hide even your confidante such as Melissa, Ai Shili, Yuan'er?

There are so many reasons for this, and I can't finish it in one and a half hours.

But the main reason is that in the next year, Long Hao will focus on consolidating his realm as an alchemist. In this way, indulging in gentleness will not be conducive to his "cultivation".

Long Hao's practice, to put it bluntly, is to create as much energy as possible, and then spend it all!

Such a large-scale skill is obviously not suitable for displaying on land, so the vast and endless ocean has become the most suitable place to display it. This is also the deepest intention of Long Hao in tinkering with the sapphire dragon boat.

'Papapa', a crisp sound, and a wave of round buttocks, making Long Hao squint his eyes, and the lobster also chewed and swallowed, in the deep sea.There are delicious food, beauties, and beautiful scenery. The three beauties gather together, and life is so happy.

After the "punishment" was done, Xiao Ke and Xiao Yu's pretty faces were flushed, one was shy, and the other was probably high.

"Young master is good or bad!"

Drizzle groaned.Handing the joystick to Xiao Ke, he stomped his feet and said, "If the young master doesn't tell you why you cheated, I won't sail the boat for you."

"Okay, don't make trouble, go, stew the two big turtles in the kitchen, and while we are eating bastard soup, I will tell you, master..."

"The young master is uneducated. Turtles and turtles are not the same thing!"

The sapphire dragon boat has obviously undergone some transformation, and it is no longer the "poor and white" when it first went to Seattle.

The control room has leisure facilities such as sofas, and the power room has also been planned as a kitchen, specially concocting those unlucky eggs caught in the deep sea.

After returning from Seattle, Long Hao did encounter some things, but even Xiao Yu and Xiao Ke were concealed from them.

Then.It was Long Hao who made a high-profile appearance and commanded the troops.There was a five-day fierce battle with the Xia Bo Department who had ambushed the traitor.

The five-day battle was not difficult, and Long Hao had a chance to show his face in his team, and this kind of military exploits, even if he was the supreme leader, was indispensable.

after all.His age is disadvantageous, plus he has to disappear for a year, if he doesn't shine again, he will be forgotten by his subordinates.

Needless to say, Long Hao's miraculous achievements in the ocean, now he has military achievements on land.His position will definitely be much more stable.

As usual, Long Hao might disdain this, but what happened to him when he left Seattle more or less affected his state of mind after all.

Things come from Alaska, Huaxia Town.

Since the blockade of San Francisco by the Benson fleet, there seems to be no movement in Huaxia Town. Long Hao doesn't say anything on the surface, but he still has some murmurs in his heart.

You see, Melissa has traveled thousands of miles from the UK to San Francisco, and Alaska is much closer, but why hasn't she done anything?

Even if it is sensitive to send troops, it is not troublesome to shout a few words in the newspaper in solidarity with yourself, the 'major shareholder'?

Could it be that something happened?

Long Hao attaches great importance to Alaska, the "land of fortune". There are not only rich mineral deposits there, but also tens of thousands of people who support him. Moreover, the geographical location there is also very important and cannot be missed.

Otherwise, the Arctic Circle, the Americas, the Far East, and the Pacific Ocean, these areas that Long Hao has planned for a long time, will lose their connection points!

Fortunately, Long Hao was still very assured of the loyalty of Uncle Long and the others. In addition, San Francisco had no means to separate himself, so although he muttered, he was not impulsive enough to go back to Alaska to find out.

At the time of parting from Prince Aza, Sheng Yan finally delivered a telegram that had just left the station to Long Hao.

Telegraph, from Anchorage, Alaska.

The telegram was very long, and it was from Uncle Long's tone. Huaxia Town has indeed encountered a little... a little trouble!

Although the troubles are small, there are many kinds. Long Hao looked at them, and the boy frowned.

First of all, Long Bo expressed his concern for Long Hao's distress. He wanted to send people to help, but the south of Alaska was impassable.

There are two reasons, first, lack of manpower, and second, someone blocked.

Yes, you read that right, while San Francisco was blocked, many ports in the south of Alaska were also blocked.

What was blocked was not a warship, but Rockefeller's exploration oil ship!

Rockefeller finally made an official move on Long Hao, and the first move was a big deal. Just after Chen Bahu's fleet left, ten [-]-ton heavy exploration oil ships were stuck in Anchorage Harbor!

In addition, there is also a fleet of hired warships from the Netherlands, in the name of protecting the Rockefeller family's oil exploration ships, cruising in the Alaska peninsula, firmly strangling the throat of the ships going south.

To go through can, a small-scale battle is inevitable.

Someone may ask, why did Rockefeller blockade the port of Anchorage?

Governor Dodge Burleigh won't protest, won't he evict?

It's a pity that Rockefeller's ten oil exploration ships have a legitimate reason to stay in the Gulf of Alaska. For no other reason, John Rockefeller actually bought ten years of oil exploration rights in this sea area from the Federation!

From a legal point of view, let alone ten oil exploration ships, as long as Rockefeller is willing to spend money, it is also possible for large and small oil exploration ships to fill the Gulf of Alaska.

Seeing this, Long Hao couldn't help applauding Rockefeller's loophole while scolding him for being shameless.

This is the [-]th century, and the oil on land is still "budding and ready to be harvested", so you Rockefeller have the leisure to exploit offshore oil?

Not to mention whether there is such technology, even if there is, the cost of producing oil compared with the selling price is enough for you, Rockefeller, to lose money to grandma's house!

The so-called oil exploration rights in the Gulf of Alaska are even cheaper, and only received 2000 US dollars in ten years.

Because, before John Rockefeller applied, the federation didn't have this 'offshore oil exploration right' at all, that is, Rockefeller wanted it, and those officials only temporarily filed it.

Ten oil exploration ships that can be transformed into heavy gunboats at any time, plus the Dutch mercenary fleet, it is obvious that Rockefeller deliberately came to threaten Alaska.

Because of Pulitzer and others' "rebellion", the Rockefeller family has not obtained enough income from Alaska for more than half a year, and they have doubts in their hearts. Coupled with the growing scruples about Long Hao, the combination of the two, John Rockefeller Only then decided to attack Alaska.

John's move is also telling Long Hao: Dongfang boy, don't underestimate our big families. If you are determined to move you, even in a place as far away as Alaska, we have plenty of tricks! (To be continued..)
