William?? Hesse's eyes widened, and he asked his mercenary boss aloud, "What's wrong with my pastime book?" ”

"Where did you get that book from?" Mercenary boss doesn't care about William?? Hesse asked, dissatisfied. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"What happened to that book? Isn't it just a yellow book? "William?? Hesse didn't want to answer the question, what's wrong with everyone reading a few yellow books?

"Just tell me who you bought it from." The mercenary's boss continued to ask.

William?? Hesse was upset and could only say, "There are always people selling books before the docks leave the port, you know. ”

The boss asked, "How many copies did you buy?" ”

William?? Hesse sighed, "A set of twelve." ”

"Show me it." Mercenary boss to William?? Hesse hooked his fingers.

"I haven't finished reading it yet!" William?? Hesse said angrily.

"Don't worry, I'll pay you back." The boss has a sense of wanting to chase to the end.

Not only the Germans were searching, but the French were also searching. The U.S. side used 'Chinese conspiracy propaganda' when they told them, so the German and French sides were quite serious. So the leaders on both sides searched the crew and found that it was a set of twelve books called the 'Black Lace Series'.

Years later, the European account of this event was like this...... Even those officials who do feel that they are under attack by Chinese ideology are watching the 'Black Lace Series' with relish. Not to mention the people who bought the book and the officials who didn't......"

There are many people who try to restore the origin of this set of books, and it is generally believed that with the rise of China's urbanization, in the face of a large number of young people entering the city, there are some "low-level taste" authors. The Chinese Emperor Wei Ze ordered a purge of these people, and tried to replace the low-grade works with works of 'workers, peasants and soldiers'.

During the Sino-American war, some Chinese officials discovered the role of these 'low-level' writers and organized them to write collectively. The Chinese did not expect to promote the black history of Europe and the United States through serious mosquitoes, and these writers used eroticism and superstition as a gimmick to describe the slave trade, colonial expansion, and killing of Indians by the United States and Britain. This set of twelve copies of the 'Black Lace Series' appeared.

For example, the author of "Slave Breeding Farm" describes the owner of the slave breeding farm because his wife and a black stallion got involved, and then he killed his wife in anger and sent his wife's head to the offering plate in the church, which is called "the master of the snow sect of the righteous way of killing his wife". For example, the author of "The Ship of the Angry Sea" depicts a brave and determined captain of a slave ship whose pleasure, in addition to sleeping with white girls, is to mess with black slaves and various trained creatures. Although the taste is heavy, it creates a heavy taste stream with a murderous description, and is nicknamed 'Shou Jiaofeng'.

Regardless, this set of twelve erotic novels in four different languages suddenly became popular at a time when Europe decided to bail out the United States. The American side got a gift from the crew by chance, and as a result, they keenly discovered the problem.

President Garfield was furious, and when he heard the inquiry, he immediately said angrily: "Shameless! These Chinese are so shameless! "President Garfield was a Puritans, although he had previously been used to being beaten and humiliated by his 'intermittent psychotic' adoptive mother. But since he became president, his adoptive mother's 'intermittent psychosis' has never had any more episodes. So President Garfield is becoming less and less tolerant of provocations. In the eyes of his Puritans, the Chinese approach was outright shameless.

"We also write books to fight back against the Chinese?" The Secretary of State went on as the President intended.

"Do we have the talent for this?" President Garfield asked.

The secretary of state is a little speechless, and there is no shortage of women as secretary of state. Since there is no shortage of women, there will be no idea of reading books to obtain satisfaction. So the Secretary of State really doesn't know where to find such a candidate. Unable to find a candidate, the Secretary of State angrily said, "We'd better take these volunteers right away and send them to fight in the Great Plains." ”

Although this line of thinking is jumping fast, President Garfield's line of thought can keep up. He just asked with some confusion, "Why did you send it to the Great Plains region?" ”

"We don't know how effective they are in the mountains, and it's easier for us to know what area they're in in the plains." The Secretary of State replied.

President Garfield's mind immediately conjured up the word 'death'. At this time, however, Secretary of War Lincoln Jr. said: "I also support sending them to the Great Plains, where the federal government is not good at recruiting troops, and the first cowboys are on the battlefield and are exhausted." Although the second group of cowboys was still shouting that they were willing to fight, the recruiter there said that it was difficult to recruit soldiers. Rather than forcing the people of the Great Plains to force themselves out to fight, it is better for the federal government to send personnel there as the backbone to organize local counter-attacks against the Chinese invasion. ”

"Could it be that the Great Plains region is undermanned to such an extent?" President Garfield was amazed by this information. The Great Plains is one of the major physical geographical regions of North America, also known as the "Great Desert of the Americas". It stretches from the Mackenzie River Delta in the north, the Rio Grande on the U.S.-Mexico border in the south, the Low Laurentian Plateau and the Inland Low Plains in the east, and the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains in the west. It is 4800 kilometers long from north to south and 480~1120 kilometers wide from east to west. It covers an area of about 2.9 million square kilometers. There is no way to fight on the terrain on such a vast plain, and many areas of the Great Plains have very little average rainfall, which makes these areas very small in population.

"We have information that a Chinese force is moving south along the Great Plains. The states of the Great Plains region looked like they couldn't beat it, and many chose to go south with their cattle. The number of people who remained there to continue the fight was small. Secretary Lincoln Jr. replied, adding a sentence after all the serious news. We still haven't been able to get in touch with those who stayed. ”

In such an era, if you can't get in touch, you can basically think of it as hanging. President Garfield, who was also a war hero before, did not expect that the federal army that could sweep through the south and sweep thousands of miles was beaten so badly by the Chinese. The characteristics of the Great Plains region are that as long as the troops are sufficient and the logistics are sufficient, the troops can fight all the way from the northern part of the United States to the southern part of the United States, and there is no need to stop at all. Recalling the violence of the northern army in those years, the president suddenly burst out with arrogance and couldn't help asking: "Aren't we capable of organizing an army to fight the Chinese army on the Great Plains?" ”

"Your Excellency, in the current situation, we can't do it." Secretary of War Lincoln Jr. ruthlessly gave the answer, "Based on our previous experience, the Chinese were able to march more than 50 kilometers a day for at least three consecutive days. Our troops will not be able to do that. If the more than one million troops were still there, I would probably still be able to consider completing such a campaign move. But the current army can only carry out operations of such a scale with small forces. And it is simply useless to meet the Chinese on such a scale. Even Major General Pershing, in the face of the attack of the Chinese, could not immediately counterattack. He chose to rush into Pittsburgh to avoid a field battle with the Chinese. ”

These words poured cold water on President Garfield. A million troops is actually a lot of people, and for the United States it is a very, very large army. However, this million troops were wiped out in the dust, with all sorts of news of defeat, or no news at all. The million army vanished like drops of water in the scorching sun. President Garfield can certainly condemn the brutality of the Chinese, but let him feel more about the power of China.

"Let's let the Germans and the French go to the Great Plains to fight China. At least through their battles, it is hoped that the characteristics of the Chinese will be found. Secretary Lincoln Jr. replied.

Without waiting for President Garfield to express his attitude, Secretary Lincoln Jr. added. "Your Excellency, please also consult privately with the members of the Senate......

The president of the United States claims to be the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, but the real battle is never in charge of the president, and the president only has to make decisions about the war. When President Garfield walked into the Senate, the members of the House were notified to come to the meeting. The name of the U.S. Senate is in the same vein as the Roman Latin Senate, which follows the model of the U.S. Senate, with two senators in a state, regardless of the size of the state. The United States in more than forty states has more than eighty senators. The Senate decides on bills and is at the heart of the American ruling class.

But now that the three northern states have been annexed to China, more than a dozen more states have been beaten to the point where they cannot compete with the federal government. There are more than 30 high-ranking patriarchs who can no longer represent the people. It can only be a symbol of the United States that is still whole, so these people are sad. When these guys saw the president walk into the Senate with a sad face, their hearts were no longer so intensely uncomfortable because they felt something.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this meeting is a secret meeting, so there is no record, only a simple vote." President Garfield spoke to the senators first.

The patriarchs looked at each other one by one, not knowing what to say. Then they heard President Garfield continue: "I want to ask you, if, if the Chinese enter Huashengton, do we have to evacuate?" If the elders do not think it is necessary to die on the front line, we will command the war with the temporary capital. ”

No one spoke for a while, and the news that the Chinese had called Pittsburgh had arrived in Huashengton, causing great uneasiness and shock on the streets of Huashengton. There are already people whose homes are in the South who have chosen to flee to the South. Not long ago, in response to the lack of soldiers, the Senate passed a decree on 'compulsory conscription'. The decree was not directed at the landlords, but at foreign immigrants in the eastern metropolises of the United States. Because of its initial inexperience, the Senate did not have time to completely block the newspapers. So much so that the news of the defeat of the US federal army was constantly publicized by the newspapers to the situation in the city.

Many city dwellers are immigrants who choose to leave the United States in a panic. As a country of immigrants, old immigrants in the United States will always discriminate against new immigrants. When the streets become clean, there are still some old immigrants who feel refreshed. However, when the war was in full swing and the Americans found that more soldiers had to be sent to the battlefield, the Senate, which represents the will of the people, did not hesitate to order a 'forced conscription' and did not allow any American citizens and immigrants to leave the United States without permission. In addition to immediate imprisonment, those who violate the order are punished by confiscation of family property and forced labor in a forced labor camp.

Even so, the Senate found that with the manpower of the Northeast of the United States, their limit was to 'recruit' three million soldiers. Of these three million soldiers, 600,000 have been lost. The remaining 2.4 million soldiers are either untrained or unequipped, or both untrained and unequipped. Sending these people to the battlefield is probably a dead end.

Now the president has publicly stated that he will choose to move the capital, which makes the elders not know what to say. Everyone looked for a moment of death, and their eyes fell on the faces of the legislators of the southern states.

At this time, it was only more than 20 years after the end of the Civil War, and these Southern congressmen had all participated in the Civil War and had a deep memory of the Civil War. For a moment, they didn't even know if they should be sincerely happy when their country was in danger. After all, after these northern miscellaneous people destroyed the south, they are now shy and hope to be blessed by the south.

The two Virginia legislators looked at each other and then broke the silence, "We think Richmond is good. ”

This statement made the faces of the members of parliament brighten, Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War, and the Warzenton government fled to Richmond, which was obviously a kind of irony.

President Garfield, the war hero of the Civil War, was immediately unsightly, although this suggestion actually made sense and was quite in line with the needs of the war. However, the tone and expression of the two veteran congressmen in Virginia are really 'Uncle can bear it, Aunt is unbearable'.

Not only President Garfield, but also those Northern lawmakers who had fought in the Civil War were very unhappy. Immediately, some people denied it on the grounds that "it is too close to Huashengton".

"If it's a long distance and it's safer, I think we have a good Atlanta." The representative of Georgia immediately took a stand.

President Garfield's face became even more ugly as soon as the name of the city, Atlanta, Georgia, was the focus of the U.S. Northern Army. In the past, Atlanta was also considered to have developed rapidly with the railroad, but after being looted and set on fire by the Northern army, in addition to heavy casualties, the entire city was burned. I haven't been able to recover until now. This kind of place, even if it is far from the front line, is by no means a place that makes people feel good.

This time, the congressmen from the North were silent for the time being, not only Richmond and Atlanta, but also the capitals of the Confederate states that had been ravaged by the North. Under the leadership of General Sherman, the butcher, all the capital of the Confederacy was looted and burned, and all towns, villages, and farms within the attack area of the Confederacy's troops were looted and burned. The southern states were once rich in the United States, but after the end of the Civil War, they were inexplicably poor. This must be thanks to General Hillman's three-light policy of 'killing, burning, and robbing'.

The southern legislators also fell silent after venting their anger with a little quick tongue. In fact, they would like to take the opportunity to declare independence and reorganize the Confederacy. But to them, the Chinese may not be as odious as the American Yankees, but they are even less credible than the American Yankees. The mere fact that the two sides are so different in appearance makes the leading figures of the southern states very uneasy.

President Garfield was not a weak man, and seeing that the situation was not optimistic, it inspired him to fight. "Ladies and gentlemen, you don't seem to be opposed to the proposal to move the capital when necessary, do you?"

The northern legislators and the southern legislators looked at each other, and everyone felt that the proposal was completely inappropriate, but they found it even more inappropriate to oppose it.

President Garfield continued: "Then let's vote, where is it appropriate to move the capital?" ”

Since President Garfield had already said in advance that this was a secret vote, the content was all secret, and everyone just raised their hands to vote. Then the state capitals of the United States, which are relatively safe, have been taken out for everyone to vote again and again. President Garfield found that the representatives of the southern states of the United States raised their hands in agreement regardless of the city they encountered, with an expression of indifference to the errand.

The state legislators who have not yet fallen into the hands of the Chinese have shown considerable caution. But the legislators of the lost states have a clear stance in the vote. Although they only voted and did not speak, President Garfield could see that the legislators from the lost states had shown a strong sense of responsibility, and they voted at least after reflection.

The final option is a down payment in South Carolina Columbia. If Wasmond fell, Richmond would be too close to Wastung and could easily be hit by a chain reaction. The second-place option turned out to be Atlanta, and the reason why Atlanta was not chosen was because the city was far from recovering.

Immediately after the vote, President Garfield left the Senate. The atmosphere in the Senate made him extremely unhappy, and the excessive clouds were not only not dispelled, but because the war weakened the power of the federal government, and the ghost of past hatred was greatly revealed. The United States, torn apart by the Civil War, is far from being reunited.

President Garfield had forgotten about the Chinese Little Yellow Book at this time, and although that incident made President Garfield very angry, he just thought it was a Chinese trick. The secretary of state's anger was also only because he felt that the American massacre of Indians was accused by the Chinese of being an evil atrocity.

But the mercenary William?? Hesse didn't think so. In William Hesse's opinion, although the set of twelve small books was worthless, and he read them, the books were not returned after they were confiscated. This is injustice. When he went to a hotel to drink and have fun, a young man came up next to him, and he whispered in German: "This big brother, are you here by boat?" ”

William?? Hesse almost wanted to scold: I didn't come by boat, did I come by swimming?

However, the man who spoke didn't mean to talk nonsense, he didn't wait for William?? Hesse replied, and continued in a low voice, "This big brother, I want to take your ship back to Germany, can you give me an offer?" ”

As soon as I heard that there was money to be made, I also needed to stay in the United States with the mercenary team. William?? Hesse was immediately interested in a way to make extra money. Ordered a glass of wine for the young man, William?? Hesse said, "You, tell me more. ”
