Chapter 425: Head Like Rain (6)
"China uses Chinese to pretend to be Indians!"
"North America is actually going to form an Indian state!"
"Shameless! The Chinese take advantage of the Indians! ”
"It was the mistake of the Americans not to exterminate the Indians!"
"China created the Indian state!"
"China wants to annex North America!"
……
Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, all of which owe a great deal of blood debt to the Indians, are the countries that reacted the most. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info even other European countries that did not owe much to the Indians were feeling the pressure. This pressure is evident not only in the incoherent pattern of the newspapers, but also in the unanimous refusal of the European countries to meet with the representatives of the 'Indians'.
The U.S. ambassador to the European countries sent telegrams back to the United States at almost the same time, and more than a dozen telegrams were piled up in front of U.S. President Garfield. The U.S. president had limited interest in these cables, and he did not expect that China would be able to send so many Indians to Europe in such a short period of time. President Garfield was not surprised by China's proposal. Because on July 14, the day before the Chinese ambassadors to Europe held a banquet and gave the information, the Chinese representative did deliver the same document to the President of the United States.
The document demanded that the United States immediately and unconditionally surrender to the Indians and obey all orders of the Indians. If it weren't for the fact that the United States had been repeatedly defeated on the battlefield at this time, there would have been no dawn of victory. President Garfield might be able to get angry.
President Garfield has decided to ignore these contents for the time being. Perhaps because of the constant threat from the British, Americans are accustomed to being destroyed by devastating forces. As an American, President Garfield can easily acknowledge the current crisis of national annihilation.
"Gentlemen, we need to think about conscription now. Recently, many European immigrants have chosen to leave the United States and return to Europe. This has left us with a great shortage of troops. The wrinkles on President Garfield's forehead were deep, and the eyes of the Secretaries of the Treasury, the Interior, and the Industries were not as sharp as they had been.
At this moment, the president's secretary came to inform Secretary of War that Lincoln Jr. had come to see the president. Garfield hurriedly let Lincoln Jr. in, and as soon as he saw the Secretary of War, Garfield hurriedly asked, "How is the battle in Pittsburgh?" ”
Secretary Lincoln Jr. looked rather composed, and replied in a debriefing tone, "We are sending a relief force. ”
President Garfield didn't know how to go on and said that Pittsburgh was strategically located west of the Appalachian Mountains. The Chinese burned Chicago last year, destroying America's most important cities and causing Americans to lose a huge number of people. The only major cities that can become the backbone of the first line of the Northeast are Detroit and Pittsburgh.
After the beginning of spring, the war resumed, and not long ago Detroit held out for more than a month before being occupied by China. The Chinese army sent a large number of troops to surround Pittsburgh with astonishing speed, besieging this important city. The straight-line distance from Pittsburgh to Washington is about 400 kilometers, and there is a rail connection between the two cities. Even if the Americans blow up the railway, the Chinese will be able to go straight to Huashengton along the railway line. 400 kilometers, for Chinese can reach in about half a month.
"Secretary Lincoln, what do you need now?" President Garfield chose his easiest question.
Lincoln Jr. said without hesitation, "I need troops, I need more weapons." Pittsburgh is the most important heavy industry city in the United States, and after the city was besieged, the production of weapons and equipment decreased a lot. ”
"I ...... Will order to raise as soon as possible. President Garfield replied with some embarrassment that the president of the United States has powers comparable to those of the emperor, but the emperor is just an ordinary human being, and he cannot create matter out of thin air by his own wishes. Without Secretary Lincoln Jr.'s urging, President Garfield is already urging U.S. factories to produce weapons and ammunition as quickly as possible. What you can't do, you can't do.
"Your Excellency, we need at least 100,000 rifles and the corresponding ammunition in a week. I think you can request help from Europe. Secretary Lincoln Jr. said.
Without waiting for President Garfield to speak, the Minister of Finance next to him immediately said: "We have tried, but the British and French aid has been saying that it is okay, but there is no sign of moving." And the Pope issued bonds in our name, but they asked us to allow Catholics to preach freely in the United States. This must not be allowed. ”
The United States was a Puritan country, and with the United States being wary of religious forces, Catholicism was not strong on the East Coast. The concern for the Holy See is easy to understand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although I don't want to be in the current situation, I think Europe will choose to support us in the current situation. Looking at the current world map, as long as the United States is still there, China is far away from Europe. If the Chinese wipe out the United States, ruling North America China can send a powerful navy to attack Western Europe at any time. The Atlantic Ocean is just a frontier for China, just a paradise for war. But the Atlantic Ocean is a lifeline for Western Europe. Do they really have the confidence to stand up to China's Grand Fleet? ”
At a time when the American ruling class is terrified of the status quo, Secretary Lincoln Jr.'s words suddenly gave the rulers a sense of enlightenment. That's right! It is impossible to expect Europeans to support the United States out of goodwill or justice. But Europeans must harbor fear of the notorious Chinese, and what the United States needs is to exploit that fear.
Now that he had a new idea, President Garfield immediately handed Secretary Lincoln Jr. the 'American solution' that China had offered. Secretary Lincoln Jr. quickly read the document, which was only a few pages, and as he read it, Secretary Lincoln Jr. had a deep hatred on his face. After reading it, Secretary Lincoln Jr. said angrily: "Your Excellency, this is an opportunity. China has made it clear that it wants to completely eliminate the United States, and Europe probably has no other way to go except to fully support it. I would like to ask you to order all European embassies to do their best to do so. ”
The president looked at the other two cabinet members, and they both nodded. Diplomacy is the purview of the president, and there is no need to ask Congress about this matter. And with China's offensive, there are more and more members of Congress who exist in name only, and the importance of Congress is declining.
"That's right, Your Excellency." Before President Garfield could speak, Secretary Lincoln Jr. spoke again, "Please send this document to the states." ”
This request was really much unexpected by the cabinet members, and in fact, no one took this document seriously. No matter what the Europeans think, the Americans have long believed that China's purpose is to destroy the United States. In other words, any powerful power that exists in North America, the Americans believe that the purpose of their existence is to destroy the United States. If you use documents to prove that 'the Chinese really want to destroy the United States', you will inevitably be suspected of taking off your pants and farting.
Secretary Lincoln Jr. is not a person who likes to let others guess his thoughts, and this kind of guy who keeps everything in his heart cannot be recognized by others in a country where interests are paramount. Americans need to communicate interests, and if you don't talk about it, you have nothing. So he bluntly explained his choice, "There are still many Indians in the states, and after this document is sent to the states, we don't have to worry about Indians anymore." ”
President Garfield couldn't help but nod his head loudly, and the other cabinet members also suddenly realized. They found themselves focused on China and Europe, and did not have the full range of perspectives like Secretary Lincoln Jr. The Minister of the Interior rejoiced: "As long as this document is sent to the states, the states will spontaneously attack the Indians and completely remove these extremely harmful debris." ”
In the face of such appreciation, Secretary Lincoln Jr. smiled bitterly: "That is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the militia in the countryside will be organized again." Before they deal with the Chinese, they can always organize first with the reason of dealing with the Indians. This can be regarded as military training. ”
President Garfield did not praise Secretary Lincoln Jr., but he did admire President Lincoln's son in his heart. President Lincoln was the great president of the United States who could give the instruction of 'killing an Indian every ten minutes,' and President Lincoln's purpose in killing Indians was not to satisfy his own desire to kill, but to seize more land by killing millions of Indians.
In fact, the Indians in the eastern part of the United States were basically killed, and the Indians in the western part were also very few. Secretary Lincoln Jr. must have been well aware of this, and he was only taking this opportunity to mobilize the states of the United States, and he was truly the son of President Lincoln. As for the Indians killed in the process, President Lincoln Sr. did not treat them as human beings, and the current Secretary of War Lincoln Jr. did not treat Indians as human beings, and President Garfield and the American ruling class naturally did not treat Indians as human beings.
Immediately after the decision was made, the United States sent telegrams to the embassies in Europe, and the American embassies immediately began to contact the governments. Originally, governments around the world were enthusiastic about aiding the United States, but they were reluctant to pay for it. Now every country showed goodwill, and Britain and France immediately acceded to the American demand, and Britain agreed to provide 30,000 rifles and 1 million rounds of ammunition at once. France said it would immediately ship 70,000 rifles and 5 million rounds of ammunition.
To the surprise of the American ambassador to Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm II, who had always shown immaturity of his mind, offered to provide 10,000 rifles and 300,000 rounds of ammunition, and the German ships were immediately loaded and sent to the United States.
The change in attitude of the European vampires who actually began to give is a great surprise to the American diplomatic community.
In Washington, the praised Secretary Lincoln Jr. had a slight smile on his face as he ordered the U.S. Army, "Make sure the line of communication into Pittsburgh is opened!" "Secretary Lincoln Jr. did not have the slightest dependence on the Europeans, and he was well aware that everything the Europeans did was not for the United States, but for Europe. As an American, Secretary Lincoln Jr. fought to the end for the United States.
