Chapter 1071: Armistice between the North and the South
Davis could not have imagined that Seward would be so bold as to be willing to abandon Washington, which had once been the capital, and this reason was simply to declare war on the United Kingdom of Hexi.
Thinking of what Seward said just now, what those Chinese have done to encroach on the territory of the United States, if he does not agree to come down, I am afraid that it will not only be bad for the United States, but also bad for his own reputation.
It's just that you really want to declare war on the United Kingdom of Hexi?
Everyone knows that it is a shadow of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire, which has begun to rise to become a powerful empire, not only occupied northern Mexico with France, but also basically controlled Kansas and Missouri, and now occupies Iowa and Minnesota and California, which are two places in the north and west. Seward may not know, but Davis, as the president of the Confederate States, had dealt with General Peng of the Chinese Empire several times, but he had some understanding of the strength of the Chinese Empire in the Americas. This General Peng, not only has 30,000 infantry, but also leads a Pacific Fleet with dozens of large and small warships. And the general Peng seemed to show off and actually threatened to tell him that the Chinese Empire had a total of four such fleets. Davis, though reluctant to believe it, also speculated that at least two or three such fleets should have existed. And their huge transportation capacity is even more shocking to Davis, such a long distance, a one-time transport of more than 30,000 troops to northern Mexico, this is not necessarily their greatest ability, that is to say, once the war starts, within three months, the Chinese Empire can gather more than 60,000 infantry and a strong naval fleet, such a strength, although the Southern Alliance countries will not be afraid, but really to fight with such an army, there will still be huge losses.
What's more, the Chinese Empire is also a creditor of the Confederate States of America, helping the Confederate States of America gain a foothold in the international community and providing a lot of help. Is it really appropriate to declare war on the United Kingdom of Hexi yourself?
Davis hesitated.
Seeing this, Seward seemed to understand Davis's thoughts, and said, "Mr. President, you can't hesitate!" The so-called United Kingdom of Transkawani, obviously, wanted to occupy the area west of the Mississippi River. When the time comes, the present-day states of Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana in your Confederate states, which are also west of the Mississippi River, will also be invaded by them! Now that they have occupied Iowa and Minnesota in the north, and now they have seized the opportunity to annex California, they are stepping up their push into the west, and before long the entire vast western region west of the Mississippi River will be on the plate of the United Kingdom of the West River.
At that time, the Chinese Empire will annex the so-called United Kingdom of Hexi, and connect the Hexi region with northern Mexico, and the Chinese Empire will not only gain a firm foothold in North America, but will also become a superpower in North America, directly threatening you and me, North and South America. Believe me, these yellow-skinned monkeys are not well-being, those damned Indians and Irish have been deceived by them, and we cannot indulge them like this any longer. Otherwise, the painstaking efforts of our American forefathers and the results of the Westward Expansion Movement more than 10 years ago will be completely wiped out. ”
Davis was somewhat moved by Seward's words. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Siward, there is some truth in what you said. But it is very difficult for my allies to declare war on the Chinese Empire. After all, the other side helped the independence of our Union State. ”
Siward was anxious and hurriedly said: "Mr. President, now it is the United Kingdom of Hexi, and the Chinese Empire has not publicly declared that it has anything to do with it, but in the name of Indians, Irish and Chinese laborers, in this case, you can completely pretend that you do not understand the relationship between them and the Chinese Empire, and find a reason to declare war on the United Kingdom of Hexi." I believe that we will cease war between the north and the south, and turn together to deal with this United Kingdom of Hexi and recover our western land!
And I can promise on behalf of the Federation that whoever controls the western region and takes it from the United Kingdom of Hexi will belong to whomever he wants. ”
When Davis heard this, he was even more moved, and finally nodded and agreed.
All that's left is to negotiate the details of the conditions.
After several rounds of bargaining, the Secretary of State of the Confederate States Robert Toombs and the Secretary of War Walker Leero and the Secretary of State Seward and the Secretary of War Edwin Stanton of the Confederate States finally finalized the main points of the two sides.
At present, the two sides signed a peace agreement on the armistice between the north and the south, stipulating that the Confederate States of the South and the Confederate States of the North should immediately cease all hostilities in all directions, release their respective prisoners of war, and regard the areas under the actual control of the two sides in the current battlefield as the boundary, with the South under the control of the Allied State and the North under the control of the Union State.
At the same time, the North and the South concluded a treaty of friendship, mutual assistance and non-aggression, established a strategic offensive and defensive alliance, jointly suppressed the rebel force in the United States, the United Kingdom of Hexi, declared war on the rebel forces, and asked the forces of the world to help the United States quell the rebellion and at least maintain neutrality.
As for the troops, both sides agreed to transfer most of the troops facing the north and south to the western Mississippi River area, preparing to attack the so-called United Kingdom of the West of the River and recover the area west of the Mississippi River.
The Northern American Federation mobilized 100,000 troops from Minnesota to Iowa and Illinois to attack the Hexi Army in the area west of the Mississippi River.
The Confederate States of America in the south mobilized 50,000 troops to attack Missouri and Kansas west of the Mississippi River from Arkansas and Tennessee and other areas occupied by the so-called Hexi Army, and at the same time, prepared to build 20,000 troops from Texas across New Mexico to California, preparing to seize California.
Naturally, for the two sides, now that they have reached a consensus and send troops together to suppress the so-called United Kingdom of Hexi, it will not be long before they will win. And the sooner troops are sent and the sooner they occupy more areas, the better it will be for the future size of the country. Therefore, both the North and the South will rush to send troops to expand the size of the country.
In addition, the two countries have declared that they will keep a close watch on the Indians and the Irish in their respective territories. In fact, what they did not preach to the public was that the most important thing was to monitor and control the Chinese in various places, especially in areas like San Francisco, where the Chinese were concentrated, to avoid the recurrence of Chinese rebellions.
Beginning at noon the next day, the news that the governments of North and South America had ceased war and formed an alliance to suppress the rebellion in the United Kingdom of Hexi immediately spread throughout the American continent through Washington, New York, Richmond, and other major newspapers.
