Then James who came out smiled and said, "How about it, Walcott, believe it now, I believe that General Guo Ye has such superb ability, right?" ”

Walket still hasn't come to his senses, it's too shocking, why? Why! The dignified American government army was defeated by the Southern rebels, and this oriental general who came from thousands of miles away could become famous in one battle?

However, the fact could not be more obvious, more than 600 captives are laid here! There's no way to deceive this!

Walcott swallowed hard and suddenly asked James: "Mr. James, where is your telegram, I want to send a telegram, I want to send a telegram to Washington, asking the White House to immediately ask General Guo Ye's army to enter the war and protect Richmond!" General Guo Ye, I implore you to help us for the safety of the people of Richmond! ”

Guo Ye shook his head and replied: "Major Walcott, I am sorry, in order to be able to help your country, I have asked Mr. Colt to come forward a few days ago to communicate with the President of your country, Mr. Lincoln and General Grant, on the issue of our participation in the war, but we have not received a clear answer until now, I'm sorry, my soldiers are all human, and there will be casualties, and the price they have paid must be compensated accordingly, until these compensation is in place, please forgive me for not accepting your request, I will stay and protect my arsenal from infringement, and as for Richmond, there is nothing I can do. ”

Walcott stomped his feet in a hurry, now Richmond had been besieged by the Southern rebels for two or three days, and the Confederate army was pressing forward step by step, and had begun to enter the outskirts of Richmond. At this rate. I'm afraid it won't take more than two days. Richmond will definitely fall, but now Guo Ye is unwilling to participate in the war, and it is time to burn his eyebrows, President Lincoln and General Grant are unwilling to pay each other's mercenary money, what the hell should I do?

Walcot turned around and grabbed James and shouted, "James, go to the telegraph room for me at once." I'm going to send a telegram to the White House! Hurry, it's too late, and the daylilies are cold! ”

James hurriedly led Walket to the telegraph room, and Walcott dictated, and the telegraph operator sent the telegram quickly.

At the White House, Lincoln and Grant are now living like a year, and Richmond's urgent telegrams have been sent to the White House one after another, that is, the government army is really out of troops now, and the newly recruited federal government troops have not yet been trained. Now pull it up, it's purely for someone else's support!

But. The garrison in Richmond is really a little overwhelmed, it's too difficult!

At this time, the military staff officer hurriedly ran in and shouted: "Mr. President, General Grant, the military observer of the Richmond Colt Arms Company has sent a telegram!" ”

Grant's spirit was shocked and he shouted, "Read! ”

"Mr. Lincoln, General Grant, Commander of the Guard Battalion of the Fifth Division of our Federal Army, Commander Walcott, sent a request to the two of them, asking the government and the Joint Staff Headquarters to immediately reach an agreement with General Guo Ye of China and sign an agreement to let General Guo Ye lead the army into the war to defend Richmond, General Guo Ye engaged in a fierce confrontation with the Southern rebels on the periphery of the Colt Arms Company in half a day, and captured more than 600 enemy soldiers with the strength of a regiment of the Southern rebels in one fell swoop. Mr. Lincoln is invited to make a quick decision......"

When the military staff officer finished reading the telegram, Lincoln and Grant let out a long breath at the same time, what they cared about was not the dollar, but what Guo Ye's army was fighting and whether it could play its due role, otherwise, millions of dollars would be thrown in, the military shovel would be lost, and Richmond would be lost, it would be a chicken and egg fight!

Grant whispered, "Mr. Lincoln, we can't wait any longer, we must take the next step now!" ”

Lincoln asked, "How?" ”

Grant replied: "The Colt Arms Company is jointly invested and built by Colt and Guo Ye, Colt itself has a bank account opened by Guo Ye, we can ask Colt to temporarily advance three million US dollars, and then transfer all the funds to Guo Ye within a month, and ask Guo Ye to lead the army to join the war immediately, and keep Richmond alive first!" ”

Lincoln nodded, now at this time, it's no longer the time to care, reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, reluctant to let the daughter-in-law catch the hooligan, gamble!

"Grant, I authorize you, immediately contact Colt, and ask him to urge Guo Ye to lead the army to join the war immediately!"

Lincoln finally made up his mind, with more than 1,000 troops, he killed a regiment of the Southern rebels in half a day, such a strong combat power is definitely not something that the American Union Army can do, this Guo Ye really has two hits, and he deserves his reputation!

However, Guo Ye can be satisfied, but Colt is dissatisfied, why? Why do you want me to pay three million dollars, that's three million dollars, not a small amount!

"Grant, I am very dissatisfied with your decision, why do you want me to pay in advance, this is three million dollars, not thirty thousand dollars, and besides, our arms company itself has to pay them to protect the arsenal, and they have been transferred to protect Richmond, so what should the arms company do? Who will protect the interests of our arms companies? ”

Colt dissatisfied.

Grant said with a smile: "Mr. Colt, this is also a helpless thing, the federal government urgently needs Guo Ye's help now, even if the government wants to allocate funds, it also needs Congress to approve such a large amount of expenses, not that it can be taken out!" You also said, it adds up to no less than five million dollars, what can we do? For the sake of the federal government, for the sake of Richmond, Mr. Colt, this time there is only trouble for you, rest assured, the federal government and the military will definitely compensate you, absolutely to your satisfaction, all for the sake of the United States, Colt, please! ”

Colt said helplessly: "Okay, Grant, this is what you said, I only put forward one request, that is, after the reunification of the country in the future, all weapons and ammunition produced by our arsenal must be included in the first batch of priority procurement list of the federal government, and they have exclusive rights!" ”

The cunning Colt put forward the only demand, the exclusive right, that is, in the future, if the federal government wants to purchase arms, as long as the Colt Arms Company has it, then it cannot buy someone else's!

Cunning old man! Grant scolded indignantly in his heart!
