New York is rainy in the spring, and the humid warm winds blowing from the Atlantic Ocean bring abundant rain to the city, which plunges the city into spring rain, while New York is in a storm, or more precisely, the entire federal government is in a storm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now in its third year of civil war, and although the Union forces seemed to have the upper hand on the battlefield and won battle after battle before last year, it seemed that the rebellion of the Southern rebels could be put down at any time and the war would soon be over.

However, the changes in warfare are often unexpected.

From Robert? Since Lee took command of the Northern Virginia Legion, the Goddess of Victory no longer seems to favor the Union Army, and the counterattacks have not only saved the South from the brink of danger, but also thwarted the attacks of the North many times, making the North's hard-won advantage come to naught.

Facing Robert? Lee's victory, the "peace movement" within the Federation was re-energized, and at the same time everyone knew that now Robert? Lee may be planning a new offensive, who will be able to stop Robert? Plum?

No one knew, and in the most immediate response, New York's financial markets answered that the "greenbacks" of non-convertible banknotes issued by the federal government to finance military expenditures were rapidly depreciating. The market does not have much confidence in the future.

But for New York, the war still seems to be a long way off, and perhaps it is more concerned with other news than the civil war.

"Read the newspapers, read the newspapers, Chinese over the Rocky Mountains......"

Amid the shouts of the newspaper sellers, some passers-by had bought newspapers, and they looked at the contents of the newspaper with a serious look on their faces.

War!

Perhaps the smoke cloud of war has long enveloped the United States, but for some, the war caused by the differences between Americans and Americans is just a "conflict" that is fundamentally different from the arrival of the Chinese.

The Chinese are going to take over the world!

I don't know when there have been such statements everywhere in New York, in Washington, and in the United States, and the wars that took place in Europe have made people no longer doubt this, although many so-called "native Americans" have been hostile to the British since childhood, but when Britain is facing defeat, they can't help but feel a kind of sadness.

It seems that for them now, the defeat of Britain is quite possible to realize the "decline of civilization". Just like the fall of Rome back then. Even before the idea of "maybe America is the next Rome" came to the hearts of Americans, the news that the Chinese crossed the Rocky Mountains once again shocked Americans.

Before that, although the war between China and Britain had turned into a world war, it seemed to the Americans that this "world war" was still far away from them, because for them it was a "new continent" far from the "old continent".

Even after the French invasion of Mexico, for the Americans, perhaps some of them were angry with the "Monroe Ists", but they could only face the reality helplessly. Despite their frustration, they didn't show too much excitement.

But now, when the Chinese army crossed the Rocky Mountains and appeared on the Great Plains of North America, albeit only in the north, in the British colonies, it still thrilled the Americans, because for the first time they felt the threat of the "Old World" war to the "New World". More importantly, they see the possibility of war burning on the U.S. border, and of course, what is even more worrying is that the Chinese are still hostile to the United States.

How did the animosity between China and the United States arise?

From the total annihilation of the U.S. Far East Fleet in the "Battle of Guangzhou Bay," to the U.S. support for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and to the exile of the Manchu chieftain to the United States, it can be said that this kind of hostility between the two countries has almost reached the point of irreconcilability over time, especially after the outbreak of the civil war, the Chinese side insisted on the right to free trade, which even led to the war between China and the United States to the point of breaking out.

"The British are the enemies of the United States, but China wants to destroy the United States!"

Over the past two years, every American has seen similar news in the newspapers, and some Americans even believe that the outbreak of the American Civil War was the result of Chinese instigation, which is of course nonsense. But even so, there are still people who believe it.

So much so that almost every day, outside the door of the Chinese consulate in New York, there are some Americans protesting, and even some Americans will question the government, why not close this consulate, so as to completely break off diplomatic relations with China, of course, Washington will never do that, after all, they also need to keep a channel of communication with the big powers, maybe they can expel the ambassador, in response to China's closure of the embassy in Washington, but the two countries are unwilling to really break off diplomatic relations, and it is in this case, The consulate in New York has become an embassy of sorts, one of the most important channels of communication between the two countries at the moment.

"In the north, many people believe that the Chinese, sooner or later, will invade the United States!"

In the face of the Chinese consul, Seward's brow furrowed suddenly, he frowned because of the impatience shown by the other party, he smoked a cigar and drank tea, but he was always there looking at his watch, as if he had other more important things, and what was more important now?

The news that the Chinese army appeared in North America and crossed the Rocky Mountains shocked the whole of Washington, and almost everyone in Washington was talking about the news, of course, including President Lincoln, tens of thousands of Chinese troops, just quietly appeared in North America, and launched an attack on the British colonies in North America like a whirlwind and clouds, and the fall of British colonial towns made the United States, which has always been eyeing Canada, how could it tolerate others swallowing this piece of fat in their mouths. Not to mention China, which is hostile to the United States.

The Americans have not forgotten how the British went all the way south from Canada to conquer Washington, and then burned out of the White House. Of course, they are more afraid that after Canada becomes a colony of China, a steady stream of Chinese will dye the entire North American plain yellow like a tide, and not only Canada, but even the United States, may be completely changed there! In the end, it was completely reduced to China's "confinement".

"A lot of people believe ......"

Sneering, Wang Wenshao held a cigar between his fingers, looked at the secretary of state in front of him and asked rhetorically.

"Who believes? It's the racists in the United States who believe it! Those so-called white supremacist racists can't accept Chinese appear in North America, and you keep saying "emancipation of black slaves" and saying that this is a "just war", but in fact, you ...... Washington, everyone is a group of racists full of prejudice against the Chinese in their bones! ”

Unceremonious words, made Siward say angrily.

"Mr. Ambassador, be careful with your words! You are an insult to a country! ”

"Insults? To a country? What about your newspapers? Your newspapers are full of racist cartoons and rhetoric, and over the years, have you ever stopped insulting the Chinese Empire? While refuting the other party, Wang Wenshao asked rhetorically.

"As for Canada, I wonder, is Canada a territory of the United States? Of course not, since it is not the territory of the United States, then what does it have to do with the United States when our troops appear there? What's more, the present war between us and Britain gives us every reason to attack the colonies belonging to Britain in any place! ”

"Canada is North America! The United States must take into account the interests of the United States! Mr! ”

"Why can't our army appear in North America? It's because of the phrase "Is America the America of the Americans?" ””

In the face of the reasons of the Secretary of State of Warward Westward, Wang Wenshao's tone was full of mockery, and he looked at the other party as if he was telling a very funny joke.

"America is America for Americans"

This is nothing more than the huge ambition of the United States to dominate the Americas, monopolize Latin America, and obtain a large number of colonial interests. But for China, it's also a reminder that "Asia is Asian's Asia", and of course it's also about monopolizing Asia, or at least Southeast Asia. China can do that in Asia, but Americans can't, because China now has special interests in Canada and Panama.

"Mr. Consul, the reason why I am here from Washington is to avoid further aggravation of the misunderstanding between our two countries, and this is a visit based on the future friendship between the two countries, not to intensify the contradictions between the two countries!"

At this time, as the secretary of state, the whole person seems to be a little withdrawn, the reason why he seems very helpless, is more based on a kind of helplessness in national strength, now the United States is in a civil war, there is no possibility to challenge China at all, in this case, in addition to protesting through diplomatic channels, what can the United States do? Is it possible that in this situation, there is a war with the Chinese for Canada?

Now, on the contrary, Sewards deeply felt the helplessness of being a "weak", especially when the strong were arrogant, just like China now, and their military victories allowed them to expand their colonies around the world with impunity, without having to consider the attitude of any other country, just as they did not consider the interests of the United States at all.

"No, not because" America is the America of the Americans", but because, your country's actions in Canada have seriously threatened the interests of our country, and in this case, the United States has to take into account its own fundamental interests, Mr. Consul, under no circumstances will the United States accept the Chinese occupation of Canada! ”

Is this a threat?

Of course, for Wang Wenshao, he was willing to understand this as a threat, and he looked at the other party and asked rhetorically.

"Won't accept it? Is it? But what else can you do? ”
