After a little pondering in his heart, Li Zhen understood the reason.

Historically, it was at this time that the slave owners of the South rebelled. Since the head of government, headed by Lincoln, believed that the South would not rebel, many places controlled by the North were unprepared, so much so that the North was in a difficult situation as soon as the war began. Lincoln was now facing the same problem, so he informed Delafeld and asked Li Zhen to go to Washington to discuss the matter.

Or, to ask Li Zhen to give advice and solve the rebellion in the south.

Li Zhen is not stupid, he is not an American, why should he help Lincoln?

In the past, the Manchus were weak and bullied everywhere, and the United States was a part of it, trying to squeeze the Manchus everywhere. During Li Zhen's reign, the United States also thought that Li Zhen was a bully, and sent troops to capture the treasure island, but was defeated by Li Zhen's army. For Li Zhen, Britain, France, and Russia are not good birds, and the United States is not a good bird, and they all belong to the category of drooling when they see meat.

In later generations, Li Zhen often felt the strength of the American superpower, where did he want to meddle? Wherever he intervenes, he is still against the country everywhere, so Li Zhen does not plan to go.

You fight, the harder you fight, the better.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me!

I'm not a good person, I'm not a savior, it's my business!

After Li Zhen made up his mind, he said solemnly: "Mr. Principal, I'm sorry, I can't go!" ”

"Ahh

Delafeld exclaimed, his brow twitching.

He stared at Li Zhen with a question in his eyes and asked, "President Li-, why can't you go to Washington?" Now that the north and the south are at war, the south has long been prepared, so that the north is passive everywhere, and now it is still mobilizing troops to try to recapture the lost places. President Lee is the best military commander and your generals are excellent, and with your help, you will be able to turn the tide in the shortest possible time. When the time comes, the country will be reunified, we will thank you for your help, and you will be a permanent friend of the Federation. ”

"Thanks?"

Li Zhen sneered in his heart, he wouldn't think so.

Between countries, there are only interests, and friendship cannot arise.

In later generations, in the early days of the founding of the country, the relationship between his country and the northern ** was very good, like wearing a pair of pants, or even sharing a pair of underwear. But with the development of both sides, problems also arise.

Li Zhen is very clear-headed and will not be bound by the so-called 'friendship'.

Li Zhen said: "Please forgive me, Mr. President, I really can't go to Washington. ”

He immediately changed his words and said, "If Mr. Headmaster doesn't look for me, I will go to you too." I've already discussed the next trip with my entourage. Next, we will depart for Harvard University and Yale University, where we will learn from these two top schools and lay the foundation for schools in China. ”

Drafield still did not give up, and persuaded him bitterly: "As long as President Lee is willing to help the Federation solve the war between the North and the South, any information you need, any help you need, the Federation can help you with it." ”

When Rong Hong heard this, he was immediately moved.

If it can get the full help of the American Federation, it will be easier for China to build a comprehensive university, and there will be many detours.

Li Zhen shook his head in denial and said, "I have made up my mind and will not change it." Please tell Your Excellency the President, Mr. Chancellor, that this is the Commonwealth's own business, and that I am the president of another country, and it is inconvenient to interfere too much, otherwise I will be blamed. Just like two families have their own family affairs, neither side can interfere with the other. When I visit Harvard and Yale, I'll leave. ”

Delafeld said, "Think, President Lee! ”

Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Mr. Principal, please think about it from my point of view. I am the President of China, and I am here to visit. Now that there is a little problem in the Federation, I will intervene, which is not appropriate. There are countless talents in the Federation, and they want to make a difference through this war, so I'm not suitable. Principal Delafield is a smart man and understands the truth, please forgive me. ”

Li Zhen definitely refused Delafeld's invitation.

Zuo Zongtang was on the side, nodding again and again.

Regarding the Commonwealth of America, Zuo Zongtang has no good feelings. If it weren't for the books in West Point, and for the defense of the country, he wouldn't have come with Li Zhen.

Delafield was so helpless that he had to leave.

But before leaving, Delafield said again: "Please think twice about President Lee, I am always waiting for your good news." ”

Li Zhen said with certainty: "I will take someone to Harvard soon." ”

Disappointed, Delafel left dejected.

After Delarena left, Rong Hong smiled and said, "President, there is a civil war in the American Federation, and they took the initiative to ask for help, why don't they help?" After all, we were invited by Lincoln to come, and there is a certain friendship between the two sides. ”

Li Zhen said: "I have my own plans for this matter. ”

Zuo Zongtang looked serious and said in a deep voice: "The state is different from a private person, if it is Lincoln's private matter, I will definitely support the president's action." However, we must not interfere in major national affairs involving the United States, otherwise it is easy to cause a series of problems. Between countries and countries, there are only naked-naked-naked-interests, and there is no friendship to speak of. Even, I wish that the American Federation would be hit hard, so that it would be difficult to threaten us. ”

Li Zhen nodded, agreeing with Zuo Zongtang's statement.

Immediately, Li Zhen sent someone to invite Fang Su back, and after a short time, Fang Su also returned to the dormitory.

Li Zhen ordered the soldiers to pack their things and prepare to leave.

After the soldiers and their entourage had packed up their salutes, Li Zhen immediately bid farewell to Delafeld and left West Point. When they came, Li Zhen and his entourage were lightly dressed, and everyone didn't bring much things. When he left, he had a few more large boxes, all of which contained books. These books are all the gains of Zuo Zongtang, Liu Jintang, Chen Yucheng, Rong Hong and others in the military academy, and they are the experience accumulated little by little.

The group left the military academy and headed for the train station.

Arriving at the railway station, because of Li Zhen's special identity, the railway station quickly arranged five carriages for Li Zhen and his party to ride. On the platform, Li Zhen and his party are waiting for the train, which will take the bus to Massa, where Harvard is located.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the latest war report in the south!"

A boy about eleven years old was shouting with a stack of newspapers in his hand.

The boy came over, and Li Zhen also bought one.

The news in the newspapers is not the latest, according to the published information, the South has formed a state, and a government has also been formed to declare war on the North. At the same time, the government in Washington has made it clear that it does not recognize the government of the South and calls on the people of the South to boycott it. At the same time, the government in the north has also mobilized troops and began to meet the army in the south.

Just from the newspapers, you can already feel the tense atmosphere.

ps: the third shift; The fourth shift is 6 o'clock, and tomorrow Monday will break out, hey!
