Chapter 1470: Revolution! United States on
At this time, New York was not the metropolis with many high-rise buildings and tens of millions of people in later generations, and the urban area was mainly in the Manhattan area, and even the Brooklyn area across the water from Manhattan was only a continuous area...... Refugee camp! Until a few months ago, it was home to the country houses of New York's top families, dotted with elaborate Western-style estates. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But now, it's full of makeshift wooden huts and tents, and it's densely packed with "new districts" that make the roads a maze of intricate alleys. As for the drainage system, it doesn't even exist, so the smell here is very bad, and there is no hard pavement, and when it rains and snows, it becomes muddy. Of course, there is no one to dispose of the garbage and feces, just piled up casually, exuding a pungent and unpleasant smell.
Most of the people who lived here had beautiful houses, large farms, herds of livestock, and happy families just over a year ago...... But now, they have almost nothing, not even the land on which they built their tents or huts. But even by this time, these down-and-out Americans still possessed one of their most valuable treasures - guns! This is almost a continent where everyone has a gun, including Britain, the United States, East China, New France, and North China, and no matter how much the people hate and disagree with each other, they all have the same views on the issue of gun ownership.
If the people of Europe believe that the vote is equal to bread, and the people of East Asia believe that the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are equal to rice, then the people of North America believe that where there are guns, there is bread, rice, land, freedom, the constitution, and many other good things that the North American people think. And they believe that once they don't have a gun in their hands, they are lambs to the slaughter...... So, when the New York Garrison Command's "gun ban" was posted everywhere in this refugee camp in Brooklyn. People here suddenly feel like they are being treated like slaves or animals to be slaughtered!
In the heart of this refugee area. There is a church built before the First North American War. Tall and exquisite, it shows the prosperity and wealth of the New World. It is now the "political center" of the Brooklyn refugee district, and there are leaders among people from the Central Great Plains, the Great Lakes, and some of the fallen areas in the South, most of them former legislators, pastors, or elderly retired military officers.
George from Virginia. Smith. Barton and Hugh. Windu. Moses is one such character. The two are also a little bit of a relative, George. Smith. Barton's father was Hugh. Windu. Mosse's uncle. Moses' grandfather was Hugh Brown, a famous American Revolutionary War general. Mosé, while he himself and George. Smith. Patton was a graduate of the Virginia Military Academy and both fought in the last North American War. However, one of them was lame in the war (Patton), and the other was too old to be drafted.
And their hometowns had been ravaged by the intruders of the Mexicans not long ago - in fact, the British were to blame. Because most of Virginia's native youth had already been sent to the front lines, it was impossible to organize a militia strong enough to defend themselves. In charge of defending it was a British infantry corps, who would have been able to repel the invading Mexicans, who were originally intent on grabbing a handful and leaving. But Britain left without a fight in order to preserve its strength, and as a result, these two old and disabled Virginia celebrities went bankrupt, and then fled to New York as refugees with their families! But even when they were refugees, they were still leaders among Virginia refugees.
Today, the tall and spacious church is filled with a number of refugee leaders of similar status, mostly elderly men, some wearing well-preserved old military uniforms. Some are the military uniforms of the original Federation, and some are the military uniforms of the original Union. The enemies who fought each other more than ten years ago have finally gathered in one place. There is only one thing they have to discuss today, and that is how to oppose the British gun ban. As for the matter of surrendering guns, there is no need to discuss it at all!
A tall, fat man with a big beard and small round glasses that seemed to be a scholar stood up first to speak: "Gentlemen, in the present situation, what we have to do is not to discuss, but to prepare for battle!" Fight for the freedom of America! ”
Another, more explosive voice immediately picked up: "I agree with Mr. Zolg, we must fight and we can only fight, and if we do not want to be slaves of the British, then there is no other way but to fight!" ”
The bearded man named Zorge nodded, and then said loudly: "A hundred years ago, our ancestors won us the United States, the most beautiful motherland in the world, with their rifles and indomitable fighting spirit!" It's a pity that we didn't protect her, we failed our ancestors, and we failed everyone who sacrificed for the freedom and independence of this land. So we deserve all the suffering we are suffering now! If we do not rise up now, if we do not stand up again, but bow our knees to the British, then we will lose the last bit of freedom, the last bit of foothold, and the last bit of hope for the future revival of the United States! America, the once prosperous, rich, free, and beautiful country, will disappear forever. And we, and our descendants, will forever be slaves of Britain! Gentlemen, show your courage and ...... with us The working class of New York fight together against the abominable British imperialism! No freedom, I'd rather die! ”
"No freedom, I'd rather die!"
"Down with British imperialism!"
"Down with the Bush traitorous government!"
"Long live America!"
At this moment, one by one, the arms that were a little old but still strong were raised high, and everyone was shouting slogans loudly. Barton and Moses, from Virginia, are no exception. Both of them knew the impassioned Friedrich Friedrich. Zorge also knew that the other party's identity was the leader of the American Workers' Association. If it had been a few months earlier, Barton and Mosé, who were large landowners in Virginia, would naturally look down on Zolg. But now Patton and Mosé are also proletariats with nothing, and even lunch and dinner can only be handed out by the government. Naturally, this class position was different, and Zorge's GCIST rhetoric was less harsh to them.
"Mr. Zolge, what are we going to do now?" The crowd's slogans stopped for a moment, and George. Smith. Barton asked, snarking his voice.
"We're going to start an armed uprising!" Zorge waved his arms vigorously, "Overthrow the Bush traitorous government and drive the British out of America!" ”
"And then?" Mosé, a retired general of the Confederate powers, then asked.
The noise in the church suddenly dissipated without a trace, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Zolg. An armed uprising is a certainty! These Americans are panicked masters without guns in their hands, and it is almost like asking for their lives to take their guns - in their opinion, they are now hungry and cold, and if there are no more guns, then wait to starve to death!
But what happens after the success of the revolution? There may be some hope for overthrowing the Bush administration and driving out the British, but it seems unreliable to rely on a revolution to drive Chinese out of North America......
"And then a new United States of America will emerge!" "This new America will include the lands of the Northeast of the United States and eastern Canada," Zorge said in an emotional tone, "and every white man willing to fight for its birth and freedom will be able to get land in this new America and start a new life after the war with the help of the new American government." We will toil and multiply in this rich white land, and with our hands and wisdom we will rebuild a strong, prosperous, rich, and inviolable American homeland! ”
He didn't say anything more about driving Chinese out of America...... 'George. Smith. Barton thought with some disappointment, even though he knew it was unrealistic, he still wanted to hear such words.
Zorge's eyes scanned the people in the church, and he was silent for a moment, and then said in an accentuated tone: "Of course, we must not forget the hatred, we must not forget who took away the rich land that belonged to us, and we must not forget who killed our brothers, sisters and children...... But we can't let this hatred lose minds like Henry. Bush is also desperate for everything, and he does not care about the disparity in strength between us and the enemy, and only knows how to fight. This is not what a wise people should do. Hatred should be the driving force for the progress and development of the new America, not the bomb of American self-destruction! We must always remember hatred, but we must not be desperate for revenge, but we must be patient and wait for the right time! ”
"Yes, we should be patient!" George. Smith. Patton nodded heavily, "As long as we keep America, we will always have a day of revenge!" Mr. Zolg, let's get to work! ”
Zolg Chong George. Smith. Patton gave a friendly smile, and of course he saw the Union general's uniform and major general rank that Patton was wearing. Of course, military personnel are needed to make a revolution, and there are not many people in the working class in New York who can become officers. The church and the surrounding refugee camps are full of veterans and officers who are old or missing arms and legs. As long as these people are drawn into the ranks of the revolution and organized, the victory of the American Revolution is just around the corner!
"Mr. Patton, we are going to make a big move, but before that we can set up a revolutionary organization."
Zorge put away his smile at this time and said in a solemn tone: "Although the power of the American people is very strong, there is no organization that can lead them in the struggle, just like the Continental Congress back then. I propose the establishment of an All-American Revolutionary Committee to lead the revolutionary struggle of the American people in a unified manner! (To be continued.) )
