On the vast blue seas, Tiki's fleet moves fast.

By now, they have moved away from San Francisco.

Titch halted the fleet for a moment and asked Li Zhen to board the flagship, while all the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion followed aboard. Titch settled the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion and placed tables, chairs and benches on the deck for Li Zhen, Chen Yucheng, Liu Jintang, Scott and others to sit down. The warm sun shines on the body, and it is very comfortable.

Titch's eyes fell on Li Zhen and said, "President Li-, after less than a year, we meet again. ”

Li Zhen said: "Yes, but the way we met this time is a little special. ”

Titch laughed and said, "President Lee is so humorous!" He looked at Li Zhen, thought for a while, and said, "President Li-, in fact, I have a doubt in my heart, but if I ask, I'm afraid it's a bit presumptuous. ”

Li Zhen said: "Be refreshed, say it directly!" ”

"I've heard about the Civil War in the American Commonwealth," Titch said. My people have found out that the actual mastermind of this battle should have been personally planned by you, President Lee. In this way, you are a great benefactor of the Federation, with your great help to the United States Federation, plus you are the president of China, your status is extraordinary, with the courage of the United States Federal Government, you will not be allowed to return to China! ”

Li Zhen had a smile on his face and said, "Of course, I want to return to China, and Lincoln naturally won't dare to stop me." And when I left Washington, Lincoln hosted a party to see me off at the White House. ”

Titch was confused, scratched his head and said, "If Lincoln doesn't stop him, why did he let me send troops?" ”

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Because of one person!" ”

"Who?" Titch asked curiously.

Li Zhen waved his finger at Scott and Scott's wife Maria, and said with a smile: "This is Mr. and Mrs. Scott, Mr. Scott is the former commander of the Federation." Because of him, Lincoln made a big move. Without Mr. Scott, I would have left the United States. But Mr. Scott was with me, and it was impossible to leave, so I asked Captain Titch for help. ”

Titch looked horrified, and when he looked at Li Zhen, his eyes were full of admiration.

Look, that's how people don't do it!

They went to the U.S. Commonwealth, and when they left, they took the supreme commanders of the federal forces with them.

Thomson was still confused, didn't understand Li Zhen's purpose, and interjected: "President Li-, Mr. Scott has nothing to do with you, why did you kidnap him?" Are you taking revenge on the U.S. Federation? ”

"Poof!!"

Li Zhen took a sip of water and squirted it out directly.

Kidnap?

When did he kidnap Scott!

Scott seemed to be smiling, and that look in his eyes seemed to be really Li Zhen becoming a kidnapper.

When Li Zhen saw this, he was even more resentful.

Liu Jintang was also surprised by Thomson's words, waved his hand, and quickly explained: "Your Excellency misunderstood, Mr. Scott was not kidnapped by the president, but went to China voluntarily. By the time the Civil War broke out, Mr. Scott had stepped down as commander of the Union Army and had promised the President a willingness to go to China. ”

"The civil war broke out, the North was defeated in successive battles, and the situation was unfavorable, so the President recommended Mr. Scott to command, so Mr. Scott returned to the command of the Union Army, and commanded the army to attack the Southern government. After quelling the rebellion in the South, Mr. Scott resigned as commander of the Union Army and left with the President. ”

"Before Mr. Scott commanded the army to pacify the South, he had promised the president to go to China to help run the school, so there was no kidnapping. Because of Mr. Scott's status, the federal government did not want Mr. Scott to leave, so it sent people to intercept him. In order to get Mr. Scott away, the President thought of having you join in. ”

Liu Jintang explained carefully, and everyone suddenly realized.

It turns out that this is the reason.

Li Zhen changed his words and asked, "Captain Titch, how is the situation of the pirate group recently?" ”

Referring to the situation of the pirate group, he was the most proud of Tiqi's heart, and with a proud look on his face, he said loudly: "The current pirate group is too good to be good, and now, the pirate group has become the largest team around the Hawaiian Islands. Even King Kamehameha does not dare to use force against us easily, and this is the benefit of strength. ”

After a pause, Titch said: "This time President Lee is returning to China, passing by the island of Hawaii, going to sit on our island, and the brothers want to see President Lee in the face." ”

Li Zhen said: "It's an honor! ”

Titch had a smile on his face, feeling that he had a face.

……

Washington, D.C., the official residence of the White House President.

In his office, Lincoln received a telegram from San Francisco.

After reading the telegram, his chest was full of anger, and his eyes flashed with ferocity. He didn't expect that Li Zhen would take Scott away in such a way, which was simply too deceitful. What's more serious is that once Li Zhen leaves, it will be impossible to capture Scott again, and even if Li Zhen returns to China, it will be impossible to bring Scott back.

"Someone, inform His Excellency Seward to the office!"

Lincoln commanded, and the soldiers immediately went to inform.

Soon, Seward was in Lincoln's office. In addition to the fact that Scott left Washington, Seward was happy because the Civil War was finally over. Everything is going for the better. With a smile on his face, he asked with a smile, "Your Excellency, have you found the Scott family?" ”

Lincoln said, "Yes, I've found it!" ”

The joy on Seward's face was overflowing, and he suddenly became excited.

Lincoln changed his words, and then said in a cold voice: "The person has indeed been found, but he has already left San Francisco with Li Zhen." As he spoke, he handed the telegram in his hand to Seward.

After reading it, Seward's expression was cold, and he couldn't help but be angry.

"Damn, Li Zhen is so hateful!"

Seward was like an angry old lion, unable to calm down.

Lincoln rubbed his sour cheeks and said helplessly, "Your Excellency Seward, I have invited you here to discuss how to deal with this matter. It has happened, Li Zhen and Scott have also left, anger is useless, and this matter must be dealt with. ”

Seward listened and sat down.

After a while, Siward had already made up his mind and said: "Regarding Scott, I believe that he will not reveal state secrets, and it is impossible for Scott to enter Li Zhen's army, he is a patriotic person." Scott went to China, most likely to help Li Zhen establish a military academy and become a professor at the military academy. Therefore, even if he goes to China, it will not have much impact. ”

After a pause, Seward said, "Scott is a free body, where does he want to go?" We have no power to stand in the way. There have been cases of successive presidents who have done business in various countries or settled in other countries after they left office, and Scott is not a special case. ”

Lincoln said: "I understand what you said, but Li Zhen is too deceitful. ”

Xiward sighed: "I also hate Li Zhen very much, and I can't wait to peel him and cramp him." However, I have to say that Li Zhen is as cunning as a fox, ruthless, and does not play cards according to common sense, which is difficult to deal with. China has Li Zhenzai and will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future. Let's keep things in San Francisco down and don't cause more volatility that will affect the government. ”

Lincoln gritted his teeth and had to choose to compromise.
