Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

In five days, from the time Grant and Lincoln received the telegram to the time they arrived in Richmond, from Washington to Richmond, 300 kilometers, you can imagine the urgency of the two people's schedule.

However, Guo Ye is still very shelf-oriented, come here, Lao Tzu is a guest now, you are the host, do you still want the guests to greet the host? There is no such reason!

Guo Ye took Shi Shiran back to the Colt Arms Company, waiting for the arrival of Lincoln and Grant.

However, McMullen and Colt are not so big, the president and the commander-in-chief are here, if they don't do a good job of reception, any problem will be a big trouble!

The two men hurriedly made all safety preparations before welcoming Lincoln and his party into Richmond, and then accompanied them to the Colt Arms Company.

Colt stood in the middle and introduced the two sides, Lincoln stretched out his hand to Guo Ye and said, "Dear General Guo, for your contribution to the cause of consent of the American Federation, I, Abraham Lincoln, on behalf of the American people, would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you!" ”

Guo Ye replied lightly: "Thank you, Mr. Lincoln, I am a soldier and like to go straight, this time I am really forced to alarm you and General Grant, please forgive me!" ”

Colt smiled: "Okay, Mr. President, General Grant, General Guo Ye." Let's go to the conference room for a meeting. ”

Under Colt's leadership. The two sides came to the large conference room.

Lincoln was the first to say, "General Guo." I would like to express my great apologies for the mistreatment of Chinese laborers in Richmond, emancipating slaves and giving equal status to people of all nationalities is my lifelong ideal and pursuit, and the current civil war is also caused by the contradictions between the two sides, I think you should be clear about the position and attitude of the Northern Federal Government on this matter. We are willing to comprehensively improve the living environment and treatment of Chinese in the United States. ”

Guo Ye replied lightly: "To tell you the truth, Mr. President, General Grant, I express great indignation at this matter, in order to be able to help your government, I even led my own army to fight bloody battles against the southern rebels, just for the so-called ideal of liberating slaves, but what made us ridiculous and lamentable, in the area controlled by the north. There is such a thing, and it is my compatriots. I wonder how I would feel about this matter on Mr. President? ”

Lincoln's face turned red and he didn't speak.

Grant replied: "General Guo, Mr. President has already apologized to you for this, and the two of us came to Richmond to solve this matter, please forgive me, the two sides have stepped up cooperation and fought for the completion of the reunification of the United States as soon as possible!" ”

Guo Ye shook his head and replied: "Reunification of the United States, that is your ideal and goal, although I am willing to help you, but it does not mean that it is my ideal, let alone any struggle, I am here to earn money." ”

Lincoln said in a deep voice: "General Guo, how do you want to solve this matter, we are willing to hear it." ”

Guo Ye replied: "First, I am still very optimistic about the cooperation between our two sides, and I also very much agree with your ideals, Mr. Lincoln, so I will not fall to the Confederate government, please rest assured; Second, I need you to get all the Chinese laborers out of Richmond as soon as possible, and as for the ways and means, that is a matter for your government, and I will not interfere more; Third, when the reunification of the United States is completed, I hope that the US government will grant equal political and economic treatment to Chinese workers in the United States, without discrimination, and that all Chinese workers in the United States can freely choose their occupations, change jobs freely, and have complete personal freedom. ”

Lincoln and Grant let out a sigh, as long as Guo Ye gave a guarantee to continue to strengthen the cooperation between the two sides, then the next thing is much simpler, don't you want the equality and freedom of the Chinese in the United States, you can give them to them, anyway, this is also our ideal, whether it is yellow or black, to obtain equal and free status, this is as it should be!

Lincoln nodded and said, "General Guo, what you said is right, I completely agree with these three points......

Guo Ye waved his hand and continued: "Also, I have a bigger cooperation plan, and I need to communicate further with Mr. Lincoln, hoping that this matter can bring more positive benefits to both of us." ”

Lincoln raised his eyebrows and asked, "What plan?" ”

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lincoln, I know very well that once your country completes the formal unification, the vast and desolate western United States will inevitably set off an upsurge of development, which is even busier than it is now, but your country has a population of only 30 million, which is far from enough to support such a scale of development. ”

Lincoln nodded and replied: "General Guo, I didn't expect you to have such a keen eye in politics and economics. ”

Guo Ye said with a smile: "First, your country needs a large amount of labor input, especially the hard-working and capable Chinese laborers, who are the favorite laborers of the capitalists in your country, and the trend of Chinese coming to the United States to pan for gold will be inevitable; Second, I express my grave dissatisfaction with the abduction and trafficking of too many young laborers in our country to the United States, and that I will resolutely not tolerate our compatriots being treated like pigs and dogs by those human traffickers, and once I return to China, I will carry out the most severe crackdown on this phenomenon, not letting go of any of them, and throwing them all into the Pacific Ocean to feed the sharks! In order to protect my compatriots, and at the same time to support the development and construction of the western part of your country, I intend to personally come forward to set up a labor export company and organize a large number of laborers to come to the United States to work, and all human resources will be arranged by my people, and salaries and labor hours will be included in the unified negotiations. ”

Lincoln's heart was shocked, Labor Export Corporation! Such a company, with the strong military support of Guo Ye behind it, if the government is found to cooperate in the United States, how much benefit will it bring to both sides if tens of thousands of laborers enter the United States every year!

Lincoln glanced at Lincoln appreciatively, and said slowly: "General Guo, to tell you the truth, if you can join the American nationality and become an American, I will do my best to let you enter the Republican Party, and at the same time train you as the next leader of the Republican Party, I really have never seen an all-round person like you in my life!" ”
