Chapter 498: Go Your Own Way
The Confederate government is discussing countermeasures, and the federal government is now in full swing, and the Confederate army is now unable to attack the north again, and the whole situation has stabilized again.
Grant is a smart general, Lincoln is also a wise president, they know the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, the most important thing now is to seize this opportunity, vigorously recruit troops, and at the same time pay as much attention to training as possible, only when the combat power of the army is improved, it is possible to defeat the Confederate army and complete the great cause of unification, otherwise, once Guo Ye returns to China, it will still be a tricky situation!
Guo Ye's actions were very fast, and he threw all the things related to the expansion of the army to Chen Hai to be responsible, and he took the train to Washington with Grant, and it was rare to have a quiet time, and handed over the Sixth Army to Chen Hai to be temporarily responsible, Guo Ye was very relieved, in Washington, Guo Ye still had a lot of things to do.
Grant was very puzzled on the train, and said dissatisfied: "General Guo, I am dissatisfied with your desertion now, although the war has been temporarily stopped, it is still full of uncertainties, and the Confederate army may attack the north again at any time, it is irresponsible for you to leave Richmond so rashly!" ”
Guo Ye laughed and said, "Haha, Grant, what are you worried about?" Don't you know Chen Hai's ability, with him in charge, what are you afraid of? ”
Grant's face froze, I knew you would use this to prevaricate me, but yes, this Chen Hai's military talent looks no worse than Guo Ye, the battle of Maple Forest was too exciting, it was simply a stroke of genius, defeating a cavalry division with an infantry brigade, I really can't believe it, even if Napoleon survived, he was definitely not so powerful!
Grant said helplessly: "Then you have to tell me, what is the purpose of leaving Richmond this time, right?" The fact that you left Richmond the other day without permission and poached a Gatling made Colt very angry......"
Guo Ye smiled and said: "You also know, Grant, if Colt was healthy, I would never do such a thing, but now that Colt is sick and sick, no one knows when he will die, and the other shareholders are not as friendly to me as Colt, I can't help but guard against it, and presumably your government will never allow me to take the largest stake in the most famous arms company in your country, right?" ”
Grant said angrily: "Okay, you're shrewd, okay?" Tell me, what is the purpose of this trip to Washington? ”
Guo Ye's face turned straight, and he said in a deep voice: "Grant, I have a bad premonition, maybe, I won't stay in your country for too long, before I leave your country, I must make some preparations, business preparations!" ”
"Ready for business?"
Grant was stunned, a general, what do you do if you have nothing to do with business?
Guo Ye continued: "This still needs the help of your government, I need a batch of basic industrial equipment, such as machine tools that must be equipped in industrial manufacturing, such as your country's new oil refining equipment, such as your country's rail manufacturing technology, and telegraph technology, these are what I urgently need, while I am still in the United States this time, I want to get them all at once, the price is negotiable, I also believe that with my current reputation, no one should kill me, right?" ”
Grant's heart was shocked, this Guo Ye, every step he takes, there is a deep meaning behind it, these industries are either the most basic industries or the most advanced industries, with these as the foundation, the rejuvenation of the Qing Dynasty, that is expected! This guy is really a genius!
Grant smiled: "You are right, you have now become the greatest hero in the eyes of the American people, at this time, who dares to make your money, once the news leaks, it will be ugly, very ugly......"
However, in an instant, Grant was shocked: "General Guo, what did you, what did you say?" You want to go home! ”
Guo Ye nodded and replied: "Grant, from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to go back now, but the timing is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment, I just think that my heart is not very peaceful these days, so you can pray more, I hope there will be no other incidents!" ”
Grant glared at Guo Ye angrily, and scolded with a smile: "Damn, you know how to scare me, Lao Tzu is in his fifties, and he can't stand your intimidation!" It's okay, as long as there is no big mess in your country, I will never allow you to return to China! ”
In a few days, Guo Ye came to Washington, and together with Xue Fucheng, he also rushed over and accompanied Guo Ye, after all, he had to purchase a large amount of materials, and he couldn't do it without a helper, and now Xue Fucheng has experienced two or three years of experience and has excellent ability.
Britain and France issued a note to the Qing government and the federal government at the same time, saying that the American Civil War was only an internal affair of the United States, and no other country should be involved, severely condemning the Qing government's behavior of sending military personnel to participate in the American Civil War, and demanding that the Qing government recall Guo Ye as soon as possible, and if Guo Ye is allowed to stay in the United States, Britain and France will take further measures to punish the Qing government's behavior!
Although there is no reaction from the Qing government now, it is obvious that with the current state of the Qing government, where do they dare to offend Britain and France again? What's more, now that they are still too busy to take care of themselves, there is even more reason to ask Guo Ye to return to China as soon as possible!
White House.
Lincoln's face turned blue with anger, England, France, these two damned robbers! You keep condemning the Qing government for interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, why do you still point fingers at the United States? Is the Confederate government's military advisory corps all bastards that fell from the sky? Damn it! You are waiting for me, sooner or later, we will come back with revenge!
Grant was even more furious, and shouted: "Mr. Lincoln, don't worry about these mongrels, we just won't let Guo Ye go back, see what they can do, they have the ability to bite me!" They have the ability to let the Qing government cut Guo Ye, but they want to see if the Qing government has the courage and courage! ”
Lincoln set his sights on Guo Ye, after all, this matter still depends on Guo Ye's attitude, his attitude is the most important, as long as he can hold on, then there is no problem!
Guo Ye smiled faintly: "Mr. Lincoln, what do you care about them?" They condemn if they want to condemn, protest if they want to protest, send you a word, go their own way, they have no way out!! (To be continued.) )
