Thomas. After Edison took Li Mengyang's $100,000, he really had a good time for a while, and $100,000 this year is really a lot of money.

Of course, if it was before the Civil War, it would have been even cooler.

If you don't say anything else, it's Cyrus. Field, this guy was a rich man, a successful man before he got that Atlantic submarine cable, but what was his net worth at the time?

$120,000!

Before the Civil War, this was a rich man, of course, after the Civil War, the dollar depreciated a lot, and the paper money was gone.

However, this 100,000 is also really easy to use, if it is an ordinary person, he gets so much money at once, then he ...... It won't be long before there is nothing left!

Windfalls are generally like this, people are like this, the shortcomings of human nature. Thomas. Edison is no exception, this guy also wants to enjoy it at first, and then he retracts, but where is this kind of thing so easy?

When only 10,000 dollars were spent, Edison finally woke up!

It's not bad, I'm afraid that the average person will spend their money completely, for example, when there are records in later generations, those who win the lotto, after ten years, many of them are not as good as before they didn't win the lottery......

In fact, there is another reason for this, that is, when Edison ran away, he wanted to make one thing, that is, the light bulb!

The situation at that time was that the Empire had already made a light bulb, and there was no other place to do it, and the United States of America was still boycotting this thing, so it was really a good deal, and now the most critical question is. Get this bulb out!

Edison was in a hurry. So he just saw the shape of the light bulb. He didn't know what the filament was inside.

But this, it's nothing, Edison's characteristic is a trick, try things one by one!

It should be said that Edison's method is not smart, and because of this, many people disdain to do it. And this is actually Edison's chance.

And so, the failures began again and again!

Edison used almost all the materials he could find, and when his $10,000 was about to run out, he finally found it, which was tungsten!

In fact...... How can it be such a coincidence, Edison, this guy bought a product for export to the United Kingdom, and only after dismantling the light bulb did he understand!

Naked copycat, and this guy still has a point!

"Who doesn't copy the English now? I also copied the goods of the British! ”

Well, the reality is that it is. Almost all of the industrial system on the part of the United States was copied from the British, but it was not ...... Never mind. I don't care about these details, anyway, now Edison has made his 'own' light bulb and gone to the patent office!

"What? Already applied? ”

When Edison ran to Washington to apply for a patent, this guy was directly dumbfounded!

But this is not right, the United States is boycotting the products of that empire, and it is not recognized!

"Rockefeller ......"

That's right, this person applied for a patent for this light bulb before Edison, and at the same time, this person also applied for a technology patent for alternating current.

Alternating current?

Of course, the light bulb has to use electricity, so Edison naturally did research on the theory of electricity in the world at this stage, although he is relatively stupid, but the current electricity is not difficult, Li Mengyang can see it clearly.

Then since it's alternating current, someone else's, it's better to get a direct current!

As a result, Edison made a number of related technology patents, and it has been until now.

Originally, it was a total of money to make a lot of money, but I didn't expect that the empire would come over!

There's no way, if he is caught by that emperor, Edison will die, he's still young, he's really young, he can't die.

Take refuge!

The plan is already in place, which is to run from New York to Boston, and from there take a boat to Europe!

Britain should be engaged in alternating current, then Edison can only go to the European continent, France, France is good!

Edison set his goal, but France ...... It hasn't come out yet, has it?

Some are gone, some are staying, but the normal riots in New York ......

"Look at that! The fire is burning! ”

"New York is going to be messy!"

"What did His Majesty the Emperor say?"

"It seems to say that Your Majesty wants a complete New York, and our Imperial Army should not damage every grass and tree in New York......"

"This ......"

In the steel behemoth of New York Harbor, the San Francisco, Matthew Murphy. McConaughey and Samuel. DuPont and; The old drunkard Erickson was discussing, they saw Manhattan on fire, and they had been ordered to take New York in its entirety!

New York, one of the largest cities in the world today, is also the largest city in the United States, and is now the center of commerce and trade in the east, so it is natural that such a place should be destroyed as little as possible, and this is the main reason why the San Francisco was taken out!

With such a super battleship swinging here, Li Mengyang thinks, so you don't surrender?

It should be said that the effect is still very good, but I didn't expect this detail, which is more unexpected.

The first one, right now Matthew and the others, didn't know that Sward was dead, and no one thought that Sward would be on that Constitution.

Second, because of Sword's death, the soldiers he originally recruited could no longer be restrained, which was also an accident.

Third, that is, because he wanted to take New York completely, DuPont did that ultimatum, and then Matthew gave another ten hours. This is a rule set by ourselves, and we can break it ourselves?

So, the current situation is that this super fleet of the Empire is not moving, and it is not looking at it like this, so what can be done?

But sometimes things turn out very, very unexpectedly......

"Huh? Look! ”

While Matthew and the three of them were figuring out what to do, they spotted a British battleship approaching their side, with a white flag on it, and a lifeboat lowered!

This is obviously a posture to talk about, which is good.

Let's talk!

"Generals! We all surrendered! All surrendered! Now please go to Manhattan and put down the rebellion there, shall we? ”

The person who came was none other than the great nobleman Count Clarendon!

"All surrendered?" Samuel. DuPont took control of the giant ship again at this time, so he came to make up his mind, but can he believe it if he surrendered?

"General Dupont! Believe me, I'm Count IV of Clarendon and I swear by that name, we really all surrendered! Not only our British warships, but also the warships of the United States, have surrendered! Believe it or not! ”

It doesn't matter if you look at it, don't even say it, those warships of the United States are all flying white flags!

So what's going on here?

The reason is very interesting, isn't it chaotic here in Manhattan?

It doesn't matter if it's a mess, most of the citizens here in New York are frightened birds now.

Don't forget, the big revolution that Li Mengyang did before, New York has a lot of tossing, this is the same time. And then, because of the problem of conscription, that is, the 300 dollars can be exempted from military service, you must know that there are many rich people in New York, and there are many people who pay 300 dollars, so the people are naturally unhappy, so they make trouble again. In addition, the capitalists also use the workers to death, so this ......

Suffice it to say, since the beginning of the Civil War, there have been several riots in New York, as if the city had riot genes.

In this case, the people of New York have learned to be obedient, as soon as they see a disturbance and want to be chaotic, then everyone in a hurry will run, this run needs transportation, and the boat is a pretty good means of transportation.

As a result, the British suffered a little, in short, there were a lot of refugees!

Refugees from the United States of America, this refugee is rare, if Li Mengyang knows about this, then he will definitely cry and laugh, because the United States is a country, in the future generations, it has created at least millions of refugees in the world, and they don't care, as far as accepting refugees is concerned, the probability is one in 2500, and you must also be politically correct!

Then this refugee British was numb at that time, what else could they do? Kill?

It's not just the British boat that someone rushed to get on, but the American ship over there too, so is this matter...... Simply, the two sides have studied it, and this is already the case, and Ward is also dead, so what are we going to do? Just surrender!

"Good! Since this is the case, then of course our Imperial Army must fulfill its promise! It's chaos in New York City, and we're here to put it down! "How smart is General Dupont, can he miss this opportunity?

So, the Imperial Superfleet in New York Harbor moved!

The steel monster didn't move much, mainly some of her frigates, and Dahlgren's ship, in fact, they were also afraid that these British people would play yin, so they kept a hand.

And the frigate is still a guard, because Dahlgren's ship is an old-fashioned battleship, such a battleship can be loaded, so there are actually two thousand imperial troops in it!

"Aha! New York! Manhattan! Lao Tzu is back! ”

After landing on New York soil, Matthew . McConaughey, the imperial lieutenant general, with more than 2,000 of his subordinates, began to show off his might to quell the chaos......

"Thank God! We are finally saved! ”

Wall Street, a legendary street, is really a mess at this time, with so many corpses and a lot of mess, just like Judgment Day. And JP. Morgan, a well-known banker, was disgraced at this time when he saw the Imperial Army in green uniforms...... It's like seeing a loved one! (To be continued......)

PS: What, after watching the ball yesterday, the black car was really excited and couldn't sleep all night, and it was a little late, I hope you forgive me, thank you very much!
