There are surrender factions, then there must be main battle factions, and many people in Philadelphia have surrendered, and they have sworn to the Bible, saying that they will be absolutely loyal to the empire, but in other places, such as New York, the situation is completely different.

"Mr. Sward! Why should we continue to fight? The empire is so powerful, let's surrender! ”

"That's right! Washington is lost, and we are still staying in New York? ”

"Mr. Sward! You are responsible for the 800,000 people of New York! ”

Ward was specially appointed by Lincoln to come to New York, and since he came to New York, basically people have told him these words, and the content is roughly the same, that is, to persuade him to surrender.

Can Sward, Secretary of State, tolerate this remark? Who would have the audacity to talk about surrender in front of the US Secretary of State?

Wall Street people......

Of course it's them, they've done so many things before, and now, of course, they just hope that Ward can surrender immediately, and the sooner and sooner the better, then the hearts of the Wall Street gang will also land.

Can Ward, the secretary of state, tolerate such remarks? Don't you make an example of the monkeys?

Kill? What are you kidding......

Of course, the secretary of state knew that the collapse of the United States' national debt was directly related to Wall Street, and of course he had already greeted the whole family of these bastards in his heart, but how could he kill him? What to kill?

These people on Wall Street are indeed national thieves, but after Ward comes to New York, who can he rely on?

At this time, New York was still a cosmopolitan city. It is still the largest city in the United States. The most awesome. But there are also various problems in this place!

The previous financial crisis also made the people of New York drink a pot, the sharp decline in the dollar treasury bonds, it will not be able to get up for a while, prices are soaring, social turmoil, fortunately the New York police have experience, and those rich people have experience. They did a good job of suppressing it......

Well, although I don't want to say it, I really have to thank the emperor for this matter, because he made a big revolution before, so the current New York police still have rich people, and their ability to deal with crises has been greatly improved, in other words, more police, more private forces!

So, Who is Ward going to kill? Does he dare to touch these Wall Street villains?

In other words, it is really a comparative grievance. But there is a good side to it.

Isn't it making trouble? Isn't it because the economic situation is not good, and there are more displaced people...... Then it will be more convenient to recruit soldiers at this time.

So, Ward, a very capable secretary of state, seized the opportunity and pulled out a big chess!

For the sake of the United States, for the sake of democracy and freedom, join the army!

As soon as this banner was flailed, you really don't want to say it, it's so good, and soon Mr. Ward, Secretary of State, gathered more than 50,000 people!

You know, after so much time in the American Civil War, recruiting has become very difficult, not only because of the $300 thing, but the key is that everyone has become disgusted with war.

In that case, the situation is very good...... How can it be!

That's 50,000 people, that's 50,000 mouths!

Sward is the secretary of state, he's not the secretary of the treasury, but he's going to have to get the money now.

Fortunately, New York is not far from West Point, otherwise Ward would have to become a general himself......

But but, let's not talk about those guys who have just come out of the military academy and don't care about these newly recruited recruits, just talk about these open mouths, so how can Sward feed them?

This thing is very difficult, and the situation in New York itself is not very good now, although it can still hold on, after all, it is a big city, but these individuals at the moment, these 50,000 people...... It's just a group of guys who can't eat, and the so-called conscription into the army is actually to get a good meal.

The financier behind Sword's help, but the landlord's family didn't have much food left, so Ward had to come to Wall Street people regularly, no way, even though these bastards were all national thieves, but now they really need to pry something out of their mouths.

As a result, Ward was washed by these surrender words almost every day, but he could only listen to it, and there was no way to refute it.

In order to get money, endure it!

But this surrender rhetoric intensified in an instant after President Lincoln announced his resignation and unconditional surrender, and then died in the riots in Philadelphia!

"Surrender! Mr. Sword! We have only one way to surrender! ”

"I really don't know how you're so stubborn! What else can we do now? ”

"Mr. Ward, you want to die, it's your own freedom, but you don't want to take the people of New York to die, okay?"

"Of those 50,000 people, I don't see any possibility of defeating that empire, not at all! So, I'm not going to give you any more money. ”

These bastards are bastards, blasphemous garbage......

In his heart, Ward really scolded these bastards on Wall Street, but he also knew that now was not the time to turn his face.

Naturally, Lincoln's death made Ward very sad, you must know that Lincoln was a very good president, really, from the heart, it is true, but the president is dead, then Ward, the secretary of state, must inherit Lincoln's legacy!

That's right, Lincoln's death was a stimulus for Ward, even though it was difficult for him to get money from the mouths of these people on Wall Street, but Ward still didn't give up, he still insisted on completing the plan he had made with Lincoln before, and he must keep New York!

However, now that some people have no money, and weapons are not easy to obtain, how can this be rectified?

Sward is not a stupid person, he didn't put all his hopes on Wall Street, these bastards have pit the United States once before, so naturally they have to be careful, and Sward's approach is that he has been divided into two ways very early, don't forget, Sward is the Secretary of State, and he is mainly responsible for diplomacy!

Yes, very early on, Sward contacted the British and French ministers in the United States, and the meaning he conveyed was very simple, that is, he hoped that France could help, and he hoped that Britain would ...... A little bit of help, but don't get too involved......

There is a difference, everyone knows, and Ward has to do this, no way, everyone knows, the British are really a thief to the land of America!

And the French, that are our old friends of the United States of America.

Therefore, whoever is in the position of Sward, if he wants to ask for help from the outside, he will naturally have to treat him differently, he must hope that the French can help more, and the British will also help, but don't want too much.

International relations are the exchange of interests, and the chips that Ward took out were naturally absolutely secret, and most people did not know about them, but they quickly got a response from Britain and France.

Yes, it was the very strong speech of Queen Victoria before, but the British didn't make any too specific moves. And the French are also very strong, Napoleon III of France said that he wants to organize an anti-American imperial alliance.

It is normal for this news to be transmitted to the United States, and it will take time to go back and forth, but Sward never expected that after a few months, the news came that France could not help!

Why? Why is that?

This time France is back with Lionard, the foreign minister, this guy explained very ambiguously, anyway, he just talked for a long time, but there was not even a little point.

Sward didn't understand at all, because this was so fucking weird!

You said that France sent a foreign minister, which shows that it attaches great importance to US-France relations, so isn't that very good, but why is this guy just talking about diplomatic rhetoric, is this wrong?

Why?

In fact, it is very simple, France is preparing to attack Germany, then this is the reason why France can't come to help, but this reason, Leonard can't say!

This is a military matter, a matter that affects the fate of a country, if it was before, then France could have said to the United States of America, let's join in the grand event, but now?

The United States are almost done with calves, can they do a? So let's just ......

If you want to say that the meaning of France is actually very clear, that is, we are busy and cannot help, but we attach importance to Franco-American relations, and we are still good friends, so our foreign minister, he is here in person, not an envoy stationed abroad.

However, can Sward understand this deep meaning of France?

Of course he couldn't understand it......

So what now?

There are two paths in front of Sword, one is to surrender directly, and all the plans made before will go to him. And the other way, that is to ask the British for help!

O British, those guys are not interested in the lords, these bastards are still peeping into the land of America, this ...... The most important thing is that there used to be a president named Monroe, but there was a Monroe Doctrine, but!

“…… Dear Earl Clarendon and Mr. Disraeli, if the British Empire can send troops to help us in the United States of America against the American Empire, then the United States will fulfill the following commitments to the British Empire in the future...... First, we will impose a minimum tariff of 5% on UK goods...... Second ......"

Right! Ward still has some chips in his hand, that is, he can write some checks, such as this tariff issue!

Now the British Empire is the world's factory, their goods are sold all over the world, they are indeed very good, this has to be admitted, and the United States has been implementing protective tariffs before, which greatly hinders the interests of Britain, and now, what if the protective tariffs are directly made into the lowest tariffs?

So, what will the British do with such interests? (To be continued......)
