Chapter 109: The American Fryer! The workers are in charge!
PS: The second chapter is sent! The third chapter has to be late.,Because this time it's really temporary.,The black car is really tired.,Ask for support! Thank you very much!
After the outbreak of the New York Revolution, it was naturally in full swing in several states and big cities near New York, but such a serious event soon became known to everyone in the Northern Union of the United States!
"This is treason! Absolute treason! We absolutely cannot tolerate Clint. Li, a Chinese, incited the vast number of poor people in New York to carry out this so-called revolution! This is a violation of the most sacred law of our country! This is trampling on the dignity of all our American people! …… These bastards are just a bunch of thugs! A bunch of robbers! They robbed the rich merchants and the honorable gentlemen in a frenzy! Such behavior must go to hell! ”
A comment on what happened in New York, commented so viciously that it was none other than the one who had previously been in Clint. William, who voiced justice when Lee was arrested. Russell!
Yes, it is the current big reporter of the "London Times", and his attitude has suddenly made a 180-degree turn.
The reason is actually very simple, that is, Li Mengyang just led the revolutionary team to raid his uncle's house, Samuel. Russell, the old guy, ran away from him first when he saw that he was in the limelight, he was about to fall into Li Mengyang's hands, hummed......
However, there are also people who have a more peaceful attitude, and this person is still a famous family.
"The reason for the ≤ of the New York workers' riots is not that a writer is imprisoned, but that the crisis we are experiencing in the United States is now. First, our economy is now in recession, and secondly. Even so. The country is still in the midst of a civil war. I simply can't understand it...... With such a difficult situation, the workers can no longer live, so how can they still work with peace of mind? ”
Henry. Adams, that Quincy. The grandson of President Adams, he is a well-educated man, he has been studying in Europe before, and he sees things that are relatively objective, and he belongs to that kind of thing. Anyway, it wasn't him who was bitten by mosquitoes, hey, yes, that's the mentality.
But don't say it, there are still people who are highly rated.
"The actions of the workers of New York are actually declaring war on slavery! They are acting in extreme ways from their own personal situation! But this behavior is because of slavery in the end! It was slavery, a system that God would condemn, that angered them and made them burst into rage like never before! ”
Such a high-profile one. The one who helped exonerate the workers in New York was the abolitionist radical. Frederick. Douglas!
It's not like this guy didn't have a role in what John Brown did at Hubs Ferry before, but however, this guy was afraid of being implicated, so after John Brown was arrested, he immediately ran to Canada and went there to avoid the limelight. Canada was actually a terminal for the emancipation of black slaves in the United States, and the previous movement was called the 'Underground Railroad', which was to steal black slaves from the south and send them to Canada by railroad.
He's in Canada, so if he wants to come back, he must pass through the states where the revolution is going on now, right? So, Frederick. That's what Douglas put it...... It's still very smart.
In addition, there were many literary figures, such as Thoreau and Emerson, who sang the praises of the New York Revolution.
Literati, sometimes that's the case, their discipline is limited.
The literati are like this, but many people know that this is not good, and these people are politicians......
"Gentlemen! We have to put aside our other work, our distrust of each other, and we have to be serious, good, and think about how we can fix what's going on in New York! ”
Mr. Lincoln, the President, convened the most urgent meeting, which was attended by the most powerful men in the present administration.
Secretary of State Ward, Secretary of the Treasury Chase, Secretary of War Cameron, Attorney General Betters, that's right, the four people who made a deal with Davis, the campaign manager, during the party primary.
These four people are actually the four people that Lincoln can rely on the most now, because everyone is really a grasshopper on a rope, but ......
"Mr. President, there's an obvious fact that one of our guys here is going to be a spy! Aren't you afraid of being betrayed? "As the secretary of state, Ward is naturally the first to speak, you know, the position of secretary of state is still very good in the current era, and he is the head of the secretaries of the United States, but it is not the official position in charge of diplomacy in the future.
And as for who Sward is talking about, ......
"At least I'm not a New Yorker." Chase is also not ambiguous, how can he not hear the thorns in Ward's words?
This sentence directly pulled Sward into the water, and New Yorkers are likely to help New Yorkers, if you want to talk about spies, you Sward is also very likely.
"You old salmon! ......" The implication is that Chase is slippery, and Ward is a conceited guy, how can he bear it?
"Oh, okay, okay, we won't have any spies here, absolutely not!" Of course, Lincoln couldn't let these two people fight, so how could this government set up a stage to sing?
If you want to say that Lincoln feels that he is really bitter now, you said that when he ran for president, he gave away all the important positions of big officials or something, you know, this is not a good move, because there is obviously a shortcoming, that is, it is very likely to empty himself, but Lincoln's background is too low, and his political capital is too small, so he has to act like this for the sake of the president's position.
"Humph!" Chase and Sward snorted coldly at the same time.
"But let's be honest." The Secretary of War over there, Cameron, interjected, "Mr. Chase, what's going on with your future son-in-law?" How did he suddenly become a revolutionary leader? ”
"You ask me, who do I ask? I'll just say a word to that bastard! I don't know anything, I really don't know anything! "Chase has not had a good time since his 'future son-in-law' came out of the limelight, but he has at least one thing to live in, and that is that he got Lincoln a lot of money.
"Well, I believe Mr. Chase in this kind of thing. I believe in all of you too! We need to unite now. Solve the problem at hand! New York thing. What to do? And, what exactly can we do? "Lincoln was a good man, that is, he knew that he would never let himself be in the minority, that is, he would always be on the side of the majority.
"Easy, let's call back!" Attorney General Best said it very lightly.
"How can it be that simple?" War Secretary Cameron disagreed, "We have to guard against the Yankees now, and the new 100,000 volunteers have not yet been fully assembled." The ones that can be used now are from the north, that is, the guys from New York and Massachusetts, should they all go back now? ”
That's right, there is a shortage of people, the key is that the previous defeat is already in suspense, if the southerners chased after it at that time, then the north would have lost this civil war.
"What then? If we don't care about New York now, we'll be in the back of the enemy soon! "Best wasn't convinced, he didn't want to be taken as a layman.
"......" Everyone was silent for a while, everyone knew it. If you don't care, you can't do it. And just a few states to the north for defense? New York and Boston have been beaten down, okay!
"I have a solution." The Minister of War spoke at this time, because he had almost waited, and if he didn't say anything more, it would be counterproductive, "Gentlemen, you may not know much about war, to be honest, I didn't understand it before. But that's okay, I know now. That is, the navy is very different from the army, and warships are not so easy to build, so ......"
"That's right!" Lincoln reacted immediately, "We can send the Navy first!" ”
"That's right!" Cameron smiled proudly, "The rebels in New York will definitely not have the power of the sea now, and the training of the navy is very complicated, so as long as we send one or two warships back, then even if we can't recapture New York, it will definitely have a restraining effect, the rebels are a group of rabble, constantly deterred by the artillery fire at sea, they will collapse." ”
Don't say it, it's Cameron's trick that's quite reliable.
The current American federation is in a relatively embarrassing state, that is, the north of the United States is actually very strong, at least this is an industrialized society, with a population of more than 20 million, but on the one hand, they are subject to the threat of the south, and on the other hand, there are big internal problems in the north.
It's like a giant, but now all he can move is his fingers, which is naturally powerless.
The federal government has already calculated that it will first send warships to harass it, and then send 100,000 troops to arrive, and then divide the troops to go back and sweep New York, so can such a plan succeed?
"Gentlemen! What we need now is to restore order! The city before it was restored, that's why we released you all, and I hope you can ......."
"We support the Revolution!"
"Swear to God! We support the Revolution to the death! ”
"We support the Revolution! Also support you Clint. Mr. Lee! ”
At this time, at the police headquarters in New York, Li Mengyang was holding a meeting with a group of officials who were still in prison, which was convenient.
Simply put, it is about the governance of the city, because a vigorous revolution has just been carried out, and the chaos in New York is like the west at this time, with robberies everywhere and murders everywhere, anyway, there is as much chaos as it wants!
Why is it so messy?
It's really simple, that is, no one knows what to do now!
Yes, that's the reason, it sounds silly, but it's true, because what the revolution is, in fact, no one says so clearly, and after the revolution, what kind of world it will become, no one knows, plus there are those who fish in troubled waters, so it's normal for such a situation to occur.
Li Mengyang now has to rely on the previous US officials, which is actually normal, but there are some things, then we have to change.
"The restoration of order is the restoration of order, but you must understand that the situation is different now, then we proletariat will have to make some changes to what exists, such as the factories, the factories of the capitalists will no longer be private, but owned by all the workers!" Li Mengyang's words are very powerful.
To be more specific, it is to set up workers' revolutionary committees, take over all public facilities and factories, and implement temporary workers' self-government!
"Huh?" The officials don't understand, and besides, the workers are self-governing, so what can these officials do?
"Mr. Clint! What are we going to do? ”
"yes, what are we going to do?"
was gossiping, but Li Mengyang smiled, "Didn't you support the Great Revolution?" You can join. ”
"...... "Is this really going to work?"
Isn't the combination of workers and officials too bizarre? What is Li Mengyang doing? (To be continued......)
