However, when the U.S. Senate was so full of grief and indignation that it brought out the California sale case and sent it to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs with their explanation of the mine incident, Zhang Quan regretfully told Sù Conger that the Chinese Congress thought that the price was too high, and that California was not worth 300 million Chinese dollars, but at most 200 million yuan.

"The vast majority of California is a worthless wasteland and high mountains and dense forests, and the only thing that can bring benefits to China is oil, but the oil fields are in the hands of your businessmen, and in this case it is obvious that 300 million Chinese dollars is extremely unreasonable, at most 200 million Chinese dollars, as for your country's explanation of the torpedo incident, it is difficult to be convincing, and the anchor mines outside the San Diego Military Port fell off and drifted into the open sea, which is too unbelievable, right?" Zhang Quan said arrogantly with his throat raised.

Nima, how unbelievable it is to be compared to an armored cruiser that has been hit by two mines and is still unscathed? Conger said in his heart, of course, he also knew that this was the revenge of the Chinese for the last time the Senate made a meme, in this case he was not interested in mixing in, transfer this new offer back to the country, let the senators have a headache!

The US Senate is also very depressed about the new price offered by the Chinese, if the previous 300 million Chinese dollars is still reluctant, then the current 200 million Chinese dollars are bullying, but they also know that they are taking the blame for themselves, and they should not have listened to the demagoguery of the British in the first place, and now they can really lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot.

Of course, even if it is a bully, they dare not refuse this number, at this time the huge fleet of the coalition forces has been dispersed to the major ports on the east coast, once the United States refuses again, the next shell will definitely hit the head again, there is no reason to talk in the face of power, bullying you belongs to giving you face, and if you don't have face, you can only wait to be beaten.

After a difficult meeting, the U.S. Senate pinched its nose and agreed to the price, followed by the signing of the agreement in Washington. With the signing of this agreement, the Californian Republican Army, which had been vigorously vigorous, disappeared in an instant, and more than 100,000 troops went back to their homes to find their own mothers. With the signing of this agreement, most of the American immigrants in California, who were already small, left their homes in a hurry, although they were reluctant. As for the US troops originally in California, they will cross the Rocky Mountains into Nevada by train in batches, and their naval fleet will return to the Atlantic Ocean under the escort of the Chinese Navy, and the US Pacific Fleet will come to an end forever.

While they still have Portland and Seattle ports where they can dock warships, it is clear that it makes no sense to continue to maintain a naval fleet in the Pacific, and it is highly unwise. The dog lying next to a tiger still wants to share the delicious food with the tiger, but the only way to kill himself is the Americans, and the Americans know this very well. He simply canceled the establishment of the Pacific Fleet, and then left a group of torpedo boats in Portland and Seattle to talk to himself, and used this humiliating choice to tell Emperor Sù Yang that they had completely withdrawn from the battle for hegemony in the Pacific.

"Immigration. With at least five million immigrants to California in the next 10 years, you need to understand what China's advantage is in the world. It's not the army, it's not the industry, it's the population, we have 400 million people, a quarter of the world's population, but do we have a quarter of the land? No, far from it, so our country is still very crowded, we have to emigrate out, on a large scale, and my goal is to keep only 300 million people in the country, and the rest of the people will go out, so that wherever our army fights, our immigrants will follow.

Especially those poor and remote areas with few land and many people, and the economy is underdeveloped, don't let them always keep their barren mountains and mountains, encourage them to go out and go to our new territory, where there is a chance to make a fortune, especially California, or we should change its name, isn't it still called Golden State? Just change it to Golden State Province, this name makes people drool when it sounds, you might as well make up it when promoting, even if it is said that there is gold everywhere, all those who are willing to go there will be sent for free, and those who are willing to stay there will be an additional reward, free farm tools, the land in California is the most suitable for planting, and domestic textile merchants have not been shouting about the lack of raw materials? You can grow as much cotton there as you want. ”

Yang Feng to his cabinet ministers, ambitiously announced his immigration plan, five million immigrants are not many, California or now China's Golden State Province, in the modern population of more than 40 million, is also the most important agricultural area in the United States, feeding five million people is easy, these five million immigrants in the past to take root, it is equivalent to tearing a hole in the North American continent, the future flood of Chinese will gradually flood this continent.

"For these Chinese who emigrated abroad, we must encourage them to have children, and the state will subsidize them if they have children, and the more they have children, the more subsidies they will have, and they must understand that fertility is also a weapon, and it is also an extremely powerful weapon, but they are not encouraged to intermarry with foreigners, of course, we can't prohibit this kind of thing, and it is okay to have children without subsidies for intermarriage with foreigners.

At the same time, these immigrants to the new territory, to cultivate their martial spirit, every adult, including women, must undergo military training, the state gives them weapons and ammunition for free, improve the militia organization, do not give them too many constraints, and even appropriately encourage them to use bullets to expand their own interests, if there is something for them, even if we ignore it, we must give them a head, what the army does, isn't it this! What traditional virtues of the Chinese let them throw aside, what we need is aggressiveness.

Of course, you can't do this internally, the Chinese who have emigrated must be meticulous in accordance with the law, and there is only one disposition for their compatriots to shoot each other, shooting!

In addition, a large number of troops are stationed in Golden State Province, the San Francisco Military Region is established, at least five divisions of the army must be stationed, and if the strength is insufficient, the army can be expanded, and the navy can set up the Eastern Pacific Fleet, and the Wuyi and Tianshan can stay there, and after the end of the Mexican-American War, the two princess-class ships leased by the Mexicans will also join this fleet, and there are also steel mills and shipyards in San Francisco? Get it, if the American boss doesn't sell it, he will get it, and the means can allow Situ Meitang and them to play freely, and then build warships there. ”

The San Francisco Union Steel Shipyard was actually bankrupt at this time, and the shipyard, which could have built battleships, not only suffered heavy losses in the last war, coupled with the loss of a large number of workers, but also could not be maintained without orders from the United States Navy, and had been abandoned since the end of the war, and there was no need to use any special means to take over.

As for the clouds of war on the west coast of the Atlantic, the clouds of war on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean had long since disappeared with the signing of the Sino-American Washington Agreement, the Confederate and Spanish armies were lifted from the state of war, and the fleets of the Four-Power Coalition returned to their respective military ports.

As for the Chinese getting California, this point is not much touched by other countries except for the loss of the British and the lamentation of the French, in fact, in the last war, China actually did not directly occupy California in the end, which is already very surprising, and it is reasonable to take it now.

As for the peace talks between the United States and Mexico, there were no big twists and turns, and the United States, eager to get rid of the war, had no intention of continuing to entangle itself on the New Mexico issue, which was of little value, and after the Mexicans gave up their demands for Nevada and war reparations, the two sides finally signed a peace treaty, and the United States exchanged Arizona and New Mexico for the peace they dreamed of.

Almost at the same time as this peace treaty, there was also the Sino-US Friendship Treaty, as the Americans expected, in this treaty, Emperor Yang reaffirmed his friendship with the United States in writing, although the vast majority of them were high-sounding empty words, but at least gave the Americans enough psychological comfort, and even at the same time the Chinese government also sent an invitation to US President Brian, inviting him to visit China at an appropriate time, and at the same time preparing to carry out a series of friendly exchange activities, For example, the Royal Performing Arts Troupe in Europe is performing in the United States.

This treaty of friendship opened up the skies of North America, and countless Americans listened with excitement to the affectionate voice of Emperor Yang on the radio, and had infinite hopes for the future of the United States, and even spontaneous fireworks celebrations appeared in many cities to celebrate the beginning of a new era.

But at this time, the whole world also knew what the cause of this war was.

That's because Gulf Oil and Louisiana Oil have jointly announced that they will jointly invest in an onshore pipeline from Shreveport, Louisiana, to Los Angeles.

"The 2,500-kilometer-long, one-meter-diameter mega oil pipeline, with the help of numerous pumping stations along the way, will transport crude oil from the East Texas and Shreveport oil fields to the Port of Los Angeles, where it will be loaded onto tankers bound for Asia and become the driving force of Chinese industry."

At the press conference, the general manager of Gulf Oil Company said reservedly. (To be continued......)
