"In addition to the nickname, the Union Army on the Western Front was defeated at Chattanooga, and the commander, William Tecusay, Sherman, fled back on his own, and President Lincoln pointed out that the Democrats were responsible for the rout on the Western Front!"

"In addition to the nickname, the Appalachian Mountain Black Paladins ransacked more than a dozen farms in Cleveland in a row, and the local sheriff described it as the Black Bigfoot of Lake Erie, and the Ohio National Guard expressed its suspension of support for Washington and made every effort to eliminate the state's Negro slave rebellion!"

"In addition to the nickname, the Indian tribes first took Seattle and then occupied Portland, and the barbarians launched a major invasion of the civilized world, and the California state government and former President Buchanan successively called on the North and the South to bridge their differences and jointly defend human civilization!"

……

Looking at the few newspapers on the table, Lincoln was in a very bad mood.

I am not the king of the dead country, the ministers are the ministers of the dead country!

That Sherman is also an honor student at West Point and a veteran in the army, so he actually plays me!

Lincoln couldn't help but miss his favorite confidant, Robert King Jr.

It's a pity that he was entangled by blacks.

To tell the truth, the combat effectiveness of the so-called "Black Paladin" exceeded Lincoln's expectations.

Originally, he thought that even if these blacks had undergone a period of military training and had weapons, they were just a rabble.

But who would have thought that this group of blacks would have been fighting with Brigadier General Robert King Jr., a federal hero, for half a year, and they still haven't been exterminated, and they even have the energy to go to Ohio to rob cows!

You know, Robert King Jr. is the man who can play with Stonewall Jackson!

It's about the same as saying that these blacks are at odds with the elite of the South!

It's horrible!

Robert King Jr. himself has written several times saying that these blacks are very cunning and have firm convictions, and they must not withdraw to the southern battlefield.

Lincoln also agreed with Ai Jiang's statement.

Come to think of it, these blacks appear in the hinterland of the Federation, and although it doesn't hurt much, they are extremely insulting!

It is said that the guy who claimed to be the son of Jesus founded the North American branch of the Worship of God Church, and all day long preached falsified heresies and slandered Moses as a black Egyptian sacrifice.

This is an affront to the whole Christian world!

And what's going on with the Indians?

How could those moving people break through a civilized city-state of tens of thousands of people?

Lincoln banged on the table with his dentures, while Assistant Secretary of State Milton Hayjohn was sorting through the paperwork.

Although there is no perfect intelligence system in later generations, the White House at this time still provides the president with as timely references as possible every once in a while.

"Mr. President, from the information currently available, this group of Indians is completely different from the Indians we have come into contact with before. According to the report of Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman of the Oregon National Guard, this is a group of highly trained professional soldiers with a powerful cannon with a range of up to 2000 feet, as well as a wacky machine that can hover in mid-air! ”

“Fakeinformation！”

Lincoln put the dentures back in his mouth and shook his head!

"I have the impression that this Hoffman was reported to the California Assembly that a federal Navy gunboat appeared on the River River in Colombia?"

"What nonsense this guy is, how could a gunboat of the Union Navy appear on the West Coast and help the Indians fight? Now it's even more nonsense about 2,000 miles of artillery and flying machines, how can West Point teach such idiots? ”

"This ......"

John Hay hesitated for a moment, then handed Lincoln a document, a document signed by several National Guard militiamen, who unanimously swore that they had been attacked from the sky.

Crucially, in this profile, there is also a photo taken by a local photographer in Portland!

In the photo, being able to see that there are indeed several unusual black spots in the sky.

"That's it?"

Lincoln shook his head and said, "Even if you tell me that this is a group of bald eagles, I won't doubt that such a blurry photo is a group of bald eagles. I rather doubt that it was the British of Canada, and not some Indian native! ”

John Hymers spread his hands and said, "Oregon intelligence said that due to the enemy's heavy firepower, they couldn't recognize each other's appearance at close range, but some previous intelligence from Seattle showed that these people who called themselves 'Belt Mingning' looked more like Asian......"

"Asian?"

Confused by such complex information, Lincoln fell into a brief contemplation, "Because of the miraculous results of Willie's acupuncture and electrotherapy, I have taken time to study the history of oriental inventions for a while...... I've heard that their ancestors claimed that their ancestors had invented self-walking cows and horses, as well as flying mechanisms...... It seems to be called a 'Kong Ming lantern' or a 'bamboo dragonfly'? ”

"I beg your pardon, my President, I know nothing about the history of the East, but according to the information received by the British and French, both the Chinese and the Japanese are just a bunch of beggars living in the Middle Ages, and the brilliance of science and democracy does not shine on them at all."

"At least their medicine is very good, the latest news from New York Medical School, Willie can already sing tenor!"

"Uh...... Yes, Mr. President, Professor Porter is an outstanding doctor......"

"Okay, okay, I think we've fallen into a misunderstanding."

Lincoln rubbed his face and continued, "What matters now is not what 'Obimei' is, but what we should do with it, whether we should use the Union Army!" ”

"No, Mr. President, I don't recommend it!"

John Hymer shook his head again and again, and said, "The war budget approved by Congress has long been exceeded, and the bankers on Wall Street will never agree to invest money in such a place, and the most important thing is that we must reorganize the army to make up for the losses caused by His Excellency Upper Hillman." ”

Lincoln nodded, "You're right, any money spent west of the Mississippi River is unforgivable...... What about the rights and interests that were previously promised to the railway company? ”

"It's easy to do."

John Hymers spread his hands and said, "We can use the standard process. ”

"Stage 1: We declare that nothing is happening, Stage 2: We say maybe something is happening, but we shouldn't act, Stage 3: Maybe we should take action but nothing can be done, Stage 4: Maybe we could have done something, but it's too late now......"

Lincoln sighed: "Well, I hope my old friend Vanderbilt understands all this!" ”

……

At this point in time, Lincoln's choice to ignore the rebellion in the western region was predictable, which was related to the basic interests of the Republican Party.

Unlike later generations, when the Republican Party's vote base was mostly in the southern Red Neck Province and the Democratic Party's vote base was mostly in the northern metropolis, the two parties' basic bases are completely opposite today.

As the first president in Republican history, Lincoln represented the voice of Northern capitalists and factory owners.

It is their core interest to crush the plantations of the South and liberate their labor force and transform it into industrial workers.

On the contrary, the Democratic Party's base today is the big farmers in the South.

Democrats, including former President Buchanan, were either supporters of the Southern states or sympathizers of the Southern states, and overtly or implicitly stumbling over the Lincoln administration.

Fortunately, the war against the separatist forces in the South was authorized by Congress long ago, and now Lincoln, as president, is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and has absolute power.
