Chapter 262: Going to the Appointment

"Hahaha, Your Excellency President, your plan is really perfect!"

Secretary of State, William Henry Seward, who personally ran the Wellint concentration camp (I'm going to vomit, how can the Yankees in this era be called William and Henry!!) Flatteringly handed Lincoln a cup of coffee:

"Several consortia have already revealed their intention to take over the East Shoshone reservation, and this harvest will definitely silence the chattering drunkard!"

The drunkard in Seward's mouth is naturally Lincoln's strategic ally when he ran for president, and Democrat President Johnson, who was later hailed as the worst president in American history.

It was a madman who could get drunk at his own inauguration, and Lincoln was a personable gentleman compared to him.

Running with someone like that is a compromise, of course, and the relationship between the president and vice president is now very deadlocked.

"Don't mention that unhappy person, let's talk about something interesting, do you guess how the so-called Emperor Daiming will deal with this matter?"

As the son of Orion, Lincoln spent his life on the Ohio River until he was 25 years old, and later relied on street politics to become a lawyer.

If he could, he would prefer to have flowing hair, eat delicious well-cooked steaks, and wear the largest size suit without buttoning up, as he did when he was a boatman.

But for the sake of a damn public image, Lincoln had to put away those profligate wreckage, after all, what president of the United States could do as he pleased?

The secretary of state was absolutely his own man, and in his presence, Lincoln appeared very relaxed.

He drank his coffee, couldn't help but put his leather shoes on the table, and the smug expression on his face was overflowing: "William, I can bet with you with all my shares on the New York Stock Exchange, that timid and cowardly Emperor Daiming will definitely refuse with trembling!" ”

"Of course, my Mr. President, how can those cowardly barbarians have chivalric courage?"

Seward laughed, "However, I guess they may trade the previous white captives, Mr. President, this is a troublesome matter, the Oimin mob has captured many cities, and they may have a lot of captives in their hands." ”

"It's okay, they can change it if they want to!"

Lincoln smiled and took a sip of his coffee, saying, "This is the story of the great Lincoln administration once again rescuing the citizens of Milicon at any cost, which is wonderful, like the 50 seats in the House of Representatives, isn't it?" ”

Seward pretended to be suddenly enlightened and boasted: "It is worthy of Mr. President, what a foresight!" ”

"Hehe, this is just the teaching of the father of the nation!"

Lincoln waved his hand and said disapprehantly, "And what can we lose?" It's just more than 20,000 English-speaking, suit-wearing savages.

And what do you get? That's 3 million square miles of unowned land!

You know, those jungle swamps are very difficult to develop, but as a hub for shipping on the Mississippi River, the value is becoming more and more prominent, and we will definitely be able to sell them for a good price! ”

The East Shoshoshone reservation has been coveted by the federal government for a long time.

When St. Louisiana was hastily bought from the French, the area was so underdeveloped that it had to make a damn pact with the East Shoshone in order to maintain order.

Now, as the white population expands into the Central Plains, the land across the Mississippi River is valuable.

"Mr. President, we must also be careful that those despicable barbarians sneak up on strongholds in Nebraska and other places to retaliate!" Seward suggested another possibility.

"Rest assured, Millican is a free country, and everyone has the right to move freely.

Since they have chosen to settle there, it is their freedom, and we in the federal government do not need to worry too much about it......

After all, this is life! ”

Lincoln and Seward looked at each other, and both smiled knowingly.

Bang Bang Bang!

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the president's office.

"Please come in!"

Lincoln hurriedly put away his long bamboo legs, straightened his shirt, and returned to his gentlemanly demeanor.

An urgent telegram was sent in.

"This !?"

Lincoln looked surprised, and the dentures in his mouth were loosened and unaware of it.

"Mr. President, what happened?" Seward hurriedly asked.

"See for yourself, William......"

Receiving the urgent telegram from Lincoln's hand, Seward quickly read it at a glance and ten lines, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"This ...... The rich emperor with Ming agreed? ”

Seward rubbed his eyes and said incredulously, "Does he really think that we dare not send him to the gallows?" ”

Because he didn't expect Emperor Daiming to agree, the White House did not have a relevant follow-up plan.

But this kind of thing is familiar to everyone.

Four years ago, how the innocent 38 Indian chiefs were brought to the gallows after a swift trial of 10 minutes is still vivid!

This guy named Zhu Fugui has a neck that is not particularly hard, as long as it is handled as usual.

"Hehe, stupid yellow-skinned monkey!"

Lincoln shook his head and said, "Do you remember the governor of the Qing Kingdom named Ye Mingchen?" There are also the Japanese who came to apologize before...... These yellow-skinned monkeys are indeed innocent and cute sometimes! ”

"You're ...... right"

"I heard that a few years ago, the British and French sailed their warships into the Yellow Sea, and the Russians lied to the Tatar emperor that the Anglo-French troops would land in the Sea of Japan, and then the Tatars gave all the coastal lands in the northeast to the Russians......

wanted to rely on the Russians to block the British and French landings...... What a stupid guy......

But speaking of which...... Mr. President, how are we talking to the Russians about that? ”

Lincoln was stunned at first, and then immediately burst out laughing.

"Haha, no wonder as the saying goes, if you split a Russian, there is a Tatar hidden inside.

These stupid Eastern Slavs seem to have really been skewered by Genghis Khan......

You can rest assured, Alaska can't get away, and I believe the federal government will soon be able to get those 1.7 million square kilometers of land for millions of dollars.

Well, of course, we will help them resist the British and French according to the agreement......

Hahaha, that's so funny! ”

Saying a promise that he didn't even believe, Lincoln burst into tears with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Whether it is the Russian Tsar, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, or this Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, why are they so naΓ―ve?

What other monarch in the world today could be as wise as I, Abraham Lincoln?

"Inner ......"

Seward's weak voice interrupted Lincoln's self-appreciation, "Your Excellency, speak...... Previous bets...... Your stock account ......"

"Oh, that's what you say!"

Lincoln shook his head disappreciatively, "William, don't you think I'm a man of broken promises?" ”

"Huh? Mr. President, I'm just kidding, are you, are you, really going to make good on your bet? ”

"Haha, don't worry, William, I'll give it to you in a while."

Lincoln reached out and patted his henchman, and the terrible incident of more than a year ago flashed in his mind, "William, it's not me bragging, my stock account, I used to have so much money......

Lincoln stretched out his arms and gestured with his hand, "But now...... It's just enough to buy you a top hat! ”

Thinking of the stock market volatility caused by Robert King Jr.'s draw with Stonewall Jackson at that time, Lincoln was still scared for a while.

If you don't stop your losses in time and pull most of your money out of the stock market, then you may be completely bankrupt.

Speaking of stocks......

Lincoln's eyes lit up.

This time, it may be time for my Abraham Lin Stockgod Ken to be reborn from the ashes!
