When Luo Fenglu's words fell, Frederick's brows couldn't help but jump, the Mississippi River is the largest river in North America, and it flows through the Great Plains, with a small drop and obvious shipping advantages, no matter which country it is, it will not give up easily.

But now the Chinese river fleet blocked the entire river, and a large number of fortifications built along the river were enough to cut off the entire Mississippi River. Therefore, the current Mississippi River is completely controlled by the Chinese People's Army. On the other hand, the United States has no armed forces on the most important river in North America.

Coupled with the weakness of the navy, even if he has the heart to win the necessary benefits for the United States. But without the support of the armed forces, it is too difficult to take back half of the Mississippi River at the negotiating table.

"Yes!" Frederick could feel the pain in his heart. He knew that as long as he agreed today, there would be little chance of getting this important waterway back in the future.

After listening, Luo Fenglu and Huo Shi glanced at each other, and they invariably saw joy in each other's eyes. Although the terms of negotiation have been negotiated in private, after all, in private, only when the agreement is actually signed at the negotiating table and converted into words will it truly become binding.

"And, Secretary Frederick, we want the returning Congress to repeal the discriminatory Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. And stop persecuting the Chinese and respect the status of the Chinese in the United States. ”

Hearing this, Frederick quickly nodded. Compared with the previous articles, these conditions do not require any material or economic cost, and can be easily accomplished with just some legislative changes.

In addition, we also hope that you can open the border to ensure normal economic and trade between the two sides!"

After listening, Luo Fenglu nodded. Most of the land on the west bank of the Mississippi River is barren, and Huo Jiajun needs to spend a lot of effort to build, so the materials needed are massive. If it is transported from Nanyang alone, one is that the output is not necessarily enough, after all, Nanyang also needs to be developed, and the other is that the distance is too far and the cost is too high. Therefore, I want to think that steel and cement cannot be provided in my North American territory. Then sourcing from the United States becomes an inevitable choice.

Therefore, there must be a lot of economic exchanges between the two sides, and such conditions also compound the interests of Huo Jiajun.

Of course, this may speed up the recovery of the American economy, but in the same way, Huo Jiajun's American territory will also develop rapidly, and only a developed American territory can consolidate the foundation of Huo Jiajun's rule here.

"There can be no problem, the Chinese People's Army is an open country, and we hope to carry out economic exchanges and common development with any country in the world!" Luo Fenglu said in a calm but confident voice.

Subsequently, the two sides discussed some details of the treaty. For example, the specific demarcation of the border between the two sides, the demarcation of the waters of Lake Superior. The treaty ports opened by the two sides, etc., a total of 26 paragraphs, were discussed one by one, and finally a treaty was written.

Then, as negotiators between China and the United States, Luo Fenglu and Frederick signed in turn, and finally the treaty was placed in front of Henry Campbell Bannerman.

Looking at the treaty in front of him, the chagrin and anger in Bannerman's heart can only be imagined, as the dignified British Empire's Minister of State for Irish Affairs and Deputy Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, this time on behalf of Britain as a third party to participate in the Sino-US negotiations, he was actually played by the two sides together.

Although the content of the treaty is not much different from the bottom line planned by Britain for this Sino-US negotiation, this kind of feeling that he should have been the protagonist, but now he is barely even playing a supporting role, really makes him extremely embarrassed and angry. Looking at the mocking looks in the eyes of the ministers of France, Germany, Italy and other countries who could only observe this peace negotiation, Bannerman felt that his face was hot!

But even if he was reluctant in his heart, he knew that it was too late at the moment. When the two parties had already reached an agreement, the overall situation of North America for the next 20 years had been decided, and no matter how strong Britain was, it would be impossible for Britain to allow two countries that had already ended the war and signed a peace agreement to fight again.

"If I had known this was the case, I should have taken the initiative!" With such regret, Henry Campbell Banneman signed his name to the treaty.

Looking at the treaty in their hands, Luo Fenglu and Huo Shi invariably showed emotion on their faces, the war had been fought for three years, thousands of miles of blood, and millions of corpses had finally come to a perfect end today.

Although the treaty still needs to be signed and sealed by the heads of government of both sides, it is only a process, and basically the content of the treaty can no longer be changed.

"Bang!"

As a handful of white smoke rises, the camera next to it faithfully records this historical scene.

On July 15, 1885, after 22 days of repeated consultations, China and the United States reached armistice negotiations and signed a peace agreement in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

The document of the "Sino-American Chicago Peace Treaty", also known as the "Chicago Treaty", will forever be remembered in history, and at this moment, history has completely gone to an unpredictable fork in the road because of the change of Huoshan, and the United States, which has lost more than 5 million square kilometers of land on the Mississippi River, has also forever lost the foundation for becoming the first power.

At the same time, with the signing of this paper treaty, from May 24, 1882, when the two sides officially declared war, to July 15, 1882, the Sino-American war, which had been fought for three years and 52 days, finally ended.

Although the three-year war has left a devastation and the economic achievements of the United States for 50 years have been destroyed, after all, the war has ended, and the two sides will usher in a rare period of development.

And the Huojia Military Administration Yuan also began to start a new discussion around the construction of the American territory.

"Wow wow......!" patting Helen's back gently, watching her spit out what she had just eaten again, Huo Shan was in a hurry.

More than two months pregnant, Helen's pregnancy reaction was very severe and she couldn't smell any oily smell.

"Mother Wu, Helen, are she okay, why are you throwing up so much?"

Wu's mother is the servant Wang Zhong found after knowing that Helen was pregnant, and it is said that she is already the mother of nine children just after forty. I have a lot of experience in pregnancy.

"Young master, don't worry! A woman vomits when she is two or three months pregnant, and if she vomits badly, it means that Madame is pregnant with a boy!

"Is it? That's borrowing your auspicious words!" Although Huo Shan is from the twenty-first century, he doesn't care too much about the issue of having boys and girls, but after coming to this era, he is inevitably affected by the surrounding environment, especially in the back, there is an old mother who is always looking forward to him passing on the lineage to the old Huo family, so at this moment, Huo Shan also hopes that Helen can give birth to a son this time.

"Helen, how are you?" Looking at the girl's pale face, Huo Shan asked very distressedly.

"It's okay, I just feel a little tired!"

"Okay, I'll help you back to your room to rest!" But as soon as Huo Shan finished speaking, before he could turn around, he saw Huo Feng running in strode in with a happy face outside.

"Young Master......!!"

Looking at the embarrassed look on Huo Shan's face, Helen said softly: "You go quickly, it's important to be big, and when you're done, come back to accompany me!"

After more than a month, although Huo Shan never told Helen of his identity, the smart girl still understood the extraordinaryness of her lover from the soldiers standing guard around her and the endless stream of people who came to visit Huo Shan.

"Okay, I'll be back with you when I'm done...... Mother Wu, you send Mrs. back to the room!"

"Yes, young master!"

After the two of them walked in the door, Huo Shan turned around, met Huo Feng and asked, "What makes you so happy? Could it be that the armistice treaty with the Americans has been signed?"

"Young Master really expected things to happen, at 11:28 this morning, the "Sino-US Armistice Treaty" was signed in Chicago!" As he spoke, Huo Feng looked happy and took out the wireless telegraph he had just received from the Americas from the folder he was carrying.

"Okay, great! After three years of fighting, my merits are finally completed today!" Looking at the contents of the treaty, Huo Shan's heart was surging violently like a tidal tide at this moment.

Compared with the joy of the rest of the Huo family's army in obtaining a large amount of land, Huo Shan knew that at this moment, he had finally suppressed the world's largest country in the future. Next, as long as Huo Jiajun does not make mistakes, then they will become the hegemon in the Pacific Ocean, and gradually grow into the world's largest power along the trajectory of history.

Tightly grasping the thin telegram in his hand, Huo Shan knew that he had made the Chinese nation, but China's ideal of returning to the top of the world, finally sold a big step forward, which was of far-reaching significance!

After the two were happy for a while, Huo Feng took out a telegram again and handed it to Huo Shan.

"Young master, this is a telegram from the 5th Marine Division, which occupied the whole of Liberia on July 13, 1885!"

Huo Shan was not surprised by this telegram, Liberia has a population of less than one million, and the army does not even have 20,000, and the equipment is backward, the military discipline is lax, and there is no strategy or tactics to speak of, and the use of nearly 20,000 people, and the fully armed Fifth Marine Division to deal with them is simply a killing chicken with a knife, and it is not effortless at all.

"Well, let's do a good job, let the Fifth Division be temporarily stationed in Liberia, and let Yang Yonglin's American Fleet send two warships to guard the coastline of Liberia. ”

"I see, young master!"

"Oh, that's right! And notify the Government Council and ask them to send competent officials to Liberia to arrest the government affairs there! There are two main points: First, cooperate with the fleet sent by the Huo family to move the black people to the plantation of the Huo family in South America. The second is to accept migrants who have been transferred from within the country and make arrangements for their lives. (To be continued.) )
