Chapter 54: Make big news

"Yes, General Crick was also killed. But ......"

"What, there's something hidden?" Stephen Carney asked casually. Crick's death is not unexpected, as a battlefield commander, even Fremont is dead, there is no reason why he can still be alive.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"There is an unconfirmed ......"

"Say! Don't spit it out! ”

"That's right, it is said that a powerful vampire appeared in Livingston Barracks, and General Crick died at the hands of a vampire." The officer said with his head bowed.

There are so many unexpected things in this war, which is why he keeps his head down. It's ridiculous everywhere, but even something as ridiculous as Fremont is dead can happen, and it doesn't seem unacceptable that a vampire appears.

Carney's eyes widened as he stared at the officer.

"Raise your head!"

The officer hesitated for a moment, then looked up.

"What is the truth? If you dare to talk about vampires again, I'll let you go back to Springfield Country and feed the horses for the rest of your life! Carney snapped.

On the question of whether there are vampires in this world, Carney feels that it is a waste to spend any extra effort.

He also has no intention of getting involved in this inexplicable controversy, who loves to believe and who believes, anyway, he doesn't believe it.

"The truth of the matter is ......", the officer's gaze was still a little evasive, but Carney was like a lion hunting for food, even if he looked away, he could still feel a strong coercion, so he had to continue.

“…… A small group of officers of the Northern Oregon Regiment, led by Captain Graeme, had not known where they had heard the rumor that human blood was the panacea for eternal youth, so they set up a secret prison underground in Livingston to provide them with fresh blood drinks. Unfortunately, Colonel Crick was imprisoned by Governor Fremont for colluding with the Indians and selling arms privately, and happened to be in this prison......"

The officer finished the whole story in one go, apparently mentally typing out the draft many times.

This kind of thing can be big or small.

To put it mildly, both Graeme and Fremont are dead, and the big thing should end here.

But if you talk about it bigger, even this officer who doesn't care much about politics knows that this matter really has to be used, and the weight is not light-

Stephen Carney frowned at first, but as Officer Robert gradually finished telling the story, his brow raised higher and higher, his eyes widened and widened, and by the end, it was like two blazing gas lamps.

There was silence in the room, but Robert could clearly hear the gas lamps burning in beep waves, the flames tearing at the cold air, greedily searching for anything to burn.

"Ha, this is the Whigs!"

Stephen Carney suddenly said loudly.

He is a burly man, and at the age of 62 he does not show signs of aging, and his old and strong state is vividly reflected in him.

He waved his arms and shouted to the officer who had just finished telling the story, "I said long ago that these Whigs are unreliable!" ”

"You see, they are so ignorant! I even believe that blood can keep them young forever! This is all a civilized society, and they still believe this! ”

"Oh my God! In the light of the Lord, there are such stupid and disgusting fellows! They're all a bunch of disgusting guys, a bunch! Not one, it's a group! Just as flies are always swarming, the Whigs are all bad, from top to bottom! ”

"It's hard to imagine that such a disgusting group of people would want to take control of the House? Still want to be in the White House? ”

"Foolishness! It's just stupid! ”

"Where is military discipline? Where is the law of the land? Does the Federation still have face? If the founding fathers knew such a thing, I am afraid that they would be so angry that they would climb out of the tombstone! ”

"How can the people rest assured that the country will be in the hands of such a stupid and filthy bunch of people?"

Old Carney spat and took every step towards the poor officer, forcing him to retreat until he reached the window.

A gust of wind blew out the candles through the cracks in the window.

Another flash of white lightning flashed, and the officer saw Colonel Carney's face flushed strangely.

Obviously, this old general, who was used as a footcloth, discovered something remarkable from this incident.

President Polk of the Democratic Party is in a deep fight with the Whigs, and he will surely thank Carney Sr. for his divine assistance.

The officer suddenly remembered something that I don't know who had said: 'If something you think is likely to be good or bad, then it will basically go bad!' ’

- Well, Officer Robert doesn't know if it's going for better or worse. But this sentence can also be put in another way, 'If you think that someone else is likely to make a big deal or make a big fuss, then basically, the thing will be done as big as you can!'" ’

The officer's original fear was that Colonel Carney would not relentlessly send Fremont, a dead man, to court-martial, which would be too ugly and a rather huge blow to the reputation of the Union Army.

But he still underestimated the ability of an old general who was about to come to the end of his life to do things.

Old Carney directly buckled a huge basin directly to the head of the Whigs!

Although this was only Stephen Carney's bedroom, and there were only two people in the room, the officer knew that Old Carney's passionate speech was definitely not aimed at himself - Old Carney was just too excited to help but say what was in his heart.

He could imagine what Carney Sr. was going to do next.

It's all routines, it's not new!

……

"Robert, request support from the War Department immediately!"

"The Indians of Dakota and Oregon are much stronger than we had anticipated, their armies have doubled in size, they are professionally trained and well-equipped, and there is no guarantee that my team will be able to annihilate them at this time. We need more soldiers, more weapons, more money, and longer! ”

"This is all a good thing that Fremont did, not only did he not take back Oregon and California for the Union, but he cultivated a formidable opponent for us!"

Over the years, the Whigs have also used him as a banner for pioneering progress! It's a shame! This is how national affairs are delayed by them! ”

……

"The body of Colonel Crick, a brave soldier and an example of a benevolent and righteous American, must be transported to Washington as soon as possible, and in whom we see unquestionably the splendor of holiness. His death is a huge loss to the Union Army, and I will write to President Polk asking for his commendation! ”

"Also, through our intelligence line at Fort Laramie, and getting in touch with White Rock City, I hope to send someone to visit the rest of the survivors in the prison - they are so pitiful! Even though we are at war with the Indians, these people are innocent! ”

"Out of a spirit of humanitarianism and respect for the supremacy of life and morality, I hope that Ikaruga will release these poor people and let them return to their hometowns and reunite with their loved ones – what is the closest newspaper here? Oh, Kansas News, hell, it's a Whig newspaper, we're going to have to find an objective and neutral newspaper......"

Stephen Carney chattered and waved his stout arms as he walked around the dark room, as brave as a Spartan warrior who had heard the call to the charge.
