Chapter 161: Good Indians
For Sherman, didn't he know that what he did would have a huge impact on the credibility of the federal government of America?
No, he knows.
However, he doesn't care!
The establishment of the Commonwealth of America was an accident, a group of smugglers, slave traders, criminals, etc., who were entangled together and had to join a group for warmth because of a powerful common enemy, Britain.
To expect the robbers to cherish this group is a joke!
No organization can form a cohesive force without going through several tests of life and death, and the trade-offs between right and wrong. There are no natural patriots in the world, not even God is born believers!
Over the next two hundred years, the United States did everything it could to increase cohesion, cultivate pride, and fight for the common good in a country that was born distraught, with each president going to war, one after the other......
John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, said a phrase in his inaugural speech, which later became a well-known quote and was admired by many banana people who did not know the truth: "Don't ask what the state can do for you, you should ask yourself what you can do for the country!" This sentence became a model for the American people to love America!
But what many people don't know is that this sentence is followed by the next sentence: "Citizens of the world: ask not what the United States is willing to do for you, but what we can do together for human freedom." ”
- Master, you come to translate, in this sentence, what is 'human freedom'?
- Half a century after Kennedy said this, a billionaire with long blond hair translated for him: "America First!" maga!”
In the middle of the 19th century, the American state was not even fully formed, and the credibility of this country did not even qualify for the establishment of a book of accounts.
Without the victory of the Mexican-American War, the pride of American solubility is still a little light!
Without the unification of the Civil War, the Americans in the North always felt that the Irish in the countryside of Zozhia in the South, the Germans in Richmond, and the Spaniards in the Carolina were out of step with them!
In another time and space, William Sherman, known as the 'Attila of the Americas', in order to win, he carried out a 'sweep' of his own people on his own land, hundreds of thousands of people died because of him, millions became refugees, and the entire state of Zozhi was empty!
Don't talk about Indians, he doesn't even love his own people!
He didn't care about the credibility of the country – in this period of the mid-19th century, on North American soil, whether it was William Sherman, Zachary Taylor, or James Polk...... Everyone, love the White House, not the United States!
They love the drunken New York, and they love the snowy Richmond!
I love the yellow gold, and I love the black and heavy lead!
Other than that, they love only themselves.
National credibility?
There is no such thing!
INTERVIEWER It is easy to understand if the United States is a conglomerate disguised as a state, and when people in some countries regard respect for life as a self-evident moral bottom line, Americans are keen to see it as a kind of 'brand value'.
-- They have plundered in Africa, invaded in Asia, and slaughtered in the Americas, and they have persevered for hundreds of years. They never think about the question of 'morality and conscience', but rather believe that it does not damage the credibility of the country, but helps to strengthen the brand of 'America', and that a strong strategy will naturally lead to a strong brand, which will bring them more benefits."
- Relying on the strong brand of 'America', they can owe more than twice their GDP, they can unscrupulously station troops in the Far East, they can rob the Persian Gulf with open fire, and they can openly tear up the agreement they just signed yesterday.
William Sherman, after holding hostage more than 10,000 old and weak women and children in the old Indian camp and successfully forcing the turtledoves to open a 'safe passage' for this, was not only ashamed, but proud.
He was complacent in an interview with the New York Herald and published a public declaration that 'war is hell', describing how he achieved this earth-shattering reversal!
】
He even forced Lotzen to take off her mask, telling her, "If you can get the reporters to take a picture of you, I can release 100 Indians first!" ”
……
It's a full 800 kilometers from Monterey to Lake Texoma, Oklahoma.
The 'safe passage' starts from Monterrey and has a supply point every 300 kilometres or so to the north: Laredo, Nocona (Austin) and Chicas (Lake Tecosoma).
According to the agreement reached with Sherman's courier, Sherman was to return 1,000 Indian captives at Monterrey, 2,000 at Laredo, 2,000 at Nocona, and all remaining approximately 5,000 Indian captives at Chickaso.
To make sure that the Indians didn't go back on the safe passage, Sherman invited almost all the newspapers and reporters to report along the route.
Unexpectedly, but also reasonablely, the British, French, and other European observation missions that had been in the Indian army joined the report and urged the turtledoves to carry out the 'Monterrey Peace Agreement' without discount.
In their mouths, the destruction of the 100,000 white army was really tragic!
Even if they had gloated over it, what they wanted to see more than a strong and unified America was the rise of a race of Native Americans!
At the moment when the defeat of the American Union Army in Mexico was assured, the white people of the Observation Mission were transformed into peace lovers, environmentalists, and angels of love and peace!
Even the 'spirit of contract' has been brought out again, even if the United States has torn up a hundred agreements with the Indians, it doesn't matter, the Indians can't do this anyway, the Indians must have the 'spirit of contract'!
……
Before the safe passage is scheduled to open on June 30, Ikaruga has publicly done three things:
First, it recognized the ownership of New Mexico by Juárez and Geronimo, and clearly demarcated the boundary between New Mexico and the Union of Indians;
second, the recognition of Guatemala's ownership of Belize;
Third, he congratulated Sant'Ana on his inauguration as president of Mexico in the newspaper and expressed the hope that further friendly relations with Mexico will be developed in the future.
On 30 June, the first group of about 50 American troops entered Monterrey and, after surrendering all their weapons, marched on foot towards Laredo in the north.
At the same time, the watermill and the sea led a group of 300 people, dressed in costumes, playing joy, sweeping along the way, and handing out small gifts—either a linen handkerchief, or a tortilla, or simply a few pesos in a red envelope......
It is known that they will travel 800 kilometers north to welcome back his wife for the turtledove!
