For John Clayton, turtledoves are not too familiar. In the memories of his previous life, this guy didn't have much to show as Zachary Taylor's Secretary of State.

Perhaps it was Zachary Taylor's strong personal style in the past that did not allow for too good a secretary of state in his cabinet.

In the long list of assassinations drawn up by Turtledove, John Callton did not deserve a place.

But that doesn't mean he's not good. A country's talents often emerge with the growth of national strength.

For example, today's America, although it is still in crisis and poverty, there are also many talents who seem to have fallen from the sky, originally an ordinary tinkerer, after learning the piano for a few days, suddenly became a musician, an old hunter who has been hunting all his life, and it didn't take long to create a work that shocked the world...... Of course, these cases, behind each specific character, may hide unknown mental journeys and hardships, but from the height of the turtledove, they are like mushrooms after a rain, and they suddenly appeared, and as soon as they appeared, they were a large area.

The strength of America supports their growth, and their growth also feeds the strength of America and complements each other.

In the same way, the prosperity of the United States is also an unstoppable trend during this period. When the tide of the Industrial Revolution came to this continent, the United States, as the first to bear the brunt of the inheritance, naturally took advantage of this trend.

Once the momentum is established, it is not simply one or two wars that can be interrupted. Everything has inertia, just like a rumbling train, even if the engine stops, it can still glide for a long, long distance by relying on inertia.

The same is true of the rise of the country. North America is the world's island, and the United States, as the only player on the world's island, will be able to borrow all the power of this trend once it steps on the tuyere of development.

This force is so powerful that it can propel it to the top of the world. The independence of the Indians does not mean that the United States has really lost its momentum to move forward.

The engine of the Industrial Revolution is still driving it strongly, and compared to Europe, Asia and other countries at this time, the United States is still a unique existence.

It can only be said that this world force is now divided by half of the American countries in the west, so that the United States of America in the east is far less powerful than in the previous life.

But with good and bad together, isn't America another opportunity for the United States? In the original world, after pacifying the Indians, the United States was like a drug, and after World War I, the United States had leapt beyond the empire on which the sun never set, and with the strength of the world's first, its arrogance was not concealed at all.

The so-called rules and order have become the dust that they trample on at will, and justice and morality are just a dispensable fig leaf for it.

Its arrogance and arrogance, the flames of the sky, are irresistible! It's just that now, with the rise of America in the West, the United States has no chance of taking drugs.

But that doesn't mean he's gone. On the contrary, as the saying goes, 'every obstacle in the way will create a new quality for the victor', and if it can once again level the western America, it may take a different path.

Maybe it will become an America that knows humility, knows respect, understands good and evil? Maybe it won't be enchanted, at least not too deeply?

It depends on whether the turtledove and the America country it controls give it a chance! ……

"John Callton has played a good hand!" After reading the information, the turtledove couldn't help but say to little Andre.

"Whether we buy Alaska or not, we're going to be at a disadvantage!"

"Buy, hollow out our national strength! A place where birds don't poop, maybe it will be important in the future, but for us now, this is a lethal poison! ”

"If you don't buy it, it's still a trivial matter to lose Russia as an ally, and America will become the only buyer in Alaska, and it can take this piece of land from Russia at a very low price!"

"Moreover, we can't take this piece of land to develop it, not even the navy, but we just bought an enclave! But if the Americans take it, they can use it as a base to open up the situation in the Pacific Ocean! ”

"John Creaton is really a talent!"

"In this beautiful country, how can such a bad thing come out?" ……

"100 million rubles, it must be Tsarist Russia opening his mouth, maybe we can let him lower the price?" Little Andrei pondered for a moment and said: "We can pay some price, but we must not let Alaska fall into the hands of the Americans!" ”……

"How much?" The beaver sneered and said: "Nicholas I is cold and selfish, proud and conceited, even if he is willing to let go, 80 million? Or 50 million? For us, it's all the same, we can't afford it! ”……

"Drag it out?" Scalp said: "There is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by 'dragging'!" "Since becoming the foreign minister of America, Scalp has his own experience in dealing with problems.

Many of the difficulties faced by America were solved under his policy of 'procrastination'. ……

"Drag?" The beaver gave him a disdainful look,

"Some problems can be delayed, and in the end, it's a big deal for us to carry it, and it's nothing to get beaten a few times. But this kind of problem, the longer we drag it out, the stronger the bargaining power of Lao Mei. Maybe in the end, Tsarist Russia will sell Alaska for millions of dollars! ”……

"A few million dollars? No way, no way! "Fifteen dollars said,

"No matter how cheap Alaska is, it is almost 1.7 million square kilometers of land, Nicholas I could not be so stupid!" Concentrate***

"Besides, if we really want Lao Mei to talk about the price of millions of dollars, it's not like we can't pay this money-" ......

"- When the time comes, the tsar would rather sell it to the United States than to us!" Beaver said.

"Why?" Scalp asked.

"Hmph, when the time comes, the tsar will definitely be in internal and external troubles, and he will be cornered! In addition to giving him dollars, the United States can also give him warships and artillery, what can we give? Does Mr. Nicholas I need our corn? ”…… The turtledove listened quietly to their arguments and arguments, without a rule and without any good ideas.

At the end of the day, it's still too poor. I can't seize the opportunity even if I see it!

"Can we think differently?" "This is a dead knot for us, the Russians will not be able to give in, and the Americans will be eager to push us into the ondol...... What else can we do? ”

"What else can be done?" Little Andrei sneered and said, "Do you want to borrow money from the French again?" "Ever since he took charge of the Pivot Bank, he has hated such things as 'borrowing'.

Whether it is the French, the British or the Russians, the money borrowed is all cut off and loaned, not to mention, one by one, they have to be pledged in one way or another.

This one requires the right of customs, and the other has the right to build roads...... The agreement is all top secret, otherwise once it is announced, his little Andre will have to be hanged on the steel square as a typical example of losing power and humiliating the country!

In all fairness, he didn't want to betray the country. But America is poor and white, and others can still look up to this body.
