Chapter 47 Who will guarantee credit

Although the United States and America signed a temporary armistice, neither side had any intention of abiding by the armistice. Along the Missouri River theater, the tentative fighting between the two sides has never stopped.

This is certainly a pain of blood loss for the Americans in the west, but it is a great torture for the United States in the east.

The more developed the capital, the more a stable environment is needed.

Capital does not reject war, but it is better for war to fall on someone else's head and not to affect itself.

Throughout the United States, neither the industrial capital of the North nor the manor economy of the South could afford a protracted war.

Therefore, in 1852, there were already anti-war voices in the United States - although the Indians were a group of wild beasts that would be exterminated sooner or later, they thought that it was better to talk to the beasts to see if they could make the beasts a little more restrained, and it was acceptable to pay a certain price for this.

Although such cries soon came out like rotten wood in a flood and disappeared, it was a groundbreaking signal to those who came out of the decision-making center of White Rock - the white people were finally scared under the iron walls of the Americans!

……

"You're saying that Davis wants a truce with us?"

The turtledove keenly grasped a little unusual signal.

Davis was by no means an anti-war activist, and he had nothing to do with "love and peace".

This time, a special envoy was sent to the country, which aroused the suspicion of the turtledove, and the issue that the envoy wanted to discuss was even more unbelievable.

"That's what he meant," Soya replied, "and he wants to use 'peace' as his campaign slogan, and that needs our support."

"In other words, if we can support him as president, he will push for a truce with us, right?" Turtledove asked.

"Yes." Soya replied.

The turtledove's heart became eager.

He never wanted to annex all of North America, and although he was not lacking in ambition, his strength really did not allow it.

America's ability to own more than 4 million square kilometers of land is already the limit, and any further expansion will only make the country a flash in the pan.

The emergence of a united America on the North American continent and the emergence of a unified America are actually no different from the rest of the world - perhaps a unified America is even more unacceptable to the European powers!

The history that took place in another time and space cannot be repeated here, and the rise of the United States in the previous life was really a big leak, and in the process of its rise, Europe was in civil strife, so only limited intervention could be carried out, and it could not prevent the rise of the United States.

But here, since the creation of the Union of Indians, the great powers have supported America, and to say that they are out of justice, Ikaruga himself wants to laugh. It's nothing more than an attempt to divide North America.

By the same logic, as soon as there was any possibility of unifying North America in America, Europe would immediately unite and the Eighteen-Nation Coalition would advance to White Rock!

When the time comes, America will immediately be beaten back to its original form, no, it will be even worse!

The America may still exist after a series of treaties, but the Americans will most likely become specimens in the British Museum.

Therefore, the greatest future of the American country at the moment is to achieve "peace" with the east!

Is there a possibility of unification in the future?

Maybe there is.

But before the First World War, absolutely nothing!

……

Still, the turtledove thought about it for a long time.

"This is a good proposal," said Ikaruga, "and a truce between the two sides along the Missouri River is a strategic goal that we have been working for. If Davis can do that, we don't rule out some support for him."

Soya "hmm" for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "But who will provide the guarantee?"

What about it?"

In this regard, the turtledove was also speechless.

None of these presidents and secretaries of state in the United States have been able to provide such assurances.

Do you expect their morality? Or is it the so-called "spirit of contract"?

The electoral system they have been advocating has fundamentally decided that their promises are only valid for 4 years!

After this deadline, maybe Ikaruga will have to find a retired old man to ask for cash!

What the turtledove wants is not a peace that lasts only four years!

"So, his promise doesn't really work, right?" Turtledove replied.

"Yes, it's an adventure." Soya confirmed.

The dawn of peace is like a few stones grinding past a spark, fleeting.

The credit of the Americans may be good in a few island nations in the Pacific, but in the case of the Indians, it has long been a deficit!

……

Credit, from the day it was born, is something that is used to trick people.

Some people reward 100 gold with the belief of the wood, in order to let people go to death in the future and give it willingly.

The most profitable means in the world is the empty glove white wolf, and there is no one.

The establishment of credit depends on two factors, one is strong strength and the other is good behavior habits.

Strong strength, on the one hand, means that credit can be guaranteed, and on the other hand, it means that borrowers will be severely punished when they choose not to recognize this credit.

- The typical example of the former is the dollar in the late 20th century, and the typical example of the latter is the dollar in the early 21st century.

Good behavior habits mean that there is a probability formula that is mathematically unreasonable but can be automatically made up by human brains: if the credit is known to be 100% valid in the first n times, then the probability that it is still valid in the n+1st time is 100%!

- Take debt as an example, if this formula is successful, it will be US debt, and if it is not successful, it will be Zimbabwean currency!

Strength and behavioral habits are the two necessary conditions for credit.

The America of another time and space can have it in 200 years, but the America of the here and now does not have any conditions!

What's more, Davis is not yet the president!

……

"Alas!" Ikadove sighed and said, "Of course we long for peace. But peace cannot be achieved by anyone's promise! Not to mention Davis, even Washington himself promised."

"The key is that we have the power to make the other side have to admit 'peace'!" Soya added.

"Yes. The Americans have come through such a long path of suffering, and they must always keep this in mind, and never put their hope in the promises of others."

"Am I a failed negotiator?" Soya said with a smile.

"No, you have to promise him," said Ikarugo, "go back and tell him that we will give him our full support as President of the United States, and welcome him to conclude a peace treaty with us if he succeeds—"

The dim wick of the oil lamp "beeped" and went out.

The smell of burnt lakes after the lamp oil burned out in the air.

The faint light outside the window spirit came in, not very bright, only shining two figures of the model lake, holding hands.

"—time flies, what kind of support does he want?" Turtledove asked.

"He wanted us to open up the market for his crops, and over the years, under the onslaught of cheap crops imported from India and Africa, the industrial cities of the north preferred to import across the ocean rather than buy their things, and the plantation owners put a lot of pressure on him......
