The rainy day continues to be a joke: "So we should prevent Mexico from being defeated?" ”

"No, we can't do that." "Mexico can't beat the United States." ”

"In terms of population alone, the United States is more than twice the size of Mexico, and the economic and military gap is huge. There is also the government, where the political situation in Mexico is turbulent, the president changes twice in three days, and the authority is weak, in contrast, Polk is a strong and hard-working man. ”

The current president of the United States, James Knox Polk, is the first black President Ma in the history of the United States, and suddenly entered the White House in the middle of the election.

Although he is the same as the king of the dark President Ma, the abilities of the two cannot be compared.

Polk was the most diligent president in the history of the United States, working eighteen hours a day without any recreational activities, and burning the anointing of the sundial for four consecutive years.

He was not only diligent, but also capable, and during his tenure of office, he expanded his territory, straightened out his finances, and fulfilled all the promises he made during the election campaign in one term.

Then he fell ill and died.

Of course, in fact, if Polk continues to do it, it is difficult to say about the future of the United States and the evaluation of Polk himself.

Because Polk was a champion of slavery and resolute, in fact he was a slave owner himself. Against the backdrop of intensifying contradictions between the North and the South, it is difficult to predict in what direction a capable and staunchly pro-slavery American president will take the United States.

"The United States itself is stronger, and with a strong president, it is almost impossible for Mexico to turn the tables around. Two years at most, in 1848, Mexico will be in the south. ”

Ma Whistle said.

"Even if something unexpected happens that turns Mexico around, the United States has the ability to start a second war on a much larger scale...... As the war continues and expands, the influence of accidental factors will become smaller and smaller, and the gap in national strength will be overwhelming. ”

"Can we just remain neutral and watch the United States replace Mexico in the southwest?" ”

Ma Whistle: "Not all problems have a solution. For example, if a person is bitten by a poisonous snake and ten rattlesnakes inject venom into his body, if he asks me: Can I just watch myself die? I will answer him: Yes. ”

There was silence in the room of the "......".

Ma Whistle continued: "When you encounter any problem, you should not assume that it has a perfect solution. Otherwise we will fall into the swamp of ideas, and I sometimes make this mistake, and I hope you will be alert. ”

Feeling that the foreshadowing was almost over, he changed his words: "Of course, for the Mexican-American War, we can't do anything. ”

With the current prestige of the horse whistle, it is completely possible to give orders directly, and there is no need to play these curves.

But he doesn't like to give orders directly, he prefers to be reasonable, which is his instinct as a good teacher.

And he understands that authoritarianism is actually a finite resource, not something that can be squandered at will.

"We can't change the outcome of the war, but we can influence the course of the war." "The Mexicans are going to lose, and the Americans don't want to win easily. ”

"What should we do?" On a rainy day, I continued to be a joke, but my mind was not in the meeting, but in taking notes.

He often recorded the stories and opinions told by Ma Whistle, which he then compiled into articles and added them to the Spiritual Oracle. For example, the sniper story told by Ma Whistle just now, as well as the poisoning metaphor, he thinks they are all good materials.

"We can mass-produce new pistols and sell them to both sides of the war, mainly to the Mexicans, so that we can increase the number of white casualties and make us money." ”

"The benefits of money are secondary, and if we do it right, we can reap something more precious."

The steppenwolf hesitantly raised his hand, as a soldier, he was more accustomed to raising his hand first or shouting a report.

"Say it." The horse whistle looked at him.

Steppenwolf asked, "In that case, our new pistol should be in the hands of the whites, right?" I mean, they'll copy it. ”

"Absolutely." "But it's not a big deal, although our pistols are a little more advanced than the whites, there is no essential difference." They can make improvements at the slightest touch, which we can't afford for long. ”

"The Mexican-American War is a good time, and at least we can take advantage of it. What's more, Browning and I will design a lot of weapons in the future. ”

“…… Do you have any other thoughts? The horse whistle looked around.

Deerhand obviously had a lot to say, and his expression had already begun to fluctuate: "I have a few questions. ”

"What's the problem?"

Deerhand: "First of all, why do we use white chronology? What 1845, 1848, why not the Apache tradition? ”

Ma Whistle didn't expect him to ask about this.

The wind answered the question for the horse whistle: "Because the white man's calendar is more accurate than ours." ”

Deerhand was both disdainful and unconvinced: "You say white things are better? ”

"Of course." People said, "Lushou, you must not have read the "Spiritual Oracle" seriously, the "Good Learning Chapter" is about us to learn with an open mind, especially from the enemy. ”

"The Great Chief said that white science and technology is something we must learn seriously."

"Hmph, it's not that he didn't read "The Spiritual Oracle" seriously, I don't think he even knows a few words!" The wolf seems to have a strong dissatisfaction with the deer hand, "How can an illiterate person appear in the council!" ”

Deer Hand was a little flustered: "I, I am literate!" ”

The wolf asked, "How many words do you know?" Can you read through the book? ”

"I'm ......," the deer hand blushed.

Seeing that everyone was about to attack the deer hands, Ma Whistle said, "Okay, don't talk about it." ”

The crowd fell silent.

Ma Whistle continued: "Our traditional calendar does have a lot of problems with the white man's calendar. Of course, the white man's calendar is not without its flaws, and we can design a more complete calendar, but we just use it to keep track of time, and there is no need for it. ”

He added: "At least not yet." ”

Ma Whistle actually didn't like the Yali either, and if the conditions were right, he would be more than happy to ban the Yali with the new calendar.

However, he felt that he should not see this day in his lifetime, because in his opinion, the banning of the Yali was basically the job of the world government.

At the very least, this is also the work of the next Celestial Empire after Western civilization.

He is happy and hopes that in the future, there will be a country that will design a new calendar that is more scientific and secular, and will drive the Yeri calendar off the stage of history.

Ma Whistle ended the topic and looked at the deerhand: "What are your other questions?" ”
