The streets of New York have become battlefields, and while the surrounding residents are scattering and fleeing, a large number of soldiers pour out from the surrounding areas.

The Queen's Guards from Britain fired one after another, and most of the guards who were caught off guard were instantly lost.

The soldiers who poured out from around quickly eliminated the remaining guards and took control of the situation on the streets.

The queen of the United States and the two surrounding members of the British royal family were also controlled by them.

A group of guards then surrounded Monroe and Jefferson's car and forced them out of the car.

Jefferson struggled over and over again, and roared uncontrollably:

"John Adams, this madman and fool, is going to provoke a war for the freedom of the Ink slaves!"

Monroe, who was also pressed down, couldn't help but retort when he heard the roar of his companion:

"Adams is not so naïve, emancipating the slaves is just their slogan, the real goal of the old North is complete independence!

"After independence, higher tariffs could be introduced, so that British goods could no longer be dumped in the United States.

"Let cotton and other agricultural products from the south no longer be exported to the UK itself, but sold cheaply to the north as raw materials."

The American Civil War, the American Civil War, and at some times also known as the Third Revolutionary War.

The Second War of Independence was the Anglo-American War of 1812, and the two sides narrowly ended in a draw.

The first two wars of independence were political independence, and the third was economic.

Before the Civil War, the United States was independent as a country.

But agricultural products from southern plantations, including raw materials such as grain and cotton, are still mainly exported to the UK.

The industrial areas in the north are staring at each other, but they have no access to raw materials, and they have to bear the dumping of goods from the British.

So the North pushed for federal legislation to raise tariffs, which was passed by Parliament.

This hurt the interests of Southern planters, and the Southern states declared independence from the Union to form the Confederate States of America.

The North did not recognize the independence of the South, and the Civil War broke out.

In the end, the North won, and the United States severed the South's economic ties with Great Britain.

The United States officially began to develop completely independently.

The situation between the North and the South is similar to that in history, but the choices and actions of the two sides are exactly the opposite.

The South is deeply bound to the British mainland, and although there is a strong tendency towards independence, there is still some distance from desperately wanting independence.

Previously, when a large number of Mo slaves from Yinzhou in central and southern China continued to import, and slaves from Tianzhu also began to enter the market, the south was forced to the edge of independence.

But by this time, Britain had also compromised and set up the American kingdom, the king, and the parliament, giving the farmers the means to control the situation through the parliament and defend their rights and interests without violence and war.

They succeeded in passing a law prohibiting the importation of slaves in Parliament, and the desire for independence began to wane.

At the same time, however, the idea of the North seeking to raise tariffs was rightly rejected by the representatives of the South.

Nor could Britain itself support the North, because the colonies were already exclusive dumping markets for goods.

If a colony wants to charge high tariffs to the overlord and restrict the import of goods from the overlord, is it still a colony?

….

Therefore, the contradictions between the American North and the British mainland are difficult to reconcile.

Delegates from the North have also come to understand that their real core needs cannot be met through non-violent means.

In the process, the independence tendencies of the North grew, and at the same time did not receive actual pacification.

Both the British mainland and the southern representatives felt that the strength of the northern part of the United States was limited and that there was no need for special practical pacification, as long as it could be suppressed.

In the course of the formal convening of the U.S. Congress, and in the process of discussing the future of the United States' Basic Law, the North's demand for tariff increases was rightfully rejected.

The independent tendencies of the North have finally reached their limit, double

Fang's contradiction finally broke out completely.

The North decided to become completely independent, but still did not want to be independent on its own, hoping to obtain the raw material source of the South.

Nor was it capable of independence on its own, and the North knew that it was not capable of defeating the British.

So the North staged a coup d'état on its own turf and took control of three members of the British royal family, including the Queen of the United States.

Holding Queen Charlotte and Prince Frederick in check, he demanded that the British royal family's naval and land forces stop resisting.

The queen and regent of the Kingdom of America, who were also the second and third heirs of the United Kingdom, were now captured at the same time.

In an era when the influence of royal power is still very deep, in this situation, the royal guard is basically ineffective.

The troops of the navy and army, which protected the three members of the royal family, were disarmed one after another after a very small resistance.

On the other side, a group of guards escorted Monroe and Jefferson back to the makeshift council hall.

They met John Adams again, and Adams' son, John Quincy Adams.

Quincy is the sixth president of the United States in history.

Adams and his son, although they have only served one term as president, are the first father and son presidents in American history.

When Jefferson saw Adams and his son, he immediately shouted in a loud rage:

"Adams, you madman, what you are doing now is a shameless violation of freedom.

"If you want to become a tyrant of America, you will be defeated in the most complete way!

"You will be revolted by all the Americans, and you will be punished by the whole United Kingdom."

Jefferson was controlled, but he was still aggressive.

Because he knew that much of the United States supported him, and Adams was only a representative of a small minority of the North.

He knew that Adams couldn't be a real tyrant, so he could scold the other party for failing to become a tyrant.

If Adams really was a tyrant, Jefferson would probably be much more honest.

Historically, Adams, as a representative of the North, served as vice president of Washington for eight years.

After leaving office in Washington, Adams narrowly defeated Jefferson by three votes and became the second president of the United States.

But Adams also served only one term as president, losing to Jefferson in the election to seek re-election.

Although Adams is in control of the situation now, he seems to be a little lacking in confidence, and his tone is a little weak:

"We have no choice, the council only protects the interests of your southern farmers, and does not care about the interests of the northern factories.

….

"So we can only use extraordinary means to express our opinions and defend our interests.

"Jefferson, Monroe, rest assured that we have no intention of dividing America, and we will ensure your safety.

"But I want both of you to join me in signing this letter to the King of the United Kingdom."

At the same time, Adams' son, Quincy, took two prepared documents and handed them to Monroe and Jefferson.

The guards on either side let go of their hands, and Monroe and Jefferson were partially freed, while taking the papers with straight faces.

Monroe just glanced at it a few times, and he couldn't help but scream.

"Request that Princess Amelia be the new king! and allow the Kingdom of America to become completely independent!"

"Including the current Queen Charlotte, three members of the British royal family will remain in the United States as hostages!"

Jefferson's reaction was even more intense, and he directly threw away this so-called *** book, and roared loudly:

"It's impossible! His Majesty George III could not have allowed the United States of America to become completely independent.

"If you insist, it means war, and we in America are not capable of winning this war!"

Monroe couldn't help frowning when he listened to Jefferson's words.

That threat may not be useful now.

The British and the Americans, in fact, did not want this battle to break out

Hair.

But the contradictions between the two sides can no longer be reconciled.

Adams wanted to protect the interests of the northern factory owners, and the only direction was complete independence.

Otherwise, Adams would not have organized this coup.

Adams was ready for war and probably had contact with the French in the north.

At the same time, John Adams, in the face of Jefferson's warning, just laughed dryly and said:

"Our goal in the United States is only to seek independence, not to occupy the United Kingdom in turn.

"We don't need to win the UK outright, we just need to hold on and never admit defeat and surrender.

"Once the war breaks out, the Ming and the French will definitely intervene, and the war should enter a state of anxiety.

"Once the British policymakers decided that the war losses would outweigh the subsequent gains, they would allow American independence."

In the face of Adams's questioning, Jefferson's momentum obviously dropped a little, but he was still very clear against it:

"Independence doesn't mean anything to Virginia and the states south of it, it's just a senseless war for us.

"You are tying the whole of America to the chariot for the sake of the interests of a small number of you northerners.

"With the United States of America having its own parliament, we no longer have a fundamental conflict with the United Kingdom.

"You northern states can be independent on your own, don't drag us to fight together."

Adams immediately asked rhetorically:

"Do you think that if our northern states declare independence, you will be able to stay out of the matter?

"Do you think that the battlefields of the War of Independence will be completely confined to our borders?

"Have you ever considered that in order to force Britain to recognize our independence, we will destroy as many of your southern farms as possible with the support of the Ming and the French?

….

"You do not have a fundamental contradiction with the United Kingdom now, but have you not considered obtaining a greater good?

"Your produce can only be sold directly to British merchants at the lowest prices.

"Have you ever considered selling it to the Ming Dynasty, France, Prussia, Ottomans, or any other place with a higher bid?"

Jefferson's momentum was even weaker, and these questions were exactly what he had considered.

The possibility of free sales to the outside world is also one of the internal driving forces for the independence of the South.

And the War of Independence, as the destructive nature of the war, does need to be considered.

At the same time, Monroe, who was here, suddenly spoke:

"Even if you want to be independent, you shouldn't choose Princess Amelia as king.

"Amelia is frail and sickly, and if she dies without an heir, the throne will return to the Prince of Wales and Princess Charlotte.

"A more suitable candidate would be Prince Frederick."

The purpose of changing kings is to diverge the order of succession of the English kings from the succession order of the American kings, so that the kings and descendants of both sides have no chance to inherit two countries at the same time.

If you have to go around and go back, then America will be independent in vain.

Adams and his son were visibly taken aback as they listened to Monroe's words.

Monroe's tone of advice seems to be in favor of independence.

In fact, in Monroe's heart, he always did not support, but did not oppose the independence of the United States.

The idea of an American empire for the Americans had long taken root in Monroe's heart.

It's just that his standing in the United Kingdom has continued to rise over the past period of time, so there is no motivation to step out of his comfort zone.

Now that I have finally been cornered, I have to start thinking seriously about independence.
