Capitol Hill, Washington,

The U.S. Capitol dome is towering and sits north of Capitol Hill.

Measuring more than 850 feet long from north to south, 380 feet wide from east to west, and more than 300 feet tall, the Statue of Liberty at the top overlooks all other buildings in Washington.

Including the White House.

Walk through the restored garden, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the founder of American garden design, and get an up-close look at the hub of American power.

After taking a good look at this great building, and then entering the column forest made of dozens of columns made of marble, you will officially enter the heart of American political power.

After pushing open the door, the statues of the Founding Fathers of the United States and other great people who have made outstanding contributions to this free and democratic country are lined up in the corridors.

Behind the statue is a fresco by the Italian painter Constantino Blenmidi.

The walls of the political hub, with such a large proportion of Catholic, Vatican-style paintings, make the country look like a theocratic state.

But considering the content of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, the United States should be a country with separate politics and gods, right?

Should be.

In this complex building of 540 rooms, only one room is the central "room of power".

That's the Senate Congressional Room.

Today, dozens of worried senators are gathered just for Tom Smith.

Every senator has only a knotted eyebrow on his face.

"It's been almost three months, and Smith is still not bankrupt, Tom, where did he get so much money?"

The senators who took the lead were descendants of one of the five-member committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence.

Not only him, but these dozens of senators, if you carefully examine their surnames, are basically descendants of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence.

It was either Jefferson or Sherman, or Adams, Livingston, or Franklin.

No matter how bad it is, it is also the surname of slightly lower blue-blooded nobles such as Carol and Rodney.

It's so democratic and so liberal.

But considering that the signatories of the Declaration of Independence were all great "leaders" who let their slaves and soldiers "throw their heads and shed their blood" for the independence of the United States, it would not be too much for their descendants to become senators, right?

The soldiers under their command have fought all their lives, and the leaders of these soldiers and the descendants of the leaders can't enjoy the blessings?

"Britannia? Or the French ghosts? ”

"It can't be them, Great Britain is now suffering from internal and external troubles, how can it have the energy to support the Texans so strongly?"

"It is impossible for the French devils, who have been defeated in the Mexican battlefield after repeated defeats, how can Napoleon III have the prestige to call on domestic capitalists to finance another Central American region?"

"Prussian madman? Or the Habsburg in Austria? Could it be the same ignorant and backward Tsarist Russia? ”

“……”

Discussion and discussion, these blue-blooded nobles almost guessed that Lafayette was supporting the Texas Smith factory with silver.

But even so, they didn't expect that the Smith factory area in Texas was strong enough to be industrially strong enough.

They still don't want to believe that their industry has been surpassed, and they still live in the dream that the Great Lakes of America is the world's number one industrial region, and they don't want to wake up.

They only believe that there is an outside force that is using real money to disrupt the American market and destroy the industrial heritage of the Great Lakes Industrial Zone.

"Who the hell is the Texas side communicating with? Don't you Texans know? ”

The crowd followed the eyes of the senator who spoke and looked at the two senators who represented the interests of Texas.

"No, neither my parents, who have been in charge of the local estate in Texas, have any information about any connection between the Smith Factory District and Europe."

"As for that Tom Smith, it seems to be the descendant of an old Houston hat who built the Smith factory area overnight."

"I don't have any useful information on my side, this guy is like a macho man from the sky, and without warning he started to build Texas on a large scale."

"Not only to abolish slavery, but also to support the employment of women."

"If he hadn't quietly brought millions of people from all over the world in a few months, and scattered the local Texans, he would have been assassinated by the local conservatives."

These two senators, who were supposed to defend Texas, had already betrayed their home state.

Some of the people looked at the two of them with some doubts, they suspected that the two of them had rebelled again, defected back to the Texas side, and came to Washington to be a senator just "in Cao Ying's heart in Han".

"Guys, isn't Texas still paying taxes step by step?"

"And are they still insisting on the high tariff protection policy against the Europeans and the mafia that cracks down on smuggling?"

"Since the Smith Factory District began dumping goods, Texas has become the only state in the former rebel area that still supports the federal government."

"Didn't we already send a task force? When they come back, will the truth soon be revealed? ”

"Don't think cranky at this stage, such a big state, if it is really forced to be helpless, it may really do something unexpected."

After hearing the timely "justification" of the two, the other senators pondered that it was indeed the only state that openly stated that it did not support the Ku Klux Klan movement, as the two said.

If the federal government pushes this big state back, it can only be said that the gains outweigh the losses.

Considering that if the two did not support the interests of Yankey, it would be impossible for them to enter the Senate, and everyone's concerns about the two were eliminated a lot.

Although everyone was still worried, the meeting ended smoothly.

On the way to the end of the meeting, these senators in their forties and fifties began to discuss the Texas Task Force that had been dispatched not long ago.

"Those young people in the task force aren't going to act impulsively, are they?"

"It's hard to say, but I'm convinced that my son, even if he acts impulsively on the surface, is carefully calculated on the inside."

"They are all our juniors, and sooner or later they will take our place, and the most important thing for us is to trust and support them unconditionally."

"Who hasn't come here when they're young?"

These old fritters and old foxes certainly won't cross the Middle East part of the United States, where the Ku Klux Klan is in turmoil, and go to Texas in person, where they are ostensibly loyal, to negotiate with Tom Smith.

Who knows if Texas is genuinely loyal or pretending.

The people who can climb to the position of senator are all the elves in the family, and they have long seen that the riot of the Ku Klux Klan is Tom's trick, but it is just like Tom's prediction.

The Yankee is also full of contradictions and interest groups.

The arrogant Yankews would rather try to snatch more benefits from their peers and employees.

I am also unwilling to use extra energy to deal with these Ku Klux Klan thugs, let alone cross the region to clean up Texas.

The task force is also a group of young people who have gone to mix qualifications.

A young man with strong blood.
