Halfway through, Tom pointed to the floating Texas flag of the swab.

"If one day, I, Tom Smith, will be like Jefferson Hamilton Davis, holding the banner of our Texas at the forefront!"

"Even if I die in battle, I will enter heaven with a smile!"

"I will meet the glorious ancestors of Texas, and I will walk up to the great Charlemagne with my head held high; I can proudly say to him: I, your descendants, have not disgraced you, I shed my last drop of blood for the great slavery and Texas! ”

"We fight for enslavement! We don't fight for freedom! ”

"We are not machines, we are not cattle and horses, we are slave owners!"

"It's a Texan who has never succumbed!"

"We unite in the name of the monarchy!"

"Fight for a new, hierarchical world!"

"We fight for everyone to have slaves! Fight for those who were enslaved by us to return to Texas and become slaves again! ”

"Fight because we don't need to shout and protest all day! Fight for our dignity! Fight for our promises! ”

"Fight for the reappearance of the monarchy in this country! Texans, we fight for the glory of our ancestors! ”

"For our children and grandchildren to be able to proudly proclaim: We are Texans who never give in! And fight! ”

"Long live my fellow citizens, Texas and the people of Texas! Freedom, long live! ”

"Hooray!"

"Long live slavery!"

"Go and fight for slaves and land!"

At Tom's call, the first tens of thousands of HERO company's pioneer employees boarded the expeditionary ship.

A "small number" of knightly squires under the name of Tom Heroes boarded the steamer and embarked on an expedition.

Tom is a new knight, and there are not many knight squires under his name.

The total number of knight attendants planned to go to the battlefield is only 150,000, which is only a little more than the thousands of expeditionary forces in France.

Counting the personnel who do logistics in Houston, there are still not many people, just over a million people.

"Recently, I feel like the Europeans and Yankees can't buy the goods."

"And we can't stop the factory, so let's make some munitions to consume."

"Employees who don't work are waste, and employees who work are employees."

"John, this is the war plan, take it, and follow this when you get to Mexico."

"Whether our HERO company can have a territory no less than Texas depends on you."

"Come on, you are the real hero of our HERO company!"

"The cannon is bombarding his mother, and Weijia Hainei is returning to his hometown."

Tom gave his "number one knight squire" - John an envelope, and on the cover of the envelope was this eternal sentence of the "great poet" of the Republic of China.

John, who could not read Chinese, did not care about this "strongest horse verse in history", and boarded the paddle steamer with an envelope.

Looking at the paddle steamer drifting away, Tom couldn't help but sit down on the edge of the harbor and began to cry and cry.

With Tom's "lead crying" who had just made a proud speech, all the family members of the soldiers who had traveled far away also stood by the port and wept, and the scene was not miserable.

"Woo woo ~ my employees, my employees, my employees!"

"Brother Tom, it's okay, it's not like our brothers went to the battlefield in person, what is there to cry about."

"You know what! War has always hurt capitalists like me the most. ”

“？？？”

"The capitalists have always been the main victims of war, and the capitalists have lost their employees, their slaves, their means of production in the war."

“？？？”

"What about the soldiers? It's just that I lost my life, and I've lost my assets! ”

“？？？”

"Woo woo woo ~ they are all my tools, my assets, can't I cry?"

“？？？”

Loki: I know you're not human, big brother, but can you at least be human.

Tom paid tribute to what Mrs. Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton called the "theory of patriarchal oppression."

She, Hillary, can say that the deaths of men in the war are all gender oppression of women.

Why can't I, Tom, say that the death of employees in the war is the oppression of capitalists like me?

Finally, Tom kept "crying" until the paddle steamer sank to sea level and disappeared from the view of the send-off group.

Tom stopped crying, put on a smiling face, called Loki and Johnny and walked to the carriage.

"Let's go and celebrate the start of the war."

“？？？”

——————

John Mueller led tens of thousands of "apprentice knights" to the port of Veracruz.

Henri René de Talleyrand, who greeted John in the harbor, watched in amazement as dozens of paddle steamers entered the harbor in an orderly manner.

"Mr. Muller, this is the "Knight Squire" under Knight Smith? ”

"That's right, Your Excellency Minister Henri René de Talleyrand, and I am also a 'knight's squire' under Lord Tom Smith's Knight. ”

"Didn't he say there were only a few people?"

"It's really only a billion points here, and there are still a few groups of people after that."

"And?"

For this war, Lord Smith has mobilized almost all of his "knight squires", and it is expected that 150,000 "knight squires" will eventually be put into the frontal battle. ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand?"

These didn't come directly from the U.S.-Mexico border, they took the sea route.

In René's eyes, this is also half an expedition.

Tom also promised not to engage in war from the U.S.-Mexico border to prevent the U.S. government from making excuses.

René was still very happy at the time, thinking that Tom could only send a few hundred men to the war with "secret weapons" at best.

Even if a miracle happens and the tide of the war is reversed, the thousands of expeditionary forces in France are also the largest "main force of enclosure".

The kings of the large European countries did not dare to say that they were capable of supporting an expedition of an army of 150,000 men.

René was a little incredulous, and already wondered whether this Tom Smith was a capitalist factory owner or a serious emperor?

René is now even thinking about whether Tom is the de facto "president" of the United States, otherwise where did he get so much power?

The private armed forces have such a huge number, does the government of the United States care?

"Monsieur Müller, aren't you here to fight? How does it look like you're here to build a house? ”

Standing on the port, looking at the thousands of "security guards" and tens of thousands of Chinese laborers carrying bags of cement with a clear division of labor, René was even more confused.

John Mueller did not respond to René, but smiled as he watched tens of thousands of Chinese laborers carry cement from the ship.

If you want to win, build roads first,

Can use cannons, without guns,

Can use a gun, not a knife,

Incendiary bombs can be used without TNT,

Never negotiate with barbarians!

John only glanced at the overly simple "war plan" during the voyage and burned it.
