Chapter 113: A man of lofty ideals among the Yankees
Regardless of whether or not Tom held a grand enthronement ceremony, the news of Tom's ascension to the United States of America was also transmitted throughout the United States by telegram.
And the content of Tom the Great's enthronement ceremony is becoming more and more evil.
In parts of America, Tom has become the reincarnation of a saint in the Bible, or the new messenger of the Lord's will.
In the era of economic crisis, everyone is in fear and cannot live all day.
When the leader of an economically stable region appears in the public eye, even if Tom does not deliberately publicize his great achievements, all the poor people who are unemployed and at risk of unemployment will regard Tom as a true god.
A true God sent from Heaven to save them
Even if this true God is the "culprit" that caused them to lose their jobs,
Ordinary people who face suffering need a sustenance, a spiritual sustenance.
A sustenance that gives them hope in a hopeless life.
Even this child of hope can't actually help them in their lives.
The matter spread more and more widely, but the old Yankee government couldn't sit still, but it just couldn't sit still.
The biggest reason why the old Yankie federal government can't sit still is that the Texas government has not said anything.
The Texas government has neither publicly expressed support for the ascension of Tom Smith to the throne, nor has it openly opposed the feudal system that has poisoned the liberal and democratic land of the United States.
The Texas government still pays taxes to the federal government as usual, as if the accession to the throne of Tom the Great, who caused the earthquake in the United States, did not happen in Houston, Texas.
This was a strange attitude, but the Yankee elders quickly understood that it was Tom who asked the Texas government not to turn against the Yankee federal government.
The Yankee guys weren't stupid, and they understood why Tom did this,
The Texas government doesn't need to turn the other cheek with the old Yankee federal government, because a flip would do more harm than good to the Texas government, or rather to Tom.
The current state government still pays taxes to the federal government with tens of thousands of dollars of HERO dollars printed by its own state bank.
And the U.S. government, while receiving waste paper dollars, wants to protect the Texas government in international diplomacy,
As for all the orders issued by the old Yankee federal government to the Texas government, they will be disobeyed by the Texas government in various ways.
The old Yankee administration was in a hurry, but it didn't know what to do with the Texas government.
The United States in the mid-nineteenth century was the end of the era of rapid expansion.
The four major regions of Oregon, the Republic of Texas, northern Mexico, and Alaska were all incorporated into the United States in just two or three decades.
Unlike the core thirteen states, these four regions were all sparsely populated areas when they were incorporated into the United States in the early days, and they were also areas with low control over the Yankee Lao.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
If the old Yankee administration rebelled against the Texas region, it is very likely that the other three regions that had been incorporated for less than 20 years would become independent together with Tom's support.
Not to mention the Ku Klux Klan movement that is now intensifying in the Dixie area because of the economic crisis.
At that time, Elder Yang could change from a nominal American communist to a separatist power that could only control the industrial region of the Great Lakes.
Perhaps this era is the era of God Bless America, and historically, after the incorporation of these regions, the local industrial potential did not burst out immediately.
There is no strong local separatist force similar to Tom's.
These areas were only after Yang Ki Lao gradually took control of these areas, and then suddenly burst into their terrifying industrial potential.
Less than fifty years later, the oil industry exploded and Texas discovered some of the largest tractable oil fields of the time.
The western region is close to the Pacific coast, and after the initial construction of transporting a large number of people from East Asia is completed, the American government can take advantage of the weakness of East Asian countries to directly expel these sweat workers.
As for the Alaska region, after the gradual development and maturity of technology in the following decades, a large number of steel, oil and gold resources have been found.
It also gave the United States a claim to enter the Arctic Ocean.
If you give Yankee a few more decades to slowly digest these newly incorporated lands, then the protagonist of this era is undoubtedly the United States of America, and it should be the old Yankee government that eats the cake, and it should be the old Yankee old man.
But Tom showed up,
In just two or three years, the Republic of Texas, which had been dismembered by the old Yankee government, became a region with more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land and a population of nearly 10 million.
And that's not all, the point is that Tom didn't have the subjectivity of joining the Yankee's old interest system at all.
Tom's interest system is even completely opposite to that of Elder Yankee.
On the Yankee side, they have begun to pray for Tom to join the American government.
The old Yankee government was weak, anxious but indifferent as Tom had predicted.
Meeting, meeting, meeting.
Elder Yankee's various elders, except for meeting in Washington every day, have no way to deal with the Texas government.
There is no way to deal with Tom at all.
July 13, 1868,
It has been a month since Tom the Great ascended the throne, and the list of candidates for Empress Tom the Great sent by Europe is getting longer and longer.
But the old Yankee administration did nothing but hold a meeting in a hurry.
They can't figure out why Tom would rather open the channels of marriage to "curry" favor with the old Europeans, rather than join the family consortium capital of the old Yankee government, which is dominated by the federal government in Washington.
The Yankee elders just complained about the sky, but no one wanted to change.
Except for one person, that is the representative of the old Yankee administration who returned from Texas - Charles Francis Adams.
Charles returned to Washington.
At the age of 60, he saw at a glance the difference between the Texas government and the old Yankee administration.
the difference in the degree of concentration of power,
Charles firmly believes that if the old Yankee government was a highly centralized government, like the Texas region, it would definitely declare war on Texas as soon as possible.
At a certain price, to destroy Tom, who is still very weak, does not give Tom a chance to develop slowly.
And now, Elder Yanji will only drag it out again and again,
If power is not centralized enough, no one will be willing to contribute and become the first person to attack Texas.
The Yankee elders all know each other what kind of virtue their "compatriots" are, and it doesn't matter if they are the first to attack Texas or not.
It doesn't matter if he was the biggest hero of the war or not.
It is the one who can preserve the most strength after the war and get more benefits at the negotiating table is the most important.
Charles Francis Adams returned to Washington to change that.
