California, 1860

San Francisco

Towering Ark Group stands in the center, and in front of the door is a statue of a vulture with wings spreading, symbolizing fearlessness and bravery!

But the people in the group know that the vultures represent death!

Just like the Ark Group, in the continuous plunder, it has developed and grown,

Today's subway runs from California to Texas!

Just when Lu Yan was focusing on his own development, the contradiction between the north and the south gradually began to become clear.

The North continued to organize smuggling and took away the slaves of the manor owners, causing them to lose a lot of money.

Among them, Lu Yan was also "deeply" victimized,

Because during the construction of the railway, he had to send cavalry to guard against the rebellion of the slaves,

But there are always a few "virgin" fellows who want to save these slaves, in the name of freedom!

The freedom of the hammer, which is all his personal belongings?

Without themselves, these guys are gnawing dirt on the land of Africa!

It is precisely because of this that the democratic and republican sides are in turmoil!

is a large number of state legislators to help themselves achieve parliamentary victory,

But the south has forgotten that the factory itself stands in the north!

Want those capitalists to speak for them? Don't factories need manpower?

At this point, a curtain is about to open.

Tang Si Manor, Lu Yan looked at the representative representing the Southern Manor Lord in front of him and said, "You need me to provide weapons and equipment?" ”

"That's right, Mr. Lu, we have always been your loyal customers, and you probably don't want the abolition order to appear, right?"

Looking at Lu Yan, the future leader of the South, "Stone Wall" Jackson is speaking with a serious face,

Hearing his words, Lu Yan silently picked up a cigarette and lit it: "If you cooperate!" You have given far less conditions than in the north! ”

"You have to believe in our friendship, like this time, we came with sincerity!"

Walking forward, Jackson handed a document to Lu Yan,

Looking at it, Lu Yan raised his head and said, "When will it be handed over!" ”

"Anytime!"

Looking at Lu Yan firmly, even if Jackson knew that the cost was huge, he had to win over Lu Yan,

Because he is not only the actual "master" of California today, but also the largest arms supplier in the South!

As long as a steady stream of Garand appears, the South will have the confidence to defeat the "Barbarian Pact" in the North!

Standing up, Lu Yan handed it to Morgan and said, "Go through the formalities!" ”

"Okay, boss!"

After taking the document, Morgan couldn't help but be stunned,

Because this is actually one of the most famous shipyards in Houston,

In order to win over Lu Yan, the south really paid the price this time,

followed Lu Yan to the military factory, Jackson thought that Lu Yan was going to show him the Garand rifle production industry, but he didn't think about it, Lu Yan directly took him to an open-air battlefield and said: "Look, this is the latest weapon developed by Ark Ordnance Company, an epoch-making life reaper!" Gatling gun! ”

The curtain was lifted, and a machine gun made of metal appeared in front of him.

When Jackson saw Gatling, he couldn't help but be shocked, because this machine gun actually had six barrels!

According to the ideas of later generations, Lu Yan deleted the way of hand rotation in advance, and let Richard complete the trigger trigger instead!

It took two years for Richard to finally make the finished product.

However, the price is a bit high, the material alone has reached 200 US dollars, and the price is 1500

Don't blame Lu Yan's heart for being black, after all, it is originally black!

Lu Yan: Conscience will only make me earn less, but without it, I will earn more!

Asked Stanley to help him wind up the bullet, Lu Yan pointed at the wall in front of him and said, "It is the final form of the future rifle!" ”

"Dada"

As the trigger was pulled, Gatling immediately turned into a metal storm, piercing the wall in front of him until it shattered.

Looking at this scene in shock, Jackson couldn't keep his mouth shut at the moment,

Because of the presence of Gatling, it is simply an infantry nemesis,

Think about how many people will fall in front of this barrage of bullets,

"We buy it, and we will buy it!"

Looking at Gatling, Jackson was about to take out the money and stuff it directly to Lu Yan now.

After Jackson left, Lu Yan successfully signed an arms trade with the South.

That is, he provided weapons and financed the fighting in the South, and the other side took out the shipyards in Houston and exchanged a lot of interests.

For example, the opening of the commercial monopoly of the Ark Group in various regions in the south,

This is very important, after all, the legal provisions of each state are different, and even Morgan feels a little headache when he gets into it in confusion.

Now that the states are open, the Ark Group will be able to ravage their opponents with impunity!

A few days later, the Ark Group officially signed a contract with the South,

But this matter was also known to the north,

But they also know that it is impossible for the Ark Group to stand in the north.

After all, it is in control of the slave trade, how can the Ark Group easily give up, this is tens of millions of dollars a year!

However, the north is not without a countermeasure, then blow up the Ark Ordnance Factory and let the other party completely dumb fire!

Stop the situation of armed confrontation in the south!

Otherwise, with the support of the Ark Group behind it, even if the northern industry is developed, I dare not say that it will definitely be able to win steadily!

But just as the north began to act, Lu Yan had already ordered Glass to clear all strangers,

The importance of the armory, how could he not know, after all, in addition to Glass, there are also dark ninjas to escort him!

Bombing his ordnance factory, what are you kidding, someone Lu wouldn't have played this trick hundreds of years ago!

Back to Downs Manor,

Lu Yan grabbed Fang Ting, who came down from upstairs, and smiled: "What about your cousin?" ”

"She's just pregnant, and she wants to have a good rest!"

Looking at Lu Yan angrily, Fang Ting turned her head and said, "I'm going to take care of the child, do you want to come with me?" ”

"Of course!"

Holding Fang Ting upstairs, Lu Yan chuckled,

In the past two years, he has not done anything but fishing, first taking down Fantine and Lucy, and then allowing Elizabeth and Anna to successfully give birth to two boys for himself!

As for Miss Bennet, she is still angry at why Lu Yan attacked her eldest sister,

But they all have big bellies, and Bennet can only acquiesce to this matter,

Ever since she met Lu Yan at the cocktail party, life seems to have gone astray.

Father and mother have no problem with this.

After all, they are in San Francisco, and they have received all kinds of preferential treatment.

The once undesirable manor has become bigger and bigger under Lu Yan's arrangement, and it is almost too busy.

As for the two daughters having a son-in-law. It's not unacceptable!

The next morning, when Lu Yan woke up from Fantine's boat, Anna hugged the child and said, "Lu, it's time for you to take care of the baby today!" ”

"Okay, Anna!"

Taking over the lifelong enemy in his hand, Lu Yan said angrily: "Son, you have to grow up quickly, otherwise, your father will be too busy!" ”

"Hey, how many times have you said it, don't use your crooked reasoning to educate children!"

Looking at Lu Yan helplessly, Elizabeth handed the child the same and said, "I'll leave it to you!" ”

"Okay!"

took over another son again, and Lu Yan felt quite like a husband of the family, which was really melancholy!

But just when the Downs Manor was in harmony, Washington had already turned into a full-fledged force.

Don't think that the parliamentarians are just high, they are really anxious, they also take off their gloves and throw them in each other's faces to fight!

Just when the two sides fought directly in the House of Representatives, it also symbolized that the war was about to begin!
