Battle of the Alamo 2
Washington, White House.
Martin Van Buren held a thick stack of letters and proposals and threw them heavily on his desk.
"Your Excellency the President, this is today's share, do you need me to open them for you to see one by one?"
Andrew Jackson put down the half bottle of gin in his hand, picked up a letter in one hand, clamped the cigar in his hand with the other, took a sharp puff, and exhaled a long smoke ring.
"Damn! Are these people fed and fed? The slave trade in the south is not a day or two, and they actually said that we should strictly enforce the decree prohibiting the slave trade. The cotton fields in the south, do they go to pick them? ”
"But Your Excellency, the British are now ready to expel us from the civilized world. They say that we are white-skinned and black-hearted savages, unworthy of the territory of the British Empire. ”
Before 1815, two major wars broke out between Britain and the United States, and after that, there was a stalemate over tariffs and raw materials, and the Monroe Doctrine made the British hold a grudge.
So at this time the anti-American vanguard was the British, even more anxious than Franz and the Mexicans.
Viscount Palmerston even claimed that "there should be an immediate army to Texas to drive those American scum out of the civilized world." The land of the United States belonged to the British Empire, and the Americans were a group of thieves who stole the property of the British Empire. ”
Viscount Palmerston's remarks were widely supported in Britain, as continued American expansion would certainly affect British interests, and Britain, as a world hegemon, would not allow a single challenger to emerge.
"Damn the British, we've declared our neutrality, what do they want?" Andrew Jackson was in a bad mood, the price of land in the United States had risen again, and he dared to say that the metal currency of the whole United States together could not buy half of New York City.
The Indians had just migrated west of the Mississippi River, and the politicians had already begun to figure out how to keep the Indians moving west.
"Perhaps, we should suspend the slave trade." A cabinet member suggested.
"That can't be! If we declare a ban on the slave trade today, tomorrow those politicians in the South will remove us from power! Andrew Jackson yelled.
"Mr. President, I mean, we make a statement and we don't have to do anything, just maintain the status quo."
Andrew Jackson felt that it made sense, and it wasn't the first time he had spoken out anyway.
"Well, you have drafted a statement declaring that our country is forbidden to the slave trade and that we will continue to maintain a neutral attitude in the Mexican Civil War..."
..........
March 6, 1836, Alamo Fortress.
At the suggestion of the two military observers, Tasan Anna sent an officer with his letter to the city to persuade the Alamo defenders to surrender.
[General Tasan Anna, liberator of San Antonio, president of Mexico, hero of the fight against Spain, protector of the Indians, Napoleon of North America...
It is hereby declared that Texas is the Texas of Mexicans and belongs to the provinces of Mexico. Your actions are an act of betrayal by Chigogo, but I, Tasan Anna, am a merciful man.
All you have to do is promise to surrender at once, and then I can guarantee you a safe exit, I promise God
If not, you'll be spattered on the spot! 】
Upstairs, Bowie took out a cigar in his mouth and shouted, "Are you finished?" ”
The officer did not know what he meant, so he replied, "That's it, it's General Tasan Anna's order!" ”
"Then you can die."
Bowie put the cigar on the lead of the cannon, boom!
A shell hit the officer impartially, breaking the officer in two on the spot, and the red and white were scattered all over the ground.
Before the surrounding cavalry could recover from the shock, the cannon and gunfire on the city wall rang out, and the Alamo defenders had already aimed at the Mexicans in front of them.
A small squad of cavalry, including officers, a total of 11 people, did not survive.
Enraged, Tasan Anna directly ordered "Hussar, charge!" ”
Only Stadion and Gabrinz were left disheveled in the wind, and the cavalry charged the city???
