War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny
Chapter 47 Battle of the Alamo 2
Washington, White House.
Martin Van Buren held a thick stack of letters and proposals, and then threw them heavily on his desk.
"Your Excellency, this is for today. Do you want me to open it for you 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 other hand and took a long puff, blowing out a long smoke ring.
"Damn it! Can these people survive with enough food? The slave trade in the south is not going away for a day or two. They actually said that we should strictly implement the law prohibiting the slave trade. Are they going to pick the cotton fields in the south?"
"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 barbarians who are not worthy of occupying the territory of the British Empire."
Before 1815, two wars broke out between Britain and the United States. After that, there was a stalemate over tariffs and raw material issues. The Monroe Doctrine made the British resentful.
Therefore, the vanguard of anti-Americanism at this time was the United Kingdom, even more anxious than Franz and the Mexicans.
Viscount Palmerston even claimed that "troops should be sent to Texas immediately to drive those American scum out of the civilized world. The land of the United States belongs to the British Empire, and the Americans are a group of thieves who have stolen the property of the British Empire."
Viscount Palmerston's remarks received widespread support in Britain, because the continued expansion of the United States will definitely affect British interests, and Britain, as a world hegemon, will not allow a challenger to emerge.
"Damn the British, we have declared neutrality, what else do they want?" Andrew Jackson was in a bad mood. The price of American land had risen again. He dared to say that now all the metal currencies in the United States could not buy half of it. New York City.
The Indians had just moved west of the Mississippi River, and the politicians were already studying how to keep the Indians moving westward.
“Maybe we should put a moratorium on the slave trade,” one cabinet member suggested.
"That's impossible! Today we declare a ban on the slave trade, and tomorrow those politicians in the South will drive us out of office!" Andrew Jackson shouted.
"Mr. President, I'm saying, let's make a statement and we don't have to do anything other than maintain the status quo."
Andrew Jackson thinks it makes sense, and it’s not the first time he has spoken out.
"Okay, you draft a statement declaring that our country prohibits the slave trade and will continue to maintain a neutral attitude in the Mexican Civil War."
March 6, 1836, Alamo Fort.
At the suggestion of two military observers, Tasan Anna sent an officer with his letter to the city walls to persuade the Alamo defenders to surrender.
[General Tasan Anna, liberator of San Antonio, President of Mexico, hero against Spain, protector of Indians, Napoleon of North America.
It is hereby declared that Texas is the Texas of the Mexicans, and is a province of Mexico. Your actions are an act of betrayal, but I, Tasan Anna, am a kind person.
As long as you agree to surrender immediately, then I can ensure that you leave here safely. I promise to God
Otherwise, you will be left waiting for blood to be splattered on the spot! 】
Bowie upstairs smoked out his cigar and shouted, "Are you done?"
The officer didn't know what it meant and replied, "That's it, this is General Tasang Anna's order!"
"Then you can die."
Bowie put his cigar on the fuse of the cannon and boom!
A cannonball hit the officer squarely, cutting the officer into two pieces on the spot, with red and white pieces scattered all over the ground.
Before the surrounding cavalry could recover from the shock, artillery and gunshots rang out from the city wall, and the Alamo defenders had already targeted the Mexicans in front of them.
A small group of cavalry, including officers, totaling 11 people, none of them survived.
The furious Tasan Anna directly ordered "Hussars, charge!"
Only Stadion and Gabrenz were left messy in the wind, and the cavalry charged the city? ? ?
