Wild North America 1846

The King's Train roared on the railway line, and the scenery outside the window continued to recede. The mountains were endless, and there were countless lush forests and large and small lakes covered with a layer of white snow. It looked like a cold winter scene with high sky and vast clouds.

In the luxuriously decorated train compartment, the floor is covered with thick Persian carpets, and in the simple-looking mythical beast Taotie incense burner, the smoke of lit ambergris rises in curls.

Lieutenant General Chen Chuan, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards, stepped in, bowed respectfully and reported, "Your Majesty, the special train will enter Phoenix Station in about 10 minutes. I would like to report here."

"Um……"

Richard retracted his gaze from the window, responded lightly, and said for no reason, "The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!"

"I dare to speculate, is your Majesty referring to the recent American infiltration incident in the Omaha area?" Lieutenant General Chen Chuan asked cautiously.

"What do you think?" Richard did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically, his eyes falling on Lieutenant General Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan was an immigrant who arrived in North America in late 1847. He was a contract worker brought from the Manchu and Qing dynasties in the Peruvian guano mine. After the contract expired, he stayed on the island and continued to work hard at guano excavation until he had the opportunity to come to North America to search for it.

new life.

Chen Chuan, Minister of Economic Affairs Chen Cailiang, and Minister of Transportation Huang Yuanjia were all Zhangzhou laborers. They were well-known for being literate and fair in dealing with matters, and they quickly stood out from the immigrants.

These early immigrants were loyal, down-to-earth and hard-working, and many of them have become pillars of the kingdom and have been reused.

However, due to limited knowledge and experience, the upper limit of this group of people is not high, and their ability can only be said to be the best among ordinary people. However, compared with top talents such as Gu Yan and Liu Xianjun who have been promoted to official positions, they are indeed far behind.

Fortunately, he is loyal and hard-working, and he does not lose his way in doing the assigned things, so it is very easy to use.

Richard didn't think about the Yankee's little move, he just asked casually with the intention of taking a test.

Lieutenant General Chen Chuan has been with His Majesty these years, and his knowledge and knowledge have increased a lot. He must have thought about this question repeatedly in his mind, so he answered it quite smoothly.

He replied;

“In reply to His Majesty’s words;

Judging from the enemy situation reported by the Army General Staff Headquarters, the US military has made no major moves, and has found no signs of large-scale mobilization of troops and supplies. This situation can only be attributed to local hidden dangers and is not a cause for concern.

Wei Chen secretly thought;

On the one hand, the border fortress defenders should be strictly ordered to increase their vigilance and combat readiness, strictly guard against U.S. infiltration and harassment actions, and crack down on and eliminate enemy investors hiding in the dark. On the other hand, they should strictly negotiate with the U.S. and resolve disputes through diplomatic means.

I have some humble opinions, please correct me, Your Majesty."

"Normally speaking, this response plan is correct. It's quite satisfactory. No one can find any faults with it." Richard looked back, with a hint of disappointment, and then ordered: "Inform the accompanying ministers and

Instruct the guards in each carriage to get ready to get off."

"The humble minister obeys the decree."

Lieutenant General Chen Chuan withdrew with a little uneasiness. He could feel that His Majesty was not satisfied with this answer, and he really couldn't figure it out.

The scenery outside the window recedes scene by scene, and dense building clusters gradually appear along the railway line. The steam locomotive emits a long whistle, piercing the sky and spreading into the distance.

At this moment

The special train has entered the suburbs of Fenghuang City. Vegetables and winter wheat are planted in the fields with crisscrossed ditches. There are also many farmers working in the fields with their cattle, which is a picture of a peaceful life in the past.

Richard looked out the window, but in his mind he was thinking about the chaotic scene in today's American political arena, and he seemed to want to figure out a clue from it.

When Republican presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, all signs pointed to radical slaveholders in the South, and in the end the investigation had to be abandoned.

This is because Abraham Lincoln, as a staunch liberal, participated in the Kansas Civil War and became one of the leaders of the Northern faction. He quit the Whig Party in early 1856, joined the newly formed Republican Party and became its presidential candidate.

There were many people who hated Abraham Lincoln, both publicly and privately. There were enemies on the battlefield, political opponents, and southern slaveholders. There were at least hundreds of people who had the motive to kill him and the ability to take action.

In the United States, where shootings are frequent, if you don't catch the perpetrator on the spot and try to detect and catch the person behind it afterwards, it's basically like lucky.

As a political failure, Abraham Lincoln had little fame and little influence. The assassination was quickly replaced by other social hot spots, and then gradually forgotten.

The most exciting moment in American politics today is undoubtedly the duet performed by the outgoing President Franklin Pierce and the incoming 16th President James Buchanan, which almost exposed the split of opinions within the Democratic Party.

Both of them belonged to the Democratic Party, but James Buchanan repeatedly tore apart the illusion of peace at mass rallies and used fierce words to attack Franklin Pierce, calling him a "mediocre tinker" who was nothing.

.

These words reached the White House, and President Franklin Pierce was so angry that he not only broke his beloved Qing Dynasty vase, but also called James Buchanan a "despicable Irish farmer" in a rude tone.

The public scolding war between the current and upcoming presidents has successfully attracted great attention from the American media. It is also a hot news that the public loves to hear. It even surpassed the news about the all-armed fight between the northern and southern legislators on Capitol Hill.

.

Richard is not that bored. He has more and more reliable information channels than ordinary Americans, and he understands that the battle between the two presidents is actually a battle for power.

Before James Buchanan was officially sworn in as the 16th President of the United States, he eagerly pointed out the current political and military policies of the United States, and intended to influence the military beyond the current president, showing his impatient attitude.

Of course, these small moves were resolutely countered by President Franklin Pierce. The current Secretary of the Army and Chief of Staff of the Continental Army submitted their resignations, and new people came to power.

Behind this is the pressure from the White House.

Think about it!

The current president only has two and a half months left in his term. Why should the two leaders of the Continental Army be replaced at this time?

President Franklin Pierce's resolute counterattack was tantamount to two hard slaps on James Buchanan's face, affirming the tiger's territorial awareness.

Boy, if you want to go on stage, you should wait two and a half months, I haven’t retired yet!
