Wild North America 1846

There is an undercurrent surging among the upper echelons of Tang and the United States. They both regard each other as a strategic rival. The slander and belittlement at the public opinion level and the respective preparations at the military level have not affected the general public in society at all.

Whether Chang'an City or Chicago, the rows of buildings and the bustling crowds on the streets reflect that these are two metropolises with bright development prospects, prosperous and full of vitality.

On January 21, the New York Times published that day reported a piece of news, which caused an uproar in public opinion in the Tang Dynasty and even alarmed His Majesty the King.

The most recent cause was a pair of young Chinese men and women who were doing business in Cleveland, Ohio. While walking on the street in the evening, a group of local white youths had a conflict.

The Chinese young man was stabbed 11 times after being beaten by a group and died on the spot.

A Chinese woman was dragged into an alley by a group of white youths and tortured to death. The violence lasted for more than 6 hours from about 5 o'clock in the evening to about 11 o'clock in the night. During this period, the police passed by many times and even fought with the group of white youths.

The conversation was not stopped.

Afterwards, no one called the police to collect the two bodies, which were more than 370 meters apart, until noon on the second day.

During this period, the parents and family of this young Chinese man and woman were frantic with anxiety. It was only after they arrived at the police station that they learned that the child had been killed. The answer given by the police was that the death was caused by a drunken fight. The murderer was nowhere to be found, which was a completely perfunctory attitude.

This reflects that the poor situation of Chinese businessmen and students living in the United States has reached an unprecedented level. The rampant abuses by local gangsters have severely threatened their personal safety.

Immediately, the Chinese Embassy in Washington responded and met with US Secretary of State Mr. Klaus to express strong protest, demanding that the United States earnestly fulfill its obligations as a civilized country, protect the safety of the personal and property of Chinese people in the United States, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese people in the United States.

infringement.

The attitude of the US government is disappointing. It just said "regret" lightly and did not make any commitments.

President Franklin Pierce is about to expire. He does not want to create more complications at the last moment, nor is he willing to show goodwill on this issue. This will lead to mindless condemnation from hard-liners in the party and leave a bad impression of weakness.

.

There are not two similar vicious cases. The most recent vicious case was at the end of 1847, two days before Christmas, when a white drunkard in Queens, New York, broke into a local Chinese school with a sharp knife and hacked five students to death on the spot.

He slashed 11 teachers and students, including the teacher, and was later shot dead on the spot by a Chinese parent who came after hearing the news.

This is the inaction and connivance of the Pierce government, and the smear campaign by local mainstream opinion newspapers in the United States, which has led to the further deterioration of relations between the two countries. Some thugs who are dissatisfied with society have vented their anger against relatively wealthy Chinese businessmen, which has caused many

Vicious cases.

After this case occurred, it aroused unanimous indignation among the public opinion circles of the Tang Dynasty. Accusing articles were published in newspapers, and a wave of banning and boycotting American products was launched.

Many Chinese restaurants and entertainment venues have put up big signs; "Yanks and dogs are not allowed."

This news was quickly reproduced by European media, and "Paris Saint-Germain" commented on this;

A vicious case triggered a sharp decline in relations between the United States and Tang Dynasty. "Yanks and dogs are not allowed to enter" even stimulated the pale and sensitive vanity of American cowboys, causing mass demonstrations to break out in more than a dozen cities in the northern United States, demanding "the expulsion of the Chinese.

Confiscation of Chinese property."

This dispute between countries caused by mutual disrespect is likely to evolve into a regional conflict or a more serious incident, and let us wait and see...

The British "Times" is full of melon-eating plots, reporting in a tone that is just watching the excitement and not being afraid of the big deal;

The sensitive self-esteem of the Orientals, who claim to be the "Celestial Kingdom", encountered challenges from their neighbors. The American cowboys used the most direct and brutal criminal behavior and unabashed cover-up to break the glass hearts of the Orientals. This caused a huge gap between the two countries.

The relationship deteriorated sharply.

The Orientals showed their arrogance and dignity with the sign "No Americans or Dogs Allowed", which further stimulated the rude American cowboys, and the situation was slipping out of control...

February 16, 1847

After holding the New Year Festival, King Richard of the Tang Dynasty made a public speech on the relationship between Tang and the United States. He publicly criticized the Franklin Pierce administration by name, calling it "a murderer who incites national hatred" and "an unqualified politician and opponent."

"Not only has the performance been substandard in the past years, but the performance is still disappointing at the moment when the curtain is about to end."

Finally, His Majesty the King made a strong statement; if the Americans want a war, the Kingdom would not mind teaching them how to behave.

This public statement immediately stunned the U.S. government.

It is less than a month before the 16th President of the United States is publicly sworn in at the beginning of March, and the countdown to President Franklin Pierce’s term has begun. What kind of battle should we fight at this time?

to be honest

The name of Devil King Charlie is well-known in both the political and military circles of the United States as well as among the people. He suffered three disastrous defeats in the Western Expeditions and two northern front battles. The American officers and soldiers who died under the iron heel of the Tang Kingdom's army and the soldiers of more than ten northern states died.

More than a million people?

All those who have experienced that nightmare time are left with a deep shadow of fear in their hearts.

When the king was angry, he laid down millions of corpses.

The public statement of His Majesty the King of the Tang Dynasty immediately excited the crowds in Europe. Any improper response by the US government may lead to an unusually large-scale inter-regional war.

The relationship between Tang and the United States suddenly reached the tipping point from slipping into the abyss. For the dictatorial monarch of the Tang Dynasty, war was just a matter of words.

Just as countries around the world were paying close attention to the official response of the US government, President Franklin Pierce decisively backed down and did not respond directly for more than a week.

More than 10 days later

February 28

When U.S. Secretary of State Klaus attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, he was bombarded by reporters and had to reply with a constipated expression, "Zhizhiwuwu";

"First of all, I would like to state that the United States hopes to continue to have positive interactions with the Tang Dynasty and conduct in-depth dialogue on the interesting topic of strengthening the protection of overseas Chinese. This is an obligation that civilized countries should earnestly fulfill.

Well... Regarding what His Majesty the King said... I don't know the specific situation, but I personally believe that a peaceful and healthy relationship between the two countries is a situation that both of us hope to see.

The federal government has tasked the Immigration Service and the police to effectively perform their duties in protecting foreigners. This is their duty.

as far as I know;

There are more than 300,000 Americans living and doing business in Tang. We urgently hope that some discordant voices will not affect the overall friendship between the two countries. We also hope that the Tang government can control the irrational emotions of the people and avoid hurting the feelings of American expatriates in Tang. After all,

They are innocent..."

a few days later

Reporters stopped James Buchanan, who was in high spirits on happy occasions, in Washington, and raised this question again. James Buchanan frowned, thought carefully before answering;

"Please allow me to take this opportunity to express my deep respect for His Majesty King Richard. As a good neighbor living together in North America, after I take over as president, I will be committed to maintaining the friendly relations between the two countries. This is a

The vast continent is enough to accommodate two great countries. Okay, thank you all."

Unlike his wild speeches during the campaign, James Buchanan, who is about to be inaugurated as the 16th president of the United States, is obviously much more cautious and did not respond directly to reporters' questions.

At this time, his status no longer allows for nonsense. Every word he speaks may represent the policy tendencies of the new government. How can this be tolerated?

Just for a moment of verbal pleasure, if the dictatorial monarch in the West takes it seriously, there will be wars and wars everywhere, and that will be terrible.

An all-out war between the two countries is not a child's play. James Buchanan hasn't been sworn in yet. Why fight in such a hurry?

Even after taking office, the federal government will not launch a war immediately. It must be prepared in all aspects.

The U.S. federal government's show of cowardice made Europe sit down on small stools. The melon-eating countries that were not afraid of trouble were in an uproar. The melon seeds were all ready, and you let us watch this?

Ever since

All kinds of weird ridicule came overwhelmingly, venting their desires and dissatisfaction to their heart's content. Many European mainstream newspapers and media dug out the various unbearable performances of Americans in previous wars, calling them "American cowboys rushing to windmills" and "an unbearable past."

Words such as "bringing back memories of being beaten" are extremely humiliating.

In the eyes of arrogant Europeans, even though the United States has become a second-rate power, it is still classified as a third-rate power.

Europe generally regards Americans as superficial, crude and backward, with dangerous free ideas and still holding slaves. Their level of evolution is a century behind Europe, and they are simply not members of a civilized country.

Europeans have a natural sense of superiority in front of Americans, and they especially like to point and comment condescendingly. The U.S. government's cowardice in dealing with this incident greatly disappointed the Europeans who only wanted to watch the excitement.

Amid the uproar of disapproval, the 16th President of the United States, James Buchanan, was officially sworn in on Capitol Hill and delivered a passionate inaugural speech, declaring that the United States had a "natural mission" and that he would lead the American people

"Pursue greatness" and create "exciting history"...

The speeches related to the 16th new president of the United States did not make much splash in the European media. This is because the United States has almost no influence in Europe, and is not even as popular as the Tang Dynasty. Who is the new president? What he talks about is almost

No one pays attention.

But this does not include the two upper-level military and political leaders of the Tang Dynasty. President James Buchanan's speech at the inauguration ceremony. The top military and political leaders organized special seminars, attached great importance to it and took it seriously.

His Majesty has said many times: This is a dangerous guy who accepts death and is extremely stubborn. He has extremely aggressive tendencies and must not let down his guard.
