Wild North America 1846

Chapter 375 Gathering at the White House

Noon, March 17, 1862

The special train of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty slowly stopped at the Washington Railway Station. The platform was covered with a red carpet and tens of thousands of pots of flowers were placed, creating a rich atmosphere of flowers.

Amidst the majestic music played by the military band, leading figures from the Northern Army, Colorado Army, Chang'an Army and Southern Army, as well as President Jefferson Davis of the Confederate States of America (South), Secretary of State Henry Daniel, Secretary of the Treasury Robert Jr. and other senior officials

, President of the United States of America (Northern) Andrew Johnson, Secretary of State Henry Jones, Secretary of Agriculture Lloyd Austin and other senior cabinet officials, as well as special envoys from Britain, France, Italy, Prussia and Austria, etc., came together, and the welcoming scene was unprecedentedly grand.

The heavily armed Royal Guards lined up from the Washington Railway Station to the White House. Under the escort of more than 3,000 cuirassiers, His Majesty the Emperor's chariot traveled from the Washington Railway Station to the White House, receiving cheers from thousands of people along the way.

Sitting on the spacious and luxurious chariot, looking out through the window.

Many Chinese-faced people could be seen waving the Imperial Double Dragon Flag and flowers. Their faces flushed with excitement and they shouted loudly, "Long live your Majesty, long live the Tang Empire, long live the Tang Empire!" Among the welcoming crowd were many well-dressed white women, holding in their hands

They were also waving flags, but their mood was obviously not as high as those of the young Chinese faces.

It is estimated that for safety reasons, the military arranged all the officers and soldiers on vacation nearby to welcome them on both sides of the road. Those white women were either mistresses, concubines, or doing errands, and of course they were not that active.

Emperor Richard could see through the mystery at a glance, but these people below always had good intentions, and the welcoming scene was lively and grand enough, so everything was done satisfactorily.

The huge Tang Empire must have corresponding dignity and dignity.

Today's photography technology is advancing rapidly. These photos of the crowds in Washington welcoming people will be recorded as historical images, demonstrating the attitude of ordinary people in supporting the "North American Peace Treaty" and promoting the attitude that everyone is tired of war and longs for a new peaceful life.

.

As for what these people really think in their hearts, that doesn't matter.

Today's Washington is only a medium-sized city with a population of hundreds of thousands. Its functions are more administrative, with a certain scale of industry and commerce and a small amount of finance, and that's it.

After tens of thousands of coalition soldiers poured in, it had actually turned into a large military camp.

Regardless of whether it is the army of the Tang Empire or the army of the Confederate States of America, there has never been a saying that "military and civilians are one family" in the land of the conquered people. Large areas of residential buildings with better conditions in the city have been expropriated, including houses.

The white women in.

Some house owners still have male masters, so they can only clean up the house quickly under the gunpoint of soldiers, and leave in embarrassment with their wives and children.

As for whether to stay overnight or squeeze into a slum in a slum, no one cares.

Some house owners have no male owners and only have a few white women, so they can be assigned to officers or to companies. The whole process is simple, rough and barbaric, and it is inevitable that there will be a few incidents of resistance, but basically no one reports it.

Even if such an incident is reported, no superior will pay attention to it. Instead, they will reprimand, "They are all a bunch of idiots. Are the fire sticks you are holding in your hands?"

The officers and soldiers of the Tang Empire were already familiar with conquering foreign territories.

All that is needed is fear and obedience from the people, and no inner consent is required. In fact, it will not be possible no matter if it takes decades or hundreds of years.

Last week, white people in more than a dozen cities on the East Coast were still holding large-scale "anti-hunger" and "anti-invasion" demonstrations.

Due to brutal and bloody suppression, nationwide demonstrations on the East Coast are now banned. Any gathering of more than 20 people is regarded as malicious, and the local white police have the power to disperse, arrest and suppress.

When conflicts intensify, the coalition forces will conduct armed intervention to restore regional order.

Duke Dai Changfu, Chief of Staff of the Army of the Tang Dynasty, once commented on this: "A group of white pariahs who are full and have nothing to do. It seems that the lesson left by hunger is not profound enough. Food prices need to rise further.

Just drink a bowl of bean soup every day to avoid causing trouble."

After the United States of America admitted defeat, the remaining 800,000 troops were all disarmed and were now reorganized to participate in urban recovery work and transformed into a labor force.

The Confederate States of America (South) took the opportunity to escort more than 300,000 strong white prisoners back to Richmond, and dispersed and enriched them to the southern states, including West Virginia, Virginia, South and North Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia, and

Mainly Mississippi, to supplement the local labor force and resume production in manors and cotton fields as soon as possible.

at the same time

The coalition forces arrested black people on a large scale, regardless of whether they were free citizens, and then stuffed them into stuffed train cars and sent them to the south. This caused considerable social unrest.

This move was an ongoing military action at the request of the Confederate States of America (South), on the grounds that it was necessary to safeguard "the legitimate property rights of white slave owners and to get their property back from the despicable Yankees."

Anyway, this is a nonsense.

This aroused strong protests from the United States of America (North), and the lawsuit was brought to the international mediation team, which was mainly composed of Britain and France. The attitudes of the British and French were ambiguous.

South) plundered a large number of male population from the North without stopping.

Mr. Marquis Franson-Bowman, the British special envoy who presided over international mediation, said bluntly in a private chat with Commodore Phillips of the Royal Navy: "In the dictionary of the British Empire, the winner can choose the spoils without

To be blamed, to be weak is the original sin, and this meets the definition of fairness."

"Your Excellency, how do you define the Tang Empire's greedy possession of the ten northern states? Is London turning a blind eye or listening to this?"

"My dear friend, when it comes to matters related to international geopolitical interests, any alliance is an unreliable illusion. Do you believe that when London upholds justice, the Tang Empire will turn its back without hesitation?"

"Oh... Frankly speaking, this is indeed a possibility."

"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty."

Having said that

Marquis Fransen-Baumann shrugged indifferently and continued in a gloating tone;

"It is impossible for the British Empire to send 500,000 or more troops to the North American continent to uphold justice and wave the flag for an immigrant country that was at war with Britain decades ago.

Since these Yanks broke away from the Great British family through the violent means of war, London no longer has a moral responsibility for this place, but is happy to see them beaten.

Only when you have suffered a lot outside and have your head broken and bleeding will you know how to approach your parents... right?"

"But...the United States of America (the North) today has been dismembered to a disgraceful state." Brigadier General Phillips said with some regret.

Marquis Franson-Bowman smiled even more happily after hearing this, and said comfortingly; "An independent, powerful and difficult-to-control United States of America (North) is not in London's interests. The current scale is just right. Today's North

With big cities on the east coast like New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, the security environment is seriously threatened by the Tang Empire and the brothers in the south. What can he do if he doesn't cry and embrace the British Empire?"

"Oh...that's it." Brigadier General Phillips said with sudden realization. He looked at Marquis Franson-Bowman who was smiling like a fox stealing a chicken, and he was filled with admiration in his heart.

After all

The British Empire makes decisions based on its own interests, rather than the interests of the United States of America (the North), and is not a good person.

noon

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty successfully moved into the White House and opened it as a temporary palace for the emperor to stay in Washington. This was a deliberate humiliation and trampling on the dignity of the United States of America (North), and it was also a silent warning.

After all, in the entire Washington, D.C., there is no place more suitable for the residence of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty than the White House.

"This... is too shabby." Richard walked around the Oval Office and said with disdain.

His words aroused roars of laughter from a group of senior generals and allies of the Confederate States of America (South), and their hearts were filled with the pride of victory.

Southern President Jefferson Davis knew the opportunity and stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, compared with your magnificent Ming Palace, this place is undoubtedly an ugly birdcage.

But in the whole of Washington, here and the Capitol are the only places that are somewhat respectable and more or less worthy of your distinguished status. Your Majesty, please give in."

"It doesn't matter, I also came from the military. When I led the army to fight in the north and south, it was common to eat and sleep in the open." Richard said with a big wave of his hand.

Duke Dai Changfu immediately hit the snake on the stick and said with emotion: "Now that I think back to the years of fighting with His Majesty, I have experienced glorious victories one after another. The old minister is still sighing and remembers it often! I will do this in my life.

The most correct thing for me is to follow His Majesty through all the obstacles and conquer the country, and witness with my own eyes His Majesty’s creation of a prosperous age of the Tang Empire, which has never been seen in the world, and he can be called an emperor through the ages!”

"Duke Dai is over-praised. It's all thanks to the concerted efforts of you and I that we are in such a good situation today!" Duke Dai Changfu, an old man, was a bit too flattering. Richard lowered his tone with a smile on his face, but he was still very happy in his heart.

of.

Only President Andrew Johnson, Vice President Nick Jones-Marmont, Secretary of State Henry Jones, Secretary of Agriculture Lloyd Austin and others standing behind the crowd looked at each other with bitter expressions, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

It was a terrible feeling to see the robbers talking and laughing freely in their homes, dividing the land, property and women that originally belonged to them, and having to be shy and humiliated while socializing with a smiling face.
