Wild North America 1846

"Excuse me, what do you think of slavery?"

"This is really an interesting topic. I know that the British country has abolished slavery and is called a model of modern civilized countries. But we have to see major countries including France, Prussia, Russia, Italian city-states, the United States and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Slavery is still prevalent in most of the world's great powers, including European and American countries. Even in Tsarist Russia, serfdom was the basis of imperial rule. In the American South, black slaves were the main labor force in cotton plantations. This cannot be denied."

Speaking of which

Richard paused and smiled slightly, showing a pair of clean and neat white teeth, with an elegant temperament like Zhilan, and then continued;

"I personally am not opposed to the slavery system. It allows people in society to live in an orderly manner according to their respective classes and perform their duties. It is an ancient social system that has been passed down to this day, and it naturally has its reason for existence.

But I want to make a point here;

I do not support the cruel or even inhuman aspect of the slavery system. Some slave owners treat those poor people with bloody and cruel methods, often breaking arms and legs and inflicting torture. This is really against human nature and must be severely condemned.

Therefore, I have limited support for slavery and hope that a more humane system can replace it and promote social stability so that people can live and work in peace and contentment."

"This is really an enlightened and wise opinion, and I deeply agree with it." Mr. William Richardson was the first to applaud, which attracted warm applause from the crowd. His eyes met Ronald Evanson who was standing on the other side.

Unable to check the intersection.

This was a trial, and obviously didn't get the desired result.

Although this Richard is young, he is skilled in communication skills and has smooth hands. His political leanings and specific preferences cannot be revealed from the test, and he seems to be a veteran in social circles.

Just like the question and answer just now, do you support slavery... or do you not support it?

Richard said earlier that he did not support the cruel and inhumane aspect of the slavery system, and then said that he had limited support and hoped that a more humane system would replace it. It was so confusing that people were confused and didn't know what to do.

A real little naughty guy!

After the bilateral meeting, Richard led a group of people to leave Fangcaodi and headed towards Grape Valley.

After William Richardson and others sent him to the door, they waved goodbye and then returned to the house.

"Ms. Chris, please make us another pot of strong coffee and your specialty hazelnut biscuits, thank you!" After ordering the maid, William Richardson showed a wry smile on his face and greeted everyone; "Sit down and chat.

Well, we have encountered a little slippery guy who is difficult to deal with."

"I must admit that "Li" is truly worthy of being born into the noble bloodline of the lost royal family. He seems to be born with the ability to communicate."

"There's no doubt he's smart, and some abilities are innate."

"It's really hard to deal with. We talked for a long time and talked a lot. Now that I think about it, it seems like I didn't say anything. It's really damning."

"That's fun, isn't it?"

"We don't know much about the mysterious Eastern Empire. I heard that Li could tame wild wolves and bears. This is really unimaginable. I have never seen anyone do this."

"Tiger, lion, bear and leopard can all be tamed. European circuses have a whole set of methods for this. In ancient India, there were artists who tamed snakes for a living. It's actually not that mysterious."

"But I have never seen anyone who can tame an adult wild wolf. Even the native Indians can't do it. Doesn't this explain a lot of problems?"

"Maybe he has mastered some unknown methods. This is not the focus of the issue. Gentlemen, let us turn our attention back to the key issues worthy of concern..."

While everyone was talking about it, the British adventurer Ronald Evanson had to knock the table gently with his hand to stop such wild speculations.

In the social activities of the British upper class, a few gentlemen could chat for an hour about the weather. This bad habit of hypocritical socializing spread to the world with the pace of British colonization.

Ronald Evanson doesn't want to waste any more time on this topic. His dream is to follow in the footsteps of the famous adventurers of the Age of Discovery, to make a big and vigorous undertaking, and to become a celebrity in history.

Britain has a long history of adventurers, and the word "adventurer" symbolizes the brave and fearless spirit of exploring the unknown. It brings together the multiple identities of pioneer explorers, social activists, military backgrounds, outstanding hunters and messengers who spread civilization. It is

He is a legendary character and therefore widely respected.

In 1583, British explorer Sir Humphrey Gilbert established a settlement in what is now St. John's, Newfoundland, and claimed it to be Britain's first colony in North America.

In 1611, British explorer and navigator Henry Hudson sailed to what is now Ontario's Hudson Bay and claimed the land for Britain.

Decades later, the resounding title "Lawrence of Arabia" spread throughout the world, leaving a deep British mark on West Asia and North Africa. It was the masterpiece of the famous British explorer Lawrence.

…

This is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, bar none.

Seeing everyone looking over, Ronald Evanson cleared his throat and said in a bewitching tone;

“Respectable gentlemen;

We had a very good start, much better than expected. Not only did we obtain the highest command authority of the Joint Military Committee, but we also reached a high-value deal worth 330,000 pounds with the Tang Association, tightly binding the interests of both parties.

together.

It can be seen that Datang will be a trustworthy partner. I will focus on this point in my reply to the telegram from London.

Next step

It is to support the further growth of Yerba Caidu and the Tang Association, become representatives of the pro-British forces in Alta California, remove obstacles, and promote the independent establishment of the region.

We will receive the necessary military training and material support, as well as the necessary diplomatic support and maritime power support to achieve the ultimate goal of stalling the United States' greed and excessive expansion.

In this great event that will surely go down in history, how did you all perform and how much did you contribute?

It will determine whether your names will be presented before Her Majesty Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace to receive honors and honors?

And among them

In addition to Fangcaodi's own efforts, how to firmly control the Chinese armed force of the Datang Society and let it act according to our baton will become the key.

It can be seen that Richard has a high prestige in the organization he founded. How to tie him firmly to the British chariot has become our primary consideration..."

The closed-door meeting ended an hour and a half later.

Dutch Captain Doug, Mayor Fox, grocery store owner Odom Russell and others left one after another.

William Richardson put on his tall brimmed hat and went out with a precious cane inlaid with emeralds in his hand. He looked up at the brilliant sunset filling the sky with a thoughtful look on his face.

Faced with the heavy pressure of American soldiers on the border, he knew that this was a huge gamble. If he lost the gamble, most of his life's wealth might be wasted. The price was too high.

"The British captain is the pioneer adventurer who spreads the glory of the British Empire, and you are the same. With all due respect, this may be the closest the Richardson family is to the glory of the nobility." Ronald Evanson's bewildering voice came from behind.

.

He seemed to be able to sense the hesitation in William Richardson's heart, and gave him timely encouragement. He was simply a master at playing with people's hearts.

William Richardson replied solemnly: "This is a poisonous apple, and I don't know whether it is worth risking all my life and fortune for it. I am too old and no longer have the ambition of young people."

"This does not require Fangcaodi to rush ahead in everything, we can let Datang Hui do it..."

"You also said that he is a little naughty guy."

"Oh, that's right, that's what I said. Do you think you can't control Li?"

"He is the most outstanding young man I have ever seen. He has the agility of a cheetah and the wisdom of a fox. It is difficult for ordinary interests to drive him to take risks."

"I remember..." Ronald Evanson stopped here, with a mysterious smile on his face, and looked at William Richardson and said confidently; "You have four beautiful and extraordinary daughters, only one of whom has already passed away."

Married as a woman, the other three are still waiting to be married..."

After saying that, he went straight away.

His words caused waves in William Richardson's heart, and his face turned green and red, as if he was thinking about this possibility?
