Chapter 116 The storm is coming
“Lord Harrison, I don’t know how the British Empire is prepared for this foreseeable war.”
When the situation in the United States became more tense, Alfonso and British Ambassador Harrison sat at the same table again and began to discuss policy toward the United States.
“I don’t think I need to elaborate too much on the situation in the United States now. They only need a fuse to detonate it successfully.”
The United States is now a huge powder keg, and now it only needs a small opportunity to detonate the entire United States.
In this crisis on the original trajectory, the British did not seize the opportunity and let the two sides negotiate privately to avoid the possibility of another civil war.
Now that the British have been guided by the Spaniards, their eyes can be said to be completely on the United States.
“This is natural. The British have hoarded a lot of weapons and equipment. As long as the Spaniards operate properly, the Bahamas will send countless support to the south.”
There is such a benefit to being rich and powerful. To support or support a local armed force depends entirely on whether the British want it or not, not whether it can.
“In addition, once the war begins, the British will be responsible for the liaison work among European countries, and the British Empire will be responsible for responding to all countries that oppose the American Civil War.”
Harrison said proudly that the British Empire is now so powerful that even the mighty Russian Empire can be threatened by the British, not to mention other countries.
The empire on which the sun never sets is the only superpower in this era, and the British play the role of the world police more smoothly than the United States in later generations.
Comparing the political methods of later generations of Americans with those of the British today is like comparing primary school students and graduate students, and there is no comparison at all.
“Your Excellency Ambassador, I hope that our country’s excellent army weapons can get the orders we want from the Americans!”
Alfonso said meaningfully, once a civil war broke out in the United States, Alfonso did not believe that the British would miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
There are only three things. If the Americans in the South cannot become independent from the United States of America this time, I believe that it must be very difficult to have another civil war break out in a short period of time.
“It’s natural, the southern army needs machine guns and artillery!”
Harrison agreed, ?? No one can predict the development of the battle situation later, but it is foreseeable that the southern army will not be the opponent of the north.
The advanced weapons and equipment of the Spaniards are indeed in demand.
“It seems that with this cooperation, both of us can get the results we want.”
. . . . . .
At the same time, the U.S. government. Republican Conference.
“The reaction from the southern states is so intense right now that we shouldn’t continue to irritate the Democrats, or I’m worried that the Civil War could break out again.”
The Republican presidential candidate Hayes stood up and looked at all the Republicans on the scene, and said a warning in a serious tone.
Events have now gone beyond the tone of the Republicans, and the attitudes of southern states and Democrats have become unmanageable.
The American capitalists have gone too far in order to govern the Republican Party, and have completely touched the bottom line of the Democrats.
“Now the United States is still unable to resist in the face of external forces. If a civil war breaks out, it must be an unimaginable blow to the United States, and policies must be taken to deal with it.”
The current president, Grant, said that the election is not over yet. Grant is still the true president of the United States, and he still has a certain say in the Republican Party.
“America can never experience a second civil war, ?? Maybe we can make appropriate concessions.”
Although his contribution as a president was mediocre, during the Civil War, Grant was a real lieutenant general who came up step by step from the bottom.
In the later period of the war, he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Federal Army, and made great achievements repeatedly. In 1865, it attacked Richmond, forcing the Confederate army to surrender and ending the war.
What left him the deepest impression was the tragic casualty data. The war killed 750,000 soldiers and disabled 400,000 soldiers. Relevant associations estimate that the number of casualties may be higher, and an unknown number of civilians have also been affected.
It is precisely this data that is too painful for him, which caused his repeated weakness to the South during his reign. All of this is the fear of war coming again.
“Looks like we need to talk to the people in the Democrats, maybe we’ll let go of the proper entitlements and we’ll be able to satisfy the appetite of the Southerners.”
Hayes, who is also a war hero, is also afraid of this war, and the attitude of the re-elected president is surprisingly consistent.
And many other Republicans, under the two presidents’ statements, also expressed their approval one after another, although there is still a wind that is still hesitating, but there is no way to change the overall situation…
In fact, it was the strong opposition of the older generation that prevented the outbreak of the second civil war in 1876.
It was at this meeting that the Republican Party could be said to have made a series of compromises. The United States was able to avoid civil war only after it signed numerous treaties that “suffered its rights and humiliated the country.”
At the end of the meeting, Democrats agreed to accept Hayes as president.
In return, Hayes agreed to end federal support for a government controlled by radical Republicans in the South.
Hayes also pledged to appoint Southerners to the cabinet, hold key positions, provide federal aid to the South, renovate schools, build railroads, and pledge not to actively support the civil rights movement of black southerners.
The hard-won results of the Civil War, the abolition of slavery, revived with the acquiescence of the Republican Party, continue to exist in the southern states of the United States.
Even in the 1960s and 1970s, there were still a large number of black slaves in the southern United States, and a surprising number of black people still existed in cotton fields and watermelon fields.
But this time, the talks will definitely not continue in this time and space~www.readmtl.com~ Alfonso, who is familiar with this history, naturally guards against this matter.
William Tilton, a personal aide to Democratic presidential candidate Tilton, the German actually accepted bribes from the Spaniards.
Even several high-ranking generals in the U.S. Army accepted bribes from the Spaniards, and the task they received was very simple, that is, to do anything to sabotage the peace talks between the two sides.
As an assistant to the presidential candidate, William still has a certain say in the Democratic Party, if the news that part of the United States has supported the Democratic Party is passed on to Tilton.
If Tilton can be persuaded to defect, it is naturally a good thing for everyone, but if Tilton cannot be persuaded, then only extreme means can be used.
To force the start of the American Civil War…
By then, no matter what Tilton was thinking, it would no longer matter. As a representative, it is impossible for Tilton to ignore the meaning of the people below.
