There are two Americas in the world!
One is the United States of America and the other is the Confederate States of America.
In 1866, the five-year Civil War did not produce a winner. If there was one, it was the Confederate States of America, that is, the Southern Confederacy.
The protracted civil war neither preserved the unity of the United States nor liberated the black slaves. It only caused the division of the United States—the United States’ territory was reduced by nearly two million square kilometers.
But even so, the United States still has a vast land of nearly 6 million square kilometers, and 35 million people live in this land. After the civil war, as usual in history, the development of the United States has embarked on a fast track, and history may change.
A lot has been done, but it has not affected the development of the United States.
In the fifth year since the end of the Civil War, and as the United States seemed to have entered the "Gilded Age," Washington had never forgotten.
Forgot something?
Of course, the reality is that the country is divided.
"There is only one America in the world!"
During the election of the United States in 1868, George McClellan declared this. Although in the election of 1864, he and they demanded an immediate end to the Civil War, regardless of whether the North and South would be divided forever. Although in the negotiations of 1865, he had insisted
But in the end, in order to end the war, he chose to compromise and recognized the independence of the South.
However, when George McClellan was re-elected, he would always emphasize that "there is only one America in the world." Then what?
"Under the conspiracy of certain countries, the United States has fallen into tragic divisions!"
Who are some of the countries McClellan talks about?
There is France, and of course there is Nanhua, which is now the Ming Dynasty. Even Washington's hostility to the Ming Dynasty is far greater than that of France, which once verbally expressed support for the south. After all, the support of the French is only verbal, but what about Nanhua?
But it sold hundreds of millions of arms to the South. In the eyes of many people, if there were not those ghost ships in Nanhua that transported large amounts of arms and supplies to the South, maybe the United States would not be divided.
Nanhua is simply the culprit for the division of the United States! How can they not hate such a culprit?
But what's the use of hating it to the core?
In the past, South China was too far away from the United States, and Americans just complained. But now it is different. Ming Dynasty has actually become a neighbor of the United States!
London conspiracy!
At the end of 1870, this statement was widely circulated in the political circles in Washington. Almost as soon as Britain made the decision to sell British Columbia to the Ming Dynasty, American politicians immediately became aware of the British conspiracy.
"They want to use a colony to intensify the conflicts between us and South China, and then provoke conflicts between us and South China!"
This is a well-known thing. Although they knew that this was an American conspiracy, when the "Great Eastern" immigration ship brought more than 26,000 Chinese immigrants to the Beihai Governorate, the Americans were shocked and felt
More fear.
"Mr. President, the arrival of this ship has made the entire West, from California to Oregon, feel unprecedented fear!"
Senator John Miller sat in the Oval Office, looked at George McClellan and said, as a die-hard anti-China element, the Chinese Exclusion Act he submitted was passed eleven years later. In this
In time and space, he not only discriminated against the Chinese, but was also full of hostility.
"If we can't stop them, then there will be a disaster waiting for us. Mr. President, there are only 500,000 people in California, only a few hundred thousand people in Oregon, and only more than one million people in the entire West. It only takes ten years.
, it may even take only five years, we will have to face a yellowed west, and the Chinese will continue to land from Vancouver, and then penetrate into our country from there and occupy our land."
California Senator Adam on the side echoed.
"There are 100,000 Chinese living in California. Mr. President, if we can't stop them, maybe in more than ten years, we will have to face a yellow California."
All American politicians are worried about this problem, especially those in the west. Of course, McClellan knew this very well.
"But how can we stop their immigration from entering their land? Vancouver, that is their land, we can't ask them to stop bringing in immigrants from China!"
McClellan's tone was full of helplessness. Although he was full of hostility to the Ming Dynasty's acquisition of British Columbia, no matter what, it was now the Ming Dynasty's territory, and the United States had no way to intervene!
"Mr. President, therefore, we must from now on prohibit the Chinese from entering the west, including the Ming Dynasty people, prohibit them from granting citizenship, prohibit them from owning land, and prohibit companies from employing them. Only in this way can we fundamentally ensure that the west will always belong to
U.S,"
Looking at the thoughtful president, John Miller added.
"I have drafted corresponding legislation and will submit it to Congress for discussion in the near future. Mr. President, if we do not want the United States to be divided again, we must fundamentally prevent the Chinese from entering the west."
"However, this does not help change the reality."
Secretary of State Clayton said straightforwardly.
“The problem now is that we have less than one million people in the entire west, and the Ming Dynasty’s immigration rate far exceeds ours. There are hundreds of millions of Chinese in China who want to escape war and hunger, and they will continue to take advantage of them.
When the ship arrives in Vancouver, there may be millions or even tens of millions of Chinese people there in the future, but the population in our west is very limited!"
This is why the United States is concerned about the arrival of 26,000 Chinese immigrants in Vancouver. In just a few years, the number of Chinese in western North America will exceed that of Europeans. Faced with such a situation, how could they not be panicked?
"Yes, Mr. Secretary, this is the reality we have to face, and that's why we need to ban them from our lands."
John Miller nodded and said.
"Of course, what's more important is immigration. We must imitate the Ming Empire and use high-density immigration ships to transport immigrants from Europe. Only when white people occupy all the land in the west can we stop the Chinese from occupying those lands. Only by bringing more
The introduction of Europeans into the United States will prevent the United States from becoming a country of yellow people. Of course, only in this way can we stop the invasion from the Ming Empire in the future!"
The invasion of the Ming Empire in the past few months, ever since they learned that they would be bordering the Ming Dynasty, the United States has been extremely excited. After all, in their eyes, the Ming Empire is quite expansionist. Not only are they
Supporters of the Confederacy, and blindly expanding the land, they destroyed two countries one after another, making Chile and Argentina a thing of the past.
The United States is really worried about being a neighbor to such an "expansionist" country!
After John Miller and other senators left, McClellan looked at the grass outside the window and asked.
"Creston, it seems that you also support them in submitting the bill, right?"
"What I support is not the plan they are proposing. What I support is the future of the United States of America."
Creston said in a rather calm tone.
"As we all know, if we can't stop them, maybe we won't have any future at all, because eventually we will have to face the fact that the tide of yellow people will annex our west, and then they will
If the entire United States is dyed yellow, will we still have a choice at that time?"
"The Sword Comes"
When Claxton mentioned all this, his expression was heavy, because this is the future that is visible to the naked eye.
After a moment of silence, he continued.
"Beyond this, we seem to have no other choice. The only question is how the Ming Empire will respond to us!"
