"Tony, have you heard about it?" That day, Brian suddenly came over and asked Tangning mysteriously.
"What did you hear?" Tangning asked in confusion.
Brian leaned over and replied in a low voice: "It's the Second Civil War!"
"What?! The Second Civil War?" Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this.
Brian nodded and replied: "Yes, it was the second Civil War, because the Yankees failed to achieve their goals last time. Just like you said, they did not turn our south into their source of cheap raw materials and junk products.
It’s a dumping market, so we have to fight again!”
Although the peace talks between the North and the South and the possible aborted Franco-Prussian War were beyond Tangning's historical knowledge, he still felt that the second Civil War was unlikely, so he organized his language and said: "I think the possibility is very low, although this time
Our South suffered heavy losses during the Civil War, but the losses of those Yankees were not small either.
And the most important thing is that most people in the north do not support the civil war. They do not want to fight their own people to the death for the benefit of the capitalists. That is why people shouted "Americans will not fight Americans" during demonstrations before.
slogan!
In addition, neither the British nor the French want to see the emergence of a unified and powerful United States, so since the French have intervened this time, they will still intervene next time unless there are extremely special circumstances; as for the British, if they do not intervene again
If we encounter a food crisis, there is a high probability that we will intervene.”
"What about the Russians?" Brian interjected.
Tangning replied mysteriously: "The Russians, soon they will have too much to take care of themselves, and they will no longer have the energy to come all the way to interfere in our affairs in the United States!"
"Are you talking about the troublemaking serfs?" Brian asked curiously.
Tangning chuckled and replied, "These people are much scarier than those serfs once they cause trouble!"
In order to prevent Brian from continuing to ask about Russia, Tangning changed the subject and said, "Okay Brian, you don't have to think about the second Civil War anymore. Our land has been contracted out anyway, even if it happens again.
In the second Civil War, the worst we can do is hide in London like we did last time!"
"That's right, it really has nothing to do with us!" Brian agreed.
While the two were chatting, Heidi suddenly rushed in, grabbed Tangning and said excitedly: "Tony, you, you are going to be a father!"
Tangning was stunned for a moment, and then asked excitedly: "I, I'm going to be a father? Well, that means you."
Before Tangning could finish speaking, Heidi interrupted him: "That's right, I, I'm pregnant!"
At this time, Tangning didn't care at all when Heidi interrupted her, and murmured to herself excitedly: "Great! Great!" Although this was not the first time that Tangning became a father, the previous Caroline and
Nicole has her own children, but Heidi is different from them. This is the child who can truly inherit her family property. After all, Caroline's children will definitely not be able to inherit the family property because their mother is a black slave; and Nicole
Ke's child is illegitimate and cannot be inherited, but fortunately there is still Nicole's family property that can be inherited.
Brian on the side was also very excited: "Heidi, you, are you really pregnant?" The reason Brian was so excited was because this child represents the connection between his family and Tangning, and the blood bond is the strongest.
of!
At this time, Heidi was too excited to speak and could only nod her head!
By this time, Tangning had calmed down a little, so she quickly supported Heidi and said, "Honey, sit down quickly, you can't be too tired now! By the way, let's stop writing "Downing Abbey" for now!"
Heidi laughed dumbly and said: "Tony, I'm just pregnant, so I'm not pregnant yet, and I'm not tired just writing. On the contrary, if I have nothing to do all day long, I will get sick!"
"Okay, then, but you have to promise me that you can only write for one hour at most every day!" Tangning reluctantly agreed, and then called the butler Rob, asking him to send someone to follow Heidi at all times, and to do it every day. Supplements provide Heidi with enhanced nutrition.
After hearing this, Brian also reacted, stood up and said: "By the way, I have to go back quickly to tell my father the good news. In addition, I also have some good things there. I will send them to you Heidi later! "After that, he left in a hurry.
The mistress's pregnancy is naturally a top priority and a happy event for the entire Downing Manor, but not everyone thinks so.
That night, Isabel whispered to Caroline: "Caroline, what do you think I should do? I have been with my master for ten years, and I often sleep with him, but why can't I get pregnant?"
Caroline advised: "Don't worry, Isa. Not only you, but Holly and the others are also pregnant with the master's child. After so many years, only Madam, Mrs. Nicole and I have become pregnant with the master's child." My child. And you can see that your figure is still so good, your skin is still so smooth, and your master still likes you so much, so you still have a chance!"
Then he sighed and said: "Actually, now that Madam has a child, I will start to worry about Michael!"
"What are you worried about? Don't the master and his wife like Michael very much?" Isabel asked in confusion.
Caroline shook her head and replied: "It's normal for the master to like Michael, after all, this is his child; Madam only likes Michael as a child, and she has her own child now, especially when her child When I grow up, I will definitely not be as kind to Michael as I am now!"
"Why, is Madam still worried that Michael will take away the master's property?" Isabel said with a dumb smile.
Caroline explained: "This lady will definitely not be worried, and the master will definitely not do this, but then the lady will definitely treat Michael differently than she does now. Oh, Isa, you don't have children, it's hard to understand being a mother." This kind of mentality!”
But then Caroline realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly added: "I said the wrong thing, Caroline. I believe you will understand this feeling soon!"
Then he changed the topic and said: "So I plan to wait until the wife's child reaches the age of five or six and is sensible, then I will apply to the owner to move Michael to Brazil!"
