"The guns are unanimous, Mexico belongs to us Americans!"
""
Listening to the familiar slogans on the street, Tang Ning couldn't help but miss the anti-Japanese drama she watched before time travel. It was annoying at the time, but now she actually thinks about it.
Originally, Tangning thought that organizing anti-war demonstrations in New York was a very dangerous thing, so he made quite thorough and even complicated preparations. However, after the actual operation, he found that it was actually very simple, because there were many Americans who were anti-war.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is right. After all, the Civil War was a civil war, and Americans were fighting Americans. Although it can be explained from the perspective of capitalist development, this reason is actually not fair and square, and we cannot openly shout
"In order to develop industrialization, farmers can only suffer." Oh, no, it should be "In order to develop industrialization, the South must position itself as a supplier of cheap raw materials and a dumping ground for inferior industrial products; in order for the United States to become the world's number one beacon,
You red necks, please bear with me!"
Secondly, for the common people, war is a bad thing. If it is a foreign invasion, they can still share the same hatred with the enemy. But now you are in a civil war, so it is difficult for the common people to accept it. Everyone is a member of the family, what is the problem?
If you can't sit down and have a good discussion, do you have to fight against each other and let outsiders laugh at you?
As for the awe-inspiring slogans of liberating black slaves, most of them are used for external propaganda, because most American people simply do not accept that black people have equal rights with themselves. Racial discrimination has not been solved even in 2022, let alone 1962.
So as the war progressed, when Tang Ning sneaked into New York for the second time, she found that all she had to do was fuel the fire behind the scenes and help them make up a few slogans.
Of course, Tang Ning came to New York for more than just this purpose. Another important thing was to cooperate with Morgan to make money. Moreover, this was the last opportunity he knew to make money during the Civil War, so he had to seize it.
Seeing Tangning's arrival, Morgan was very excited. He grabbed his hand and said, "Tony, you're finally here. I've already collected 8 million in gold. When will we start hyping it up?"
Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "We don't need to hype this time. Someone will naturally raise the price of gold!"
"We don't need to hype it up, who is it?" Morgan asked quickly.
But Tangning did not answer directly. Instead, she took out a check and handed it to Morgan and said, "John, lend me another one."
Before Tang Ning could finish her words, Morgan grabbed the check and said, "According to the amount on this, I will lend you another sum. Tell me, who is it?"
"John, you should know that the warships used by our Southern Army to break through your Northern Army's blockade were all built by British shipyards. For this reason, the White House protested to the British government through Ambassador Adams, and the British government has agreed.
, but there is a prerequisite, that is, the US government must provide one million pounds in compensation to compensate for the losses caused by the suspension of work at various British shipyards!" Tangning replied slowly. (This shows that one million pounds is indeed a huge amount of money.
, Mark Twain did not write blindly.)
"But what does this have to do with the gold we hoarded?" Morgan asked anxiously.
Tangning explained: "John, don't worry. Think about how there are so many pounds in the national treasury, so gold must be used for settlement. Now Peabody Company is responsible for raising this million pounds of gold, so
You just need to keep an eye on Peabody Company and the price of gold recently. Once the price of gold rises, sell it immediately and you will definitely make a big profit!"
"But why did you know about it two months ago? And why did you let me start buying gold?" Morgan asked in confusion.
In fact, since the last time he made a war fortune, Morgan also realized the importance of battlefield news, so he spent a lot of money to hire Smith, a former operator of the Telegraph Bureau of the War Department, from his family business, because Smith's friend Vinnier was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army.
Grant's telegraph secretary, so he often gets the news first, but he has no idea about such important news.
Of course Tangning couldn't tell him because she was a time traveler, so don't talk about what will happen in two months, I know what will happen in two or twenty years, but she still said perfunctorily: "How can I do such a thing?"
You may know it in advance, but the price of gold will fluctuate greatly during the war, so you will definitely not suffer a loss if you prepare for the price in advance!"
Morgan thought that Tangning was unwilling to tell her source of information, so he had no choice but to reply: "Okay, if I can make money this time, I will hoard some more after the gold price stabilizes!"
Then he changed the subject and said to Tangning: "By the way, Tony, did you know? Jonathan has joined the army!"
"It's normal. Many of my friends have joined the army, and some have even died!" Tang Ning replied disapprovingly.
"Normal? Do you think it's normal for him to join your Confederate Army?" Morgan asked in surprise.
"What?! You said Jonathan joined our Southern Army?" Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed.
Morgan nodded and replied: "Of course, otherwise why would I tell you this!"
"It seems that this guy really thinks of himself as a Southerner. He is trying too hard to protect the pastoral pastoral in his mind!" Tangning sighed, and then recalled that Jonathan told her that he wanted to become a true Southerner.
Scenes of human time.
"Then those friends who followed him to New Orleans to buy a manor also joined the Confederate Army?" Tangning asked again.
Morgan shook his head without hesitation and replied: "No, Carol and the others returned to New York immediately!"
"Well, it seems that there are still a normal number of people," Tang Ning muttered.
Then he said: "If possible, you should persuade him. After all, war is too dangerous!"
Morgan sighed and said, "I've tried to persuade him a long time ago, but Jonathan didn't listen at all!"
A few days later, Peabody Company indeed bought a large amount of gold, causing the price of gold to skyrocket. Morgan took the opportunity to sell out and made a huge profit. As a result, he trusted Tangning even more, but also stepped up his investigation of him, and even sent people to
London investigates him.
PS: I found that since the animation of "Mortal Cultivation of Immortality" became popular, fanfics about mortals have also begun to increase. When I scanned the list yesterday, I saw several of them. In fact, this is a good phenomenon, because there are many supporting characters in Mortals with characteristics.
, and there are many side plots in the human world that Wangyu may not have written thoroughly due to some concerns, so there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.
