【432】The Earl Falls from the Horse(1/2)

In other words, Benson's change of party this time is just right. As long as the Democratic Party wins the next presidential election, he will be a great contributor to support him. Who will come to settle the old accounts with him?

Perhaps, the military headquarters might want to curry favor with him...

Various reasons, Prince Aza's promise, Bekanzhu's analysis, and Benson's unwillingness finally led to this result: Colonel Benson transformed into a vanguard of justice against the Count and the anti-Harrison government!

To be a pioneer, you must have a spear. A spear that does not require stabbing but must be terrifying!

In order to prepare this "spike", Benson naturally needed some time to prepare. After he sharpened it, the spear stabbed out of the bitter cold, which happened to be when Long Hao led his people to counterattack.

On June 26, 1892, Long Hao, who had been missing for many days, appeared in San Francisco, summoned media from all sides, and vowed to go on a war to encircle and suppress the Xia Bo army.

On the same day, Colonel Benson made a public appearance in Seattle and invited several newspapers to a high-profile... The initiator of the crisis was not dead, and this alone caused a significant public opinion earthquake.

Then, the Greater Western United States began a "double-man turn" centered on these two people. The two protagonists who bombarded the crisis a month ago have now changed positions, but the sensation caused remains.

On June 27, the "Baidao Volunteer Army" led by Long Hao attacked Xiabo's headquarters at the foot of Entney Mountain, annihilated more than 800 enemies and killed 19 officers above the lieutenant.

On the same day, Colonel Benson announced the establishment of the Federal West Sea Fleet, recruiting soldiers from the four major states on the West Coast of the United States. He also showed a secret message from the military department, which said that Congress asked Benson to siege the San Francisco Harbour at all costs, and

Secret order to capture the Count of the North Sea!

Benson's announcement, the sensational effect completely overshadowed the victory of the Volunteers and fell into the eyes of ordinary people. This is a shocking gossip!

It turned out that the bombardment crisis was fabricated by His Excellency the President. Before that, we thought Congress was innocent and thought it was all caused by Benson's willful reckless trouble.

Now I think about it. Without the president's secret order and without the permission of the military headquarters, Benson was just a colonel, so how could he have the courage to block the international harbor of a big city?

When they fell into the ears of the White House, they wanted to fly to Seattle, grab Benson, peel it, and cook it in the oil pan!

Too shameless!

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless and shameless person!

"Wolson, how did you review people like Benson? How could you hand over the Western Navy of the Federation to him? It's too despicable. It would be fine if you didn't get the Earl of the North Sea with six first-class battleships.

Now he fled back to Seattle and actually bite us back? You all tell me, when will the Congress secretly ask him to provoke the Earl of North Sea? When will the military department allow him to contact the British fleet and blockade the federal city ports? Forged secret telegrams

, it is outrageous to bewitch the people, it is so annoying..."

Faced with the aggressive economic sanctions in Europe, President Harrison has been miserable in recent times and almost resigned. Fortunately, his staff members advised him to wait a little longer, and perhaps he would be able to do anything bad.

But unexpectedly, before the good thing was waiting, Benson's counterattack came!

This blow made the Congress and the Military Department represented by Harrison and Waltson.

On June 28, the North Island Volunteers gathered the 11-city coalition forces east of Los Angeles, defeating the main force of the traversing Xia Bo team again, annihilated 1,300 enemies, and killed 36 non-commissioned officers.

Coincidentally. On the same day, Benson released the important news again in Seattle: He wanted to reveal the real reason for the failure of the Great Miracle Sun Battle, that is... The Earl of North Sea received special funding and sank six of his own battleships with a special marine warship!

Similar to previous news, the version that ordinary people heard was: Wow, a special marine warship! So powerful, it can actually sink the undefeated war god on the ocean - the iron armored battleship! The Count of the North Sea is mighty!

What senior officials are concerned about is: Special funding? Which party sponsors the Earl of North Sea? What are the special marine warships? Are some for sale?

Although more than 20 days have passed, the truth of that battle has always plagued the hearts of senior officials from all walks of life.

Especially the major European powers: what are the mysterious weapons that can easily defeat battleships? If you don’t understand, how can our maritime hegemony be maintained? How can the security of our colonies be guaranteed?

Benson's remarks that he wanted to speak and still stopped scratching the nerve that was the itchiest in their hearts. Three days after the news was released, various forces and representatives from all countries went to Seattle through various channels.

Anyway, it was all in the Great Western United States. It was not a big trouble to go to Seattle after leaving California, where the war was still ongoing.

The efforts of these representatives have achieved results. When JMW came to an end, they already knew that this special funding did not come from some mysterious force, but... the United States!

USA?

When I first heard this answer, the representatives of various forces expressed the same expression as readers. They were first shocked, and then they felt that they were being fooled!

Anyone may support the Earl of North Sea, but... the probability of belonging to the United States is the lowest!

As we all know, since the discovery of gold mines in Alaska, the White House led by Harrison wanted to hang Long Hao onto the Statue of Liberty and whip it. How could it be that it could fund him?

Besides, the United States' technical strength is more than a little behind Europe. How could it be possible to build a killer weapon that can kill battleships?

Even if the technology originated from Italy, it is much more reliable than the United States!

After all, it was also the birthplace of the Renaissance and the residence of the Pope.

However, when they got Benson's further answer, they became much more relieved.

It turns out that this ‘America’ does not refer to the White House, but to the opposition: the Democratic Party!

Representatives of all forces are extremely smart people. As long as they give some clues and do not need to explain them, they will automatically make up for it.

The Democratic Party has always been incompatible with the Republican Party. Now that the election is approaching, it is understandable that they choose Long Hao as the funding target, and it is also obvious that they are separated from the Republican Party represented by Harrison.

In the opposite direction, it is precisely because Long Hao's "backstage" is the Democratic Party. Therefore, it is reasonable for the White House to issue a "secret order" to kill Earl of North Sea to Benson.

The only thing that is difficult to explain is when the Democratic Party had a strong military ‘R&D power’ and developed a mysterious marine warship that even the battleships could be destroyed?

After unremitting indirect attacks, these delegates finally received reliable news: the Democratic Party was secretly supported by many European arms chaebols, with a simple purpose, and was preparing to launch a second American Civil War, trying to reverse the results of decades ago!

You should know that the result of the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865 was very inconsistent with the interests of European countries. A democratic, free, and powerful United States was something these old powers were unwilling to see.

A "Great America" ​​led by a large manor and a large slave owner is what the European powers expected. North America is so big, it is better to use it as a dumping market and a raw material production base. People like Lincoln will appear less often.

It will make the blue sky bluer and the sea bluer!

Such a result undoubtedly convinced the representatives of all parties. The goal they guessed in their hearts became: which arms chaebol was so good that they could actually develop such a maritime killer. I have to report it to the government soon (Emperor)

), ask them to be vigilant!

The representatives of all forces were satisfied. But Goloft Cleveland, who realized it later, was so angry that he almost broke his lower teeth!

Benson, you, a messenger, have you actually spread rumors about me?!

As the leader of the party, Cleveland naturally knew that his party had not received any funding from European arms chaebols, and there was no secret warship sponsorship to the Earl of North Sea!

If there is that thing, you should arm your navy first. How could you hand it over to a boy from the East?

That's too irresponsible for the security of the Federation!

But by the time Cleveland thought of clarification, the June quagmire battle had ended for several days, and no matter what he said, it would not change the fact that the Democrats supported the Earl of North Sea in JMW.

The more you defend yourself, others will only feel that Cleveland wants to cover up, and there must be something shameful between the Democratic Party and Long Hao!

The Democratic Party’s influence on the situation in the middle and late stages of JMW cannot be underestimated. Party leader Cleveland gave a speech in several cities in the west, denying the mistakes made by Congress in this local war!

His purpose is very simple, which is to force Harrison to step down early and even lose his qualification to run for the next president.

However, when Colonel Benson made such a fuss, others would only feel that since the bombardment crisis, Cleveland was actively planning to take advantage of the war to shoot the deadliest arrow at the White House led by Harrison!

Therefore, although jmw prompted the Republican Party led by Harrison to lose a big loss, the Democratic Party’s impression of other ‘sensible people’ is not good.

For the sake of the party's own selfishness, the "national weapon" was sold privately to outsiders, which also caused the most important state in the western part of the country to fall into war, and the lives were tragic. Most importantly, the consequences of this local war were given to the European powers.

The excuse gave the United States a severe economic sanction.

Economic sanctions are certainly a double-edged sword that hurts the enemy and oneself, but for the emerging powers of the United States, which is in the stage of rapid development, the losses are undoubtedly the greatest!

It feels so big that Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont and other consortiums feel like they are cutting off a piece of meat.

Therefore, these super consortiums have a very bad impression of the Democratic Party. It can be said that even if Cleveland becomes the next US president, these bigwigs will most likely secretly make trouble.

Not to mention the mute eating berberine for the time being, let’s continue to pay attention to the ending of jmw.

On June 30, the Volunteers, the 11-city coalition forces and the Cuban Expeditionary Force jointly surrounded the remaining forces of the Xiabo team at the junction of California and Arizona, and carried out the final clearance battle.

The battle situation was one-sided. After the previous failures, Xia Bo's troops were disintegrated. This time, facing the three forces, they were about to collapse, and resistance was almost zero.

The supreme commander Xia Bo was captured. Nearly 2,000 remaining people were killed and one-fifth of them were killed and one-sixth of them fled. The rest all put down their weapons and announced their surrender.

At this point, the June Mire Campaign ended, and the 338e elite division of Xia Bo's troops lost its number and disappeared in the US military sequence.

Unless someone is kind to rebuild it, the shameful number 338e can only be seen in history books.

The war came to an end, and the following was the complicated and trivial finishing work. For example, identifying prisoners of war, escorting senior officers, liquidating and collecting property, rebuilding areas damaged by war, gathering homeless refugees, etc. These work are time-consuming and labor-intensive, not just one

It can be completed day and night, and the whole month was normal... However, these are not what Long Hao's soldiers have to consider.

They carried forward their style and handed over these things that could earn points but not much risk to the 11-city coalition commanded by the Democrats. The volunteers withdrew to San Francisco, and the Cuban Expeditionary Force with the Spanish flag was even more obedient.

With one stitch and one thread and one command, he directly withdrew back to Mexico.

Such a strange thing naturally has a reason, because... In the last battle, the Earl of Beihai accidentally fell off the horse and injured his spine. He is still unconscious!

The news was blocked tightly. It was not until July 5 that there was a little less news. During this period, it happened that Cleveland classmates issued a clarification statement telling the media that the Democrats did not fund the Earl of North Sea.

Earl of North Sea was injured in the battle?

Is it possible to stay in bed for life?

Has a generation of young heroes become vegetative?

Is it an unfortunate? Or a conspiracy?

...

Various newspapers rushed to report this shocking news, while Cleveland classmates were tragic. No one believed his clarification statement in Salem, but was considered to be a big deal. Perhaps the strange injury of the Earl of North Sea was related to

He has a lot of connection!

Otherwise, how could the Earl of Beihai, the leader of the Volunteer Army, fall off the war horse during the great victory?

Is it a horse going crazy? Or is it a human being?
To be continued...
