【572】The United States is divided(1/2)
Take back a little, and you will reduce the loss a little!
Secondly, debt owing has led to a nationwide national debt run. Although the police force finally suppressed it with brute force, the dissatisfaction of the people within the federal government continued to rise, and there were constant marchs everywhere, and violent conflicts were also accompanied by.
It can be said that since its establishment, the United States, a country that claims freedom, has never experienced such social chaos. The government's prestige has been severely weakened and the people no longer trust the White House!
Third, the four western state alliance of the United States has taken action and expanded to eight states, and the reason why it grew was due to the unlucky US government.
Isn’t the United States experiencing a deficit crisis? The White House’s first move is to impose taxes on various states to respond to emergency responses.
It doesn't matter if the White House does this normally, but now there are problems. The states and prefectures are not fools. The United States is different now than during World War II. More than 40 states and prefectures are of franchise nature, but they are not unprecedentedly united after World War II.
United States'.
Therefore, if you ask me to increase taxes, shouldn’t I try my best to avoid it?
So, four states near the west announced their separation from the Federation and joined the four states in the West.
The New York Times recorded on May 2, 1895: "This day is the day of mourning for the American people and the day of shame for the American spirit of freedom. The Federation was completely divided and divided into two parts!
It is of no use to the United States. Do you have to have another civil war and another east-west war after the Civil War to bring the United States back to life?”
Historical events always show similarity in different spatial scenes at the same time.
China has the northern and southern Qing dynasties, while the United States has actually split into two parts: east and west.
The Western Union is actually quite unfair. The day they announced their official independence was on May 16th. It was after the New York Times published the report of the wailing or fighting manifesto.
To some extent, the Western Conference is more like being forced to rebel!
The independence of the Western Union has made the United States even worse.
The White House cannot tolerate it, nor can the military headquarters, and the war is about to break out.
On May 20, US President Cleveland issued the Declaration on Defense of the Federal Republic in Washington. In less than 24 hours after that, a total of 220,000 US Federal Army troops rose to the camp and marched westward.
On May 21, the Western Union elected Leland Stanford as the first president of the Western Union. The president ordered a 60,000 army to travel to the Green River, a tributary of the Colorado River, to prepare for the attack of the Federal Army.
On June 1st, the horn blew up, and the first confrontation between the United States and the Western Union started on the banks of the Green River. Both sides each invested 10,000 troops, equipped with thermal weapons, and fought on the plains.
This was the second American Civil War after the Civil War. After decades, I would like to mention anything else, but the way of observing alone has become much more advanced.
More than a thousand war correspondents poured into the battlefield.
Journalists from different camps have different opinions on this East-West confrontation.
Simply put, the New York Times recognized the federal advantage, while the San Jose Courier believed that the Western Union would win.
The two opposing speculations were quickly distinguished from the results of the battle.
The Western Union defeated the Union Army. Although the number of soldiers was small, the Western Union's weapons were obviously better than the Union Army. Moreover, the heavy-duty car group that appeared at the end of the war also crushed the Union Army.
The Federal Army had no choice but to face such a heavy car that was "invulnerable" and the defeat was an inevitable result.
The defeat occurred and the pictures were reported. All parties were surprised to find that the wheels under this heavy car were actually wrapped in tracks.
The prototype of the tank appeared on the land battlefield in advance because of this US-East-West confrontation.
With tracks, cars can be unobstructed in any terrain!
Infantry will become the target of being slaughtered!
After piercing the window paper, the US Military Department slapped his head and regretted: Why didn’t I expect it?
Cars and small gun barrels do not require rails and cement roads to move. DMG's cars have been in the eastern market for a while, so why haven't we seen the hidden war threats?
No matter how the US Military Department held the technicians accountable, in short, the Western Union won a complete victory in the first battle against the federal offensive, and the front line advanced to Denver, and the entire Colorado became the territory of the Western Union.
On June 18, the Western Union launched a tentative attack on Kansas. Although he had the assistance of heavy vehicles, he still suffered a minor setback.
This kind of setback is inevitable.
The Eastern Federation is far better than the formerly barren western region, both in population and industrial foundation.
This gap cannot be filled by dozens of heavy cars.
The federal army learned from the failure of the Battle of Green River and gave up the idea of competing with the Western Union in the Plainlands.
They held the fortress and used fortress cannons to stop the offensive of the Western Union.
There were some problems with the logistics of the Western Union. After communicating with Melissa, Lelan Stanford resolutely withdrew his troops.
The first confrontation between the Federation and the Western Union lasted only a month and came to an abrupt end. The combined loss of troops between the two sides was only 40,000.
But this confrontation has historical milestone significance.
The failure of the Federation's attack on the Western Union means that the independence of the Western Union has become a fait accompli.
It wasn't that the Federation did not want to attack, but after leaving the fortress, no soldier was willing to face the terrifying heavy cars.
Because that is not called war, it is called death.
Therefore, the two sides tacitly used the border between Colorado and Kansas as the ceasefire line.
The east is still a federal state, but there are eleven states in the west, all of which belong to the newly established Western Union.
America, which had been established for a full 120 years, was completely divided into two countries at this moment.
The results that were not achieved in the Civil War were finally realized decades later.
This result was traced back to the source by later historians and unanimously believed that it was destined at the time when Long Hao solved the Benson fleet three years ago.
The Federation wanted to move Long Hao, giving him the excuse to root himself in the west. Next, the Federation failed repeatedly to "encircle" Long Hao, and even built a step further to fall into the abyss!
It can be said to be nozuonodie!
The armistice was coming. But the White House was quite dissatisfied.
There is a reason for this dissatisfaction.
The Eastern Federation (hereinafter referred to as the United States as the Eastern Federation) is superior to the Western Union in all aspects, and it is simply because of an unexpected heavy car that disrupts all steps!
This has caused the ceasefire to split the country, which is definitely a mistake!
In order to recover the wrong result caused by this mistake, Dongbon changed the president. In July, Theodore Roosevelt took the supreme political stage with the support of the two John families.
Roosevelt was a staunch anti-Long Hao faction. Logically speaking, according to the New York Times speculation, the second East-West confrontation should be not far away.
However, what surprised everyone was that Roosevelt's first move after taking office was to organize peace talks with Western Union to end the fierce and hostile confrontation between the two sides.
Roosevelt told reporters from the San Jose Courier: "The last president made many mistakes in handling Western affairs, which led to the current situation. What the new White House has to do is not make mistakes again and again, but know the mistakes.
Just change it!”
July 20th. The legal status of the Western Union was recognized by the Eastern State.
At this point, as a country, the Western Union, even its "enemy" East State recognized this fact.
Roosevelt's policies were later considered wise, and the American people were actually very tired of war, especially such wars that had no benefit in fighting.
Although there are various contradictions in Dongbang and Western Union, aren’t they originally a family?
Why bother to fight?
In August, the North American mainland returned to peace and various trade activities returned to normal order. For ordinary people, they did not feel the impact of Western Union independence, and their lives were still the same as usual.
Even the people in the east gradually discovered that many of the frequently purchased goods were a little cheaper!
For example, beauty’s cosmetics and daily necessities;
For example, high-efficiency medicines from Meihao Chemical Factory;
For example, various cars produced by DMG;
For example, Zhongshan Soul’s people-friendly brand;
...
According to the current affairs weekly published by the San Jose Messenger branch in New York, the price of goods dropped because of the cancellation of part of the tax on goods transporting from the west to the east.
This part of the tax was originally imposed on these goods by the White House and the Federal Military Department.
Although Long Hao had previously signed a tax-free clause clearly stated in the treaty signed with the federal government, these clauses are always discounted when implemented below.
In order not to intensify relations with the White House, the merchants owned by Longhao paid these "gray" taxes, so the prices of goods will naturally increase.
This disclosure made the eastern people even more dissatisfied with the original Cleveland government. On the contrary, their support for the new Roosevelt administration increased.
The Roosevelt administration implemented this peace policy well. In the second half of 1895, mainland America was spending steadily, and the total economic output was high.
Taking this opportunity, Western Union's capital... or Long Hao's capital quickly penetrated into the eastern United States, which was previously "strictly guarded".
Not only is it an invasion of goods, but it also has the construction of power block charging stations.
By the way, after the 'Green River Battle', DMG's cars were selling better and better. Even though the prices were still high, the powerful people in the east were willing to pay for it.
After all, it is a product tested by war, which is safe and reliable, and for ordinary people, they can’t buy military supplies even if they want to!
The blooming of charging stations is increasingly forcing the market for oil products to shrink. By the end of 1995, the poor oil king Rockefeller had already fallen to a situation where he could only sell oil to trains and military warships.
The bright future of oil was corrupted by alchemy biological products!
Because of peace, so investment, because of the breadth of investment, the alchemy farm actually opened to the east coast of the United States!
This is authorized by Long Hao. Dongbang's decline has already begun, and he is not afraid of opening up the alchemy creatures to the world!
