June 18, 1861 AD, Richmond, capital of the Confederate States of America...?...

Although news of the Union Army's victory continued to come - first the victory of Poolesville, which completely annihilated the Union Army of the Potomac, and then the occupation of Washington, the capital of the United States of America, and Baltimore, the capital of Maryland, it was a great victory! But under the influence of thoughtful people,

It seems that the military actions of the Confederacy did not achieve the desired results, and they rejected the mediation proposed by the United Kingdom. The federal government will defend the unity of the country at all costs!

On the streets of Richmond, the lively scene of celebrating victory has just ended. There are still slogans and flags hung on the streets a few days ago. There is still a long queue in front of the recruitment point for recruiting soldiers. The public's enthusiasm has obviously not dissipated.

Go. But the talk in the streets is not about "attacking"

"Occupy New York, capture Lincoln alive" and other topics, but when the United States of America will recognize the freedom and independence of the Confederate States. This is also the hottest topic in the newspapers with the largest circulation in the Confederate States. Obviously,

What the people of the Confederate States of America wanted

Just **, and then live your life well, instead of planting the Confederate flag all over the United States... "Gentlemen! What are you still hesitating about? The main force of the northern army has been defeated by us! Washington has also become our bag.

Things in the United States! Philadelphia, New York, and Boston have all opened their doors to us... As long as we are willing, the flag of the Union will soon be planted in every corner of the United States! Gentlemen, haven't you realized the historic opportunity?

Is it right in front of us? Let us quickly use all our strength to attack..."

, during this period, he did not return to Texas to preside over government affairs, but was busy with peace talks. Of course, there was no result. But now, I don’t know what the mistake was, and he suddenly became the most fierce dictator in the South.

The war faction started.

But looking at the embarrassed expressions of everyone here, we know that overthrowing Lincoln is not very reliable. Well, the current situation, in Asia or Europe, probably does not need to be considered too much. Of course, overthrowing the federal government, and then

Instead, this is the United States! It is the United States that claims to be free and democratic. It is the United States where gun-toting mobs roam the ground and dictatorships avoid them! So follow the rules

It's a little different... But what about after overthrowing the tyranny? Replace it? Use the tyranny of President Davis to oppress the north? Is this possible? Well, if there is no problem in China. Emperor Zhu overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Then he rode on top of the 40 million Chinese people, oh, no, it was the 50 million East Asian people who were domineering and arrogant! But no one thought it was wrong. It is only natural to conquer the country and dominate the country!

But here in the United States... that's not the rule! Twenty to thirty million gun-toting mobs don't recognize this principle. Whether they are southerners or Yankees, they are used to liberalism and cannot stand the oppression of the emperor. Moreover, in their minds

They don't have the guts to worship power. Speaking of which, these guys came to the United States because they couldn't stand the anger of the European aristocracy and bourgeoisie. Davis wants to be their master, not to mention the doors, even the windows.

No.

So is it okay to be a public servant instead of a master?

This is okay, but..., he can sit in this position! If you want the president to come out of the barrel of a gun, haha, this is not Mexico! If Davis dares to do this, he will wait to be guillotined by the gun-toting mob -

—Moreover, it was the Army of Virginia that defeated the Union Army in Poolesville, not the Army of the Confederate States of America! Unlike the Northern Confederacy, the Confederate States still adhered to the concept of sovereign states, and each state had the intention to withdraw from the Union**

Power. Therefore, to be a public servant to the American people, you still have to vote.

In this way...the question arises. The population of the North of the United States is much greater than that of the South, and the number of states supporting the Union is now greater than the states participating in the Union. In other words, after the overthrow of Lincoln, if the American mob still votes

If the president and Congress are elected, then the "damn Yankees" will definitely be elected. Then...industrialization and protective tariffs will fall on the South sooner or later, and next time, the Yankees will definitely prepare for war and start another attack.

Yes, the South will most likely fail by then!

"No, no! The Confederate States have no ambitions to expand. We don't want the land in the north... all we want is independence!" He frowned and said, "This is also the request of the Union states and the people of each state! The occupation of Washington and Baltimore is just for

Forcing Lincoln to sit at the negotiating table and forcing the federal government to abide by the U.S. Constitution - the independence of the eleven southern states is in line with the constitution, there is no doubt about it! How to use the current favorable situation to force the North to accept our independence

The demand is the main content of today’s meeting.”

"The only way to force peace is through war... Now that the Lincoln administration has rejected peace talks, we can only continue to fight! Occupy Philadelphia, occupy New York, and force the people of the North to put pressure on their government. This is the only way."

Confederate Vice President Stephens frowned and said.

“Occupation… is the occupation of foreign territory?”.

“New York and Philadelphia should be considered foreign territories…The Confederate States of America and the United States of America are two countries!”.

"What about Washington, D.C., and Maryland?" Now all of Washington, D.C., is occupied by Union troops, and parts of Maryland, including the capital, Baltimore, have also become the possessions of the Union.

"The status of Washington, D.C. and Maryland...should be to be determined.", "If we can't take back West Virginia, then we should get Washington and part of Maryland and Delaware can also join the union. Of course, this will eventually

It depends on the outcome of the referendum.

In addition, we should also strive for New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, California, Kentucky, and the Indian Territory to join the Confederate States. In this way, we will have 19 states or territories, which will be enough to fight against the North and... the South in the future!"

All the high-level leaders of the Confederacy present here know that the "South" that President Davis is referring to is the Mexican Empire, as well as France and China behind this empire! The 19-state plan he just proposed already includes a large area of ​​​​the western United States and the border with Mexico.

regions, although those states or regions did not propose to join the alliance.

"Mr. President, if we want to establish such a vast Confederate States of America, then the North..." Confederate Secretary of State Toombs shook his head and said, "We must negotiate peace with the North as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for us to fight against the Union and Mexico.

empire!"

Davis nodded, "Sam, I would like to ask you to go to New York with Mr. Taylor to meet with Mr. Lincoln and clarify our position and requirements... If he does not recognize the Confederacy within a week, then we will
Chapter completed!
