Accompanied by the whistle of the train, a train carrying the family of the future Emperor of the American Empire slowly drove into the Austin Railway Station.
"Take a break..."
"stand at attention..."
"Snapped..."
Hundreds of retired soldiers smuggled from the Second German Empire in Europe lined up neatly under Johnny's command.
When he stood at attention, his feet came together, and the collision of the heels and heels made a neat and crisp sound, which made the Texas passers-by around him look sideways.
"Guard formation, run and walk!"
"One two one..."
"One two one..."
Two trains of these retired soldiers escorted a carriage toward the Austin state government.
He was obviously running forward at a trot, but his footsteps sounded as neat as if there was only one person running.
Sitting on this carriage was the future founding emperor of the American Empire—Tom Smith.
This simple carriage, escorted by soldiers, drove to the Texas State Government Building.

Inside the office of Governor James W. Throckmorton.
A well-dressed and polite male secretary walked slowly to Governor James' side.
"Governor James, there is a shabbily dressed German downstairs. He claims that he is the savior of your family. He also calls you, Mr. Governor, a cutie. He cannot be chased away."
"The savior of my whole family? You still call me cutie. Do you call me James cutie? What's his name?"
"Yes, yes, he calls you James, cutie. His name seems to be Tom or something?"
"Tom Smith?"
"Yes, that's the name. Governor James, do you really know that beggar with patches on his suit?"
Governor James, sitting in the governor's office, recalled Tom as he recalled the feeling of being dominated by fear.
"Invite him in quickly!"
"Don't go, I will go and greet him personally."
"You prepare the best drinks here, and I'll go meet him."
Governor James recalled who Tom was, stood up quickly, straightened his clothes, and ordered his secretary to prepare drinks and snacks.
Before Governor James could adjust his tie, the door to the governor's office was opened by a strong man 1.9 meters tall.
This strong man is Tom Smith’s cousin, Johnny Smith.
Johnny opened the door and took a step back. Tom walked directly into the governor's office, and Rocky followed Tom.
"No, dear James, Tom is here."
"Who are you and why did you force your way into the governor's office!"
"Dear James, do you really like men? Your secretary is not Texas-like enough."
Tom ignored the scolding of the secretary next to Governor James and went straight to the seat opposite Governor James. A group of people sat on it and stared at the handsome male secretary of the governor with interest.
"Dear James, you are the governor of our Texans, why don't you find a blond female secretary from Big Bear Valley? Why did you find a man to be your secretary?"
"He is still a fair and tender man, not bad. I approve of this taste."
When Tom commented on the appearance and figure of the male secretary-general, he licked the corners of his mouth and lips in a very coquettish manner.
"Pigu is no smaller than a woman's, no wonder he can be your personal secretary."
"Little James, do you like this? This is not Texas or Catholic enough!"
"It would be fun if word got out about someone who was not strict with his words."
"The governor of Texas is actually gay."
"Hahaha!"
Governor James, whose face was gloomy and dripping with tears, looked at Tom, who was leaning back and forth with laughter, without saying any rebuttal. The tall, sunny and handsome male secretary was the first to hold back.
In this day and age, if word spreads that the governor is gay, especially the governor of Texas.
Hundreds of thousands of people will march the next day to demand the governor's dismissal.
There will even be fanatical patriotic religious elements who assassinate Governor James and the governor's secretary.
"Where do these shameless people come from! How dare they slander and spread rumors here! Slander the governor and security guards of Texas! Drive them away..."
"Snapped!"
"Boom!"
"roll!"
Before the arrogant secretary could finish her arrogance, Governor James slapped the secretary in the face and knocked him to the ground with a kick.
The secretary glanced at Governor James with a confused face. Looking at Governor James's expression, the secretary silently got up and walked out of the office door.
The secretary who was familiar with Governor James knew what Governor James' expression just meant.
What the secretary didn't see was that Governor James saw Johnny glaring at the secretary with a murderous expression on his face.
Although it was the first time for Governor James to meet Tom, Governor James had met Johnny many times.
Johnny is a murderer!
Governor James did not want his secretary to die under Johnny's gun, so Governor James wanted to use this method to protect his secretary.
After the secretary walked out, there were only four men left in the office.
The topic was finally opened up between the two men.
"Mr. Smith? You came all the way from New York to Texas. What's the point of doing this? Are you just making a gay joke on me?"
"Governor Smith, your words are biased. I am not coming to Texas. I am going back to Texas and my hometown."
"this..."
It was indeed the first time for Governor Smith to meet this legendary "fertilizer king", but Governor James had read all the information related to Tom Smith countless times.
Governor James can confirm that Tom is a stowaway from the Second German Empire. It is definitely his first time in Texas. How could he be a Texan?
"I am a Houston, Texas native, and Texas is my forever home."
"I love my hometown deeply. I opened a factory in the Yangjiluo area just to make money and build my hometown. I endure the humiliation and bear the burden in order to better build my hometown in the future."
"My body is in Yankees, but my heart is in Texas."
"I worked hard to save money in the Yankee area. I wanted to break every penny in half and spend it just for today!"
"To build Texas! My hometown! My mother!"
"Governor James, I believe you know that I am a good capitalist who loves the state and the people, and I also know that you are a good governor who deeply loves the people of Texas."
"Governor James, let us work together to build a better Texas!"
Governor James was stunned for a moment by Tom's emotional performance. He was also wondering if the intelligence was wrong. Could it be that Tom was really a Texan?
While Governor James was still thinking about Tom's life experience, Rocky took out several documents and placed them on the governor's desk.
"Governor James, for a better tomorrow, for a better Texas, and for the people of Texas to live a better life."
"Please also take a look at these documents prepared by my boss...my boss Tom."
"Please also sign your name on the last page of each document after reviewing it."
Loki pointed to the documents on the table and pushed them one by one in front of Governor James.
Governor James opened many documents in front of him, and the titles of these documents made Governor James confused.
"Irish Capitalist", "Patriotic Factory Owner", "People-loving Entrepreneur", "Regulations on Tax Exemption for Enterprises Founded by Foreign Funds", "Public-Private Partnership State Enterprise Plan" and other documents, these names alone make Governor James more and more confused.
