In Washington, D.C., in the conference room of the Ming Embassy in the United States, Wu Chunqiu and Rong Hong, who had returned from the Bonapart estate, had long since thrown the black Zeng Ke's disappearance into the clouds. The secretary of the embassy has done some investigation, and neither the embassy nor the embassy personnel have lost anything of importance. The small room where Zengke lived was also searched, the wardrobe of the room was empty, and a small box belonging to Zengke was missing, apparently the black man had run away on his own. As for where to go, no one cares.

In the conference room, Wu Chunqiu, Rong Hong, Chen Yucheng, as well as Yang Xiuqing's representative Huang Jinhu and British Chinese tycoon Bai Siwen sat in a circle, discussing their secret mission in the United States.

Wu Chunqiu first began to introduce the current situation in the United States: "There should be these problems that plague the United States at the moment: first, the rapid rise of Mexico, Mathilde I is a foreign monk who is good at chanting scriptures, and he is not strong, but it is also in order, and behind it is Britain, France, and our three major powers, the Ming Dynasty, and now the United States is encouraging Mexico to go south is likely to quench its thirst, and maybe a powerful Mexico will really appear."

The second is the North-South dispute in the United States, and the root causes of the North-South dispute in the United States are very complex...... The slave problem is not the only reason, but the difference in the economic base between the North and the South is probably the main reason. The southern part of the United States, similar to our Lanfang, is the main agricultural product producing area exported by the United States, but the industry is not reached, the population is also less than that of the north, and the farmers engaged in cotton and tobacco production are very rich, richer than the factory owners in the northern United States. Moreover, in recent years, the tariff policy of the United States has tended to the south, which has made the factory owners in the north very dissatisfied. This time, on the issue of whether or not to join the "Quad Agreement" (including the tariffs under the agreement), the northern and southern states of the United States are again quarrelling.

Again, it's a black problem. This is another focal point of the North-South conflict in the United States, and it has always been! Before, it was because of black slaves, now because of black people. Although the North and South sides of the United States temporarily compromised, they found a plot of land in Texas to settle blacks. But that's just a cover-up. If you want to solve it thoroughly. It is bound to be accompanied by large expenses. The North of the United States is unwilling to bear it, and the South is equally unlikely to pay for it. In addition, the Americans placed blacks in the U.S.-Mexico border area of Texas. It may not be without the meaning of bringing disaster to the south. I think that's why the Americans gave Mathilde I $3ooo dollars, probably to appease Mexico.

Finally, there is the economic crisis in the United States. There are now quite a few railway companies that have failed, and many banks that have closed...... However, the impact on us Chinese is not great, and the situation in the south and west of the United States is still relatively stable. ”

Bai Siwen is a businessman, and his sensitivity to economic issues is of course over Wu Chunqiu, who has always been a diplomat, and when he heard his evaluation of the US economic crisis, he couldn't help but shake his head and interrupt: "It's not that simple, I'm afraid the impact of this economic crisis on the domestic situation in the United States has just begun!" ”

Wu Chunqiu, who was interrupted, was slightly unhappy, and frowned: "Mr. Bai, I have been in Europe and the United States for many years. Having seen many ups and downs of the economy, it's not a big deal. Especially for the United States... You must know that the per capita income of the United States is much higher than that of Europe, and there is enough land to sacrifice unemployed workers, and the price of food is very low, and there will be no such situation as the 1848 revolution. ”

"Of course, the revolution will not be, but ...... The economic crisis in the United States is likely to intensify the contradictions between the North and the South. Bai Siwen picked up the coffee cup on the table, took a sip of coffee, and said thoughtfully, "Of course, this is only a possibility. If the economic crisis does not last long, nothing may come to life. ”

Wu Chunqiu shook his head, "The economic crisis won't last long. As long as the United States joins the "Quad Agreement," trade will certainly increase significantly, and the economic crisis will be over. ”

Will it? Blasven didn't believe it in his heart -- this was the view of US President Buchanan, who believed that after the United States joined the Quad Agreement, the two major markets of Mexico and China would be completely open to American products. In this way, the problem of the industrial slump in the United States can be easily solved.

But Bai Siwen, who knows the Chinese market very well, has deep doubts about this. Because China's industrial exhibition in recent years has also been very fast! In particular, the exhibitions of steel, shipbuilding, chemical, textile and other industries can be described as gods. Not to mention American products, even cheap and high-quality British products do not have much market after being shipped to China for thousands of miles. Now China imports more than 100 million pounds a year to Europe, mainly British kimono, Indian cotton and French luxury goods. How is it possible for high-priced junk goods in the United States to be sold in China?

In addition, these years in the domestic market in the United States. It's all British goods! Almost all of the tracks and locomotives they used to build the railways were imported from England. If tariffs are lowered now, is this going to force the factory owners in the north of the United States to death?

However, Bai Swen did not say these thoughts. These things have little to do with him, and he is a pimp now...... Opening more kilns and importing more Japanese girls to sell meat is the right thing to do! I hope that the current economic crisis in the United States will not affect business in this area, and the rest will be left to rest.

Wu Chunqiu saw that Bai Siwen had nothing to say, so he looked at Chen Yucheng and Huang Jinhu, "The Empress of Mexico wants to send troops to Central America, do you want to participate in it?" ”

Golden Tiger shook his head repeatedly, "Mexico...... Poor place, no one will go! And California can't do without our people. Ambassador Wu, don't think that the southern states of the United States welcome Chinese workers, and take it for granted that California is the same. The states of the United States have a lot of power and can legislate. California may legislate to exclude Chinese at any time, without our 20,000 or 30,000 guns, our California Chinese quasi-insurance is the same as the current blacks! ”

"Are blacks miserable?" Rong Hong interjected, "It's okay to have 1 acre per capita, which is equivalent to a little more than 6 acres, and the land in Texas is quite fertile, right?" You can eat as much as you want. ”

The golden tiger sneered: "Mr. Long, you are our bitter Chinese worker when you are the black master of others?" They eat worse than pigs, they do more work than cattle, and they are reluctant to spend a few dollars when they finally save a few dollars...... People are the lives of the body slaves of the black uncle! There is no white overseer with a leather whip, and no one will work honestly! ”

"Uncle Black" is a nickname given to blacks by Chinese Americans, not because of discrimination, but because of seeking truth from facts. These black people who have nothing are really living like uncles. If you have money, you will spend it, if you have wine, you will drink it, and if you have fun, you will find it. If anyone hires them to work, and no one comes to work the day after their paycheck, these guys won't come back until they spend the last dollar in their hands!

"Those 4oo people will be concentrated in West Texas ......" Wu Chunqiu's eyes lit up, as if he had found some opportunity.

The golden tiger said: "There will be a mess!" It's a definite ...... What is not necessarily what is going to happen now is who will suffer this mess, Lao Mei...... Or Mexico! ”

"Will there be a rebellion?" Wu Chunqiu lowered his voice, "4oo people! Among them, Ding Zhuang is no less than 1oo thousand, if he really wants to make trouble, I'm afraid Lao Mei will feel good, right? ”

"I can't beat it!" The golden tiger waved his hand violently, "It's just a rabble, and they don't have a leader, if they really want to make trouble, they don't need the US federal army to go out, and the Texas militia will clean them up." ”

"What if...... Someone supplies weapons and equipment to blacks? Wu Chunqiu asked again.

Golden Tiger still shook his head: "No, it's still impossible to succeed." At most, the Confederation and the rest of the states will send troops. And even if the blacks have weapons, they can't wield much combat power. Training, Officers, Logistics, Organizational...... An army has a whole bunch of problems to solve, and it is not enough for someone to have a gun. ”

Speaking of this, Golden Tiger's face suddenly became gloomy, and he looked at Wu Chunqiu coldly: "Ambassador Wu, you don't want to use black people to make old beauty, right?" We don't want to participate in this matter! Because...... Nothing is likely to succeed! ”

Wu Chunqiu smiled and waved his hand: "No, no." I don't have the power to decide this matter......" This shallow line seems to be for Emperor Zhu to decide, right? (To be continued)
