Chapter 113: Public opinion is raging! Curse from Thomson!
"Oh! Lord Almighty! β
"Great!"
"Hooray!"
"Praise be to God!"
On the docks of Manhattan, all the citizens of New York came out, and when they saw the sinking of the Minnesota, they all boiled, raised their hands in the air, cheered loudly, and even sang and danced!
Because this victory is simply too happy, you must know that the people who were bombarded before were panicked, and it was originally a great revolution...... In fact, many people know that this is an act of treason, and Washington will definitely do something, and now.
We won!
Won even at sea!
You must know that at this time there were far fewer ships in New York Harbor than before, and many of the capitalists were afraid of the iron fist of the proletariat, and many of them ran away. So, the seaport, which was originally very busy, is now very clean, of course, and it is necessary to do business without fear of death, but after all, there are a few.
In other words, there are not many ships, but now we have killed the warships of the Federation in a naval battle!
What a miracle this is? It's a miracle, isn't it?
"Clint. Plum! He is the one who leads us forward! β
"That's right! Thank you! Clint. Mr. Lee! β
"Clint. Plum! Clint. Plum! Clint. Plum! β
It wasn't long before the citizens of New York began chanting as if someone was leading the way. Lee's name, there were even a lot of people gathered around the docks, because of Clint. Lee is here.
"Oooo
"Look! Clint. Plum! β
"Mr. Li! You are the supreme leader of the New York Revolution! β
When Li Mengyang appeared, the whole celebration came to a climax.
"......" Li Mengyang could only smile and wave. As for the rest, he couldn't do much.
"Mr. Li! You be the commander! β
"That's right! Be the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army! β
"Only Mr. Li can lead us!"
"Oooo
The crowd is passionate. This is going to nominate Li Mengyang as the highest military commander.
In fact. There is no need for them to nominate him, Li Mengyang is also the highest military commander, because in fact, the main force of the revolutionary army at this time, that is, the most capable of fighting among the 10,000 people, is Matthew's subordinates, that is, the group of Irish, and now there is a team of more than 1,000 people, and this team is naturally under Li Mengyang's orders.
But though. I didn't know this problem before, you know, there is a huge obstacle here, that is, the race problem!
Yes, Li Mengyang's face, he is a Chinese!
Don't think that the concept of 'non-ethnic groups must be different' only exists in the minds of us Chinese, the concept of white people is actually deeper, otherwise they can make slavery?
But now, one miracle after another, Clint . Lee is really amazing. Such a person, he came to be the supreme commander in the military. It doesn't seem to be a problem, and ah, he's culturally and intellectually, it's all too good.
"The Picture of Dorian Gray," The Condition of the American Working Class...... All of these things prove that Clint. Li is an excellent literati, such a person is in charge of the barrel of a gun, at least he will not be a butcher, right?
The people feel safe!
More and more people gathered, and the docks in New York were blocked.
"Comrades!" Li Mengyang had no choice but to speak, "I need to go see our naval officers now!" And we have to look at the salvaged Federal Navy, they are just soldiers, we are victorious, but like a gentleman. β
Obviously, Li Mengyang has military affairs in his body.
"Dear Sir! Your words and deeds are noble! β
"Make way for Mr. Li!"
"Comrades! Let's go to the city hall! I'm going to talk to those old men! Mr. Li should be our commander-in-chief! β
"Yes!"
"Let's go!"
Well, it's interesting, the great revolutionary masses moved the battlefield, and they went to the city hall in order to give Clint a new lease on the battlefield. Li is a big official.
"Hehe......" Li Mengyang looked at these individuals, to be honest, a little cute, but well, he actually knew very well in his heart that these lovely people were likely to become very terrifying and scary in the end......
This scene on the Manhattan pier, the people at sea, they don't have time to pay attention, because they have another important matter, that is, rescue.
The Erikson won the battle, and the Minnesota was overturned, but there were so many people overboard, you can't watch.
At sea this year, everyone is still more moral, you lose the battle, but I should be saved and saved, so the captain of the Minnesota, that is, Samuel. DuPont was rescued.
"What the hell is going on with your ship? What the hell is going on? "Samuel. Dupont soaked in the sea water for a while, and was shivering from the cold, and the temperature in the sea was low.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect to catch a big fish! DuPont's! "That Erikson saw Samuel. DuPont, recognized it right away.
"Huh? It's you! "Then Dupont also knew about Erickson, but swear to God, Dupont really didn't expect this old Swede's ship to come true." Did you really get this thing out? β
"Of course! Hahaha, you French still can't do it, the creation of zΓ o is too poor, you can only engage in that kind of wood, you look at this of mine, hahaha......"
Erikson can really be said to be extremely proud, how many years of grievance he has been. And the 'wood-clad' he said is actually an allusion to an ironclad ship made by France, called the Glory, which claims to be an ironclad ship, but in fact it is only wrapped with a layer of metal armor, although it is not thin, but it is not completely metal after all.
"You madman! Who would be so crazy? I'm going crazy with you! "Samuel. DuPont can only say such sour things now.
"Hahaha...... "The more sour the others, the happier Erikson is......
Soon, the Erikson arrived at the Manhattan docks with a group of captives. Li Mengyang naturally began to perform his official duties.
"Go to Statten Island. Be on standby there. "Li Mengyang is actually a prisoner. He didn't care, he just gave one such order to Eriksen.
βyes-sirοΌ Hahaha......" Erikson saluted, and then sailed away.
To be honest, this relationship between them is really a bit strange, you say it's like a superior in the army, it doesn't seem to be quite like it, then Erickson is not so serious.
Merely. No one noticed that the two torpedoes fired by the Erickson were swaying and floating on the surface of the sea, and one of them was caught by the rope of the mast of the sunken Minnesota, and could not move, because the other end of the rope was so good that it was a cannon that sank to the bottom of the sea......
The naval battle of New York Harbor, the first time in the world that an ironclad ship was used, ended like this, to be honest, Li Mengyang looked a little unpleasant. But this is a wonderful thing for Americans at this time. Moreover, a large number of revolutionary masses went to the city government and demanded that Li Mengyang be appointed as the supreme commander of the revolutionary army.
It's all news, it's all big news!
So, what do the major newspapers in New York have to say? Write!
And the "New York Evening News" was naturally unwilling, and Mark Twain directly called Clint . Mr. Lee was, 'The Torch Man of the New York Revolution!' β
This title is so powerful, that is, wherever you Li Mengyang goes, you will illuminate it, but how will Li Mengyang express this title?
Li Mengyang actually didn't care about this matter at all......
In the middle of the night, it was already lit up on Statten Island, and there was a curfew in New York during the Revolution, so there was no one on the street, but it was strange that there was a carriage that seemed to swagger to a three-story building that didn't care about the curfew.
"Who?"
"Proletarian Revolution!"
"Serve the proletariat!"
"One Manhattan!"
"Ahh Oh, please come in! β
There was a guard in front of the tall building, but after a conversation with the people in the carriage, the guard immediately saluted.
The door of the carriage opened, and Li Mengyang stepped down from inside, that's right, he is Manhattan One!
"Comrades are glad to suffer!"
"You're glad you're sorry too! Comrade No. 1! β
Obviously, Li Mengyang has made some deletions and changes to some slogans.
This building turned out to be a hotel, and it was quite luxurious, anyway, it was very comfortable, so what did Li Mengyang do when he came to such a place?
"Hello! Mr. Thomson, Mr. Field! β
"Hello, hello!"
"Humph!"
Li Mengyang walked into a luxurious suite, and there were already two people in it, and the two of them were the two that Li Mengyang had snatched before on suspicion of counter-revolution. Thomson and Cyrus. Field!
What is Li Mengyang doing here to see the two of them?
"Mr. Field, how are you doing these days?" Don't care about anything, but Li Mengyang's attitude is still quite 'gentleman'.
"Thank you Mr. Li for your care, I really feel like I'm going home these days." Nasellus. Naturally, Field's words were somewhat insincere, but there was nothing he could do.
"Haha......" Li Mengyang naturally saw it, but he didn't care, because he was mainly here to find that person today, "Mr. Thomson, I know it's rude to treat a well-known scholar like you like this, but please forgive me, I really want to see you very much, and I really want to talk to you, some ...... Anyway, I think we can talk about anything. β
Li Mengyang is so low-profile, but it's a pity that William. Thomson: He wasn't buying it.
"Humph!"
In this case, Naffield couldn't stand it a little, and he was frightened, so he said, "Mr. Thomson, Mr. Li is not a bad person. β
"Humph! Not a bad guy!? He's not a bad guy, how could he do something like this? And I think he's a dead man sooner or later! β
Hey, that's too much, it's a curse, right, the old man......
"Mr. Thomson, you're pretty accurate."
Hey, why is this Li Mengyang like this?
Isn't that right? Do you need such a low profile? So who is this Thomson? (To be continued......)
