1850 American Gold Tycoon

“Collaborating with the enemy, ceding territory, and suppressing immigrants, any one of these is enough to make you an outcast of the Democratic Party.”

This is an election year, and the Democratic Party is also seeking votes in California and Ohio.

On one side are the votes in the two states, and on the other side are the fringe members of the party. I think you know better than me how they will choose. "

Liang Yao played with the photos on the table that had just been developed a few days ago. The photos showed the arrogant Northern Oregon armed forces shooting at immigrants and beating them.

Britain and the United States are not in a state of war, but due to well-known historical reasons, the relationship between the two countries is not friendly and is far less fatherly and filial than that of later generations. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with saying that Stevens is an enemy.

As for the cession of territory and the suppression of immigrants, these are facts before our eyes.

If Liang Yao allows those mouthpieces in the east to add fuel to the fire, Stevens' political career will not simply come to an end.

Traitors are the most despised people in any era.徾

As long as this label is attached to him, Stevens has no hope of turning around in his life.

Stevens' wandering eyes rested on the photos on the table.

He knew Liang Yao's methods. When his predecessor Burnett died in Oregon, the Democratic Party only farted a few times at the beginning and demanded an investigation into the cause of Burnett's death.

But after the Democratic Party sent people to investigate for a period of time and found nothing, the matter was hastily dropped.

"What do you want to do about it?"

The corners of Stevens' mouth twitched involuntarily.

As for the bad things he did in Northern Oregon, no one had taken him seriously before. If he really wanted to take things seriously, every one of them was no small matter.徾

“The border in Northern Oregon is to the north, not to the south, so remove all your people from the Columbia River crossing.

I will return all those prisoners to you. If I find out later that you are blocking immigrants from settling in Northern Oregon and flirting with the British, don't blame me for being ruthless. "

Liang Yao clasped his hands behind his back and stared condescendingly at Stevens, who was much shorter than him in both strength and stature.

"And the British in Bellingham. You recruited these British. You have to find a way to get them out."

The first two were not a big problem, but it was the last one that made Stevens feel frightened.

It is easy to ask the gods but difficult to send them away, not to mention asking the British to abandon an already settled port, although the port is on American territory.

"This" Stevens said with some embarrassment.徾

"The British in Bellingham may not be so easy to catch."

"You also know that it's not that easy to catch up?" Liang Yao sneered, "You pooped yourself, so you have to find a way to wipe your ass."

After beating Stevens, Liang Yao told him to get out.

Looking at Stevens' back with his tail between his legs and leaving in dejection, he didn't expect Stevens to be able to solve Bellingham's matter independently.

Although Liang Yao had just cut off a lot of land from Mexico in the south, it was nothing for the British to occupy a port in the border area.

But everyone has aversion to loss, and these places will be his sphere of influence in the future!

"You can't rely solely on Stevens for Bellingham's affairs." Liang Yao turned to Carnegie and said.徾

"Send a report to Sven and ask him to transfer the Julius-class ship we just launched to Portland. If the British don't leave, they will directly block all their ships in the port and turn this port into a Dead Harbor.”

After the telegram was sent, Liang Yao thought for a while and realized that it was not enough to put pressure on the British from the sea, so he left the Oregon regiment in northern Oregon.

Firstly, it was to protect the local immigrants and prevent those restless white-skinned pigs from having any evil thoughts after he returned.

Secondly, it is also to fulfill his responsibilities. After all, he is the commander of the Western Brigade and is responsible for the national defense and security of the western region.

Mexico, which has been dismembered in the south, has been completely reduced to a third-rate country and can no longer make any waves.

The only thing that can be dismembered on land and threaten the security of the West Coast region is the so-called British Columbia Territory in the north.

————————————崾

1856 was an election year.

Fillmore has been elected President of the United States for two consecutive terms. According to the ancestral system of the United States, it is impossible for Fillmore to participate in the presidential election this time.

Before Fillmore's term ended, the Whig Party was already experiencing divisions and disintegration.

The reason for the split and disintegration of the Whig Party was naturally attributed to the slave owners.

Since the establishment of the Republican Party in 1854, more than 120 core members of the Whig Party have joined the Republican Party due to the Republican Party's clear and discordant attitude toward abolition. The strength of the Whig Party has been further weakened.

What is surprising is that the Whig Party elected an unknown person in this election: Milt Scott.

Scott was born in 1827. Scott's only political experience was as the lieutenant governor of Connecticut for two years and as a senator of Connecticut for two and a half years.徾

With such a resume, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this man comes from a super wealthy family.

The election of such a person to participate in the 1856 presidential election also showed that the Whig Party had no successor after Fillmore.

To put it bluntly, this guy's political resume is not as rich and beautiful as Liang Yao's.

It has to be said that in terms of political foundation, the Democratic Party, as an old party, is still much stronger than the Whig Party.

Although the Democratic Party is also severely weakened, the candidates who have withdrawn from the Democratic Party are still relatively capable.

The candidate proposed by the Democratic Party was James Buchanan. Historically, it was Buchanan who won the 1856 election.

Buchanan's resume is much better than the young man above.徾

Buchanan had a classic start as an American politician. Born on April 23, 1791, in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, Buchanan was educated in schools in Pennsylvania and London, and later worked in a Pennsylvania law firm before entering politics.

He has served as Assistant to the Governor of Pennsylvania, State Representative, Senator, and Secretary of State.

In the State Capitol in Sacramento, core members of the Civic Party are holding a meeting to decide on the allocation of the 13 electoral votes from California and Ohio in November.

"To be honest, looking at the campaign slogans and ideas of these two people, I would rather throw my vote into the cesspit than vote for them."

Fremont was not satisfied with either candidate's claims.

Historically, Fremont was the presidential candidate jointly nominated by the Republican Party and the American Party in 1856. The ideas and slogans he advocated were: anti-slavery, the abolition of slavery in new territories and states, and the abolition of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. 》.

Supported the construction of railroads across the continental United States, increased armaments, and protected the western frontier from Indian and foreign invasion threats. Against Catholic power.徾

The campaign slogan was: "Free work, free land, free speech, free men."

"How about we recommend you to run for president as the candidate of our Civic Party?" Liang Yao said with a smile.

He was not born in the United States, and according to the Constitution of the United States, he cannot run for president. But Fremont, the Civic Party's No. 2 man, can.

“Forget it, our Civic Party is a small party. Unless we can unite small parties such as the Republican Party, the Liberal Party, the Native American Party, and the American Party, and win over the few votes they have, it will be a waste of time.

If I have this time, I might as well use it to study and formulate the second five-year plan. "

Formulating California’s second five-year plan is Fremont’s top priority now.
