May 1, 1832, Washington, White House.
"Mr. President, the carriage is ready. Do you want to leave now?"
When Isaac Roosevelt opened the door and walked into the Oval Office, U.S. President Andrew Jackson was standing at the window, flanked by Secretary of State Van Buren, Secretary of War Eaton, Secretary of the Navy Blanche and several other important cabinet ministers.
A few of them were looking out at the lawns and streets through the glass windows. There was a sea of people there, all waving American flags and holding high slogans such as "Kill the Mexicans," "Kill the Indians," and "Never let the blacks go."
The angry American people carried placards such as "Defiling America", "America is America for Americans", and "Yellow people, get out of America".
The reason that made them so angry was not the bombing of Wall Street, nor the two "tragic victories" of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, or even the landing of Mexican troops in Florida. It was the release of the "Emancipation of the Black Slaves and Indians Proclamation"!
To be fair, there are still many Americans who oppose the enslavement of black people in this era - they are the conscience of the United States! However, Americans who are willing to coexist peacefully with the Indians are relatively rare. Therefore, the United States in another timeline once used the slogan "Save and abolish the black people"
They fought a Civil War on the grounds of "slaves", while at the same time they turned a blind eye to, and even rejoiced in, the widespread genocide of Indians.
After all, in the eyes of most white Americans, black slaves do not belong in the Americas, and they should be sent back to Africa to fend for themselves - allowing black slaves to become American citizens is not in line with the thoughts of most white Americans in this era who support the abolition of slavery!
As for the Indians, no matter how much Americans are unwilling to admit it, they are Americans after all, and they are the indigenous people of the Americas! This has been recognized by all Europeans including "British Father" and "French Uncle".
According to the judgment of the Europeans who conquered the New World in the early years, this Indian must be an American. However, they are not a mature civilization, but a civilization in the infant stage. They have no ability to survive independently, and they are also special.
Those who are ignorant and backward and believe in cruel religions must be "guarded" by Europeans who represent advanced and mature civilization.
Therefore, the Spanish genius back then invented a "entrusted guardianship system", which was to entrust the Indians to the benevolent Spaniards for "guardianship" to prevent them from becoming extinct.
In any case, Europeans of the generation of Cortes and Pizarro still recognized Indians, especially Indians who had converted to God, as human beings and as indigenous peoples of the American continent.
Compared to the current United States, Europe is still far superior.
So these Europeans who had just climbed onto a ship from a dirty and forgotten corner of the European continent, crowded into the bunk at the bottom and ran to the New World to make a comeback, in order to become true Americans, then
The original Americans must be wiped out. However, the "Emancipation of the Black Slaves and Indians" blatantly declared that it would protect the lives, property, and freedom of the Indians. This is simply unforgivable!
This "Declaration" not only protects the lives of Indians, but also protects their property. What property do they have? The reservation is the property of the US government, not the property of the Indians! The Indians have no property, everything belongs to white Americans!
What's more, the "Emancipation of the Black Slaves and Indians Proclamation" also claimed that the black slaves would be liberated and land would be allocated to the black slaves!
Black slaves are the private property of white slave owners. The liberation of black slaves is a serious violation of the sacred and inviolable private property! It is even more ridiculous to liberate black slaves and then allocate land to black slaves. Even the northern industrial states that support the abolition of slavery Americans would not agree to allow all black slaves to become American citizens, let alone allocate land to black slaves. Although the United States is large, the land is not unlimited. If black people are divided, won't there be fewer white people?
Therefore, the "Declaration of Emancipation of the Black Slaves and Indians" issued by Zhuge Weidao in the name of the Mexican Emperor and the Florida Revolutionaries actually became President Jackson's best tool to mobilize the American people.
Of course, while President Jackson was using the Emancipation and Indian Proclamation to mobilize for war, he was also spreading hatred against Mexicans, Indians, Texas Japanese, and free blacks to the greatest extent, while abolitionism in the United States It will also be labeled as politically incorrect and capitulationist.
From now on, the United States must fight to the end with Mexico, the Japanese immigrants in Texas, and the Florida revolutionaries. And it will become very difficult to abolish slavery in the future!
As for the United States, which openly retains the slavery system, it is unthinkable to develop into a "Lighthouse of the West". Moreover, without the high-level flag of abolition, the future US government will implement policies that are not conducive to the slaveholding of the South. The state's high tariffs are difficult.
But those are all future troubles. For now, President Andrew Jackson finally has an opportunity to unite the loose federation and turn it into a war machine.
After all, there are 20 million white people in the United States, and there are enough industries to support a large-scale ground war. The agricultural output is almost unlimited. As long as it is mobilized, it cannot defeat the Ming Dynasty, nor can it defeat Mexico?
So today, U.S. President Andrew Jackson will go to Capitol Hill to give a speech, urging the House of Representatives to pass an astronomical war appropriation bill as soon as possible - now the United States has begun general mobilization, and millions of Americans are walking into military camps, but to To arm them, pay them salaries and provide them with various supplies, funding from the gentlemen on Capitol Hill is indispensable.
In addition, President Jackson also hopes that Congress can approve the US government's issuance of 100 million pounds of military purchase bonds - if the United States wants to defeat Mexico, it is not enough to have 1 million troops, it must also have aircraft and warships, and the United States is better than the United Kingdom in this regard Much worse. If you should buy it, you have to buy it!
Therefore, the Jackson administration has prepared a huge arms purchase list during this time, and wants to go to Europe for large-scale purchases. However, Europe no longer recognizes the US dollar, so it has to borrow "a few hundred million pounds" from the "British father". This matter also requires the approval of Congress.
Thinking of this, President Jackson said to several ministers around him: "Obviously, the people support us. It seems that Congress will definitely approve the budget and pound borrowing proposal we proposed today!"
"Yes, Mr. President, Congress will definitely support us!"
"If they don't support us, those Americans who hate Indians and don't want equality with black people will definitely teach them a lesson with their votes."
"Mr. President, the speech you delivered in Congress today will be a turning point in this war!"
The US President nodded and seemed to agree with this "turning point" statement, "Yes, the Chinese made a huge mistake. They thought that we Americans, like them, would oppose the extermination of Indians and the exploitation of black slaves, so they did
"Publishing this kind of imbecile 'declaration' will only be counterproductive and will unite the American people like never before!"
He paused and then said to the Secretary of State: "George, when Congress approves the bill we proposed, you will go to the UK again to arrange a trilateral summit between Britain, the United States, and India!"
"Three-Nation Summit?" George Van Buren asked, "Mr. President, what do you plan to discuss with the British and Indians in this Three-Nation Summit?"
The President of the United States was silent for a while, and then sighed: "It is time for the three countries ruled by the Anglo-Saxons to unite and oppose the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and Mexico, the three countries ruled or controlled by the yellow race.
!We must let the British understand that what is going on now is a world war that will determine the fate of two races. They cannot pretend to be aloof, they must join in, otherwise we will not win!"
