1860, California,
san francisco,
The towering Ark Group stands in the center, and in front of the door is a soaring vulture statue, symbolizing fearlessness and bravery!
But everyone inside the group knows that vultures represent death!
Just like the Ark Group, it develops and grows through continuous plunder,
Today's subway has already run from California to Texas!
Just as Lu Yan was focusing on developing himself, the contradiction between the north and the south gradually began to become clear.
The North continued to organize smuggling operations to take away the slaves of the manor owners, causing them to lose a lot of money.
Among them, Lu Yan also suffered "deeply" from it.
Because during the construction of the railway, he had to send cavalry to guard and prevent slaves from rebelling.
But there are always a few "Madonna"-like guys who want to save these slaves and call them freedom!
The freedom of the hammer, are they all Lu's personal belongings?
Without themselves, these guys would be just chewing dirt on the land of Africa!
It is precisely because of this that the democracy and the republic are at loggerheads!
They are wooing congressmen from various states in large numbers to help them win parliamentary victories.
But the South has forgotten that the factory itself stands in the North!
Want those capitalists to speak for them? Don’t factories need manpower anymore?
At this point, a big curtain is about to begin.
At Downs Manor, Lu Yan looked at the representative representing the southern manor owner in front of him and said, "Do you need me to provide weapons and equipment?"
"That's right, Mr. Lu, we have always been your loyal customers. I guess you don't want the abolition of slavery to happen, right?"
Looking at Lu Yan, the future leader of the South, "Stonewall" Jackson, was speaking seriously,
After hearing his words, Lu Yan silently picked up the cigarette and lit it: "If we cooperate! The conditions you offer are much less than those in the north!"
"You have to believe in our friendship. For example, this time, we come with sincerity!"
Walking forward, Jackson handed a document to Lu Yan,
Looking at it, Lu Yan raised his head and said, "When will it be handed over!"
"anytime!"
Looking at Lu Yan firmly, even though Jackson knew the price was huge, he still had to win over Lu Yan.
Because he is not only the actual "controller" of California today, he is also the largest weapons supplier in the South!
As long as a steady stream of Garand appears, the South will have the confidence to defeat the North's "barbaric treaty"!
Standing up, Lu Yan handed it to Morgan and said, "Go and complete the formalities!"
"Okay, boss!"
After taking the document, Morgan couldn't help but be stunned.
Because this is actually the most famous shipyard in Houston.
In order to win over Lu Yan, Nanfang really paid a price this time.
Following Lu Yan to the military factory, Jackson thought Lu Yan was going to show him the production industry of Garand rifles. However, Lu Yan took him directly to an open-air battlefield and said, "Look, this is It is the latest weapon developed by Ark Ordnance Company, an epoch-making life reaper! Gatling gun!"
Lifting the curtain, a machine gun made of whole metal appeared in front of him.
When Jackson saw Gatlin, he couldn't help but be shocked, because this machine gun actually had six barrels!
According to the ideas of later generations, Lu Yan deleted the manual turning method in advance and let Richard complete the trigger trigger!
It took two years for Richard to finally produce the finished product.
However, the price is a bit high. The materials alone cost two hundred U.S. dollars, and the price is one thousand and fifty dollars.
Don't blame Lu Yan for having a dark heart, after all, it is inherently dark!
Lu Yan: Conscience will only make me earn less, but without it, I will earn more!
Asking Stanley to help him wind the bullet, Lu Yan pointed at the wall in front of him and said, "This is the final form of the future rifle!"
"Da da da da da"
As the trigger was pulled, Gatlin immediately transformed into a metal storm, continuously breaking through the wall in front of him until it shattered into pieces.
Looking at this scene in shock, Jackson could no longer shut his mouth at this moment.
Because of the existence of Gatlin, he is simply an infantry nemesis.
Think about it, how many people will fall in front of this series of bullets?
"We buy it, and we will definitely buy it!"
Looking at Gatlin, Jackson was about to take out the money and hand it directly to Lu Yan.
After Jackson left, Lu Yan successfully signed an arms trade with the South.
That is, he will provide weapons and finance the southern battle, and the other party will provide Houston's shipyard and many benefits in exchange.
For example, the Open Ark Group’s commercial monopoly in various regions in the south,
This is very important. After all, the legal provisions of each state are different. If you jump into it with confusion, even Morgan will feel a little headache.
Now that all states are open, the Ark Group can ravage its opponents unscrupulously!
A few days later, Ark Group officially signed a contract with Nanfang,
But this matter was also learned by the North.
But they also know that it is impossible for the Ark Group to stand in the north.
After all, it controls the slave trade. How can Ark Group give up so easily? It makes tens of millions of dollars every year!
However, the North does not have no countermeasures. Then blow up the Ark Ordnance Factory and completely silence the opponent!
Prevent armed confrontation in the South!
Otherwise, with the support of the Ark Group, even if the northern industry is developed, we dare not say that we will definitely win!
But just as the action began in the north, Lu Yan had already ordered Glass to eliminate all strangers.
How could he not know the importance of the ordnance factory? After all, in addition to Glass, there are also shadow ninjas protecting it!
Blow up his ordnance factory, what a joke, Lu stopped doing this trick hundreds of years ago!
Back to Downs Manor,
Lu Yan held Fang Ting's arm as she came down from upstairs and said with a smile, "Where is your cousin?"
"She is just pregnant and hopes to have a good rest!"
Looking at Lu Yan angrily, Fang Ting turned around and said, "I'm going to take care of the child. Do you want to come with me?"
"Of course!"
Lu Yan chuckled softly as he carried Fang Ting upstairs.
In the past two years, he has done nothing but fishing. First he captured Fantine and Lucy, and then he allowed Elizabeth and Anna to successfully give birth to two boys for him!
As for Miss Bennett, she is still angry about why Lu Yan attacked her eldest sister.
However, she was already pregnant, so Bennett could only acquiesce to the matter.
Ever since she met Lu Yan at the cocktail party, her life seemed to have gone astray.
My father and mother had no objections to this at all.
After all, they were in San Francisco and received all kinds of preferential treatment.
The large manor that was once unattainable has become bigger and bigger under Lu Yan's arrangement, and it is almost overwhelmed.
As for two daughters having one son-in-law, it’s not unacceptable!
The next morning, when Lu Yan woke up from Fantine's boat, Anna held the baby in her arms and said, "Lu, it's your turn to take care of the baby today!"
"Okay, Anna!"
Taking the life-long enemy in his hand, Lu Yan said angrily: "Son, you have to grow up quickly, otherwise, your father will be too busy!"
"Hey, I've told you so many times, don't educate your children with your nonsense!"
Looking at Lu Yan helplessly, Elizabeth handed the child over and said, "I leave it to you!"
"OK!"
After taking over another son again, Lu Yan felt quite like a househusband, which was really melancholy!
But just when Downs Manor was in harmony, Washington had turned into a full force.
Don't think that the congressmen are just superior, they are really anxious, they also took off their gloves, threw them in each other's faces and started beating!
Just as the two parties are fighting directly in the House of Representatives, it also symbolizes that the war is about to begin!
