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 through the glass windows at the lawns and streets outside. 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 have placards with slogans 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 Proclamation of the Emancipation of Black Slaves and Indians!
To be fair, there are still many Americans in this era who oppose the enslavement of black people - they are the conscience of America! However, Americans who are willing to coexist peacefully with Indians are relatively rare. Therefore, the United States in another timeline once fought a Civil War on the grounds of "preserving and abolition of black slaves". At the same time, they turned a blind eye to the widespread genocide of Indians, and even took joy in it.
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!
And the Indians, no matter how reluctant Americans are to admit it, they are Americans after all, and they are the indigenous people of the Americas! This is recognized by all Europeans including "British Father" and "Uncle French".
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 that Indians, especially Indians who had converted to God, were human beings and indigenous peoples of the American continent.
Compared with the current United States, Europe is still a tall place.
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 Proclamation of the Black Slaves and Indians" openly declares that it will 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? Reservations are the property of the U.S. government, not the Indians! Indians have no property, everything belongs to white Americans!
What's more, the "Declaration of Emancipation of Black Slaves and Indians" also claimed that black slaves would be liberated and land would be allocated to 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! Moreover, it would be even more ridiculous to liberate the black slaves and then allocate land to the black slaves. Even Americans in the northern industrial states who support the abolition of slavery would not agree to allow all black slaves to become American citizens, let alone give black slaves Distribution of land. Although the United States is large, the land is not unlimited. If black people are divided, won't there be less white people?
Therefore, the "Declaration of Emancipation of 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 Proclamation to mobilize for war, he was also spreading hatred against Mexicans, Indians, Texas Japanese, and free blacks to the greatest extent. Abolitionism in the United States was It will also be labeled politically incorrect and capitulationist.
From now on, the United States must fight to the end with Mexico, Japanese immigrants in Texas, and 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 lofty banner of abolition, it would be difficult for the future U.S. government to implement high tariffs that would be unfavorable to the southern slave states.
But those are all troubles in the future. 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 Arming them, paying them salaries and providing them with various supplies requires appropriations from the gentlemen on Capitol Hill.
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 our proposed budget and pound borrowing bill 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, your speech 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 "Pushing out this 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 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 during this tri-nation summit?"
The President of the United States was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "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!"
