Chapter 483 The Year of the General Election

"Collaborating with the enemy, cutting land, suppressing immigrants, any one of these is enough to make you a pariah of the Democratic Party.

This year is an election year, and the Democrats are also fighting for votes in California and Ohio.

With the votes of two states on one side and the fringes of the party on the other, I think you know better than I how they will vote. "

Liang Yao was playing with the photos on the table that had just been developed a few days ago. In the photos, the militant Northern Oregon armed forces shot and beat the immigrants.

The United Kingdom 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 it is far less filial than that of later generations.Therefore, there is nothing wrong with saying that Stevens collaborated with the enemy.

As for the cession of land and the suppression of immigrants, they are all facts before our eyes.

If Liang Yao allowed those mouthpieces in the east to add fuel to the story, Stevens would not simply have reached the end of his political career.

In any era, traitors are the most despised category of people.

As long as this label is on his body, Stevens has no hope of turning around in his life.

Stevens' erratic eyes rested on the photo on the desktop.

He knew Liang Yao's methods. At the beginning, his senior, Bernard, died in Oregon for no apparent reason. The Democratic Party farted a few times at the very beginning, demanding an investigation into the cause of Burnett's death.

But after the Democrats came to investigate for a period of time and found nothing, the matter was hastily abandoned.

"What do you want to do?"

The corner of Stevens' mouth couldn't help twitching.

As for the shitty things he did in Northern Oregon, no one took him seriously before, but if he really wanted to be serious, every one of them was not a trivial matter.

"NORTH'S BORDER IS NORTH, NOT SOUTH, REMOVE ALL YOUR PEOPLE FROM THE COLUMBIA RIVER COUNTRIES.

I will return all those captives to you.In the future, if I find out that you obstruct immigrants from settling in Northern Oregon and flirt with the British, don't blame me for being ruthless. "

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

"And the Brits in Bellingham, you brought them in and you have to find a way to get them out."

The first two were fine, but it was the last one that terrified Stevens.

It is easy to ask God to send God, let alone let the British give up a settled port, although this port is on the territory of the United States.

"This" Stevens said with some embarrassment.

"The Brits in Bellingham may not be so easy to follow."

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

After beating Stevens, Liang Yao let him go.

Looking at the back of Stevens leaving with his tail between his legs, he didn't expect Stevens to solve Bellingham's matter independently.

Although Liang Yao had just cut 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 loss aversion, these places will be his sphere of influence in the future!
"You can't rely on Stevens for Bellingham's affairs." Liang Yao turned to Carnegie and said.

"Send a report to Sven and ask him to transfer the Julang-class ship we just launched to Portland. If the British refuse to leave, they will block all their ships in the port and make this port a portland. dead port."

After the telegram was sent, Liang Yao thought about it, and it was not enough to put pressure on the British from the sea, so he left the Oregon Regiment in Northern Oregon.

One is to protect the local immigrants and prevent those restless white-skinned pigs from thinking anything wrong after he returns.

The second is to perform his duties. After all, he is the brigade commander of the Western Brigade and is responsible for the national defense and security of the western region.

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

Now the only thing that can be dismembered on land that threatens the safety of the West Coast is the so-called British Columbia Territory in the north.

------------

1856 was the year of the general election.

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.

Fillmore's term was not yet over, and the Whig Party was already split and disintegrated.

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

Since the founding of the Republican Party in 1854, more than 120 core members of the Whig Party have been attracted to join the Republican Party due to the Republican Party's clear attitude towards the abolition of slavery and discord. The strength of the Whig Party has been further weakened.

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

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

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

The election of such a person to participate in the 1856 presidential election also shows that the Whig Party has no successors after Fillmore.

To put it bluntly, this kid's political resume is not as rich and good-looking as Liang Yao's.

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

Although the Democratic Party is also badly hurt, the candidates who have withdrawn from the Democratic Party are still relatively able to show their hands.

The Democratic candidate was James Buchanan, who historically won the 1856 election.

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

Buchanan had the classic start of an American politician. Born on April 1791, 4, in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, Buchanan was educated in schools in Pennsylvania and London, worked in a law firm in Pennsylvania, and then entered politics.

He has successively served as assistant to the governor of Pennsylvania, state representative, senator, and secretary of state.

Inside the State Capitol in Sacramento, core members of the Citizens' Party are meeting to determine the ownership of the 11 electoral votes in California and Ohio in November.

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

Fremont was unhappy with both of the contenders' 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 the transcontinental railroad, increased military levels, and the protection of the western frontier from Indian and foreign invasion threats.Against Catholic forces.

The campaign slogan was: "Free Labor, Free Land, Free Speech, Free Men."

"How about we elect you as the candidate of our Civic Party for the presidential election?" Liang Yao said with a smile.

He was not born in the United States. According to the American Constitution, he cannot participate in the presidential election.But Freemont, the No. [-] in the Civic Party, can.

"Forget it, our Civic Party is a small party, unless we can unite the Republican Party, the Liberal Party, the Native American Party, the American Party and other small parties and win the few votes in their hands, otherwise it will be a waste of time.

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

The formulation of California's second five-year plan is the most important thing for Fremont right now.
