"What?"

A loud roar came from the US mission to the UK. Sward knew that his roar was a bit too rude, but he really couldn't stand it because the things in front of him were simply amazing!

“Railway plan connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean!”

Look at this name and look at this courage. This is to bring together the two largest oceans in the world. What an important project?!

If you talk about this project, it is of course very powerful, but such a project really cannot make Sward so rude. Another important reason why Sward exclaims so much is...

Did Clint Lee I, of the New Tang Empire in the United States, suddenly become an idiot?

Yes, this is why Sward thought so now, because from the Lelan Stanford in front of him, he actually supported the Pacific Railway plan!

"Mr. Sward? Mr. Sward?" Stanford was also shocked just now, and now, after yelling, Sward stopped talking, which was even more scary.

"I, I'm fine." Sward actually had no big problems, but it was hard to believe that Clint Lee would be stupid and would support such a plan.

You should know that in today's era, iron roads have been used a lot. This is very good in terms of commercial and civil use, but now there is a very important application, that is, transporting troops!

Needless to say, the United States is still in a civil war. But for a long time, both in the north and the south, they are transporting troops by railway. The direct result of this method of transporting troops is that everyone can quickly assemble troops, and then... the war has become very large, and more dead people have become!

That's right, that's it. This application of troop transport also came to Europe last year. Prussia took advantage of this to defeat Austria during the Prussia-Austria War.

But what made Sward more gratified was that the PASAC war still did not conduct trench warfare, which means that the American civil war is still relatively advanced now... Well, this technological leadership seems a bit...

But the problem is here, using railway troop transport. He couldn't have known that Emperor Clint Li!

Anyone can think of it simply by thinking about it. If the United States transports a large number of troops over there, what will happen to the American Empire?

So, is that emperor really stupid?

However, Sward is a very powerful person. He is definitely not an idiot. His mind immediately turned a corner. In other words, the imperial emperor he understood was definitely not a fool, and not only was he not a fool, but also an extremely smart guy!

Look, Clint Lee is a guy who can write novels, be a thief, run newspapers, carry out revolutions, and is said to be able to compose music, draw, and have medical skills?... Anyway, he knows too many things, he is simply a genius among geniuses!

Then, since this emperor is not stupid, there is only one possibility.

Is this railway plan a huge trap for the United States of America?

Yes, this is a very normal and logical idea. Sward is old and his vigilance will immediately arise.

At first I was shocked, but now I feel that I might be framed by others. This psychological change was really not available in Sward before.

"Mr. Sward." But at this time Stanford spoke, and he said, "Do you think this railway plan is a trap?"

"Hmm?" Sward's face looked very bad, because it seemed like someone else had seen through his own thoughts. Well, the two words that seemed to be removed.

Stanford is also a veteran, so he could naturally see Sward's mental state, but he had thought of this before he came.

Yes, it's very simple. In Chinese, it's like the weasel greets the chickens with New Year's greetings... It seems that this is what it says, Chinese is indeed profound...

Stanford stopped his thinking and said with a smile: "Mr. Sward, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire promised me that if this railway could be repaired, then as long as the United States does not use this railway for military purposes, the Empire would not do this."

"That's it?" Sward frowned slightly, because such a verbal promise seemed a bit too weak.

"Mr. Sward, you have to know that he is His Majesty the Emperor. What he said is, in Chinese, just a word is a matter of what he said, and it must be counted!" Stanford replied with a smile.

"..." Sward said nothing, yes, he had heard this word.

Sward is Secretary of State. He has been engaged in diplomacy for a long time. He used to be the King of Political Affairs of the Qing Dynasty. Now he has talked to Prince Gong many times, so he naturally knows the code of conduct of the Qing people, such as the emperor, and what he said must be extraordinary.

So, this is possible?

Sward was really tempted!

The reason is particularly simple, because if such a railway is built, then the United States will have the opportunity to regain California!

What is the current state of the American Empire and the United States of America?

There is no peace agreement between the two sides. Although this London Peace Conference was discussed, it was not signed, and there is no specific content now. Besides, even if it is signed, what the fuck is it?

Haven't you signed a lot with those Indians before?

They are barbarians, weren’t the American Empire also barbarians? Are they also from the Qing Dynasty? They are all the same, so they can completely disobey the agreement!

From this point of view, Sward was actually a little embarrassed, because the so-called civilized man actually wanted to tear up the agreement signed with the barbarians, which was indeed a bit embarrassing to the word "civilization".

However, for the sake of the country's interests, it is embarrassing to be embarrassed!

As long as this railway is completed, the United States will have the opportunity to extend its hands and feet into the American Empire. Of course, everyone can be harmonious in normal times. However, as long as the opportunity allows, they can use various forces, or simply send troops there.

Now I really can't fight. From east to west, there are only a few main paths, and you have to know who is Clint Lee?

He is the inventor of trench warfare, and this thing is a super weapon for defense. So how do you think it is to break through the defense line of the American Empire?

Not only are there mountains and ridges, but there are also Sierra Nevada after Rocky Mountain, and there are also trenches. This battle is completely impossible to fight, and there are not enough people to fill it. This is the suggestion given by the US Department of War. Therefore, Lincoln has always been a turtle, and no one in the northern government blames him.

And with railways, it's completely different!

but……

"Mr. Stanford. You are truly a good citizen of the United States." Sward praised first.

"Sir, I'm in Cao's camp and my heart is in Han." Stanford put on another Chinese sentence. However, he immediately remembered it. Sward might not understand it, so the guy explained it.

"Oh...oh...so..." Sward understood, and naturally praised Stanford, but...

Is Stanford's character a little bad?

It’s no wonder that Sward knew very well, a businessman in Stanford, would there be any view of right and wrong? Does the country view? They are just a group of profit-seeking flies.

I have to say that although I was not interested in Stanford, Sward did not show it at all.

"Mr. Stanford, so you give me some time. After this meeting, I need to return to Washington. There is no way. Such an important plan will not work without Congress discussion." Sward gave such an answer.

"Okay, okay..." Stanford was very happy.

From a procedural perspective, Sward must do this, and from this plan, it is not only the American Empire that only built it itself.

Yes, of course, both of our countries have worked hard to build such a railway. Otherwise, the loss would be a big loss? No one would be so stupid!

This is also a very reasonable requirement, and it must go through Congress.

Business at Stanford seems to be going well, so what happened to Strauss and Scechris?

"Is His Majesty Clint Lee I really interested in Alaska?"

"Mr. Scekri, I think this should be the case. His Majesty always feels that his territory is relatively small, otherwise he would not have sent troops to Mexico."

In the restaurant, Scechris and Strauss were still talking, but after they said it seemed that the business had already been taken.

"If that happens, of course, I can report to my Majesty in the UK. I believe that your Majesty should agree to this business. But, there are some things to say in front, that is Alaska, which is not a good place. It is less dark and more sunny all year round, and the weather is extremely cold. You know, we Russians can't stand it."

You really don't know, Scekris is a very particular person in business.

"Hahaha..." Strauss laughed. He knew that the business was almost done. "Of course, I'll go back and tell His Majesty, but I think there is no problem. His Majesty knows everything and is more familiar with the situation in Alaska than I do."

"Oh, that's great!" Scekri was very happy.

This business has started at the beginning, and then we have to discuss the details, but at this time.

"Sir, your starry sky pie and meat-filled lamb belly." The waiter served the dishes ordered from Scechli.

As soon as the dish was put on, Scekri remembered that he did not order Strauss, so he said, "Sorry."

"Oh it's okay." Strauss certainly wouldn't care.

But that's it...

"..." The starry sky sect... Scekri was deceived. Such a poetic name, why is this dish so ugly?

It seems like a ball of dough is wrapped with a few dead fish. Anyone who can't stand this shape after seeing it, right? (To be continued...)
