Chapter 153: It's only rebellion if you fail!
1861, Spring,
in the midst of the storm, the entire North American continent had started to boil.
The North-South contradictions had started to develop from opposition into military confrontation.
As ruthless people who came to the "God-forsaken land," everyone was no good person; after all, industrialization required development, so there must be population, but where would the population come from?
The South had it, but the Southern plantation owners weren't "He Yuzhu," so how could they give it to you for no reason!
Therefore, two different degrees of economy would inevitably cause conflicts to appear!
Richmond, a provisional government had been established.
In the name of the Confederate States of America, the South had started to actively prepare for war.
Watching the territory about to be split, the North naturally didn't allow the other party to do so, so the storm of war started to appear!
South, inside a certain plantation,
Zhang Cheng, who had been invited, was greeting people at this moment.
Wearing a suit, Calvin walked up and said, "Zhang, the war is about to start, we need your help!"
"Don't worry, my buddy, I have already prepared everything for you!"
Looking at Calvin with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng could be said to be the "God-chosen" supporter of the South.
Because he couldn't negotiate with the North, especially Lin Ken!
Watching the gentlemen below discussing military affairs, who were arguing endlessly, Zhang Cheng said, "If the war starts, I will attack Kansas all the way from California!"
And hearing Zhang Cheng's words, quite a few people raised their heads, their faces revealing expressions of shock as they said, "Zhang, your Far East Group is also going to participate in the war?"
"Of course, I am your loyal partner; after all, if it weren't for you, would my slaves be sold to Northern factories?"
Laughing, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but slap his thigh.
And hearing Zhang Cheng's "hell joke," everyone also became excited.
Because the addition of the Far East Group was equivalent to pulling the West into their camp.
After all, you could question the Far East Group's combat effectiveness, but you absolutely couldn't doubt their strength in the West!
Leaving the plantation, Calvin looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Mr. Jefferson asked me to tell you that he agrees to your conditions, but you must support the South's war, and even provide help at critical moments!"
"Go back and tell him to wait, the West will hang the flag belonging to the South!"
Looking at Calvin with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng didn't feel surprised by this reply.
Because the South, having lost its slaves, simply couldn't compete with the North; Jefferson wanted to win, so he had to get support!
And as a natural ally, the Far East Group was the object that had to be chosen.
Using various military hardware as bargaining chips, Zhang Cheng had had brief interactions with Jefferson, and both sides also talked about one thing during this period, and that was that the Indians enjoyed autonomy!
When persecution no longer appeared, he would lead the Indians to give the North a huge surprise!
Returning to California,
inside the Far East Group, a meeting was unfolding.
After seeing everyone present, Zhang Cheng looked at Derrick and the others and said, "It seems everyone knows the reason I summoned everyone!"
"Zhang, you can't do this, this will cause the Far East Group and Wells Fargo to suffer heavy losses!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Uther became serious, because even if he was a major shareholder, he couldn't hold everyone hostage to make a choice!
Ma Li Ke had already told him that he must stop Zhang Cheng's dangerous idea, because this would bring unpredictable trouble to everyone!
"What are you afraid of? Is it failure?"
Looking at Uther and the others below, Zhang Cheng roared while slapping the table, "If you fail, that's called rebellion; if you succeed, we will become the true masters of this country!"
Finishing listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Li Yong was seen walking in from outside the door and said, "Boss, the people are already prepared!" "Tell them, from now on, the West enters a new era!"
Pointing at Li Yong, Zhang Cheng let everyone start preparing for the upcoming war.
Over these years, he hadn't just been eating melon seeds and watching the fun every day.
Continuously expanding his strength, the Far East Group alone possessed nearly 20,000 "slave-catching teams," not to mention the Sioux as allies; they could select warriors from among them, and he could grasp a military force of 50,000 people overnight!
A new day, the people of San Francisco all sensed something wrong.
Because on the streets, soldiers with live ammunition appeared; they wore the Far East Group's attire and carried rifles never seen before.
On a carriage, a brand-new Gatling machine gun was being uncovered.
When its muzzle was aimed at a certain building, it immediately started to rotate.
"Dadadada!"
As bullets fired crazily and continuously, the people inside the house were seen falling into pools of blood one after another.
Finishing all this, the soldiers raised their guns coldly, then walked into the house to search.
When there were no living people left, they slowly left.

Washington,
when the emergency telegram rang, an official inside the White House immediately ran into the office and said, "President, it's bad, a rebellion has appeared in San Francisco, and the Southern flag has already been raised!"
"What?"
Suddenly hearing this news, Lin Ken's face revealed an expression of disbelief.
Because clearly, in the previous few meetings, California belonged to the "Free States"!
But why would this situation appear!
After thinking for a while, Lin Ken said, "Is it the Far East Group?"
"That's right, they killed all the congressmen and indicated that they absolutely do not support the North and have already planned to send troops!"
Looking at Lin Ken, the official's face revealed a bitter expression.
Because no one expected that while the North and South were about to fight, the West would actually strike first, and it even punched the North right on the bridge of the nose!
"Damn bastard, I knew they were a bunch of bandits!"
Roaring angrily, Lin Ken stood up and roared at this moment.
If it were said that before, he only felt the Far East Group had opinions about him, then now it wasn't just opinions; they completely didn't put him in their eyes at all!
Everyone had agreed that we would fight here, and you would watch the show; even if you bet, you should be careful, but the Far East Group directly flipped the table and stopped playing!
They expressed their attitude that they wanted to fight the North, so the next part would be troublesome!
You have to know, the Far East Group's strength in the West wasn't just a California!
Richmond, Confederate States,
when they learned the news that the West had already taken action, Jefferson was dumbfounded, because he hadn't even prepared to send troops, so why did the Far East Group flip the table?
Walking up, Luo Bote Edward Lee also roared, "Quick, send troops, send troops, absolutely don't let the North react!"
Just after Luo Bote's words finished, Jefferson also hurriedly reacted, hurriedly tapping the telegram.
When the weapons that had already been prepared were distributed, the two sides, who had previously been separated by their verbal abuse, had already begun to engage in hand-to-hand combat!
On the second day of occupying San Francisco, Los Angeles also sent good news, and that was that the "rebels" had been pacified.
Successfully taking two major cities, Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with light, then he pointed at the map and said, "Tell me, how can we reach Washington the fastest!"
"By sea?"
Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Yu Guang was stunned, then said, "We aren't attacking Kansas anymore?"
"Attack what Kansas? Going by land, who knows how many people are waiting there? Capture the bandits first, capture the king; they read few military books, have you not read them either?"
Looking at Yu Guang, Zhang Cheng felt disdain, because had he not read Sun Tzu's Art of War?
