Chapter 174 Li Mengyang's Killing Three Eagles!
Who is the middleman?
How simple, Cuba!
"Cuba?" When Davis heard the country's name, his eyes immediately lit up!
It is this Cuba, this place is very close to Florida, and that empire, they now occupy California and Panama. So there seems to be no problem with the rifle coming from California, taking Panama, and then passing through Cuba to Florida. After a period of land, and then boarding the train, there seems to be no problem!
Moreover, if Cuba makes a move, it will completely save the Confederacy. You should know that when the Americans are against foreign enemies, they are unanimous to foreign countries. In other words, the New Tang Empire in the United States is a foreign enemy. If you do business with them directly, this is not OK...
How could Gatlin still not understand at this time?
He immediately said, "Mr. President, as a southerner, I absolutely do not want to see our free South being occupied by the evil guys and those niggers in the north! So, in fact, this business was made many guarantees before His Holiness, and I brag! But, as a man, my heart, God can testify! I am on this side of the South!"
What Gatlin said at this time is really touching, and the listener is sad and the listener is crying, but he seems to have long forgotten what he said to Lincoln back then.
"Mr. Gatlin! You are definitely a devout believer!" Davis was completely impressed!
"Mr. President!"
"Mr. Gatlin!"
These two people, for a moment, appreciate each other...
Needless to say, then it’s naturally the various details of the arms business. For example, what is the unit price of this weapon? If I buy more, can I get more bullets?
Therefore, the American New Tang Empire and the American Alliance, this unlucky couple who were banned internationally, have joined forces to keep warm!
This is really a group to keep warm. Both countries are suppressed by the big guy in the north. However, since these two countries have such commonalities, they even have the same enemy, but why is that Davis so arrogant?
Yes, why did this guy refuse to agree at the beginning and reluctantly?
Just this point was clear in the morning. Just when Gatling left, the two of them had already talked. Regarding Davis's reaction, Li Mengyang actually told Gatling. Otherwise, how could this machine gun inventor become so good at speaking?
Li Mengyang knew very well that although the southern government was also suppressed by the north, they looked down on themselves, that is, the American New Tang Empire, at all!
Who is the main person in the Southern Government?
They are all Virginians. Li Mengyang knew about the urinary nature of Virginians for a long time... Well, there is a beautiful girl... Virginians believe that they are the real representative of the United States and that they represent the American spirit. So, you guys, what revolutionaries? What emperors are?
You are a bunch of traitors! The real traitors!
This is really the state of the Southern Kids’ mentality. Davis really thought so, Li Mengyang guessed it all!
In other words, the Southern and New Tang Empire were both accused by the Yankees of being rebels, but the rebels still look down on the rebels, that's what it means.
Since Li Mengyang saw so clearly, and he still needed to complete this transaction, he naturally thought that only Gatlin could complete the negotiations on this business.
Gatlin is from the south. Li Mengyang knew about it when he was in Washington. He was also a gun expert, which is the technical salesman in later generations, so he is the only one!
The result was just as Li Mengyang expected, Gatlin completed the task well.
This business is indeed not small in terms of amount, but in fact, Li Mengyang values other things.
Just imagine, if the Yankees defeated the Yankees now, what would be the situation in the American New Tang Empire?
Is that need to be said?
Of course, our new empire is ours, and we have to face the behemoth of the United States of America directly!
Now, the Southerners are still there, and they still have to pursue their own freedom. Moreover, this is a country with a population of nearly 10 million. So naturally, the Northern Federation of the United States cannot look to California. They must, if they must, conquer the Southerners first.
Yes, let alone anything else. Washington is so close to Richmond, why don’t they call you to the death first?
Since that's the case, can Li Mengyang watch the Southerners be killed by the North?
As a history-based study, even if Li Mengyang is not familiar with American history, he also knows that the turning point of the Civil War was in Gettysburg. After this battle, the Southern Army was greatly damaged!
The information I received now also clearly shows that in fact, the Southern Army had been very injured before.
What are the advantages of the Southern Army?
There are many military academies in Virginia, many passionate men, and many experienced officers and veterans. To put it, the original American domestic front, that is, the war with the Indians in Texas and New Mexico, most of them are Southerners as officers and Southern soldiers!
These are all very precious war wealth and important factors that the South can continue to win after the war begins. But now, after the Battle of Gettysburg, many of these veterans and officers have been consumed. Just talk about the cornfield that was before, how many died?
This is also why there are so many guns in Gettysburg that have ammunition in them, and even more with two bullets. The advantage of the South is gone, and their only battlefield advantage has been lost!
It can be said that the south is about to lose, but Li Mengyang saw that this was his opportunity!
If it were before Gettysburg, was it possible for Gatling to enter President Davis' mansion? Is it possible for them to have such a private meeting?
It's absolutely impossible!
The South was winning streak at that time, as if it was going to win, so Li Mengyang told Gatling that you would wait until July. You will see Davis again in July, and then you will have the opportunity to negotiate this business.
To be honest, Li Mengyang didn't say why he did this. He was a time traveler. However, this guy Gatlin was almost treating His Majesty the Emperor as a god. Really, he was so magical. So great!
all-hail-lee!…Gatlin often shouts in his heart. Every time he shouts that, he will have a wonderful effect of refreshing spirit…
Now, after a big battle, the South lost only underwear. Then our American New Tang Empire threw out an olive branch at this time. Oh, it should be said to be a lifebuoy, so it will naturally come naturally!
This is the power of this transaction. On the one hand, we made money and were old people who dealt with it. The revolver is actually almost out of the way, and the soldiers also had various problems during their use.
On the other hand, we have built another force, which can completely help us resist powerful opponents, this force... referred to as mt, or meat shield, yes, this is the character of the Southern Hell now!
Li Mengyang is simply... so witty!
At this time, integrity and other things are broken! For our empire!
But in fact, there is another point, that is, the details that can be negotiated in this business, the price of guns and ammunition. You should know that this guy Gatling has received an order not to sell machine guns to the Southerners. This thing is too powerful, but despite this, the revolver is also a good product. Although there are some problems, it is several levels better than the front-mounted rifles that the Southerners used more often, so this thing can definitely be sold at a good price.
So, is it that we collect money using dollars issued by the Southern government?
Yes, the Southern government has also issued paper money, also called US dollars, which looks pretty good, but can we ask for it?
Li Mengyang plays finance, currency, and is so playful. Can he ask for these things that look like waste paper?
Then, do we want real money?
According to information, the Southern government has actually had a trend of collapse in its economy. Now the price of a barrel of flour in Richmond has reached $70!
This is nearly ten times more in the east, so the southern government must have no real money.
Cotton, don’t forget cotton. There is more cotton in the south!
Yes, this is exactly what Li Mengyang wants!
Why does Li Mengyang want cotton?
This seems a bit wrong, isn't this equivalent to bartering?
This is a trading regression!
That's right, that's true, it's indeed a regression. Li Mengyang knew very well, but he knew more clearly who these cottons were sold to before.
British people!
Why do British people buy cotton?
Isn’t it just to produce foreign cloth and then dump it onto China!
This leads to the third key point of this transaction. Li Mengyang ate the cotton that originally bought by the British. So, why do he want these cotton?
Could it be like those farmers who can't sell cotton to play?
This is not a joke. Since the South entered the war, they had an advantage at the beginning at sea, but not long after, the ironclad ship Virginia was challenged strongly. The Northerners took advantage of their strong industrial advantages and also created an iron-capped ship. Their construction speed was faster, so the north now blocked the South.
The cotton that cannot be sold starts to burn!
This scene is very similar to the scene in 1929 that Li Mengyang learned about. Anyway, it cannot be sold, so it will not be given to the poor. It is just burned. Such incidents are often seen in newspapers in the south.
Of course, Li Mengyang would not have the idleness to play with it. After he ate these cottons from the United States, he would of course develop his own empire's textile industry!
You know, California had a textile industry before, and it was pretty good. Li Mengyang still remembers that he had been to someone's store.
So, where do you sell these cloths and textiles?
Where do the British sell them?
Isn’t that the opposite side of California and the other side of the Pacific?
Yes! The goal of Li Mengyang's business this time is China, that is, the Qing Dynasty at this time!
Then this matter...isn't people not doing business with us? (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
