Chapter 47 Battle of the Alamo 2

Washington, White House.

Martin Van Buren held a thick stack of letters and proposals, and then threw them heavily on the desk.

"Mr. President, this is today's portion. Do you need me to open it for you one by one?"

Andrew Jackson put down the half bottle of gin in his hand, picked up a letter with one hand, and took a puff of the cigar in his other hand, blowing out a long smoke ring.

"Damn it! Are these people full? The slave trade in the South has been going on for a long time, and they actually said that we should strictly enforce the decree prohibiting the slave trade. Will they go to pick cotton fields in the South?"

"But Mr. President, the British are now ready to expel us from the civilized world. They say we are white-skinned and black-hearted barbarians who are not worthy of occupying the territory of the British Empire."

Before 1815, Britain and the United States broke out in two world wars. After that, the British were deadlocked due to tariffs and raw materials. The Monroe Doctrine made the British resentful.

So the anti-American vanguard at this time was Britain, even more anxious than Franz and the Mexicans.

Viscount Palmerston even claimed that "we should send troops to Texas immediately to drive those American scum out of the civilized world. The land of the United States belongs to the British Empire, and the Americans are a group of thieves who have stolen the property of the British Empire."

Viscount Palmerston's remarks were widely supported in Britain, because the continued expansion of the United States would definitely affect the interests of Britain, and Britain, as the world hegemon, would not allow a challenger to appear.

"Damn British, we have already expressed neutrality, what else do they want?" Andrew Jackson was in a bad mood. The price of American land has risen again. He dared to say that the metal currency in the United States now can't buy half of New York City.

The Indians have just migrated to the west of the Mississippi River, and those politicians have begun to study how to make the Indians continue to migrate westward.

"Maybe, we should suspend the slave trade." A cabinet member suggested.

"That's impossible! If we announce the ban on the slave trade today, those politicians in the South will drive us out of office tomorrow!" Andrew Jackson roared.

"Mr. President, I mean, we should issue a statement, but we don't need to do anything, just maintain the status quo."

Andrew Jackson thought it made sense, and it wasn't the first time he spoke out anyway.

"Okay, you draft a statement announcing that our country prohibits the slave trade and will continue to remain neutral in the Mexican Civil War."

March 6, 1836, Alamo Fortress.

At the suggestion of two military observers, Tasan Anna sent an officer with his letter to persuade the Alamo defenders to surrender.

【General Tasan Anna, the liberator of San Antonio, the president of Mexico, the hero against Spain, the protector of the Indians, the Napoleon of North America.

Hereby declares that Texas is the Texas of the Mexicans and a province of Mexico. Your behavior is a naked act of betrayal, but I, Tasan Anna, am a kind person.

As long as you promise to surrender immediately, I can guarantee that you will leave here safely. I promise to God.

If not, you will be bloodied on the spot! 】

Bowie upstairs took out his cigar and shouted, "Are you done?"

The officer didn't know what it meant, so he answered, "I'm done. This is General Tassan Anna's order!"

"Then you can die."

Bowie put the cigar on the fuse of the cannon, boom!

A shell hit the officer squarely, breaking him in two on the spot, with red and white scattered all over the ground.

Before the surrounding cavalry recovered from the shock, the cannons and gunshots on the city wall rang out, and the Alamo defenders had already aimed at the Mexicans in front of them.

A small group of cavalry, including officers, a total of 11 people, none of them survived.

The furious Tassan Anna directly ordered "Light cavalry, charge!"

Only Stadion and Gabrentz were left in the wind, and the cavalry charged the city? ? ?
