Chu Qi, Zhang Zhier and his group returned to Richmond. They were shocked to hear that the imperial fleet of the Empire was intervening in the Civil War. Richmond fell into a brief chaos. Richmond prices doubled in just a few days.

Chu Qi received this news at the first time, and he remembered Lincoln's plan: "I didn't expect that London actually sent a royal fleet. It seems that they plan to destroy the Alliance and reunify the United States when the Ming Empire stops its war in winter."

Zhang Zhier knows only a limited knowledge of what happened here, and she doesn't know that Chu Qi found out that Lincoln had proposed combat plans such as "Plan No. 1" and "advance towards the ocean".

Seeing the chaos in the city, she knew that there was a major change and said to Chu Qi: "Does I leave here?"

Chu Qi nodded: "Lincoln is going to launch a general attack. This time, Richmond may be in danger. You must take the Pacific Railway train to San Francisco, then return to the local area, and wait for me to come back."

Seeing that Chu Qi was so cautious, the situation might be even more serious than she thought. She knew that she could not help Chu Qi here, and returning to the safe imperial city was the biggest thing she could do to help Chu Qi.

Zhang Zhier whispered: "I'll go back tomorrow, you must be careful."

Chu Qi ordered several Zhang Mansion guards who protected Zhang Zhier: "You protect the young lady. If she is a little bit too bad, not only the Grand Secretary of the Dongge will make things difficult for you, but our Minister of War will not let you go."

The Zhang family guards were frowning. The burden on their shoulders was too heavy. If something happened to Zhang Zhier in North America, they would not be able to escape the blame: "We swear to protect the safety of the young lady to the death."

"I'm going to find Davis. He is probably an ant on the hot pan at this time. You go and rest first, and then you may not be able to bear it."

Chu Qi asked Zhang Zhier and his group to live in the manor given to him by Davis, and there were Jinyiwei activities around him, so there should be no accident.

Next he went to the city hall to find Davis. Sure enough, Davis was very busy at this time. He wanted to appease the frightened slave owners of the Alliance and urgently dispatch troops.

He had been waiting outside. After Davis' meeting with the senior executives, he immediately met Chu Qi who had returned from the River Valley front.

"The situation is very unfavorable to us. Lincoln's intentions are almost all exposed. He intends to launch a thunder strike on our Richmond from land and sea, and occupy Richmond without your Ming Dynasty and end the war." Davis leaned on the wooden chair, spitting out a mouthful of white smoke, his face full of wrinkles. "They are about to succeed. The Norfolk shipyard was occupied by them, and the northern army appeared in the Manassas and the valleys."

Chu Qi was silent: "Lincoln and his friends did a good job of keeping secrets, so that our Jinyiwei did not learn that a fleet of the Royal Navy came to attack the Norfolk Shipyard. Have you already contacted our Ming Cabinet to discuss the issue of sending troops?"

Davis smiled bitterly: "The Englishmen took action, this is no longer something our Alliance can deal with. Your Ming Empire is my last hope. Of course, I will send a telegram to the Ming Imperial City for help as soon as possible. Next, let's see our Alliance can defend Richmond before the Ming reinforcements arrive. This may be a tough battle."

Chu Qi's guess came true, but he never thought that the Civil War would bring in the Sun-Down Empire so quickly. The European powers behind the scenes finally couldn't help but jump out and intervened in the Civil War.

Lincoln's move was also very fierce. When no one expected a large-scale war to break out in winter, Lincoln joined forces with the Sun-Down Empire to launch a general offensive, intending to suppress the Alliance at all costs.

With the intervention of European powers, the scale of the war may be even more tragic.

During the meeting between Chu Qi and Davis, Davis's secretary knocked in with urgent news regardless of politeness: "Mr. President, something bad is coming from the West."

The wrinkles on Davis' face trembled: "There is news that is worse than the Royal Navy's participation in the war?"

The secretary's face was filled with anxiety: "Several sections of the Pacific Railway were destroyed by explosives. Local officials believed that it was done by spies sent by Lincoln, and the Pacific Railway was temporarily paralyzed."

Davis stopped calm after hearing the news. He stood up and the cigar in his hand landed on the ground.

The Pacific Railway is of great significance to the Union countries. Even if the Ming army wants to rescue the Union countries, it needs to pass the Pacific Railway to transport the legion and materials to the Atlantic coast.

The Pacific Railway is paralyzed and the coastline is blocked. The Alliance will be at its end and will not be able to obtain assistance from the outside world.

When Chu Qi heard that the Pacific Railway was bombed, he secretly called it a bad idea. Lincoln obviously also imitated the Jinyiwei to carry out sabotage operations.

Zhang Zhier also has to return to the imperial city through the Pacific Railway. Now that the Pacific Railway is being attacked, isn’t she going to be stranded here?

When Chu Qi thought of this, he felt unspeakable. Richmond was likely to be surrounded.

"Please repair the Pacific Railway as soon as possible to ensure that the Ming army can reinforce Richmond in time when the Ming army arrives." Chu Qi didn't have much time to worry about his children's affair. His current opponent is Lincoln. The other party takes action and is also decisive. He must fight back against Lincoln and help Davis defend Richmond before the Ming army arrives.

Davis picked up the landing cigar and twisted it hard in the ashtray: "I will send workers to repair the railway immediately and try my best to restore the Pacific Railway. Mr. Chu, can you ask your Jinyiwei to help us catch the people who destroyed the railway? We cannot allow Lincoln's intelligence personnel to destroy the Pacific Railway without restrictions. That is the lifeline of our Union."

"Of course. This is my duty."

Chu Qi came out of Davis's office. He wanted to report what happened here in time to the commander of the Jinyiwei Shen Jianxing, and ask the Jinyiwei to dispatch more people to North America.

I don’t know how many people the Ming army would send to intervene in the Civil War.

Chu Qi thought that the Civil War in this world was no longer a civil war between the Americans. If both the Ming and British troops landed in North America, then it would be a war between the great powers.

This is the second time that two empires have fought, and they also use the land of America as a battlefield. No matter who loses or wins, it does not seem to affect the lives of the local people.

Chu Qi returned to the manor and found Zhang Zhi'er. Seeing that she was packing her luggage, she planned to leave Richmond and not cause trouble to Chu Qi.
