After Thomas Edison took Li Mengyang's 100,000 US dollars, he was really happy for a while. The 100,000 US dollars this year is really a lot of money.

Of course, it would be even more enjoyable if it was before the Civil War.

Not to mention others, it’s Sellers Field. This guy was a rich man and a successful man before he made the Atlantic submarine cable, but how much was his net worth at that time?

$120,000!

Before the Civil War, this was a rich man. Of course, the US dollar depreciated a lot after the Civil War, and the banknotes were also gone.

However, this 100,000 is really useful. If an ordinary person gets so much money at once, then he... will spend not long after!

This is usually the ending of a windfall, this is how people are, the shortcomings of human nature. Thomas Edison is no exception. This guy also wanted to enjoy it at the beginning, and then he restrained himself, but how could this kind of thing be so easy?

When only ten thousand dollars were left, Edison finally woke up!

Not bad, most people will probably spend all their money. For example, when there are records in later generations, many of those who won the lottery ten years later are not as good as before they won the lottery...

There is actually another reason here, that is, when Edison ran away, he wanted to make something, that is, the light bulb!

The situation at that time was that the empire had created a light bulb, but there weren't any other places. This thing was still boycotted by the United States of America, so it was really a good deal. The most critical issue now is to get this light bulb out!

Edison walked in a hurry, so he just saw the appearance of the light bulb. He didn't know what the filament inside was.

But this one is nothing. Edison’s characteristic is one trick, try one by one!

It should be said that Edison's method is not smart. Because of this, many people disdain to do it, and this is actually Edison's opportunity.

So again and again, failures began!

Edison has used almost all the materials he can find, and when he was about to use up his ten thousand dollars, he finally found them, which is tungsten!

Actually... it was not such a coincidence. This guy Edison bought a product exported to the UK and then removed the light bulb to understand!

**Naked copycat, and this guy makes sense!

"Who is not a British copy now? I am also a British copy!"

Well, the reality is indeed the case. Almost all industrial systems in the United States are copied from the British, but... forget it, I don’t care about these details anymore. Anyway, Edison has created his own light bulb and went to the Patent Office!

"What? Has been applied for?"

When Edison ran to Washington to apply for a patent, the guy was stunned!

But this is not right. The United States resists the products of that empire, and it does not recognize it!

"Rockefeller..."

That's right, this person first applied for the patent for this light bulb, and this person also applied for an alternating current technology patent.

AC power?

Of course, the light bulb has to be powered, so Edison naturally studied the current world's electrical theory. Although he is stupid, it is not difficult to do electricity now, and Li Mengyang can understand it.

Since it is AC power, it’s someone else’s. Just get a DC power yourself!

So Edison developed some related technical patents until now.

Originally, the total amount of money was to make a lot of money, but I didn’t expect that the empire was actually fighting!

There is no other way. If the emperor caught Edison would be dead. He is still young. He is really young and he can't die.

Escape!

The plan has been made. It is to run from New York to Boston, then take a boat from there to Europe!

The UK should be doing AC electricity, so Edison can only go to the European continent, France, France is good!

Edison then determined his goal, but France... the matter has not yet broken out, right?

Some people left, some people stayed, but the normal riots in New York...

"Look at that! The fire is burning!"

"New York is going to be in chaos!"

"What did His Majesty the Emperor say?"

"It seems that your Majesty wants a complete New York, and our emperor should not damage every grass and tree in New York..."

"this……"

In the steel giant St. Francisco in New York Harbor, Matthew McConaughey, Samuel DuPont and the old drunkard Erikson were discussing that they saw Manhattan on fire, and the order they received before was to take down New York intact!

New York is a huge city in the world today and the largest city in the United States. It is now the commercial and trade center in the east. Naturally, such a place should be destroyed as little as possible, and this is the main reason why the San Francisco was taken out!

Such a super warship was swaying here, and Li Mengyang felt that if you don’t surrender, then?

It should be said that the effect is still very good, but I didn’t expect this detail, which is quite unexpected.

The first one, just now Matthew and others, they didn't know that Sward was dead, and no one expected that Sward would be on the Constitutional Number.

The second one, because of Sward's death, the soldiers he had recruited could not be restrained, which was also an accident.

Third, that is, because we have to take New York in full, DuPont got that ultimatum, and then Matthew gave him another ten hours. This is the rule set by ourselves, can we break it ourselves?

So, the current situation is that the super fleet of the Empire is not moving, nor is it looking like this, so what should I do?

But sometimes, things are very, very unexpected...

"Hey? Look!"

Just as Matthew and the other three were studying how to do it, they found that a British warship was approaching them, with a white flag on it and a lifeboat was placed down!

This is obviously a posture to talk about, which is very good.

Then let’s talk!

"Generals! We all surrendered! We all surrendered! Now please go to Manhattan and quell the rebellion there, okay?"

The person who came was nothing but the great nobleman Earl Clarendon!

"All surrender?" Samuel DuPont returned to control the giant ship at this time, so he came to make an idea, but can you believe it after surrendering?

"General DuPont! Please believe me, I am Count Clarendon IV. I swear by this name that we have really surrendered! Not only our British ships, but also the warships of the United States have surrendered! If you don't believe me, please see!"

It doesn’t matter if you think this is the case. You really want to say that the warships of the United States are all hung with white flags!

So what's going on?

The reason is very interesting. Isn’t Manhattan in chaos?

It doesn’t matter if this chaos is the case. Most of the citizens in New York are now frightened birds.

Don’t forget that the Great Revolution that Li Mengyang had done before was a lot of trouble in New York, and this was a one-time trip. Then, because of the conscription issue, it was the one that could be exempted from military service for 300 dollars. You should know that there are many rich people in New York and more people paid for 300 dollars, so the people naturally became unhappy, so they made another fuss. In addition, capitalists also used the workers to death, so this...

It can be said that, in fact, since the beginning of the civil war, New York has had several troubles, as if the city has a gene for riots.

This situation has caused the people of New York to learn their lessons. When they see that they are in trouble and are in chaos, they will run away quickly. This requires transportation, and the boat is a very good means of transportation.

So, the British suffered a little. Simply put, there were a lot of refugees coming!

Refugees from the United States of America are rare. If Li Mengyang knew about this, he would be amused and amazed, because the United States, in later generations, created at least millions of refugees around the world, and they didn't care. As for receiving refugees, there is a probability of one in 2,500, and you must be politically correct!

Then the British refugee were numb at that time. What else could they do? Kill?

Not only were there people rushing to board the British ship, but the same was true for the American ship over there. So... Just study it on both sides, and this is already the case. Sward is dead, so what else can we do? Just surrender!

"Okay! Since that's the case, then our Emperor** of course has to fulfill his promise! Now there is a chaos in New York City, and we are here to quell the chaos!" How smart General DuPont is, can he miss this opportunity?

So, the Imperial Super Fleet in New York Harbor moved!

The steel giant beast didn't move much, mainly some of her frigates and Dalgren's ship. In fact, they were also afraid that these British people would be fooled, so they had some tricks.

The frigate is still a guard. Because Dalgren's ship is an old-fashioned warship, such a warship can be loaded, so there is actually an Imperial Army of 2,000 people here!

"Aha! New York! Manhattan! I'm back!"

After landing in New York, Matthew McConaughey, a lieutenant general in the empire, began to show his might and quell the rebellion...

"Thank God! We are finally saved!"

Wall Street, a legendary street, is really in a mess at this time, with many corpses and many messy things, just like the day of the Judgment. And jp. Morgan, a well-known banker, was in a mess at this time. When he saw the Emperor in green military uniform... it was like seeing his relatives! (To be continued.)

ps: That’s right, after watching the ball yesterday, the black car was so excited that it couldn’t sleep all night. It was a bit late. I hope everyone forgives me, thank you!
