"Immediately on receiving your proclamation," wrote Governor Andrew of Massachusetts to President Lincoln on May 3, 1861, "we took up the war, and have carried on our part of it, in the spirit in which we believe the Administration and the American people intend to act, namely, as if there were not an inch of red tape in the world." He had received a telegram for troops from Washington on Monday, April 15; at nine o'clock the next Sunday he said: "All the regiments demanded from Massachusetts are already either in Washington, or in Fortress Monroe, or on their way to the defence of the Capitol."

白话
1861年美国内战爆发,林肯总统号召各州出兵。马萨诸塞州州长安德鲁收到电报后,立刻行动,完全不被官僚程序束缚。他回信说,他们以“世界上仿佛没有一寸红带子”的精神投入战争。结果,周一收到电报,到下周日早上九点,该州所有被要求的军团已经要么在华盛顿,要么在门罗堡,要么正在保卫首都的路上。这展示了果断行动、打破繁文缛节的高效。
上下文
这是美国内战初期的一个真实事例,马登用它来说明雷厉风行的价值。
