Chapter 313 Truce or not

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Shocking news! General Sherman died in Wilson, and 20,000 soldiers were killed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info. ”

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! The Sherman Legion was destroyed, the Southern Army rose again, and the situation in the South was reversed, and the Federation may be difficult to deal with. ”

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! The Northern Virginia Legion has once again made a name for itself, and Robert Lee has annihilated the Northern Army in the southern states, and has now launched a counteroffensive against the various divisions. ”

With the fall of the Sherman Legion, there was an uproar and discussion throughout the Federation, and dissatisfaction with the Federation began to prevail, and calls for an end to the war began to occupy a certain market.

Confidence in the war in the south began to waver, especially in the states and cities that had been attacked by Yang Dongfang, and the fear was particularly intense.

The dignified General Sherman, the dignified army of more than 10,000 people said that it was gone, and if it was drowned, it was drowned, and the factory houses were destroyed a few days ago.

Now they are the victims of the war, how could they have fallen to this point without this damn war, why did they fight the South, why did they prevent the independence of the South.

Aren't we a free, democratic country?

It turns out that we are brothers, so why don't we allow the South to have its own claims and build its own country.

We are a federation, we are not an empire, all states are in an equal alliance, why can't we withdraw from the federation and attack the south this is a dictatorship, this is a selfish act.

Who should pay for the war, and who is the beneficiary behind it.

Under the spread of certain pro-southern landlords and gentlemen and parliamentarians, the voices inclined to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia began to be confused among the people, and favorable public opinion guidance made the federal war-weariness also begin to rise.

At the same time, in the southern states, public opinion began to tilt, and the people had some confidence in the alliance, especially those conservative forces, who cheered and praised the might, and the activities became more frequent and actively liaison.

Washington! Congress Chamber!

Under pressure from certain public opinion, the House of Representatives had to convene a meeting on the treatment of the South, which was initiated by sympathetic members of the South, for the purpose of discussing and voting on whether or not the war would continue and whether the South would be allowed to become independent.

"This is absolutely not allowed, the south is also part of the Union, and traitors are absolutely not allowed to divide our land."

"That's right, the war must be fought, and we have spent so much manpower, material resources, and funds, so can we just fight the water ticket and end the war in this way, so that we are worthy of the people who elected us? Is it worthy of the merchant capitalists who support us? ”

"The southern ghost just killed General Sherman and his 20,000 men in a despicable way, we still have countless brave soldiers, and so many excellent generals, why should we negotiate with the south."

In the face of the rhetoric that they still want to continue the war in the south, the sympathizers have to play the bitter card: "Why, just rely on the Southern Army to destroy more than 30,000 Sherman Corps and more than 20,000 Eastern Front Corps with more than 20,000 men."

Just with that Eastern devil annihilating our 30,000 or 40,000 militia and 120,000 volunteers all over the Federation, breaking through so many cities, burning down several big cities, and now appearing in New York and Toledo, Ohio, do you know, how many towns he burned and looted on the south shore of Lake Michigan, and then he was going to attack Detroit in Michigan, and then Lansing, do you want to make Michigan a scorched earth? Let the Great Lakes also be in ruins? ”

New York and the Great Lakes both have the existence of the Oriental devil! Both the east and the north are suffering, and every day there are varying degrees of losses, the destruction of railways, the burning of towns, and the heavy damage to the economy in various places have indeed silenced some people.

However, the councilors of the northeastern states and counties resolutely objected because they did not hit their territory:

"So we have to eliminate these traitors, we want to find them for an explanation, destroy these devils, we want revenge, we want to recruit more warriors, how can we lose to the southern ghosts, we have enough population, a large number of supplies, countless processing plants, and endless ammunition, we must wipe out the southern ghosts."

"That's right! We can't compromise, the Southern Ghosts are back to light, and they won't be able to struggle for a few days, as long as we continue to wage a larger war, the Southern Ghosts won't last long, we can drag them down alive, and then Davis and Robert Lee will come and beg us for a truce and give up their independence. ”

"So I'm proposing to increase the percentage of blacks enlisted in the military, from 30 percent to 50 percent, and to get more blacks to join the Union military and serve in the Union war effort."

"Agreed! Agree! ”

Acting President Andrew Johnson was adamant and said, "Okay, then from now on this bill will be passed, and the truce with the South will be rejected." ”

"Damn! You bastards, you're selling out the interests of the Union, you're selling out the interests of the whites, and in the end you're going to get the damn slaves and the vampire capitalists.

While Washington was arguing, Yang Dongfang had already led people into Michigan and advanced all the way to Detroit along the rail line.

Detroit became known in later generations because it was known as the automobile city of the United States, but at this time it was not very developed, with a population of only 70,000 or 80,000, but the people here were strong, because across the river was Britain and Canada.

As we all know, 20 years ago, Americans were full of vigilance against the British, and they were always worried that the British would fight back, so there were many people with guns, and in the border states, every house had guns.

During the Civil War, the Detroit formed a cavalry brigade to join the Union to fight against the Union, and were known as the "Wolverine", ruthless and cunning, and brave in battle.

Of course, this force has been crippled, and is now on standby under George to recuperate.

As early as half a month ago, a telegram came back to reorganize the Michigan Brigade and rebuild the cavalry, and at this time Michigan was recruiting troops everywhere.

So when Yang Dongfang and others appeared, they were resolutely resisted by the local militia, and they all retreated into the big city, forming a militia of as many as 20,000 people, and let Yang Dongfang's artillery bombard, but also stuck in the city and did not retreat.

Several regiments attacked in turn, and there were many casualties.

"The civilians here have a bit of an independent war character."

"Marshal, what are we going to do, do we still want to attack Detroit?" Daniel, the leader of the Devil's Legion, asked, Yang Dongfang shook his head: "No need, we don't need to die here, the shelling in the past two days, the militia inside will not be less dead and wounded, and the city has almost been blown up, we are now marching to the capital Lansing, calculate the time, Smith is about to catch up, he must not bring many troops, and then we will definitely recruit the militia in Detroit to pursue us, and we will come back there." ”

Soon Yang Dongfang and others turned west to attack Lansing, the capital of Michigan, and Lansing City gathered all the militia and civilians around it into the city, leaving empty towns and villages for the devil army.

In this regard, the devil's legions easily destroyed these towns and villages, and two days later arrived at Lansing, wiped and attacked, and found that the militia here was also fiercely resisting, and the troops continued to go west around the city, rushing to another big city, Grand Rapids.

Yang Dongfang didn't believe that there were so many militias in all cities, and sure enough, when he arrived at the foot of Grand Rapids a day and a half later, most of the militia here were transferred to defend Lansing, so it took almost no effort to break through the second largest city in Michigan.

Abundant construction timber was seized here.

At this time, Smith arrived at Lansing with 5,000 regular troops and 10,000 militiamen, and then joined Lansing's militia to kill them.

"It's finally here, General Daniel, you take two regiments to the north, I'll take people back to Detroit, and then capture Lansing, and finally I'll move from Lansing to Flint in the northeast, and sweep north as well, we will meet here, and then we will kill Smith if we have the chance, and we will go to New York to play if we don't have a chance."

"It's an envoy!" (To be continued.) )
