Chapter 329 You seem to have overlooked something

"What! Manhattan has also been breached by the Confederate forces! ”

"What! Stanford is over, Newhaven is over, Hartford is over! ”

"What! Connecticut burned down! ”

"What! Rhode Island was also burned! Massachusetts was also burned down! Boston has also been breached! ”

"What! The Confederates have invaded New Hampshire and Maine again! ”

In Washington City, Lincoln and others can receive bad news from the Northeast every day, and every time they capture a city and occupy a place, Yang Dongfang will send the news in time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This put a lot of pressure on the people, and every day was like adding a thousand pounds of stones to their heads, and they couldn't kick until Boston was also breached.

Lincoln and the others were completely disappointed, all hope was dashed, and they could no longer hold on.

The economic blow is far more terrible and ferocious than the military strike, which they cannot bear.

If the Southern Army is allowed to wreak havoc in the Northeast, the Federation's economy will rewind by several decades, and more people will lose their homes, jobs, and all support for the Federation.

So they took the initiative to find Robert Lee and said, "General! Please stop the invasion of the Northeast, we promise to surrender unconditionally, all Union forces withdraw from the South, do not attack the South and the Southern armies, make peace between the North and the South, and allow you to establish the United States of Union. ”

Outside Baltimore, inside Grant Camp!

"General! New York State rioted! The Irish marched around, calling for a truce, an end to the war! ”

"General! There were riots on the Boston side too! It was the Irish who were the first to march to grab supplies, boycott the government, and demand a truce! ”

"Bastard! These damn Irishmen, how did they not starve to death in Ireland in the first place. Grant was physically and mentally exhausted, the northeastern states were captured by the Southern army, and there were continuous anti-war demonstrations in major cities, because the supplies began to be scarce, and the cities after the Southern army left, mainly Irish immigrants continued to loot and smash the surrounding towns.

The contradictions among the people are getting higher and higher, and the rift between the various races is getting wider and wider, and you must know that in New York, one of the four people is a descendant of Irish immigrants, who did not advocate civil war in the first place, and hated the use of troops against the South.

"General! Soldiers everywhere have been sitting in silence to resist their lives, and they are also demanding a truce! ”

Grant, with dark circles under his eyes, asked, "Who are the people who are calling for a truce?" ”

"General! Most of them are our whites, and blacks are still very supportive of the fight. ”

Of course yes, these? This war started because of them, and Grant couldn't help but say that the biggest beneficiaries of this war were these.

Then the order was given to have the assault on Baltimore halted again.

He felt that Washington might have to make a new decision, that the war should be over, that the remaining ammunition was almost consumed, and that without the Northeast states, the source of ammunition would have to rely on overseas purchases, which was far from feasible.

At the same time, it is necessary to organize manpower and send a small number of troops to suppress riots and demonstrations in various places, and the Federation has reached the worst time.

Although he was unwilling, Grant was smart enough to know that the possibility of peace was getting bigger and bigger.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, a horse delivered a message, and Washington officially launched negotiations to end the Civil War unconditionally. ”

"What about the Navy?"

"Navy?" Grant shook his head and snorted, "I'm just the Commander-in-Chief of the Army. It is impossible for the navy to withdraw their troops before the peace treaty is really signed, so it is better not to let the southern ghosts open their mouths, at least this four-year war cannot be lost so ugly. ”

Did you finally choose to give in? But I'm still going to give you a big package, I haven't had enough yet?

After receiving the news from Washington, Yang Dongfang immediately divided the 5,000 men into two, and the 1,000 men set out north towards Caibaren, and also invaded Vermont, and then swept through the middle of the country to attack the area around Lake George, where they could wait for an opportunity to go north to join the other 2,000 troops.

It is also possible to attack Saratoga Springs in the south, because Yang Dongfang ran back to Boston with 4,000 men, and continued to loot the harbor city, destroying the docks, attacking warships, and towing the Union army.

It then reversed the railroad line from east to west, passing through Springfield to Albany and returning to New York.

Five days later, the army reached the Hudson River in east-central New York, and spent four days breaching the three nearby cities of Albany, Troy, and Schenectady.

It then stopped here to tear down the railroad to Syracuse Northwest, further damaging the federal railroad line and destroying rail traffic.

At this time, the 1,000-strong army that had reached Lake George marched south to capture Saratoga Springs and came to converge.

Another 2,000 troops captured Burlington, the largest city on Lake Chample, and then marched into northeastern New York and along the National Mirror Line to Lake Ontario, targeting Syracuse.

Washington!

"Yang! You're finally back, you see this peace treaty is okay! ”

Yang Dongfang didn't even glance at the text of the peace agreement, because he had already read the treaty inside, which can be said to be very simple, first of all, the North and the South armistice were armistice, the establishment of the Union State was recognized, and the United States became independent.

Then each withdrew its troops from the territory and returned their captured army personnel.

There was not even a ceding of land, reparations, and a peace treaty was more like a truce.

The South believes that the North was defeated and the war was triggered by the invasion of the North, so the Federation wanted to compensate the League for the interests damaged by the war in various parts of the South.

The north argues that the war is a matter for both sides, and the southern army of the alliance has also hit the hinterland of the north, burned down many cities, and suffered heavy economic losses, and if the south wants the north to compensate for the losses of the southern cities, then the south will also compensate the north for the losses of the northern cities.

At the same time, the Northern Army also faintly proposed the navy as a deterrent as their last reliance, after all, the basic states of the alliance are on the coast, and they are still being blocked.

If the South must pay reparations from the North, then continue the war, and the economy of the South, which is already vulnerable, will not want to improve.

"I don't have a problem with your treaty, but did you overlook something important!"

As long as he can negotiate and sign a peace treaty, Yang Dongfang will not call for reparations, and the federation will not pay reparations to the alliance, because this is none of his business, and it has no meaning to him.

Both the North and the South were stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, they felt that everything that should be talked about had been discussed, that is, the most difficult issue of reparations, which was also solved by each step, and there was nothing that was not mentioned.

"Envoy! Almost? ”

The secretary sent by Davis said cautiously, and the federal secretary of state, William H. Seward, also said: "Yang, this time we are sincere in our truce, and there is no treaty that is unfavorable to the alliance, I don't know what is missing, you can bring it up directly, and we will discuss it." ”

Yang Dongfang glanced at everyone, then took out a wooden pole for people to hang up the map, and poked directly to the western California and said: "You have forgotten here, I solemnly remind you that I am not only the special envoy of the alliance, but also the commander-in-chief of the army of the Western American Empire." On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor Norton, I participated in this war of independence and fought for the independence and freedom of the Western Empire. ”

"Huh!" The people of the Confederate countries were stunned and looked confused, yes! The envoy is bringing Norton to form an alliance against the Federation. The Western American Empire is our ally.

"Poof!" When everyone in the Federation heard this, they all vomited blood from their mouths, and their eyes were about to bulge out.

Marni! Isn't it enough to get a Yugoslav Federation? You're also going to rip Ximei out, get that bullshit Norton here, and divide the West.

The people of the Federation were stimulated, and someone shouted on the spot: "This is impossible, we agree that the independence of the Union is the last tolerance, what is West America, Norton is just a beggar, we will never allow the West to be divided as well." ”

"That's right! The West cannot be divided. ”
