"Go north to reason! My Duke, what are you thinking? On the train to Richmond north, Chen Yucheng was so anxious in the box that he kept turning in circles, and he almost opened the window and jumped out to find a short view.

, he also felt that he should be reasonable-! After all, the American people have the ability to think and will not be fooled by the federal government and the Republican Party. Once they know the truth, they may be on the side of the League against Lincoln and the black-conscience factory owners, and maybe the League will be reunited...... Although there is not much hope, you should always give it a try.

"How can you go north to reason! Duke...... Could this be what Emperor Napoleon III meant? He wants the American Civil War to end sooner? Chen Yucheng really has the intention of seeking death, he has worked hard in the United States for so many years, and he is waiting for this opportunity to make a contribution! As long as the American Civil War lasts for three and a half years, and both sides are exhausted, then the western United States will not be able to split off and form some kind of kingdom. How can I fall into a 6th Army Minister at that time, right? This is the founding hero...... But now it looks like it's going to be gone by old Peel. Chen Yucheng sighed heavily, then stomped his foot again, sat back in his seat in a huff, and did not speak to Old Peel. It's just that my eyes are closed, and I don't know if I'm dozing off or I don't want to see the old French man in front of me. The entire box suddenly fell silent, and only the sound of clangling wheels hitting the rails remained.

……

Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States of America. Now it's a sea of soldiers. The position of the American capital was really awkward in this Civil War. Because it is on the front line of the war between the north and the south, and it is only across the river from Virginia, a major military city in the south, it may be attacked by the southern army at any time. So after Lincoln was sworn in as President of the United States. immediately set about strengthening Washington's defenses. On April 1, after the news of the Coalition's bombardment of Sumter Fortress came, a large number of troops were drawn from nearby areas to assemble in Washington, waiting for the training to go south to clean up the southern separatists! And more importantly, the United States is still a country where everyone has guns and everyone is a soldier. Neither north nor south, east or west. That's all the same. So three or four times the number of people in the North is a great advantage, which means that the army in the North can be three or four times more than in the South! If the maximum mobilization is carried out, there is no problem in forming an advantage of 30,000 to 10,000. A civil war of this level is not at all solved by foreign interference! After all, they are not separated from France and China across the ocean, and they can transport thousands of troops. It's already the limit, what can you do? Now wait for the defeat of those farmers in the South, and then we can use protective tariffs to further stimulate the industrial exhibition of the United States, and in three years at most, the United States will be the most powerful industrial country in the world.........

A man walked in, barely heard of footsteps on the carpeted floor, but it still woke the president from his own beautiful fantasies. Look up,. In the more than two months since the Minister of War took office, there have been few such happy times. Lincoln hurriedly greeted him, "Simon, how's it going?" Just got back from the barracks, right? Are all of our boys in high spirits? ”

, I found an armchair and sat down comfortably, and said to Lincoln with a smile: "Mr. President, I just got a reliable piece of information, and the Southerners are going to attack Washington first!" ”

"What? Are they going to attack Washington? How many people know? Lincoln was stunned and hurriedly asked.

"There is an army, about men, that is the main force of the Northern Virginia Legion. It is said that it was Davis's idea, and he wanted Beauregard to lead his troops north to reason, to capture Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, and then to promote the truth of the South to American citizens there. ”

There was silence in the president's office, and the two men looked at each other like this. "Oh my God! How could Davis be so naïve! They just chose such a person as president? At this time, I still want to be reasonable...... What a lovely southerner! Still, Simon, is this news really reliable? ”

"Very reliable, Mr. President. We have a lot of intelligence agents in Virginia who have heard this information, and it's obviously accurate. ”

Virginia is now split in two, with the mining districts in the west on the side of the north and the agricultural districts in the east supporting the south. However, the supporters of both sides are not really so clearly distinguished, and it is very common for you to have me and I have you, which makes it convenient for the North to inquire about Virginia's intelligence.

, continued: "There is also news that Davis purchased a Jason-Type 188 rifle from the Richmond Arsenal, all of which are equipped with the Northern Virginia Regiment, probably because he thinks he has the capital to make a fight, right?" ”

"It's unimaginably naïve!" Lincoln Ha smiled, the Union Army was now armed with one of these rifles. Moreover, there are many factories in the North that produce firearms, and they can quickly make a similar model based on the Jason-188 rifle, so that there will not be the high price of the current one, and maybe all the Union troops will be equipped with this kind of serial rifle. Of course, the premise is that the Southerners can hold out until that day!

"Simon, what is the War Department going to do with this adventure of the Southerners?" ”

Brigadier General McDowell believes that this is a great opportunity to completely annihilate the main forces of the rebels! The Potomac Corps had already assembled 8 of its men and had an overwhelming superiority in strength. Now that we have a rough plan of action for the enemy, we are completely able to formulate a targeted plan. For example, on the east bank of the Potomac River, wait for the southerners to cross the river and attack and destroy it in one fell swoop! ”。 In fact, it was a half-crossing attack, using 8 people to attack the alliance army to 3 people, and there seemed to be no possibility of defeat!

President Lincoln had never fought in a war and was not a soldier, but he would have done such arithmetic problems. 80,000 is bigger than 10,000, so you can definitely win!

So he nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Okay, go and tell Sù Owen, I approve this plan, let him do it well, it is best to take Richmond in one go, as long as the Richmond Arsenal control is in hand, the war will end soon." ”)
