Chapter 354: Richmond's Closed-Door Meeting!

At a time when New York was about to get through this difficult ten hours, Richmond, the capital of the American Confederate, was also a little difficult to do, and now there was one thing that the Southern government needed to make an important decision!

In the Capitol building in Richmond, meetings were held from morning to evening, and it was a closed-door meeting, but as far as the service staff of the entire Capitol building could see, almost all the important people in the South, political, military, and even business people came, and the closed-door meeting was so large-scale, it was hell!

The point is, after such a long meeting, it hasn't been finished yet!

In other words, there hasn't been a result yet, so what are these guys discussing?

"Gentlemen! Allow me once again to state the reality of our Southern Army, which, after so many years of civil war, is rarely seen as a general of the past, the soldiers who have devoted themselves to this great war to defend their homeland from the very beginning of the civil war. And my student Stuart, and the well-known Thomas of all. General Jackson, and so many heroic, great, and incomparably revered heroes have died! ”

The Confederate military commander-in-chief, Robert Brown. General Lee, who was on the podium at the venue, facing all the states in the south, it seems that there are not a few states left, anyway, it is these characters with heads and faces, Robert Lee gave a speech with emotion, and when he talked about this, he couldn't help but be a little emotional, and tears welled up in his eyes, but as a soldier, Robert . Li still straightened his waist.

"Gentlemen! I don't say this to win everyone's sympathy! We are military men. Be proud to die on the battlefield! But! This war has already killed too many people. They could have had a different life. And now. The state of the army is indeed not good, and most of our soldiers have been forcibly recruited...... Allow me to use that term, because it's fairly civilized...... As for the food, the clothes...... If you have time, you can go and see what the current state of the Southern Army is! And I can't criticize their appearance, and I'm sure no one can! Even so, they are still persistent, which is already commendable. However, there is also trouble with weapons! The weapons we used before were actually things that the empire had eliminated, and now they say that that kind of thing is no longer produced, and many parts and components are in short supply, which directly causes our combat effectiveness to decline! There are many, many other problems, these problems that I, the manager, can't solve right now, and in such a situation, are we still at war with that empire? ”

Robert. Lee said to the end. He naturally returned to the state that the southern military god should be, but only in his last sentence. It's also a big point.

That's right, today's closed-door meeting is about where the Confederacy is headed!

So, Robert. After Lee's speech, what was the reaction of everyone present?

"Well said!"

"That's right! That's it! ”

Bang Bang Bang! Boom Boom Boom ......

The United States is a country of immigrants, so there are all kinds of customs, such as the slapping of the table, this expression is in agreement, and applause is the same meaning, don't think that this is against it, but there is no opposition?

"Shhhh......h

There were also a lot of boos, although not as many as clapping and clapping the table, but there were also a lot of them, and one of these people also had a general who stood up, and he was going to give a speech!

"Robert. General Lee! In the military I should be at your command! But that was on the battlefield! But now, I have to make a statement against you! ”

This general spoke very impulsively, and this remark immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of some veteran generals in the army!

"Shhhh......h

Robert. As the supreme commander-in-chief, Lee naturally had many forces in the Southern Army, such as the commander of the First Army, James Lee. Longstreet, although this guy also has some criticism of the old general, but now, Longstreett still has to support Robert. Lee's.

It should be said that the generals with relatively old qualifications, that are all supporting Robert. Lee's, because these individuals have been fighting for so many years, how can they hope to continue fighting? It's terrible to fight the Yankees, and now you have to fight that empire?

That empire is now beating the Yankees like a withering and decaying state!

So, this is the case with an old general, so if you say so, the one who is speaking now must not be an old general?

"Nathan! You militant! ”

"General Forrestal! Please respect our infantry! We don't have horses like you! When we fight, we are fighting the enemy! ”

"Hahaha......"

Not only boo, but also some taunts, but not ...... This person's name is also out, Nathan. Forrest?

Yes, that's it, if Li Mengyang, a traverser, is also in the closed-door conference room, then he will definitely think of a movie, a movie that has nothing to do with the Civil War, that is, "Forrest Gump"!

Isn't that too out-of-the-box? How can you think of that movie?

Quite simply, Forrest Gump is called Forrestal. Gan!

Forrest Gump's name has something to do with this general, and the most famous thing about this general has nothing to do with Forrest Gump. Forrest is best known for his single-handedly establishment of the Ku Klux Klux Klan!

That's right, it's him!

Let's talk about this Forrestal, he is also an old qualification in the Civil War, because he joined the army at the beginning of the Civil War, and then it didn't take long to pull a team of people, but he was not a soldier before, he used to be a cowboy, a successful businessman, and a slave owner!

Slave owner, still a big slave owner, that's why he is so active in fighting against the Northerners, and even in the original history, when the civil war ended, he went home and pulled up a team, and later it was the Ku Klux Klan.

That's the kind of guy that, so, of course, now he's going to oppose Robert. Lee, because if you don't fight with that empire, there's a lot to say here.

"Gentlemen! I've written down all your insults to me! But though, all I'm going to say now is the reality of our South! "This Nathan. With his dark green eyes, Forrest glanced at the guys in the room who had just booed him, and the scared people were all sweating a little, and then Forrest said, "We've heard Robert Brown before. What General Lee said was that he came from the north, and the conditions that the empire had put forward to our south. And how to get these conditions, to be honest, I feel a little ......."

"Hahaha......" Many people laughed!

What's going on? Condition?

Robert. Li immediately said in his calm voice: "The little girl and the emperor have known each other for a long time, and they really love each other, I have never hidden this!" The reason why I didn't tell you about it before is because the little girl is also very busy and works hard for the independence of our south! Moreover, that emperor is still so far away from us, and he has married several wives according to their Chinese habits. Besides, this kind of thing is completely our family's private matter, and I have the right to make it public! And now, the news brought by the little girl is beneficial to our south, and thousands of deaths and injuries can be avoided, so why should you bother with this? ”

"That's right!"

"Exactly!"

Robert. Lee's words are reasonable, of course, there are many people who support them, but after Forrest pointed out such a relationship, it made some of the original Li supporters hesitate.

yes, you Robert. Li's daughter may become an imperial concubine in the future, so does our daughter have this opportunity?

So, what exactly did Eleanor bring?

I only heard Forrest say: "Although the emperor has made some very tempting conditions, such as not attacking the south and maintaining the current situation, this emperor is not a good thing, and this guy is not ready to recognize our Southern Confederacy?" Our national body is not there! Well, you just said that the situation is inferior to us, and the emperor has recognized our autonomy, so we can bear with it for the time being. I think I can study this, but ! What was the emperor's attitude towards slavery? He's going to free us from slavery! Is this still autonomous? Didn't he interfere with us? ”

Hey, don't say it, this Forrestal's thinking is very clear, and he doesn't feel Forrest Gump at all...... That's right, Forrest Gump is Forrest Gump, he's him, and ah, this guy has gone from a cowboy to a wealthy businessman, and now a general, obviously a successful person, and he is by no means an idle person.

However, Forrestal's words point out a lot of things, so it seems that Li Mengyang, the emperor of the empire, gave the south one condition, autonomy, and this autonomy also includes a clause, that is, to abolish slavery, so it seems very harsh? Can that be discussed and passed?

"Mr. Frost!" At this time, someone stood up, it was Secretary of the Navy McRowrie, this guy had been in Florida before, and now he didn't need it, he didn't need it at all, so he naturally came back, "These things you said are completely misinterpreted!" ”

Hey, this is to give Forrest specificity, so this is to speak for the Empire, this ...... McRowrie's position had a lot to do with the Empire before, so it didn't seem like anything to speak for the Emperor...... He's supposed to be an incorruptible Navy Secretary, well, incorruptible.

So, what exactly will McRowrie say? (To be continued......)

PS: Black Car wishes everyone a happy holiday! In addition, now that the monthly pass is doubled, the black car is shy and asks for a monthly pass, let's vote more, hehehe...... Thank you so much!
