Chapter 135: The Civil War Is Still Wonderful! Panama, you have to keep it for yourself!
On March 8, 1862, off Hampton Roads on the Atlantic coast of the United States, the Union fleet was on a mission to blockade the Confederacy. The top nod said that this is what they have been doing all along, and the purpose is to blockade the economy of the south, and everyone knows that the south depends on cotton, and as long as the export of cotton from the south is stopped, then the economy of the south will be in shambles.
Of course, this time the British were dissatisfied, but there was the Agamemnon before, and it was obvious that the Northern Federation was an Englishman who had negotiated the conditions.
And the 8th was Saturday, the day of the Bundesliga's washing, and the battleships in the north were all covered with clothes for them to enjoy the sun, but at night, a big black ship came from the south.
USS McMarley!
The warship was covered in four-inch-thick iron armor, and although it was originally a wooden ship, it was now wearing armor!
McRowrie, the Secretary of the Navy of the Confederate, was originally the Secretary of the Navy of the United States, and after the outbreak of the Civil War, he immediately went to the South to do the work of the Secretary of the Navy again, and this McMurley is his proud work, but now the ship should be renamed Virginia.
When the Virginia appeared in the field of view of the Northern warship, the Yankees were still immersed in sleep, so what is the next result?
Three ships of the Northern Army were sunk, and the remaining eight also fled in a hurry!
It should be said that in this naval battle, ironclads played a vital role, but if we can open the map, the Northern Army is stationed in the Hamptons. The port of the Confederate army was Norfolk. Between these two places...... It is only a dozen nautical miles away.
Hey~ such a distance. Dare to do any pulp washing, and still sleep a lot, it's speechless.
This naval battle indicated that the Southern Army temporarily broke through the blockade of the Northern Army, but it also made the Northern Army see the importance of ironclad ships.
Mr. Lincoln, who used to jingle loudly, is now constantly slapping his thigh, and he is also scolding that old bastard Buchanan for not doing anything, because there was someone in the first place. An alcoholic Swede named Erickson mentioned to Buchanan about ironclads!
But don't forget that the industrial base in the north is very strong, and it is not difficult to have such things as ironclad ships, especially those wrapped in ironclad.
suffered losses at sea, not to mention the Northern Army on land.
In January '62, Major General McClellan finally couldn't hold back and issued Operational Order No. 1. The whole army marched. But in fact, this battle order was given by Lincoln, and Lincoln felt that this McClellan was simply a shrunken turtle. It's unbearable.
With an army of more than 90,000 people, this guy doesn't dare to move, which is really strange.
As a result, there were many victories at first, but when it was about to reach the city of Richmond, strange things came out again.
On February 27, the federal army tried to take control of the Potomac River, but when the troop carrier passed through the locks of the Guò Chespik and Ohio Canal, it found that the hull was six inches wider than the locks.
Can't get by!
You can't live or die!
Lincoln wasn't shooting his thigh, he was shooting his own head, "Who can tell me what's going on?" Why didn't the general ask the ship about the locks that he couldn't pass before he spent $1 million to get there? ……”
Lincoln was restrained at the time, if others would have scolded his mother.
Just entering March, Robert. Lee suddenly came out with the Southern Athletes, like a fighter, McClellan was sick with typhoid fever again, and the entire Northern Army fled in a hurry again......
Li Mengyang could never have imagined that the Civil War, which was so praised by Marx, was such a strange mixture, he ...... What is this guy doing now?
"Comrades! Clint. Marshal Lee is watching us! Advance! ”
"Ulla!"
"Marshal Lee taught us! We all come from the big family of labor, and our battle cry: 'Unite as one'!"
"Ulla!"
April 1, 1862, this day is April Fool's Day, but Li Mengyang is not going to joke with anyone, and on this day, the revolutionary fleet came to Panama!
Panama, how important is this?
Li Mengyang has coveted this place for a long time, this time he made an unprecedented general mobilization of all the combatants before the battle, and he made an impassioned speech to inspire everyone's morale!
However, before that, Uncle Xie had already taken a ship to Panama in advance, and his task was very simple, that is, to find Huang Rong in Panama City, so that he could explain the message that his uncle wanted to bring.
So...... That's right, it's still the recipe, it's still the taste, it's the inside and the outside!
Therefore, in Li Mengyang's mobilization speech, he particularly emphasized that he must not do anything with the Chinese, that is, a guy like him, never beat such a person, absolutely not, everyone is a comrade, they are!
To say, Panama is also a very interesting place, before Huang Rong and they fled here, there were originally Chinese workers in this place, and after the arrival of Huang Rong, a group of Chinese who escaped the high tax burden in California, the number of Chinese in Panama was a bit excessive.
Exclusion of Chinese!
Like California, this place is also Chinese-exclusive, but it is not as desperate, and on the one hand, Huang Rong's gang has some Americans who come out, such as Leland. Stanford such. On the other hand, Panama is not very stable right now.
At this time, Panama belonged to New Granada, which originally belonged to the United States of Gran Colombia, which was founded by Bolivar, the famous revolutionary of the South American independence movement!
Bolívar is very famous, as long as you study history, you know something, Li Mengyang naturally knows it, but he is really not familiar with it.
In fact, there is no need to be familiar with it, because at this time, Bolívar has been dead for a long time, and the current New Granada itself is split, and then after the split, her internal situation is not stable, and her own people are competing with her own people!
Other words. Civil wars are now prevalent in the Americas. New Granada, on its part, was also in the civil war. Therefore, although they are also Chinese exclusion, more often than not, they don't care about you Chinese.
These things are all Xie Zhong, and Li Mengyang is also called Uncle Xie, and he said it, so what is this......
It's just wonderful! God help me!
Yes, almost like the New York Revolution. The conditions are all ready!
Not only that, before Li Mengyang led the revolutionary army fleet to Panama, this place did not know the news of the Cuban independence revolution at all, and the news was transmitted too slowly in this year, so Panama had no defense, and they were still fighting a civil war.
So what else is there to say about this?
It's still the old way, smuggling arms into it first, and the Huang family's ketchup fleet, their goods are a lot. The customs side has long been dredged smoothly. When Uncle Xie came back, the fleet brought a lot of weapons.
Li Mengyang also sent his personal bodyguard Mai Lili back. Let him instruct those Chinese workers to train, shoot, and then wait until April 1st, and do something!
The city defense of this place in Panama is not comparable to Havana, it is not a level at all, this place is rotten, anyway, the East and the West want to exchange goods here, and everyone comes.
At the time of the attack on Havana, more than 50 people were killed and more than 100 were wounded on the revolutionary side, but when it came to Panama, the number of casualties dropped to single digits, and the number of wounded was only in double digits!
Victory!
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
In the tsunami-like shout of 'long live' of the revolutionary army, Li Mengyang boarded Panama City in military uniform!
"It's my uncle!"
The Chinese team naturally came, and they contributed a lot this time, but after all, they were not regular troops, and the team was quite chaotic, but Uncle Xie's eyes were sharp, and he soon saw Li Mengyang.
"Huh? Is it really Li Boy? "Huang Sanye doesn't believe it!
I really don't believe it, as soon as my daughter came back and said that she had found Li Mengyang, Huang San's head shook like a rattle, and he even felt that his daughter was crazy. It wasn't until Xie Zhong came back and said that Li Mengyang was also his uncle, that Huang San believed it somewhat, but he didn't see the real person, and he still doubted it.
In these years, the people are not as good as dogs, so can Li boy's luck be so good?
"Brother Mengyang!" But Huang Rong's sister didn't care so much, she saw the person in her dream again, and others couldn't pull it and rushed over.
"Who?"
"Don't move!"
What is Li Mengyang's identity at this time? Then he has his own guard by his side, and Liszt doesn't come out to 'escort' immediately?
"Don't shoot! Don't fucking shoot! Li Mengyang looked at this posture, his head almost didn't explode, if a fire didn't hold, the girl would die in front of him...... I can't even imagine this scene!
"Brother Mengyang!" Fortunately, the guards also saw that it was a woman, so Huang Rong and the others threw themselves into Li Mengyang's arms!
"That's a lot of people." Li Mengyang's old face was red, there was no way, there were comrades in the revolutionary army all around.
"Hahaha......"
"Oh ...... don't say it, someone is really making a fuss."
However, there are also people who are secretly sad.
......Seeing this scene, Yelena's heart ached, 'Another one!'
Really, Clint. Li is such a bastard, how can he provoke so many girls?!
However, what made Elena even more uncomfortable was still to come.
After Huang Rong's sister heard Brother Mengyang's words, she immediately withdrew, and it was not good to be a child anymore, so Li Mengyang had a chance, he could speak.
"Comrades!" After finding a higher reef, Li Mengyang began to speak, "This is Panama!" It is the choke point that chokes things! From today! This is ours! This will be our home! Can we let someone else take it? ”
"Can't!"
"Absolutely not!"
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
Revolutionary comrades, the crowd is excited!
However, Elena is stupid, didn't she say that she wouldn't take up other people's space? Why does Cuba want Panama if it doesn't want it?
"This big liar!" (To be continued......)
