Chapter 892: Forcing Him Out
Grant understood that what Sherman said was the truth, that those blacks, under the abolition order of the federal government, had defected to the North, some of them were lured into sweatshops by the capitalists, and lived a worse life than the British workers, and the other part was fooled into the army, taking on the heavy responsibility of charging into battle, and suffered heavy casualties.
In fact, to make a comparison, although the black people in the southern estates bear heavy manual work, they are much better than the north, the black people are the private property of the slave owners, which was bought back for a huge amount of dollars, of course, there must be beatings, but unless they are guilty of heinous crimes, they will generally not be beaten to death, who will be idle and have nothing to do to destroy their property?
Moreover, another evil about slave owners is to deprive blacks of the right to free marriage and child custody, which needs to be viewed dialectically, first of all, to find out, do blacks have a sense of responsibility for their families, their wives, and their children? From the various manifestations of black people, it can be concluded that no, the wife is just an object of venting for black people, there is no emotion, the slave owner gives him a wife, which is equivalent to giving him a venting object, and the slave owner takes away the black child's child to raise separately, maybe the black man is still desperate!
But when the black people came to the North with good intentions, they found that it was not what they thought at all, the black slaves were nominally free after they were emancipated, and they did not belong to anyone, since they were not their own property, the factory owners would definitely exploit them to death, and the federal government would also drive the black people to block the bullets regardless of the casualties, anyway, they would be recruited again after death, and there were four million black people in the United States, and the source was extremely rich.
In addition, the factory owner is not obligated to prepare a vent for the blacks, which is a disaster for the blacks, you know. The desire for that kind of thing is quite strong among blacks, even if some are lucky enough to have wives. But what about the child who is born? The factory owner will not help to raise it, it will only be raised by himself. With a meager income, it is difficult to support yourself, how can you raise children? This has led to the abandonment of a considerable number of black children, although a small number of white virgins will pick them up and raise them, but the vast majority of them will end in death.
In this respect, the Sino-British Joint Communiqué's accusation of abolition is indeed based on facts, and the blacks have also found that the North is inferior to the South through before and after comparison. Now there are gradually blacks returning, taking the initiative to return to the original manor, crying bitterly, begging for forgiveness from their masters, and taking themselves as slaves again.
This is a very bad phenomenon for the federal government, and once a large-scale return of black slaves is formed, it will be equivalent to a big slap in the face of the Lincoln administration, and the Lincoln government will lose the legal basis for continuing to govern. They even had to face huge claims from Southern slave owners.
If the results of liberation were better than those of the South, then why did the blacks return? This forced Washington to remove blacks from the military, but the government could do nothing about blacks who entered the factories. Because blacks have the right to enter factories freely.
Grant shook his head, lit a cigarette as well, and took a few puffs. Cai muttered: "If we don't take the initiative to attack, the Chinese army will definitely stay in the position and not come out." It's nothing in normal times, and we can send more troops to trap him to death. He always had food to eat, but the general election was coming up, and if he couldn't take Atlanta before the election, it would be extremely disadvantageous to Mr. Lincoln, was there really no way? "Huh? Wait a minute! Hearing Atlanta, Sherman suddenly had an idea: "Your Excellency, Commander, I think we have reached a dead end, we may not necessarily besiege the Chinese army, maybe we can lure him out, as long as he comes out, he will lose the defensive advantage of positional warfare." "Oh? How to lure it out? Grant hurriedly asked.
Sherman straightened out his thoughts and said confidently: "The Chinese army is here to rescue Atlanta, then we will attack Atlanta, do you say he will save or not?" If he does not save the country, it will inevitably lead to the dissatisfaction of the military and people in the south of the United States, and there may be a rift; if our army really captures Atlanta, then the war-weariness of the north and all unfavorable public opinion will be swept away, and China's interference in the United States will be tantamount to failure, but if the Chinese rescue Atlanta, we can rely on superior forces and complex terrain to encircle and send reinforcements and break it in one fell swoop. “
"Hahahaha~~" Grant suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, I'll go back and arrange, the position will be handed over to you, just hold it firmly, don't go wrong." "Yes! Your Excellency, Commander! Sherman gave a military salute.
Grant patted Sherman on the shoulder in satisfaction and turned to leave.
That night, after Grant returned to the headquarters not far from Atlanta, he immediately set out to attack Atlanta, and the last personnel and materials of the Chinese army also arrived at night.
But just after a good night's sleep, at noon the next day, the news of the general attack of the Confederate army on Atlanta came.
Before the arrival of the Chinese army, Sherman used flexible tactics to keep going in and out of the mountains, looking for opportunities to destroy the enemy, seizing a series of strategic points on the periphery of Atlanta, compressing the Southern Army in the fortifications, losing the ability to take the initiative to attack, and the situation was extremely bad.
Ai Wei's smile that had not been long in bloom was put away again, and he explained the situation to Wang Feng worriedly.
Wang Feng looked at the topographic map around Atlanta for a long time, the complex mountainous terrain of Atlanta also gave him a headache, as a foreign army, it is obviously a taboo to rush into the mountains to fight, but as Sherman pointed out to Grant, he can't afford the consequences of the loss of Atlanta, and the rescue, the risk is too great, he is not confident that he can easily defeat tens of thousands of troops of the Northern Army in the mountains, but the Anglo-French alliance has not yet arrived.
In Wang Feng's expectation, it was to wait for the arrival of the British and French forces, and the three countries and the American Southern Army would act together to launch a general attack on the Northern Army besieging Atlanta, but now the North took the initiative to attack Atlanta, so he couldn't wait any longer, although the Northern Army may not be able to easily break through Atlanta, but Wang Feng didn't dare to gamble, nor did he dare to hand over the future of the United States to the defenders of Atlanta to decide, and he was not willing to have a rift with the people of the South of the United States for the rescue of the problem unless it was absolutely necessary.
After a long time, Wang Feng asked, "If we send 10,000 people to rescue Atlanta, how likely do you think it is to succeed?" ”
"This ......" The color of expectation in Ivelle's eyes flashed, and then he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of China, although I really want you to rescue Atlanta, but I must solemnly explain that the success rate may not exceed two percent, because the strongholds on the periphery of Atlanta are lost, in the mountainous area, the Yankees have an absolute advantage, and it may be difficult for your artillery to give full play to its advantages, I hope you can consider it carefully."
