New Orleans exploded that shocked the world. Explode. Although mainstream public opinion believes that the United States of America did it, and most of them have mixed opinions on the matter.

Those who agree believe that the fact that a latent naval officer of the United States can do such a thing is in itself a sign of great courage and wisdom, after all, such a strategy similar to a sea Trojan horse strategy requires not only ingenuity, but also a fearless spirit that is not afraid of death.

Because doing this kind of thing is basically death and lifelessness, it is an act of ending up together, and the fact that Americans can do this shows how strong the patriotic spirit is, regardless of the motive, the dead soldiers who do these things are indeed worthy of admiration.

Those who oppose it argue that the United States, mainly the officers of the United States, is disregarding human life, and that they use this dishonorable conspiracy against their enemies, and even if they win, they will not be honored, because others will not be convinced, but will be annoyed and angry.

Looking at the current Britain and France, they were still in a state of verbal declaration of war against the United States and in essence avoiding war, but now that this kind of thing has happened, the whole country is angry and has begun to make great efforts to deal with the United States. So in terms of the final result, even if the Americans won a momentary pleasure and destroyed several warships of the other side, even if they were heavyweights, they lost their moral sense strategically.

In the face of opponents, most of the supporters were dismissive, because they felt that with the urine of the British and French, even if they could not do this, they would sooner or later devote themselves to interfering in the American Civil War.

In other words, it was not a good thing for the Americans that the British and the French did not send troops before, because the British and the French did not take action, like a sword hanging over their heads, which made the Americans always be on guard. Worried about the attitude of the French and the British, he was afraid to do things. Well, now that the British and the French have made it clear that they are going to take action, the Americans can instead work together to meet this challenge with all their might.

Most of the supporters believe that the United States, that is, the United States of America, still has strong human and material resources, and the overall strength is superior, and they are facing only Britain and France, the worst outcome. It was also much better than the situation faced by the French Revolution.

Since the French Revolution was able to succeed in the first place, once the United States, as the party resisting aggression, once its more than 20 million people are united, and the United States is not part of the industrial power of other powers, it is not yet known who will die.

Generally speaking, it was the European middle class and intellectuals who opposed the increased interference between Britain and France, and they were generally sympathetic to the United States. To think that this interference in the American Civil War, especially helping Southern slave owners against the North, was a complete farce, even if there was a New Orleans explosion this time. Bombing. They didn't change their minds either.

On the contrary, the upper and lower classes of the British and French people, who held real power, were mostly supportive of the idea of increased interference, with those at the top in power doing so to be able to share more benefits, and the people at the bottom because of that bit of national pride. Or they were fooled by the promises of the upper echelons, and they urgently needed an outlet.

Whether they are for or against, the views of these people are mainly on whether or not to send troops. There should be revenge, and as for who the murderer is, most of them believe that the United States of America did it, which is the so-called mainstream.

Of course, in addition to this mainstream, there are also some non-mainstream people who have different views on this, and most of their so-called non-mainstream ideas are related to Aaron. Pinkerton's idea coincides, that is, whoever benefits the most will be the most suspicious.

For now, the Port of New Orleans exploded. Although the bombing case achieved great results, blowing up three warships and severely damaging one ironclad ship at the same time, it could not be regarded as a nerve-wracking blow for the four countries of China, Britain and France.

On the contrary, it is more like a provocation, a provocation that provokes the face of the four countries at the same time, and this provocation is not only not good for the current United States of America, but rather harmful, because it will anger other countries that have not yet done it, and add more trouble to themselves.

Therefore, if we look at who can benefit the most in this matter, then the murderer is undoubtedly about to come out, that is, the Confederate States of America, which is still in a passive position and urgently needs the assistance of other countries.

You know, the Confederate States of America now seem to have stabilized the front and maintained a phase of stalemate with the United States, but on the whole, the Confederates have lost some territory, and they are still on the defensive side, unable to carry out a counteroffensive at all.

The reason for the inability to counterattack, in addition to the increasing number and strength of the army of the Union State, is also related to a new tactic, and this new tactic is the so-called trench warfare.

Long before, General Mead of the Union Army had achieved some success in the Battle of Gettysburg through a trench tactic, and the commander of the Northern Virginia Regiment in the south, Robert Brown. General Lee quickly learned this and dug a larger, more complex trench position in the Fredericksburg area, and with this trench position like a spider's web, he effectively resisted the superior army of the Union Army, so that the opponent could not form an effective attack on the Union Army at all.

It soon became clear that once one side had dug a trench position of a certain size, it would be a nightmare for the attacker, because the defender only needed to have one-third or even a quarter of the attacker's number of soldiers to effectively defend against the attacker with a large-scale trench position, and the attacker would undoubtedly have to pay a greater sacrifice than usual if it wanted to make progress.

In the previous Battle of Fredericksburg, the Union Army, as the attacking side, faced the Union army defending the trenches, paid heavy losses, but did nothing, and there was no decent result at all, which finally made Lincoln decide to remove Hook from the position of commander, so that George . Gordon. Mead became the commander of the Potomac Legion.

Although Hook was the scapegoat, after the war in Tongguò, everyone discovered that the appearance of trenches, especially when combined with the seemingly simple, but in fact vicious, barbed wire, would be a nightmare for any attacker, and from then on, the shape of war would be completely changed, and everyone would no longer be lined up as before. The queue for a knightly duel was shot.

In other words, the advent of trench warfare and barbed wire has changed the shape of warfare, especially large-scale warfare, which has made the past sports warfare a thing of the past, and trench warfare, or war of attrition, has become the mainstream.

In this case, it's not just Robert. Lee would build the trenches, and General Mead of the Union Army would also build the trenches, so it was around Fredericksburg on the Eastern Front. The two sides simply stayed in each other's trenches and then engaged in a kind of quiet confrontation.

In addition, on the western front of the lower Mississippi River, although the Chinese relied on advanced weapons and surprise attacks to eat the two main armies of the United States of America in a row, they still stopped under Memphis.

Although many people think that the Chinese are not logistically good, some people believe that the Chinese no longer take advantage of the victory to pursue, and it has a lot to do with the trench positions in Nashville.

Those who believe believe in it. The Chinese stopped at Memphis and no longer took the opportunity to defeat the under-armed Nashville because of James. General McPherson had already built a ring of trenches around Nashville, and later mobilized citizens to augment and fortify it. And it was these trenches that made the Chinese feel that the attack was worth the loss, so they did not attack.

In the end, the Americans themselves believed this statement and believed that the Chinese would not fight Nashville. There is both a lack of logistics and a fact that Nashville has built trench positions, because of that kind of trench positions. It is the best way to restrain mobile warfare, and even if the Chinese have so-called ironclad vehicles, they will definitely be useless in the face of such potholed trenches.

In short, it was precisely because this trench tactic played a fairly good role on the eastern and western fronts that both the north and the south quickly learned this kind of thing, and even the barbed wire thing was learned by both sides.

Not to mention the Union countries, although they lack industry and cannot manufacture it themselves, they can directly spend money to buy barbed wire with the Chinese, although the Chinese barbed wire is a little more expensive, but the practicality is not to say.

As for the United States of America, although it is not possible to buy high-quality barbed wire from the Chinese, they have good industrial strength and can imitate this barbed wire, even if the imitation barbed wire is not as good as China's, but it is also useful, as long as the number is enough, the effect is still very good.

Fundamentally, the emergence of a new tactic of trench warfare is a major contributor to the fact that the North and the South are now in a state of stalemate, because it makes it more difficult for the attacking side.

However, this is an era when machine guns are not yet prevalent, so although trench tactics have appeared and begun to be popularized, if the defender does not have strong firepower to support, then the role of the trench is also quite limited, although it will cause strong damage to the attacker, but if the attacker does not hesitate to attack with an iron heart, then as long as it is willing to pay more than three times higher casualties than before, it can still be breached.

Therefore, whether it is the United States or the Union countries, it is very clear that standing up for tactics is only a thing to strengthen the weight of the defensive side, and in the final analysis, it still depends on who is stronger, and this war is far from over.

The reason is very simple, when Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and compulsory military service, as time went by, the military superiority of the United States would become more and more obvious, and the advantage of the Confederate soldiers would eventually be defeated in the face of the United States' tactics of crowding, so they should not only find ways to continue to expand their troops, but also actively seek external support.

In terms of expanding the number of soldiers, the Davis administration was already doing it, but they could not do anything like Lincoln to make compulsory military service, they could only use various methods, such as strengthening honors, to encourage young people in the South to go to war.

In addition, President Davis is also considering the issue of arming black soldiers, and if nothing else, a series of policies will be introduced this year to regulate the arming of black soldiers.

But in any case, because the Confederate countries of the South were much weaker than the North in terms of total numbers, and did not have a strong industry like the North, they could send a large number of manpower out to serve as soldiers, on the contrary, because the Confederates were a plantation economy and a slave system, once a large number of manpower was withdrawn, the impact on the economy would be great.

Therefore, even if the Confederates go all out, even if they also implement the compulsory military service system, the total number of troops may exceed that of the Confederate countries, not to mention that it is impossible for their system to implement compulsory military service, nor can they recklessly conscript black soldiers as cannon fodder as in the North.

In the North, blacks are freedmen, so they can be called up as cannon fodder with great slogans and relatively generous treatment, but in the South, blacks are the private property of white slave owners. These slave owners were the cornerstone of the Southern government, so not only could they not forcibly conscript blacks into the army, but even if they did, they would certainly not be able to use them handily.

To put it bluntly, the black soldiers in the north, who are free people who have nothing, can only obey the orders of the government, while the black soldiers in the south, which are more like the private soldiers of slave owners, in terms of command convenience. It's not the same.

In short, there are more than 22 million people in the north and only 9.1 million in the south, and if you count the whites alone, then there are 20 million whites in the north and only more than 5 million whites in the south, and the difference in population base is not an order of magnitude.

There is still strong industry in the North, almost no industry in the South, and better institutions in the North. In particular, after Lincoln came to power, he issued a more effective mobilization system, but the South was stalemate and aging, and the mobilization system could not be compared with the North at all. Even in terms of government efficiency, the South is not as good as the North.

In short, in terms of both hard and soft power, the Union States are far inferior to the Union States. Therefore, even if a confrontation is formed temporarily, as long as it takes time, the United States will continue to accumulate sufficient strength. Then it is completely possible to rely on the method of exploding the sea of troops to drown the resistance of the Allied States.

As for the Chinese, although the Chinese are also very capable of fighting, everyone believes that as long as the United States is willing to sacrifice and use the method of military tactics, it can also drown the Chinese.

In short, it would be very detrimental to the shape of the Confederate States if it continued to drag on, so the best way for the Confederates at this time was to immediately seek foreign aid, and then strike a destructive blow to the Confederates before the Confederates were fully prepared.

Even if it can't be destroyed, at least it is necessary to make it impossible for the Union to follow the conscription and training, or at least to destroy the industrial base of the other party, so that they cannot use the armed forces and explode the army with peace of mind.

Therefore, in the four-nation alliance, the alliance countries sincerely hope that the other three countries can make timely moves, but now except for the Chinese who have moved a little real and really sent troops to fight with the United States, the British and French are all talking and moving, making it clear that they want to continue to watch the excitement and then look for the best time.

In this way, the Allied countries must be the most anxious, because once the final defeat, the British and the French can easily get out, the Chinese can also pat their butts and leave, anyway, across the Pacific Ocean, the Americans cannot help China for the time being, not to mention that China's participating troops are only a private mercenary expeditionary force, not at all China's national army, the two sides actually have a buffer, or the steps can go down.

Only the Confederates are now working with all their might against the United States, and if they fail, they will never recover, so the Confederates are the strongest in terms of the eagerness to want Britain and France to enter the war.

Now the Port of New Orleans is bursting. Explode. After the incident, Britain and France became angry and began to send troops to intervene, and the happiest people must have been the people of the Allied States.

Furthermore, the Port of New Orleans exploded. Explode. There are many doubts in the case itself, and the so-called Trojan horse scheme at sea sounds like that, but for a truly experienced senior officer, he knows that it is difficult to do.

Not to mention the Confederates, the French and the British were both traditional maritime powers, and their naval officers and men were well-trained and had a long tradition.

This so-called long tradition generally means that there is a discipline that has been inherited from the past to the present, and most of these disciplines are the summaries of some experience, which is a very valuable thing.

Since the navies of the British and the French were both highly disciplined, how could it be possible to let the so-called outsiders board the ship lightly, and even if the outsiders were allowed to board the ship, how could they be casually bribed, and then let them transport supplies and transport a large number of explosives and ammunition on the ship?

You know, even if the supply ship of the Chinese is forgotten, this can also be pushed to the relatively short naval history and lax discipline of the Chinese, but the navy of the British and French, whether it is a first-line combatant or a second-line logistics personnel, has a set of rigid discipline, and it is impossible for them to let a group of outsiders bring in such a large pile of gunpowder without noticing it.

In particular, among the battleships that were sunk, there was also a first-class battleship Battle, which had undergone key protective modifications, and this was a big guy with a displacement of more than 3,800 tons!

A big guy like the Fight, due to its sheer size, plus a lot of watertight cabins. Generally speaking, it is very difficult to sink, and even if the internal destruction is not just to blow up the bomb-drug-storehouse, it is impossible to blow up and sink so quickly.

However, it only took five explosions to sink the 3,800-ton Battle, and it is said that this kind of explosion did not cause the bomb, the ammunition, the storehouse, the martyrdom, and the explosion, but was simply blown up by the five explosives attacks.

So, if there are only five explosions, how much explosives can be used to cause this? Anyway, the British say. If it was less than 500 kilograms of explosives, it would never have been able to blow up the Fight.

The 500 kilograms here are actually black. Fire. medicine, because at present, other countries have not yet undergone fundamental changes in the development of explosives. Gunpowder is still mainstream.

Although everyone says that the Chinese have once again taken the lead in the world, that is still just a legend. It's something that circulates in a small circle, and even if it's this new is fried. Medicine, without three or four hundred kilograms, cannot cause this effect.

Of course. Most importantly, the results of the investigation showed that it was indeed black powder that caused this effect. Because the place where it was blown has a noticeable blackness. Fire. Traces of medicine.

In short, no matter what explosives are used, blow up the Fight. The amount needed was definitely not small, but how could the British naval officers and sailors not notice any problems when such a large amount of gunpowder was brought in?

Of course, since the incident has happened, it is pointless to say that it is impossible, so even if the British and French navies are slapped in the face, they can only swallow their anger and admit it.

However, everyone agrees that the British and the French, no matter how careless, will not let unknown locals get in, and those who have the opportunity, or the ability to do so, can only be their own people.

Therefore, as the host of the Union State, there is no doubt that the suspicion increases, because the port of New Orleans is still the territory of the Union State, even if the Chinese occupy several important strongholds, but the most powerful is definitely the Union State.

Then, the Allied States, as the host and the allies of Britain and France, naturally have the opportunity to transport gunpowder in, and who would believe that their allies would stab them in the back.

In fact, this conspiracy theory, although it is still not the mainstream view, has been affirmed by the British and French leaders, because even they believe that the United States does not have the need, let alone the strength to carry out this qiē, and that only the Union has this motive and strength.

However, although the top leaders of Britain and France, especially Queen Victoria and Napoleon III, believed that this incident was actually done by the Allied States, in this situation of no proof of death, they could only push the boat and force the matter on the United States of America, not to mention that they seemed to be quite willing to bear this black cauldron.

Didn't President Lincoln make a speech saying that the people of the United States should learn from the heroes who inflicted heavy losses on the enemy in the port of New Orleans, and that the people of the United States should unite and do their best to resist these invaders?

Now that the U.S. government has recognized it, there is no point in pursuing who is the real culprit, and this is indeed an excuse that the British and French governments need.

Because the British and French governments also saw that the United States seemed to be stronger the further back on, especially that President Lincoln, who was a completely ruthless man, and did not hurt the United States in advance, knocked out their industrial base and pride, burned the flames of war to their homeland in advance, and let their people taste the consequences of the war for themselves, and in time, when they were really ready, relying on their strong industrial strength and population base, to explode a sea of more than three million soldiers, then there would be no point in talking about anything else.

All in all, all countries now basically have a consensus, that is, the biggest suspect in the New Orleans port bombing-bombing case is actually the Union State, followed by the United States, but it is the United States that bears the black pot, and the unlucky ones are the British, French and Chinese.

But in fact, everyone doesn't know, they all guessed wrong, the real murderer, or the initiator, is the Chinese who have been ignored by everyone!

That's right, the New Orleans Harbor bombing was planned by Li Yongji from beginning to end, and the people who actually participated in the operation included agents of the Central Intelligence Agency, special forces of the Qianlong Special Combat Team, and members of the Mother Frog Special Operations Team. Moreover, this operation was not a temporary idea, but a premeditated and planned plan for a long time. That's why it runs so fast.

Speaking of which, long before Sun Xiangbing and others came up with the plan B, Li Yongji came up with a plan to compete with the clam in advance, and the original intention of the plan was the same as the meaning of plan B, that is, to drag the British and French into the water, so that they could not continue to be free outside, and to detonate a major war between the United States and Britain and France in advance.

As for the method, Li Yongji also thought about it, that is, to slap Britain and France in the face. And there is nothing else that can knock down the self-esteem of Britain and France more than blowing up the capital ships of Britain and France.

This was the 19th century, the era of sea power, Britain and France were able to dominate the world, and they were most proud of their navy. This pride was not only felt by the British and French leaders, but also by their people, who were proud of their powerful navy.

So, if you can blow up their capital ship. Then blame the United States, then there is a great possibility that Britain and France can be pulled into the water in advance and let them have a big war with the United States.

Based on this idea. The plan of the sandpiper clam fight began, and this plan is actually very simple to say, it is nothing more than the old method, using the frogman army. Looking for an opportunity, they quietly dived into the water, and then planted high-explosive explosives under the British and French warships. Then detonate together at the right time.

In order to get rid of his own suspicion, in this attack, Li Yongji not only blew up a ship of Britain and France, but also bombed a ship of the Allied States and a ship of his own, making it seem as if the warships of the four countries had been damaged, and the four countries became victims.

On the surface, it seems that the warships of the Allied countries suffered the least, but in reality, it was China that suffered the least damage.

Because the Chinese side did blow up and sink a ship, but there was not a single living person on that ship, and before it was sunk, the ship was empty. As for the so-called dead and injured after the incident, they were all empty lists made by Li Yongji, and there were only names on them.

As for the memorial service for the Chinese victims afterwards, it was to find some people who had died a long time ago to make an appearance, in fact, there were no victims at all, it was just a show.

This is done in order to be realistic, because Li Yongji himself knows that it is a little difficult to fully believe that this matter was done by the United States, in this case, it is better to find more suspects, and there is no one more suitable than the Union State.

Therefore, Li Yongji deliberately asked people not to blow up and sink the ship of the Allied Powers, and the explosion effect of the ships of the Allied Powers was also minimal, as if it were a show, so that the spearhead of suspicion could be aimed at the Allied Powers.

Although everyone recognized that the United States was the murderer, some people felt that it was done by the United States, and it was even said that President Davis of the Union suspected that it was his own hands, and began to secretly investigate the matter.

Anyway, at least so far, no outsider has suspected that the Chinese are the ghosts, because even if the United States and the Union States are not suspected, the most suspicious are the French and British, and finally the Chinese.

No way, who made this incident, on the surface, not at all good for the Chinese? After all, apart from the United States and the Confederates, as far as the British and French are concerned, they are still somewhat suspicious, because they can use this incident as an excuse to openly expand their intervention in the American Civil War.

On the contrary, the Chinese have now been on the opposite side of the Americans, and everyone is already fighting, so there is no need for this matter, so everyone does not think that the Chinese will be murderers.

Of course, in order to do a good job in this matter, Li Yongji took great pains, and there was no rumor in advance, and even the people who did it were invited for foreign aid, because the main force of the action was the mother frog special combat team, and the mother frog special combat team was still in China before, and Li Yongji specially sent a high-speed yacht to China to pick it up, and the equipment they used was directly purchased by Li Yongji from modern times.

The person who did it was a female frog special combat team secretly picked up from China, but in order to make the blame act successful, Li Yongji also deliberately found some Chinese whites to carry out a bitter meat plan, and asked them to repeatedly drill with the CIA people in advance and wait for the explosion. Explode. If the case is successful, these white people will be arrested as suspects.

When the time comes, the Chinese interrogators will "torture" them, and they will be accompanied by people from the Allied Powers throughout the process, and they will also see these scenes, and in the end, these "suspects" will not be able to stand it anymore, so they will confide the truth and push the matter onto the United States.

Obviously, the torture was fake, and after the play, these people would be secretly shot by the Chinese, and the execution process would also invite people from the Union countries to visit.

People in these allied countries would never have imagined that in this era, there are still empty cartridges and remote-controlled blood packs, because these people who were shot were all using modern acting props, they seemed to be shot, and the flesh and blood were blurred, but in fact, they were all blood packs installed on their bodies in advance, and the people who fired the guns used empty cartridges, and as soon as the guns rang out, these executed suspects would explode the blood packets on their bodies, and then die miserably.

All this qiē, from a distance, will not see any problems, and the Chinese will hastily dispose of these people afterwards, and even less can see the problem.

In the end, these suspects who have confided the truth and have been secretly executed because of the seriousness of the matter will return to China and change their faces, and no one will find them again.

As for the so-called Trojan horse scheme that secretly transported explosives into it, it was obviously something that fooled people, just as the British and French navy leaders said, with the plain rules of the British and French naval officers and men, how could it be easy for people to get mixed in, and also bring in so many explosives?

Therefore, this is purely the same method used to blow up the combined fleet of the British and French forces in China, which is to use frogmen to plant explosives and explode them at regular intervals under the water.

Now, things seem to be quite perfect, at least Britain and France have been really angry, already planning to play the real character, and even better, no one would have thought that in this quiz called who is the real murderer, the Chinese with the lowest probability is the real murderer of this incident!
