Chapter 247: The Evil Deeds of the U.S. Army! Embarrassed Sward!
At the London Peace Conference, Liszt, who had just finished pinch with the French Foreign Secretary, faced Sward again.
"Soldiers of the United States of America, they have done a lot of outrageous things in Mexico! I can swear to God! That's definitely not a decent person, no, that's definitely what a person can do! Those soldiers, they burned, killed and looted! They are not aimed at our soldiers, but against the local people of Mexico! Even they force local women...... It's outrageous, outrageous! ”
"Wow......"
Liszt said these words, this is an extremely serious accusation, you know, the army of this era, although the European powers know that the army will do some very immoral, inhumane, extremely shameful things in many cases. However, the political figures in Europe are these aristocrats or something, and they must condemn them.
Yes, don't look at this matter, some of them commanded and ordered it, but they must be criticized, such as the previous burning of the Old Summer Palace, the British were also scolded at the time, but they did not forget to share the silver and interests.
So, politics is like this, sometimes it's really disgusting, but the current Liszt is taking advantage of this, at least you nobles, you nobles, you have to keep 'decent'.
"It's all slander! Outright slander! Naturally, Ward won't admit it, and the others seem to be angry, very angry!
But in fact, Ward has no bottom in his heart......
Really, as a member of the government of the Northern Union of the United States, Schward is the head of the people. The first person under President Lincoln. How did he not know what the state of war was in front of him?
The United States at this time. The civil war continues, and the civil war between the North and the South has entered a delicate stage, and that is the trench station!
This trench battle is not to be underestimated. The tactics invented by this villain, Li, directly led to strategic stalemate. If this is a stalemate, then something will happen, because neither the north nor the south can quickly solve the opponent, so they want to win. Don't they want to recruit?
The Northern Federation of the United States has come up with a trick, that is, 'total war'!
Let's put it this way, maybe the term general war has not been mentioned, but some of the words they have spoken and some military orders issued by these generals in the United States have already been very obvious.
In fact, as early as 1864, the north and the south had already entered trench warfare, and in order to break through this trench. A general in the north is a general under Grant. William. Sherman, he came up with something to march into the ocean!
This thing is interesting, in fact, it is the scorched earth policy, and this policy is very interesting, oh, the military order of this policy is written like this.
First, it is strictly forbidden to harm civilians.
Second, the main destruction of military resources, whether to expropriate or destroy private property, depends on the local resistance process.
Hey, isn't that a good thing to say, it seems to be moderation.
Don't worry, let's see.
Fourth, during the march, the army will be free to gather food in the fields. …… See, you can collect food freely, and there are rules behind it, don't disturb residents' homes, don't violate people's civilians...... Okay, let's think of it as moderation as well.
…… Sixth, horses, mules, carriages, and other belongings of the inhabitants, cavalry and artillery could be requisitioned freely and without restrictions. …… Later, it is also said to be restrained, to be temperate.
But can these so-called 'temperance' be of any use?
On the battlefield, you give the soldiers such rights, who can restrain the soldiers' behavior?
Sward himself knows that those so-called moderations are all fucking bullshit, he is not a child, he is not so naïve, naïve enough to think that as long as you say, don't do that, don't hurt civilians, then the soldiers will be obedient, and even people who think like this are not naïve at all, but idiots! No brains!
Moreover, Article 2 stipulates, 'depending on the local resistance process', who is this 'seeing'?
Doesn't this mean, as long as I decide that you resist, then you are resisting, or simply, it doesn't matter who the fuck resists or not, anyway, I'm going to say, of course Lao Tzu is robbing, burning, and killing!
Because each of them is actually like this, first of all, the army is free to do it, and then it is temperance, and then it is still the so-called resistance that they themselves consider, and besides, even if it is the so-called 'field' food, is it not property? Is it possible for civilians not to resist?
Sward knows very well what the American federal soldiers will do, and the reports also write clearly how these people do, it is really a miserable death!
It is said that the villages around Atlanta are now gone, a scorched earth!
And what is that strong...... It's really not a big deal, and there are even reports of soldiers killing babies in swaddling clothes!
Of course, this qiē can't be made public, absolutely not, and the reason why this is done is to destroy the economy of the south, so that they have no way to support this war, this qiē, in Schward's view, is acceptable, it can be done like this.
However, the effect was not too good, and the southern economy seemed to have been hit less than expected, and this seemed to have something to do with the American empire.
But now, Sward was a little scared, because he knew very well that the army sent to Mexico was Sherman's army!
There's no denying that Sherman is very good at playing, but he's the one who came up with this scorched earth plan, and he went to Mexico, so if it's something......
Soon, Ward's fears became a reality.
"Gentlemen! This is the evidence in my hands, please see! Liszt pulled out a few photographs, "Look! The people in these pictures, they're all Mexican locals! Look at the tragedy of their deaths! Check it out! This one had been burned into a pile of black coal, and this one, his intestines were flowing all over the ground...... Oh God! I'm about to throw up! It's a village reduced to ashes! Gentlemen! These are the atrocities of the army of the United States of America! ”
Suddenly, Ward's face instantly turned white, even though he was a white man. But it's really scary to be so white.
"Oooo
"Oh my God!"
"It's outrageous!"
"Mr. Sward! You should explain! ”
On that photo. It's all all kinds of tragic situations. Although it's black and white, it's so amazing that it really makes people want to vomit.
"No!" But at this time, Ward still denied it, it should be said, he could not but deny, "Gentlemen! We all know that there is such a thing as a photo. It can't have been filmed at the time! ”
Oh yes, this Sward is really powerful, very quick.
You know, in this year, it's still very tall to take a picture, not everyone has this financial resources, so it's not easy, so that is to say, the cost of this thing is very high, and it is naturally very troublesome. So, want to take pictures. It's hard to be documentary, for example, in the current situation, it's hard to take these photos at the time of the crime.
"This ......" Everyone present at the meeting also reacted, but after all, this photo is stored in zài?
However, Liszt did not dwell on this, and he smiled.
"Hahaha......" laughed loudly, only to hear him continue: "Sward! You frog at the bottom of the well! You don't even know about the technological development of our American Empire! My great Clint. His Majesty Li I, many of his inventions are amazing! Forget it, I told you you you don't understand, hum! These photographs, although not taken at the time of the crime, were taken not long after the arrival of our Imperial soldiers! Still, I think you can quibble! It doesn't matter, I still have the personal accounts of local Mexican civilians on my hands! I'll read it to you now! ”
Tell? That's ...... I'm! It's a big deal! There is physical evidence and human evidence!
"That afternoon, a group of American soldiers in blue shirts and gray pants came, and they began to loot the food in the village without saying anything. They couldn't help but beat us up and even shot us later...... They sword our women! They killed our people, the elderly, the children, and did not spare them, and finally burned the village...... I hid in the grass for fear and died......"
Liszt's voice was plain, completely devoid of his usual agitation, but it was simply the whole audience who listened, and the hairs stood on end!
"Mr. Sward! You, the United States of America, must give you an explanation! ”
"That's right! Such atrocities should not exist in the civilized world! ”
"God, are you really not afraid of God's punishment? Or are you already Satan's followers? ”
Almost instantly, the entire conference room was filled with condemnation of Sword, and the United States of America he represented!
The one who called the happiest was Clarendon IV, and this old guy's wig was going to fall off in anger, and he was trembling.
However, Disraeli didn't say much, because he felt that in this matter, in terms of interests, killing people or anything was for the sake of the means to win the war, and interests came first.
"I ...... This...... No...... That's not right...... That's not the case......" Sward now had a hundred mouths and couldn't explain it, and finally he had to say: "This so-called narration is not completely certain that it is Mexican!" ”
To be honest, this accusation is stupid, how can something that can be taken out on such an occasion be rootless?
Liszt smiled: "On this text, there is the Indian's signature and handprint, in Spanish." In addition, if you don't believe me, you can go to Mexico to see, this gentleman has multiple burns on his body and is being treated in the Mexican hospital of the Empire. Also, Mr. Ward, if there is a syphilis epidemic in your U.S. military, our empire has a special medicine. ALL-HAIL-LEE! This is all the great contribution of His Majesty the Emperor! ”
Sward felt as if his face was being smacked, and he swore that he would never be a wolf like this in his life...... (To be continued......)
