Why did Sward make such a judgment?

Is it that President Lincoln would not have taken his advice, and even if he were president himself, he would not have adopted such advice? The point is that this suggestion should seem to be very reliable and reasonable, but why can't it be used?

The reason is actually very simple, just two words, politics!

To put it more specifically, if Lincoln had followed Sward's advice to go to New York, then it would have been of no use, because if Lincoln had gone directly to New York now, Lincoln would probably no longer be the president of the United States of America soon!

Lincoln was a democratically elected president, he was a Republican, and the country also has opposition Democrats and a partisan party, if nothing else, when Lincoln went directly to New York, then what would be the consequences?

A large area of land in the east is probably going to be finished, because your president has run away, so what are we going to do? Why don't we run?

Besides, the main military forces in the eastern part of the United States are now in Washington, and Washington can't hold it, and your president is still running away, so what is Pennsylvania, what Maryland, what Delaware, what is this area...... It will not be the territory of the United States, it will be taken by the tyrant.

So, Lincoln, the democratically elected president, such a serious 'dereliction of duty', such a major mistake, if you Lincoln does not step down, are you still embarrassed to sit in the presidency?

Even the Republican Party now, all of them have been lobbied and agreed with the plan, and then they have lobbied the Democrats in the same way, or at all. Lobby all the parties. Everyone agrees with your plan. We all felt that we could go to New York, the last defense in the far east, and give the United States of America a last outlet to the sea.

But what about public opinion?

Will voters be lobbied by us? Are they likely to believe in our plans?

When Lincoln wasn't president, what about his shitty last defensive plan?

So it was impossible for Lincoln to agree to this plan, and Lincoln, as a veteran of the political arena for a long time, how could he be annoyed by such a low-level mistake?

Sward is also a political veteran, and he can naturally see it. He's the president and he's not going to do that, but now......

Retreating directly to New York is the best course of action, because there is one of the best things in doing so, and that is time!

The speed of the opponent was too fast, and in less than a year, the American Empire had seized a large amount of territory in the United States, and the speed of their march was simply unprecedented, and the strength was terrifying.

So. Time is of the essence, buy a little more time. That would give the United States' final defensive plan a little more chance of success!

However, if you can't do it now, you just can't do it.

Sward had seen the problem early on, so he didn't speak, he knew that it was useless to say, and there was a deep helplessness in it.

But Lincoln, however, at this time, at the most critical moment of the United States, showed the wisdom of a true example of a statesman.

On the train, Lincoln called Sward into his car, where there was no one.

"Mr. Sword, I greatly appreciate your contribution to the United States, and I greatly appreciate your support for me and your contribution to the Cabinet, so, Mr. Sword, I now appoint you as Special Envoy, and under special circumstances, you may exercise the privilege of the President, and you go to New York!"

Lincoln said just that, and it was straight to the point, his white hair was like a candle in the wind, but this sentence ignited the fire in Ward's heart.

"Mr. President, the United States is great because of you." Swordt bowed to Lincoln.

"I'm sure you should all understand, but I just want to say, don't let the British intervene until you have to." President Lincoln added this point at the end.

"Of course!" What Snowward didn't say.

Lincoln's decision was actually very courageous, he fully trusted Sward, he knew that he couldn't go to New York, and it was very likely that he would never be able to go to New York in his life, so there had to be someone to do the last defense of the eastern United States, and that person could only be Sward.

Ward is the secretary of state, he is in charge of foreign affairs, and New York is a large international port, which is both an outlet to the sea and the last bastion to connect foreign powers, and the supporters behind Ward also have great influence in New York, he is a natural candidate, and it just so happens that he proposed such a plan.

Maybe that's what God bless America, that's what Lincoln thought at this time.

It seems that the fate of the United States can only be to pray for God's blessing......

Whether God will bless the United States is not yet known, because the war in Washington is not over yet, but this development is quite unexpected. It was a surprise to many.

"Lao Liu! What the hell is going on in front of you? ”

In the Imperial Washington Front Hospital, platoon commander Zhou Xiaoshan was on crutches at this time, asking his comrades.

"Zhou Tou, this ......" Lao Liu was a little difficult to answer.

"Say you!" Xiaoshanzi was in a hurry.

"That ......" is a stumbling one.

"Say it! I command you! Xiao Shanzi blushed and had a thick neck.

"Well, it is said that the troops are fighting unusually well, just those United States soldiers, they can't stand the bombing, and they run straight out, like toads sleeping in winter, and their nests have been dug out......"

This parable...... Well, it's more rustic, but it's really vivid, coming out of the trenches, just this action or something......

"Oops!" When the little mountain heard this, he really slapped his thigh hard, but ...... "Ahhh ”

It hurts! The last time he was in Vicksburg, he fought with others with bayonets, because the weapons of the United States Army at that time could not be equipped with bayonets, so most of the soldiers used daggers, and after being tightened, Xiao Shanzi was stabbed twice in the thigh, and almost lost too much blood and was heroic.

This time it's the capital of beating people, he wants to go to the battlefield, even if he can't go up. But let your own team go up. But. It's not possible, the emperor's father said, you kid take care of your injuries, as for the team, the main attack this time is not your lightning troops, just protect a flank.

Indeed, this is for the good of Xiaoshanzi. However, it really made his heart as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.

"Zhoutou! Week! I don't tell you, I'm afraid you'll be angry, you see it's like this, I can't even say it, this is ...... If you want me to say that His Majesty the Emperor is partial, obviously we played well, but now such a big game is not allowed to play, we are in Vicksburg. That's just ......."

"Don't talk nonsense! Your Majesty is what you can say too?! ”

Zhou Xiaoshan, can he still let his subordinates talk about the emperor? That's his own father!

"Yes, yes. I'm just casually saying that His Majesty the Emperor must be long live, long live, long live. Lao Liu's words are simply true.

"Don't talk about these useless things, say something else!" Xiao Shanzi just wants to know a little about the situation on the battlefield now, although he can't participate in person, but it's good to know a little information.

"Oh, Zhou Tou, that's it......" Then Lao Liu began to tell the story he had heard.

Lao Liu tells a story here, although Xiao Shanzi can't come to the battlefield in person, but he also listens to the enthusiasm, but under such a good artistic conception, some noises appear.

"What are you doing? This is a hospital centerpiece, don't break in! ”

"What a hospital! The hospital still has so many guards? We're important people, what's not to come! ”

"What? Are you still important? Forget it! Don't make a fuss, if you want to find a toilet, there's one over there. ”

"You give the old lady to die! We don't look for any toilets! We're looking for your Emperor! Call that emperor out! ”

"Oh, don't do that!"

"What? You still want to find the emperor?! Are you kidding! Haha......"

"Holy! Did You Know? That's it, she's your emperor's important person! ”

"Huh? Hahaha......"

Someone was obviously making trouble outside the Imperial Front Hospital, and even talked about the emperor, this is simple, how can Xiao Shanzi sit still?

"Let's go! Go out and check it out! Who is so bold?! ”

"Okay Zhoutou!"

Yes, this is a field hospital, tightly guarded, why can't a few people take it?

But when Xiao Shanzi came out on crutches, he knew why he was making trouble.

The one who made trouble is a woman, you must know that the women's rights are manifested in the empire, so there are many men who have women, and then the soldiers are not now paying attention to the three major disciplines and eight points, so this can't beat women.

But that woman is really powerful, so spicy.

"I tell you! I'm just going to find the emperor! I know that guy! I did the laundry for that guy! ”

Xiao Shanzi didn't know that the woman who made trouble was not only spicy, but also had many other excellent qualities, such as wrestling with the old man or something, yes, she was Nancy.

But when Nancy said that she had washed the emperor's clothes or something, the expressions of the two people who were with this hot woman changed.

"What? You've done all the laundry for that emperor? Have you ever washed it**? ”

"Mary, don't talk nonsense."

Without waiting for the Imperial soldiers to say anything, there seemed to be infighting among these troublemakers, but when Xiao Shanzi saw the face of one of them clearly......

"Huh?! Are you Eleanor? Xiao Shanzi took two steps on crutches, as if to take a good look at the man.

"Huh? You are ......"

That's right, with Nancy, it was naturally Eleanor and Chesnat who were with her, but at this time, Eleanor saw Xiaoshanzi...... How could she recognize it, how old Xiao Shanzi was back then!

"I'm Xiaoshanzi!" But it doesn't matter, Zhou Xiaoshan can help Eleanor recover her memory.

"Huh? Are you a little mountain? Why are you so old...... Oh, yes. After Eleanor finished speaking, she remembered, it's been so many years, it's normal for people to be so old, okay?

"Haha...... "It's okay, Xiaoshanzi doesn't care about this, but, "Eleanor, why are you here?" What are you here for? ”

Yes, that's the key, Eleanor, what are you doing here? (To be continued......)
