Alexandria, a city that is not a city now, has ended the previous war, and this dug up mess has become a huge ......

Slum!

It's really like a slum, well, in fact, this is the temporary prisoner of war camp of the Empire, and it can't be said to be a slum, in fact, the more than 200,000 people who surrendered before were placed here.

It won't work if you don't do this, because just before Li Mengyang led the army to fight, Washington's arrangement for the 300,000 army was interesting, and so many people were 'camped' in the downtown area of Washington.

There is a constitutional amendment in the United States that the military can requisition the houses of ordinary people if they feel that it is necessary, and the army has actually caused a lot of trouble for the city of Washington by using this constitution before.

Let's not talk about the controversy of this constitutional amendment, because it is obviously contrary to the spirit of the constitution on the protection of citizens' property, and now Li Mengyang arranged these prisoners outside the city, which has won the support of many original residents of Washington.

They all say that this emperor is good, very good, better than Lincoln......

Well, these are the details.

And in fact, these captives have already been dealt with a lot, so many people, so they also have to eat, right? Why don't you just give them some freedom, collect their weapons completely, and then let them go home.

Li Mengyang's original idea was to give these people some travel expenses, but now because of the huge depreciation of the dollar, this travel fee is ...... It's going to be heavy and hard to hold, so forget it.

Other words. Now everything that can be walked is gone. But I won't go...... It's more than 200,000 dollars!

These captives are not stupid. As a prisoner of war here, at least there is something to eat, although I lived in Washington before, I lack food and clothing......

On this day, the situation changed.

"Gentlemen! We all know that you were soldiers of the United States, but I would like to ask, how many of you have entered the army of the United States of will? ”

in this huge slum. When the food was being distributed, some people from the Imperial Army came, and they were basically white, and there were only a few Chinese who didn't speak. After the prisoners of the United States Army were divided into teams, about 1,000 people, the white men of the Imperial Army began to question each other separately.

Willingly entered the army of the United States?

That's an interesting question, and it's ......

"We have brought in a few priests from Washington, D.C., and we hope that you will answer seriously, in the name of God."

"Huh?"

It's really weird. Why do you have to do this?

But though, since it's a problem. That's it.

The results soon came out, and there were about three or four hundred out of a thousand people, and they came forward and said they were voluntary.

That's not a low percentage, so these individuals ......

"Alright, gentlemen of this section, you can come and get food."

Ay?!

How did they get the food? Why is it still a priority? That doesn't seem right, right?

So, some of the captives wanted to say that they had volunteered to be soldiers, and at least some of them had very good eyes, but ......

"Gentlemen who remained! Now, I want to ask you if you want to leave this place? ”

Leave? It's like...... A lot of people hesitated, because if they could leave, they would have left a long time ago!

But however, those individuals in the Imperial Army have not finished speaking, "Don't worry, the so-called departure is actually to help everyone find a job, now that your war is over, in this case, then everyone always has to work, in our empire, if you don't work, you can't eat, this is the truth that we all agree on." And now, you have to work well, right? ”

Is it okay? Absolutely!

However, there is a premise in this, and that is......

"Could it be that the emperor pardoned us?"

"Yes, yes! Have we been pardoned? ”

A lot of people are asking about this, and that's right, generally speaking, you are soldiers of the empire, and when you become a prisoner of others, you always have to say something, and you can't treat them the same as ordinary people, right?

But how did the people on the Empire's side answer?

"Gentlemen! What are you asking? You have not sinned! ”

No crime?!

Yes, if there is no crime, then there is naturally no forgiveness, but is this really false?

"Gentlemen! Doubt it! You have only been deceived by that evil, hypocritical, deceitful Lincoln administration! You're just being fooled by them! Of course you have not sinned! It's the people who command you, the people at the top, the damned politicians! ”

Well, that's a great explanation.

"Wow!"

"Hahaha......"

"It's just amazing!"

This time I am naturally happy, which means that I will not be held accountable, you know, this empire has an emperor, so life and death are not decided by people?

Well, it seems that there is no shortage of black Li Mengyang as the emperor here in the United States.

However, this is not so simple.

"Gentlemen! Although you have not sinned, you cannot easily return to your home now, and even many of you are afraid that they are homeless, so what will you do in the future? You know, now that the Empire is about to liberate the whole of America, and Lincoln's evil regime is about to fall, you will always have to find a job in the future, so why not find one now? ”

That's a lot of fun, and I'm not telling a lie, because it's true that the days of the United States are not long, but it's also very measured, and it's not about the United States, but about Lincoln's evil regime...... You hack me, I hack you, and the courtesies are still exchanged.

But in fact, the most important thing is to help these prisoners of war find jobs...... Too much Lei Feng, right?

“SIR！ I want to ask, what exactly is that job? ”

"Yes. It's not going to let us go to war again, is it? ”

You see. Man. It's not stupid, these captives also understand that maybe these guys from the empire in front of them are not well-intentioned!

"Don't worry about this." The people on the side of the empire said again, "It's not that there is a war, but that the territory of the empire is constantly expanding, especially in the east, His Majesty the Emperor sees." There is still a lot of uncultivated land here in the east, and he feels that this is a waste. Gentlemen, we don't have much to eat now, do we? ”

"That's right!"

"I really want to eat bread, but now it's only half a corn meal."

This is on the road, in fact, it is right to think about it, although there are materials being transported from the railway, but there are still few, this is the problem of eating and drinking for hundreds of thousands of people.

Actually, it's just about this provision. Li Mengyang gave privileges to the generals on the front line who went out to fight, allowing you to fight in white under certain circumstances!

It's called credit. But it's not good, then this matter is not much different from robbery, but now it can only be done in a hurry.

There is no way, the dollar fell too much, Washington was captured by the empire, and the credit of the dollar banknotes went bankrupt almost instantly!

So, in a state of scarcity of materials, it is right for everyone to go to reclamation, but is it just reclamation?

"Gentlemen! Originally, our empire had a kind of team, called the Production and Construction Corps, this corps is different from what you think, and the word corps is actually mainly for safety. So we need it now, one is a farmer, and the other is the kind of person who wants to protect everyone's safety, but it's not actually a soldier, I'm sure you can understand. ”

This thing...... Yes, this is how Li Mengyang's prisoners of war are applied!

There is no way, the current white people in the east can only use it like this first because of various factors, and they must have resistance to Li Mengyang, the emperor, in their hearts, so they can only do so.

On the one hand, the Production and Construction Corps is really going to reclaim, because there is really a lot of land to be reclaimed in the United States, don't look at the large population here in the east, but there is still a lot of potential, in addition, there are a lot of people, because they saw that empire called, they ran away first, and the land couldn't run, and the most people who ran were rich people.

Li Mengyang, this guy used to be quite famous in New York, and the rich people were afraid of it, and most of the rich people had land, so now it's time for our production and construction corps to plant it.

But this corps is obviously a semi-agricultural and semi-militarized army, so it can be said that this is a transition, and even to put it badly, fool these prisoners of war first!

Of course, in this era, no one will understand why the later CCAV agriculture and military are the same channel......

But the first thing is to screen first, Li Mengyang has educated these white people of the imperial army who came to do the work, and the first screening is to see whether these prisoners of war are loyal to the original United States and whether they have patriotic enthusiasm.

You must know that the American Civil War has been fought for so long, and the people who can still take the initiative to join the army at this time must be inclined to the United States more in their hearts, so these individuals will naturally not be able to use it for the first time.

And then......

"That's it! If you want to do this job, go to the priests and they will tell you how to do it. ”

How?

"SON, please put your hands on the Bible and swear: Loyalty to the American Empire! Loyal to the Emperor! ……”

That's right, swear!

Needless to say, this one was definitely something O'Cassy helped to come up with, and he thought that in this part of the United States, this kind of oath would be very effective.

To be honest, Li Mengyang actually doesn't believe it, but he has already seen the huge role of religion in this era, so let's give it a try.

In addition, in fact, after swearing, there is also some ideological education, such as the newspapers that Liszt is now in charge of, which magnify some black spots in the Lincoln administration, and there are complaints.

You know, these soldiers of the United States are not willing to join the army, so maybe there are strong men in the middle, or they themselves will not be able to live their lives.

Don't say it, Li Mengyang's prediction is really reliable...... It didn't take long for the grievance meeting to start!

Anyway, it's all kinds of means, let's first turn these original enemies into our own people, so that we can plot big things......

However, I have captured a lot of prisoners before, right? Isn't the Battle of Vicksburg the same? What about the captives? (To be continued......)
