Why haven't Eleanor and Chessnut caught up with the Empire's army yet?

Didn't that Nancy make a deal with the Imperial Army? It's been months, and didn't the imperial army arrive in Washington very early?

True, it stands to reason that Nancy's Cornesto caravan should have caught up with the Imperial army very early, but.

If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat some grass, right?

Gotta give money!

Eleanor and Chesnat were in a hurry when they escaped from Atlanta, the two of them were women, very few in the city of Atlanta, and most of the nurses in the hospital were men, so they just threw a torch at the basement newspaper office and ran away, and it was too late.

The two of them, who had little money on them, got on the train, and the women dressed as men did not have any problems, but the train was forced to stop after more than thirty miles.

Forced to stop by a group of soldiers, they are the soldiers of the South!

After Atlanta was breached, the defenders of Atlanta itself naturally had nothing to say, but an unexpected rout began!

In the cities around Atlanta, that is, on the southern side, almost all the southern defenders, they were like a flock of frightened chickens, hula and ran south.

To put it simply, it's just that I'm afraid, Atlanta can't hold it, so can these places of theirs still be spared?

Grant really didn't think of that, of course, even if he did. It is estimated that the original plan will also be carried out. Because he is afraid, too. And it is quite possible that such a rout in the south will also be temporary.

That's why Eleanor and Chessnut appeared in Nunan, why did they get on Nancy's caravan, but now, Nancy needs money, at least to feed her horses, right?

You know, the Imperial army marched fast, and they left the next day. And it's the same old routine, the vanguard rushes forward on horseback, the large force is behind, Nancy her caravan speed is not enough, and they have to chase the emperor in front.

What about the money?

The Imperial Army's march route was along the Appalachian Mountains, which led to Washington, D.C., of course, for hundreds of miles, but not to Virginia. Not far from Richmond.

In desperation, Eleanor had no choice but to go back to her hometown first. It's to find his father, Robert. General Lee, because he will not be short of money.

Besides, Atlanta was destroyed, so her daughter should also be safe, right? The same is true of Chesnat, even though she is divorced......

So, by all accounts, Eleanor had to make a trip back to Richmond, but it turned out that the journey was not easy!

Grant's army suddenly retreated, which was bound to bring about a change in the situation on the battlefield, and the Imperial army fought all the way, although they politely walked to the edge of the Appalachian Mountains, that is, they tried not to contact the Southern army, but how could the two sides not bump?

Needless to say, the Southern Army is not the opponent of the Imperial Army at all, but this has brought about changes in the battlefield defense situation.

Eleanor's journey home was naturally full of hardships, you know, this group of three women, they had to face a group of soldiers, even though these individuals were defending their own southern soldiers, but ...... They are also a group of ** men.

It was very dangerous, and they had to be careful, so naturally it took a lot of time. Fortunately, Eleanor is Robert after all. General Lee's daughter, some of the generals in the army are still familiar with it, and finally their group finally arrived in Richmond.

Richmond was also devastated at this time, and it was not shelled and bullets that were being hit here, but the people of the south who had nothing to do and made some trouble, smashing and looting or something.

Simple, although the economy of the south has improved, but it is only about to deal with, the civil war has made the city collapse, it is said that now the southern government is doing business with that 'Cuba', it is no longer able to pay anything, it can only be credit, that is, debts, and a lot of resources that are both sold to themselves, such as some mines, oil fields, as long as they can be useful, basically are businessmen from the empire.

There is no way, in such an economic situation, social turmoil is inevitable, and the lives of ordinary people are not good, they don't rob or anything, and many people can't survive.

In fact, every country is like this, before the country is about to collapse, they will first loot the people, in order to make the last fight, and the original rich will be robbed of money, but those who have no money, the bottom of the society, that pay is often their own lives......

Eleanor knew what the South would become, but after she returned home, the biggest trouble was not these, no matter how bad the economic situation was, Robert. Lee could have paid Nancy for the car, and the biggest trouble was that the general didn't want his daughter to leave again.

"Agnes, please, don't go any further. Your father is old, and I can even swear to God that I will no longer force you to marry whoever you want, whatever you want, just to let me watch you. ”

Robert. Li's longing for his daughter can be seen, years of war have really made him physically and mentally exhausted, and this always-upright general feels a little hunchback at this time.

But Eleanor still has to go, and she has to go!

Even if it's not for that bastard, not for their own love, the South is already like this now, who has the ability to solve all this?

Eleanor will always remember how capable Li Mengyang's bastard is, she will always believe that her love will help her fellow villagers, and the key is to help her father, who has become very old.

Of course, you can also take a look at the bastard, scold the bastard, or even hit him a few times, or...... Crying on his shoulder...... No, I, Agnes, must not do that!

Well, before she saw that bastard, Eleanor was already thinking about a lot of nonsense.

In the end, Eleanor finally tried to convince her old father......

In short, it was a lot of delay, and Nancy was a woman who often raised the price, so they walked very slowly, very slowly, but now, they were close, but it was also more dangerous......

On Henry Hill south of the Bull River, Li Mengyang's army was stationed here, and on the opposite side of him, on the other side of the Bull River, the United States Army was closely armed, but now it was clear that these guys were shivering, obviously frozen.

Li Mengyang was standing on the top of the mountain, he looked at the opposite side with a telescope, and at this time the cold wind was cold and the snow was falling.

"Your Majesty! The latest news has confirmed that the government of the United States has begun to issue a new round of Treasury bonds, the amount of which is roughly around 300 million. Okashi came to Li Mengyang's side, and as he spoke, he handed over a telegram.

Obviously, the information on the part of the United States has been fully controlled by the Empire's intelligence network, and now they can transmit it in a much more advanced way, faster than before.

"300 million?" Li Mengyang put down the binoculars, and he looked at the troops on his side.

Basically, everyone on the side of the Imperial Army had thick cotton clothes, and even many people had leather boots, and ordinary soldiers also had a white cape, but the steel helmet was still green.

To be honest, it's better to fight in the snow in all white, so that the effect of protecting the color is better, but now you can do it.

Then the worse the economy of the United States, the empire on Li Mengyang's side will make an economic agreement, it should be said that the current situation is very strange, in fact, the economy of the United States has not collapsed, they are far from being so miserable, but they are now constantly sending money, sending more money.

Is this an artificially created excess liquidity, or a huge amount of surplus, and the economic fundamentals of the United States have not changed, but in order to fill the hole, that is, the financial thing, they have to send more money.

Much like the financial tsunami of later generations, except that this time it was a small, regional economic crisis that was relatively sudden, but in fact did not cause great harm to the economy of the United States, and was a bit fake!

Anyway, it is quite difficult to define this matter, but Li Mengyang knows that since there are so many words for this economic crisis, it is difficult for this crisis to last too long.

In other words, there is not much time left for himself, and he must grasp it.

"Okashi, I wanted to give them a little more time." Li Mengyang turned around and said with a smile.

"......" Ocassi was a little confused, but he was very good at speaking now, "Your Majesty is merciful! ”

Is it really merciful?

Although Li Mengyang is smiling now, there is a ruthlessness in this smile, and his identity as an emperor gives people a very strong momentum.

In the past, Li Mengyang was basically approachable, a little bit like an emperor, but now, all the people around him can strongly feel this powerful aura, and even the people who are overwhelmed!

Li Mengyang didn't feel anything about these changes in himself, he just felt that such a heavy snowfall and such a financial crisis were simply the right time, place and people, and he took them all.

"Order the troops, have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we will cross the river!" Li Mengyang left this sentence, and then walked down from the other side of Henry Hill.

“YES！ YOUR-MAJESTY！ Ocassi saluted and followed.

Tomorrow's attack is decided, but the opponent's defense is also very tight, the trenches are criss-crossed, and the forbidden force is powerful, can the imperial army break through?

Just below this anticline where Li Mengyang descended the mountain, at this time, there was one cannon at 10 meters, lined up in two rows, all of which were the latest howitzers of the empire, not to mention 200 pieces! (To be continued......)
