After sending a batch of supplies, Zhang Xinda did not immediately close the call as usual, but started a routine chat with Li Yongji: "Isn't it just to avoid real attacks and add two-sided attacks, as for it, I also gave the name of a two-headed dragon." ”

"The code name of the operation is to be majestic enough and bluff enough, isn't it?" Li Yongji smiled, "How about it, except for the code name, my plan is not bad, right?" ”

"Not bad." Zhang Xinda pouted, "You said that you have such a powerful firepower, a frontal attack, how good it is to have a central breakthrough, you have to come to these flashy things." Anyway, the way you look like this, it's actually more dangerous, you know? Your main force has gone around a lot of ways, and the strength of the feint attack in person will be weak, in case the Ohio regiment reacts and the whole army attacks, you can break your feint force at once.

Oh, by the way, you still have a regiment left, but even if that regiment can be okay and can run away in time, but your friendly troops who have managed to fool will be useless, they can't stop the attack of more than 100,000 people. ”

"Don't worry, it's night when I lead the main force to start the detour, and then make a big detour with our mobile forces, and they won't find it.

In addition, along the southern banks of the Ohio River, there was an improvised road, and the plains were nearby, and at the speed of our motorized vehicles it would not take half a night to make a detour to reach their east and strike punctually in the early hours of the morning. During this period, it is impossible for the US troops in the east to take the initiative to attack, because they don't have so many night lighting facilities, especially now that the enemy situation is unknown, it is impossible to come out to play night battles. ”

"Even if you're right." Zhang Xinda said, "But why don't you attack head-on?" If you want to save money, you come to such a big detour, and you will consume a lot of fuel, plus the wear and tear of the vehicle, you may not be able to save much money. ”

"That's how much diesel fuel is consumed." Li Yongji smiled, "But if you attack head-on." There will definitely be a lot of artillery to attack, and the cost of those shells will be enough for me to have a headache, not to mention the ammunition consumption during this period. Nima, I can't produce these modern shells myself yet, I have to import them from you, you use too much munitions, and you're a problem, right? On the contrary, you are not so sensitive to imported fuel, don't you say? ”

"You're stupid." Zhang Xinda ordered a cigar. "There were no moral constraints in your time, and there were no Geneva Conventions, so if you want to save money, you won't use coagulation-gas-oil/bomb?" It's really not good, it's okay to use poison // gas // bombs. ”

"I can indeed produce gas/oil/ammunition and poison/gas/ammunition, but the factories are all in China, and the inventory is basically in China." Li Yongji shook his head, "But now I'm in the United States." In the United States in the sixties of the nineteenth century, this was not for the convenience of supply, I only traded directly with you, and did not ask for domestic ammunition supplies. So I didn't, at least not for the time being...... Well, why don't you give me some support? ”

"Come less. It's not that you don't know. Zhang Xinda immediately shook his head, "Those things are too sensitive to me, I'll get you some raw materials and technical information at most." If you let me make it over there, but let me buy or produce it here, it's because I'm too long, and they beat me into a terrorist/terrorist/molecule every minute, and then torture me to death every minute, believe it or not?

In other words, you don't know the situation on my side, what AK, rocket artillery and other conventional weapons, you want to buy as much as you want, but once it comes to those sensitive weapons of mass destruction, no one will agree. ”

"Isn't that what it is?" Li Yongji spread his hands, "I don't have it here, you don't have it there, where can I find poison/gas//bullets and gas//oil//bombs?" I can only use conventional weapons. But with conventional weapons, the consumption is too high. After all, there are 150,000 people, and there are strong fortifications, isn't a frontal assault looking for abuse? ”

"Then you won't make some simple burns/burns/bombs yourself?" Zhang Xinda said, "You told me earlier, I'll give you some gasoline, and then give you some mixed aluminum soap synthesized with naphthenic acid and fatty acids, with some iron cans and containers, plus some open flame fuses, and you assemble it a little over there, and then build a flying thunder cannon, isn't this all alive?" ”

"How much time does it take to use your method?"

"Well, it doesn't take much time to make a simple solid/solid/gas/oil/bomb, that is, it takes some time for me to prepare materials, not to mention the flying thunder cannon, get some gasoline barrels, bury them in the soil, and barely hit two or three hundred meters. As for the safety of these two hundred meters, you can use sniper rifles and machine guns to clear them temporarily, which is very easy. ”

"To tell you the truth, what kind of flying thunder cannon do you have, and your plan to make yourself/burn/burn/bomb, you came up with it on the fly, right? Why does it sound so unreliable? ”

"Uh, but it works, doesn't it?" Zhang Xinda argued.

"Alright, your kindness is appreciated." Li Yongji shook his head, "Anyway, my plan is already ready to be launched, so your self-made or something, let's talk about it later." ”

"Well, if you have to play like this, I won't say anything." Zhang Xinda said, "But to be honest, what kind of Smithland is down, what are you going to do next?" ”

"What's next? The next step, of course, is to take out Nashville and remove the threat from Memphis. Li Yongji said, "Speaking of which, your homemade temporary burning/burning/bombing plan is actually quite good, and it can't be used now, but it can be used on Nashville." ”

"That's not what I meant." Zhang Xinda thought for a while and said slowly, "I mean, is there any benefit to you working so hard to help the allies?" Didn't you say that you would stand still in Memphis, take control of the lower Mississippi River, take the opportunity to do business with the Confederate people, and wait for the Confederate army and the French and the British to fight to the death with the United States? When they run out of strength to fight, you will send troops to sweep and use the least strength to get the maximum benefit...... This is the plan you and I made at the beginning, haven't you forgotten it? ”

"I didn't forget." Li Yongji nodded, "I still remember that this is the plan you worked so hard to get for me, called the fisherman's plan, which means that the sandpiper and the clam compete and the fisherman profits." ”

"That's it." Zhang Xinda said, "With your strength, as long as you sit in Memphis, what if there are more people in the Union Army in Nashville?" Do you dare to hit you? So it's a threat, but it's not a threat at all. At most, people are self-preservation, afraid that you will beat them.

So, since Memphis City is actually not a threat, and you have a Federation army by your side, you can still make the Confederates who came to seize power a little more restrained, but your current actions are a little puzzled to me. ”

"What's the puzzle?"

"You're so bothered to make such a detour, what to cut the supply lines, what to take out Nashville...... Do you know what that means? This meant that the Union Army would be completely expelled from Tennessee, and then the troops of the Union Army on the eastern and western fronts could be combined in a single line, plus the British and French armies would cooperate in the north. This will give the allies great confidence, and they will not be willing to hold on, and they will probably try to attack and swallow the United States. ”

"Yes, of course I do." Li Yongji smiled, "In fact, if the Federation Army was beaten so badly by me, and the Alliance Army did not take the initiative to attack, then I would have to wonder if there was something wrong with their IQ." And it turns out. Although President Davis is not long-term and his overall ability is not comparable to Lincoln, he does not match the word fool, so once my side wins consecutive battles. He will definitely give the order to take the initiative. ”

"And you're still so happy?"

"Happy, of course I'm happy." Li Yongji smiled, "You're not here, I don't know the specific situation here."

Let me put it this way. As a result of my intervention, coupled with the intervention of the French and the British, the meaning of this war has changed. Furthermore. Although the United States still has advantages in population, agriculture, and industry, it has been in a situation of continuous defeat in military affairs, and its losses are much heavier than in history, which is the most discouraged thing.

Let's not talk about the east, Robert. Lee fought well, completely containing the attack of the Federation Army, and in this western battlefield, I first completely annihilated his most powerful Grant Legion, and then almost completely wiped out the Cumberland River Legion, adding up, the U.S. Army's personnel losses have been as high as 200,000, and these two legions are the elite legions of the U.S. Army, not those temporary conscripted miscellaneous cards can be compared!

The loss of so many elite troops in a short period of time, and the fact that they have been losing, plus the British and French armies have also begun to take Boston out of one fell swoop, so it seems to me that with the resilience of the Americans, they are already starting to become war-weary.

Therefore, if I had continued with the original plan and had done nothing, it is quite possible that the North would have agreed to the independence of the South, and at the same time fornicated with Britain and France in advance, and in this way we would have been in an awkward position. ”

"Embarrassing, what do you have to be embarrassed about?" Zhang Xinda was puzzled, "Isn't it good to stop fighting in advance, you can get what you want without any losses." ”

"The problem is that if I cease the war early, I probably won't get what I want." Li Yongji shook his head, "My appetite is the greatest, because our demand is not only to take all the land that the United States has taken from Mexico, but also to take away California, which they value the most, which is equivalent to taking away half of the land of the United States and cutting off their idea of immigrating to the west." Therefore, any normal American would not agree to this request.

At the same time, the British and French are now on guard against me, and do nothing without notifying me in advance, such as their plans to attack Boston, which I did not know at all.

In short, the current situation is that once the war ends early, the Americans will definitely not agree to our territorial claims, the British and the French have fewer demands, and it is estimated that they can get what they want, and then they will take the opportunity to help the United States put pressure on us to prevent us from getting the land in the western part of the United States. ”

"So you want to beat the Federation Army again, so that the Alliance Army can see the opportunity to counterattack, and tempt the Alliance Army to launch a counteroffensive, so as to make this war last a little longer?"

"Yes."

Zhang Xinda shook his head: "If the Americans really want a truce, they can also ask for a truce with the southerners." ”

"That's different." Li Yongji said, "Look at the present, it is the Southern Union that wants independence first, and the United States of the North does not agree, so the main focus is on the northerners, and the main reason why the Union is so brave is to defend their hometown." Therefore, in the current situation, once the United States does not want to fight and agrees to the independence of the Union States, the war is likely to end early, at least the Union States may withdraw alone.

On the contrary, if the Allied Powers were to see the hope of defeating the United States, they would change from strategic stalemate to active attack, and begin to attack the United States in turn.

In that case. The Confederates became invaders, and the United States became resisters in a different nature.

At this time, the war-weariness of the United States will soon be rekindled by the patriotism of defending its homeland and continue to fight against the South, and the White House administration will be kidnapped by this public opinion and will no longer be able to agree to a truce with the South. ”

"Well, so at the end of the day, you're just going to drag on this war, aren't you?"

"Yes. My goal is to keep this war going and not end it early. ”

"What's the point of you?"

"It makes a lot of sense." Li Yongji said, "I tried my best to build a joint command before, but it quickly existed in name only, and I have seen a lot of Tongguò, a failed joint command. ”

"What do you see?" Zhang Xinda said.

"I saw that in this day and age, there was a desire to work closely with other Western powers. is unlikely, at least for the time being. Li Yongji smiled, "So if I want to get my own things, I can only rely on myself." By strength. ”

"Well, on your own, on strength." Zhang Xinda nodded, "So does this have anything to do with what you're doing now?" ”

"I've been talking to China recently." Li Yongji said suddenly. "My prime minister told me that the Yellow River in China has recently flooded again, and Shandong, Hebei and Henan have all suffered. Especially in Henan, a large number of people have been displaced, and life is difficult.

In order to fight the disaster, I have ordered him to dispatch 500,000 troops to the disaster relief and concentrate all efforts on supplying relief materials to the disaster area. ”

"This ......" Zhang Xinda was stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while, after all, Li Yongji's topic jumped a little big, and he was talking about the United States just now, and suddenly he talked about domestic disaster relief.

"Because China's industrial and agricultural foundation is too poor, and the time since the founding of the People's Republic of China is too short, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, my main energy has been devoted to intervening in the American Civil War, so I have invested very little strength in domestic construction." Li Yongji sighed, "Although I don't regret it, because the American Civil War is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you lose it, you will never have a chance again, but no matter what, at this moment, the Chinese people still have not solved the problem of food and clothing, and they are still a large number of abject poverty, which is also a fact." ”

"You don't have to blame yourself too much." Zhang Xinda could only comfort, "You have to eat the rice one bite at a time, and you are already doing very well now." ”

"I know." Li Yongji smiled, "So I called my prime minister and asked him to organize all the victims, and then go directly to Lianyungang, where there are all kinds of sea ships organized by the whole country, and when the time comes, this large fleet composed of all kinds of sea ships will take these disaster victims to this rich and vast western North America!" ”

"You ......" Zhang Xinda was stunned, and finally understood, "What do you mean......"

"That's right!" Li Yongji nodded, "Since I can't complete industrialization for the time being, then simply move out the excessive population of China in an organized way and come here to pioneer!"

This time, my goal is to immigrate at least five million people within a year, mainly poor people in Henan, Shandong, and Hebei, especially along the Yellow River.

There are many reasons for the flooding of the Yellow River, and since I can't afford to make a big effort to control the Yellow River for the time being, I should simply move the people from the vicinity to more suitable places for farming. With the agricultural nature of the Chinese, as long as they come to the more habitable western North America, then in time, these lands will soon become ours!

That was the long-term plan, and if the Civil War was prolonged, I would be able to emigrate as soon as I could, and by the time we Chinese the number in the western part of the Americas reached five million...... Hmph, when the time comes, the exhausted United States, which has already been beaten, will have to agree to my request if it does not agree to it, otherwise I can really continue to fight on my own!

As long as there are five million people here to rely on, plus the industrial base I have built around Hollywood, I am not afraid of anything!

In other words, I don't bother to play a war of words with them, and directly use our hard power to relocate the armed people, as long as the land is occupied by us, it is really not certain who owns that land at that time.

Anyway, the land of western North America was not born American, originally Indian, then inexplicably became Mexican, and then inexplicably became American. However, this is only what they drew on the map themselves, and the United States really mastered this land by force, forcibly expelling the Indians, and obtained it.

Therefore, since the rules of this world are to see whose fists are hard, then we should conform to the rules of the times, not play false, only real, use a large number of people to seize the land here, and use hoes and guns to talk! In time, after all these lands have been occupied by our people, it will naturally be our ancient times. ”

"Have you ever thought about it, the United States, no, there are still a large number of Indians in western North America, how are you going to place them? For example, the famous Seattle is not an American now, and it is still in the hands of the Indians, and Seattle seems to be the name of the Indian chieftain. ”

"Indians? That can also be a part of us, anyway, are they all yellow-skinned, easy to talk to, not to mention that there are common enemies.

In short, I plan to let them continue to fight, and I will speed up the rate of emigration, and strive to increase the number of Chinese immigrants to more than five million before the end of the war, in which case a single qiē will not be a problem. (To be continued......) R1292
