Chapter 496: America's No. 1 General
Trench tactics are only one of the many tactics in later generations, and Jian Mingyue only used this trick to keep more hole cards so that he can continue to maintain his reputation as a master tactician in the future. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't expect that this move would make him a colonel and division commander, and at this time, it was less than two years since he joined the army.
It wasn't long before it was time for the U.S. presidential election. As a result, Abraham Lincoln, the representative of the North Industries Foundation, was elected. This greatly deepened the contradictions between the North and the South, and the civil war finally broke out.
Although some people in the top echelons of the US military have long predicted the possibility of a war, such people of insight are in the minority after all. Moreover, the expansion of armaments and warfare requires a large sum of money, and how can the capitalists agree to spend so much money on just one guess? Therefore, when the war really broke out, the army could only start to expand in a hurry. And with the expansion of the army, the officers were naturally promoted, and Jian Mingyue was promoted another level without doing anything.
After the expansion of the army, there was almost no training time, and Jian Mingyue's army was sent to the battlefield. Jian Mingyue didn't want to take a group of people to the battlefield, so she had to seize all the time to train, even when she was marching, she had to practice the queue.
When he arrived on the battlefield, because Jian Mingyue had the art of calculation, he could know all the enemy's military deployments, so he could always control the enemy's aircraft first, and he won several battles in a row as soon as he appeared. In order to boost morale and promote heroes, Jian Mingyue, who fought even better, became a famous general, and was soon promoted again to become the commander of a legion, with the same rank as Lieutenant General Frank.
At this time, Victor was just in his early thirties, but he had already passed the high position that most people would not be able to climb in their lifetime. The so-called not being envied by others is mediocre, and Jian Mingyue is a wood show in the forest, of course, it will cause countless gossip. But in the ensuing battle, Jian Mingyue continued to prove himself with his achievements, so that those people had to shut up.
In the Civil War, the South had few advantages due to its small population, insufficient troops, underdeveloped industry, and backward weapons. But there were several famous generals in the South, who were very good at using troops, such as Robert Lee, Thomas Jackson, and so on. When the war first started in the north, the commander actually sympathized with McClelland in the south, and at the same time, because the north had too many advantages, it was serious to underestimate the enemy, and it was very defeated. In the midst of a defeat, Jian Mingyue's consecutive victories were particularly prominent, and he also made him even more famous.
Since Jian Mingyue is so capable of fighting, the call for him to lead the command of the Northern Army is getting louder and louder. It's just that his qualifications are still too shallow, and his rash promotion is a bit too eye-catching, so he has never been able to go further.
Don't say that foreigners don't talk about qualifications, in fact, they are the same. Jian Mingyue has only been in the army for a few years? It's already great to be able to climb to such a high position, and if you become the commander-in-chief again, isn't it against the sky? So in the end, it didn't work for him.
It's just that there is no need to use Jian Mingyue, almost none of the other generals of the Northern Army are opponents of Robert Lee and Thomas Jackson, and the best results are just stalemate. Jian Mingyue took the opportunity to secretly act and let President Lincoln personally lobby to remove McClelland and put Jian Mingyue in the position of commander-in-chief.
After becoming the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, Jian Mingyue could finally let go of her hands and feet, and she transferred troops and dispatched generals again and again, and soon defeated the Southern Army one after another. It's just that both the military and the people in the south support slavery, and when they saw that the northern army was coming, even the common people secretly made trouble, which made Jian Mingyue feel like invading other countries.
The damage caused by the people of the south to the northern army was very serious, which made the northern army very annoyed, and some people even poisoned the civilians, one named William? Ticompsy? Sherman's guy also became famous for it. But Jian Mingyue was very disgusted by this kind of behavior, and strictly ordered that civilians should not be attacked at will.
But in order to deal with those who continue to make trouble without knowing whether they are alive or dead, Jian Mingyue also had to use some means, using forcibly released black slaves to form a security team, and then sending his own more shrewd soldiers to take the lead, responsible for arresting those who are secretly making trouble. As long as they are caught, not only will the troublemakers be sentenced, but all family property will be confiscated. There is no such thing as confiscation of property in the law of the United States, and Jian Mingyue will confiscate it in the name of compensating for the losses of the Northern Army, in short, it is necessary to turn the families of these people into beggars to warn other people who want to cause trouble.
When the black slaves were emancipated, they were naturally grateful to Dade and did their best to help the Northern Army supervise their former masters. And for every rebel caught, the blacks were rewarded for their meritorious service, which made them even more motivated. It's just that some of the blacks were too oppressed by the original owner, and now that they have a chance to take revenge, they want to frame them. Fortunately, Jian Mingyue had long expected such a thing, and once it was discovered, she would be severely punished. In this way, the white slave owners who were not very firm in their position were also grateful to Dade and put out the idea of opposing the Northern Army.
Of course, some people are desperate and want to make trouble for the Northern Army no matter what, and Jian Mingyue will not be polite. When such people are caught, they will be sent to work as coolies, and the treatment is exactly the same as that of slaves, so that they can taste what it is like to be slaves. And their wives and children can only become beggars, thieves, prostitutes, etc., because they have nothing to live on, and then let them meet regularly, so that they are scolded by their wives and children.
Being hated by those close to you is more painful than being a slave, and many people are broken down because of it. Their tragic situation is a further warning to those who don't know what to do, if someone still has a thief's heart, their family will also try to stop it, otherwise they will also be unlucky.
After governing in this way for a period of time, the territory that was defeated by the Northern Army was much more stable, and the front line was able to advance steadily. And his step-by-step advance also made the southern army helpless, and the fighting spirit gradually fell to the bottom. No matter what they try, they can't win, how can this battle be fought?
The original American Civil War lasted more than four years, but because of Jian Mingyue's chaotic invasion, the war process was greatly accelerated, and the war ended in just over a year. Ending the war so long ahead of schedule has saved the United States in terms of manpower, material and financial resources. This made Jian Mingyue's reputation in the United States quickly climb to the highest point, and she was boasted by the newspaper as the first general in ancient and modern times. This is indeed a bit exaggerated, but the title of America's No. 1 general is definitely not well deserved.
For these boasts, Jian Mingyue is not refused, and the greater his fame, the more benefits he will receive. It's just a troublesome thing, that is, he is still unmarried, so he doesn't know how many famous ladies are eyeing him. As long as he has the opportunity, he is always surrounded by this large number of girls who are showcasing, which annoys him.
Fortunately, the United States is a country of immigrants, and there are no real old aristocrats, so there are no cumbersome etiquette rules. In addition, the eldest ladies of these wealthy families are not all Miss Jiao who can only compare and enjoy, but there are still a few more alternative, self-reliant, and kind-hearted good girls. Since Jian Mingyue planned to live with a public identity, marrying a wife was a must, so he still chose a girl who best suited his heart and became a husband and wife.
Although Jian Mingyue's family is not bad, it is only average, far worse than those real big families. Therefore, after Jian Mingyue announced the choice of his wife, the girl was immediately ridiculed as Cinderella who was chosen by the prince.
But compared to Jian Mingyue's wife, the girl Logan has a crush on is the real Cinderella. Logan was also quickly promoted during the war, becoming a colonel and division commander. Because he is Jian Mingyue's younger brother, and his military exploits are also very prominent, his reputation is also quite large. But his reckless nature did not change because of his fame, and after accidentally meeting a beautiful commoner girl, he immediately fell in love and planned to marry her.
And just as Logan's good things were approaching, he was exposed again. Because of his relationship, his girlfriend was also noticed, and several daring guys kidnapped the girl and demanded a ransom from Logan. If it's just a ransom, the key is that the girl is so beautiful that a few kidnappers didn't hold back and raped her. It's not good to wake up to the big thing when you're done, if you let Logan know that they raped their girlfriend, wouldn't they hunt them down at the end of the world? So they simply didn't stop doing it, first killing the girl, and then trying to kill Logan when he went to pay the ransom. Needless to say, not only did they not kill Logan, but they were killed by most of them.
Logan's fault was that he didn't kill all the kidnappers and was escaped by one of them, so Logan's peculiarity was exposed. In fact, it's no wonder that Logan, Rogan is too affectionate, and when he almost killed the kidnapper, he found his girlfriend's body. How can he remember to kill people in the midst of his grief? That's when the identity was revealed.
After the accident, Logan panicked for a while, and chose to run away secretly, without even telling Jian Mingyue. By the time Jian Mingyue knew about it, the matter had already spread, so that Jian Mingyue couldn't cover it even if she wanted to. This can make Jian Mingyue angry, he has taught Logan for so long, and once he encounters something, he is still flustered and at a loss, he is simply a child who has not grown up. But Logan is his younger brother, and he can't figure it out anyway, so he can only wipe Logan's ass.
The first is to get Logan back, it is definitely not okay to let him run around blindly, he must be allowed to come back and cooperate with his movements. And there is a calculation technique, it couldn't be easier to find someone, Jian Mingyue personally flew quietly to find him and pulled him back.
Next is to whitewash Logan. Logan's ability can't be hidden, even if he doesn't stick out his bone spurs, his self-healing ability can be known at a try, so he can only direct public opinion to the good side. At this time, the identity of their brothers played a big role, they were all great contributors to the pacification of the war, and their prestige was still very high, so there were still many people who believed that Logan was an angel rather than a devil.
