"Kada!"

Turtledove pulled out the spear from his waist and pressed it against Grant's forehead, flicking the hammer with his thumb.

"I know better than you whether there are any holes in my defense, and I don't need you to ——!" Turtledove said.

"—but I can tell you one first, so that you can inspect the goods a priori?" Grant smiled gloomily and said.

"Hehe," Turtledove also laughed, and said disdainfully, "According to what you mean, so many people in White Rock City have jointly deduced the defense line for 3 years, and the defense line has been practiced no less than 10 times, so it is better for you to take a look at it casually, right?" ”

"I don't want to be that arrogant, but you have to admit that some people are born with more talent in some ways than others!" Grant said.

Turtledove tapped the spear on Grant's forehead, then pulled a spear in his hand and reinserted it into the holster at his waist.

"Then tell me about it! If you can satisfy me, of course I can let you go! The turtledove asked, "Do you need a map?" ”

Grant shook his head, "Inferior generals, take the map with him everywhere he goes, and he won't fight without the map; A medium-sized general who likes to stare at the map in a daze, as if he could see victory by looking at the map; A high-ranking general has a map in his heart, and he doesn't bother to use a map at all unless it's to take care of his mentally handicapped subordinates! ”

The turtledove took a seat and found that he belonged to the inferior ......

"And which class do you belong to?" Turtledove asked.

"I'm Ulysses Simpson-Grant!" Grant said, "I'm the only one above all the generals!" ”

"Let me see!" Turtledove said.

Juji brought a chair, and Ikaruga sat down.

Peso handed over a freshly roasted sweet potato, and the turtledove tore open the skin in his hand, revealing the golden contents of it—and then folded it in half, and handed it to the sea next to him.

The sea held half of the roasted sweet potato, and for a while, I didn't know that the turtledove was for himself to eat? Or just let yourself hold it for him?

The air is filled with the smell of steaming roasted sweet potatoes, mixed with the smell of mud and the smell of the sea blowing from the Gulf of Mexico before the rainy season.

Grant's throat grunted slightly, and he disguised it well, but—even the most transcendent general, after a few days of starvation, he had to try to survive.

……

Grant: "I have to say, your actions in Texas and Guatemala are unprecedented in size! The 300-mile trench front, unless the federal army can fly, will definitely not be able to break through in a short period of time! ”

Turtledove: "Straight to the point!" ”

Grant: "The American Federation has an army of 100,000 troops, but now it is caught in the endless security wars in Mexico, and the army that can finally withdraw from the north is expected to be no more than half, that is, 50,000 at most!" ”

Ikaruga: "For a vast trench front, there is no difference between 50,000 and 100,000!" ”

Grant: "The difference is that you can't wipe out the American Commonwealth army in a battle with all your might!" Let me ask, even if everything goes smoothly, after you annihilate the 50,000 Federation troops in the north, do you still have the strength to fight again? ”

The turtledove thought for a moment and said, "If there are another 50,000 people, I will be able to annihilate them too!" ”

Grant clapped his hands, and the crisp applause seemed to be slapped on the face of the turtledove, and said, "Do you think that the Federation Army is all warriors who are desperate to die?" There were just 50,000 people trapped in the front, and the back is scrambling to catch up and fight you to the death? Or do you think Zachary Taylor is a fool who will send his men into your trenches in batches? ”

The turtledove chewed on the skin of the sweet potato and accidentally bit its finger.

Grant continued: "When the time comes, where will the whole family of Indians go? Is it going in or out? ”

The turtledove was silent.

In fact, the White Rock City Staff Department also had a plan for this, if the war becomes a stalemate, how should it be handled?

But the stalemate was so unfavorable to the Indians that almost everyone in the staff tried to avoid it.

- In order to force Zachary Taylor to break north, in addition to the harbor blasting battle around the Atlantic, Ikaruga also formed two armies in Mexico, one led by Geronimo and Juarez, and the other led by Neville Crockett, these two legions will operate in Mexico, using all means to burn food, plunder the population, and make 100,000 federal troops under supply pressure, and finally have to go north!

- After many verifications, the General Staff believes that Zachary Taylor will definitely send the main army north, and as long as this main force is annihilated at that time, all that remains is some finishing work. When the time comes, it will be impossible to get the Mexicans to rise to the challenge, but it is not a problem to whip them down the river. And, when it comes to wrapping up, perhaps the more worrying thing is, is there anyone else in Mexico?

- But Grant's words shocked Turtledove: the White Rock Staff was not wrong, and Zachary Taylor would still try to send the main army north. But the chaotic situation in Mexico is simply a mud pit worse than the trenches of Texas, and Zachary Taylor, even if he tries, may only be able to send 50,000 people north!

- 50,000 people, still an extremely powerful force! Moreover, the U.S. military has always been fierce in firepower, but these 50,000 people cannot be converted as 50,000 Indian troops, at least multiplied by 3 on this number, that is, it is equivalent to 150,000 people will come to Texas to participate in the war. It also required the Indians to do their best to fight!

- As Grant said, after this war, there are still about 50,000 U.S. troops left on Mexican soil, what should we do? Could it be that the Indian army would continue to stay in the trenches of Texas? This number may be skewed, but it is true that there will be a force that the Indians cannot solve and will become a threat to itself!

— Now, it's Zachary Taylor who is locked in the Mexican Peninsula; But after that war, it was the Indians themselves who were locked in Texas!

……

"Frankly, this is the best strategy you Indians can think of. However, the gap between your strength and ours is too big, too big...... So big that even a decisive victory won't be enough! ”

"And the army of this country is so strange that it does not pride itself on bravery. For the soldiers, it is very professional to be able to empty their bullets in front of the battle; For the Commander, if you weren't an Indian, even if I surrendered to you today, I would still be a national hero when I returned. You should know General Winfield, right? That's how he became a hero, because everyone died, and only he lived, so the hero's medal could only be awarded to him! ”

"An army like the American Confederate Army, if you don't have the strength to take the initiative to attack, you can't wipe it out after a war - you overestimate your enemy's will to fight! Mexico's federal army has not gone to great lengths to destroy your consciousness for the sake of this country! ”

"But it's not your fault, I've always expected the enemy to be lenient, who would have thought that the enemy would pull his crotch like this, right?"

This is also a direct proof of the weakness of the Indian army! It is no secret that the Indian army you lead is an army that cannot tolerate mistakes and cannot organize a second attack! ”

Ulysses Grant talks eloquently and looks forward to it.

The turtledove bowed its head and was silent, thinking hard about countermeasures.

"And the harder part is yet to come!" Grant continued: "Once the trenches of Texas have become your own yoke, the United States will soon send another army from the east—and you will be the one to be flanked from all sides!" ”

"The trench you dug with your own hands will be your own grave!"
