Chapter 371: End the war with dignity

The next day, around 9 a.m.

The Tang Empire's surging torrent of iron armor waved its flags, the iron cavalry rolled, and the boundless Chang'an cavalry corps crossed the Pittsburgh defense line and slaughtered towards the hinterland of the United States of America in the northeast.

The main force of the "Royal San Francisco Honorary Cavalry Division", "Royal Chang'an Heavy Cavalry Division", "Royal Los Angeles Dragoon Division", "Omaha Dragoon Division" and other cavalry units totaled more than 63,000 cavalry, with bright armor and neat appearance, carrying a chilling killing intent pouring in from the gap in the torn defensive line.

General Fan Pengfei took some officers and soldiers of the Colorado Corps to see him off, and in the black cavalry ranks, he successively saw the heroic King of Qin, His Royal Highness Tang Li Gan, Duke of California, His Royal Highness Tang Li Kun, Duke of North, and His Royal Highness Tang Li Yuan, Duke of Hawaii.

The Empire's heyday was exciting, and it took more than 60,000 cavalry more than three hours to cross the Pittsburgh Line, and it was not until near noon that the field artillery regiments and baggage regiments that had fallen behind were nearing the end.

In this unprecedentedly grand North American war, the Royal Praetorian Guard adopted the method of rotational warfare, and all the troops were sent to the front line to receive the baptism of war, and after the bloody battle, they became more elite and powerful.

Pittsburgh City, the tallest St. Louis Church tower

General Grant, commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, put down the monocular in his hand with a blue face and was silent for a long time.

Everything that happened outside the city could be seen clearly through the telescope, but he had no way at all, let alone send the soldiers of the Northern Army in the city out to die.

After a while, Admiral Grant said;

"The war is so cruel, and every time I drive thousands of soldiers to the battlefield, I feel a deep sense of guilt and guilt, and I blame myself for gnawing at my heart like maggots, God, please forgive me, we are ruining the future of America."

It seems that the Chang'an cavalry corps with the banner waving momentum poured in from the torn Pittsburgh defense line, and the torrent of iron cavalry waving the flag could not be stopped.

This pair of middle-aged Admiral Grant dealt a big blow, and the continuous setbacks and the heyday of the scene in front of him finally collapsed his belief in victory.

There was little space on the narrow tower, and it was just him and General Samuel Brown, commander of the Pittsburgh Line, standing on it.

The gray-haired General Samuel Brown is a typical Scottish descent, and the wrinkles on his face are as cold and hard as a knife-cut rock, as if there will be no human emotion, and it is very appropriate to take a metaphor, that is, the stone in the pit ~ smelly and hard.

At this moment, General Samuel Brown's face also showed a weak and tired look, and his eyes looked into the distance with empty eyes and said; "The legions of the Eastern Empire are so powerful, not only with cuirassiers and cuirassiers, but also with strong accompanying firepower, I don't know of any other town besides New York and Feicheng that can stop their progress."

"Washington should wake up to the futility of all resistance."

"I would like to remind you, Your Excellency, that President Andrew Johnson is not going to throw in the towel easily, and he fantasizes about taking this term of office to the end, even if it is to bring the whole of America to the funeral." At this, General Samuel Brown laughed self-deprecatingly, shook his head and continued; "What about three years left in the presidency? I don't even know if the current United States of America will be able to hold out for three months. In the city of Pittsburgh, only a group of brave swordsmen remained, and almost all the army was killed in the wilderness in front of them. We're running out of chips, maybe it's time to wrap it up. ”

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the lack of confidence and withdrawal in each other's eyes, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

The U.S. military base is based on volunteer militias in the states, and senior generals do not have strong control over the military.

A single order from Washington can make Admiral Grant fall from the clouds into the abyss, knocking him back to his original shape.

Under American-style democracy

The President of the United States had tremendous wartime power and was the commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, and without the consent of President Andrew Johnson, any peace proposal would be a dead letter.

If they are to stop President Andrew Johnson from going his way, they will have to reach out to more like-minded people, and until then, they will have to keep the shaky situation from collapsing completely.

The Chang'an Cavalry Corps broke through the Pittsburgh Line, and immediately spread like a torrent of unbridled troops, from Pennsylvania to New York and Maine, bringing endless fear and death threats along the way.

This time the defense was broken, causing a huge social earthquake in the eastern states of the United States, and a new round of large-scale refugee waves intensified amid fearful rumors, and countless white families dragged their families on the road to escape.

And on the long way to escape, the seeds of fear were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the United States of America (North), and lingered for more than a hundred years, and even longer.

After all, the Chang'an Cavalry Corps was able to kill and wound a small number of people, and many more American people, old and weak women and children died on the arduous way of fleeing, and the number is difficult to calculate.

It was at this most difficult time

The Confederate States of America (Southern) and the Southern Corps of the Tang Empire launched the 13th General Battle of Washington, D.C., and in the continuous gunfire and bloody battles, the North American continent ushered in the bloody New Year's Day of 1862.

At this point, from October 1857, the American Civil War was in its sixth year and the North American War was in its second year.

The bloody battle lasted until January 17, 1862, and at the cost of 179,000 casualties, the United States of America (North) finally withstood the ferocious attack of the allied forces and stabilized the Eastern Front on the Antetim line south of Washington.

And in the Battle of Pittsburgh

The siege of this industrial city by the Colorado Corps for a month and a half has turned the entire city into rubble, and a large number of conscripted troops of the Northern Army have been besieged and annihilated here, and they are still persisting in bloody battles.

The Tang Empire, on the other hand, adopted the method of rotation warfare, and conducted rotational battles against a total of 165,000 recruits who were preparing to supplement the Colorado Corps and the Northern Corps, with the cooperation of the veteran divisions, so that these recruits grew up rapidly.

Although it suffered more than 11,000 casualties, it wiped out about 245,000 rabble of the U.S. Northern Army and killed and injured a large number of its living forces.

The Pittsburgh Front was like a bloody millstone of incomparably large numbers, and no matter how many troops were able to fill it, the bitter fighting here once again caused irreconcilable divisions in Washington.

White House, Washington

"Let's face it, Mr. President, we have already lost this war, and if we want to give some hope for the future, then the only way forward is to bring about internationally mediated peace talks as soon as possible." Admiral Grant, commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, expressed his attitude clearly.

Although General Ulysses-Simpson Grant had just turned 40 years old, he was already an outstanding commander in the United States of America and the military who had made numerous meritorious contributions in the American Civil War.

The Eastern Front presided over by him has experienced 13 large-scale battles and countless battles, large and small, and has always stood majestically, ensuring that Washington, D.C., Columbia was spared the devastation of war and safeguarding the dignity of the country.

Under the leadership of the Northern Army, it once captured Texas and New Orleans in the south, and it was only one step away from the final victory, but unfortunately it was defeated by the brazen intervention of the Tang Empire.

As for the defeat in the Battle of Chicago, which Admiral Grant personally commanded, no one blames him.

Since the beginning of the First Tang-American War in 1846, the Americans have never been bargained for in the hands of the Tang Imperial Army.

If you really want to blame, then blame the devil army in the east for being too fierce and terrifying.

Up to now, none of the American generals has a remarkable record of defeating the Eastern Corps, and generals like Admiral Grant and Lieutenant General Samuel Brown who can go head-to-head with the Tang Imperial Corps have been outstanding.

Now that the Northern Army can no longer hold on, the total number of troops has dropped from 1.3 million to more than 800,000 again, and in the face of the coalition forces, it is not surprising that Washington will be captured next week.

It was the highest-level national security meeting held at the White House, attended by key leaders from the Cabinet and the military, to discuss the most pressing issues of war and livelihoods.

The food shortage in the country is getting worse, and Agriculture Secretary Lloyd Austin is under tremendous pressure, and he echoes with a frown;

"I agree with the military, this is a hard march with no hope of victory, and thousands of soldiers are losing their lives every day on bloody battlefields.

And where you can't see it

In poor neighborhoods, on dirty village roads, in shrub-covered wastelands, there are many times more lodging corpses of hungry people than on the battlefield.

The country is bleeding from the enemy's siege on all sides, with once-prosperous villages and towns scorched, farmland barren, factories in ruins, cities devastated by war, and we are powerless to continue the war.

There is no food in the warehouse, there is no money in the treasury, and the point is that we do not have enough manpower to defend our homeland and defend the democratic and free life that we have always admired. ”

"I second."

"I seconded the proposal that a government delegation should be sent immediately to discuss post-war matters, and this matter should not be delayed."

Key members of the military and cabinet have expressed their support for sending a government delegation to negotiate post-war matters, provided that there is an immediate ceasefire under international supervision.

Forced

President Andrew Johnson relented when the tide was turning, agreeing to send a delegation to engage with the Allied side, he said; "There is only one demand for the sake of the people to save their lives from suffering and to strive for a dignified end to the war."
