Chapter 342: Cruel war

The assassination case, which lasted for several years at the end of 1862, finally came to an end. After synthesizing all the evidence, the black hands behind the scenes pointed to the Sardinian government.
Believe it or not, the Paris government believes it anyway, and the Vienna government accepts this explanation.
The Sardinian government's protests were ignored, and the Sardinian government secretly provided a charcoal fund to the charcoal party before the assassination broke out, which became the most favorable evidence to prove them.
The most important thing is that the French still have witnesses. The arrested confession confessed to the assassination and stepped forward to testify against the Sardinian government.
Former government prime minister Gaffle has also been jailed for this, and if he is unlucky, he may be sent to the gallows.
The Prime Minister and high-level government officials were directly ensnared, and King Vittorio Emanuele II could not blame him. He had announced his abdication two days ago.
There is no need to elaborate on the subsequent interest transactions. In short, the French paid a big price and let countries acquiesce that all this happened.
Franz said in surprise: "So the British sold the Kingdom of Sardinia?"
Originally, he thought that around the Kingdom of Sardinia, Britain and France would have a fierce battle, but he did not expect the London government to compromise so soon.
Foreign Minister Weissenberg explained: "His Majesty, we have acquiesced to the actions of the French, the Russians are busy with internal reforms, and are unwilling to participate in Italian affairs, and the British are powerless to interfere.
Anyway, the European balance has not been broken. Even if the French annexed the Kingdom of Sardinia, they still cannot change the three-legged continental pattern.
The French lost their interests, and the French made up for it elsewhere. The investigation of the suspect's property was almost enough to repay the British loan.
Now that the obstacles for the French to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia have basically been cleared, it is now up to the Paris government to take action. "
Franz sneered and said, "Will Napoleon III be preparing for the throne again by election?"
The reasons for not looking at the French seemed very good, but unfortunately they were not enough to allow them to legally annex the Kingdom of Sardinia.
The conspiracy plots the assassination of the king, and there is nothing wrong with the responsibility of the mastermind, and the Vienna government is also pursuing it. However, to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Sardinians must first ask if they would like to.
In particular, the abdication of Vittorio Emanuele II was a political failure. Even if it is a swap of territory, it is better to eat.
With so many French colonies abroad, it would be better to just give up a name to Vittorio Emanuele II than drive him out of office.
Ascending the throne by popular elections is the least legal way. To put it bluntly, one day the public saw him unhappy, and he could get rid of him in the same way.
Weissenberg replied: "From what we have gathered, the French are indeed preparing for the election."
Franz calmly said: "Then help them, let us bury the nails also support Napoleon III as the King of Sardinia, and give him momentum in public opinion."
It is very important that the Kingdom of Sardinia joins France directly, or that Napoleon III is also the king of Sardinia.
For the former, the people of Sardinia will certainly not agree. In fact, this is in the best interest of France. Only after a short period of pain can we guarantee that the Kingdom of Sardinia will not be independent.
It ’s just that, it ’s a bit ugly to eat. Anyway, it ’s this step anyway. It ’s hard for them to look good. Either you do n’t do it, you have to do it.
In the latter, France is expected to be forever strong, and it can always suppress the kingdom of Sardinia. Once there is a slight problem in France, everyone will be independent.
The Italians don't consider them to be France, and the so-called basis of governance does not exist at all. Napoleon III also had no way to buy down the people and identify with his rule.
Although Napoleon was great, unfortunately, the Napoleon family's heritage was too shallow, and the legacy of political legacy was not enough for Napoleon III to realize his political ambitions.
Franz is well aware of this. Austria's smooth expansion in Europe is largely a political legacy left by the Habsburgs.
Looking through the history books, many parts of Europe have been ruled by the Habsburgs for centuries. Even if he passed, he could still hold up the banner of the restoration of the dynasty, even if it was a far-fetched legal foundation.
Without the ancestral political heritage, who would buy his account in the German state? This is also true for Austrian Italy, where he is orthodox in jurisprudence.
Orthodox East and West, many man-made countermeasures in the East have to hold high the banner of the former dynasty. Not because of how many supporters they can get, but mainly to prove that they are not chaos and that they have orthodoxy.
There is a righteousness called the hegemony of the world, without a righteousness is a reckless thief. The last thing that happened was basically the battle for the world. I didn't hear that the reckless thief sat down.
"Those who have never sought for all eternity since ancient times have not been able to seek for a while, and those who have not pursued the whole situation have not been able to seek one country."
This is Franz's motto, reminding himself to stay alert.
...
On January 15, 1863, with the support of the Confederate government, the Indiana region of the central part of the country declared independence and founding of a nation.
This area was where the American government housed the Indians, and dozens of tribes were expelled from 1830 to 1840.
The federal government has not yet effectively ruled the area because of hate relations. There were very few white residents in the area, and a large influx of white talent occurred in history after 1889.
The war has continued until now, and the two sides are competing for comprehensive national strength. To win the war, the southern government had to draw more allies.
They were all independent anyway, betrayed the interests of the federal government and bought their allies, and they had no pressure at all.
In order to attract Indians to the war, the Confederate government provided 50,000 rifles, one hundred artillery, and ammunition to the newly independent Indian emirate.
After getting the weapons, the Indians began the road of revenge. Kansas became the first victim.
Originally, they were crushed by the Southern Army of Missouri, suddenly stabbed by the Indians, and instantly collapsed across the line.
The Indians, with deep blood and revenge, launched the fiercest revenge, and the blood killed in the area ran into the river.
Not only this battlefield, but now that the war has taken place, both the north and the south have killed red eyes. Some areas have been killed for killings, and civilians have become the biggest victims.
The war zones of Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky, and Virginia have all been reduced to on earth.
The nature of the war has changed. Through propaganda by both governments, hatred has become one of the main factors supporting the war.
The countries that were going to interfere were stunned by the madness of the Americans and chose to wait and see.
Don't get me wrong, everyone is not scared. The main thing is that Americans want to continue to kill each other and consume each other's strength, and it is best to end with both defeats.
For this reason, the British and Austrian countries are all dealing with the South Government's diplomacy, and the Indians are one of them.
...
In New York, watching the federal government's casualty report, President Lincoln dare not look directly.
With the participation of the Indians, almost 70,000 federal troops fell into Kansas, and civilian casualties exceeded 300,000. The rest were reduced to war refugees and fled into the western region.
What it meant, he couldn't understand. The scope of the war was expanded again, the fire broke into the central region, and the political and military pressure of the federal government further increased.
If the federal can no longer gain an advantage, it is estimated that many federal states will withdraw from the war for their own security. In the face of life and death, no interest matters.
Painting cakes is beautiful, let everyone see the hope of eating. Otherwise, the position of capitalists who support the federal government will also be shaken.
At least the Kansas capitalists are dead, and many have lost their lives. The capitalists in the belligerent states have also become losers in this shuffle.
Regardless of whether the federal government can win, they have been eliminated.
If it wasn't for the lack of diplomatic capabilities of the southern government, Britain and Austria would like to see the war continue, and deliberately biased them, and now at least a few states have withdrawn from the war.
"One radish, one big stick" is the most correct operation. If the southern government has not set the target on the northern government from the beginning, but a state-by-state political offensive, it is estimated that neighboring states will now choose neutrality.
With regard to the entire federal government, the Confederacy has no certainty of victory, but it is no problem to deal with one or several federal states.
Capitalists who tend to be more powerful tend to choose neutrality for their own benefit. Especially after the tragedy in Kansas, everyone knew that the federal government was unable to protect them.
President Lincoln said to himself: "Now that the civil war has gone on, our casualties have exceeded three million, haven't we?"
The secretary of state outside the door replied: "Not yet, but maybe it will be next week. The total number of military casualties in the federal government is 1.768 million, of which 456,000 are civilian casualties; 1.182 million are civilian casualties, including 382,000 deaths.
(Note: Casualties are calculated based on the number of injuries. In theory, a soldier may be injured dozens of times in statistics.)
Lincoln sighed and said, "If you add the casualties of the rebels, we will have lost more than 1.5 million people for this war."
Apparently, he regretted launching the war. Not just Lincoln, many Americans are regretful. If everyone knew that war would be so cruel, everyone would compromise each other before the war broke out.
Although the interests of the capitalists and the planters cannot be reconciled, the capitalists and planters in the warring states are different.
The interests of classes are not equal to their own interests. Selling classes for their own interests has no pressure on capitalists.
Secretary of State Safar thought for a while and said, "It depends on how you calculate it. If you take into account the reduction in immigration and departure from the civil war, this loss may increase by one million.
No, it cannot be said to be immigrants. In fact, our total immigration has not decreased much. It's just that white immigrants have decreased, while Asian and black immigrants have continued to increase. "
The increase in black immigration is actually forced. A large number of young people have entered the army, resulting in a shortage of labor in all walks of life.
Now is the time of war, and immigrants from European countries will not come at all. In desperation, everyone can only introduce labor from the outside, and the increase in non-ferrous immigration becomes inevitable.
Lincoln nodded and said, "No wonder there are more and more black soldiers in the army. It seems that many people have replaced them with military service."
Not everyone is willing to go to the battlefield, especially the capitalists on the rich side, it is even more exclusive to the battlefield. In this capitalist country, it is naturally impossible for the federal government to force the capitalists to serve.
Hiring military service solved the problem perfectly. The federal government acquired the soldiers and the capitalists completed the military service.
Secretary of State Safar said frowningly, "Hi President, I don't think you need to care about these sidelines.
Our big trouble is coming soon. Next week's congressional question, do you think how to deal with it? "
Strategically, the federal government blocked the offensive of the southern government, held the core area of ​​the Great Lakes, and protected Washington, and has achieved staged victories.
Although Kansas is located in the center of the United States, geographically: Flint Hills in the east, Smoky Hills and Red Hills in the west, and Sunflower Mountain close to the Colorado border.
The southern government has mastered it, and there is no way to march to the west. Missouri in the east has originally joined the southern government, so there is no need to worry.
A tactical failure has little effect on the overall battle situation. Only President Lincoln was able to sit and think about future issues.
He wouldn't be able to do it if the fall of Pennsylvania fell.
Lincoln said indifferently: "This is the end of the matter, what is there to be afraid of. Even if I am willing to step down immediately, someone will be willing to take over this mess.
It is impossible for Congress to oust us from office until the end of the war. In case the federal government loses the war, the crime of splitting the federation needs us to back up. "
This is not a broken pot, but he really knows American politics. The current situation is still very unfavourable for the federal government. The possibility of federal government division is very high, and no one is willing to bear the crime of federal division.
Judging from the current situation, even after winning this war, it is also a big trouble to deal with the southern states after the war. No matter who sits in this position, the ending will not be wonderful.
