Chapter 350: Non-war crime

The plan will never keep up with the rapid changes. The American Civil War, which was supposed to end soon, was deadlocked by 1864.
Hundreds of thousands of army-level battles cannot be completed in a day or two. Both the north and the south can't afford to lose the war, and the commanders on both sides are masters who are old and heavy, and the battle directly turns into a war of attrition.
The southern army's combat effectiveness is slightly stronger, but the northern army is crowded. On the front of more than one hundred kilometers, the two sides fought many times, but the results were mutually beneficial. Overall, they were still half a catty.
The power of the butterfly effect is powerful. With the help of various countries, the southern government is strengthened, and the northern government is weakened. One increase and one decrease are directly reflected on the battlefield.
New York, looking at the telegram in his hands, President Lincoln was about to collapse. This has been the Nth request for reinforcements. Since the start of the decisive battle, he has basically received three or four calls for help every week.
Who would say it again: use the mighty national strength to fight attrition with the opponent and drag the rebels to death. Lincoln will definitely go up and pump him a few big ear scrapers.
Industrial advantage. With the support of the powers, does the North really have an industrial advantage?
The rebel industry in the south has limited manufacturing capacity. Can't people buy it?
Now the northern government cannot block the southern port. The navies of the two sides have fought many times and the northern navy still cannot win.
Economic advantages are even more nonsense. Really think that all the capitalists are patriots, can they give up their families for selfless dedication?
Class interests are not equal to personal interests, making money is the first priority. Who cares if the United States will split as long as it earns itself?
Capital without borders is not a joke, it is real. As long as they make money, even if they leave the United States, they can also live a very nourishing life.
On the contrary, selfless dedication to support the federal government won the war, and finally it was time to divide the loot: sorry, this is an era of speaking with strength.
Although the northern government's economy is larger, but the wealth it can actually mobilize, the southern government is not much worse than them.
At least the cotton bonds in the south are more popular in the international capital market than the war bonds in the north. In support of the Southern Government, Anglo-French West has received many bonds from the Southern Government.
The turn of the northern government is not the same. Either pay in foreign exchange or gold and silver. What is the US dollar, everyone does not know?
The last tragic finding is that the real advantage of the northern government is that there are many people, and it can fight for life with the southern government.
However, this advantage is not without limits. The losses are too great, and the civil war exhaustion will rise.
Since the start of the decisive battle, on the battlefield, on the average, the northern government forces have lost a regiment every day, and handling the frontline telegram has become a routine task for President Lincoln.
President Lincoln asked blankly: "My Minister of War, please tell me how long this battle will last?"
The Minister of War, Semen-Kamei, thought about it and said, "Sorry, the question is only known to God by His Excellency the President. I only know that I cannot take risks now. The federal government cannot afford to lose this time."
Secretary of State Safar added: "Will it be possible to bring down the casualties? At the current rate of loss, it is estimated that the rebels have been suppressed, and the United States has no future."
Because of Franz's butterfly effect, just after the war broke out, a large number of weapons and equipment were sold to the belligerent North and South governments, and the speed of expansion of both sides exceeded the historical period.
To match it, the training time of soldiers has been greatly reduced. On average, each soldier's training time is less than 40 days. In the most critical time, the soldiers of the federal government were sent to the battlefield in less than one week.
The sequelae are the casualties on both sides, more than in the same period in history. The massive loss of youth has threatened the rule of the federal government.
War Minister Semen-Kamei explained: "We have not pursued the state governments for criminals, local hooligans, and a large number of soldiers of color.
The quality of the soldiers is unqualified, and casualties will inevitably increase. At least the death rate of white soldiers, we have dropped. "
Lincoln interrupted immediately: "Sir, don't say that, it's all federal soldiers, no race knows!"
There are things you can do but you cannot say. Politically correct, the United States has also been spearheaded in this era.
...
Richmond, President Jefferson-Davis is also facing the same problem, and the brutal casualties have exhausted the southern government.
The lack of human resources has become the biggest problem for the southern government. Although labor export companies are active, these cheap laborers from the African continent are not easy to use. They must undergo rigorous training to become qualified laborers.
If the northern government is willing to compromise, he doesn't mind stopping the war immediately. Continue to fight, it is difficult for the southern government with insufficient manpower to beat the northern government.
Of course, they are not afraid of the northern government. If the battle ends in the end, it can still be done by dragging the northern government together. At least they think they can do it.
In less than four years, the total population of the United States in the civil war has fallen by 5%, which is still based on the influx of Asians and blacks.
The northern government crosses the eastern and western oceans, occupying the advantage of receiving Asian immigrants, while the southern government receives mostly African immigrants because of its geographical location.
At least 400,000 active black soldiers are currently fighting for the southern government. The total number of black soldiers who have been killed has exceeded 250,000.
In order to encourage slave owners to bring black slave soldiers to the battlefield, the federal government also issued double compensation. After all, well-trained black slaves are excellent cannon fodder, and the black workers who have just arrived are still tame.
In order to encourage the morale of black soldiers, under the insistence of Robert Lee, the Confederate government lifted the slavery of black slaves. Huge rewards have also been issued, for example: every time two enemy soldiers are killed, a or an equivalent fortune is awarded.
The immediate sequelae are that in the army of black soldiers, there are almost no captives.
President Jefferson Davis asked with concern: "Mr. Robert, did the British promise to send troops to interfere?"
The snake has no head. As the John Bull who interfered the most in the alliance, he deservedly became the leader.
Now the stalemate between the North and the South is a good time to intervene. The intervention of the coalition forces immediately broke the balance of power between the two sides.
Even one of these countries can become the last straw to overwhelm the camel, breaking the balance of power between the north and the south.
Secretary of State Robert frowned and said, "The British still want to watch us kill each other. Anyway, the war has hit now, and there are no winners.
The number of casualties in this conference has reached 380,000, of which 110,000 were killed; the northern government is approaching 600,000 and killed at least 180,000.
Even after winning this battle, we did not continue to expand our capabilities in a short period of time, and the northern government was not much better, and everyone could not fight. "
Vice President Alexander objected: "I'm afraid this is not necessarily the case. The greatest effect of the battle on the morale of the military is not just the number of casualties.
No matter how heavy the casualties, as a winner, there are at least 100,000 mobile troops. As long as the army has a strong morale, continuous operations can be sustained.
At that time, the loser can only rely on interference in the coalition. Only at the moment of crisis can they get the most benefit. "
This is the fact that an army with strong morale can often defeat an army that has lost morale several times. After the end of this General Assembly war, more than 100,000 troops have been able to influence the outcome of this civil war.
However, this does not threaten to interfere in the coalition forces. With more than 200,000 new troops joining, the situation on the battlefield can be reversed in an instant. For greater benefit, the British are naturally willing to wait for the winner and lose.
This is the difference between reality and theory. In theory, the total strength of the northern government is more than two million, the total strength of the southern government is more than one million, and intervention of the coalition by more than 200,000 will not have much effect.
In fact, the total troop strength is not equal to the troop strength that can be put into combat. The first thing that states need to do is to ensure their own security, not to take all of them out for combat.
Second, there are combat troops. Take the northern government as an example. If half of the more than two million troops are the main force, they can run over the south two or three times.
The actual situation, let alone say that half of the main troops, one tenth of the main troops are not available, except for the more than 100,000 troops that can fight, the rest are all black and white.
You can't expect a rookie army of 16,000 people to split into two waves of civil war and train a million elites in less than four years.
Historically, tens of thousands of people have often decided the victory between the North and the South. If both sides are seeking stability, they are reluctant to invest in the elite army stud, and there will not be such a large-scale battle.
After a few moments of silence, Jefferson Davis said, "Contact the North government secretly and explain to them. If you don't want the British to take advantage of it, acknowledge our independence and end the war."
Secretary of State Robert shook his head and said, "It is estimated that there is no hope. We can negotiate to solve the problem in private can minimize the losses, but the politicians of the northern government cannot afford this responsibility.
I don't think they will be willing to take up their own political lives because of their patriotism, and they will even be retaliated by capitalists in the future. "
This is a real problem, and the selfless people are always a minority. Historically, after the southern government was in a disadvantage, haven't these people become traitors for their own benefit?
Counting on the northern governments to be selfless patriots is not much higher than the odds of winning the lottery.
Under the intervention of the major powers, the federal government was divided, and politicians could go out of the way.
In this era, the European powers were powerful. Their failure was not because they were incompetent, but because their enemies were too powerful, which was a crime of non-war.
