Chapter 377: North-South negotiations

The United States, the General Assembly battle that determined the fate of the governments of the North and the South, ended with both defeats.
From a tactical point of view, the southern government won, and their casualties were even smaller; strategically, the northern government won.
If there are no external forces to interfere, then the northern government can slowly take the upper hand by virtue of its human and industrial advantages.
Unfortunately, this is not possible. This civil war was carried out from the beginning with the intervention of European powers.
There are many nurses, and the industrial advantage of the northern government has not been exerted at all. In the era of great navigation, maritime trade between Europe and the United States developed. No matter how hard the capitalists in the north produce, they are not as good as the European continent.
What's more, the longer the war lasts, the more debt the southern government owes, and the more governments will be unable to let go.
The butterfly effect is powerful. Now the southern government has not only issued cotton bonds, but also owed huge loans to other countries. The three major creditor countries of Britain, France and Austria have been abducted.
It is worth mentioning that the northern government's war funding also borrowed a large part from the three countries. No matter which side, north or south, the three major creditors will suffer heavy losses.
Eating from home to eating from home, this war would not have happened until the financial circles of the three countries joined forces to do things.
President Lincoln reluctantly said, "It's impossible to fight, so negotiate with the southern government as soon as possible!"
It is really impossible to fight. The northern government has been exhausted until the war. If they continue to consume, they will be almost the same when the Southern Government is dragged to death.
There are a group of wolves around to serve, if you really want to defeat the south, and toss yourself to death, it will become the meat of others.
Capitalists who support Lincoln don't want to play the United States to death, which is not in their interest. Everyone is an adult. It is very realistic. Since it is doomed to fail, it is better to stop loss in time.
Otherwise, it is not easy to solve the problem while the major powers are focusing on Europe. Once the countries come back, things will not be so easy.
Secretary of State Safar thought for a moment and said, "Have you been too fast, Your Excellency? We have not finished a lot of work and public opinion is still underway."
Lincoln took out the telegram he just received to buy it: "It's too late, this is the latest information sent by Europe. Check it out!
That waste is even more useless than we thought. Not to mention subverting the regime, even a new wave of revolution has not set off. "
Safar looked at it briefly, but said nothing. Judging from this information, the performance of the revolutionaries still reached the passing line, but it was far from Lincoln's expectations.
Even the humble Hungarian independent organization has kept the Vienna government busy for months. Other revolutionary groups did not budge, giving the federal government valuable time.
But in Lincoln's view, these months have been too short, so short that he has no desire to continue the war.
After playing for so long, he already knows the strength of the southern government very much. Without years of effort, it would be difficult to win.
Obviously, this is impossible. Once European nations return to their hearts, let alone defeat the South, and the rest of the federal government's control area will be watched.
Lincoln originally expected the Revolutionary Party to set off a new round of revolutionary waves that disrupted the European continent and left countries with no time to take care of the American Civil War, thereby creating opportunities for American reunification.
Now the uprising caused by the Hungarian independent organization has failed; the independent movement led by the Irish independent organization has also been brutally suppressed by the London government; the French Revolutionary Party is still fighting for free France, but they are not good at fighting and are fighting the Paris government.
The only revolutionary party to complete the task is the Spanish Revolutionary Party, which is still fighting the government and will not end in a short time.
However, Spain is the weakest in the intervention alliance, and as long as the three major powers decide to intervene by force, they will follow suit.
The Italian revolutionary organization is also fruitful. At least Gabori has occupied half of Sicily and is working hard to capture the whole island.
Unfortunately, this is not what the United States needs. What they want is for the Italians to launch an uprising in Sardinia and Lombardy, and to restrain the energy of France and Austria.
Obviously, the Italian Revolutionary Party was not stupid and did not go to the bones. After the Gabriel uprising was successful, everyone turned to support the Sicilian revolution.
If this continues, the three countries, Britain, France and Austria, can resolve internal problems for a maximum of half a year. By then, the federal government that has caused this chaos will definitely not have any good fruit.
Lincoln does not think that countries will not know their role. Politically, evidence is often not needed. It is enough to analyze the pros and cons.
Now that compromise is in place, the federal government can still take advantage of the negotiations. If it drags on, the situation will be completely different when countries have the energy to retaliate.
You don't need to even think about it, you know who the European countries will support. Wouldn't the federal government be worse if the southern government swallowed a few more states?
Several free states can now be occupied by the southern government, all of which need to be recovered. If this is not possible, the gold masters behind the scenes will not spare him.
Not only the northern government can't keep up, the southern government can't stand it either. The number of casualties in both the North and the South now far exceeds the historical period, and military expenditure is an astronomical figure.
Long before the outbreak of the convention war, the southern government proposed peace talks to the northern government, but Lincoln and others pinned their final hopes on the convention war and did not give a reply.
Until now, everyone has to admit that there are European powers who are nurses, and they fight for their lives.
The northern government has a larger population, but the southern government has a larger population. Coupled with the stronger combat effectiveness of the Southern Army, the difference in strength between the two sides is not large.
This is a sequela of the butterfly effect. Without the intervention of various countries before the outbreak of the civil war, the southern government would have no way to attract so many states to participate.
Politics has always been a shortcoming of the southern government. Otherwise, as long as the anti-war flag is held high, many federal states will choose neutrality. Even if the Lincoln government wants to use force, the public will not support it.
Historically, most states in the United States were initially neutral. Many Americans believed that the independence of the South was legal and opposed the use of force to resolve it.
It was not until the Southern Government fired the first shot that these people changed their positions and stood by the Northern Government.
The reality is cruel. The war that has lasted for several years has awakened many people, and the political level of the southern government has also been improved during the war.
During the snoring of European countries, the North and the South started secret negotiations.
