Wild North America 1846

Chapter 371 Ending the War with Dignity
The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.

The mighty armored torrents of the Tang Empire fluttered, and the iron cavalry rolled. The boundless Chang'an Cavalry Legion crossed the Pittsburgh defense line and headed northeast to the hinterland of the United States.

The "Royal San Francisco Honorary Cavalry Division", "Royal Chang'an Heavy Cavalry Division", "Royal Los Angeles Dragoon Division", "Omaha Dragoon Division" and other cavalry forces have a total of more than 6.3 cavalry. With the biting killing intent pouring in from the gap in the torn defense line.

Admiral Fan Pengfei took some officers and soldiers of the Colorado Corps to see him off. In the dark cavalry team, he saw the heroic King Qin, His Highness Tang-Li Qian, Duke of California, His Highness Tang-Li Kun, Duke of the North, and Tang-Li, Duke of Hawaii. His Royal Highness Yuan, surrounded by a group of cavalry generals, the young prince swooped towards the northeast.

It took more than three hours for more than 6 cavalry to cross the Pittsburgh line of defense. It was not until close to noon that the field artillery and baggage regiments that fell behind were coming to an end.

In this North American war of unprecedented scale, the Royal Guard adopted a round-robin approach, and all troops were sent to the front line to undergo the baptism of war. After the bloody battle, they became even more elite and powerful.

Pittsburgh, the top of the tallest St. Louis Church tower

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

Everything that happened on the outskirts of the city could be clearly seen through the binoculars, but he couldn't do anything about it, let alone send the Northern Army soldiers in the city out to die.

After a while Admiral Grant said;

"War is too cruel. Whenever thousands of soldiers are driven onto the battlefield, I feel a deep sense of guilt and guilt. Self-blame eats my heart like maggots. God, please forgive me. We are ruining the future of America."

It seems that the Chang'an Cavalry Corps with banners and banners waving like a rainbow poured in from the torn Pittsburgh defense line, and the flood of cavalry with banners and banners could not be stopped.

This was a big blow to Admiral Grant, who had just reached middle age. The continuous setbacks coupled with the scene of the heyday military appearance in front of him finally collapsed his belief in victory.

There was very little space on the narrow tower, and only he and General Samuel Brown, commander of the Pittsburgh Line, stood on it.

The gray-haired General Samuel Brown is a typical descendant of Scots. The wrinkles on his face are as cold and hard as a knife-cut rock. Stone ~ smelly and hard.

At this moment, General Samuel Brown also showed a weak and tired expression on his face. He looked into the distance with empty eyes and said, "The legion of the Eastern Empire is so powerful. It not only has cuirassiers and cuirassiers, but also There is also powerful accompanying firepower, apart from metropolises like New York and Feicheng, I don’t know any town that can stop their progress.”

"Washington should wake up, all resistance is futile."

"I would like to remind you, Commander-in-Chief, that President Andrew Johnson will not admit defeat easily. He still imagines that this term of office will end, even if he drags the entire United States to be buried with him." Speaking of this, Samuel -General Brown laughed at himself, shook his head and continued; "There are still three years in the presidency? I don't know if the United States of America can last for three months. In the city of Pittsburgh, there are only a group of people with The peasants with swords and swords, almost all the troops are buried in this wilderness. We have run out of chips, and maybe it is time to end."

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

The huge US military base comes from the volunteer militias of the states, and senior generals do not have a strong control over the military.

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

under american democracy
The President of the United States has extremely high power during the war and is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the army and the sea. Without the consent of President Andrew Johnson, any peace proposal is empty talk.

If they want to stop President Andrew Johnson from going his own way, they must contact more like-minded people, and before that, they must maintain the precarious situation from completely collapsing.

The Chang'an Cavalry Corps broke through the Pittsburgh defense line, and immediately spread like a runaway torrent in several ways, from Pennsylvania to New York State, and Maine State, killing them, bringing endless fear and death threats along the way.

But this time, the breach of defense caused a huge social shock in the eastern states of the United States. A new round of large-scale refugee waves intensified amid fearful rumors. Countless white families embarked on the journey of fleeing with their families.

On the long way to escape, hunger was everywhere, bones were exposed in the wild, and the seeds of fear were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the United States of America (Northern). After more than 100 years, or even longer, they will linger.

After all, the Chang'an Cavalry Corps was able to kill only a small number of people. More Americans, the old and the weak, women and children died on the hard way to escape. The number is hard to count.

at this most difficult time

The Confederate States of America (South) and the Southern Corps of the Tang Empire launched the 13th General War to march on Washington. In the continuous sound of guns and bloody battles, the North American continent ushered in the Scarlet New Year's Day in 1862.

So far, from October 1857, the American Civil War has entered its sixth year, and the North American War has entered its second year.

The bloody battle lasted until January 1862, 1. The United States of America (North) paid a huge price of 17 casualties, and finally withstood the fierce attack of the coalition forces, stabilizing the Eastern Front on the Ante Timm line south of Washington. .

And at the Battle of Pittsburgh
The Colorado Corps' siege of this industrial city for a month and a half has turned the entire city into rubble and ruins. A large number of troops conscripted by the Northern Army were surrounded and wiped out here, and they are still continuously investing in bloody battles.

The Tang Empire, on the other hand, adopted the method of round-robin battles. A total of 16.5 new recruits who were preparing to join the Colorado Corps and the Northern Corps were engaged in round-robin battles with the cooperation of the veteran divisions, allowing these recruits to grow up quickly.

Although it suffered more than 1.1 casualties, it wiped out about 24.5 mobs of the U.S. Northern Army, killing and injuring a large number of its vital forces.

The Pittsburgh front is like an extremely huge bloody mill, no matter how many troops there are, it is not enough to fill it in. The tragic battle here has once again caused irreconcilable differences in Washington.

Washington White House

"Face the reality, Mr. President, we have already lost this war. If we still want to retain some hope for the future, then the only way out is to facilitate peace negotiations under international mediation as soon as possible." General Grant, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, said clearly expressed his attitude.

Although General Ulysses Simpson Grant has just turned 40 years old, he is already an outstanding commander who has made countless feats in the American Civil War, and enjoys a high reputation in the United States of America and the military.

The Eastern Front he presided over has experienced 13 large-scale battles and countless battles, large and small, and has always stood tall, ensuring that Washington, D.C., Columbia, will not be devastated by war and maintain the dignity of the country.

Under his leadership, the northern army once conquered the southern state of Texas and New Orleans. It seemed that they were only one step away from the final victory. Unfortunately, they failed when the Tang Empire brazenly sent troops to intervene.

As for the failure of the Battle of Chicago personally commanded by Admiral Grant, no one blamed him.

Since the beginning of the first Tang-US war in 1846, the Americans have never gotten cheap from the Tang Empire army.

If you really want to blame it, then blame the Eastern Devil Legion for being too fierce and terrifying.

Up to now, none of the American generals has a distinguished record of defeating the Eastern Corps. Admiral Grant and Lieutenant General Samuel Brown, who can head-to-head with the Datang Empire Corps, are already outstanding.

Now the Northern Army can no longer hold on, and the total number of troops has dropped from 130 million to 10,000+. Facing the coalition forces, they are at a clear disadvantage. It would not be surprising if Washington was captured next week.

This is the highest-level national security meeting held at the White House. The main leaders of the cabinet and the military are present, discussing the most urgent issues of war and people's livelihood.

The domestic food shortage has intensified, and Secretary of Agriculture Lloyd Austin has taken on tremendous pressure. He frowned and said in agreement;
"I agree with the military that this is a bitter journey with no hope of victory in sight, and thousands of soldiers lose their lives every day on the bloody battlefield.

And where you can't see
In the impoverished neighborhoods, on the dirty roads of villages and towns, and in the wilderness covered with bushes, there are fallen corpses of starving people everywhere, and the number is several times higher than that on the battlefield.

This country is bleeding heavily under siege from all sides. The once prosperous villages and towns have been razed to the ground, the farmland is barren, the factories are in ruins, and the cities are devastated in the flames of war. We have no strength to carry on the war.

There is no food in the warehouse, no financial money, the key is that we do not have enough manpower to defend our homeland and the democratic and free life we ​​have always advocated. This is an unprecedented disaster in the United States, and it must come to an end. "

"I agree."

"I second the proposal that a government delegation should be sent immediately to discuss post-war matters. This matter must be done without delay."

Important members of the military and the cabinet expressed their views one after another, and most of them agreed to send a government delegation to discuss post-war matters, provided that there is an immediate ceasefire under international supervision.

last resort
President Andrew Johnson could only let go when the general situation was gone, and agreed to send a delegation to contact the Allied forces. He said; "For the sake of saving the lives of the people, I hope to strive for a dignified end to the war. This is the only request."
