I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 282: Situation changes! America enters the Three Kingdoms era!
Richmond.

The snow was still falling, and it was getting heavier, like a crazy counterattack by the Northern Army.

After a night of counterattack, the Northern Army seemed tireless. From all directions of Richmond, the sounds of gunfire and artillery fire were getting louder and louder.

Faced with their crazy counterattack, Robert Lee and his men could only endure it silently.

Fortunately, Lincoln had emptied out his logistics before leaving. Although their actions seemed crazy, the actual attacks were only in waves. In addition, their command system was not even set up that quickly.

After a night of fighting, Johnson and the others seemed to have calmed down.

While Robert and others were bearing the wrath of Lincoln and others.

In a square in Richmond, Zhu Houzhao and his coalition forces from various time and space, as well as the 50,000 troops brought by Lincoln, did not participate.

At this moment, they are actually carrying out a special competitive event.

"come on! Come on!"

"Don't let your army fail to catch up with the army of 20 years ago!"

In the open space of the square, two teams were doing mountain cross-country running, and the soldiers watching were cheering for their favorite teams.

Sherman began to curse his team.

On the playground, two teams of one hundred men were competing, one was Jackson's one hundred men, and the other was Sherman's one hundred men.

The U.S. Army during the Lincoln era vs. the U.S. Army during the Jackson era.

With nothing to fight, it's natural for them to compete with each other.

This off-road obstacle team game was brought by a hundred mercenaries in the Wilson era. They were allowed to carry weapons and artillery shells. The game was just two kilometers long and the goal was to see whose team could cross the minefield first and break through the enemy's commanding heights.

In their words, this is the type of war taking place on the European battlefield right now, allowing everyone to experience future wars.

Wilson's mercenaries have already been shown once, and now it's the other two armies' turn to compete.

However, although the two teams were twenty years apart, the combat qualities they displayed were exactly the same, which made Sherman extremely angry.

"Wang Shouren, do you see anything?"

Zhu Houzhao naturally would not miss such a good opportunity.

After everyone judged that Davis and others would not let them go to the battlefield so soon.

They came to join in the fun.

"General, I see. If the future war situation is all like this, and our enemies also have such powerful muskets and artillery, it will be a disaster for the original Ming army."

Wang Shouren looked at it very carefully, and took notes quickly with paper and pen he found from somewhere.

He even learned to use the American pen.

"So, this is why I brought you here to experience it... Our Ming Dynasty is really far behind America!"

Zhu Houzhao patted Wang Shouren on the shoulder and said with great emotion: "You are also a saint of my Ming Dynasty. In the future, I will need to rely on you to build such an army for our Ming Dynasty."

"General, all I can say is, I will try my best."

Wang Shouren did not dare to guarantee it, and said: "The gap in concepts will take a long time to catch up, and the gap between us Ming soldiers is not only in concepts, but also in the use of hot weapons, and..."

Wang Shouren naturally also saw the huge gap between the Ming army and the current American army, and both were at a disadvantage.

"Okay! Take your time, let's give it a try and see how big the gap is between us and the U.S. military."

As Zhu Houzhao spoke, he and Wang Shouren began to organize a hundred people to go down to the arena for a duel.

Without the status of Emperor, he is now much freer.

However, Zhu Houzhao soon discovered that the Ming army, which he had trained hard for three months and was led by him and Wang Shouren, not only could not defeat Jackson's army, but also made a lot of jokes in this simple training.

He didn't blame anyone.

Because it was his first time to make a charge like this, and he was exhausted after the whole trip.

After knowing the shame, Zhu Houzhao found Jackson.

"President Jackson, I would like you to help us train our army!"

He stated his purpose directly.

"General Xiao Zhu...training, I think your army should learn to shoot first. Your current collective quality is not even as good as the Qing army led by Grant. Many people can't even shoot."

Jackson naturally declined his offer. Zhu Houzhao and his men's performance was no better than that of Washington's legion.

But in fact, it is already good enough. The gaps between time and space here are decades or even hundreds of years.

"President Jackson, we will definitely train well when we return, but some tactical training methods are more valuable. Our Majesty has come up with a quick way to let your team and my team pair up for one-on-one guidance. If there is a war next, we will follow you."

Zhu Houzhao naturally decided to rely on Jackson.

He originally wanted to find Cleveland or Roosevelt's army, but their army is now the main force of the coalition forces. They are so arrogant that even the US military's own army looks down on them, let alone them.

They are even anti-Chinese.

This was something that Cleveland and Roosevelt had no control over, and Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to seek coordination with Lincoln over such a small matter.

"This? That's fine too... But, General Xiao Zhu, our biggest obstacle is actually the language problem... How much I can teach you actually requires you to see more. I will tell you all."

Jackson thought about it for a moment and naturally agreed.

Anyway, their troops could not become the main force, so he didn't mind helping Zhu Houzhao.

"That's all! Actually, on the battlefield, there's no need for much communication, right?"

Zhu Houzhao also immediately made arrangements and gave instructions.

So, next, their teams were all broken up and fully and effectively integrated with Jackson's team.

One to one, I help you and you help me.

Naturally, there were many jokes in this regard, so there is no need to recount them one by one.

The main focus is on Zhu Houzhao... He intends to show off in front of Jackson.

He also showed some talent in language learning from time to time, which aroused Jackson's interest in teaching him. After a day's work, Jackson was amazed at Zhu Houzhao's amazing learning ability.

"General Zhu, are all you Orientals as smart as you?"

After the training, Jackson even met with Zhu Houzhao alone. There was no need for an interpreter between the two. Jackson even felt as if he and Zhu Houzhao were close friends who had known each other for a long time.

"Haha, it's okay. It's just that I'm smarter, so His Majesty chose me to come here."

Zhu Houzhao naturally would not tell Jackson that he already knew a lot about Jackson, which was why he chose Jackson.

"But, no matter how smart you are... you can use some language phrases that I haven't taught you freely... Is there really a genius in the world?"

Jackson naturally didn't believe it. Instead, he looked at Zhu Houzhao carefully with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"President Jackson, just think of me as a genius of tomorrow. There are always geniuses in this world that you cannot understand."

Zhu Houzhao did not reveal his identity. There was no need for that. He already liked the benefits of keeping his identity secret.

"Okay, then I'll treat you as the genius you are now..."

"So, next, General Zhu, what situation do you think Lincoln will face?"

Jackson was not a fool. He understood something but did not say anything. Instead, he tried to test the situation. "President Lincoln's situation... Actually, our Majesty has already said... President Lincoln's situation is actually very embarrassing. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be used by President Davis and his men. President Davis and his men will consume President Lincoln's army and force President Lincoln and his men to take the initiative to attack in a very fair and aboveboard way, perhaps making President Lincoln, that is, our coalition forces, the main force..."

Zhu Houzhao didn't mind showing off his analysis in front of Jackson.

Lincoln’s current situation, Davis’ current situation, and the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Biao speak for themselves.

In this regard, Jackson is actually blank.

Zhu Houzhao actually saw it clearly.

"Really... Davis, will he really go this route?"

Instead, Jackson looked towards Davis' residence with some confusion.

……

"How should we deal with the Northern Army? How should we deal with Lincoln and his men?"

Davis naturally saw the situation on the parade ground. It was really uncomfortable for him to see his own army fighting in front of him while other troops were just strolling around.

Davis was so anxious that his mouth was covered with blisters.

"Mr. President, given the current situation... since we cannot absorb all of President Lincoln's troops... I think we should just let Lincoln and his troops fight the Northern Army head-on on our behalf!"

"And! Let them take back Gettysburg..."

"We can take this opportunity to open up the Mississippi River route and get in touch with California."

Davis also had talented people on his side, and he quickly figured out how to accommodate Lincoln and others.

"Well...will they agree to this?"

Davis' eyes lit up and he couldn't help looking at the map. This strategy really killed two birds with one stone. His only worry was whether Lincoln and others would agree.

"President, they have no choice! Lincoln's choice has forced himself into a dead end. If you, President, declare that you do not need them, Lincoln will have nowhere to go."

“They just have to agree!”

"But... in this case, we may lose our strong reinforcements if Lincoln and his army are defeated! We won't be able to get reinforcements for the time being, and..." Davis typically wants to have it both ways.

"President... unless you are willing to give up your presidency to President Lincoln..."

These words were heartbreaking enough. Davis had already defeated Lincoln in a head-to-head election, and the word "again" reminded him of the sad past.

"Mr. President, we are not asking President Lincoln and his men to take Gettysburg. They only have 50,000 troops, while the Union Army has 200,000 troops! Can they win?"

"The main thing is to make them lose troops in the process. President Lincoln with an army of 50,000 is much easier to deal with than President Lincoln with an army of 10,000."

"Besides, if they die in the rear, it will be even better for you, President!"

"Okay! Then you go inform Lincoln and General Robert Lee! Change strategy!"

This was almost the only option before Davis, and he had no choice but to agree.

therefore.

Lincoln and his men were soon informed that they could join the war.

"Everyone! Just as His Majesty Xiao Zhu and President Wilson had previously speculated..."

"Davis allowed us to join the battlefield!"

"But they let us stay behind... and even hoped that we could defeat the Union Army, recapture Gettysburg, and open up the Mississippi River again!"

“And they won’t give any resources!”

In the camp, although he had received the order to fight, now that it had come to this, Lincoln still felt like a nobody.

Because everything that everyone had discussed before had come true one by one.

Davis's magnanimity surprised him.

He obviously came here sincerely.

"This is normal... Davis has a little ambition at the moment, so he will go this way."

Xu Pengju was already used to communicating with Lincoln and the others on an equal footing: "I have already reminded you before this."

Lincoln smiled bitterly and didn't want to comment.

"So... Davis and Robert Lee, they are going to retreat to Yorktown, and then... let us take back the large tracts of lost territory of the Confederacy, right? And... they are almost facing the Union Army of 200,000 troops head-on."

Old Grant looked at the map in front of him and was not surprised.

"Yes! That's the situation!"

"They might take advantage of our victory and flee to the rear, waiting for us to engage in a civil war with the Northern Army..."

Lincoln sighed and turned to look at Xu Pengju: "Even...if the current situation continues, the situation of the Three Kingdoms mentioned by His Majesty Xiao Zhu will also occur!"

"Davis couldn't tolerate me, so I had no choice but to develop in the western part of the Confederacy..."

"It's just that, in this way... it's possible that the Three Kingdoms era of our America will truly appear."

Lincoln really did not expect or anticipate that the situation would become so complicated.

"The Three Kingdoms Era will never happen! No matter how President Lincoln and Davis plan, they will never expect that we will help you!"

“I think this is an opportunity!”

Taft said directly: "Next, we will help you use more than 30 years of tactical armaments to crush the Northern Army. Even in the worst case, we can help you recapture Gettysburg and return to the eastern part of the Confederacy! As long as we break through the blockade... and you integrate the east, you can completely replace Davis!"

"Davis and the others really underestimated our advantages!"

Taft, who comes from the future, naturally has confidence in this regard.

"In fact, I also think this is a better approach! President Lincoln, sooner or later you will have to confront Davis and even compete for the position of President of the Confederacy. Now, he wants you to fight the Northern Army desperately. This is actually an opportunity for true independence."

"So what about the Three Kingdoms..."

“We are making American history right now!”

"If there are more three-country situations, perhaps it can provide some historical experience and cases for the future America."

Grant and others naturally enjoyed watching the fun, and instead hoped that Lincoln would take this opportunity to once again get America out of a third country.

"A third country... To be honest, President Lincoln, I think this is a good idea! In fact, at present, both the Federation and the Confederation have the shadow of the old America. If... you really want to build a brand new America..."

"You might as well take this opportunity to build a centralized America that truly listens to you!"

"Under the guidance of the chat group and us, such an America may be able to develop into a powerful America earlier."

Wilson now even expected Lincoln to truly divide the world into three parts.

"This...is this really possible?" Lincoln hesitated.

"Why not! President Lincoln, our 1,000-man army from across time and space will help you unify America again!"

"Don't you believe in us?" Pershing encouraged Lincoln.

"Okay! Since we have everyone's help... America is already in chaos enough, the three kingdoms in the East are not impossible!"

With the support of everyone, Lincoln also took the risk.
