Chapter 286 Davis has turned evil! Robert Lee: I will vote for Lincoln too! A new version of the Civil War!

Yorktown.

This was the site of the last major battle of the American Revolutionary War.

Eighty-six years ago, Washington and his men accepted the surrender of 8,000 British troops here, marking the final victory of the American War of Independence.

More than three years later, Davis stepped into Yorktown, accompanied by Robert Lee, and came to the port. Looking out at the sea of ​​the Chesapeake Bay, he felt a little complicated.

In this civil war, Virginia was on the side of the Confederacy, so Davis and his men had already deployed the Confederacy's few naval forces here to resist the Northern Union's navy.

At this time, the Northern Navy had completed the encirclement of the Gulf. Since the Mississippi River was occupied by the Union Army, they could only replenish logistical supplies through the Gulf here. Because it was so important, they almost deployed their entire navy here.

With heavy military guards, it is extremely difficult for the Northern Federation to land here.

because.

In the bay...in addition to the anchored ships of the Allied Navy, there are also merchant ships from foreign countries such as Britain and France.

The reason why Britain, France and other countries chose to remain neutral in this civil war was that they could have the best of both worlds and take advantage of both sides.

Also because their merchant ships are here, a real naval battle cannot be fought here, so even if the Northern Navy is strong, Davis and his men have a way out.

"Lee, eighty-six years ago... when the British troops arrived here, were they preparing to evacuate or get assistance?"

Standing on the high place, Davis had a feeling of looking at the vast ocean from Jieshi in the east, and suddenly he unconsciously recalled the past.

"Yes, but they didn't get any help in the end and finally surrendered, which is why we have the United States today."

Robert Lee didn't know what Davis was thinking, because Davis had been like this since the news came from the front that Lincoln was winning victory after victory and even breaking through the Mississippi River defense line.

To be honest, this news came quite suddenly.

Robert didn't want to understand Davis's psychological activities. He felt mixed emotions and even doubted his life.

The troops under their command were definitely larger than those of Lincoln and his men, but they were chased and attacked by the Northern Army, lost one important strategic fortress after another, and were forced to almost lose their living space to move.

But ever since Lincoln joined them... the situation took a sharp turn for the better. The Confederacy, which was originally in danger, suddenly came back to life because of Lincoln and his victory, and even gave them hope of victory.

But he couldn't be happy either.

Because he also knew that Lincoln's surrender would be an advantage for them, but the advantage might not be transformed so quickly, and they might have to experience revenge, crazy revenge.

But... in the end, all this was beyond their expectations.

Lincoln actually won, a victory that was unprecedented in history.

To be honest, if the roles were reversed, Robert Lee would not have any confidence in achieving such a brilliant record. Even if he was given twice as many troops, he might not be able to withstand the crazy revenge of the Northern Alliance, as he had not been able to withstand it for one night.

But in the end...Lincoln and his men won.

The victory made him doubt his life, and Robert Lee was so successful that he even felt that Lincoln deliberately used a fake surrender to drive them out of Richmond and force them here...

Now, they are in a difficult situation.

Instead, they didn't know how to treat Lincoln and others, especially Davis...

"Yes, they didn't get any help and were eventually defeated. If we don't get any help, we might have to repeat what happened to the British army and surrender to the Northern Army. That would be the worst outcome."

Robert Lee's response seemed to give Davis an outlet for venting, and his tone was extremely complicated.

"But... we now have such great assistance from Lincoln and his men. They even brought our ally back to life, but... why can't I be happy at all?"

Robert Lee saw Davis's blond hair blown by the sea breeze, and also saw the undisguised frustration on his face.

At this moment, the two of them definitely felt the same way.

"President, I actually feel the same way. Since President Lincoln, especially with the results of the last few battles, it seems that our previous efforts have been in vain. Especially... now many people have turned from pessimism to optimism. They even rekindled their hope for victory and believe that President Lincoln can lead us to ultimately defeat the Union."

This is what made Robert Lee depressed. Compared with Lincoln's victory, his wisdom seemed to be in tatters, and even the soldiers in the army he led began to doubt him.

This trend is definitely dangerous and will be a huge blow to Robert.

"Haha... yeah! They are fucking sons of bitches! Lincoln only came here and won a little victory, but it was as if he had met a new client! The Confederacy has been held together by you and me over the past few years! Without our efforts, how could we be where we are today!?" Davis suddenly became excited and roared.

It's no wonder that he is so excited and angry. It's just that the current trend in the Allied Countries is that people's hearts are no longer on his side.

Even Vice President Stephens was loyal to Lincoln. After hearing about Lincoln's victory, he even wanted to bring people to join Lincoln.

How could this not make him angry.

Everything he had built up over the past three or four years was gone in an instant. Even if he had no credit, he had worked hard. This group of people were worse than whores. Whoever gives you milk is your mother!

"This……"

Robert Lee's mouth twitched, and he even wanted to complain when he saw the excited Davis...

Are you quite proud that the Alliance has reached this point today? If you had not firmly grasped the overall command, made some stupid moves and committed many major strategic mistakes in the early stage, the Alliance would not have been in such a precarious situation.

Obviously, everyone has a mirror in their hearts, and the question of who is stronger between Lincoln and you has already been determined.

Don’t you have any idea yet?
Robert Lee now suddenly had an idea. Since Davis was so intolerant and lacked magnanimity, it seemed that it would be better to replace him with Lincoln, who was more magnanimous and had a broader vision, to lead the Confederacy.

In an instant, he began to understand Vice President Stephens and others.

People cannot be compared. When compared, he found Davis unpleasant in every way.

"President... let's think about what to do next. Should we take this opportunity to attack Philadelphia and New York, or join Lincoln and his men? I've heard that the reason why President Lincoln didn't return after conquering the Mississippi River but instead headed west was probably because he felt embarrassed. He probably also felt that if they won again, we would lose face... so he wanted us to win."

After some psychological activities, Davis did not want to continue to accept Davis' negative emotions. Instead, he jumped away from complaining, returned to reality, and gave the most appropriate suggestion.

He felt more and more that Lincoln's coming to this place where the two dragons could not meet was very politically wise, and he was even afraid that the guest would overshadow the host, so he gave the greatest credit to him.

The current situation is actually very easy to solve.

As long as Davis allowed, they could take advantage of the Northern Union's period of pain caused by Lincoln's surrender and directly lead their troops to attack Philadelphia and New York, thus achieving a more glorious victory in one fell swoop. Davis's limelight was snatched away by Lincoln and he no longer existed.

"Attack Philadelphia? Attack New York... Lee, do you think it's possible? We only have this small army. What if we fail to take it down and lose many people? It's getting more and more difficult to recruit soldiers, and many people are attracted to Lincoln. If we don't have soldiers, what can we do to resist Lincoln when he comes with hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"No! Absolutely not! We can't take down Philadelphia... and New York too!"

However, Davis refused outright and gave another impeccable reason: "We can't even leave Virginia..." "On the contrary... this guy is such a big threat now, and so is the federal army. How can we not defeat them? And why don't we send someone to suppress his momentum now? It's really impossible..."

Davis seemed to have paranoid delusions. He became colder and colder as he spoke. Finally, he said abruptly, "Robert Lee, go to Philadelphia or New York and see if we can cooperate to eliminate Lincoln! Lincoln must be the person we both hate the most! If we cooperate, we should kill Lincoln first..."

"Yes! Kill Lincoln first... then his threat will cease to exist!"

what?
what?
Robert Lee was in great shock as he was wondering what Davis was thinking. He stared at Davis, whose imagination was becoming more and more perfect. He now had only one thought.

Their President Davis might have gone crazy!

What made him think that he could join forces with the Northern Army to kill Lincoln first?

Lincoln killed your whole family or something, he was not trying to find a solution for Davis, to find the right way out.

Is there something wrong with Davis' understanding? There is something wrong with his understanding. How could he think of such an outrageous thing?

"The president...killed, killed Lincoln? Why? He...he didn't do anything wrong?"

Robert Lee's cerebellum shrank for a moment, but he quickly reacted and stopped Davis from going any darker.

He also discovered that it seemed as if he had truly gotten to know Davis for the first time, and that Davis's tolerance was even smaller than he had imagined, or perhaps even smaller.

Is Davis real or fake now?

"How can I not make mistakes! Li, didn't you say... after he came, your efforts were meaningless! He completely covered up our presence, shouldn't he die? And... he was the president of the Federation, but he surrendered all of a sudden. He is a traitor, he is Satan, shouldn't he die?"

Looking at the crazy Davis, Robert Lee finally reacted.

It turns out that Davis treated him as a fellow traveler.

But you are not so petty, what's more, other people's investment has brought so many benefits and immediate changes. You think so in your heart, but don't say it out loud.

"Phew... President! I think you need to calm down... If this gets out, more people might choose President Lincoln."

Robert Lee had to give his final advice seriously.

"Li, believe me, I'm calm enough! This is the only way I can do now. We are family... so this matter must not be spread outside. You have to find a subordinate who is absolutely loyal to you... No, I will find this person, and then let him contact Washington secretly... This person is..."

"Yes! Representatives from Britain and France! They can definitely help us make this deal!"

Davis looked towards the coast and saw the national flags on the British and French ships. He immediately perfected his plan.

Robert Lee was speechless for a moment, and even... sighed. It was hopeless. The Davis in front of him was completely possessed and beyond redemption.

His words were clearly meant to remind Davis not to think like that.

"President...I may have to leave for a while. I want to think about my future."

It's not that he betrayed Davis, but after seeing Davis's true face, Robert regretted seeing Davis so late. Vice President Stephens and others had obviously been with him the longest and had already seen Davis's face.

"Li, yes... this matter needs to be carefully planned... You don't need to get involved from now on. I will take the initiative to ask the British and French ambassadors to come over... The fewer people who know about this, the better."

It was destined to be a case of talking at cross purposes. Davis was so immersed in his own plan that he had no time to pay attention to Robert Lee's changes and advice. Instead, after giving Robert Lee instructions, he left before Robert Lee, as if he was afraid that his plan would be useless if it was too late.

Robert Lee was completely speechless.

Was he blind to follow Davis?

He regretted more and more, and at the same time he couldn't help but look towards the west...

Should he tell Lincoln about this? If the Confederacy was really messed up by Davis, would the originally good situation become worse? And then... Davis would join forces with the North to wipe out Lincoln. This plot was too magical and he didn't even dare to think about it.

"General...General Grant is looking for you!"

With a heavy heart, Robert Lee returned to the military camp.

However, just after returning to the barracks, when difficult choices were faced in life, a guard came to report.

"Which Grant?" Robert Lee suddenly came back to his senses.

"Old Grant." The guard obviously understood.

"What is he here for..." Robert Lee thought for a moment.

"Just in time, where is he? I want to see him!"

Grant's appearance seemed to show Robert Lee a way forward. He immediately made up his mind not to let Davis continue like this. Even if he couldn't stop Davis, he had better bring this news to Lincoln.

The Confederacy could now lose Davis, but it could not lose Lincoln.

Davis has lost his original intention and now only cares about his position as president.

"Uh... Davis wants to unite with the North to fight against President Lincoln?"

"Lee, are you sure?"

A few minutes later, Grant learned all this and his brain was a little overwhelmed.

"Grant, do you think I would joke about this? If you don't believe me, just stand here and look at Davis's actions. I think he seems to be crazy now!"

Robert Lee solemnly repeated: "By the way, Grant, why did you come to see us? Is there something wrong with President Lincoln?"

"It's okay...it's just...Lee, are you sure Davis wants to do this?"

Grant subconsciously transferred the grenade he was playing with into the chat group space. At this moment, a playful smile appeared on his face. It seemed that the civil war had really entered a new version and was becoming more and more interesting.

"Sure, sure!"

Robert Lee naturally didn't know that he might have been to hell.

"Tsk tsk...everyone!"

"I found a big fun thing!"

The next moment, Grant sent this message directly to the group.

But after he said this, another thought suddenly came to his mind and he decided not to say it anymore.
