“American Civil War Breaks Out Again! 》
This is New Year’s Day 1877, the most headline event in the whole world.
Tilton publicly announced the formation of the Confederate States of America in Richmond. On the day of its establishment, South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana,
The six states announced their membership in the Confederate States of America at the first time.
With Virginia as the capital, on the day of its establishment, the Confederate States of America directly gathered a full seven states.
On January 1, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina announced their membership in the Confederate States of America.
During the First Civil War, the southern states, in just two days, all announced to join the Confederate States of America.
And such an eye-popping thing instantly attracted the attention of all Europeans.
No one would have thought that a civil war broke out in the United States, which had only been calm for 11 years.
This has stopped countless people who are preparing to immigrate to the United States.
Naturally, the United States could not recognize the legitimacy of the Confederate States. The Democrats were regarded as mutinous. President Hayes urgently called the army and began to prepare for a crusade against the South.
But unexpectedly, nearly half of the U.S. Army declared allegiance to the South.
In 11 years, the Republicans’ prejudice against the South has finally suffered the first wave of backlash.
The entire United States began to recruit troops, and the original regular army began to confront each other on the border, and the US troops stationed on the border of Canada and Mexico also began to advance inland.
The total number of the US Army is less than 200,000 people. It is impossible for a large-scale battle to break out on such a long border.
There was an eerie silence on both sides on the front lines.
……
“The two ambassadors don’t know what kind of assistance they can give us?”
The Governor’s Palace in Richmond was changed to the temporary presidential palace at this time. In the last war, Richmond was also positioned as the capital of the Confederate States.
“Spain can provide active-duty army officers to help your country command the army. But on the contrary, we need your country to buy some of our country’s army equipment.”
“The British can provide you with a lot of army-standard equipment, but on the contrary, we also need your country to buy our country’s naval warships.”
Spanish Ambassador Alves and British Ambassador Jeffrey, both sitting on the other side of the negotiating table, looked at Tilton, the president of the Confederate country opposite.
Although the Confederate States are not as economically comparable to the United States, they also depend on the object of comparison. Even if the South is singled out and placed in any place, it is a regional power.
“Yes, but we don’t just need this assistance, we also need your country to take the lead in acknowledging our legitimacy.”
“If possible, we hope that you can send your soldiers to intervene directly in this civil war to help us gain an independent position.”
Tilton didn’t bargain at all, and the deal was doomed even if the Spaniards and the British didn’t come up with it.
But as long as the hearts of the two countries to split the United States do not die, at least on the negotiating table, appropriate requests for assistance to the two countries will be fully granted.
“It is impossible to send troops directly?? This is completely worth the loss for us. We can dispatch the navy to help you deter the United States, but we cannot do it with the land force.”
The British and the Spaniards are both traditional naval powers. Sending fleets at sea is nothing but a hands-on effort. In addition to the pocket army, the pocket navy of the Americans is not taken seriously.
“There is absolutely no need for us to send an army unit. Our officers can help your country’s army grow into a strong army in a short period of time.”
“As long as you can be equipped with our country’s advanced equipment, coupled with modern training, defeating the northern army is a piece of cake.”
Spanish Ambassador Alves said bluntly that the U.S. Army is at best on the same level as the Cuban rebels. If the Spanish Army is allowed to come to the United States to fight the current Northern Army.
It can be said that adults bully children without a trace of pressure, but the constraints of the reality make this idea only void.
“Even a group of Indians with Spanish-style equipment can defeat the American army. With our help, there is no need to go it alone.”
“Of course, that batch of equipment has nothing to do with us.”
This remark is completely demeaning to the U.S. Army, but what Tilton cannot refute is that what Alves said is the truth.
Several thousand US Army troops not long ago. But it was annihilated by a group of native Indians in Nevada, and even caused a stir in the United States.
Although President Grant has ordered the strengthening of the U.S. Army’s armament, the plan has not yet been implemented, and the civil war has begun, and the armament plan will naturally come to nothing.
“But even so, we still have a huge gap in strength with the North. If there is no external help, then our failure is only a matter of time.”
“The only thing that can change this is rapid and massive support, but even the two countries cannot provide us with such support so quickly.”
“That’s why we need to step up support.”
Tilton is naturally well aware of the plots of Spain and Britain, which are nothing more than to divide the United States without posing a threat to its American colonies.
On the other hand, the current situation is that the two countries hope that the alliance will not fall, and anti-corruption fighter Tilton sees this clearly.
To his surprise, instead of showing embarrassment, the two people on the opposite side looked at Tilton in front of him with strange expressions.
“Your Excellency, the fast and massive support you need, we can do it, and even within a week, we can deliver the supplies to your country.”
“As you don’t know, before this, in Havana and the Bahamas, the warehouses we built to store a large number of military supplies ~www.readmtl.com~ are more than enough for the Confederate countries.”
The two of them naturally wouldn’t say that when you were preparing for the civil war, we had already prepared all the materials you needed, and we were just waiting for you to do business.
“As long as you place an order with us, we can guarantee that all aid will reach the Confederate country within a week!”
Jeff looked at the president of the Confederate States of America with a smile in front of him, and made a promise directly.
“…In this case, then we hope that you can do better as soon as possible, and have a happy cooperation!”
Tilton was silent for a while, thinking of his right-hand man, everything seemed to be connected.
Although I had already thought about giving William two mouths, but the matter has come to this point, there is no reason to turn back the arrow from the string.
