Chapter 121 black cuban soldier
“Your Excellency, I hope you can understand. The army officers of the Spaniards can definitely make up for the shortage of troops in your country.”
Alves told Tilton in this way that the soldiers in the south are indeed insufficient compared to the north, but this is not a problem for the Spanish army.
“But the short-term troop disadvantage is completely impossible to organize. If you don’t provide support, we may not be able to survive even in the early stage.”
Tilton also started to alarmist. In fact, the military inferiority of the southern government to the northern government cannot be reflected in a short period of time.
Comparing the two sides does not really carry out large-scale army recruitment, but in the existing regular army in the United States, the number of troops supporting both sides can be said to be almost the same.
But the crying child has milk to eat. At this time, if you don’t ask the two great powers to ask for benefits, you don’t know when you will have such an opportunity.
“Even if the Spanish army officers can arrive in a short time, it is completely meaningless for our team, because we do not have time to wait for you to train our soldiers.”
“The best way is for you to provide us with a group of soldiers, so that we can get through this crisis with peace of mind!”
If the Spaniards really provided a group of soldiers, it would definitely be no problem to deal with such a scene, but the Spanish soldiers had generous subsidies.
Once he died on the American battlefield, it was a disproportionate financial support for the Spanish government, and he died without creating any benefits at all.
Even the army itself is opposed to the task of helping other countries, and may even be unable to exert its own strength because of war weariness or not taking war as one thing.
“Your Excellency, the military strength of our country has always been limited. In the face of such a huge war in your country, even if you send a small number of troops, it will be completely useless.”
“But we can provide your country with a batch of cheap black slaves for your country’s consumption on the battlefield!”
Alves said the bottom line given by Alfonso, it is completely impossible to directly send regular troops to fight, but it is entirely possible to sell a batch of cannon fodder cheaply.
As one of the most important colonies of Spain, Cuba has a large number of black slaves.
Although Alfonso has stipulated the localization of colonies, the Spanish slave policy has not changed. The large number of black slaves on Cuban Island still have no personal rights.
In fact, it was the local Spaniards in Cuba who actually obtained the status of native residents.
The stability of Cuba, on the one hand, can appease these white landlords, and on the other hand, it is necessary to understand the unstable factor of black slaves.
Although the nationalism of black slaves has not yet prevailed, in the long run, it is still a big hidden danger.
“As long as your country buys our weapons, these black slaves can be sold to you at the price of cabbage. Using these black slaves to consume the northern army, I think it should be a good deal.”
This condition of Alves may seem absurd, but for the south, it is a perfect solution.
These slave states don’t care about the life and death of black people at all. If black people are used to consume the precious soldiers of the North, it can be said that it can kill two birds with one stone.
Even the black slaves who were lucky not to die can be replenished to the major manors in the future.
“Black slaves? How many black slaves can you provide us? A group of black slaves equipped with weapons can indeed suspend the northern offensive.”
Tilton thought for a moment and agreed. Like the Spanish army, it was just an interest in the eyes of these politicians.
As long as it can stop the North’s footsteps, whether it is filled with human life or other means?? It doesn’t really matter to the Confederate States of America.
It’s just a little bit better looking.
“As many slaves as there are in Cuba, we can give you as many slaves as possible.”
Alves directly boasted about the sea, indicating that the Cuban slaves might have some obstacles, but buying with money is different. The price of black slaves can be said to be relatively expensive.
In comparison, these manor owners are different from the industrious Chinese and these lazy **** who like to use Chinese laborers. As long as there is hope, they will work seriously.
In contrast, the expensive or unmanageable characteristics of black people who are often troubled are not what these estate owners like.
“The British Empire can also provide you with a batch of black slaves at a low price. We transported them from Canada. After a little training, you can be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield.”
British Ambassador Geoffrey also said that there are also a lot of black slaves in Canada, and it is not a problem to invest a batch to the Confederate States of America.
“Yes, with this batch of black slaves, we have the Spanish Army at the rear to train troops for you, use cheap black slaves to consume their living strength, and elite troops to conquer cities and territories, isn’t it more in line with the interests of the Alliance?”
Alves agrees, sings and sings, and blows this policy into the sky.
“We have a condition.”
Tilton looked at the two singing double reeds in front of him, and said these words slowly.
“We need black slaves to have short-term military training before they come to the United States, so that we can enter the battlefield more easily.”
What the Confederate States of America lack is not money, what they lack now are trained soldiers, whether white or black, what they need now are troops that can go directly into the battlefield.
“You can rest assured that we will order officers to undergo brutal short-term training before sending them to the United States, which can fully ensure that they become useful fighters.”
Alves did not say that he was a qualified fighter, but instead said two words that were useful.
It is good to meet the requirements of the Confederate States. It is definitely impossible to train qualified warriors in a short period of time. uukanshu.com but there is no problem with lining up and shooting.
“The British Empire can also give you a guarantee that they will even bring their own equipment to the American battlefield!”
Jeffrey agrees that in this negotiation, it is the special envoy of the world’s No. 1 British, Jeffrey, who did not show much performance.
Alves seems to be ready with everything President Tilton needs, leaving the proud British ambassador to the United States less of a chance to perform.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as President Tilton can agree to the demands of the two countries, who is in charge is entirely a personal matter.
As long as the two countries can achieve the desired situation, the two governments do not care about these details.
Of course, the same is true for Tilton, as long as it can meet the needs of the Confederate States, it doesn’t matter no matter what.
