Chapter 141 public opinion

The next day, the Confederate media of America reported on the arms purchase treaty between the Spaniards and the Americans.

“We have reached an agreement with the Spaniards that there will be an integrated division of the Spanish army to upgrade our troops,

And in order to win this war, we will form the world’s top army of up to 400,000 people.

The new army will undergo a series of transformations based on the Spanish Army.

Meanwhile on the seas, the Spanish and British ships will help us against the ships of the United States.

And we are a legitimate and independent country, and any decisions we make are ours to make. ”

In the middle of the American newspaper is a propaganda picture of a Spanish soldier.

In order to enhance the self-confidence of nationals of the Confederate States of America,

Americans have already used the propaganda of Spanish soldiers to achieve their goals.

The reputation of the Spanish Army began to spread in major European and American countries in 1875.

Whether it is the Weali rifle in the hands of the infantry, and the only Maxim machine gun in the army and the esp1875 artillery used in the army.

Only the Spanish Army is fully equipped with these weapons in the world army.

Although it has fallen from the reputation of the world’s first army,

However, the advanced equipment of the Spanish Army and the name of the most advanced army still make the people of the Confederate States of America feel more confident.

“Have you heard that the brother government is ready to use the equipment of the Spaniards to strengthen our military.”

In a wine house in Richmond, USA, Thomas, a worker who just got off work, said this to his co-workers.

Although the United States has officially declared a civil war, it does not affect the normal work of workers.

Because of the limitation of the number of troops, the two sides did not break out large-scale conflicts, and both maintained a relatively restrained attitude.

For Americans, most of them are elderly people who have lived through the Civil War.

“I heard that it is not only to buy equipment, but also to hire Spanish officers to train the army for us and reform our military system.”

“If that’s the case, the northern armies won’t win.”

Thomas’s co-workers replied that the U.S. Army’s performance was well known, and was even annihilated by the Indians in Little Bighorn.

The armies of both the North and South belonged to the same organization before the outbreak of the Civil War.

People in the United States will know more or less about the reports of the U.S. Army in mainstream European countries.

Although I don’t want to admit that the U.S. Army is weak, in fact, the comparison with various aspects proves that the U.S. Army still has a great gap with the mainstream European Army.

For example, in a war against indigenous peoples, no major power country has ever been defeated or even wiped out like the Americans.

After that, the Italians once faced Ethiopia, were beaten down by the natives, and were ridiculed by Europe for decades.

“That group of **** northerners, this time they can’t use conspiracy and tricks again.”

Thomas said with a bit of resentment that his impression of the Northern Republican Party was actually not very good.

Since the end of the Civil War, the Northern Republican Party has never had a policy of building railroads or schools in the South.

This has also caused dissatisfaction with Republican policies in the southern United States.

Thomas and his co-workers are typical southerners.

Rather than letting the Republicans continue to rule them, it is better to let their own Democrats work for them, which is the truest idea of ​​a lower class.

Although the Democrats are very unfriendly to blacks, their policies towards whites in the South are still very good.

In this period, racial discrimination was more serious, and the preferential treatment of blacks was not recognized by mainstream whites.

“Yes, yes, then we can just wait for the good news at home.”

…

Unlike Thomas and the others who have lived in the United States since childhood, there are also a group of Europeans who have just immigrated to the United States.

Since the end of the Civil War, a large number of Europeans have immigrated to the United States.

And most of these people have no so-called sense of belonging to the United States.

Now that there is another war in the United States, these people still maintain a skeptical attitude toward the United States.

Most of the European immigrants came to the United States, in fact, the primary purpose is to avoid the frequent and constant wars in Europe.

The second is to come to the United States to dig for gold.

After the Confederate States of America reported the news, the United States of America, far in the north, naturally got the news.

This is undoubtedly a blatant insult and betrayal to them.

“These southerners are willing to betray their country and to be the stooges of the Spaniards and the English,

If the price of independence is the loss of their sovereignty, then I advise them to return as soon as possible, the United States of America still welcomes all the people of the United States,

Democrats have used their means to divide America for their own rights

This is good news for Europe. The British and Spaniards have gradually begun to be wary of the growing power of the United States.

They are treasonous and not independent! ”

“As for the Western powers, we still just want to say one thing,

Republicans will never turn a blind eye to all the intrigues to divide America.

The armament provided by Spain to the Democratic Party is in complete violation of the International Neutrality Treaty.

This is interfering in the internal affairs of the United States and seriously infringing upon the personal rights and interests of all people in the United States of America.

To this end, the United States of America lodged a serious protest, and called on European countries to stop and protest against this kind of behavior. ”

“Treading the Stars”

Following the announcement of the Democrats, the spokesperson for the Foreign Office of the United States of America also gave an official public speech.

The article not only criticized and protested the behavior of the southern rebels, but also protested the way the European powers interfered in the internal affairs of the United States.

For Northern Republicans, the Confederate States of America established by Southern Democrats were completely illegitimate.

Although the U.S. Constitution does not deny that states have their own independent rights.

But once someone is really fighting for independence, there must be only one result, and that is civil war.

The United States of America has also responded to Democrats’ public efforts to strengthen the American South.

And Germany, which Yu Yingxi did not deal with, became their primary cooperation target.

The German Army was briefly the world’s No. 1 after the Spaniards took it away.

After purchasing nearly 1,000 artillery pieces from the Spanish Army, the title of the World’s No. 1 Army is still crowned on the Germans’ heads.

Unlike the Spaniards, who only had combat experience against rebels.

The German Army defeated Austria in 1866 and France in 1870.

The prestige brought by his achievements is also unattainable for ordinary people.

So the United States of America targeted the Germans.
