The plan could never catch up with the rapid change. The American Civil War, which I thought was about to end, was still in a stalemate in 1864.

The battles at the level of hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be completed in one or two days. Neither the north nor the south can afford the war, and the commanders on both sides are mature and persistent, and the battles have become wars of attrition.

The southern army has a slightly strong combat power, but the northern army is large. On the front line that is more than 100 kilometers long, the two sides fought many fierce battles, but the result was that they had a win or a loss. Overall, it was still half a dozen.

The power of the butterfly effect is powerful. With the help of various countries, the southern government was strengthened, while the northern government was weakened, and the increase and decrease were directly reflected on the battlefield.

In New York, President Lincoln was about to collapse when he looked at the telegram asking for help in his hand. This was the ninth time that he had requested reinforcements. Since the beginning of the decisive battle, he would basically receive three or four telegrams for help every week.

If anyone else says: use his strong national strength to fight the war of attrition with the other party and drag the rebels to death, Lincoln will definitely go up and shave him a few big ears.

Industrial advantages. With the support of the great powers, does the north really have industrial advantages?

The rebels in the south have limited industrial manufacturing capabilities, can't they buy it?

Now the northern government cannot block the southern ports. The navies on both sides have fought many fierce battles, but the northern navies are still unable to win.

Economic advantages are even more nonsense. Do you really think that all capitalists are patriots and can sacrifice their families and make selfless contributions to the country?

Class interests do not equal personal interests, making money is the first priority. As long as you make money, who cares whether the United States will split?

Capital without borders is not a joke, but it is real. As long as you make money, even if you leave the United States, they can still live a very comfortable life.

On the contrary, selfless support for the federal government won the war, and finally came to the time to divide the spoils: Sorry, this is an era of speaking with strength.

Although the northern government has a larger economic scale, the southern government is not much worse than their wealth that can be mobilized.

At least cotton bonds in the south are more popular in the international capital market than war bonds in the north. In order to support the southern government, Britain, France, and O'Si have received many bonds from the southern government.

It’s different when it’s the Northern government’s turn. Either pay for foreign exchange or pay for gold and silver. What is the US dollar? Don’t you know?

The final tragic discovery was that the real advantage of the northern government was that it was large inhabitants and could fight against the southern government.

However, this advantage is not without restrictions. If the losses are too heavy, the people's war-weariness will rise.

Since the beginning of the decisive battle, on average, the Northern Government Army lost a regiment of troops every day, and handling telegrams for help from the front became President Lincoln's daily work.

President Lincoln asked with a haggard face: "My War Minister, please tell me how long will this battle last?"

Minister of War Semon-Ca Meisang thought about it and said: "Sorry, only God knows about this issue of Your Excellency the President. I only know that I cannot take risks now. The federal government cannot afford to lose this battle."

Secretary of State Safar added: "So can the casualties be reduced? At the current rate of loss, it is estimated that if the rebels are suppressed, the United States will have no future."

Because of Franz's butterfly effect, as soon as the war broke out, a large number of weapons and equipment were sold to the warring governments in the north and south, and the speed of expansion of both sides exceeded that of the same period in history.

In line with this, the training time of soldiers has been greatly reduced. On average, each soldier has less than 40 days in training. In the most crisis, the federal government soldiers were sent to the battlefield after less than a week of training.

The sequelae is the casualties between the two sides, which exceeded the same period in history. A large amount of young and strong losses have threatened the rule of the federal government.

War Minister Semon-Ca Beauty explained: "We have not pursued the case by state governments to get criminals, gangsters, and a large number of soldiers of color.

The quality of the soldiers is unqualified, and casualties will inevitably increase. At least the death rate of the white soldiers has dropped."

Lincoln immediately interrupted, "Your Excellency, don't say such words. They are all federal soldiers. No one understands the distinction between races!"

Some things can be done but cannot be said. Politically correct, and there was also a sharp attack in the United States in this era.

...

President Jefferson Davis is facing the same problem, with the cruel casualties exhausting the Southern government.

The lack of human resources has become the biggest problem for the Southern government. Although labor export companies are active, these cheap laborers from the African continent are not easy to use and must undergo rigorous training to become qualified laborers.

If the Northern government is willing to compromise, he does not mind stopping the war immediately. If the Southern government, which lacks manpower, will be difficult for the Northern government to fight.

Of course, they are not afraid of the northern government. If they really fight to the end, they can still do it with the northern government. At least they think they can do it.

In less than four years, the total population of the United States fell by 5% due to the Civil War, which was based on the influx of Asian and Black people.

The northern government spans the east and west oceans and occupies the advantage of receiving Asian immigrants, while the southern government accepts most African immigrants due to its geographical location.

Currently, there are at least 400,000 active black soldiers fighting for the Southern government, and the total number of black soldiers who have been killed has exceeded 250,000.

In order to encourage slave owners to take black slave soldiers to the battlefield, the federal government also issued double compensation. After all, well-trained black slaves are excellent cannon fodder, while the black workers who just arrived were still unruly.

In order to encourage the morale of black soldiers, at the insistence of Robert Lee, the Confederate government lifted the slaves of black slave soldiers and issued huge rewards, such as: for every two enemy soldiers killed, one black slave, or equivalent wealth is rewarded.

The direct sequelae is that there are almost no prisoners in the army composed of black soldiers.

President Jefferson Davis asked with concern: "Mr. Robert, have the British agreed to send troops to intervene?"

The snake cannot do without a head. As John Bull, who has made the most effort in the interference alliance, has become the leader of the alliance.

Now the North and South are in a stalemate, and it is a good time to interfere. As soon as the interfering coalition appears, the balance of strength between the two sides instantly breaks.

Even if one of the countries takes action, it can become the last straw that overwhelms the camel and breaks the balance of strength between the north and the south.

Secretary of State Robert frowned and said, "The British still want to watch us kill each other. Anyway, the war has been fought now, and there are no winners.

The number of casualties in this battle has reached 380,000, of which 110,000 were killed; the northern government is approaching 600,000, and at least 180,000 people have been killed.

Even if we win this battle, we will not be able to continue to expand the results in a short period of time. The Northern government will not be much better, and no one can continue to fight."

Vice President Alexander opposed: "This may not be the biggest role of the battle is in morale, not just the number of casualties.

No matter how heavy the casualties are, as the winner, there are at least tens of thousands of mobile troops. As long as the army is full of morale, continuous combat can be persisted.

At that time, the losers can only rely on the interference of the coalition forces. Only when they take action in times of crisis can they gain the best interests."

This is a fact. An army with strong morale can often defeat an army with several times the morale. After the war ended, more than 100,000 troops were able to influence the outcome of this civil war.

However, this does not threaten the interference coalition forces. With more than 200,000 new forces joining, the situation on the battlefield can be reversed in an instant. For greater interests, the British were naturally willing to decide the outcome before taking action.

This is the difference between reality and theory. Theoretically, the northern government has a total force of more than 2 million, and the southern government has a total force of more than 1 million, and the coalition forces are only more than 200,000, which has no effect at all.

In fact, the total force does not equal the force that can be put into combat. The first thing that states need to ensure is their own safety, rather than taking it out for combat.

Secondly, there are combat-effective troops. Take the northern government as an example. If half of the more than 2 million troops are the main force, they can crush the south two or three times.

In fact, not to mention half of the main force, one-tenth of the main force is not available. Except for the more than 100,000 troops, the rest are all mobs.

You can't expect the 16,000 rookie army to split into two waves of civil war, and train millions of elite troops in less than four years.

Historically, the battle between the two sides is often the scale of tens of thousands of people. If both sides are seeking stability and are reluctant to invest in elite troops, there will be no such large-scale battle.

After a moment of silence, Jefferson Davis spoke: "Contact secretly with the Northern Government and explain the situation to them. If you don't want the British to get a bargain, you will admit that we are independent and end this war."

Secretary of State Robert shook his head and said, "I guess there is no hope. We can indeed minimize the losses when we negotiate a settlement in private, but politicians in the northern government cannot bear this responsibility.

I don't think they will be willing to take their political life because of patriotism, and even be retaliated by capitalists in the future."

This is a real problem. There are always a few selfless people. Historically, after the Southern government was at a disadvantage, weren’t they traitors for their own interests?

It is no higher than the chance of winning the lottery if you expect the Northern government to be selfless patriots.

Under the military interference of the great powers, the federal government has been divided, and politicians can still get rid of the blame.
