Chapter 62, North-South Negotiations
The United States, a major battle that decided the fate of the governments of the North and South, ended with a loss-making loss.
Tactically speaking, the Southern government won the victory, and they paid less casualties; strategically, the Northern government won the victory.
If there is no foreign force intervention, then the northern government can slowly gain the upper hand with its advantages in human resources industry.
Unfortunately, this is impossible. This civil war has been carried out from the beginning with the intervention of European powers.
With many nurses in it, the industrial advantages of the northern government were not at all exerted. In the era of maritime dynasty, maritime trade between Europe and the United States was developed. No matter how hard the capitalists in the north worked, they were not as good as the European continent.
Moreover, the longer the war lasts, the more debts the southern government owes, the more governments will be unable to let go.
The power of the butterfly effect is powerful. Now the southern government has not only issued cotton bonds, but also owed huge loans from various countries. The three major creditors of Britain, France and Australia have been kidnapped.
It is worth mentioning that a large part of the northern government's war funds were borrowed from the Three Kingdoms. No matter which side of the north and south is over, the three major creditors will suffer heavy losses.
After eating the previous family and eating the next family, if the financial circles of the Three Kingdoms united to cause trouble, this war would not have been the present.
President Lincoln said helplessly: "I can't fight anymore, so I'll negotiate with the Southern Government as soon as possible!"
It really can't continue to fight. The war has gone on and the northern government is exhausted. If it continues to waste and the southern government is dragged to death, they will be almost done.
There are packs of wolves around me. If I really make myself dying in order to defeat the South, it will become the flesh of others.
The capitalists who support Lincoln do not want to kill the United States, which is not in their interests. It is very realistic for everyone to be adults. Since they are destined to fail to succeed, it is better to stop the loss in time.
Otherwise, when the great powers are now focusing on Europe to solve the problem, things will not be so easy once countries look back.
Secretary of State Safar thought for a while and said, "His Excellency the President, will it be too fast? We have a lot of work that has not been completed, and the public opinion is still underway."
Lincoln took out the telegram he just received to redeem: "It's too late, this is the latest information sent by Europe, you can take a look!
Those trash are more useless than we thought. Not to mention subverting the regime, even a new wave of revolution has not started."
Safar read it briefly and said nothing. Judging from this information, the revolutionaries' performance still reached the passing line, but they were still far from Lincoln's expectations.
Even the Hungarian independent organization, which was about to collapse, kept the Vienna government busy for several months. Other revolutionary groups did not give in, and bought valuable time for the federal government.
However, in Lincoln's opinion, these few months have been too short, so short that he has no desire to continue to start a war.
After fighting for so long, he already knew the strength of the Southern government very well, and it would be difficult to win without years of hard work.
Obviously, this is impossible. Once European countries come to their senses, let alone defeat the South, perhaps the remaining areas of the federal government will be spyed.
Lincoln originally expected the Revolutionary Party to set off a new wave of revolution, disrupting the European continent, leaving countries with no time to take care of the American civil war, and thus creating opportunities for the unification of the United States.
Now the uprising started by the Hungarian Independence Organization has failed; the independence movement led by the Irish Independence Organization was also suppressed by the London government; the French Revolutionary Party is still fighting for free France, but they are not good at fighting and are fighting against the Paris government.
The only one who completed the task was the Spanish Revolutionary Party, which is still fighting with the government and cannot be ended in a short period of time.
However, Spain is the weakest in the interference alliance. As long as the three major powers decide to intervene by force, they will follow suit.
The Italian revolutionary organization has also achieved fruitful results. At least Gapoli has occupied half of Sicily and is working hard to seize the entire island.
Unfortunately, this is not what the United States needs. What they want is the Italians launching an uprising in the Venetian region of Sardinia to restrain the energy of France and Austria.
Obviously, the Italian Revolutionary Party is not stupid and has not tried to bite the toughest. After the success of the Gapoli Uprising, everyone turned around to support the Sicily Revolution.
If this continues, both Britain, France and the Austrians can solve internal problems within half a year. At that time, the federal government that caused this chaos will definitely not have any good results.
Lincoln doesn't think that countries do not know the role they play. They often do not need evidence politically, and just analyze the pros and cons.
Now that the compromise is made, the federal government can still occupy a favorable position in the negotiations. If it is dragged on and when countries have the energy to retaliate, the situation will be completely different.
There is no need to think about it, and you will know who European countries will support. If the Southern government is allowed to swallow a few more states, wouldn’t the federal government be even more miserable?
Nowadays, multiple free states are occupied by the Southern government, and all of them need to be taken back. If they cannot do this, the financial backers behind the scenes will not be spared.
Not only the northern government cannot hold on, but the southern government cannot stand it. The number of casualties in both the north and the south is far exceeding the same period in history, and military expenditure is even an astronomical figure.
Long before the outbreak of the General Assembly, the Southern Government proposed peace talks to the Northern Government, but Lincoln and others placed their last hopes on the General Assembly, and did not give a reply for a long time.
Until now, everyone has to admit that with European powers as nurses, they are fighting for human life.
The northern government has a larger population, but the southern government has a smaller population. In addition, the southern army has stronger combat effectiveness, so the gap between the strength of the two sides is not big.
This is a sequelae of the butterfly effect. If there were no intervention from various countries before the civil war broke out, the southern government would not be able to attract so many states to participate.
Politics has always been a shortcoming of the Southern government. Otherwise, as long as the anti-war banner is held high, many federal states will choose to be neutral. Even if the Lincoln government wants to use force, the people will not support it.
Historically, most states in the United States were initially neutral, and many Americans believed that the independence of the South was legal and opposed the use of force to resolve the problem.
It was not until the Southern government fired the first shot that these people changed their positions and stood on the side of the Northern government.
The reality is cruel. The war that lasted for several years has awakened many people, and the political level of the southern government has also been improved in the war.
