"On April 20, the weather in Atlanta was pretty good, but as usual in the morning, Yankees' shells flew over... Early morning shelling has become the norm. I heard that Yankees' artillery likes to shoot in the early morning to get enough today's number so that they have more time, including most of the morning, the whole afternoon, and the whole night to go out to play... Our Southern Army gunners basically took a vacation directly, and the trenches made it difficult for both sides to really get shells.

It's helpless to hit someone, but there are so many ways... Atlanta is still sticking to it. The morale of the soldiers may not be high, but no one has ever thought about surrendering. They all know how to treat them when they fall into the hands of the Yankees. Now there are no people in the villages outside Atlanta, or the villages no longer exist. Where have they gone? We have to ask the Yankees! So, the soldiers will definitely fight to the end, the people of the south! Let's support Atlanta together!..."

This article is the headline of "Women's Power". Of course, this newspaper is not today, almost a month ago, but it still conveys a lot of information.

First of all, this must be written by Eleanor... Well, Li Mengyang naturally knew about this at a glance, and the reason why he wanted to read this newspaper was actually... He said that he didn't want Eleanor in his heart, how could this be possible ≤∈?

Li Mengyang will never forget the figure who was standing in front of him in his life.

Okay, let me put my thoughts aside first, there are still many things in this article.

Atlanta is now in a confrontation stage, and the trench makes it difficult for both sides to break through the opponent's defense line. The artillery of this era is almost useless. Even French mortars cannot cause too much results.

But to be honest, Li Mengyang knew that no matter how good the trench was, if the firepower was strong enough, it would still not be able to hold on. In fact, the current firepower problem has a solution to the empire, that is, the mortar!

It should be said that the empire's mortars are still relatively ordinary now. They are just the beginning of thinking about the shells, but this weapon shows very good killing, mainly because of their parabolic method.

Weapons still need to be improved, but Li Mengyang has done something that does not conform to his general practice, that is, he did not sell mortars to the south of the United States, and naturally there was not in the north, because they were blocking the empire.

You know, Li Mengyang is a person who likes to accelerate technological progress with market pressure. He used to do this in electric lights and other things. But now, he has not done this.

As long as there are enough mortars and strong enough, they can destroy the trenches, because this thing can be killed enough, and the landing point can actually be calculated. Although it cannot be so accurate, it is OK to have enough. The cannons that the American Yankees are now fired all day long, and they can also see that the effect of shooting in this way is better than ordinary cannons.

But Li Mengyang adopted a very strict blockade, and no one should sell this mortar to the south!

Why?

The reason is particularly simple, that is, Li Mengyang was afraid that the mortar would be sold to the south, so he couldn't control it anymore and was learned by the Yankees!

Is mortar difficult?

In fact, it is not difficult. This kind of gun is just a different perspective. In the past, everyone used to work hard on the gun barrel, but now we use the brains of the shells, but now it is that simple. The gun barrel is even simpler. It doesn’t require rifling, and the smooth bore is enough.

So, basically, this thing is clear at a glance!

But if the Yankees learn this thing, what will happen?

The Civil War will end soon!

This is the result, inevitable and very fast.

Why is Li Mengyang so sure?

Of course he was sure, and he was very sure!

You know, it is 1867 now. If it were the original history, the American Civil War would have ended long ago, and then the United States entered a great era of rapid development, which seemed to be called the Gilded Age.

One of the major factors that the American Civil War was completely changed in history is the trench war invented by Li Mengyang!

This is beyond words. Because of the trenches, with the current weapon situation, all the two sides can do is to hold on to each other. In fact, the same is true in the original history. The reason why the United States and the South lost in the original history was actually because the economic collapse of the south of the south.

Now, the American Empire has transfusions of blood to the South, or in other words, everyone has carried out effective commercial circulation, which has kept the South forever.

However, if we study the overall situation of the United States, we can make such a judgment. Although the south can hold on now, it is definitely in a precarious state!

It is said that the turning point of the American Civil War was in Gettysburg, but in fact, if we look at it now, the strategic turning point is actually Atlanta!

Atlanta is very interesting. It is east of Mount Alabachia. It is a city on the high ground, and it is actually the western sub-district of the south. If it is lost, then the southern United States will have a wide open door and there is nothing to stop the Yankees!

The same is true in history. When Atlanta was conquered, the Yankees burned, killed and looted all the way to Richmond. In fact, before Robert Lee, the Southern government had already surrendered. Robert Lee led the remnants to rush north again, hoping to use the last little force to turn the tables, but unfortunately, the situation was already out of reach at that time.

In other words, the real war ended in 1864!

Therefore, Atlanta is extremely important. Li Mengyang didn't have much experience when reading books, but he realized this when he came to this era in person.

This place also developed very well later. Li Mengyang remembers that the city will be the location of many large American companies in the future. The reason for this is actually because Atlanta's geographical location is too superior.

This is a major transportation hub between the north and the south!

It turned out that there were two main railway lines passing through here, but now, of course, only one is left, but this one is really called a lifeline. Robert Li also understood it. He sent tens of thousands of soldiers to build trenches along this railway line!

Of course, it is not necessary to completely wrap this railway line with trenches. After all, there are other cities that can defend, but this can also show the importance of this place and it must not be lost!

Therefore, Li Mengyang cannot let the mortar be learned by the Americans. Maybe the Americans will make it by themselves through the mortar system, but I, Li Mengyang, must not make this mistake. The market is not needed, and the money is not needed!

If the mortars shatter the trench defense line, then Atlanta will definitely be lost. The loss of Atlanta means the collapse of the south. The south of the United States is over and the United States will no longer fight a civil war. So what will happen?

How simple it is, of course, you are going all out to deal with the new American Empire!

This is the whole logical relationship. If all this happens, can the American Empire deal with the entire United States of America?

Li Mengyang is not an innocent child. He knows that the current balance of power between the Empire and the United States is that even if the newly built Empire Second Steel Plant's annual steel output theory can exceed 1 million tons, he also knows that the current strength of the Empire is not a match for the United States!

The population of others is more than ten times that of ours, and the degree of industrial development is not much higher than that of others. It is because of a high sky and a far away emperor. Therefore, if the north really defeats the south, then the United States of America will immediately deal with our American Empire!

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be allowed to happen, but Li Mengyang now feels...

Atlanta is really very, very dangerous!

Because there is that passage, Eleanor wrote, why don’t the soldiers in the south surrender?

They cannot surrender, they are afraid of being treated cruelly!

Of course, what is said in the article is firm and unyielding, but Li Mengyang noticed some unintentional parts written by Eleanor. Maybe it was written inadvertently, but this is the real situation.

Atlanta is already a city that needs to be the last one to defend with its will!

News emphasizes truth, and truth is the first principle, but if news is seen and accepted, it needs to have a certain storyline. It should be said that in this article, Eleanor has played a good role in both authenticity and storyline.

From this point of view, Li Mengyang really knows Eleanor very well and his heart...

When Li Mengyang thought of this, he couldn't help but look around... The most guilty thing was that he was afraid of those three wives... In fact, they were all fighting landlords in the palace in San Francisco. Li Mengyang was definitely a subconscious action!

Then Atlanta is already so critical, and if things are allowed to develop, the American Empire will also have a huge crisis. What should we do now?

Li Mengyang, holding the newspaper, couldn't help but say to himself: "It seems that he is going to do a big deal."

"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Lelan Stanford next to him actually heard it, but what exactly were you doing?

"The emperor's biological father! What are you going to do? If you don't have to take action, just say, I'll go and fuck him!" Zhou Xiaoshan was also eager to try.

"..." Li Mengyang couldn't help but sweat a little on his forehead. His son was simply...

Forget it, they also had good intentions, but it seems that they can't escape this battle.

Then Li Mengyang is this? Is he going to fight the United States of America?!

Isn't it said that the strength is not enough?

Yes, but you have to know that if the American Civil War is over, the strength will be even worse!

So, just do it all the time!

"Let's go, let's go back to San Francisco and have a meeting." Li Mengyang's simple words would inevitably lead to a bloody storm in the future... (To be continued...)
