"What did you say?!"

In the tent of the generals of the United States army, Sherman threw his whip off in anger!

Just now, Colonel Greg came to report that the United States' navy had just cleaned up the merchant ships on the Mississippi River, and they found that the merchant ships were transporting supplies to the American Empire troops in Vicksburg.

This news really annoyed Sherman because he really didn't expect that those merchant ships were doing this, and the most important thing was that those merchant ships were just under his nose, and he didn't even deal with them!

In fact, Sherman was too anxious. He led his army to the waterway, hoping to occupy Vicksburg before the Imperial Army. Therefore, he came from New Orleans and headed north. As soon as he arrived south of Vicksburg, he ordered his subordinates to land.

It should be said that such a command is not wrong at all. You must know that these are 20,000 people, all on the boat. If you ask them to come down and form a formation and then do some miscellaneous things, this is a waste of time. Now, time is the priority, so of course you will not care about the matter on the river. You must first occupy Vicksburg.

But unexpectedly, the opponent arrived first, and the subsequent attacks were all covered in dust. Sherman only remembered what was happening on the river at this time, that is, the merchant ships were having a lot of exchanges.

After checking, hehe, they were all transporting supplies for the empire. What made Sherman even more angry was that those guys who were doing business, that is, those who were doing business, were all citizens of the United States of America!

Well, although some of them are the original southerners, but there are also many northerners. These guys really don’t care about anything for money!

This made Sherman angry. Really, he even wanted to point his troops at the citizens of the United States.

But this kind of thing cannot be done. This area is already the territory of the United States and has been taken back. So it is impossible to say that killing the people of oneself is to be killed.

However, soon Greg told me another news that Sherman wanted to slap himself a few times.

"General! Some people say that the emperor of the American Empire..."

Before Greg finished speaking, Sherman immediately shouted, "That's a yellow-skinned monkey!"

Yes, you must not call that guy a nice name at this time, absolutely not!

"Yes!" Greg immediately continued: "That yellow-skinned monkey may be in Vicksburg now!"

"What?!"

This news is so exciting!

When she heard the news, Sherman's eyes were glaring as if he wanted to eat people, because if this was true, then what had he missed before?

Although most of the ships I brought were troop transporters, there were warships. If I could fire two guns at that time... I would still be merciful!

However, this matter needs to be determined first.

"Col. Greg, is this true? We must confirm the news!"

Yes, although we call that emperor Huangshang Monkey, he is also an emperor. If he could kill that emperor in Vicksburg, what a great merit would this be?

In that case, the entire war will almost end, and California will return to the territory of the nations. Since the South does not have California supplies, they will not last long. What’s more interesting is that the current empire still has Mexico!

This is simply a merit given by God!

"General! We are not completely sure, but some citizens of the United States said that they saw the emperor, oh, it was a yellow monkey. He was sent to Vicksburg by a ship, and they saw it with their own eyes." Greg was a little scared at this time, because Sherman's eyes were so scary!

"See it with your own eyes? That..." Sherman wanted to find a witness.

But Greg is very careful, "General, I have brought people."

"Hmm? OK!" Sherman was immediately happy.

Soon, Greg brought in a man from outside. The man was a woman, a woman with a somewhat beautiful appearance but also looked very fierce.

"Who are you……"

"Who are you?"

Unexpectedly, the woman actually asked Sherman first.

"Ha!" Sherman smiled, but he didn't say anything.

"You village woman! Standing in front of you is the supreme commander of the Western Army of the United States, Major General Sherman!" Greg naturally wanted to speak for Sherman. This was an inevitable habit and a style that Sherman should have.

"Oh, general, then, what do you want me to say first?" the woman said bluntly.

"First of all, what's your name?" Sherman asked what he should ask.

"Nancy!" That's right, the woman in front of me is Nancy, the guy who likes to cheat when fighting with men.

"Oh, Miss Nancy, OK, let's get to the point, did you see the yellow monkey entering Vicksburg with your own eyes?" Sherman asked, and he naturally wanted to use such insulting words, but.

"What yellow-skinned monkey?" Nancy didn't know what Sherman was asking.

"Okay, it's the emperor of that empire." Sherman had no choice but to say that, and there was no way.

"Oh, you talk about him. That guy is not a yellow-skinned monkey. On the contrary, he is much handsomer than you and much younger than you." Nancy is a woman after all, and she still likes to talk about men.

"Don't talk about those useless things, let's get to the point. Are you really sure that the emperor is in Vicksburg?" This question is really full of twists and turns.

"Of course! Of course I'm sure!" Nancy's tone seemed to be talking about something very ordinary.

"Why are you so sure?"

Yes, this is the key. You, Nancy, are just an ordinary citizen of the United States. How could you know the emperor of the American Empire?

"Of course I'm sure! I'm very sure! I can swear to God that the emperor has entered Vicksburg!" Nancy actually swears!

why is that?

Yes, Sherman and Greg both wanted to know, and Nancy could explain it easily.

"I know that guy. I have washed his clothes for him. His clothes are obviously different from others. Moreover, other soldiers respect him very much. He is the emperor..." In fact, it was because Nancy served the emperor of the empire!

So...yes, in the end, Nancy succumbed to the US dollar.

Our Sister Nancy can't say that she is so philanthropic, so she speaks a little bit, but Sherman and Greg still understand!

"Great!" Greg shouted out first, because the merits were right in front of him.

"..." Sherman didn't say anything until a long time ago, "bring Miss Nancy down first."

"yes-private!" Greg knew that she was going to think about it.

So, what would Sherman think?

In fact, it didn't take long before Sherman immediately called his messenger.

"Send a message! Send a message to General Grant! Just say we need support! We need support from the entire United States Army and the Navy! We besieged the emperor of the American Empire in Vicksburg! That tyrant! That yellow-skinned monkey! We need to destroy that tyrant here!"

Sherman's words made his messenger feel extremely excited, because it seemed that we could end the war soon.

Soon, the telegram reached Ulysses Grant's hands, and after reading it, he fell into deep thought!

After contemplating, Grant also called his messenger. "Send a newspaper to Washington! Say we need all support!"

support?

Yes, even support, Grant also discovered the key. He knew the importance of this battle that will resurrect in Vicksburg. This will affect the trend of the entire war and even the entire history!

So the entire US Army began to move, and the United States Navy, at least in this area of ​​the Gulf of Mexico, all those who can enter the Mississippi River were moved. Any ships that can come to Vicksburg and any armed ships are moving!

There is only one goal, that is Vicksburg!

Grant received the greatest support, Washington trusted him completely, and Washington also saw this benefit, that the tyrant was in Vicksburg, and he was caught, or killed him, and the war was over and everything was over.

So how is the specific support done?

Grant himself led a 100,000 army, and he could not move. He also wanted to attack Atlanta. However, this time he temporarily let go of his selfishness. He gave Lincoln advice, which was to send General Mead!

George Gordon Mead, commander-in-chief of the Topomac Legion, and his most brilliant achievement was defeating Robert Lee in Gettysburg!

Yes, he fought the Battle of Gettysburg, but!

Gettysburg is generally considered a turning point in the American Civil War, that is, General Mead has made outstanding contributions, but now the entire US Army has the final say.

You know, almost at the same time as Gettysburg, Grant also won Vicksburg. In fact, in a strategic sense, Vicksburg's victory was even more critical, because in this way, the south was cut off and the supplies from the west could not be transported to the east.

So, to be honest, Grant made great contributions, but the South has not been completely isolated, that is, Florida in the south is still doing business, so Grant's achievements are not significant enough.

The current commander must be one, and no more can be sent out. Therefore, whether it is public or private, Grant must exclude General Mead, but this time.

That's right, Grant really made his best. He did almost everything he could do, and he tried hard! (To be continued...)

PS: Black Car sincerely thanks everyone for their support! Thank you very much!
