Holy Roman Empire

The plan will never catch up with the rapid changes. The American Civil War, which was supposed to end soon, was still deadlocked by 1864.

Hundreds of thousands of military-level battles cannot be completed in a day or two.Both the North and the South can't afford to lose the war, and the commanders on both sides are old-fashioned masters, and the battle directly becomes a battle of attrition.

The southern army is slightly stronger, but the northern army has more people.On the front line of more than 100 kilometers, the two sides fought many times, but the result was a win and a loss. Overall, it was still half a catty.

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

In New York, looking at the telegram in his hand, President Lincoln was about to collapse.This has been the Nth request for reinforcements. Since the start of the decisive battle, he will receive three or four telegrams of assistance every week.

Who would say it again: Use the powerful national strength to fight the attrition with the other party, and drag the rebels.Lincoln will definitely go up and smoke him a few big ear scrapers.

Industrial advantages. After the support of the great powers, does the North really have industrial advantages?

The rebel industry in the south has limited manufacturing capacity. Can't they still buy it?

Now the northern government cannot block the southern port. The navies of the two sides have fought many battles, and the northern navy still cannot win.

The economic advantage is even more nonsense.Really think that the capitalists are all patriots, can they dedicate themselves to the country?

Class interests are not equal to personal interests, and making money is the first priority.As long as he earns himself, who cares whether the United States will split?

Capital without borders is not a joke, but a real existence.As long as they make money, even if they leave the United States, they can still be very moist.

On the contrary, selfless dedication to support the federal government won the war, and finally it was time to divide up the spoils: sorry, this is an era of speaking with strength.

Although the northern government has a larger economy, but the wealth that can actually be mobilized, the southern government is not much worse than them.

At least the cotton bonds in the south are more popular in the international capital market than the war bonds in the north.In order to support the southern government, Anglo-French Océ received many bonds from the southern government.

The turn of the northern government is different, either with foreign exchange payments, or with gold and silver.What is the dollar, don't everyone know?

The final tragedy found that the real advantage of the northern government is that it has a large number of people and can compete with the southern government.

However, this advantage is not without limits. If the loss is too heavy, the war-weariness among the people will rise.

Since the beginning of the Great Decisive Battle, on the battlefield on average, the northern government forces have lost a regiment of troops every day, and it has become the daily work of President Lincoln to deal with the frontline request for assistance.

President Lincoln asked haggardly, "My Minister of War, please tell me how long this battle will last?"

The Minister of War Semon Kamelian thought for a while and said, "Sorry, the question of His Excellency the President is only known to God. I only know that I can't take risks now, and the federal government will not lose this time."

Secretary of State Safar added: "So can the casualties be lowered? According to the current loss rate, it is estimated that the rebels have been suppressed and the United States has no future."

Because of the butterfly effect of Franz, just after the war broke out, a large number of weapons and equipment were sold to the belligerent north and south governments, and the speed of expansion of both sides exceeded the historical period.

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

The sequelae are the casualties on both sides, which surpassed the historical period.A large number of youthful losses have threatened the rule of the federal government.

War Minister Semon Kamel explained: "We have not pursued the counties of the state governments with criminals, hooligans, 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 white soldiers has been reduced."

Lincoln immediately interrupted: "Sir, don't say this kind of words, all are federal soldiers, don't you understand the ethnicity!"

Some things can be done, but they cannot be said.Politically correct, the United States also appeared in this era.

...

The country is full, and President Jefferson Davis is facing the same problem. The cruel casualties have exhausted 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 labors from the African continent are not easy to use, and they must undergo rigorous training to become a qualified labor force.

If the northern government is willing to compromise, he does not mind stopping the war immediately.Continue to fight, the southern government with insufficient manpower, it is difficult to beat the northern government.

Of course, they are not afraid of the northern government. If the bloody battle is to the end, it can still be done by dragging the northern government together.At least they think they can do it.

In less than four years, the total population of the United States has fallen by 5% because of the Civil War, which is still based on the influx of Asians and blacks.

The northern government spans the east and the west, occupying the cheaper cost of receiving Asian immigrants, while the southern government receives mostly African immigrants because of its geographic location.

There are currently at least 400,000 black soldiers in active service, fighting for the southern government. The total number of black soldiers who have been killed has exceeded 250,000.

In order to encourage slave owners to bring black slave soldiers to the battlefield, the federal government also paid double compensation. After all, well-trained black slaves are excellent cannon fodder, and the black workers who have just arrived are still reckless.

In order to encourage the morale of black soldiers, with the insistence of Robert Lee, the Confederate government lifted the slaves of black slaves.Huge rewards are also offered, for example: every time two enemy soldiers are killed, a black slave or equivalent wealth is awarded.

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

President Jefferson Davis asked with concern: "Mr. Robert, did the British promise to send troops to interfere?"

The snake can't do without a head. As the most powerful John Bull in the interference alliance, he deservedly became the leader of the alliance.

The stalemate between the North and the South is now a good time for interference.As soon as the intervention coalition appeared, it immediately broke the balance of power between the two sides.

Even one of these countries can become the last straw to overwhelm the camel, breaking the balance of power between the North and the South.

Secretary of State Robert frowned and said, "The British still want to watch us kill each other. The war is now fought, and there is no winner.

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

Even if we won this battle, we did not continue to expand our ability in a short period of time, and the northern government was not much better, and everyone could not fight it."

Vice President Alexander objected: "I am afraid this is not necessarily the case. The greatest effect of the battle is on the morale of the military, not just the number of casualties.

No matter how heavy the casualties are, as a victor, there are at least hundreds of thousands of mobile troops. As long as the morale of the army is strong, continuous combat can be sustained.

At that time, the losers can only rely on interfering with the coalition forces.They can get the most benefit when they are shot in times of crisis."

This is a fact. An army with strong morale can often defeat an army with several times more morale.After the end of this conference war, hundreds of thousands of troops have been able to influence the outcome of this civil war.

However, this does not threaten to interfere with the coalition forces. With more than 200,000 vital forces joining, the situation on the battlefield can be reversed in an instant.For the sake of greater interests, the British are naturally willing to equalize their wins and losses.

This is the difference between reality and theory.Theoretically, the total strength of the northern government is 2 million, the southern government has a total strength of more than 1 million, and interference in the coalition of more than 200,000 will not play a major role.

In fact, the total strength is not equal to the strength that can be put into combat. The first thing that each state must guarantee is its own safety, not all of it.

Second, there are combat forces.Taking the northern government as an example, if half of the more than two million troops are the main force, then you can crush the south two or three times.

In fact, let's not say that half of the main force, one-tenth of the main force are not. Except for those hundreds of thousands of troops that are more capable of fighting, the rest are all together.

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

Historically, it was often the scale of engagement of tens of thousands that determined the victory of both the North and the South.If both sides are seeking stability, they will not be willing to invest in the elite troops stud, nor will there be such a large-scale battle.

After being silent for a while, Jefferson Davis said: "Secret contact with the northern government to explain the situation to them. If you don't want the British to pick up the bargain, admit our independence and end the war."

Secretary of State Robert shook his head and said: "It is estimated that there is no hope. We negotiated privately and we can indeed minimize the loss, but the politicians of the northern government cannot afford this responsibility.

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

This is a real problem. The selfless people are always a minority.Historically, after the southern government was at a disadvantage, have they not been traitors for their own benefit?

Expect the northern governments to be selfless patriots, which is not much higher than the chance of winning the lottery.

Under the forceful intervention of the great powers, the federal government was split, and politicians could dump the pot.

European powers were strong in this era, and the failure was not because they were incompetent, but because the enemy was too powerful, and it was a crime of non-war.
