McClellan advocated peace and was willing to abolish the abolition proclamation, which was very much embraced by moderates who were anti-war and not anti-slavery. In addition, he ostensibly supported reunification and opposed separatism, and held high-ranking positions in military circles for a long time, and he was also a candidate who could be grudgingly accepted by the main battle faction and the soldiers.

And Lincoln, the battle was fought like this, whether it was anti-war or pro-war, moderate or radical, they all looked at him unpleasantly and wanted to replace him.

Lincoln's advisers strongly advised him to use the war as an excuse to postpone the election, with a high-sounding and ironic reasoning: There is no unity in the country, and now that the general election is held, who will represent the interests of the Southerners?

But this must have been to quench thirst by drinking, and, most likely, before the thirst was stopped, he poisoned himself first.

Because if you do this, before the South can take it back, the North may be divided first, and in that case, the United States of America really does not exist.

The electoral process was extremely ugly. Political opponents even pointed the finger at Mary. Lincoln. Mary's four brothers and three brothers-in-law were in the Confederate army, and three of them were killed in battle. Accusations that the first lady was a Southern spy led to the president's personal testimony before the Senate Commission of Inquiry that his wife was an absolute patriot.

The newspaper described Lincoln as "he was packing up and getting ready to go back home." ”

The South rejoiced, and Confederate Vice President Alexander. "McClellan's nomination for the presidency is the first real light since the outbreak of the Civil War," Stevenson said. ”

In the headquarters of the Left Route Army, Guan Zhuofan and Sherman both had gloomy faces.

For the first time, Guan Zhuofan felt real nervousness, and for the first time, he felt that his hard work might turn into a threat.

A staff officer brought by Sherman suggested that the deployment of the whole army be adjusted. Find one of the weakest points of Atlanta's defenses. Gather the full strength of the left and right armies. Hit it from this point.

Guan Zhuofan glanced at this staff officer in disgust: This is also called a staff officer?

The number of hundreds of thousands of troops is too large for a "point" to be unleashed, and such a fight can only become fuel, except for sending people to the southern army, there is no meaning.

Moreover, weakness is relative, and the pace of confederate troop movements in the Atlanta city is not slow. There is a gap, and it can be filled in time.

Unless the Northern Army has the ability to transfer all of Atlanta's Southern Army to the east of the city, and then enter from the west of the city.

This is of course impossible.

Or should we find a way to take Jonesboro and cut off the Macon Railroad south of Atlanta.

Jonesboro was taken, the Macon railroad was broken, and East Point was locked up with Atlanta, even if East Point was still in the hands of the Confederate army, only a small branch line through Montgomery, Alabama, was not enough to support the entire Atlanta army supply. The supplies were cut off, and the northern army did not fight. It won't be long before the Yugoslavs themselves have to run away.

The Confederate army now has a heavy garrison in Jonesboro, and the main commander is Hadi, Hood's deputy. With the northern army moving south. Most of the main forces of the Southern Army have moved to the south of the city and can support them at any time.

At this moment, the guards came to report that someone had asked to see Commander-in-Chief Guan.

The person who came was something Guan Zhuofan could never have imagined again: Mia. Arendt.

There have been some strange movements in the Northern Army these days, and the situation has come to Hood, and the brave Kentuckians have frowned.

There were movements of the Northern Army on both the east and west wings, but instead of going south, the east wing was transferred to the east, and the west wing was transferred to the west, and I don't know where it was going to go.

North of Atlanta appeared the Northern Army—not those who had been "gatekeepers" north of the city, and it didn't appear to have come from the direction of Chattanooga. These Northern armies did not enter the position, but just wandered far north of Atlanta.

According to the analysis of intelligence officers, there should have been troops among them that had previously been transferred from the east and west flanks.

If the intelligence is correct, these northern armies have gone around in a big circle and are behind the friendly forces.

It's too strange, if you just want to strengthen the defense of the northern front Liliang, there is no need to make such a detour, the northern half of the east and west flanks, the southern army has no Liliang to pose a direct threat to the northern army outside the city.

What are they trying to do so sneakily?

South of Atlanta, the Northerners' harassment and attacks along the Jonesborough line continued with frequency, but the defenders had a sense that the Northerners seemed to be beginning to weaken.

The brave Kentuckian's brow gradually relaxed, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Commander-in-Chief Guan came to visit Willy again. Mr. Hill.

Jacqueline. Ma Dan watched his cousin-in-law welcome Guan Zhuofan into the mansion upstairs, pursed his lips and smiled, thinking to himself, his body was completely "clean" yesterday, and he came over today, but he will count the days. But he was really thinking about him, and he naturally felt a joy in his heart, his eyebrows and eyes couldn't help but bring spring, and his body warmed up slightly.

Entering the boudoir, this time Commander-in-Chief Guan was not as anxious as before, so he waited for Mia to serve tea, exited the room, and then picked up the tea and tasted it slowly.

Jacqueline was slightly surprised: What's the matter, it's changed sex?

Guan Zhuofan spoke: "Jacqueline, there is one thing that I have never asked you. Hmm, how did your husband get around? ”

Jacqueline was stunned, Mr. Ma Dan is a topic that she and Guan Zhuofan have been deliberately avoiding at the same time, what is going on today?

She felt faintly uneasy in her heart and said, "He died of measles." ”

Guan Zhuofan said slowly: "Using measles as a means of suicide? This...... It's too complicated. ”

Jacqueline shuddered, and her face turned pale.

Guan Zhuofan stared at her.

Jacqueline's whole body trembled, and she was already incoherent: "Yixuan, I, I never wanted to hurt you......"

Tears streamed down her green eyes.

She took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Later, later, I didn't even want to inquire about your affairs, your work, military or something, I, I didn't ask a word......

It's true, but it's still incoherent.

She suddenly said, "Yixuan, you, will you hang me?" ”

Guan Zhuofan felt a slight pain in his heart, sighed, and said softly: "Of course not." You crappy spy - you can't be a spy, you can only be my lover. ”

Jacqueline burst into tears.

Jacqueline. Madan is a Confederacy spy, Mia. Arendt was also a Confederacy spy.

That day, Mia begged to see Guan Zhuofan and told the matter as it was.

There are people who are addicted to gambling, but not Mr. Arendt, but Mr. Madan.

As Jacqueline described, "in a gamble he lost everything, the gold, the house, the horses", and, his own wife. Of course, this "he" is Mr. Madan.

Mr. Martin committed suicide, and Jacqueline was caught by his creditors. The creditors were not very vicious to her, but they made a strange condition: if she was willing to serve the government, then her debts could be forgiven as appropriate.

Otherwise, sell her to a brothel.

In fact, it's a set.

Confederate intelligence agents recently set their sights on Jacqueline. Madan because her cousin-in-law is Willy. Hill.

Willie. Hill's pro-federal stance was not as good as he thought he might have been. It's just that the Confederacy's secret services didn't catch him directly, Willie. Hill has a good relationship with the local government in Atlanta, and it is difficult to move him without strong evidence.

But one thing is certain for the intelligence department, if the Northern army is under the city of Atlanta, this guy will definitely be the first to throw himself into the arms of the North.

However, the agents attacked Jacqueline, and it was not Willy who had to deal with it. Hill - He's not that important, their target is Guan Zhuofan.

Willie. Hill is a bridge to Kwan Zhuofan.

The Xuan army Chattanooga, the Chinese army and its commander, attracted the attention of the whole Confederacy. After analysis, the intelligence department believed that Guan Zhuofan was a womanizer -- he accompanied the army with a beautiful concubine, and he should be able to write about being a beautiful woman on him.

However, it is not an easy thing to approach Guan Zhuofan, and the security personnel of the Northern Army will definitely maintain a high degree of vigilance against a beautiful woman who has no background.

The Xuan army went south, and it was difficult to do any tricks on the road, and the intelligence department of the Southern army put its energy on Atlanta.

Willie. Since Hill would be the first party to jump out of Atlanta, it would be fitting for him to unknowingly act as the "source".

Jacqueline. Since Martin is Willy. Hill's wife and sister, and she is as beautiful as a flower, so she is the first choice for "a beautiful woman with a 'background'".

The wonderful thing is that she also has a husband who is addicted to gambling.
