Guan Zhuofan went to great lengths to write this thing, not because he wanted to cheer up Lincoln, but because his original purpose was to increase the weight of himself and Xuanjun in the eyes of the Americans—but this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was to make sure that he was taken out of the Eastern Front and put on the Western Front.

At that time, the battlefield on the Eastern Front had become a mill of flesh and blood, and the mode of war was basically to fill in the heads, one head for another, or even two heads for one head -- there were many people in the north anyway. If these 27,000 people are not careful, they will be gone, and it will be too internationalistic. War casualties are inevitable, but it is not easy for the Xuan army to replenish the supply of troops, and the battle must be fought skillfully, after all, it is not enough to do one's best for the American people and die for oneself.

Also, if you go to the East Front, you have to face the greatest military genius in American history, Robert Brown. Li, no matter how familiar Guan Zhuofan is with the history book and how many plug-ins he opens, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Li is the best at improvising, Xiaoguan is very worried that he can't cope with it, and he really responded to the sentence he said to Cixi, "I don't know if I can still do things for the country." Guan Zhuofan decided that it was better not to meet Li, a character who was already suspected of cheating, so early.

The Western Front is a vast world, and there is a lot to be done.

He planned painstakingly, and finally got what he wanted, and the Songjiang Corps was included in the Western Front Theater sequence and participated in the Battle of Tennessee.

This "New York Tribune", this "Interview with the Marquis of Guan Yixuan", Guan Zhuofan read it in a little more detail, and found that although it was written on the basis of his "Eight Strategies for Pingnan", there were still quite large discrepancies.

First, it involved military deployment, and all of them were deleted, and Marquis Guan only said vaguely. The Eastern Front played well. The Western Front should also be strengthened.

Second, the emphasis is clearly placed on Marquis Guan's belief that "the scale of war is a process from small to large" and that "arduous investment is about to enter the harvest season", and so on. The central idea is: the enemy is cunning, but the government is strong, step-by-step, steady, and everything is under control.

In addition, the Marquis Guan repeatedly expressed his absolute confidence in the victory of the federal government. The reporter asked His Excellency the Marquis, how long do you think the war will last? Marquis Guan said angrily: No more than a year.

Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, I didn't write this sentence in the proposal. How dare you say it?

This is a public relations advertorial of the federal government, but Kwan admits that it works very well.

In fact, the concept that foreign monks are more proficient in chanting scriptures can be found everywhere, and it is not unique in China. And the Americans of this era are far from the Americans of a hundred and more decades later, and the eyes are still far from the top of their heads. The most important thing is that this foreign monk is not standing on the river bank and talking dry, if people have no confidence in the victory of the federal government, how can they bring troops all the way to help us fight?

Guan Zhuofan raised his head and said with a smile: "It's so well written, I can't wait to get to know this reporter." ”

Lincoln Hahadaxiao: "Harles is probably the toughest reporter in the whole of Shijie, and I've been interviewed a little less often. I feel like I'm going to be a little bit healthier...... But he's sure to be your admirer. ”

Lincoln put away his laughter and said solemnly, "Yixuan." Thank you for your understanding, this report is worthy of two legions. ”

Kwan Zhuofan's accommodation was arranged in the "Queen's Bedroom" opposite Lincoln's bedroom, and the "Lincoln Bedroom" was separated by an east sitting hall. The house later housed the Queen of England and the Queen of the Netherlands, hence its name. At this time, Guan Zhuofan thought, why don't you name it "Yixuan Zhai"?

Lincoln himself led him into the room, decorated in rose and white, beautiful and elegant, with a large four-poster bed in the middle. This house is much more luxurious than the "Lincoln Bedroom".

Lincoln said very sincerely: "Yixuan, this meeting was arranged too hastily, when you come back from the Western Front, I will definitely invite you and your wife to come over as guests." ”

Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness, but I didn't bring my wife to the United States.

"Yixuan, I understand your marriage system," Lincoln smiled slightly, "I heard that there is a beautiful girl by your side. ”

The institution of marriage? Guan Zhuofan was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Lin Dabeard regarded Wan'er as his concubine.

Lincoln continued to laugh, "Of course, this is not for Mary to hear. He paused, "It's better not to let God hear." ”

After saying goodnight to each other, Lincoln resigned, and Guan Zhuofan stood alone in the big room in a daze: I didn't deny it, Wan'er is not mine...... Madam?

He took a hot bath and rubbed his skin off. Then go to bed. Countless thoughts swirled around in my head, but he was a tired man after all, let me get a good night's sleep, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow.

Before falling into the dark sweet, I thought vaguely: I have been on this bed, the Queen of England and the Queen of the Netherlands, I will do the math, how old are the two of them this year......

In the middle of the night, the Queen of England really went to his bed.

It's just that this queen was born a little similar to Yang Wan'er, blushing and wringing her hands with her head down. Guan Zhuofan tried his best, but he couldn't untie her clothes no matter what, so he was burned with lust, so he waited to use it, and suddenly turned his head and found that the Queen of the Netherlands was also sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him with a smile, and said softly: "It's torn, and I'll never cook for you again in the future." ”

Guan Zhuofan woke up in shock, staring at the ceiling, his heart pounding.

Outside the window, the twilight was faint.

After getting up and washing, he said goodbye to the owner of the White House too early, and Guan Zhuofan embarked on his return journey.

After returning to New York, before leaving for Chattanooga, there are two things to do, one is to receive weapons and equipment provided by the United States government, and the other is to change the uniform, that is, to change the military uniform of the United States federal government army.

The carriage galloped southeast on Massachusetts Street, facing the cold morning breeze and the rising sun, Guan Zhuofan felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

As a Chinese, he crossed the ocean and traveled thousands of miles to the plane, so why did he come?

Of course, it is necessary to train an army that has experienced the baptism of modern warfare, and when they are cut off from all ties with the country, the object of allegiance of this army can only be themselves.

As for objectively helping Lincoln maintain the unity of the United States, it is not a bad thing. After all, whether it comes or not, the United States will eventually be unified. Standing on the side of the victor is the only way for historical speculators, and in the final analysis, only a unified United States can have Liliang as China's strong reinforcement, balance Britain and France for us, and buy precious time and space for its own Jihua.

As for the possible direct conflict between China and the United States, it is still in the distant future.

In this time and space, the situation in East and Southeast Asia should perhaps be dominated by China, just as China will recognize South America as the backyard of the United States. Sooner or later, China will have to be strong enough to rebuild some kind of order in East and Southeast Asia -- some kind of peaceful order under China's might. In this way, the Americans, far away from the ocean, may not be coveted again.

If the Americans really have more ideas by then, China must have Liliang to dispel these misconceptions.

For example, in this time and space, no matter what happens to the United States and Spain, sorry, the Philippines will not be American.

I hope the Pacific Ocean is really big enough to accommodate the two giants on the east and west coasts at the same time.

As for Lincoln, Kwan admitted that he had a good impression of him.

When shaking hands with Lincoln, Lincoln only maintained a polite strength, but Guan Zhuofan could feel the liliang of this tall and thin man. This liliang came from the fact that he was indeed strong in his muscles and bones—the long hours of physical labor in his teenage years gave Lincoln a strong physique; It also stems from the inner strength and self-confidence of this person.

Kwan discovered that great historical figures have one thing in common: a high level of confidence in themselves and the careers they are engaged in.

I have a kinship to my heart.

Guan Zhuofan knows the ending of Lincoln Zuihou, and is confident that because of his involvement, the historical trend of the American Civil War will change significantly, so will this change change Lincoln's fate?

Or do you want to take the initiative to intervene and change Lincoln's fate?

If you do this, what do you gain and what do you lose?

Washington was already noisy, and Guan Zhuofan could feel the unspeakable restlessness in this young country, as vigorous and ambitious as the newborn sun.

And his own country is at sunset.

Well, he silently said in his heart, now that I am here, the sun must rise again.

Before you know it, the sun is shining outside the car.
