"What did you say?!"

In the tent of the general camp of the United States Army, Sherman angrily threw off his horsewhip!

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 had discovered that they were carrying supplies to the Imperial American Army in Vicksburg.

This news really annoyed Sherman, because he really didn't expect that those merchant ships would do this, and the most important thing is that those merchant ships were right under their noses, and they didn't even clean them up!

Actually, Sherman was in too much of a hurry. He led his army by water, hoping to occupy Vicksburg before the Imperial army, so he ordered his men to land as soon as he reached the south of Vicksburg from New Orleans and headed north.

It should be said that there is nothing wrong with such an order, you know, this is 20,000 people, all on the ship, you let them come down and set up a formation, and then do some miscellaneous things, this is a great delay in time, and now that time is important, of course, I will not care about the things on the river, and it is important to occupy Vicksburg first.

But unexpectedly, the opponent arrived first, and the next few attacks, all of which were disgraced, Sherman only remembered what happened on the river at this time, that is, those merchant ships came and went a lot.

As a result, when I checked, hehe, they were all sending supplies for that empire, and what made Sherman even more angry was that those guys who operated the ship, that is, those who did business, they were all citizens of the United States of America!

Well, although it is said that there are parts of the original Southerners. But there are also a lot of northerners. These guys are in it for the money. I really don't care about anything!

This could not but make Sherman angry, really, he even wanted to turn the guns of his troops at the citizens of the United States.

But however, this kind of thing cannot be done, this area is already the territory of the United States, and it has been taken back, so it is unjustifiable to kill its own people.

But. Soon Greg said another piece of news that made Sherman want to give him a few strokes.

"General! It has been said that the emperor of the American Empire ......"

Before Greg could finish speaking, Sherman immediately burst into a shout, "That's a yellow-skinned monkey!" ”

Yes, you can't call that guy anything nice at this time, absolutely not!

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

"What?!"

This news is so exciting!

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

Bring your own boat. Although most of them are troop carriers, there are also warships. If only two shots could have been fired at that time...... I'm still soft-hearted!

However, this matter still needs to be confirmed first.

"Colonel Greg, is this true? We have to confirm the news! ”

That's right, although we call that emperor the yellow-skinned monkey, he is also an emperor, if you can kill that emperor in Vicksburg, what a great feat?

In that case, the whole war will almost be over, California will revert to the territory of the nations, and the south will not be able to last long because there is no material from California, and what is more interesting is that the current empire still has Mexico!

This is a godsend!

"General! We can't be entirely sure, but there are citizens of the United States, who say they saw the Emperor, oh, the yellow-skinned monkey, who was taken by ship into Vicksburg, 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? The ...... "Sherman wanted to get a witness."

But Greg was very thoughtful, "General, I've already brought people. ”

"Huh? All right! Sherman was immediately pleased.

Soon, Greg brought in a man from outside, a woman, a woman who was a little pretentious, but also very fierce.

"You ......"

"Who are you?"

Unexpectedly, the woman actually asked Sherman first.

"Hah!" Sherman smiled, but he didn't speak.

"You village woman! Standing in front of you is the Supreme Commander of the Western Army of the United States, Major General Sherman! Naturally, Greg was going to speak for Sherman, which was an inevitable habit and the style Sherman should have.

"Oh, General, well, what do you want me to say first?" The woman said a little unceremoniously.

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

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

"Oh, Miss Nancy, well, let's get down to business, you saw that yellow-skinned monkey enter Vicksburg?" Sherman asked this remark, and he naturally wanted to use such insulting words, but.

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

"Well, it's the emperor of that empire." Sherman had no choice but to say so, no problem.

"Oh, you said him. That guy isn't some yellow-skinned monkey, on the contrary, he's much more handsome than you, and he's much younger than you. "Nancy is a woman after all, and she still likes to judge men.

"Don't talk about those useless, 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 was as if she were saying something very ordinary.

"Why are you so sure?"

Yes, that's the point, you, Nancy, are just an ordinary United States citizen, how could you possibly know the emperor of the American Empire?

"Of course I'm sure! I'm absolutely sure! I can swear to God, that emperor just entered Vicksburg! "Nancy swore an oath!

Why is that?

Yes, both Sherman and Greg wanted to know, and Nancy easily explained.

"I know that guy, I washed his clothes, his clothes are obviously different from other people's, and the other soldiers have special respect for him, he is the emperor......" Actually, it's because Nancy served the emperor of the empire!

So...... That's right, in the end, Nancy succumbed to the dollar.

Our Nancy sister can't speak so much, so she speaks a little detouringly, but Sherman and Greg still understand!

"Great!" Greg shouted first, because the merit was in front of him.

"......," Sherman didn't say until a long time, "Take Miss Nancy down first." ”

“YES-SIR！” Greg knew it was Sherman to think about.

So, what would Sherman think?

In fact, it didn't take long for Sherman to call his herald immediately.

"Send a report! Send a report to General Grant! Let's just say we need support! We need the support of the entire United States Army and Navy! We besieged the Emperor of the American Empire in Vicksburg! That tyrant! That yellow-skinned monkey! We need to get rid of that tyrant here! ”

Sherman's words made his herald feel extremely excited, because it seemed to say that we were going to end the war soon.

Soon the telegram reached Ulysses. Grant's hand, and after he read it, he also fell into deep thought!

And after contemplation, Grant also called his own herald. "Send a message to Washington! Say we need a qiē support! ”

Support?

Yes, it is support, Grant also discovered the key, he knows the importance of this battle that will be reborn in Vicksburg, which will affect the trend of the entire war, and even the entire history!

So the entire U.S. Army was in motion, and the United States Navy, at least in the Gulf of Mexico, went into the Mississippi River, and on the Mississippi River, as long as there were ships that could be armed, they were all moving!

There is only one goal, and that is Vicksburg!

Grant had the greatest support, Washington had full trust in him, and Washington saw the benefits, that tyrant was in Vicksburg, catch him, or kill him, then the war would be over, all the time.

So how does the specific support work?

Grant himself led an army of 100,000, he couldn't move, he still had to attack Atlanta, however, this time he temporarily let go of his selfishness, and he gave Lincoln Jianyi, that is, to send General Mead!

George. Gordon. Mead, commander-in-chief of the Topomac Corps, and his greatest achievement was the defeat of Robert at Gettysburg. Plum!

True, the Battle of Gettysburg was fought by him, but!

Gettysburg is generally considered to be the turning point of the American Civil War, that is, this General Mead is very meritorious, but now the entire US Army is talking about Grant.

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

Therefore, to really speaking, Grant's contribution is relatively large, but the current South is not 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 he can't order more than one door, so whether it is public or private, Grant must squeeze out General Mead, but this time.

That's right, Grant is really out of the way, he almost did what he could, and he fought hard! (To be continued......)

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