As for the current territory of the New Tang Empire in the United States, it naturally started from California from the west, and now because of the connection of the railway, such a large place on the Colorado Plateau has been taken into the bag.

And that's just to the north, south of Colorado, it's New Mexico, and then east, all the way to Vicksburg, on the east bank of Mississippi.

In other words, including the quasi-states of New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, these places are all imperial!

And you know, the current New Mexico quasi-state is called the quasi-state, this state is actually the later Arizona and New Mexico, Utah is also there, plus Mexico in the south, all the way to Panama!

This is really a big place, although there is no accurate measurement, but the area of this territory, by the way, plus Alaska!

In terms of area, the New Tang Empire of the United States has surpassed the United States of America, and may even surpass the United States plus the Union States, that is, the North and the South of the United States!

Li Mengyang, the emperor, he is only 28 years old this year, and he started from scratch, and today he has such a huge territory, and this empire has become so huge, this ......

Where do you make sense?!

Well, if you count the Indians, there aren't many Indians now, and most of the current Indians are concentrated in Nebraska, northwest Kansas, and there are also blacks. But the number of blacks is also average.

After the start of the civil war, the blacks in these places were emancipated by the north, so many blacks fled. Or maybe they have been armed to fight for the North in recent years.

However, no matter how you look at it, this is a very remarkable achievement!

However, this achievement has not yet reached the ears of the emperor, there is no way, he is east of the Mississippi River, and the empire is actually making efforts in this regard. It's about repairing telegraph lines.

Cyrus's telegraph minister, he's very busy right now, Empire. There must be a telegram everywhere, this is the death order of His Majesty the Emperor, but the speed of repairing this thing is a little too fast to keep up with the advance of the Imperial Army.

From this it can be seen that this 'achievement' was achieved a bit suddenly. Li Mengyang also knew that Utah was starting to make trouble. But now another achievement has come......

After the baptism of blood and fire, more than a week has passed at this time, and the place that had been calm has now begun to make noise again, and this noise mostly comes from the Mississippi River, where there are many warships, but now, they all fly white flags!

"Your Majesty! I. Dahlgren, I want to give in to you! Please accept my surrender! "Rear Admiral of the United States with all his men. On that small high ground in Vicksburg, he bowed his head to the emperor of the New Tang Empire in the United States.

"General Dahlgren, I accept your surrender!" For such a big event, Li Mengyang's face was very serious, although he was happy in his heart.

So this ritual is the surrender of the United States Navy?

Yes! It's just surrender, but it's just that these warships brought by Dahlgren are the American river forces in the previous Battle of Vicksburg, and they surrendered, and they surrendered unconditionally!

How did Dahlgren suddenly surrender? Isn't it all the army that Li Mengyang brought this time?

That's right, the Reich didn't bring any warships, but the current situation forced Dahlgren to surrender.

He's out of tricks, he's trapped!

The current Mississippi River is like this, the downstream part, Memphis in the north was captured by the Empire, and New Orleans in the south was occupied by the Empire, and then the Empire used a very simple trick in these two places.

Throw all the boats that can be used on the river, such as those barges, and some that can't run away, buy them, load them with big stones, and connect them with cables...... This is simply an iron lock across the river!

The Mississippi River has been blocked by the Empire, and the entire downstream has been sealed, and the fleet led by Dahlgren is really looking forward to it.

Of course, he didn't know this idiom, but now his mood was extremely appropriate, and he couldn't pass by looking at the sea.

So what can I do? Do you want a naval landing?

Now that there are imperial troops on both sides of the Mississippi River, and the navy is off the ship, how strong can they be?

As soon as Dahlgren is summed up, there is simply surrender......

In fact, he made this decision a long time ago, because the navy is a very noble branch of the military now, and it is definitely high in all arms, and they need to master mechanical knowledge, which is not something that anyone can do.

Because of this, the navy can actually surrender, and this is true of any country, and their attitude towards the navy is relatively tolerant. But despite this, Dahlgren also waited for a while, so that his supplies, fuel, and these things were almost consumed, and then he came to surrender, so as to show that he was fighting until the last moment.

It's worthy of the United States......

The surrender of the Navy represented the complete end of the Battle of Vicksburg, and the power of the United States was infinitely close to zero west of the Mississippi River, and the current sporadic resistance was actually the power of the Confederate States, that is, the southern United States, but they were all scabies.

So what's next?

"Comrades! I command now! Enter! Atlanta! ”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

After a week's rest, Li Mengyang, the emperor of the empire, pointed to the east, and the army was ready to go!

……

"Vicksburg is defeated!"

"The Sherman army has been annihilated!"

"All west of the Mississippi River is lost!"

The results of the Battle of Vicksburg naturally reached Washington very quickly, and this time the common people knew about it first. No way, this thing is too big, so before Capitol Hill has yet to react much. The common people began to talk about it.

Let's put it this way, judging from the current situation in the United States, although this matter is very big, after all, such a large country has been lost, but the real impact on the United States is not so great.

At this time, the core of the United States was still near the Great Lakes, or on the eastern coast, and most of the population was concentrated in this circle. But though, it's also really scary.

"Oh God! Will that evil tyrant come at him? ”

"Are the sergeants of the United States idiots? How could you lose so badly? ”

"The French also lost a few years ago, why do you think that tyrant is so powerful?"

"That's a monster! A mutated yellow-skinned monkey! ”

Most of the common people of the United States are scolding. This scolding, most of which has a timid component, rely on this scolding to comfort yourself. At this time, most of the more than 8,000 newspapers in the United States joined them. Some scolded the emperor. There are also those who scold Capitol Hill for their incompetence, and even more so for Sherman.

A wave of defeatist sentiments has begun to spread......

If you want to talk about this emotion, I don't know if there is a credit to the intelligence network arranged by Li Mengyang, but the current situation is so tricky, what are the people on Capitol Hill in Washington all about?

"Mr. President! General Grant must be in battle himself! He can definitely turn the tide! Secretary of War Cameron, the dry old man, was foaming at Lincoln's mouth.

But though. Lincoln naturally didn't have a good face for Cameron, his own secretary of war. In terms of recent performance, that's simply unreliable!

"Alright, Mr. Cameron, you can rest for a while." Chase, the Minister of Finance, came out to speak, and when he wasn't fighting political opponents, he was still a guy who was more human, good at being with mud.

Lincoln's five-member small cabinet group actually understands that this guy Cameron is now shirking responsibility, he doesn't say anything about Vicksburg at all, he is just mentioning that Grant is going to deal with that tyrant, to be honest......

Who doesn't know the method?

Yes, anyone can think of it, and any housewife in Washington knows that this is the only way to do it now, but ......

"Mr. President, I think we can only listen to General Grant's opinion now, we better interfere less, and now we can only trust General Grant's decision!" It was Sward who spoke, but he meant that it was all for Grant.

Someone spoke for Grant, and there must have been objections, and Attorney General Best stood up.

"Mr. Sward! I understand what you mean, but right now, General Grant's advice has cost us such a large piece of land, and if we hadn't chosen to believe Grant to continue to appoint Sherman, the bastard, would the Battle of Vicksburg be the way it is now? I also acknowledge General Grant's contribution to the Civil War, and I agree with many of his views, but now, our opponents are different, and some of General Grant's decisions may not be appropriate! ”

This is very powerful, because it was Grant who said it before, believing Sherman, but now the result is a slap in the face, so do you continue to believe Grant?

But this attitude is a little strange, wasn't it the Secretary of War who said that he would let Grant meet the enemy, and Sward came out to speak, it should be against Cameron's position, and now Best said not to believe General Grant, so what position does he stand on?

Besides, General Grant, the supreme commander of the U.S. Army, what kind of advice did he give to Washington?

In the face of these old fellows of their own, they each have their own positions, and Grant, who is far away on the battlefield, is also uncomfortable, Lincoln, the president of the United States, a big man who has been president for 8 years, is full of sadness at this time, the wrinkles on his face are getting more and more, and his hair is also gray.

So how exactly do you deal with the menacing American Empire? (To be continued......)
