Chapter 321： Pig teammate (2/2)
In many people's view, the unification of armed forces can easily lead to the joint intervention of various countries, and it is necessary to reproduce the embarrassing situation of burning the White House.
During this period, most officers in the U.S. Army were from southern plantation owners. The capitalists did not have the habit of fighting with guns, and the army's dominance had always been in the hands of the southern plantation owners.
After the Southern Government declared independence, the U.S. Army was largely dispersed, and officers became particularly scarce.
If nothing happens, even if President Lincoln wants to use force to resolve the Southern Alliance, he will not have enough officers available in a short time.
As long as it is dragged on, it is an established fact that the North and South have split. Regardless of whether the northern government acknowledged it, in the end they were powerless.
At this time, the southern government did a stupid thing that detonated the war.
On April 12, 1861, the self-expanding southern government sent troops to attack the Satham fortress, preparing to use force to force the northern government to recognize the independence of the Southern Alliance.
The southern government started first, which undoubtedly stimulated the nerves of the people in the northern states. The capitalists immediately manipulated public opinion, and the northern government was packaged as a victim.
The opportunity for Lincoln to wait was here, and a draft order was issued immediately after the war broke out.
The states that had previously resisted the use of force to solve the South's problems stood behind the northern government at this moment in support of the federal government's counterinsurgency.
Several northern states that had been persuaded by various countries to remain neutral in the civil war are now affected by public opinion, and their positions have once again been shaken.
After receiving the news, the ambassadors of the four countries, Britain, France, and the West, scolded the pig teammates.
According to a pre-booked plan, the southern government declared independence and used the hearts of the American people against the civil war to create established facts with the intervention of various countries.
Most of these diplomatic efforts are now put to waste. Except for the three animal husbandry states that fled to participate in the Southern League, the neutral northern state was finally persuaded to be involved again.
Drucker, the Austrian ambassador to the United States, said with an ugly expression, ”This is the end of the matter, and it doesn't help anymore, let's consider what to do next!”
French Minister in the United States Alfred had to sneer: ”What else can we do, since these credible Yankees want to fight, let them fight.
When they hit exhaustion, we went out to clean up the mess. As long as we are consistent, we can reverse the situation even if we have won. ”
Apparently, Alfred was already very upset with the southern government. The fact that such a big war was launched has not been discussed with other countries.
You know, the situation of the southern government is still supported by the four countries. This has just gained an advantage, and the southern government has drifted away.
Americans can't fight, in fact everyone doesn't care. However, the political achievements that affect everyone are different. Now that the war broke out, the situation is out of control. In the future, if you want to intervene, you can only rely on force.
Splitting the United States by force and splitting the United States by political means is not a concept at all. If the United States is divided by political means, the four sitting here have created a miracle in the history of diplomacy. With this credit, it is not surprising that even foreign ministers are mixed.
Political stability in other countries, one radish and one pit, makes it difficult to become a foreign minister. But France is not the same, at most it has been in the team for several years and it is his turn.
This is still the case of the relatively stable politics of Napoleon III. If during the Republic, it would not be surprising to change people seven or eight times a year.
The British Minister to the United States, Mark Oliver, shook his head and said, ”It's so easy to reverse the situation. It's better to have both the North and the South lose each other, and we will finally mediate.
It's just that this degree is not easy to grasp. In the event that the game collapses and one side wins the war, the price we would have to pay if we wanted to intervene. ”
The Spanish ambassador to the United States, Francesco, complained: ”I blame Jefferson-Davis for that idiot, and my head is full of fights and kills. I don't know what politics is!”
”If he is not stupid, why do we still support him? It is better to support a stupid dominate the Southern League than to support a strong man.” Austrian Ambassador to the United States Drucker comforted
There is no doubt that Jefferson Davis, the owner of the large plantation, can become the president of the Southern Alliance, and the support of the four countries is indispensable.
Jefferson Davis was able to stand out from many competitors, which is obviously not a simple matter. He participated in the US-Mexico War and served as Secretary of War (predecessor of the Ministry of Defense).
During the war, it is natural to choose a leader who is proficient in the military. As for the other capabilities, it's okay to lack. Moreover, being able to serve as Minister of War is enough to prove that his political talent is not low.
French Minister Alfred suggested: ”In this case, then we support the idiots in the South first. Anyway, their strength is limited, and even if they conquer Washington tomorrow, they will not have unified American capabilities.
At that time, we will support the northern government to fight back. Repeated it several times, consuming their national power as much as possible, lest it be a scourge. ”
British Minister Mark Oliver thought for a while and said, ”Since the South Government dares to join us, how can we give them a lesson. It is better that we declare neutrality together and call for the peaceful settlement of the dispute between the two countries.”
There are many ways to support it. Of course, the strongest is to end directly. Obviously, the stupidity of the southern government has made everyone very dissatisfied, and it is impossible to directly pull the bias.
The declaration of neutrality is undoubtedly a warning to the southern government not to play with fire.
An appeal to the two countries to settle their disputes peacefully and change their understanding can also be seen as making excuses for armed interference.
When everyone is ready to interfere, the subtext becomes: Whoever refuses to resolve the North-South problem peacefully, the four countries must use force to let them agree.
