Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 277 Civil War between the North and the South

As soon as he returned to the Hongyun tribe, Xie Zihao could not help but be pestered by that cute foodie with a personality like a child.

On this trip, Xie Zihao brought back a lot of dry goods from the north and south from the Tang Dynasty. Although they were all New World versions, they tasted pretty good. This was Hongmen's enthusiasm and it was hard to refuse, so Xie Zihao simply accepted them all and gave them to Hongyun when he came back.

Gods can also consume less when making food sacrifices.

After drinking and eating, the cute foodie gave Xie Zihao, a good man, a reward as usual, but it was a small ball of red divine power. Xie Zihao was very familiar with this. The so-called divine power is actually the power of incense with attributes.

Seeing the marshmallow returning to his little nest in the stone pillar and taking a nap, Xie Zihao began to think about how to arm the Red Cloud tribe.

I just got a little bit of divine power. This small ball of red divine power is about as much as ten points of incense faith. Based on the population of the Hongyun tribe, this ball of divine power should be the "pocket money" that Marshmallow has accumulated for at least a month. After all, the gods are also

Divine power is needed to maintain one's condition.

So this Hongyun God is still very generous.

In this case, Xie Zihao decided to take it from Hongyun and use it for Hongyun.

Directly using this group of divine power as energy, he manifested a batch of thousands of new versions of Brown Bess flintlock guns for the Hongyun tribe. Because they were shaped by him, the caliber and quality of each gun were exactly the same, far better than the real ones.

The ones produced in the Imperial Arsenal are even better.

There are also twelve bronze six-pound cannons, which are Napoleon's bronze cannons that can be pulled by horses, using wheels instead of gun mounts.

These are creations for which divine power was paid. Although they are spread over thousands of items, there is no guarantee that these items will last forever, but they can at least last for several years, which is enough for the indigenous people to use in this war.

In addition, Xie Zihao observed that the advantage of the aboriginal knights lay in their mobility, which would inevitably affect their speed. Xie Zihao did not create full-body and half-body armor with stronger protection. He only created a batch of light cavalry breastplates, which would not

Impeding the movement of aboriginal knights will not affect much speed.

After doing this, with the gratitude of the Red Cloud Tribe, Xie Zihao and Weasel took their leave for the time being, preparing to go to the Eastern Federation to have a look and do some things on the way.

After all, he knew that he could not stay in this dream world for too long. In the future war with the Federation, the aborigines would still have to rely on Tang Dynasty and other means to obtain weapons and supplies.

This makes the previously arranged hidden line of the Thomson trio very important.

The western and eastern parts of North America are separated by mountains, deserts and plains. For ordinary people, a trip there is like a journey of life and death, but for Xie Zihao, it is like walking on flat ground. With his speed exceeding that of a high-speed rail, he can travel in just half a day.

After crossing more than half of the continent, sensing the coordinates of the three cursed humanoids of Thompson's team, they arrived at St. Louis, the westernmost city in the east.

There was actually nothing interesting about St. Louis in 1857. Apart from a bit of a western movie feel, everything was savage and dirty. Everyone had a strange smell, even a few of them looked clean and tidy.

It cannot be avoided for gentlemen and ladies.

On the one hand, it is because of the limitations of the times, and on the other hand, it is because foreigners are born with heavy body odor.

The carriage drove quietly on the streets of St. Louis and came to a slightly remote building without attracting any attention.

This is a wooden house with a facade in the front and a large yard and warehouse in the back for storing goods.

The Thomson trio had changed out of their denim attire and were now wearing linen shirts and canvas trousers. They were dressed for work, and were counting goods in the warehouse.

When they saw the master Xie Zihao appearing out of thin air, they all jumped, and then came over to pay their respects in fear.

After hearing the three people's reports on the situation for more than a month, Xie Zihao was quite satisfied with their performance.

They were able to set up a company and warehouse in such a short period of time, and also prepared hundreds of tons of goods. Although they were basically grains, salt, cloth and other daily necessities, they had not yet established a relationship with the weapons dealers when they first arrived.

But this level also shows that the three of them are very attentive.

Xie Zihao nodded and said:

"Yes, you're doing well. I'll go to the east for a walk next. You should hurry up and stock up on supplies and weapons, and try to transport everything there before the war starts."

Upon receiving this comment, the trio immediately beamed.

In fact, they are able to do this not only because they are a little clever and dare to fight and kill, but also because they have golden connections that pave the way.

However, the piece of gold provided by Xie Zihao has been almost used up. Next, we need to find a way to make money, otherwise we will be left with nothing. We can't let the three of them continue to work in their old business to make money, right?

Moreover, grabbing money is not as fast as imagined. Not only is the harvest not fixed every time, but also the realization of some loot is also a problem.

But facing Xie Zihao, who was like a demon to them, the trio were too frightened to speak.

As if he saw their problem, Xie Zihao dropped another huge piece of gold before leaving this time. This made the trio couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although no one was here, they still didn't dare to delay and took action quickly.

Leaving St. Louis, Xie Zihao headed east and soon came to the core of the White Eagle Federation of this era, or one of the cores, Philadephia.

The reason why I came here first is because although Washington, DC has been the de facto capital of the White Eagle Federation for fifty-seven years, Philadephia, as an important northern town, once served as the temporary capital for a long time.

In addition, the city is located not far from New York and Washington, so Philadelphia is still one of the political bases of the White Eagle Federation, and many politicians choose to settle in this city.

In contrast, the South seemed to lack large cities of sufficient size, so it lost out in the competition for the location of the capital. In the end, after many compromises, a new capital was chosen to be located on the Potomac River dividing the north from the south.

, and named after Washington, one of the founding fathers, which later became the Washington DC.

But what is the reality?

Behind Washington are Philadelphia, the steel town of Pittsburgh, and big northern cities like New York. However, there are not many big cities to the south of Washington, and there are very few even medium-sized cities. So in reality, the White Eagle Federation

The center of the United States has always been biased towards the northern industrial states, and the potential of the industrial states is far from being comparable to that of the agricultural states. No wonder the South once had an advantage during the Civil War, but ultimately failed!

From the perspective of an afterthought, Xie Zihao could see at a glance the advantages and gaps between the two civil wars.

As I said before, the agricultural states in the south are just like the native Sioux people. They can win, but they cannot fail. As long as they fail once, it will be difficult to have a chance to start over.

The industrial states in the north had an advantage in population and industrial strength, and had the opportunity to regroup if they failed. Such repeated failures depleted the elites and resources of the south, and finally won the civil war.

That's why he first went to the base camp in the northern state to do something. While accelerating the intensification of the conflict between the north and the south, he also planted a few nails.
