Paine's game

"What did you just say?"

Petey and Scarlett almost suspected that they had heard wrongly. This man actually suggested that they set fire to their hometown of Atlanta, the pearl of the South?

"That's right, let's take the initiative and set fire to the city!"

Paine said categorically that he knew it would be difficult to convince these two women to implement his crazy idea, but how would he know if he didn't try? Anyway, the situation couldn't get worse. If he couldn't complete the task, he would have to stay here.

In a bad world, with his aboriginal complexion, Paine will definitely not get any good results if he stays here.

"Are you crazy? What's the use of burning Atlanta? This is our hometown, where can we go if we burn Atlanta?"

Petey seemed a little excited, and Paine had to signal her to keep her voice down.

"We just burned the city. The federal troops in the city were not dead. How could we burn the entire Atlanta with our power?"

Paine calmed down the excited Petey, "Listen, those mysterious people are very interested in Atlanta. They also used Rhett Butler to influence you before, asking you to create chaos in the city to cooperate with their attack. But Sherman is interested in Atlanta.

It's not big. You also said that he wanted to burn and abandon Atlanta before, but now it is besieged, and Atlanta has become a garrison bunker for federal troops. So if we make the move to burn Atlanta, what will happen to the two families?

What’s the reaction?”

"The mysterious people will definitely coerce the Southern army to attack, and Sherman will resist while letting people put out the fire and search the whole city." Scarlett Hao shook her head and said, "We will still be caught. This approach is meaningless.

”

"No, based on my understanding of Sherman, if he found signs that Atlanta was being burned, he would probably announce an evacuation without hesitation, or even add a fire."

Petey guessed what Paine was thinking, "Do you want to force the federal army to leave the city and fight the mysterious people?"

"Yes, in fact, our biggest threat right now comes from Sherman. No matter how strong the mysterious man is, he will not be able to restrain us. And Sherman is the most powerful person in Atlanta at this time. As long as he makes a sound

With the order, the federal army can smash us into pieces at any time. So we must promote the development of the situation and not let him have the time and attention to investigate internally."

"You mean, Sherman still doubts us?"

"A smart person like him will not let down his guard casually. If he knew that Petey was still hiding mercenaries, it would be very ugly. So we might as well lift the table in advance and not let the situation continue.

The stalemate continues."

Paine continued: "That group of mysterious people were too cautious and actually sent people in to investigate the situation. If they don't start fighting as soon as possible, we will be the unlucky ones. The biggest advantage of the federal army is that they have an organized heavy artillery team. If

Without the threat of heavy artillery, the mysterious people swarming the Southern troops could cause them a lot of trouble. But if Atlanta is in danger of being burned, and the heavy artillery team cannot stay in the city's fortifications, it can bring them to a similar level.

If we go up, we will have a chance."

"I understand what you mean." Scarlett Hao also understood at this time, "You want to facilitate the early decisive battle between the Yankees and those mysterious people. It is best to stay away from the city and then we have a chance to escape, right?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. As long as Atlanta is on fire, no matter how steady the mysterious people are, they will still have to attack, and Sherman will want to break out as long as he doesn't want to die, as long as they collide outside the city."

Paine said with a smile, thinking that as long as the federal army went out to fight the Fools to death, the mercenaries in Petey's hands would be able to almost control the situation. In this way, it should be considered a success in assisting the southern resistance forces to retake the city of Atlanta.

, as for how much time can be regained, it has nothing to do with Paine.
