Wild North America 1846

It was already January 17th when the White House learned of the full-scale invasion of the Tang Kingdom's troops (US official statement). At this time, a series of bad news came from the northern border states, which had already made the Buchanan administration very anxious.

The Kansas Corps fell into a tight siege, and the rapid fall of important towns in areas such as Orange, St. Joseph, and Revere sent a chill to the bones of the United States of America at the beginning of 1860.

Judging from the limited information currently available;

Since the declaration of war, the Tang Kingdom has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to launch a fierce attack on a front of more than 1,700 kilometers from north to south. The momentum of the attack has been extremely huge. More than 10 important towns have fallen to the enemy. The battlefield situation in North America has become even more tense.

complex.

January 18

The United States of America has officially declared war on the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty. People are fighting at their doorsteps, and it can't be done without declaring war.

What are you afraid of...

A huge problem fell on the shoulders of Lieutenant General Ulysses Grant, commander-in-chief of the U.S. Union Army. This made him feel a mountain of pressure. He seemed to be in a dilemma for a while, and it was difficult to come up with an effective response.

Although Grant participated in the Mexican-American War when he was young, he did not participate in the First, Second and Third Western Expeditions because the Fourth Infantry Regiment in which he served was transferred to Philadelphia, and he did not have a deep understanding of the ferocity of the Tang Kingdom's army. More

The impression comes from hearsay.

Grant was a middle-aged officer who had just been promoted to captain in 1853. Later, he voluntarily resigned and left the army in order to avoid being punished due to drunkenness in a military camp.

After the outbreak of war in October 1857

Grant returned to the army and served in an infantry battalion, and was quickly promoted to brigadier general two months later. He made many meritorious deeds in subsequent battles, and therefore received special favor from President James Buchanan, and became a member of the U.S. Army.

Commander-in-Chief, commanding the Northern Army of more than 1.5 million people.

In terms of age, Grant has just turned 38, and he is very proud of himself.

If history does not change in the future

Lieutenant General Grant was awarded the rank of first general of the United States of America for his victory in the Civil War, and won the presidential election...

On January 19, 1860, as soon as Lieutenant General Grant, the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Army who was urgently recalled from the Eastern Front, arrived at the White House, he participated in the highest crisis decision-making meeting personally chaired by U.S. President James Buchanan.

The meeting was attended by the Secretary of State, heads of various government departments and senior officials from the Army General Staff Headquarters. The closed-door meeting lasted for two days and two nights, with meals and breaks taking place in the White House residence, in order to find a solution to the national emergency crisis.

While the meeting was being held, two more terrible pieces of bad news came from the frontline battlefield...

Des Moines County, 187 kilometers east of Fortress Omaha, was besieged by the heavy troops of the Tang Kingdom. After many days of hard fighting, more than 35,000 soldiers of the 2nd Division of the US Army's Iowa Volunteers were wiped out, with more than 11,000 casualties and 11,000 casualties.

23,000 officers and soldiers surrendered, hundreds of people disappeared, and Des Moines County fell...

Shortly thereafter, Iowa was declared lost...

At this point, two levels of the triple portal east of Chicago were broken open. The army of the Tang Dynasty was about to attack the city of Davenport. However, the Davenport garrison only had a few thousand people. Even emergency reinforcements were too late now. Finally,

Fall is a high probability event.

The sharpness of the Tang Kingdom's troops was like a wildfire that started a prairie fire. The high-level government officials who were participating in a closed-door meeting at the White House suddenly became confused. Many important resolutions that had been discussed for two days and two nights were overturned.

The most important issue now is "Save Chicago."

Looking at the sharply declining war situation, we can no longer afford to delay, and we must make a major decision as soon as possible, otherwise;

Emergency in Chicago!

The Great Lakes are in emergency!

America is in emergency!

Under the influence of the imminent war crisis, the efficiency of high-level decision-making in the White House government has also improved a lot. A series of major decisions were made immediately, and orders flew across the country like snowflakes.

"Mobilize all forces and massively increase 300,000 troops to Chicago"

"Arm Chicago and mobilize 120,000 militiamen on the spot"

"The Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Army Grant personally sat in Chicago to command and win this crucial battle to defend Chicago."

"Instruct General Sherman to quickly lead his army back north to relieve the siege of Kansas. It will be carried out immediately."

"General Samuel Brown is ordered to quickly lead his army back north, destined for Chicago, and the entire army is ordered to arrive within 23 days.",

"The Western Front battlefield has reduced its troop strength across the board, while the Eastern Front battlefield has been defensive and ready to attack, changing the overall strategy of taking the initiative and preserving its strength."

"The country is carrying out its fifth general military mobilization, and another one million troops have been added."

"Immediately seek help from European powers such as Britain and France. You can accept harsh conditions, and the details are to be discussed."

"Playing the tragedy card in international public opinion to win sympathy and support, hailing it as a "war of conquest by the Orientals", in order to gain support from Europeans who are also white people."

…

Inside the Oval Office

President James Buchanan, who had gray hair and a stooped figure, lit a cigar and took a deep breath. He used the stimulation of the tobacco to boost his spirit. His expression looked very calm, with a look of being indifferent to life and death after going through all kinds of disasters.

A feeling of detachment.

actually

There has been too much bad news since he took office as president, and he has been numbed by it.

In just three years, from a proud politician after winning the election to a rickety old man today, who knows what President James Buchanan has experienced?

"Last Christmas we gathered together, imagining the dreamy scene of the reunification of the United States after the victory of the war. Everyone was ambitious and full of joy for the continuous success on the Western Front..."

As President James Buchanan spoke, he shook his head with a wry smile, walked to the window and opened the white lace curtains to let in more sunlight, and then continued in a self-deprecating tone;

“Everyone is trapped in the illusion of self-deception, subconsciously avoiding or not wanting to acknowledge the oriental kingdom that dominates the west, and not wanting to face our good neighbor head-on.

Newspaper public opinion smeared and vilified the Orientals, ridiculed the Orientals to their heart's content, used inferior and false reports to cover up the real panic in their hearts, and subconsciously resisted communicating with the Tang Kingdom.

Now the heavy blow from the Orientals has woken us all up.

Devil King Richard leads his terrifying army to invade American territory again, driving us into the abyss of despair.

Being too close to the Tang Dynasty and too far from God will be America’s eternal tragedy.

The unprecedentedly cruel and bloody civil war has entered its fourth year. The victories we have achieved on the Western Front battlefield are built on the beach and will fall with the slightest push.

It's so complete and very sad.

Now we are facing the most significant national crisis since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Southerners have nothing to worry about. The biggest threat comes from the tidal force of the Tang Kingdom, which is armed to the teeth.

Wherever the iron hoof goes, the mountains and rivers change color, and large areas of territory are ravaged by war and subject to crazy erosion, and we may forever lose those beautiful lands that once belonged to us.

We must unite all the forces that can be united, mobilize all the war potential that can be launched, and fight to the death. Even if this country is completely destroyed and the war spreads to the east coast, we will never give up.

We want to save Chicago, America does not believe in tears..."

Speaking of which

President James Buchanan trembled all over, his shoulders couldn't stop shrugging, and when he turned around, his face was filled with tears and he was crying like a child.

He continued to choke down and said, "God, I'm so scared..."

The president's gaffe made Secretary of State Michael Hughes, White House Chief of Staff Huntingston, and U.S. Army Commander-in-Chief Grant look particularly solemn. The Oval Office was filled with an extremely tragic atmosphere, as if the sky had fallen.

a moment later

Secretary of State Michael Hughes said in a dry voice: "As God is my witness, we have taken every emergency mobilization measure possible.

If we want to wait for a response from Europe, it will take at least two or three months. Ideally, it will take at least half a year for the British or French to lend a helping hand.

These six months will be the darkest and most dangerous moment in the history of the United States. We can only survive with strong faith and heroic sacrifice.

General Grant, the government promises to do its best to provide all possible resources to your troops. America's free, democratic, and just national system cannot be destroyed in our hands and requires the sacrifice and loyalty of the military to defend it.

Even if there are endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood and mountains of bones, we will never be afraid, and the government will be the strong backing of the army."

After all the chatter, General Grant had to express his opinion, but he did not dare to guarantee it.

Therefore, speak carefully;

“Dear Mr. President, Mr. Secretary of State;

At this time of national crisis, I would like to thank you for your unreserved trust and support in me and the army, as well as the solemn commitment that the army needs most.

I will lead the American army to fight the enemy in a bloody battle to the end. Judging from the military reports sent back from the front line;

This will be an unprecedentedly powerful and ferocious enemy, possessing elite weapons and sophisticated training that far exceeds ours, and is armed to the teeth.

But this cannot scare the heroic American army. I solemnly promise you that the US military will not give up every inch of land, and will fight to the end even with sticks, fists, and teeth.

Now we have no weapons to arm a million more people, no guns and no ammunition, no bread and everything, not even shoes for the soldiers.

If this continues, we may have to let soldiers go to the battlefield with pitchforks just like in the Middle Ages. This is the most urgent problem that needs to be solved."

"Everything will be there, I promise, it's just that the time will be delayed." Secretary of State Michael Hughes responded solemnly. He turned his face and said to the President in a regretful tone; "Maybe we all

Wrong, we are always calculating how to repay the French loan sharks, for fear of crushing the country's future economy. We should boldly borrow more French francs and pounds, and closely tie the interests of both parties together, so that we can obtain

Support from world powers.”

"Mr. Secretary of State, what you're saying is...we borrowed less money?"

"Yes, Mr. President, if we borrow 10 times more money, the world powers such as Britain and France will definitely not sit idly by, but we can't tell now."

"Maybe... what you said makes sense."
