I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Except for a few who escaped, most of the government troops were either wiped out or captured.

The United States lost this force, and Vicksburg became an undefended city, and the Independent Army successfully captured it.

The winning side often burns, kills, and loots the conquered places. This is a thousands-year tradition.

That is to say, this phenomenon gradually decreased after the Chinese army began to converge.

When the Independent Army wanted to cause chaos in Vicksburg, they were stopped by the Chinese army.

What Dahua wants is a stable North America that does not hate Dahua.

Winning over the hearts and minds of ordinary people must be done.

Therefore, Jin Jiusheng asked the independent army to only attack a small number of nobles and not allow them to plunder ordinary people.

Naturally, Seiko agrees with this principle. After all, he is ambitious and hopes to overthrow the United States, so he naturally needs a lot of support.

Without the support of these people, his recruitment would be a big problem.

If you engage in burning, killing and looting, it is obviously impossible to get the support of the people at the bottom.

After winning a hard battle, there was no reward for burning, killing and looting. Some soldiers in the Independence Army felt very resentful.

Stuffing it in can only provide constant comfort, but the effect is very average.

This kind of thing can only take time to get them used to it, and it is impossible to achieve results with just a few words of comfort.

Compared with the troubles of confinement, the governments of the United States of America have greater troubles.

Dahua finally took action, and they finally faced this unsolvable problem.

How to deal with it?

The United States has been studying this issue for a long time, but there has been no perfect solution.

Of course, this does not mean that they have no research results at all.

At least, they have thought of some countermeasures.

Philadelphia, Federal Assembly.

The current United States of America has a total of thirty-two states, and its sphere of influence basically covers the central and eastern parts.

"According to intelligence, Dahua dispatched only 5,000 troops this time."

Virginia Governor Avery said.

This news made many people breathe a sigh of relief, which was considered a blessing among misfortunes.

If Dahua dispatched 50,000 troops, they wouldn't have to fight and could just surrender.

Their current army only totals about 200,000.

Even if they are recruited later, they will only form an army of 500,000 people, and the combat strength of the 300,000 people recruited temporarily is worrying.

Five hundred thousand is already their limit, and they cannot afford more than this amount.

Even without military pay, they don't have that many weapons.

The only ones who can really fight are the current 200,000 people.

Using 200,000 to fight Dahua's 50,000 people, they really don't have much confidence.

Dahua's illustrious military exploits are extremely intimidating.

When other troops encounter the Chinese army, they will be afraid of the enemy.

Fortunately, Dahua only dispatched 5,000 people now, which gave them a lot more confidence.

"Five thousand people are not easy to deal with. We must concentrate our forces to hope to defeat them. Don't forget, the number of rebels is quite large."

Military boss Kenner reminded.

This battle was very difficult for them. Most of their troops were concentrated in the northeastern states, far away from the front line of Mississippi.

Just moving the troops there is not easy.

"Or, we should follow the original plan and use strategic depth to wear them down."

Council boss Tim suggested.

This was their previous strategic plan. Regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place, Fang Hua's army went deep into the area, and then sabotaged the Chinese army's back, forcing the Chinese army to divide its troops to garrison, and finally concentrated its forces to defeat them one by one.

The United States of America is very large, and Dahua cannot send too many troops, so this plan has certain feasibility.

However, no one expected that they themselves would be in chaos first.

Now they need to deal with not only the Chinese army, but also the rebels.

If Dahua lets the weaker rebels stay behind while he, as a sharp knife, continues to attack cities and territories, it will be very bad for the United States.

"I'm afraid this won't work. The more territory Sexton controls, the more troops he can recruit. At that time, it will be more difficult for them to deal with them."

Avery said.

"But besides this method, do we have any better choice? Should we transfer all the main forces to the front line to fight them decisively?

Let’s not talk about how much money it costs to launch such a decisive battle. Even if this unit of the Chinese army is annihilated, who can guarantee that the Chinese will not send out a second support army in anger? "

Tim's tone was full of pessimism, almost saying, "We are no match for him, there is no need to struggle."

There are many people like Tim. They have no hope of defeating Dahua. They just want to make a fortune before Dahua comes.

In the future, whether he surrenders to Dahua or flees back to Europe with his wealth, he will not be left empty-handed.

And if he bets all his fortune to fight Dahua now, Dahua will be angered if he wins, and he will lose everything if he loses.

There are many people who think this way, but there are also many who are not willing to wait for death.

Moreover, these more ambitious people still control the army.

"It's impossible not to resist, but the risk of a direct decisive battle is too high. I think

Let’s take a look at the situation first. They currently have limited forces and occupy one or two states at most, so they cannot attack here for the time being. "

Kenner chose a middle ground.

That is to say, to avoid a decisive battle, but not to give up resistance completely, but to focus on small-scale harassment stations and focus on the rebels.

At the same time, propaganda was strengthened to increase people's hatred of the rebels and the Chinese army.

Then go to the places controlled by the rebels to carry out sabotage and instigate rebellion, so as to distract the enemy's energy and delay time.

After several rounds of discussions, they finally settled on the plan.

Apart from this method, they have no better way.

They are like a terminally ill patient who knows that no medicine can save him or her, but they still take some folk remedies to give themselves a glimmer of hope and a glimmer of fantasy.

What if a miracle happens?

In Mississippi, neither Selu nor Jin Jiusheng was in a hurry to expand northward.

They also know the importance of consolidating the rear. Without a stable rear, it doesn't make much sense to occupy more places. Instead, they will be forced to divide their troops and garrison them.

The officials sent by Dahua are stepping up their efforts to establish a complete administrative rule, while Zhiqiu is stepping up military recruitment and training.

He wants to create a strong army. Only if he has soldiers and power can his words be taken seriously by Dahua.

After the battle at Vicksburg, both sides had a tacit understanding to stop first.

However, both parties knew in their hearts that this matter was not over.

The United States is deploying troops to the front line, and Seoul is training troops. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between the two sides.
