Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

Two weeks before July, Prussian recruits arrived in the United States one after another. However, compared with later generations, Washington in this period was really simple lines and the ultimate color.

Prussia invested a lot of money and manpower in this war, investing a thousand cannons, [-] rifles, and [-] million rounds of ammunition. This is all money!

This time the commander-in-chief of the Prussian Volunteer Army is Manteuffel. Some familiar figures can be seen in his troops, such as Edward von Lewinsky from the previous Danish War. This time he became an artilleryman. The battalion commander, Frederick, served as the lieutenant commander of the [-]nd Infantry Battalion. Among them was a young second lieutenant who was still in the military academy. He followed the troops to the front line. His name was Paul von Hinden. fort.

These are very young generals, they are the new blood of the Prussian army, and this time they will be tempered on the real battlefield.

After the first batch of [-] people arrived, Prussia added another [-] reserve troops, for a total of [-] volunteers. Lincoln welcomed this Prussian army and took another [-] rifles from the arsenal. With one million rounds of ammunition, he met with Manteuffel in front of the army, and Manteuffel reluctantly signed the agreement.

On his second day in the United States, Manteuffel complained to his men, "The Americans inflicted greater losses on our armaments on the first day than in all the wars we have fought."

Some time ago, the federal army failed to attack Richmond, and he was prepared to continue to invest troops. However, Manteuffel said that it was not necessary. We can capture Richmond with [-] people. What is so difficult about a small city?

Lincoln was dubious, but still felt that Prussia should bring [-] U.S. troops there. The U.S. military of this size had never taken Richmond before. No matter how powerful the Prussians were, they couldn't win with such a huge military disadvantage, right?

Then the Prussian army defeated Richmond's defenders in three days. Although there were many defenders, to be honest, the quality of the army on the opposite side was almost the same as here, and the general on the opposite side happened to be away, so Prussia easily defeated the opposing army. of troops.

The tactic used by Prussia was to attack suddenly before the opponent could react. The American army was shattered at the first touch. The Prussian army won the battle without much effort, which made Lincoln very embarrassed. He followed the army. When they arrived at the front line, they brought nearly [-] US troops with them, but they were not used at all.

After the war, ten Krupp cannons were seized, which Prussia sold to the United States. Only two hundred were sold in total. There are actually ten here. And why are there breech-loading rifles on the opposite side? When did Prussia also sell equipment to the Confederate States of America?

Lincoln: I won’t make it!

Manteuffel suddenly felt that equipping the US military was a wrong choice? According to Lincoln's style of play, good equipment would be given to others to play within a few days of playing with it.

Doesn’t this give strength to one’s own people? Manteuffel asked, "That is to say, is there a possibility that if you really can't fight, you can destroy the weapons. Why would you give them to others? Isn't this torturing your own people?"

Lincoln: "Huh? I don't know?"

Lincoln must have known that this could be done, but whether your order can always be effective when it reaches the front line is another matter. When everyone calls for retreat, whether to flee for one's life first, or to finish the job before fleeing for one's life, are two different things. .

The US military generally chooses the former. Weapons and equipment are none of their business. You have to praise them for being able to carry the gun back.

The Confederate commander thought that the Union Army had figured it out and wondered if he could take Richmond back. But when he saw the Prussian flag on the perimeter, he admitted that he panicked. He didn't expect Prussia to come so soon. The task was canceled directly.

Next, Washington learned that the Union Army had deployed many troops at Gettysburg in the north. Manteuffel thought that the Union Army seemed to be focusing on attacking Washington, so he quickly mobilized troops back to support Gettysburg.

And just the marching U.S. troops were enough to make the Prussian army eat three big bowls. Lincoln was also a little embarrassed. After all, the U.S. military was so overwhelmed that he didn't even notice it. Most of them were militiamen. The real U.S. The army numbered less than [-] people.

No wonder the United States wants to allow people to legally hold guns. In your situation, people don’t know who can protect themselves without guns. Lincoln looked at the Prussian soldiers and fell into deep thought. He also wanted to build such a powerful army, just With only [-] people, we can conquer positions that cannot be taken by more than [-] U.S. troops.

At Gettysburg, the Union Army and the Union Army launched the largest battle since the Civil War. Both sides invested a large number of troops. At the beginning, the Prussian Army did not immediately enter the battle. In this battle, the Union Army's The biggest disadvantage was the lack of ammunition and supplies. They penetrated too deep and the logistics could not keep up.

After figuring this out, the Prussian army marched directly towards the flank of the Union army, fought an encounter with the Union army north of Appomattox, successfully annihilated the three thousand Union troops here, and occupied the road leading to Gettys. The road to the fort completely cut off the logistics of the Union Army in the north.

Then Prussian artillery was sent to assist the U.S. offensive. Within three days, Prussia and the Federal Army killed all the Union troops surrounding the north. Nearly [-] troops were surrounded by Gettysburg, and they were surrounded by After being intercepted, the Allied forces in the rear tried to rescue them, but were beaten back by the Prussian troops.

When the Battle of Gettysburg ended, the Union Army suffered more than [-] casualties, and more than [-] people were captured. When Lincoln came to Gettysburg to give a speech, he was very excited and at the same time incredible. It was discovered that the Prussian army was not only powerful, but could complete tasks that were difficult for the US military alone.

Moreover, it was fast, and the U.S. military's logistics could not keep up with Prussia's speed. Prussia's supplies were usually snatched directly from the enemy after winning the battle, and they fought fast and recklessly.

In the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln praised the Prussian army and the federal army for their impressive achievements in front of all Americans. This was the largest victory since the American Civil War. This news made Washington cheer, and some American militia groups were still worried. Will carry the Prussian flag.

However, many American politicians also found that the current situation was very unfavorable, because this victory was not only due to the federal army. Many Americans had been fighting until they saw the Prussian army coming. When the Prussian army came, they not only penetrated the Shiman, in turn, took out the crotch of the Union Army and fought and won the battle at Gettysburg.

Americans’ inertial thinking will believe that this is all due to the Prussian army. The only European armies that many Americans have seen so far are the Prussian armies. Everyone will think that European armies generally have this strength. Then if the European armies invade the United States , can the United States withstand it?
