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

Sherman's burning of Atlanta soon spread throughout the United States. Although Hood's troops finally broke away, Manteuffel could have caught up, but thanks to Sherman's burning of the city, The Prussian troops were all rushing to rescue people, and the Federal troops were rushing to set fire. No one had time to pursue them.

Or should Hood flee to the South with his remnants, and would the federal army treat the escaping Americans well? It's not good either. They drove away the American people who escaped. Not everyone in Sherman's troops was so inhumane. Some people said that they were all burned, but that's about it. Don't do things so cruelly.

Manteuffel also felt that the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys had been achieved. It would take half a month to burn down such a large city. Then would the people here be able to survive after that? While there is still time to save, organize firefighting as soon as possible, so that at least half of the residential area can be preserved.

Sherman sneered at this kind of thing. He said that Prussia was too kind. Being kind to its enemies was cruel to itself. Their daughters were Confederate soldiers. He was avenging those soldiers who died in the federal army. .

Manteuffel could only retreat. He said to his friends privately, "This kind of behavior is unreasonable. Even during the craziest revolution in Europe, the French did not burn down Versailles. It was man-made. He was just doing his ugly job." The cruelty is only inflicted on innocent people, and they are not enemies, just innocent people caught up in the tide."

Sherman ordered no one to put out the fire, and anyone who dared to save him would be shot.

As the front continued to advance, the Prussian and Federal armies were unstoppable. In August, they captured Atlanta. In September, almost all of the eastern edge of the Confederate States was included in the federal territory. Soon he would be able to reach Savannah. He and Grant's troops formed a huge pincer offensive against the Confederate Western Front, and the dumpling wrapper was ready to be wrapped in no time.

Compared with the Prussian army, which was always tense, the US military seemed much more relaxed. Sherman himself became lazy and indifferent. He allowed the US military to lie on the ground to rest, and implemented a harsh occupation policy on the areas he occupied. Sweeping, can be called Mustache's mentor, Sherman is a tough guy who shows no mercy to his own people, and his methods are so violent that even his subordinates can't bear it.

During the American Civil War, Sherman's troops brought great disaster to the American people. His sweeping campaign resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, displaced millions of people, and caused economic losses of up to two trillion U.S. dollars.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Davis moved Johnston up to resist Sherman. However, Johnston only had more than [-] troops. He was helpless and could only complain, "Damn it, I should have listened earlier." How good am I at fighting? Now that the situation is like this, the battle line has been thrown to me again!"

Johnston is quite pessimistic now. If it were just Sherman's American army, he might be able to block it, but there is a more well-equipped Prussian army on the opposite side. He has no confidence when facing this army.

Johnston set up a defense line against the rugged mountainous terrain. He no longer expected to be able to block the Federal Army. He only hoped to resist for a while, but the Prussian artillery was still able to penetrate his defense line. When the cannon was pulled up, the Confederates The army is about to prepare to withdraw to the second line of defense.

In just two weeks, the Union Army moved from Johnston's original position to the vicinity of Kennesaw Mountain. Hood originally wanted to launch a sudden attack and cut off Sherman's supply line, but Sherman completely ignored this matter. Sherman left only [-] men to guard the supply lines and railroads, and the remaining men launched a large-scale attack on Georgia.

Adhering to the evil three-corner policy of killing them all, looting them all, and burning them all, Sherman's army marched more than 460 kilometers in more than a month, destroying plantations, towns, villages, factories, and factories in the South along the way. enterprise.

Sherman even said in front of the city he destroyed, "We must remove and destroy every obstacle, kill every man, take every inch of land, confiscate every property as we deem it necessary, we must be ruthless I want to destroy everything we see, I want to make the whole state of Georgia howl like ghosts, I want to make the whole of Georgia a hell, I want to make all the people in the southern rebel states feel unforgettable pain."

As Sherman's army advanced, it completely destroyed all material facilities wherever it went, robbed civilians of food and property, killed resisting civilians, burned farmland, bombed villages, blocked wells with lime, destroyed railroads, Town after town was robbed and expelled, and town after town burned.

At first, Manteuffel only thought that Sherman would stop after burning Atlanta, but it didn't happen at all. He succeeded in making every southern resident feel scared when they saw him and heard his name.

Around October, the Prussian army cooperated with Sherman's troops to attack Savannah. As before, the U.S.-Prussian forces easily entered Savannah, defeated Hood's remaining defenders, and successfully divided them. To the east and west of the Confederate States, the giant dumplings were completed.

Of course, even Savannah could not escape Sherman's clutches. It was burned to ashes by Sherman, with not a single tile left. The British reporters who followed the Prussian army to support the United States saw Sherman's cruel methods. , lamented, "If the British army captured American cities, they would never do such a thing."

In the second Anglo-American War, the United States expanded northward and attacked British Canada. As a result, it was beaten up by the British army in the north and was beaten all the way to Washington. At that time, the British army only burned the White House.

When the time came to November, the Confederate Army was at the end of its rope and could no longer fight. The front line contributed a lot, and the role of the rear cannot be ignored. After seeing Prussia’s strong individual combat capabilities, Lincoln decided to accept Prussia’s Military industrial enterprises entered the United States. In just two months, Prussian military factories produced [-] rifles and more than [-] cannons for the US military.

The military-industrial enterprises were monopolized by the Prussian government, and the money flowed into the Prussian treasury, stopping losses for the Prussian government, which had been losing money.

Not only does the U.S. Army purchase weapons from military factories, but the American people also buy some weapons for self-defense, which can make a small profit.

The federal army had taken control of southern Virginia, and Sherman's army of 6 men unexpectedly attacked the North and South Carolina from Savannah. Sherman's troops, moving through the Carolinas, once again began destroying Confederate resources, advancing directly into the rear of Robert Lee's Army and damaging Confederate morale.

Next came the final war. Sherman's next step was to attack Columbia. As long as this place was captured, the Confederate army would be at its wits end.
