Emperor* took the train to the vicinity of Atlanta. Naturally, they could not get there directly by train. After all, there was Grant and the most powerful military force of the United States. A big battle...

Nothing!

When the empire's army got off the train thirty kilometers away from Atlanta, assembled, and then set off and rushed outside the city of Atlanta with both legs, the super battle they had expected could not be fought at all!

Because there is nothing, nothing, and even the city of Atlanta is gone!

In front of the Emperor* soldiers, it was not a city at all, but a huge fire that had been burned. Everyone could see that the fire was now extinguished, and all that was left was black smoke and ashes drifting with the wind.

It’s not yet October, but the autumn wind is already very strong. Perhaps because this is a highland, such a wind makes people feel cold!

Emperor ** has such a judgment, that is, Atlanta is gone and it is captured by Grant, so...

How is the South? Is there any value for rescue?

Yes, isn’t our empire here just to understand the Confederacy? But now that Atlanta is like this, isn’t the South just open? Will they…

"What's going on?! What's wrong with this place?! Why is this happening in this place?!" There was a person who didn't care about such a long-term thing at all now. He just shouted at the ruins in front of him. This person was His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire.

"Your Majesty! Please calm down your anger."

"His Majesty!"

Okashi and Wufeng, the old Taoist, saw His Majesty the Emperor so angry and had some crazy attitude. They were all numb and didn't know what to do.

"Tell me! What's going on?! Didn't Grant be here a few days ago? Isn't Atlanta still not falling? What's going on now?! Say!" Li Mengyang's eyes were red and he was so big that he wanted to eat people.

"Your Majesty! This..."

"Your Majesty! We'll wait..."

These generals have been studying how to fight Grant recently. The information they obtained is no different from His Majesty the Emperor. Everyone is on the train. How much difference can it be?

So, they didn't know, but at this time.

"Your Majesty!" Yang Weili came over there, "The latest telegram. Also, we found some locals."

The expression on Yang Willie's face was a little strange. What happened to this Atlanta and that Grant?

Li Mengyang snatched the telegram and saw it saying it.

"Grant broke Atlanta. After burning the city, he retreated to the north."

Just a few words, it is obvious that this is the latest information. Yang Weili from there saw that it was almost done, so he told the news he just got.

"According to the surviving locals, Grant's army broke the city five days ago, and then set fire to burn nothing in Atlanta. They drove out all the dead. Three days ago, the United Zha retreated. They did not go east, but went north, and they were also taking the train."

After hearing what Yang Willie said, Li Mengyang certainly understood everything.

The current intelligence speed is just like this, it can't be fast. Moreover, Li Mengyang's intelligence network is mainly about investigating trivial matters. This intelligence seems to be from the railway company, so the speed is still fast.

"Is it three days late?" Li Mengyang didn't think much about anything else now. In fact, this telegram and the oral statements from local people have already revealed a lot of things.

What is in front of us now is the decision Grant made. That is, not only did he not come to fight Emperor ** head-on, but he also did not hold on to wait for support after defeating Atlanta.

You know, Atlanta is a highland, and the Southern Army built a lot of trenches before, which was just right to use, but Grant didn't do that. He just pulled the team back.

So, what was Grant's idea? Or how did he talk to Washington?

It's very simple. In fact, after Grant learned that Vicksburg Sherman lost a big loss, he told Washington directly that we have to go back without saying a word!

Yes, in fact, Grant doesn't even want to fight Atlanta anymore because he can't.

Judging from the current situation, after Vicksburg fell, the west side of Grant would be like a wide open door. If you want to fight, you can only block the Appalachian Mountains, which can be guarded there, but how easy is it to guard this place?

It takes time to repair fortifications? It takes time to transport troops?

But where is the time?

There was a railway in Vicksburg. Some were destroyed before, but it was later built. Because it needed to transport troops, Mead's Topomac Legion had to go there. The most important thing is that these railways were not actually in the hands of the military, nor even in the hands of Washington.

The railway was blown up?

How to fry it? Where to fry it? Will your opponent be stupid and let you fry them?

It is easy to think about many things, but it is unrealistic to do it. Just say that the railway is bombed, and those capitalists are the first to refuse to agree.

Therefore, Grant is actually very clear that to deal with Emperor **, he can only fight in Vicksburg. It is precisely because of this that he supported Sherman so much. On the one hand, he felt that Sherman had a correct vision, just like himself, and in addition, he actually had no other way. It was Grant who withstood the pressure from Washington.

If he continues to stay here, although Grant has a 100,000 army in his hands, everyone can see that he is equivalent to being trapped in the middle by the American Empire and the American Alliance!

He was naturally unable to get attacked from both sides, so he wanted to run away. He was going to Washington to defend. This move was actually very comprehensive.

However, Washington disagrees, they want shame!

If you Grant is back like this, how can the Lincoln government explain to the people of the north?!

Explanation? It must be explained, because when is it now?

In 1868, it was the election year again, and the civil war had not been over yet. As a result, the American Empire came again and a large amount of land was conquered. How could the Lincoln administration explain to its voters?

Didn’t Lincoln be the president for two terms? He should have gone there, right?

The reason is that, but now the Lincoln administration is preparing to make a bill that allows Lincoln to continue as the "war president".

Don’t say anything, Li Mengyang knows this, so his intelligence network will naturally not let go of such information.

But if this bill is to pass, then your Lincoln administration has to give voters a satisfactory answer, right? It has to give those members of parliament to have a reason?

So. Now Washington is under great political pressure. To be precise, it is the pressure of elections. It is almost October, and it is not long before the election. If the presidential bill cannot be passed during the war, then Lincoln has stepped down. Now the country is fighting, and another leader is changing?

Everyone knows that it shouldn't be replaced, and Grant also knows, so what does it take.

What to do?

Grant concentrated his superior forces, and they made a powerful breakthrough with a thunderous momentum at the Atlanta defense!

In fact, Grant did not have much hope for this combat plan because he had used it before. They had not tried it, but this time it was successful!

What is the reason?

The Southerners really couldn't stand it anymore. They had been holding on for too long and were quite capable of supplies, but they were really tired, both physically and psychologically.

This attack is the last straw that broke the camel's back!

Grant was also a little surprised, but the result of this battle is good. It can be explained to Washington. It can also make the congressmen and voters happy. It is quite good.

But is this Atlanta? Let's just attack?

Burn! Kill! Grab!

This is all spontaneous and it is difficult for you to restrain yourself. But Grant's army does not have much time.

A hundred thousand troops, even if the train transports troops quickly, how many days will it take to load the train?

Fortunately, because I was going to run, I had actually packed a lot of things before, and it was loaded into the car.

So in just three days, Grant ran away. If he didn't leave and wanted to defend Atlanta, he would be surrounded and he was not so stupid.

But when I arrived at this place, Atlanta, the most important goal at this stage, did Li Mengyang just want to lift the siege of the south?

"Follow me to the city! Find me! Find that newspaper, "Women's Power"!" Li Mengyang ignored it. He had only one goal in his heart, that is, to find Eleanor!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Come on!"

"Scout! Come on! What are you waiting for?"

His Majesty the Emperor took the lead, so where can the others sit?

"God! Ye Ge! The Supreme Laojun! Tathagata Buddha! Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!...I didn't believe you before, but if I could find her this time, if you could keep her alive... Well, it would be fine to let me see a corpse... I will cultivate a golden body for you, how do you think?"

Anyone who is close to Li Mengyang can hear His Majesty muttering these strange things in his mouth...

"Finally found! It's here!"

Atlanta is a big city, but after the baptism of war, it is not too old and it takes less time. The soldiers of the empire found the newspaper of the Women's Power.

It was a brand that was burned with only one word left, but the word was a newspaper. There was no other newspaper in Atlanta.

"alert!"

"Quick!"

The newspaper was underground, so naturally many soldiers rushed in to see if there was any danger.

"Start up!" Li Mengyang didn't care about other people's pulling. He knew that everyone was doing it for his own good, but he was anxious.

"Your Majesty! There is nothing." The soldiers of the Empire went in first and saw nothing.

Li Mengyang soon went in and saw nothing, and then smelled a strong smell of burning things. Obviously, it was too hot here.

"Your Majesty, it seems that some manuscripts were burned!"

"Your Majesty, printing machinery..."

The soldiers came to report, but Li Mengyang only had one word.

"try to find!"

What are you looking for? Of course, I just found someone, but can I find someone?

"Your Majesty! There is something in this wall!"

"Bring it!"

I saw a soldier bringing a notebook over. Li Mengyang was shocked at the time. Then he had never had any situation and trembled with this notebook over...
Chapter completed!
