Chapter 354 Closed-door meeting in Richmond!

When I have to spend this difficult ten hours in New York, Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, is also a bit difficult at this time. Now there is one thing that the Southern government needs to make an important decision!

The meeting started in the Richmond Congress building from the morning to the evening, and it was a closed-door meeting. However, the service staff in the entire Congress building saw that almost all the important figures in the South, political, military, and even business people, came. The closed-door meeting was so large, and it was a ghost!

The key is that the meeting has been held for so long and has not been completed yet!

In other words, there has not been a result of the discussion, so what are these guys discussing?

"Gentlemen! Please allow me to tell the true situation of our Southern Army again. After so many years of civil war, I, as a general, rarely see the veterans of the past, the soldiers who have devoted themselves to this great war to defend their homes since the beginning of the civil war. Moreover, my student Stuart, and General Thomas Jackson, who is well-known to everyone, and many heroic, great, and extremely respectful heroes were sacrificed!"

General Robert Li, the supreme military commander of the Confederacy, was on the podium in the venue, facing the southern states, and there seemed to be few states. Anyway, they were these well-known figures. Robert Li was giving a passionate speech. When he talked about this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and tears burst out in his eyes. However, as a soldier, Robert Li still straightened his back.

"Gentlemen! I said this not to win everyone's sympathy! We are soldiers and are proud to die on the battlefield! But! This war has killed too many people, and they could have had a different life. Now, the situation of the army is indeed not good. Most of our soldiers are forced to recruit... Please allow me to use this word, because this is quite civilized... As for food and clothing... If you have time, you can go and see what the Southern Army is in now! And I cannot blame their military appearance.

I believe no one can do this! Even so, it is rare for them to persist, but there are troubles in weapons! The weapons we used before were actually things that were eliminated by the empire. Now they say that that kind of thing is no longer produced and many parts are lacking supply, which directly causes our combat effectiveness to decline! There are many other problems. These problems, my head coach cannot solve now, and in such a situation, do we still have to fight with that empire?"

When Robert Lee finally said that, he naturally returned to the state that the Southern Military God should have, but in his last sentence, it was also a lot of topics.

That’s right, today’s closed-door meeting is about where the Confederacy will go!

So, what are the responses that everyone present here after Robert Lee’s speech?

"Well said!"

"Yes! That's it!"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...

This place in the United States is an immigrant country, so there are all kinds of customs, such as those who slapped the table, which is agreeable to the expression, and applauding is the same. Don’t think that this is against it, but there is no objection?

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

There were also a lot of booing. Although there were not many people who applauded and slapped the table, there were also a lot of them. Moreover, one of these people also stood up and he wanted to give a speech!

"General Robert Lee! I should obey your command in military positions! But that is on the battlefield! But now, I must make a statement against you!"

The general spoke very aggressively, and this sentence immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of some generals in the army!

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

As the Supreme Commander, Robert Lee naturally has many forces in the Southern Army, such as James Longstreet, the commander of the First Army. Although this guy also had some complaints about the veteran general, now, Longstreet still has to support Robert Lee.

It should be said that the older generals who are qualified support Robert Lee. Because these individuals have fought for so many years, how could they hope to continue fighting? It would be very fatal to fight the Yankees, and now they still have to fight against that empire?

That empire is now beating the Yankees like they are destroying themselves!

So, the qualified general is like this. If you say so, the person who is giving a speech now must not be a qualified general?

"Nathan! You militant!"

"General Forrest! Please respect our infantry! We don't have horses like you! When fighting, we are fighting against the enemy!"

"Hahaha……"

Not only shit, there are some ridicule, but... this person's name is also released, Nathan Forrest?

Yes, that's it. If Li Mengyang, a time traveler, was also in the closed-door conference room, then he would definitely think of a movie, a movie that had nothing to do with the Civil War, which was "Forrest Gump"!

Is this too easy? How could I think of that movie?

It’s very simple, isn’t Forrest Gump called Forrest?

Forrest Gump's name is related to this general, and the most famous thing about this general has nothing to do with Forrest Gump. The most famous thing about this Nathan Forrest is that he established the "Three Klans"!

That's right, it's him!

Let’s talk about Forrest. He was also a veteran in the Civil War, because he joined the army at the beginning of the Civil War, and soon he pulled a team of troops. But he was not a soldier before. He used to be a cowboy, a successful businessman, and a slave owner!

The slave owner is still a big slave owner, so he is so active in fighting against the Yankees. Even in the original history, when the civil war ended, he started a team when he got home, and later it was the KKKK.

It's just such a person, so now he has to oppose Robert Lee, because if he doesn't fight with that empire, there's a lot of things to say here.

"Gentlemen! I have recorded all your insults to me! But now, what I want to say is the true situation in our south!" Nathan Forrest glanced at the guys who had just booed him in the conference room with his dark green eyes, which scared the people to sweat a little. Then Forrest said: "We have heard what General Robert Lee said before was from the north, the conditions that the empire put forward for our south. To be honest, I feel a little...

"Hahaha..." Many people burst into laughter!

What is this? Condition?

Robert Lee immediately said in his peaceful voice: "The little girl and that imperial emperor have known each other a long time ago, and they truly love each other. I have never concealed this! The reason I didn't tell you before is that it is entirely because the little girl is very busy and works hard for the independence of our south! Moreover, the emperor is so far away from us, and he has married several wives according to their Chinese habits. Besides, this kind of thing is completely a private matter of our family, and my rights are unfair to the public! And now, the news brought by the little girl is beneficial to our south, and can avoid the death and injury of thousands of people. Why bother with this?"

"That's right!"

“That’s exactly that!”

Robert Lee's words were reasonable, and of course there were many people supporting him. However, after Forrest pointed out such a relationship, some of the original Li's supporters felt a little hesitant.

Yes, your Robert Lee's daughter may become a royal concubine in the future. So will our daughter have this opportunity?

So, what exactly did Eleanor bring?

Forrest said: "Although the emperor offered some very attractive conditions, such as not attacking the south and maintaining the current situation, this emperor is not a good thing, and this guy is not going to recognize our Confederacy? Our national system is not there! Well, you just said that the situation is our disadvantage, and the emperor recognized our autonomy, so we can temporarily endure it. I think this can be studied, but! What is the attitude of that emperor towards slavery? He asked us to lift slavery! Is this still autonomy? Did he not interfere with us?"

Alas, don't say that Forrest's thinking is very clear, and he doesn't feel anything like Forrest Gump at all... That's right, Forrest Gump is Forrest Gump, he is him, and, this guy has gone from a cowboy to a wealthy businessman, and now he is a general. He is obviously a successful person, not an ordinary person.

However, Forrest's words pointed out a lot of things. In this way, the conditions given by the emperor Li Mengyang to the south are self-government, and this autonomy also includes one, which is the abolition of slavery. So, it seems very harsh? How can it be discussed and passed?

"Mr. Frost!" At this time, someone stood up, and was Secretary of the Navy McLaury. This guy had been staying in Florida before, but now he was no longer needed, so he naturally came back, "The things you said are completely distorting!"

Alas, I'm going to give Forres a specificity, so I'm going to speak for the Empire, this... McLaury's position has had a great relationship with the Empire before, so it seems that it's nothing to speak for the Empire Emperor... He should be a clean and honest minister, well, honest.

So, what exactly will McLaury say? (To be continued.)
