Chapter 69 I Want to Join the Army of the Civil War
"Tony, you, your novel is so accurate!" That morning, Brian suddenly found Tangning in a panic and said to him.
"What is the correct writing?" Tangning asked confused.
Brian glanced left and right, then leaned closer and whispered: "According to the news I got from Montgomery, eleven slave states, including Louisiana and Virginia, will secede from the Union and form the Confederate States. This is not true.
Is it the same as what you wrote in "Gone with the Wind"?"
Although Tangning had known that this would happen, she was still very shocked and asked, "Is this news true or false? Today is not April 1st!"
"Oh, how can I still be in the mood to make this kind of April Fool's Day joke with you right now! Once the war breaks out, if Atlanta and New Orleans are burned to the ground as you wrote, what will we do?" Brian said worriedly.
replied.
"If you are sure that there will be a war, then hurry up and sell the manors, cotton fields and black slaves, and then take refuge in London!" Tangning suggested.
But then he said: "But what I'm worried about is that you are not the only one who knows the news, so no one may dare to buy black slaves and manors at this time, and such a big deal is not that easy to close. Those who have the strength can take it."
The man who owns all the Clark family's cotton fields."
Before Tangning could finish her words, Brian added: "And someone who can afford the Clark family must have a channel to know about this news, so even if he can afford it, he wouldn't dare to buy it at this time!"
"Yes, that's the truth!" Tang Ning nodded in agreement.
"Is there no other way?" Brian asked with a frown.
Tangning thought for a moment and then replied: "Of course there is a way!" Then she raised a finger and said: "The first thing is to pray that the news is not true. Even if the news is true, pray that there will be no war!"
"What if there's a war?" Brian asked.
"That's the second way. Don't worry about these estates, cotton fields and the like. Take the certificates of land estates and cash and take refuge in London before reaching New Orleans! Anyway, these things can't escape. Wait until the war.
You can still have a chance to take it back later!" Tang Ning explained.
"The land and manor are indeed what you said, but what about the black slaves? I can't take hundreds of black slaves to London, but if I leave them here, they will definitely run away!" Brian asked again
.
Tangning replied casually: "This is easy to handle. We can send it to Brazil and sell it slowly with Nicole's help. Anyway, there are a lot of cotton fields there, and the demand for black slaves has always been huge!"
Hearing what Tangning said, Brian immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a good idea!" and then praised: "No wonder Tony, you anticipated these situations and didn't panic at all. It turned out that you had already thought of a solution.
So, help me make an appointment with Mrs. Murphy tonight, and I want to have a good talk with her!"
"There is no problem with this, but one thing I have to remind you is that Nicole makes a clear distinction between love and career. Even if she helps me sell black slaves on my behalf, she will still charge a fee!" Tangning reminded.
Brian replied without hesitation: "Even if you don't say it, I will mention it. After all, how can you let Mrs. Murphy help in vain?"
Although Brian and Nicole reached an agreement that night, neither Brian nor Nicole nor Tangning took immediate action because everyone still held on to the hope that war would not come! And even if
If the war starts, it won't reach New Orleans so soon, so it's not too late to evacuate!
But clear news came a week later. Eleven southern states including North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, South Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas
The slave states seceded from the Union and established an independent Confederate state, with its capital in Richmond, Virginia, and Jefferson-Hamilton-Davis serving as interim presidents. (Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia, etc.
Five slave states remained in the Union)
The only difference is that the shelling of Fortress Amut, the trigger of the Civil War, did not occur, but the Northern Army initiated the Civil War to safeguard the unity of the United States. In other words, it was not the Southern Army but the Northern Army that provoked the civil war this time.
Just as Tangning started transporting black slaves to Brazil, Maxi suddenly found Tangning and said to him with a serious face: "Tony, I'm going to join the army, and Danina will have to ask you to take care of her for a while!"
"What?! You said you were going to join the army?" Tangning couldn't believe her ears.
Maxi nodded and replied: "Yes, not only me, but also Kimmel, Dorsey, Coleman and Cao Luo!" Then he smiled and said: "Of course, I also know that you
This guy will definitely not join the army!"
"But Paul, have you really thought about it clearly? This is going to be a war, and people will die!" Tang Ning advised.
Unexpectedly, Maxi replied calmly: "I know, but those Yang guys are about to come to the door. Can I still watch the whole New Orleans fall into flames like what you wrote in your novel? I
Really can't do it!
Even the naughty Rhett Butler in your novel ended up joining the army. Even if I am usually a bit ridiculous, I have to stand up at times like this!
Because my father taught me to be a knight since I was a child, and now it’s time for Knight Maxi to defend our homeland!”
In fact, whether it was the American Civil War or the First World War, there were many aristocratic children who came forward to join the army and went to war. This can be seen in "Gone with the Wind" and "Downton Abbey", among which
Most of the men have gone to the battlefield!
Although Tang Ning had made up her mind never to go to the battlefield from the day she confirmed that she had traveled through time, and she felt that she had already made her own contribution to the war, such as inciting Booth to assassinate Lincoln and successfully delaying the war for more than a year.
The time, and the private goods stuffed in "Gone with the Wind" should also serve as a warning, but now hearing Maxi's bold words, Tang Ning still felt a little ashamed. Of course, no matter how ashamed he was, he would not
Going to the battlefield, after all, life is the first priority
