"Confederate General William Tecumseh Sherman inhumanely ordered the burning of Atlanta, knowing that there were still more than 100,000 unarmed civilians in the city. Countless elderly people and children were wailing in the sea of fire.
!
Not to mention that all of us in Atlanta are our compatriots, we are all Americans. Even if we are facing enemies, we should not commit such evil acts against humanity!"
"Kill them all, burn them all, and rob them all! This is the three-light policy implemented by General Sherman!"
""I just want to make the whole state of Georgia howl with ghosts and wolves!
I just want to make all of Georgia a hell!
I just want all Georgians, men, women, old and young, rich and poor, to feel the unforgettable pain!"
I just want the southerners and their descendants to learn an unforgettable lesson: never dare to want independence again! Never dare to resort to war!"
Look, everyone, is this what people say? I am ashamed that Sherman and I are both Americans!"
""
Seeing these sensational words in the tabloid, Sherman angrily tore up the newspaper and roared: "Who deserves to go to hell is a rumor! When have I ever said or done this?
thing?!"
In fact, these were indeed rumors, and they were made by Tang Ning. However, he really thought it was true at first. It was not until he learned more about the Civil War that he learned that it was a widely circulated rumor.
, but this does not prevent Tangning from using this matter to attack Sherman. This confirms Lao Guo's famous saying, "The person who wronged you knows more about how wronged you are than you do."
The presidential envoy on the side smiled bitterly and said: "General Sherman, of course we know that these are rumors spread by those Confederate spies, but the problem is that now this matter has a great response among the people, especially since you are indeed
The fire burned the city of Atlanta, so it was really hard to explain to the people.”
Before the special envoy could finish speaking, Sherman interrupted: "There is no explanation for this. The scorched-earth policy I implemented was only to destroy the war potential of the Confederate army. My target was those factories. Farmland has never been people."
, this is not a secret, there is nothing that cannot be said!"
The presidential envoy explained: "Of course you can say it, but it is difficult to gain the trust of the people. So what the President and General Grant mean is that you, General, were injured some time ago and take this opportunity to go back and recuperate!"
Sherman waved his hand without hesitation and said: "If I don't go back, wouldn't it mean that if I go back, I will be convinced that I have done these things?"
"But if you don't go back, it will be really difficult to deal with these public opinions. The opposition to the civil war is already very loud. If they continue to use this rumor,"
Sherman interrupted the envoy again: "I don't care, I won't go back anyway, and I am very determined. This is the best way to deal with the Southerners!"
While the two were arguing, Tangning, the instigator of this incident, said to Nicole next to her with a sigh of relief: "I have discovered that neither London nor New York is as comfortable as here!"
"Of course, we, the manor owners, are most comfortable staying in the manor!" Nicole said proudly.
"How is business this year?" Tang Ning asked again.
"It's not bad, because we are fighting a war there, so all those British businessmen followed us!"
But then he changed the topic and said: "But Egypt has taken away a lot of business. I guess even if we can win this battle, the British will not buy so much cotton from us in the future, because in the past
In recent years, many people have been really cruel to these British businessmen. They could not replace our cotton at that time. Now there is Egyptian cotton. Although the quality is a little worse than ours, it is cheaper!"
"You don't have to think about this. I guess there's a high probability that we won't be able to go back!" Tang Ning shook her head and sighed.
"We really can't go back?" Nicole asked with a frown.
"It doesn't mean that I can't go back, but even if I can go back, I can't buy slaves to grow cotton!" Tang Ning explained.
"In that case, how about you build a manor here? There is plenty of space in Brazil now!" Nicole suggested.
Tangning thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, I think growing cotton is too hard. Besides, this is not New Orleans after all. I'd better wait until after the war to go to New York. It's easier to make money there. I'll wait until I miss you or miss this place."
I will come to Brazil again when I can live a rural life!"
"For you, it is indeed easy to make money in New York, but I can't stand that kind of place where horse manure is everywhere!" Nicole said, covering her nose.
"It won't be like this in a few years!" Tang Ning reassured.
"Oh? Why?" Nicole asked curiously.
Downing explained: "A lot of people have been digging for oil in Pennsylvania and Cleveland in the past two years. You know, right? In the future, transportation using oil as raw material will be invented. By then, people will no longer have to ride horse-drawn carriages, so New York will not
There will be horse manure everywhere again!”
"Are you so sure about this?" Nicole asked suspiciously.
Tangning nodded and replied: "Of course, and I have already invested in an oil refinery that John and Morris, who used to help me in New York, are now opening in Cleveland!"
Because Rockefeller had met Nicole when he came to New Orleans, Nicole was very surprised and asked: "John is going to Cleveland to open an oil refinery. What will happen to your business in New York? Tony, how can you agree to his resignation?"
Tangning smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to agree, but you have seen John. How can he be a person who is willing to work for a long time? So it is better to let him go. And don't worry about the business in New York, I have sent Shi
Stevens took over, and with his cleverness, it was so easy to install the lights. In addition, I gave him a task, which was to research automatic fire extinguishers!"
Although Tang Ning's original plan was to send Maxim to Robert E. Lee to develop weapons. After all, this is the destination of a weapons master. Unexpectedly, Maxim refused because he didn't like to study such murderous things.
, which left Tangning speechless and helpless. Rockefeller happened to resign, so Tangning sent Maxim to New York to take over.
As for letting Maxim research automatic fire extinguishers, Tang Ning remembered that it was his first pot of gold earned from the patent of automatic fire extinguishers, so the success rate should be very high.
