Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner: Chapter 77 "The Dehumanizing Sherman"

"Federal Admiral William Turksey Sherman, knowing that there were still more than 100,000 unarmed civilians in Atlanta, ordered the city of Atlanta to be set on fire inhumanely, and countless old people and children were crying in the sea of ​​​​fire!

Not to mention that the city of Atlanta are all our compatriots, all Americans, even in the face of the enemy, should not do such evil deeds against humanity! "

"Kill all, burn all, rob all! This is the three-light policy implemented by General Sherman!"

"I just want to make the whole state of Georgia cry.

I just want to make all of Georgia hell

I just want all Georgians, men and women, young and old, poor and rich, to feel unforgettable pain."

I just want to teach the Southerners and their children and grandchildren an unforgettable lesson to never dare to seek independence and never to resort to war.”

Let's see, is this what people say? I'm ashamed to be American with Sherman! "

"..."

Seeing these sensational words in the tabloids, Sherman tore up the newspaper angrily and roared: "This is a rumor made by a guy who deserves to go to hell! When did I say this kind of thing, did this kind of thing? thing?!"

In fact, these were indeed rumors, and they were rumors made by Tangning, but at first he really thought it was true, until he learned more about the Civil War and learned that it was a very widely circulated rumor. , but this does not affect Tangning's use of this matter to attack Sherman, which confirms Lao Guo's famous saying, "The person who wronged you knows more than you how wronged you are..."

The presidential envoy on the side said with a wry smile: "General Sherman, of course we know that these are all rumors made by spies of the Confederate Army, but the problem is that this matter has a great response from the public, especially if you really do. The city of Atlanta is on fire, so it's really hard to explain to the people..."

Before the 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, and my goal was that those factories and farmland were never people. , this is not a secret, there is nothing to say!"

The special envoy of the President explained: "Of course it is possible to say it, but it is difficult to gain the trust of the people, so the President and General Grant mean that you were injured a while ago, General, so take this opportunity to go back to recuperate!"

Sherman waved his hand without hesitation and said, "I'm not going back, doesn't my return mean that I've done these things?"

"But if you don't go back, these public opinions will be really difficult to deal with. The voice against the civil war is very high now. If they repeatedly use this rumor..."

Sherman interrupted the envoy again: "I don't care, I won't go back anyway, and I'm very firm, this is the best way to deal with the southerners!"

While the two were arguing, Tangning, who was the initiator of the incident, said to Nicole beside her with emotion, "I found out that neither London nor New York is as comfortable here!"

"Of course, we manor owners are still the most comfortable in the manor!" Nicole said proudly.

"How's the business this year?" Tangning asked again.

"It's not bad, because we were fighting over there, so those British businessmen followed!"

But then the conversation changed and he said: "But Egypt has stolen 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 the former In recent years, many people have been too cruel to these British businessmen. At that time, they did not have cotton that could replace us. Now we have Egyptian cotton. Although the quality is a little worse than ours, they are cheap!"

"You don't have to think about this, I guess we probably won't be able to go back!" Tangning shook her head and sighed.

"We really can't go back?" Nicole asked with a frown.

"It can't be said that you can't go back, but even if you can go back, you won't be able to buy slaves to grow cotton!" Tangning explained.

"In that case, why don't you build a manor here? Anyway, there are places in Brazil!" Nicole suggested.

Tangning thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, I think it's really hard to grow cotton, and 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, wait until I miss you or miss this place. I'll come back to Brazil when I'm in the countryside!"

"For you, New York is indeed easy to make money, but I can't stand the kind of place where horse dung is everywhere!" Nicole said, covering her nose.

"It won't be like this in a few years!" Tangning reassured.

"Oh? Why?" Nicole asked curiously.

Tangning explained, "In Pennsylvania and Cleveland, a lot of people have been digging for oil in the past two years, you know? In the future, oil-based transportation will be invented, and people will no longer have to ride horse-drawn carriages, so New York will not be able to. There will be horse manure all over the place 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, which John and Morris, who used to help me in New York, are now in Cleveland!"

Because Rockefeller met Nicole when he came to New Orleans, Nicole asked in surprise: "John went to Cleveland to open an oil refinery. What about your business in New York? How can you agree to his resignation, Tony?"
