[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot
Chapter 62
It’s no wonder that Suellen would say that about Scarlett, but the truth is, because she was with her parents, and because someone took the burden on her, Scarlett didn’t change like the original book, and she was still the beloved of her parents. Her daughter still enjoys the protection of her parents; on the contrary, Suellen, who has been staying in the hospital with Marge, has grown up first, and this kind of growth can almost be said to be risking her life.
Not only because she had to face the threats of smallpox, typhoid, and pneumonia raging in the hospital, but also the bayonets and muzzles of those northern soldiers.
Atlanta was attacked, and the federal government occupied the city, but there are still tens of thousands of wounded people from the South staying in Atlanta, not only in the hospitals near the train station, but also in the corridors of those shops, in the doors of those houses. Inside the courtyard.
The shadow of death has always hung over Atlanta.
Lack of doctors, nurses, nurses, and all kinds of necessary medicines...
Not to mention, when General Sherman of the Northern Federal Government captured Atlanta, because Margot and Suellen's estate nearby had been supplying food and manpower for the hospital—because the Southern Confederate government used land to share with Margot and Suellen Lun exchanged a large amount of supplies, so that more than 80.00% of the suburbs near Atlanta belonged to the sisters (the remaining public land is now either a factory or a cemetery), and Margot is also very clear that the defeat of the South was doomed from the very beginning. , so she set up a farm in the suburbs very early on, not only producing food, but also surgical sutures made of maggot shells.
This kind of supply did not stop even after Atlanta was captured.
After General Sherman, who led the army to occupy Atlanta, got the news, his expression changed.
He said to his adjutant, "What did you say?"
The adjutant replied, "General, the two wives on the pardon, Mrs. Margaret O'Hara Clark and Mrs. Suellen O'Hara Kennedy, are not only in Macon and Jonesboro Luo owns their own super large estates, and also owns huge real estate in Atlanta. 80.00% of the land in the suburbs of Atlanta, except for those factories and cemeteries, either belong to Mrs. Kennedy or Mrs. Clark.”
General Sherman muttered at the time: "Damn the rich! Damn the owner of the big manor!"
"General?"
"Where are these two women now?"
The adjutant said: "General, they are in the hospital. Yes, they are now one of the two most important doctors in the Atlanta Field Hospital."
Can women be doctors too?The adjutant also found it incredible.It was like the first time he heard that the federal government had a huge national debt in the hands of southerners.
Poor adjutant, when he first heard that Margot, Suellen, and Rhett controlled [-]% of the national debt of the United States, he thought it was a fantasy!
Of course, he is not the only one who feels the same way.Even when Sherman heard about it for the first time, he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"I remember tens of thousands of southern wounded stranded here?"
"Yes."
"Are they still fighting?"
The adjutant immediately shook his head.
"No, General. When the South retreated, the lightly wounded who were still able to walk followed, and now the only ones left are the seriously wounded, many unconscious. They are now prisoners. Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Kennedy are using My property in the suburbs of Atlanta supports these people. Their niggers are the nurses who tend these people, yes, nurses, that's the word."
"Care workers?"
"Yes. According to those people, the one who can go to the operating table to operate a knife for the wounded is a doctor, the one who can't use a knife but is a doctor's assistant is a nurse, and the nurse's assistant is a nurse. That's what those black people said. And a couple of big Negroes carrying dead bodies."
Following the adjutant's finger, General Sherman saw from a distance several big black men carrying one white man after another away with the door panels.Although it is a bit far away, the stiff lines and ominous colors are telling people the price of this war.
Yes, in 1862, Atlanta was already a medical base in the South. In July 1864, two months ago, the situation of the war changed drastically. The army of the Northern Federal Government was pressing every step of the way. The line transports tens of thousands of wounded people every day, and Atlanta's hospitals have long been unable to accommodate so many wounded people, so that those wounded have to groan in the corridors of nearby shops or in the courtyards of other people's houses| Groan, waiting for that possibility can almost be said to be a slim cure.
At this time in Atlanta, it is not an exaggeration to say that "the wounded are already full".
When General Sherman captured the city, the city was already filled with the smell of corpses.
Hearing these two names, General Sherman immediately remembered the president's repeated instructions. He was silent for a while before he said: "Keep an eye on them, those two women, and their black slaves. The two women and their property. They have the president's amnesty." As he spoke, General Sherman couldn't help muttering: "Damn politicians!"
There is definitely a reason why General Sherman would say that.
Here are some dry goods from the Civil War era.At the beginning of this war, the population of the north was larger than that of the south. In terms of population, the north had an absolute advantage, that is to say, it was almost twice the population of the south.
This also led to a very intuitive result: the strength of the North has always been more than twice that of the South.
……
……
……
Although the northern industry has a solid foundation, at the beginning, the level of military industry in the north was not high, and there was even fear that the shipyard would fall into the hands of the south (at that time, almost everyone thought that Britain and France would stand in the south Here—for cheap cotton.) chooses to burn his docks,
Although it is said that the South stored a large amount of arms at the beginning of the war, and other industries in the South were underdeveloped, but because of the idea of declaring war early in the morning, the South attached great importance to the military industry from the very beginning.
It can be said that the South had been preparing for war for several years before the declaration of war.
In the beginning, the reason why the North lost successive battles was because the South had many excellent officers, while in the North, a large number of politicians occupied the positions of officers...
In other words, the South has carefully prepared for this war for ten years, and many officers have also joined the South. In contrast, the Northern Federal Government has an absolute advantage in terms of strength and potential, but many senior generals in the army Positions are taken by politicians.
This directly led to the serious consequences of the defeat of the Northern Federal Government in the early stages of the war. Of course, another result was that, under the influence of those politicians and colleagues, the generals of the Northern Federal Government were not political idiots.
General Sherman knew well what it meant to be two wives from upper-class Southern families.
Just exclude the large amount of northern national debt in the hands of these two ladies, and see these two ladies staying in the hospital with a risky spirit, regardless of the smallpox, pneumonia, typhoid fever raging in the hospital, and the fall of Atlanta. Inside, General Sherman couldn't do anything to the two ladies.
Whether it is the South or the North, this kind of dedication is highly respected.
Not to mention, these two wives also have the president's amnesty.
When the adjutant heard the president's amnesty order, he couldn't help but said: "General, is it true that the federal government has so many national debts in the hands of these two women?"
"Not only these two women, but also their agent, Rhett Butler, if this man hadn't joined the army, he should be in this city!"
Sherman couldn't help recalling his meeting with President Lincoln.
That's right, at that time Sherman also felt that his ears were hallucinating, or that the president had gone crazy.At that time, seeing the president and the bankers nodding and looking at the documents, Sherman and his colleagues felt that the world was too crazy.
But what can be done?It is better for the national debt to be in the hands of the southerners than in the hands of the British.
Sherman would not like to see America become another France.
"Implement military control over Atlanta, impose martial law on the hospital and Peachtree Street, manage the soldiers below, and don't allow them to go to these places, let alone harass those white women! There are black women in Atlanta, as well as prostitutes..."
In the end, General Sherman sent military doctors to verify the situation of the Atlanta hospital. While the city of Atlanta was under military control, the hospital and its surrounding areas were tripled in strength and strict precautions were taken.
Of course, this approach made the atmosphere in Atlanta unprecedentedly tense.
Probably because a large number of refugees fled (after all, even Mrs. Whiting, one of the three pillars, left Atlanta for Macon), and the number of residents in the city has dropped to the lowest level since the beginning of the war. You must know that in this war, the situation in the South It took a sharp turn, but the city of Atlanta got an excellent opportunity to flourish. The small city with a population of only 2 people has been fully developed because of its location in a transportation hub. Although the remaining white families did not leave, they also hid behind the curtains. From behind, he stared at General Sherman and his army who had just entered the city with guard and vigilance, as if the blacks under General Sherman would rush into their homes at any time with the support of General Sherman and the Northern Federal Government to insult them The same as the female relatives.
Well, this kind of thing isn't said in women's ears, but the few men left in town (they're all crippled, like Gerald with a leg missing, or simply lost a hand, so they can't go to the battlefield) are cleaning their guns, planning to teach those "Yankee niggers" who dare to break into their homes a lesson.
It can be said that when General Sherman entered the city, the atmosphere in Atlanta was unprecedentedly tense.
It was at this time—in fact, just a few days after Melanie gave birth—that Margot planned to see General Sherman.
Suellen didn't agree with anything, and finally Dr. Meade said that he should let the old man go.
This is Southern chivalry.The chivalry that the north has abandoned still remains in the hearts of the southerners.
Margot couldn't compete with this respectable old man, so she had to let him bring the letter of proposal.
I don't know what Dr. Meade went through in the end, and Dr. Meade didn't mention it, but the hospital survived anyway. Sherman didn't let his military doctors enter the Atlanta Hospital, but he sent a lot of Atlanta morning doctors. Drugs that are not seen, such as quinine and opium.
Although the number is not very large, it also helped Atlanta Hospital a lot.
Of course, Sherman's troops also used a lot of medical gauze, medical bandages, medical alcohol, and of course, food.Of course, Sherman couldn't pay the bill, and the black men under Margot were very stubborn. They didn't let Sherman's quartermaster take the things away until Sherman's quartermaster agreed to record and sign the bill.
This caused the quartermasters to murmur behind their backs: "These niggers! They're just like watchdogs!"
This is also what the white people in the federal government army don't understand the most.
Isn't it clearly written in "Uncle Tom's Cabin"?Why are these niggers still so loyal to those southerners?
But if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. They still have a lot to do, and they don’t have the time to do ideological work for these black people.
After fighting this way, these white people have long known that among the black slaves in the south, there are also classes, divided into rough black slaves who work in the cotton fields, and senior black slaves who serve in the house.
For these Negroes, it was a very honorable thing to be chosen as the valet and valet of the master.Those rough blacks may go with them, but those high-level black slaves, especially those blacks who work as personal servants or personal maids, they seldom follow them. On the contrary, these blacks have a very close relationship with their masters. Deep, even if the master dies, they will continue to follow the master's heirs, and some will simply live and die with the master.
Seeing this kind of black people, white people in the north will always sigh, thinking that these black people have been completely brainwashed.But in their hearts, it may not have left a deep impression, and their attitude towards the upper-class people in the south is also very complicated.
This is a very wonderful state of mind, and its principle is probably very close to the worship of nobles and royal families.
Of course, none of this matters right now.The important thing is that an important event happened at this time that was unexpected by everyone but had such a profound significance that it changed the battlefield situation again.
For a long time the soldiers of the Northern Federal government had been eyeing the Atlanta hospital, its staff, and the Negro women near it.
Just like the female writer who wrote the sequel "Scarlett" of "Gone with the Wind" said in "Scarlett", men who come down from the battlefield always hope to use |sex| to prove them Still alive, there is a similar saying in the East, seven years in the army, a sow competes with Diaochan.
For the soldiers of the Northern Union government, the black women are so stupid, just a few kind words, a few free "give you clothes and gold earrings", those black women, especially those black girls They will go with them. Of course, although these black girls are not military|prostitutes, in fact, what they bear is no different from military|prostitutes.
The stories of soldiers|prostitutes, Margot once revealed to the people around her.The black maids have not read any books, but they have to say that their memory is very good, and it is true, the history of the ancient oriental country, so the black maids of O'Hara Manor have a lot of discussions behind their backs. , and this kind of discussion, with the beginning of the war and the marriage of the two sisters Marge Suelen, was brought to Barton Manor and Rose Manor...
And more than half of the existing black people in Atlanta are either under Margot or under Suellen.
That is to say, the rhetoric of the Yankee officers and soldiers, as well as their subsequent irresponsibility and ruthlessness, were clear to the black people in Atlanta.
The soldiers of the federal government never expected that the black women in Atlanta would not accept their tricks.
Yes, when these soldiers made such promises to those black girls, what they got was not ecstatic faces, but sneering arrogant eyes.
These black girls would rather be exhausted in the hospital with Margot and Suellen than go with them, let alone have sex.
The methods that the soldiers of the Northern Union government had used everywhere were of no use in Atlanta.
In fact, this was the first time they encountered a wall. Later, they also encountered a wall in Jonesboro and Macon. In these two places, Jonesboro is the location of Rose Manor, and Macon is the location of Barton Manor.
These black people were closely united with their two wives, which caused General Sherman a headache and made the soldiers very unhappy. Then, someone suggested to General Sherman that the black people should be driven away and the farms in the suburbs of Atlanta Just burn it.
I have to say that this was a great temptation. For a quarter of an hour, General Sherman wanted to nod.
Yes, as long as these two estates are captured, the army of the federal government will be able to get enough supplies. No, there is no need to think so far, as long as the properties of these two wives in the suburbs of Atlanta are captured, they will be able to get a lot of money. supply.
But can General Sherman do this?
Of course not.
Thinking of Lincoln's repeated telegrams, demanding that he not take the initiative to do anything to Magsuellen and their property, General Sherman immediately burst into foul language:
"These damned politicians! Have they forgotten the disgrace of the beginning of the war?"
Yes, Sherman is no political idiot.
Although the North also has a large number of volunteer officers, the politicians' appointments have left their mark on the army of the Northern Federal Government.All the generals in the army now have their own views on political matters.
That is to say, if someone who is not sensible comes here, Margot and Suellen will have been killed long ago. Anyway, they can push the blame, or if they can’t, they can push it to those black people.However, it was because Sherman knew a little bit about the rules and regulations of politics, so he didn't dare to do anything to Margot and Suellen.
Not only did he not dare to do anything to the wives of these two typical southern manor owners, but he had to send more people to protect these two wives!
Then Sherman realized that he seemed to have made a very wrong decision!
Because these two wives did not show up, the blacks under their hands snatched away the black soldiers of the federal government!
That's right, Sherman forgot to separate the black soldiers under his hands from the black soldiers in Margo's hands, and then the black soldiers communicated.
Sherman's black soldiers put it this way:
—Hey, man, why are you so devoted to these two white women?They don't see us as human beings.
Then the Negroes under Margot answered thus:
——Speaking like how good the Yankees are to you!Those white people can find jobs easily. Could it be that you can find jobs that are as easy and expensive as white people in the north?
——Hey, isn't there no way?Who let us not read the book?No one is smart...
—As if those white people don't need to go to school to know everything.Then let me ask you, do you have a separate small house with a floor and a bathroom?This kind of.
A black man under Marge made some gestures, and it was probably a small house with a downstairs kitchen, living room, upstairs, three bedrooms, a basement, an attic, and a small lawn that is very common in ordinary American families in later generations.
The black folks in the federal government honestly shook their heads.
The black people under Margot said:
— We live in such a house now!Sleeping on muslin sheets like those white gentlemen and wives, drinking wine like white gentlemen and wives, and little cakes for dessert.
The soldiers of the federal government immediately retorted:
— But these houses do not belong to you!
——It doesn't belong to us now, but after working for my wife for 15 years, this small house belongs to us.This is our housing fund.As long as the payment is completed for three years, we will have such a small house to live in. Do you have it?
The black soldier of the federal government shook his head.
——We have our own retirement fund, even when we get old and can no longer work, we can still receive food stamps, and we can get free food with the vouchers.Do you have any?
The black soldier of the federal government shook his head again.
——We have our own marriage fund and childbirth fund, and we can get subsidies for getting married and having children. Although we don’t have it now, we will have an education fund in the future. Do you have it?
Poor federal soldiers, both black and white, are dumbfounded.
Someone weakly retorted:
—I bet the whites didn't.
——As long as you work for our wife, you can have all of these!
The black people who worked for Margot and Suellen raised their faces and looked proud, not to mention the soldiers, even the generals were stupid.
Then "The Story of the Reed Stick" was quietly circulated in private...
Even the blacks in the north proudly carried out the conscription order, proud of being a soldier of the glorious federal government, and the blacks under Margot also despised it:
——Fool, people die in war!Not to mention the distance, just say that in the hospital behind here, so many white gentlemen are disabled!If I had also been on the battlefield back then, I am afraid that I would be the one who died now!
Then the brave black soldiers of the Northern Federal Government found that they seemed to have a very low status in the army, as if they had been cannon fodder in the early days of the war.
These black people are upset.
Why is it our job to die?Why was our military exploits overshadowed by that so-and-so?
Black people are upset.
They don't want to fight!They want to come into Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Kennedy's property and work for these two ladies!
By the time General Sherman discovered something was wrong, the situation was out of control!
The brave black soldiers under him first opposed the attack on Margo and Suellen's property, and then many blacks expressed their willingness to stay here to monitor the remaining forces in the south.
The words are beautiful, but the fact is that after the war weariness in the south rose, the army of the federal government in the north also began to be war tired.
The difference is that the South is war-weary because of too many casualties, while the black soldiers of the Northern Federal Government are war-weary because they feel that they have been cheated...
What a disaster!
General Sherman knew very well that the reason why the federal government overwhelmed the Confederate government and was able to turn defeat into victory even after repeated defeats at the beginning of the war was not only because of its own economic strength, but also because it recruited a large number of blacks, and these blacks were very young. brave!
To put it more bluntly, these black people fight like they want their lives!
Yes, in the South, blacks were excluded from the army from the beginning, and even poor whites who wanted to join the army were disliked.The military in the South had a policy of meritocracy, not numbers.Therefore, the fighting power at the beginning was amazing but could not afford too much loss.
In the north, for the federal government, as long as a few gold coins and a few nice words, a large number of black people will come to their door.So the north's combat effectiveness was low at the beginning, but it was affordable.Especially since the battlefield was located in the south, a large amount of resources were consumed, which also promoted the further development of the northern industry and provided a steady stream of supplies for the federal government's army.
Now, the black soldiers who the Northern Federal Government relied on the most were starting to pick their picks, and General Sherman had to start investigating the reasons in order to take corresponding measures.
That's right, General Sherman allowed Margot and Suellen to stay in the hospital and continue to contribute to the South, just out of sight and out of mind.
He couldn't have killed those two women any more than he could have killed so many white wounded in the South.However, General Sherman is very aware of the dedication of the South, so in order to prevent these southerners from yelling in his ears, General Sherman chose to let Margot and Suellen stay in the hospital and continue to treat those southerners. wounded.
But now, knowing that these two women have such great energy, Sherman regretted it!
If he knew this earlier, he would have killed these two women immediately!It's too late now!If these two women lose a single hair, his soldiers will be blown up first!
Moreover, aiming the bayonet and |gun| at the two weak women, and they are the wives of the upper class in the south. If Sherman really does this, just wait for the hair to be full.He must not escape the liquidation after the war!
General Sherman, who had planned to compete with the Confederate army for the towns and railroad lines near Atlanta, also had no luck.
He had to stop his original plan and choose to hide in the city of Atlanta, and he had to send people to protect the two wives of Jingui and the people in Clark's house on Peachtree Street!
At the same time, General Sherman also sent three telegrams a day to the headquarters, saying that he needed more troops!
Margo, the butterfly's wings, finally exerted her power, in a place she didn't even think of.
Yes, Margo didn't even think of it herself.
When Rhett came to inform her, Margot was dumbfounded.
In fact, Margot always thought that the world would follow the original established route, and even if she wanted to exert her energy, she would have to wait until the end of the war.
She never expected that it would be at this time!It turned out that during the war, his energy had already appeared!
And it's still so powerful and unstoppable!
After hearing Rhett's words, Margot was stunned for a while, and even Dr. Meade, who had heard the news, was dumbfounded.
Just taking care of the manor for her husband, she can exert such great power!
Before today, Dr. Meade never even knew that the wife of the owner of the big estate had such great energy.
Yes, just as Ellen reminded the rebellious Scarlett all the time, it is only natural for a woman to take care of the manor. If she takes care of it well, she should also praise the man for making good arrangements in advance, so If you get compliments from men, you should also praise the man's vision.
In this era, no, it should be said that men in the era that just passed asked women to be obedient and obedient. They didn't like women to have their own ideas.
Rhett Butler and George Clark were almost the only two quirks left at the time.
However, it is different now.At least, Dr. Meade, who has experienced so many deaths, has changed his mind. Of course, Dr. Meade is not young, so the direction of his change of mind is a bit strange.When he heard about it, he said this:
"Margo, is this what you mean by charity? Yes, yes, if this is the power of love, then I do see how powerful this power is! Yes, powerful!"
Dr. Meade seemed years older.
His sons, Darcy and Phil, are both dead. The only request Darcy made to his father in the last letter sent before his death was to beg his father to find a pair of boots for him, and let his brother Phil help deliver them.As a result, Darcy's name was on the first death list in July.
15-year-old Phil wanted to join the army, and then he got his wish. Not long after, he died. He was shot in the head and died on the spot. There was no chance of being sent to his father at all!
The death of the two sons had a huge impact on Dr. Meade and Mrs. Meade. It was so huge that Dr. Meade was indulging in one operation after another, for fear that he would think of his dead son.
Dr. Meade's hair also turned white in those few days, and his whole life was more than 20 years old.
Seeing Dr. Meade like this, Rhett also sighed in his heart.
Like Marge, he is also the kind of person who is not optimistic about the South. Although the South has carefully prepared for this war for ten years, in Rhett's view, this war is still very stupid.
Margo was one of the few people Rhett knew who agreed with him on this issue, and she was a woman.But not Dr. Meade.
Dr. Meade in the past was the typical war fanatic in Rhett's mind, but now, seeing Dr. Meade like this, Rhett sighed deeply.
He did not at this moment poke at the heart of the poor and honorable old man with his customary sarcasm.
Sitting there with the milk in her arms for two full hours, Margot has not spoken, but from her expression and the blue veins on her head, it can be seen how hard she is thinking.
Of course Dr. Meade could not have waited so long.After resting for about an hour, he went back to the operating table.
It wasn't until more than half of the third hour passed that Margot raised her head.
Rhett said: "Mrs. Clark, do you have any ideas?"
Margot said: "The development of the matter has exceeded my expectations. However, I can't stand back at this time. Just now, I was thinking about how the Regent Queen Mother will treat the United States in the future."
"Oh? So you have an idea?"
Margot nodded and said: "Yes, there are no permanent friends between countries, only permanent interests. Just like the UK and France stood on the south side in the international arena before, why should the UK and France do this? Such a gesture? It’s very simple, because Britain needs cotton from the south, and the upper class in the south is so fond of British and European products..."
"That's a thing of the past."
"History will repeat itself again and again." Margot said indifferently: "The difference is only the specific actions. The standard to measure the strength of a country is heavy industry, and the potential of a country is the vast land and abundant population. The United States is a country with potential , has a vast land, and further opening up to the west will lay a solid foundation for the country's strength. I agree with Mr. Lincoln's performance on this matter."
What Marge was talking about was the Great Western Development.That's right, during this period, the United States continued to advance westward. Although the act of exterminating the Indians was cruel, it was such cruel and bloody actions that created the United States that later.
For the Indians, this is cruel, but for the United States, the Western Development is more of a benefit, a lot of benefits.
"You haven't mentioned Britain and the Regent, Her Majesty the Queen Mother."
Still the same look, still the same accent, Rhett seemed to know what Margot wanted to say, as if he knew it well.
Marge didn't notice Rhett's evil intentions, she just continued according to her own thinking:
"In the past, in the eyes of the United Kingdom, the South was the source of raw materials and a vast market, but the war has promoted the development of the northern industry. That is to say, if the Regent Queen Mother wants to bring the United States back into control, she must make a decision. choice, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing the speed of industrial development in the United States."
"You mean..."
"Food industry, light textile industry, medical care, and charity are all industries where we can increase investment. But heavy industry and military industry are bound to become the hardest hit by the UK. That is to say, after the war, the UK and the federal government did not invest in these things. There will certainly be a series of battles up there, and we can take the opportunity to develop the South during this time."
Margot knew that since the Civil War had undergone such major changes and she had exerted such an important influence, the fellow must have noticed her.
The problem is that Margot doesn't know whether the fellow countryman can tolerate her.
In terms of national potential, the vast land and abundant resources of the United States are destined to surpass the United Kingdom and become a superpower in the future.
But as the ruler of a big country, that fellow villager definitely doesn't want to see all this.
So Margot wondered if the fellow would send someone to assassinate her, lest she cause trouble for her.
In view of the fact that the opponent has worn the crown for almost half a century, Margo firmly believes that the opponent has already made a series of preparations.
So, Margot didn't want to confront the fellow directly.
50 years is enough time to change everything.It is that the other party may not be as good as oneself in the previous life, but since the other party has come to this day, the accumulation of these 50 years is terrifying enough.
Not to mention, the opponent has already seized France, and with French resources, the opponent can also indirectly control Europe and North Africa...
Such an opponent is really terrible.
Margo thinks that she has enough influence on Suellen, that she, Suellen and Rhett hold nearly [-]% of the national debt of the United States, but this foundation is still too weak, so she didn't follow the fellow Capital on the same stage.
The direction Margot can invest in is agriculture and agricultural by-products.
Accumulate slowly and develop lately.
This is Margo's only option.
Enemies are different.
Before she has complete assurance, Margo can only dormant.
Margo raised her head: "Rett, would you like to hear about my next two plans?"
"what's the plan?"
"Nonviolent Noncooperation Program and Postwar Mutual Aid Program for Southern Families."
The Nonviolent Disobedience Program is for this war.In fact, Barton Manor and Rose Manor are currently adopting a plan of non-violent non-cooperation.
Not taking armed hostility, but not actively cooperating, this is closely related to the huge population of these two manors.
As for the post-war mutual aid plan for southern families, it was not so much for helping the large manor families on the verge of bankruptcy after the war to spend the first two years after the war, helping to pay taxes and resume production, but also for the further development of the south.
Yes, Margo intends to monopolize America, at least the most recent
Not only because she had to face the threats of smallpox, typhoid, and pneumonia raging in the hospital, but also the bayonets and muzzles of those northern soldiers.
Atlanta was attacked, and the federal government occupied the city, but there are still tens of thousands of wounded people from the South staying in Atlanta, not only in the hospitals near the train station, but also in the corridors of those shops, in the doors of those houses. Inside the courtyard.
The shadow of death has always hung over Atlanta.
Lack of doctors, nurses, nurses, and all kinds of necessary medicines...
Not to mention, when General Sherman of the Northern Federal Government captured Atlanta, because Margot and Suellen's estate nearby had been supplying food and manpower for the hospital—because the Southern Confederate government used land to share with Margot and Suellen Lun exchanged a large amount of supplies, so that more than 80.00% of the suburbs near Atlanta belonged to the sisters (the remaining public land is now either a factory or a cemetery), and Margot is also very clear that the defeat of the South was doomed from the very beginning. , so she set up a farm in the suburbs very early on, not only producing food, but also surgical sutures made of maggot shells.
This kind of supply did not stop even after Atlanta was captured.
After General Sherman, who led the army to occupy Atlanta, got the news, his expression changed.
He said to his adjutant, "What did you say?"
The adjutant replied, "General, the two wives on the pardon, Mrs. Margaret O'Hara Clark and Mrs. Suellen O'Hara Kennedy, are not only in Macon and Jonesboro Luo owns their own super large estates, and also owns huge real estate in Atlanta. 80.00% of the land in the suburbs of Atlanta, except for those factories and cemeteries, either belong to Mrs. Kennedy or Mrs. Clark.”
General Sherman muttered at the time: "Damn the rich! Damn the owner of the big manor!"
"General?"
"Where are these two women now?"
The adjutant said: "General, they are in the hospital. Yes, they are now one of the two most important doctors in the Atlanta Field Hospital."
Can women be doctors too?The adjutant also found it incredible.It was like the first time he heard that the federal government had a huge national debt in the hands of southerners.
Poor adjutant, when he first heard that Margot, Suellen, and Rhett controlled [-]% of the national debt of the United States, he thought it was a fantasy!
Of course, he is not the only one who feels the same way.Even when Sherman heard about it for the first time, he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"I remember tens of thousands of southern wounded stranded here?"
"Yes."
"Are they still fighting?"
The adjutant immediately shook his head.
"No, General. When the South retreated, the lightly wounded who were still able to walk followed, and now the only ones left are the seriously wounded, many unconscious. They are now prisoners. Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Kennedy are using My property in the suburbs of Atlanta supports these people. Their niggers are the nurses who tend these people, yes, nurses, that's the word."
"Care workers?"
"Yes. According to those people, the one who can go to the operating table to operate a knife for the wounded is a doctor, the one who can't use a knife but is a doctor's assistant is a nurse, and the nurse's assistant is a nurse. That's what those black people said. And a couple of big Negroes carrying dead bodies."
Following the adjutant's finger, General Sherman saw from a distance several big black men carrying one white man after another away with the door panels.Although it is a bit far away, the stiff lines and ominous colors are telling people the price of this war.
Yes, in 1862, Atlanta was already a medical base in the South. In July 1864, two months ago, the situation of the war changed drastically. The army of the Northern Federal Government was pressing every step of the way. The line transports tens of thousands of wounded people every day, and Atlanta's hospitals have long been unable to accommodate so many wounded people, so that those wounded have to groan in the corridors of nearby shops or in the courtyards of other people's houses| Groan, waiting for that possibility can almost be said to be a slim cure.
At this time in Atlanta, it is not an exaggeration to say that "the wounded are already full".
When General Sherman captured the city, the city was already filled with the smell of corpses.
Hearing these two names, General Sherman immediately remembered the president's repeated instructions. He was silent for a while before he said: "Keep an eye on them, those two women, and their black slaves. The two women and their property. They have the president's amnesty." As he spoke, General Sherman couldn't help muttering: "Damn politicians!"
There is definitely a reason why General Sherman would say that.
Here are some dry goods from the Civil War era.At the beginning of this war, the population of the north was larger than that of the south. In terms of population, the north had an absolute advantage, that is to say, it was almost twice the population of the south.
This also led to a very intuitive result: the strength of the North has always been more than twice that of the South.
……
……
……
Although the northern industry has a solid foundation, at the beginning, the level of military industry in the north was not high, and there was even fear that the shipyard would fall into the hands of the south (at that time, almost everyone thought that Britain and France would stand in the south Here—for cheap cotton.) chooses to burn his docks,
Although it is said that the South stored a large amount of arms at the beginning of the war, and other industries in the South were underdeveloped, but because of the idea of declaring war early in the morning, the South attached great importance to the military industry from the very beginning.
It can be said that the South had been preparing for war for several years before the declaration of war.
In the beginning, the reason why the North lost successive battles was because the South had many excellent officers, while in the North, a large number of politicians occupied the positions of officers...
In other words, the South has carefully prepared for this war for ten years, and many officers have also joined the South. In contrast, the Northern Federal Government has an absolute advantage in terms of strength and potential, but many senior generals in the army Positions are taken by politicians.
This directly led to the serious consequences of the defeat of the Northern Federal Government in the early stages of the war. Of course, another result was that, under the influence of those politicians and colleagues, the generals of the Northern Federal Government were not political idiots.
General Sherman knew well what it meant to be two wives from upper-class Southern families.
Just exclude the large amount of northern national debt in the hands of these two ladies, and see these two ladies staying in the hospital with a risky spirit, regardless of the smallpox, pneumonia, typhoid fever raging in the hospital, and the fall of Atlanta. Inside, General Sherman couldn't do anything to the two ladies.
Whether it is the South or the North, this kind of dedication is highly respected.
Not to mention, these two wives also have the president's amnesty.
When the adjutant heard the president's amnesty order, he couldn't help but said: "General, is it true that the federal government has so many national debts in the hands of these two women?"
"Not only these two women, but also their agent, Rhett Butler, if this man hadn't joined the army, he should be in this city!"
Sherman couldn't help recalling his meeting with President Lincoln.
That's right, at that time Sherman also felt that his ears were hallucinating, or that the president had gone crazy.At that time, seeing the president and the bankers nodding and looking at the documents, Sherman and his colleagues felt that the world was too crazy.
But what can be done?It is better for the national debt to be in the hands of the southerners than in the hands of the British.
Sherman would not like to see America become another France.
"Implement military control over Atlanta, impose martial law on the hospital and Peachtree Street, manage the soldiers below, and don't allow them to go to these places, let alone harass those white women! There are black women in Atlanta, as well as prostitutes..."
In the end, General Sherman sent military doctors to verify the situation of the Atlanta hospital. While the city of Atlanta was under military control, the hospital and its surrounding areas were tripled in strength and strict precautions were taken.
Of course, this approach made the atmosphere in Atlanta unprecedentedly tense.
Probably because a large number of refugees fled (after all, even Mrs. Whiting, one of the three pillars, left Atlanta for Macon), and the number of residents in the city has dropped to the lowest level since the beginning of the war. You must know that in this war, the situation in the South It took a sharp turn, but the city of Atlanta got an excellent opportunity to flourish. The small city with a population of only 2 people has been fully developed because of its location in a transportation hub. Although the remaining white families did not leave, they also hid behind the curtains. From behind, he stared at General Sherman and his army who had just entered the city with guard and vigilance, as if the blacks under General Sherman would rush into their homes at any time with the support of General Sherman and the Northern Federal Government to insult them The same as the female relatives.
Well, this kind of thing isn't said in women's ears, but the few men left in town (they're all crippled, like Gerald with a leg missing, or simply lost a hand, so they can't go to the battlefield) are cleaning their guns, planning to teach those "Yankee niggers" who dare to break into their homes a lesson.
It can be said that when General Sherman entered the city, the atmosphere in Atlanta was unprecedentedly tense.
It was at this time—in fact, just a few days after Melanie gave birth—that Margot planned to see General Sherman.
Suellen didn't agree with anything, and finally Dr. Meade said that he should let the old man go.
This is Southern chivalry.The chivalry that the north has abandoned still remains in the hearts of the southerners.
Margot couldn't compete with this respectable old man, so she had to let him bring the letter of proposal.
I don't know what Dr. Meade went through in the end, and Dr. Meade didn't mention it, but the hospital survived anyway. Sherman didn't let his military doctors enter the Atlanta Hospital, but he sent a lot of Atlanta morning doctors. Drugs that are not seen, such as quinine and opium.
Although the number is not very large, it also helped Atlanta Hospital a lot.
Of course, Sherman's troops also used a lot of medical gauze, medical bandages, medical alcohol, and of course, food.Of course, Sherman couldn't pay the bill, and the black men under Margot were very stubborn. They didn't let Sherman's quartermaster take the things away until Sherman's quartermaster agreed to record and sign the bill.
This caused the quartermasters to murmur behind their backs: "These niggers! They're just like watchdogs!"
This is also what the white people in the federal government army don't understand the most.
Isn't it clearly written in "Uncle Tom's Cabin"?Why are these niggers still so loyal to those southerners?
But if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. They still have a lot to do, and they don’t have the time to do ideological work for these black people.
After fighting this way, these white people have long known that among the black slaves in the south, there are also classes, divided into rough black slaves who work in the cotton fields, and senior black slaves who serve in the house.
For these Negroes, it was a very honorable thing to be chosen as the valet and valet of the master.Those rough blacks may go with them, but those high-level black slaves, especially those blacks who work as personal servants or personal maids, they seldom follow them. On the contrary, these blacks have a very close relationship with their masters. Deep, even if the master dies, they will continue to follow the master's heirs, and some will simply live and die with the master.
Seeing this kind of black people, white people in the north will always sigh, thinking that these black people have been completely brainwashed.But in their hearts, it may not have left a deep impression, and their attitude towards the upper-class people in the south is also very complicated.
This is a very wonderful state of mind, and its principle is probably very close to the worship of nobles and royal families.
Of course, none of this matters right now.The important thing is that an important event happened at this time that was unexpected by everyone but had such a profound significance that it changed the battlefield situation again.
For a long time the soldiers of the Northern Federal government had been eyeing the Atlanta hospital, its staff, and the Negro women near it.
Just like the female writer who wrote the sequel "Scarlett" of "Gone with the Wind" said in "Scarlett", men who come down from the battlefield always hope to use |sex| to prove them Still alive, there is a similar saying in the East, seven years in the army, a sow competes with Diaochan.
For the soldiers of the Northern Union government, the black women are so stupid, just a few kind words, a few free "give you clothes and gold earrings", those black women, especially those black girls They will go with them. Of course, although these black girls are not military|prostitutes, in fact, what they bear is no different from military|prostitutes.
The stories of soldiers|prostitutes, Margot once revealed to the people around her.The black maids have not read any books, but they have to say that their memory is very good, and it is true, the history of the ancient oriental country, so the black maids of O'Hara Manor have a lot of discussions behind their backs. , and this kind of discussion, with the beginning of the war and the marriage of the two sisters Marge Suelen, was brought to Barton Manor and Rose Manor...
And more than half of the existing black people in Atlanta are either under Margot or under Suellen.
That is to say, the rhetoric of the Yankee officers and soldiers, as well as their subsequent irresponsibility and ruthlessness, were clear to the black people in Atlanta.
The soldiers of the federal government never expected that the black women in Atlanta would not accept their tricks.
Yes, when these soldiers made such promises to those black girls, what they got was not ecstatic faces, but sneering arrogant eyes.
These black girls would rather be exhausted in the hospital with Margot and Suellen than go with them, let alone have sex.
The methods that the soldiers of the Northern Union government had used everywhere were of no use in Atlanta.
In fact, this was the first time they encountered a wall. Later, they also encountered a wall in Jonesboro and Macon. In these two places, Jonesboro is the location of Rose Manor, and Macon is the location of Barton Manor.
These black people were closely united with their two wives, which caused General Sherman a headache and made the soldiers very unhappy. Then, someone suggested to General Sherman that the black people should be driven away and the farms in the suburbs of Atlanta Just burn it.
I have to say that this was a great temptation. For a quarter of an hour, General Sherman wanted to nod.
Yes, as long as these two estates are captured, the army of the federal government will be able to get enough supplies. No, there is no need to think so far, as long as the properties of these two wives in the suburbs of Atlanta are captured, they will be able to get a lot of money. supply.
But can General Sherman do this?
Of course not.
Thinking of Lincoln's repeated telegrams, demanding that he not take the initiative to do anything to Magsuellen and their property, General Sherman immediately burst into foul language:
"These damned politicians! Have they forgotten the disgrace of the beginning of the war?"
Yes, Sherman is no political idiot.
Although the North also has a large number of volunteer officers, the politicians' appointments have left their mark on the army of the Northern Federal Government.All the generals in the army now have their own views on political matters.
That is to say, if someone who is not sensible comes here, Margot and Suellen will have been killed long ago. Anyway, they can push the blame, or if they can’t, they can push it to those black people.However, it was because Sherman knew a little bit about the rules and regulations of politics, so he didn't dare to do anything to Margot and Suellen.
Not only did he not dare to do anything to the wives of these two typical southern manor owners, but he had to send more people to protect these two wives!
Then Sherman realized that he seemed to have made a very wrong decision!
Because these two wives did not show up, the blacks under their hands snatched away the black soldiers of the federal government!
That's right, Sherman forgot to separate the black soldiers under his hands from the black soldiers in Margo's hands, and then the black soldiers communicated.
Sherman's black soldiers put it this way:
—Hey, man, why are you so devoted to these two white women?They don't see us as human beings.
Then the Negroes under Margot answered thus:
——Speaking like how good the Yankees are to you!Those white people can find jobs easily. Could it be that you can find jobs that are as easy and expensive as white people in the north?
——Hey, isn't there no way?Who let us not read the book?No one is smart...
—As if those white people don't need to go to school to know everything.Then let me ask you, do you have a separate small house with a floor and a bathroom?This kind of.
A black man under Marge made some gestures, and it was probably a small house with a downstairs kitchen, living room, upstairs, three bedrooms, a basement, an attic, and a small lawn that is very common in ordinary American families in later generations.
The black folks in the federal government honestly shook their heads.
The black people under Margot said:
— We live in such a house now!Sleeping on muslin sheets like those white gentlemen and wives, drinking wine like white gentlemen and wives, and little cakes for dessert.
The soldiers of the federal government immediately retorted:
— But these houses do not belong to you!
——It doesn't belong to us now, but after working for my wife for 15 years, this small house belongs to us.This is our housing fund.As long as the payment is completed for three years, we will have such a small house to live in. Do you have it?
The black soldier of the federal government shook his head.
——We have our own retirement fund, even when we get old and can no longer work, we can still receive food stamps, and we can get free food with the vouchers.Do you have any?
The black soldier of the federal government shook his head again.
——We have our own marriage fund and childbirth fund, and we can get subsidies for getting married and having children. Although we don’t have it now, we will have an education fund in the future. Do you have it?
Poor federal soldiers, both black and white, are dumbfounded.
Someone weakly retorted:
—I bet the whites didn't.
——As long as you work for our wife, you can have all of these!
The black people who worked for Margot and Suellen raised their faces and looked proud, not to mention the soldiers, even the generals were stupid.
Then "The Story of the Reed Stick" was quietly circulated in private...
Even the blacks in the north proudly carried out the conscription order, proud of being a soldier of the glorious federal government, and the blacks under Margot also despised it:
——Fool, people die in war!Not to mention the distance, just say that in the hospital behind here, so many white gentlemen are disabled!If I had also been on the battlefield back then, I am afraid that I would be the one who died now!
Then the brave black soldiers of the Northern Federal Government found that they seemed to have a very low status in the army, as if they had been cannon fodder in the early days of the war.
These black people are upset.
Why is it our job to die?Why was our military exploits overshadowed by that so-and-so?
Black people are upset.
They don't want to fight!They want to come into Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Kennedy's property and work for these two ladies!
By the time General Sherman discovered something was wrong, the situation was out of control!
The brave black soldiers under him first opposed the attack on Margo and Suellen's property, and then many blacks expressed their willingness to stay here to monitor the remaining forces in the south.
The words are beautiful, but the fact is that after the war weariness in the south rose, the army of the federal government in the north also began to be war tired.
The difference is that the South is war-weary because of too many casualties, while the black soldiers of the Northern Federal Government are war-weary because they feel that they have been cheated...
What a disaster!
General Sherman knew very well that the reason why the federal government overwhelmed the Confederate government and was able to turn defeat into victory even after repeated defeats at the beginning of the war was not only because of its own economic strength, but also because it recruited a large number of blacks, and these blacks were very young. brave!
To put it more bluntly, these black people fight like they want their lives!
Yes, in the South, blacks were excluded from the army from the beginning, and even poor whites who wanted to join the army were disliked.The military in the South had a policy of meritocracy, not numbers.Therefore, the fighting power at the beginning was amazing but could not afford too much loss.
In the north, for the federal government, as long as a few gold coins and a few nice words, a large number of black people will come to their door.So the north's combat effectiveness was low at the beginning, but it was affordable.Especially since the battlefield was located in the south, a large amount of resources were consumed, which also promoted the further development of the northern industry and provided a steady stream of supplies for the federal government's army.
Now, the black soldiers who the Northern Federal Government relied on the most were starting to pick their picks, and General Sherman had to start investigating the reasons in order to take corresponding measures.
That's right, General Sherman allowed Margot and Suellen to stay in the hospital and continue to contribute to the South, just out of sight and out of mind.
He couldn't have killed those two women any more than he could have killed so many white wounded in the South.However, General Sherman is very aware of the dedication of the South, so in order to prevent these southerners from yelling in his ears, General Sherman chose to let Margot and Suellen stay in the hospital and continue to treat those southerners. wounded.
But now, knowing that these two women have such great energy, Sherman regretted it!
If he knew this earlier, he would have killed these two women immediately!It's too late now!If these two women lose a single hair, his soldiers will be blown up first!
Moreover, aiming the bayonet and |gun| at the two weak women, and they are the wives of the upper class in the south. If Sherman really does this, just wait for the hair to be full.He must not escape the liquidation after the war!
General Sherman, who had planned to compete with the Confederate army for the towns and railroad lines near Atlanta, also had no luck.
He had to stop his original plan and choose to hide in the city of Atlanta, and he had to send people to protect the two wives of Jingui and the people in Clark's house on Peachtree Street!
At the same time, General Sherman also sent three telegrams a day to the headquarters, saying that he needed more troops!
Margo, the butterfly's wings, finally exerted her power, in a place she didn't even think of.
Yes, Margo didn't even think of it herself.
When Rhett came to inform her, Margot was dumbfounded.
In fact, Margot always thought that the world would follow the original established route, and even if she wanted to exert her energy, she would have to wait until the end of the war.
She never expected that it would be at this time!It turned out that during the war, his energy had already appeared!
And it's still so powerful and unstoppable!
After hearing Rhett's words, Margot was stunned for a while, and even Dr. Meade, who had heard the news, was dumbfounded.
Just taking care of the manor for her husband, she can exert such great power!
Before today, Dr. Meade never even knew that the wife of the owner of the big estate had such great energy.
Yes, just as Ellen reminded the rebellious Scarlett all the time, it is only natural for a woman to take care of the manor. If she takes care of it well, she should also praise the man for making good arrangements in advance, so If you get compliments from men, you should also praise the man's vision.
In this era, no, it should be said that men in the era that just passed asked women to be obedient and obedient. They didn't like women to have their own ideas.
Rhett Butler and George Clark were almost the only two quirks left at the time.
However, it is different now.At least, Dr. Meade, who has experienced so many deaths, has changed his mind. Of course, Dr. Meade is not young, so the direction of his change of mind is a bit strange.When he heard about it, he said this:
"Margo, is this what you mean by charity? Yes, yes, if this is the power of love, then I do see how powerful this power is! Yes, powerful!"
Dr. Meade seemed years older.
His sons, Darcy and Phil, are both dead. The only request Darcy made to his father in the last letter sent before his death was to beg his father to find a pair of boots for him, and let his brother Phil help deliver them.As a result, Darcy's name was on the first death list in July.
15-year-old Phil wanted to join the army, and then he got his wish. Not long after, he died. He was shot in the head and died on the spot. There was no chance of being sent to his father at all!
The death of the two sons had a huge impact on Dr. Meade and Mrs. Meade. It was so huge that Dr. Meade was indulging in one operation after another, for fear that he would think of his dead son.
Dr. Meade's hair also turned white in those few days, and his whole life was more than 20 years old.
Seeing Dr. Meade like this, Rhett also sighed in his heart.
Like Marge, he is also the kind of person who is not optimistic about the South. Although the South has carefully prepared for this war for ten years, in Rhett's view, this war is still very stupid.
Margo was one of the few people Rhett knew who agreed with him on this issue, and she was a woman.But not Dr. Meade.
Dr. Meade in the past was the typical war fanatic in Rhett's mind, but now, seeing Dr. Meade like this, Rhett sighed deeply.
He did not at this moment poke at the heart of the poor and honorable old man with his customary sarcasm.
Sitting there with the milk in her arms for two full hours, Margot has not spoken, but from her expression and the blue veins on her head, it can be seen how hard she is thinking.
Of course Dr. Meade could not have waited so long.After resting for about an hour, he went back to the operating table.
It wasn't until more than half of the third hour passed that Margot raised her head.
Rhett said: "Mrs. Clark, do you have any ideas?"
Margot said: "The development of the matter has exceeded my expectations. However, I can't stand back at this time. Just now, I was thinking about how the Regent Queen Mother will treat the United States in the future."
"Oh? So you have an idea?"
Margot nodded and said: "Yes, there are no permanent friends between countries, only permanent interests. Just like the UK and France stood on the south side in the international arena before, why should the UK and France do this? Such a gesture? It’s very simple, because Britain needs cotton from the south, and the upper class in the south is so fond of British and European products..."
"That's a thing of the past."
"History will repeat itself again and again." Margot said indifferently: "The difference is only the specific actions. The standard to measure the strength of a country is heavy industry, and the potential of a country is the vast land and abundant population. The United States is a country with potential , has a vast land, and further opening up to the west will lay a solid foundation for the country's strength. I agree with Mr. Lincoln's performance on this matter."
What Marge was talking about was the Great Western Development.That's right, during this period, the United States continued to advance westward. Although the act of exterminating the Indians was cruel, it was such cruel and bloody actions that created the United States that later.
For the Indians, this is cruel, but for the United States, the Western Development is more of a benefit, a lot of benefits.
"You haven't mentioned Britain and the Regent, Her Majesty the Queen Mother."
Still the same look, still the same accent, Rhett seemed to know what Margot wanted to say, as if he knew it well.
Marge didn't notice Rhett's evil intentions, she just continued according to her own thinking:
"In the past, in the eyes of the United Kingdom, the South was the source of raw materials and a vast market, but the war has promoted the development of the northern industry. That is to say, if the Regent Queen Mother wants to bring the United States back into control, she must make a decision. choice, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing the speed of industrial development in the United States."
"You mean..."
"Food industry, light textile industry, medical care, and charity are all industries where we can increase investment. But heavy industry and military industry are bound to become the hardest hit by the UK. That is to say, after the war, the UK and the federal government did not invest in these things. There will certainly be a series of battles up there, and we can take the opportunity to develop the South during this time."
Margot knew that since the Civil War had undergone such major changes and she had exerted such an important influence, the fellow must have noticed her.
The problem is that Margot doesn't know whether the fellow countryman can tolerate her.
In terms of national potential, the vast land and abundant resources of the United States are destined to surpass the United Kingdom and become a superpower in the future.
But as the ruler of a big country, that fellow villager definitely doesn't want to see all this.
So Margot wondered if the fellow would send someone to assassinate her, lest she cause trouble for her.
In view of the fact that the opponent has worn the crown for almost half a century, Margo firmly believes that the opponent has already made a series of preparations.
So, Margot didn't want to confront the fellow directly.
50 years is enough time to change everything.It is that the other party may not be as good as oneself in the previous life, but since the other party has come to this day, the accumulation of these 50 years is terrifying enough.
Not to mention, the opponent has already seized France, and with French resources, the opponent can also indirectly control Europe and North Africa...
Such an opponent is really terrible.
Margo thinks that she has enough influence on Suellen, that she, Suellen and Rhett hold nearly [-]% of the national debt of the United States, but this foundation is still too weak, so she didn't follow the fellow Capital on the same stage.
The direction Margot can invest in is agriculture and agricultural by-products.
Accumulate slowly and develop lately.
This is Margo's only option.
Enemies are different.
Before she has complete assurance, Margo can only dormant.
Margo raised her head: "Rett, would you like to hear about my next two plans?"
"what's the plan?"
"Nonviolent Noncooperation Program and Postwar Mutual Aid Program for Southern Families."
The Nonviolent Disobedience Program is for this war.In fact, Barton Manor and Rose Manor are currently adopting a plan of non-violent non-cooperation.
Not taking armed hostility, but not actively cooperating, this is closely related to the huge population of these two manors.
As for the post-war mutual aid plan for southern families, it was not so much for helping the large manor families on the verge of bankruptcy after the war to spend the first two years after the war, helping to pay taxes and resume production, but also for the further development of the south.
Yes, Margo intends to monopolize America, at least the most recent
