Chapter 15 The Civil War
In this way, Victor became a second lieutenant in the army under Lieutenant Colonel Bagley very easily. In fact, such situations are very common in wartime.

When the U.S. army is short of personnel to fight the Indians, it will recruit local immigrants as militias to fight together at any time, and absorb some of them as regular soldiers.

In fact, the American militia at that time had a familiar name in the 21st century: the National Guard.Although there are still differences in the organization and command system, it is indeed the predecessor of the current National Guard.

And not long after Victor took office, a major event that spread across the United States happened. In fact, this event was already brewing when the Republican Lincoln was elected president two years ago.

However, because of the war with the Indians, the incident was delayed, but what should have happened finally happened. The southern federations began to mobilize troops to the junction with the northern federations.

Although there has not been an exchange of fire, the war is imminent.The Fifth Cavalry Regiment of the First Cavalry Division, to which Lieutenant Colonel Bagley belongs, is an elite unit belonging to the Northern Federation.

Mobilized to Florida to assist local militia forces fighting the Indians because of Florida's Third Seminole War against the Indians.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment that the last resistance war of the Seminoles also failed. In front of the elite Fifth Cavalry Regiment, the Indians almost fought back.

From discipline to weaponry to numbers, the Seminoles were no match for the U.S. military.

After the complete defeat of the Seminoles, although most of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment withdrew, it still left thousands of people led by Lieutenant Colonel Bagley to sweep up the remaining sporadic resistance and monitor the migration of the Indians.

In fact, Lieutenant Colonel Bagley also has a secret mission, which is to observe the movements of the state troops in Florida, and report any suspicious movements to Washington at any time.

And behind the incident of the Indians attacking the town this time, there is actually a local official background in Florida.

They need a time like this to attract the attention of Lieutenant Colonel Bagley and his troops, so as to achieve their ulterior motives.

Just as Lieutenant Colonel Bagley led his men on the road of chasing and killing the Indians, the Florida army had also completed its assembly and deployment as planned.

At this time, it has been more than a month since Victor and Crazy Horse played against each other, although Crazy Horse successfully escaped and ascended to heaven with the help of the river.

But his other subordinates were all killed by Victor in the woods where they fought, which made his almost perfect plan usher in a fiasco in the final stage.

And Bagley, with the help of Victor, caught the tail of the Indian tribe fleeing Florida.

And pursued all the way, from Florida all the way across Alabama and Mississippi to Kansas.

And in Kansas, there was a brief encounter with the opponent's rear-end troops, because neither side had the intention to fight for a long time, and after leaving hundreds of corpses in the end, the Indians successfully fled the battlefield.

And Bagley's vanguard also retreated several kilometers to wait for the arrival of the large force, but in the end what they waited for was an order to evacuate immediately and join the large force.

It turned out that when they were at war with the Indians, South Carolina announced its withdrawal from the United States of America and sent state troops to attack Fort Sumter in Charleston.

In fact, before the attack on Fort Sumter, the South Carolina government had announced its secession from the United States of America, and the federal garrison who got the news secretly evacuated their garrison that day.

They all ran to Fort Sumter. First of all, it has perfect fortifications, and it is also a port, which is very convenient for fighting or withdrawing.

But although they slipped away very quickly, their immediate superiors were not so powerful. Lincoln, the president's father, was always unable to make up his mind on the issue of fighting or withdrawing.

He didn't want to take the blame for firing the first shot in the American Civil War. After all, it might leave him infamous for thousands of years. Although the last war made his name go down in history, he still doesn't know anything about it, right? After all, he is not an Indian. Shaman or something.

So he did something that fit his identity very well. He convened senior officials in Washington and held meetings every day to discuss whether to fight or not.Such a meeting lasted for more than a month.

The soldiers in Fort Sumter encountered a big trouble during the meeting above. There was no food prepared for so many soldiers.

Because of the large gathering of troops stationed in other places, the food here is only enough for forty days.As for looking for food outside, that is even more unrealistic, the outside has been surrounded by the southern army into an iron bucket.

And the Lincoln boss held a meeting for more than a month, and when the soldiers in Fort Sumter were about to starve to death, they played another wave of show operations.

He first sent a telegram to the rebellious governor of South Carolina in a grand manner, the general idea is as follows: How dare you kid try to usurp the throne!Grab my territory, and want to kill my brother!Did you not take my great president seriously?I'm telling you, if you touch my brother, I'll flatten your South Carolina.

But he quietly told the navy that was going to increase its personnel, you are going this time to deliver food. If the other side opens fire, you can launch an attack and send the ammunition there, otherwise you will only send food .

Then a secret message was sent to the commander of Fort Sumter, you guys, you have to be strong, the reinforcements will arrive soon, but if you can't hold on, you can surrender.

This contradictory order confused the commander of Fort Sumter, and what happened next made him even more angry.

The support that the boss said did come quickly. They brought a lot of food and a lot of ammunition supplies, but they were all blocked. The food they said was a lie, and they were even eaten by the navy at sea. and it did not make it to Fort Sumter.

As for why this happened, because the Southern Army only surrounded Fort Sumter, but did not launch an attack, so the naval forces of the Northern Army neither dared to attack nor evacuated.

Then the commander of Fort Sumter watched the group of marines paddling in the sea, and then showed them the food that should be given to them every day.

"Damn bastards! Are you our navy or the enemy's spy!"

Although he was angrily scolded, he also understood that he was helpless in the current situation, and at this time, the people sent by the Southern Army to persuade him to surrender came again.

Your Excellency the Commander considered the urgency of his boss and the current situation he and his subordinates are facing, and made a very important decision, and the general of the Southern Army who came to persuade him to surrender was his former student, so the two sides hit it off and reached an agreement. consensus.

First of all, he told the other side righteously that he refused to surrender and that he would fight until the last moment before the food was eaten, and then told the other side that the food here was only enough for more than 30 hours.

And after the opponent left, he ordered all the soldiers to hide in permanent fortification bunkers, because the Southern Army's 'attack' was coming soon.Everyone advance to the bunker to avoid the shelling before the opponent's attack.

Then, the commander really had a clever plan. The Southern Army mobilized a large number of artillery and began to bombard Fort Sumter. However, the bombardment took a long time, which lasted 36 hours.

During the bombardment, the commander of Fort Sumter organized his officers to distribute the remaining food, saying that they should finish eating quickly, eat more, and prepare to fight after eating.If you don't eat now, you might not be able to eat it later.

In this way, the soldiers in Fort Sumter ate their 'last meal' here with tragic emotions, and then the officers reported to the commander that the food had run out.

At this time, the bombardment of the Confederate Army stopped. Just when the soldiers of Fort Sumter were about to fight to the death, the commander told them that according to the order of President Lincoln, when they ran out of ammunition and food, they could surrender to the Confederate Army. , the southern army will guarantee their safety and let them return to the north by boat.

Then they surrendered, and the Confederates, keeping their word, disarmed them and let them sail back north.

And the navies on the warships responsible for transporting supplies happened to eat a lot of the food they transported, freeing up a lot of space for transporting people.

In fact, such a result can be achieved in the end, because this is the early stage of the civil war, and the two sides have not yet exchanged fire in the true sense, and have not yet killed red eyes.And each other used to be colleagues, so there will be such a harmonious situation.But later in the war, it was completely different.
And just as the North and South armies at Fort Sumter were teasing their performances, the order to mobilize Lieutenant Colonel Bagley's Fifth Cavalry Regiment to the North and South front lines officially reached Bagley's hands.

And Victor also came to the front line with this army that has made great achievements in battle in the future, and joined this magnificent epic war.

Although the outbreak of the Civil War was postponed for nearly two years because of his arrival, it still happened, and he joined the Northern Army by accident.

In the movie, Wolverine and Saber-toothed Tiger also joined the Northern Army. Yes, that’s right, it’s the movie where Wolverine and Saber-toothed Tiger are brothers.

I have to say that sometimes fate is such a coincidence. In fact, Victor didn't want to come here to fight with Bagley at the beginning.

However, after a simple analysis, he finally chose to follow Bagley, because he knew that he alone could not kill the red wolf under the protection of the Sioux and Cheyenne tribal alliance, but The U.S. government and its army can help him. You must know that in real history, the U.S. government has almost succeeded in exterminating the Indians. The Indians who once spread all over the Americas ended up with hundreds of thousands of mixed-race descendants. What he has to do , as long as the U.S. military has enough connections and voice in the post-Civil War, it can use the U.S. military to deal with those Sioux and Cheyenne tribes that sheltered Red Wolf. own revenge.

And if Victor wants to use the power of the US government, he needs to gain enough military exploits and sufficient status in this civil war that has just started.
