The number of deaths in the south and north is rising sharply.

The hatred between the two sides gradually reached an irreconcilable level.

Once the north conquers a southern town, the scorched earth strategy will be implemented and everything here will be turned into a scorched earth.

And the same is true in the south.

But in such a time of endless death, there were high-level figures from the south sitting in front of Doug.

Of course, the place where the two met was not in New Haven, but on the sea far away from the route.

"Your Excellency, I need the goods you produce," said the large plantation owner in the south in a very gentle tone.

Doug did not answer immediately, but looked casually at the liquid in the goblet in front of him.

The war has been going on for half a year.

The south was unstoppable from the beginning and gradually began to fall into a deadlock.

This is not because there is a problem with their fighting will, but because there is a big problem with their equipment supply.

Originally, during the US-Mexico War, the south of the United States was able to continuously obtain houses purchased from Britain and France from sea.

Since the Civil War began, the abominable Yankees sent a large number of ships to block the southern coast.

These ships are not big, and the gun caliber on them is also very small, which poses no threat to the port.

However, they can intercept and harass cargo ships at much faster speed than cargo ships.

Although the supply line was not completely blocked, the north was also making every effort to expand the scope of the war and increase the intensity of the battle. In this way, it became increasingly difficult to replenish material supplies in the south.

Although Britain and the United Kingdom have invented the bomb coal block.

When a ship that hollows out the coal blocks, plugs explosives in the middle, and relies on coal as the power, once these coal block bombs are poured into the combustion chamber, it will cause damage to the boiler at the least, and at the worst, it will cause a large fire.

However, after taking effect a few times, I became smarter and it was difficult to achieve any effect again.

At this time, the plantations in the south were very uncomfortable.

Originally, they looked down on the poor people in the north, but now they have discovered a problem that they can't spend even if they have money.

However, if it is still going on, the southerners will not sit still and wait for death, but are constantly looking for ways to break the deadlock.

Finally, they finally found another way to obtain supplies.

It's just to buy it from the northerners.

That's right!

Just buy it from the northerners!

In this era, although the planters in the south had never learned any materialistic dialectics.

However, they knew very simply that one thing was that businessmen were always profit-seeking.

Since they can sell goods to governments and troops in the north, they will definitely sell them to governments and troops in the south.

However, they bear the risk of selling to the north because the price is lower.

If they sell to the south, they will bear higher risks and higher prices.

As for the arguments such as patriotism and support for the system.

Forget it!

Who doesn't know who?

They contacted some merchants, and they did, as they wanted, with a double premium or a triple premium, and they could buy supplies.

However, although I bought it, it was still not enough.

Many people may not have imagined how terrifying the consumption of war is.

In almost every battle, the bullets consumed must be calculated in tens of thousands of rounds.

And every bullet is not cheap.

In addition, there are also losses, including the gun itself.

After many twists and turns, they came into contact with top businessmen like Doug.

Doug was not in a hurry to speak because he knew that these southerners were more anxious than him.

Because, for him, the price of not being able to sell those weapons and equipment is only to make less money.

For these southerners, if they buy back supplies one second later, more people will die and closer to failure.

Sure enough, the person on the opposite side saw Doug not speaking, gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you can sell the supplies to us, we will offer you the prices of twice the prices of these supplies. Wait, no! We offer three times!"

Doug finally spoke, "He said, this is not a matter of money. You must know, let the others in the north know what kind of behavior is it to sell supplies to you south? I am not a devil, and I will not sell my soul a little money.

However, I heard that Mexico seems to have a strong demand for war supplies recently. I wonder if you know?"

"Mexico?" The representative of the south was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted and said, "Yes! Yes! They just lost the US-Mexico War and are not at all willing!

They want to buy a lot of supplies and counterattack the United States!”

"That's right! That's it! But I don't know very well what supplies they need. I believe that with your intelligence network, you can definitely find out what they need.

There is a saying that goes very well, the enemy is a friend.

Since the north is now fighting a war with the south, I think I am a member of the north and there is no problem with the enemy of the Mexican Southerner."

"Yes, yes, yes. Thank God! I will hand over the Mexican material demand list to you as fast as possible."

"Well, okay. I hope the purity of the Mexican Eagle Ocean is still the same as before." Doug said that, and stood up and left.

War has always been one of the fastest ways for capitalists to make a fortune.

And, in most cases, there are no so-called patriotic capitalists.

In other words, the more wealth a capitalist has, the more unpatriotic he is destined to be.

Why is this?

This is because the state is just a fictional concept, a concept that condenses people with people.

It is not even very different from religion.

For modern countries, their common concept is basically based on nations.

For ordinary people, having mutual recognition can increase their probability of survival.

However, for big capitalists, no matter which country they are in, they still have wealth.

And they have huge wealth, they can have more social influence.

Let the government of this country make concessions for his interests.

For him, it's the same everywhere.

For them who can change their country at any time, they will naturally go wherever they can make more money.

The same is true for Doug.

However, one of the biggest differences between Doug and the previous capitalists is that he is not that naked.

This is not because he is cautious by nature, but because he never underestimates the power of ordinary people.

If we say that the Clayden Consortium, which is now centered on Bank of America, is a behemoth.

An ordinary person, in front of it, is like a pitiful and humble little ant.

However, when there are enough small ants, they can still subvert the behemoth.

Of course, no one in the West in this era has realized this.

Therefore, all the capitalists still look extremely arrogant.

And their arrogance will only push the ants to their opposite side and make them condense together, and one day they will encounter a strong backlash.

So Doug said he had a batch of things that he wanted to sell to Mexicans.

In this way, even if the people who did not fight against the South in the future would find that the southerners actually used the same standard equipment as theirs on a large scale.

The Clayden consortium can also explain their original intentions and accused the Mexicans of being too low in combat.

Even if some people doubt it, when most of the voice is in the hands of the Clayden Consortium, they will not encounter too much doubt.

As for, many years later, the truth of the matter was discovered, what does it matter?

After all, things and people had changed at that time, right?

—————

Franklin is a black man, and his first and last name are both Franklin.

Because Franklin is his master's surname.

At this moment, Franklin was lying in a room with a red cross printed on it.

Although he would see people who were once adjacent to him every day, covered with white cloth on his head and lost his life.

However, he was still very grateful to the people here.

Because he never thought that his life would be cured.

I can lie in the ward like this, do nothing, and recuperate with peace of mind.

You know, in the month before this, even if he was sick, he could only be with him and could not delay his work.

Perhaps, this is a cruel thing for white people, but it is a normal thing for them, black people.

However, it was different when this red cross came here.

People with red cross logos on these clothes began to search for patients with sickness and wounded people whenever they went to a place.

Work hard to provide them with treatment.

Even those who are dying and dying will try to save them.

The most important thing is that all these kind people act not only against white people, but also against black people like him.

Franklin, 22 years old this year, spent the first 18 years in Africa.

Of course, he didn't know that it was Africa at that time.

At that time, he lived in a tribe.

There are more than 400 people in the tribe, which is not a large tribe, but because it has a large hunting area, it can be considered rich compared to other tribes.

However, although he lives by hunting, the tribe where Franklin is located is not a warlike tribe.

They just fought back when other tribes attempted to invade them.

When Franklin was still young, he always lived in a very peaceful environment. However, as he grew older, the surrounding tribes became more and more irritable day by day.

It is said that some people with powerful weapons came to them.

They have many rare treasures, and if they want to obtain these rare treasures, they just need to exchange prisoners of war from hostile forces for them.

So, in this way, clashes of clans happened again and again.

One tribal war continues.

Although, Franklin's tribe is unwilling to cause trouble.

However, other tribes that had exchanged for powerful weapons attacked them at night and captured them all.

Everyone, including Franklin, was loaded on a large ship and transported to another continent.

The environment on the boat is very poor.

From the first day of going to sea, people have been constantly getting sick and dying.

And those vicious sailors, once they find someone's sign of illness, will not say anything and will throw their whole body into the sea.

Franklin didn't know how many people died around him, but he successfully got off the boat alive.

However, getting off the boat is just the beginning.

He was put on shackles and handcuffs, and began to be led to meet one person after another.

Someone will open his mouth and look at his teeth.

Someone will do more insulting behaviors to themselves.

However, Franklin was already numb at this time.

He doesn't care about these behaviors.

Because, for him, as long as he can live, it is enough.

Although there was no problem with his body, his will was very trance.

The buyers suspected that he had a mental problem, so he was eventually sold at a low price.

After all, he has to eat more food every day.

And his buyer is his owner Franklin.

The owner of Franklin, owns a small plantation.

This small plantation of his plantation does not plant a single crop regularly.

Often, when others say that the market will be better next year, they will plant whatever they want.

However, his luck has always been bad. Often, he planted something, and the price of something is even lower.

Therefore, although I have been busy for most of my life, I have not accumulated much wealth.

Even slaves cannot choose the most powerful ones to buy, they can only buy some discounted items that can be processed.

However, Franklin's owners are confident about these discounted products.

For him, it is enough to use it, and he has no hope for anything other than that.

However, the more he settles, the more others look down on him.

However, he didn't care whether others could respect him or not. He always said, "I will become rich one day."

However, before that day came, his area was occupied by northerners.

The slaves who knew Franklin were also taken into custody by the Cross Society and began to be treated.

As for Franklin's owner, he was killed by a bullet after he picked up his gun and wanted to resist.

After all, compared to slaves, they do not have any "Declaration on the Liberation of Black Slaves" to protect them.

Negroes didn't realize that they would have been discriminated against because of their skin color, but now they can enjoy different treatments because of their skin color.

Of course, what they didn't expect was.

In their eyes, the Red Cross organization seemed to be like an angel, far less kind than they thought.
