Continued one year of civil war, the federal government paid with more than 200,000 people of casualties, the brutal casualties made the soldiers war-weariness surge upward. 持续了一年的内战,联邦政府付出了二十万余人的伤亡,残酷的伤亡让士兵们厌战情绪高涨。 This is only a civil war, is not the foreign invasion. The patriotism of being agitated, has worn down in the blood fire completely. 这只是一次内战,并非外敌入侵。被鼓动起来的爱国主义,早就在血火之中消磨殆尽。 Has not completed the recruiting goal , is not only the western provinces, conscription difficult issue that even the core province of federal government, faces. 没有完成征兵任务的不光是西部各州,即便是联邦政府的核心州,同样面临的征兵难的问题。 So far, the total military strength of federal government has broken through 1.1 million, however is still insufficient. 截止到目前,联邦政府的总兵力已经突破110万,然而依旧不够用。 Various battle provinces, or close to battlefield States of Germany first guaranteed own security, in battlefield coordination difficulty, is very difficult to play the role of strength superiority. 交战各州、或者是临近战场的联邦州都优先保证自身的安全,战场上协调配合困难,很难发挥兵力优势的作用。 These issues are the non-solution difficult problems, the officials in various provinces are elect, if cannot safeguard the security of Honshu, the voter can make them get the hell out. 这些问题是无解的难题,各州的官员都是选举出来的,如果不能保障本州的安全,选民就能够让他们滚蛋。 Person who the overall perception, that does not have deep sorrow is shouting the slogan. Related to the self-interest, the capitalist, is a politician, or is the people, chose to the most advantageous approach. 大局观,那是没有切肤之痛的人在喊口号。涉及到了自身利益,无论是资本家,还是政客,又或者是民众,都选择了对自己最有利的做法。 Secretary of state Zafar rushes in the president's office to say hurriedly: „ Mr. President, the important matter is not good. 国务卿萨法尔急匆匆的闯进总统办公室说道:“总统阁下,大事不好。 Just Illinois sent in the requesting reinforcements telegram, they declared, if the federal government did not send out the reinforcements, they must withdraw from the war. ” 刚刚伊利诺伊州又发来了求援电报,他们宣称要是联邦政府再不派出援兵,他们就要退出战争了。” Withdraws from the war? Do not suspect, States of Germany dares is so willful. For does not make the homeland turn into the ruins, surrender, let alone withdraws from the war? 退出战争？不要怀疑,联邦州就敢这么任性。为了不让家园变成废墟,投降都可以,何况只是退出战争呢？ In any case this is the civil war, does not exist to utterly destroy. So long as Illinois announced withdraws from the war, the south will not launch the attack to them again. 反正这是内战,不存在斩尽杀绝。伊利诺伊州只要宣布退出战争,南方就不会再向他们发起进攻。 But such a, the federal government must be finished. Now so long as has one to take the lead, perhaps is very easy to form the chain-reaction. 只不过这么一来,联邦政府就要完蛋了。现在只要有一个带头的,恐怕很容易形成连锁反应。 The capitalists want the market and inexpensive raw material right, the prerequisite does not build oneself. If own industry in the frontline, the enemies forced one's way into, then compromises also the no reason why not. 资本家们想要市场和廉价原材料没错,前提条件是不把自己搭进去。如果自家的产业就在前线,敌人都打进来了,那么妥协也未尝不可。 Can't for the benefit of social class, accompany own family property? These losses, the federal government is impossible to supply them. 总不能为了阶级的利益,就把自己的家业都陪进去吧？这些损失,联邦政府又不可能补给他们。 Heard this news, Lincoln air/Qi directly throws to act the document, cursed one: „This group mixes the ball, unexpectedly threatens us!” 听得了这个消息,林肯气得直接扔出手中的文件,大骂一声:“这帮混球,居然威胁我们！” Then very regrettable discovery, he has to accept this threat. 然后很遗憾的发现,他不得不接受这个威胁。 Maryland and Ohio almost fall to the enemy completely, Indiana only had place occasionally, Kansas lost 1/3, if Illinois withdrew from the war again, then the man advantage of north government did not exist, will also fall into the passive condition strategically. 马里兰州、俄亥俄州几乎全部沦陷,印第安纳州只剩下了一偶之地,堪萨斯州丢了三分之一,要是伊利诺伊州再退出战争,那么北方政府的人力优势就不复存在了,战略上也会陷入了被动状态。 After silent moment time, Lincoln said slowly: „I decided immediately implements «Homestead Act», wins over people that long for obtaining the land.” 沉默了片刻功夫后,林肯缓缓的开口说:“我决定了立即实施《宅地法》,拉拢渴望获得土地的民众。” The secretary of state Zafar tone ice-cold said: „You determined that has thought that rather than spur-of-the-moment? These step treads, cannot turn head again.” 国务卿萨法尔语气冰冷的说:“你确定已经想好了,而不是一时冲动？这一步踏出去,就再也回不了头。” Lincoln said resolutely: „ Arrived this step, if cannot win this war, perhaps my result will be worse! 林肯语气坚定的说:“都到了这一步,如果不能赢得这次战争,恐怕我的结局还会更加糟糕！ Such being the case, why to bet one? Besides implementing «Homestead Act», I cannot think that other means that can solve the understrength problem. 既然如此,干嘛不赌一把呢？除了实施《宅地法》外,我想不到别的办法,可以解决兵力不足的问题了。 Had a look at Austria altruistic to know, short one year, their here flickered 200,000 immigrations, caught up with our one year quickly from the quantity of European immigrant. 看看奥地利人就知道了,短短的一年时间里,他们就我们这里忽悠走了二十万移民,都快赶上我们一年从欧洲移民的量了。 Naturally, we cannot handle the matter certainly, leaves behind a back door to them, so as to avoid acts out of desperation. ” 当然,我们也不能把事情做绝,给他们留下一个后门,免得狗急跳墙。” Secretary of state Zafar nods, he and Lincoln have bound together, must have bad luck who unable to be inescapable. Naturally he is not the president , the hatred value wants to be smaller. 国务卿萨法尔点了点头,他和林肯已经绑在一起了,要倒霉谁也跑不了。当然他不是总统,拉的,仇恨值要小些。 Under the war requirement, Lincoln signed and issued «Homestead Act» on May 1 , 1862, the difficult position that the north government soldiers are insufficient is solved. 迫于战争需要,1862年5月1日林肯签发了《宅地法》,北方政府兵员不足的困境得以解决。 «Homestead Act» stipulated: „ Every guardian or is 21 years old, never to participate in the Republic of citizen rebellion, after taking an oath to obtain the land to reclam the goal and pays 10 US dollars fee, may register to receive the total not over 160 acres( 1 acre 0.40 hectare) toft. 《宅地法》规定:“凡一家之长或年满21岁、从未参加叛乱之合众国公民,在宣誓获得土地是为了垦殖目的并缴纳十美元费用后,均可登记领取总数不超过160英亩(一英亩0.40公顷)宅地。 The registrants live and cultivate in the toft the full 5 years, may obtain the land license to become the owner in this/should toft. 登记人在宅地上居住并耕种满五年,就可获得土地执照而成为该项宅地的所有者。 «Homestead Act» also stipulated that commutes the provision, namely, if the registrant proposed that first application of purchase, may 6 months later, purchase it by each acre 1.25 US dollars price. ” 《宅地法》还规定一项折偿条款,即如果登记人提出优先购买的申请,可于六个月后,以每英亩1.25美元的价格购买之。” People that the front content mainly to win over to obtain the land, although has not stated clearly, this is also the military exploit gives the reprint of field. 前面的内容主要是为了拉拢想要获得土地的民众,虽然没有明说,这也是军功授田的翻版。 Gives loyalty to the federal government, must perform military service. This also includes the meanings of southern State People, wanting the certificate not to betray the federal government to be simple, on the battlefield hit the rebel army on the line. 向联邦政府效忠,就必须要服兵役。这还包括南方各州民众的意思,想要证明没有背叛联邦政府非常简单,上战场打叛军就行了。 On the battlefield with the land buy people goes to war, the practice of federal government, infringed the interest of operation land price interest group without doubt. 用土地收买民众上战场打仗,联邦政府的做法,无疑是损害了操作土地价格利益集团的利益。 The following commuting provision, to the back door that they leave behind. Just because of the time and everyone registration land quantity limit, increased the operation difficulty. 后面的折偿条款,就是给他们留下的后门。只不过因为时间和每人登记土地数量限制,增加了操作难度。 In the history is honored as turning point «Homestead Act», the effect natural levers, everyone hid in the conscription point that it is less, now queues again. 历史上被誉为转折点的《宅地法》,效果自然杠杠的,原本大家躲之不及的征兵点,现在再次排起了长龙。 ...... …… Compares the insufficiency on army, on the navy the federal government in the result that yields is larger. Naturally now the confederation government control area has over a hundred harbors, the naval power of by federal government, is naturally impossible to block. 相比陆军上的不足,在海军上联邦政府取得的成果就要大的多了。当然现在邦联政府控制区拥有上百个港口,以联邦政府的海军实力,自然不可能封锁完。 However what they do is very splendid, in 1861 the ships to confederation government, about 10% was seized. 不过他们还是干的还是很出色,1861年通往邦联政府的船舶,大约有百分之十被逮住了。 Do not think that this number is small, in fact achieves this is not easy by the strength of US Navy. 不要以为这个数字小,实际上以美国海军的实力做到这一步已经非常不容易了。 The royal navy of drawing offset frame often appears and disappears, every so often the cotton transportation, the British fleet is staring at the federal navy in not far away. 拉偏架的皇家海军时常出没,很多时候棉花运输,英国舰队就在不远处盯着联邦海军。 The issue does not hit cannot win, but cannot hit. West UK , France Austria in interfering with the US civil war issue has reached the agreement, once makes war to select four. 问题不是打不打得赢,而是根本就不能打。英法奥西在干涉美国内战问题上已经达成协议,一旦开战就是以一挑四。 Various countries now bad is one convinces the civil war to give a pretext, under this situation, the federal navy can also make such progress, is not easy. 各国现在差的就是一个说服国内战争借口,在这种背景下,联邦海军还能取得这样的成绩,已经非常不容易了。 In order to break through blockade, the south government also formed the navy. Because the both sides warship number disparity is disparate, south government secret construction armored vessel, at this time northern government similarly in construction armored vessel. 为了打破封锁,南方政府也组建了海军。因为双方军舰数量差距悬殊,南方政府秘密建造铁甲舰,这个时候北方政府同样在建造铁甲舰。 In March 1862, the north and south navies carried out the life-and-death fight in Hampton, began armored vessel war. 1862年3月,南北双方海军在汉普顿展开了殊死搏斗,拉开了铁甲舰战争的序幕。 It is a pity that the navy artillery technology of American is not much, southern army „Meri Mike” conducts the correlation with Monitor of northern army, both sides are to obtain any victory. 遗憾的是美国人的海军火炮技术不怎么样,南军的“梅里麦克”号与北军的“莫尼特”号进行对射,双方均为取得任何战果。 Under this situation, at the end of May, 1862 Austria benefitted the open sea fleet to visit the southern confederation government. 在这种背景下,1862年5月底奥地利远洋舰队访问南方邦联政府。 Count Hummel and President Jefferson Davis conducted the friendly exchange, enhanced the bilateral trade cooperation to achieve consistently, was mainly the labor outputs the service. 胡梅尔伯爵和杰弗逊-戴维斯总统进行了友好交流,就加强双边贸易合作达成了一致,主要是劳工输出服务。 On June 7 , 1862, two people signed «Labor To introduce Treaty», the treaty stipulated: In the next ten years, the south confederation government is the colony to introduce 3 million labors from Austria, the south government will bear the complete immigration expense, and pays for the immigration expenses of Austria side Meiren 60 aegises. 1862年6月7日,两人签订了《劳工引进条约》,条约规定:未来十年内,南方邦联政府从奥属殖民地引进三百万劳工,南方政府将承担全部移民费用,并且支付奥方每人60神盾的移民费用。 Without a doubt, this is a big business. The prerequisite was south the government won this war, can cash in the treaty. 毫无疑问,这是一笔大生意。前提条件是南方政府赢得这场战争,才能够兑现条约。 In order to win over Austria benefits, the south government also got down the initial capital. 为了拉拢奥地利,南方政府也是下了血本的。 This is the fist decision, do not look that Austria benefits the open sea fleet to want more than 70 warships, in this actually five armored vessels, are at present the east coast most powerful fleets. 这是拳头决定的,不要看奥地利远洋舰队只要七十余艘军舰,这里面却有五艘铁甲舰,是目前东海岸最强大的舰队。 Count Hummel proposed: „Mr. President, I thought that you need a powerful navy, suppresses the fleet of northern government, safeguards unimpeded of ultramarine trade.” 胡梅尔伯爵提议道:“总统阁下,我觉得你们需要一支实力雄厚的海军,压制住北方政府的舰队,保障海外贸易的畅通。” Sells the warship, Hummel was not first, the European main naval power sold the warship to the south government, the confederation government also ordered much, what a pity slow aid will not help in an emergency. 推销军舰,胡梅尔不是第一个了,欧洲主要的海军强国都向南方政府推销了军舰,邦联政府也订购了不少,可惜远水解不了近渴。 Jefferson Davis interest deficient reply: „Is Count, we had ordered many warships in Europe, but is unable to receipt in a short time.” 杰弗逊-戴维斯兴致缺乏的回答道:“是的伯爵阁下,我们已经在欧洲订购了不少军舰,可是短时间内无法到货。” Count Hummel showed a faint smile saying: „ Mr. President, you need to be on -hand merchandise, ordering the warship was really slow. In battlefield ever changing, the time is the life. 胡梅尔伯爵微微一笑说:“总统阁下,你们需要是现货,订购军舰实在是太慢了。战场上千变万化,时间就是生命。 If gets the winning side now is Your country Navy, perhaps then this war had ended. So long as you blocked the ultramarine trades of various New England provinces, the north government has to compromise. ” 如果现在占据上风是贵国海军,那么这场战争或许已经结束了。你们只要封锁了新英格兰各州的海外贸易,北方政府就不得不妥协。” President Jefferson Davis at present one bright, he listens to Count Hummel the implication, limited unbelievable asking: „Does your country intend to sell this fleet?” 杰弗逊-戴维斯总统眼前一亮,他听出胡梅尔伯爵的言外之意,有限难以置信的问:“贵国有意出售这支舰队么？” Count Hummel affirmative reply: „Normally, we will not sell the equipment in service, but treats the friend to be exceptional.” 胡梅尔伯爵肯定的回答道:“正常情况下,我们是不会出售现役装备的,不过对待朋友可以例外。” Slightly after thinking, President Jefferson Davis prudent saying: „Count, your initial price, we will not make the friend suffer a loss!” 略加思索过后,杰弗逊-戴维斯总统慎重的说道:“伯爵阁下,你开价吧,我们不会让朋友吃亏的！” Without the means that that feared that clearly knows to get ripped off, he also has to say. That feared that is the price is expensive, the ships loss that also had not been intercepted by the north government is big. 没办法,那怕明知道要挨宰,他也不得不提出来。那怕是价格再贵,也没有被北方政府拦截的船舶损失大。 Superficially, these ships losses are the capitalists, in fact these losses are south the government are undertaking, the blockade of north government raised the prices of southern provinces, limited the export of commodities. 表面上来看,这些船舶损失是资本家的,实际上这些损失都是南方政府在承担,北方政府的封锁抬高了南方各州的物价,限制了商品出口。 Most typical is a merchant ship to guarantee sufficient speed, escapes from hunt of northern navy, has to keep massive spatial warehouses. Meets the northern navy, frequently must throw into the sea the cargo on ship, reduces the weight to improve the speed. 最典型的就是商船为了保证有足够的速度,逃脱北方海军的追捕,不得不留出大量的空仓。遇到北方海军,常常还要将船上的货物丢进海中,减轻重量以提高速度。 Count Hummel offers saying: „46 million aegises, open sea fleet pack sell, throwing in the ammunition that can conduct three wars, we provide the free training service.” 胡梅尔伯爵报价道:“4600万神盾,远洋舰队打包出售,附赠可以可以进行三次大战的弹药,我们提供免费培训服务。” This is completely a sky-high price, 46 million aegises about 23 million pounds, if calculates the naval construction cost, can build a royal navy. 这完全是一个天价,4600万神盾约合2300万英镑,如果只是计算造舰成本,都可以打造一支皇家海军了。 The natural 23 million pounds definitely cannot buy a royal navy, even if turns one time insufficiently still. Grows out of nothing to build a royal navy to come out, 100 million pounds insufficient. 当然2300万英镑是肯定买不到一支皇家海军的,就算是翻一倍也不够。从无到有打造一支皇家海军出来,一亿英镑都不够。 The royal navy dominates the world, depended may not only be a warship, a series of supplementary facilities, huge industrial chain, with well-trained soldier. 皇家海军称霸世界,靠的可不仅仅是军舰,还有一系列的配套设施,庞大的工业链,和训练有素的士兵。 These are not south the government have, the north government also does not have. Before the civil war breaks out, the US Navy population ten thousand, the navy of south government is only middle the retired personnel and merchant ship sailors is formed. 这些都不是南方政府具备的,北方政府同样也不具备。在内战爆发前,美国海军人数都不过万,南方政府的海军只是当中退役人员和商船水手组成的。 It can be said that the north and south naval officers qualities are rank among the best in the entire world, but is but actually the number. 可以这么说,南北双方海军官兵素质在全世界都是数一数二的,不过是倒着数。 Jefferson Davis thinks saying: „Count, your offer is too high. Or this, we hire the open sea fleet combat. So long as suppresses the north navy in the harbor, we pay the commissions of 46 million aegises.” 杰弗逊-戴维斯想了想说:“伯爵阁下,你的报价太高。要不这样,我们雇佣远洋舰队作战。只要将北方海军压制在港口中,我们就支付4600万神盾的佣金。” Hummel shakes the head, such business he does not dare to meet. Do not look that in the short-term suppresses the northern navy to be easy, but the north government major shipyards below stuffed dumpling, are in fact bigger to the scale of late Northern Fleet. 胡梅尔摇了摇头,这样的生意他可不敢接。不要看短期内压制北方海军非常容易,可实际上北方政府各大造船厂都在下饺子,越到后期北方舰队的规模就越大。 If within one year, the south government could not win this war, relative strength of both sides changed. That feared that by quantity pile, the north government will have the advantage. 要是一年以内,南方政府赢得不了这次战争,双方的实力对比就发生了变化。那怕是靠数量堆,北方政府也会取得优势。 Counts on eliminates the enemy in the naval battle, do not have a dream. Can't win also runs does not win? Enters after the harbor, there are An Pao to shield, was helpless with them. 指望在海战中消灭敌人,还是不要做梦了。打不赢还跑不赢么？进入港口过后,有岸炮掩护,就拿他们无能为力了。 Only if the southern government is willing to give Austria to benefit the direction the army, then also several points hope. At the worst since Canada lands, punctures the back Great Lakes area. 除非南方政府肯将陆军交给奥地利指挥,那么还几分希望。大不了从加拿大登陆,刺背五大湖地区。 It is estimated that the English did not mind that is one who has eyes yet fails to see, John Bull face is in any case thick-skinned, can act perversely. 估计英国人不介意做一回睁眼瞎,反正约翰牛脸皮厚,可以耍无赖。 „Sorry, we are the neutral countries, cannot enter the war.” “抱歉,我们是中立国,不能够参战。” Jefferson Davis only difference rolled the eyes, which neutral country such selling munitions on a grand scale? Besides not on personally the battlefield , undoable, you who other matter can be done have done. 杰弗逊-戴维斯只差翻白眼了,哪个中立国这么大张旗鼓的卖军火？除了没有亲自上战场外,别的事情能做的、不能做的,你们都已经做了。 The words that these complained think to be OK, said hurts feelings, no matter how said that Austria altruistic supported them, was half ally. 这些吐槽的话想想就可以了,说出来就太伤感情啦,不管怎么说奥地利人还是支持他们,算是半个盟友。 „25 million aegises, this price you at least can get a time of profit.” “2500万神盾,这个价格你们至少可以获得一倍的利润。” This is Jefferson Davis acts according to the ex-factory price estimate of south shipyard, tacitly approved the profit of capitalist, in addition open sea expense. 这是杰弗逊-戴维斯根据南方造船厂的出厂价估算的,默认了资本家的利润,加上了远洋费用。 Hummel calculated saying: „Mr. President, business is business, if ordinary period price is not cannot discuss, but the present is very special period, does not have over 2 times profits, even loses money to buy and sell.” 胡梅尔盘算了一下说道:“总统阁下,在商言商,如果是平常时期这个价格也不是不能商量,但是现在是非常时期,没有二倍以上的利润,就算是亏本买卖。” ...... …… On July 1 , 1862, Austria benefitted with Nicaragua signs the arms sales agreement, the Vienna government sold by the prices of 38 million aegises the open sea fleet to the Nicaraguan government. 1862年7月1日,奥地利同尼加拉瓜签订了军购协议,维也纳政府将远洋舰队以3800万神盾的价格出售给了尼加拉瓜政府。 The news spreads American in an uproar, many people are surprised, does Nicaragua have money to buy the open sea fleet? 消息传来美洲一片哗然,很多人都在惊讶,尼加拉瓜有钱买下远洋舰队？ Has not waited for everyone to recover, on July 5 , 1862, the Nicaraguan government by the same price, gave this jumbo fleet to the southern government. 还没等大家回过神来,1862年7月5日,尼加拉瓜政府又以相同的价格,将这支巨无霸舰队转让给了南方政府。 Naturally, can sell this sky-high price, Count Hummel agrees to accept half of bonds the results. In order to bind Austria benefits, the south government also thinks of every means. 当然,能够卖出这个天价来,还是胡梅尔伯爵同意接受一半债券的结果。为了绑定奥地利,南方政府也是费尽心思。 The news has not passed to Vienna, the shipyard that but Austria benefits has bustled about. 消息还没有传到维也纳,不过奥地利的造船厂已经忙碌了起来。 Old does not go newly does not come, since must sell the warship, Franz is impossible to make Austria benefit the navy not to have the warship available, naturally must make the new ship. 旧的不去新的不来,既然要卖军舰,弗朗茨也不可能让奥地利海军没有军舰可用,自然要建造新舰了。 In the future must intervene in the US civil war, cannot leave the navy, overseas colonizing cannot leave the navy similarly. It is estimated that the news of transaction feeds in Europe time, the new warship soon served. 未来要干涉美国内战,还是离不开海军,海外殖民同样离不开海军。估计交易的消息传回欧洲的时候,新的军舰又快要服役了。
