Grant is 59 years old, and he is no longer young at this age. He is nearly 60 years old to lead the army to fight. Grant is not actually trying to make a comeback in politics. Although he knows that he still has huge energy in Congress and in the Republican Party and has a large number of supporters. He is actually just trying to change his life dilemma.

He had already known that he had gone for the third time to be elected president of the United States. However, in order to run for president, he had already given up his status as a soldier and could not even get his pension. In addition, he was poor in management and even his most beloved saber, and he was poor and even sold his beloved saber. Of course, it was not difficult to make money in his capacity as a troupe. There was a theater host in New York, p.t. Barnum said that if he allowed his trophy to be publicly distributed and gifts from leaders of all countries around the world, he would pay him $100,000 and some of the ticket income. This money is definitely a huge sum in today's world. But Grant was unwilling to do so. Because he felt that it would make him look pitiful. So he rejected Barnum's suggestion.

But what else can he do? He still owes a lot of debts, so he can't keep paying it back, right? Doing business again will only make even worse. So, he hopes that he can return to the army and receive the annual salary of a retired general. However, he does not want to ask... Although he also knows that as long as he tells the US Congress this request, Congress will immediately pass a special bill to restore his retired general's position and restore his qualification to receive an annual salary. But what is the difference between that and begging?[]

In the original history, the US Congress finally remembered his contribution in the last year of Grant's life, and restored his retired general and received all his annual salary. However, at this time, Grant had cancer and had little time to live. However, in order to leave his wife with a legacy for living, he ignored his illness and struggled to write his memoirs with the strength and courage of an old soldier to pay off his debts and support his family. He raced with the god of death until four days before his death. The memoir was completed. The memoir was published after his death and earned $450,000 for his widow.

However, now Grant has discovered an opportunity to return to the army earlier and be open and openly... defeat the Chinese! As long as he defeats the Chinese, then Congress can restore his identity as a general.

But he didn't expect that once he lost, Brian directly rubbed him down.

...

"One thing I suddenly discovered was... the reason why I was able to achieve such results during the Civil War was certainly because I had certain abilities, but more importantly, I had a president who would completely trust me!"

The White House no longer gave itself a chance, and once the defeat was defeated, he was forced to go back to New York... After receiving the news, Grant, who was preparing for a counterattack, stayed for two hours, then handed over the command to his deputy and began to pack up.

"General, your successor has not arrived yet. We can take this time to defeat the Chinese." Many generals in the army felt unacceptable. Grant was their idol. Although this idol led them to a defeat, it was still far from real failure. Moreover, no matter who faced the situation at that time, it would be difficult to win. Grant responded calmly. Although he was forced to retreat thirty miles, at least he saved most of the army, which was better than everyone present. Because, when he was suddenly bombarded by the Chinese, they were panicked... Only Grant still maintained the necessary calmness. But now, Washington did this... This was simply to let Grant end his entire military career as a defeated general.

"The White House's order is to let us stand on the spot and wait for a new commander. So, we cannot violate the order." Grant's voice was very lonely, and the famous irritable temper seemed to have gone away with the difficult life in recent years. "In addition, I hope you can remember one thing: don't take it lightly before the Chinese completely defeated the Chinese, or until they completely lose their ability to resist... I didn't listen carefully to this advice that Sherman gave me, but I hope you can take it to your heart."

"General..."

"Goodbye, gentlemen. Good luck to you!"

...

Grant left and left lonely. Brian had a chance to move in Congress, but he was finally given the treatment of a retired army general, but the result was obviously to completely cut off his chances of returning to politics. After all, in the United States, soldiers cannot rule. But no one expected this ending. Almost all Americans were waiting for this great general to bring them a refreshing victory... But the Chinese once again disappointed them.

However, the Americans did not know that the ending was actually surprising in the hearts of the Chinese who were already regarded as their opponents. After temporarily repelling the US army, Guo Jinzhang led the Chinese workers to restore their positions. He originally planned to take advantage of the victory and defeat those Americans with one spirit, but unfortunately Grant's calm command forced him to give up this idea. The other party was a veteran on the battlefield, and although he was defeated, the occasional counterattack caused him to lose hundreds of people... After fighting with the Americans for so long, this was the biggest loss for them.

Therefore, he had to give up the pursuit and re-operate his position. At the same time, he was worried that Grant would start a massacre next time he came... After all, facing such a veteran and famous general, ordinary people only have one chance. It would be a delusion to let the other party step into their design again.

However, the US government withdrew Grant.

"In this era, idiots don't just live in China!" Guo Jinzhang, who received the news, was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help but smile. His little cleverness could be blocked once or twice, but after contacting him for too much, he would know that he just needed to play steadily and press over with his strong strength, and basically he didn't have to worry about anything anymore... Unfortunately, so far, only Grant had the opportunity to fight him again, and others were often dealt with by him for the first time without a chance to turn over. However, he did not defeat Grant, but the US government helped!

"What should we do?" Li Asheng and others also knew the result, and they were inevitably a little excited. The number one player in the north was unable to do anything to them. Doesn't this prove that they finally have enough strength? As for who the Americans would send... Without the number one player in the north, can they send the number one player in the south again?

...

"James Longst, I think James Longst is fully qualified for the commander's mission! He has defeated Grant!"

Everyone is waiting for the new appointment of the White House. But Grant's defeat was characterized as a defeat, and the new commander must bear tremendous pressure because he must win in one battle, otherwise, he may suffer the same fate as Grant. Moreover, the White House has to bear considerable responsibilities for this. After all, the White House did not give Grant a second chance, so there is no reason to give others a second chance. In addition, the Federal Commander-in-Chief Sherman's fierce opposition to the order to replace Grant in the White House, generals at all levels of the US Army revealed a tendency to resist the position of commander of the pursuit and suppression army. After all, the US Army is only a few people and not many generals.

And most of them were Grant's former generals... So, Secretary of State James Brian, who successfully attacked Grant and had no chance to come back, found that he was in a situation where no one was available. Although President James Garfield was not influential and was basically his voice-over, he kept asking who he appointed... This was also a very heavy pressure. After all, Garfield was the president. If he was really impatient and was angry, he could still remove him as Secretary of State. Therefore, after meeting his staff and studied it hard for two days, Brian finally found a person who was also unhappy in his life.

"James Longst?" Garfield was very troubled recently. He didn't care that he was Brian's puppet. After all, being president was already an unexpected surprise for him. You know, when the candidates competed, he only had one or two votes in support. However, no matter how much he didn't care, he couldn't let anything come to an end. Puppet is not a problem, but this puppet cannot be regarded as a punching bag all day because of the manipulator's will. Now people in the United States are waiting for his decision.

"Yes, it's James Longst." Brian said.

"As far as I know, James Longst seems to be one year older than Grant, right?" Garfield asked with a frown.

"Haha, it's worthy of being a mathematician. Yes, James Longst is indeed a little older than Grant. But as far as I know, his physical condition is much better than Grant. His military talent is not worse than Grant. During the Civil War, he was sent by Robert Lee to Tennessee, which was in the western battlefield, and led less than 20,000 people to deal with the Northern Army, which was three or four times his own for two years. He often led troops to attack the Northern Army's railway line from east to west, and was very active in convective operations. Remember the Battle of Chanuloga? At that time, Grant broke through the defense line of the Southern Army in Chanuloga and reached the border of Georgia. Chattanooga was an important railway hub and strategic center in Tennessee. Federal troops were surrounded by the Southern Army layers in the city and could not escape. In November 1863, Grant led a large army, led a large army.

The besieged enemy troops were defeated and laid the foundation for the Northern Army to clear the remaining enemies in the southeast. However, after Grant had just won this victory, James Longst led his Tennessee Front to march for nearly 100 miles from a long distance of nearly 100 miles. Although there were only 20,000 troops, Grant suffered a defeat. This was Grant's only defeat on the western battlefield. After that, Grant still relied on his own military advantage to maintain the front and stabilize the situation. In addition to fighting Grant, he was also Robert Lee, the best assistant of the No. 1 South General, who was called "my old war horse" by Robert Lee. It was because Robert Lee did not listen to his advice that he was defeated by Grant in Getsburg and lost more than 20,000 people..."

"But James Longst is a southerner." Garfield was a little moved as Brian talked about James Longst's record, but immediately he realized a very serious problem: James Longst is a southerner, and he was also a general of the Southern Army back then, an extremely important general. Although the Civil War has ended for more than ten or twenty years, America is still a unified country, but the impact of that war on both the north and the south has not ended. Southerners still don't like the northerners, and the northerners are also suppressing the southerners... This is also why the position of president has always been controlled by the Republicans for so many years. Because the Republicans come from the north, and the Democrats represent the South.

"We can feel completely relieved about this. James Longst is a southerner, but he joined the Republican Party after the war and is now a member of the Republican Party. Moreover, because he once criticized Robert Lee, he was extremely unpopular in the South and was regarded as a traitor..." Brian said.

"So... then appoint him. Have you talked to him?" Garfield asked.

"Not yet. However, because he was not popular in the south, he was sent to Turkish by Grant. He has just returned recently. I think he must have been suffocated!" Brian smiled.

"James Longst?"

The appointment of the new commander of the pursuing and suppression army caused a huge uproar across the United States, especially in the south. The opposition of the southerners naturally prompted Democratic members in Congress to oppose this appointment. The appointment of the Federal Army Commander-in-Chief Sherman directly attacked the White House in Congress. This appointment "is simply ignoring the existence of the federal army"! So many generals, why did they find a former ambassador to Turkey? However, in the face of such opposition, Brian obviously had prepared for a long time, and his reasons were also very sufficient: First, what is the Southern North.

Fang, James Longst is not an American? Whether it is Grant or Robert Lee, the first general in the north and south have praised James Longst for his ability. Who dares to say that he is not able to command the pursuit and suppression army? Second, when Hayes was in office, he could temporarily recall a former president, Grant, who was already idle at home, to serve as the commander of the pursuit and suppression army. Then why can't their newly appointed President Garfield recall a former ambassador to Turkey? Could it be that those who have been presidents are superior?

"Being a president does not necessarily mean being superior. But I don't understand why, why do you use James Longst? Haven't you ever thought about how sensitive his identity is?" Sherman was left speechless by Brian's rebuttal. He and Hayes recalled Grant, and naturally they have the right to recall Longst again. Who told his federal army to have conflicts with the White House and that the other party could not find a usable general? But he didn't expect that Brian actually found James Longst. He admitted that James Longst was a famous general and was very capable. However, after the end of the Civil War, General Longst made two major mistakes, one was to join the Republican Party and participate in Grant's reconstruction of the South; the other was to be the second.

When Robert Lee was widely publicized in the south, he thought that although Robert Lee was noble, he was not perfect. He offended the vast majority of southerners and even had a bad reputation in the south. Because he was born in the south and was not trusted in the north, Grant had to send him to Tules as ambassador... Brian pulled such a person out of it, which was tantamount to offending both the north and the south at the same time. Although it was just the southerners who were making trouble now, James Longst would be infinitely magnified as soon as there was a little problem, and everyone would come to cause trouble. This was also quite unfavorable to Brian himself in Congress. This new secretary of state was not such a bad thing that harmed others and was not good for himself.

"Sheerman, if you are willing to serve as commander, I think Longst will definitely not compete with you." Brian replied in response to Sherman's question.

"I won't be the commander, at least not now." Sherman sighed. Garfield has appointed James Longst, and he has a lot of questions at this time. And he is not trying to compete with anyone, but to ask what Bryan is the purpose.

"Since you don't want to, I can only let James Longst take action. After all, there are not many people who can compare their qualifications with Grant." Brian smiled.

"Wouldn't you be afraid that Longst would lose the same way?" Sherman frowned.

"No. I believe in his ability." Brian said.

"Okay, since you think so... I wish you good luck." This guy didn't plan to say it anymore. Sherman analyzed from Brian's expression and knew that the other party was not going to say much to him, which made him feel frustrated. When Hayes was there, this guy didn't dare to be so arrogant, but just a few days ago? It would be great if Hayes could be re-elected, that would be a person who would never affect business due to personal grudges. What a pity!

...

"Why is it another James? The president is called James, and the secretary of state is also called James. Now there is another one... is the United States opened by their family?"

The new opponent is coming soon, James Longst, a famous southern general during the Civil War! Unfortunately, this title is useless to the Chinese workers, and everyone is more interested in the name of the new opponent. However, Guo Jinzhang and others were calm. They raised Tom Hannis, who was detained in the prisoner-of-war camp, and asked about the specific situation of the third James. Then, they learned about the new opponent's experience and experience, including the fact that this famous southern general was eventually called a traitor and a lackey by the southerners. These things were connected with so many people who got from the outside world opposing Longst's new appointment, and they became increasingly confused about what the White House was doing:

"Isn't this a trick? Who can't use it? Just use such a person who doesn't like it on both sides!"

"I think I understand." Guo Jinzhang thought for a while and laughed.

"you understand?"
