Chapter 332 How strong is the Confederacy? Will the top three permanent members become the top four permanent members?
With your own brush.

Li Cunxu also proposed a bold plan.

The main reason was that Li Cunxu saw that the gap in strength between the North and the South of the United States was very obvious.

Just look at the data on paper.

It is said to be three times or even five times the gap.

They are all considered relatively conservative.

With such a huge gap in national strength.

Want to fight a long battle.

It was difficult for the Confederacy to win.

But as an emperor who successfully defeated the strong with the weak.

Li Cunxu has now formed path dependence.

Li Cunxu noticed that Virginia is only more than 100 kilometers away from the US capital Washington.

It's just a small section on the map.

This gave Li Cunxu inspiration.

Just simply outline it with a few lines.

"It would be very difficult to win if the South and the North went to war."

"The North's national strength advantage is too obvious."

"If the battle lasts a long time, the Northern Army can definitely send more troops to the front."

"We can also separate a large group of troops and move to the flank."

"Thus dividing and encircling the South."

"It's just like when the Wei Kingdom destroyed Shu Han. They had more troops than you and were suppressing you."

"Then we can send out flanking troops to steal the home base."

"The key is to look at the terrain of the United States. There are mountains on the east and west sides, but it is relatively flat in the middle."

"The southern states are most likely undefensible."

"I can almost conclude."

"Unless the North is full of fools and the South is full of war gods."

"As long as this American Civil War continues, the North will win."

"But the South has a chance to blitz."

"The rebels can prepare in advance."

"As soon as the rebellion flag is raised, concentrate superior forces."

"Blitz Washington!"

"If we can capture Washington, we can even win the war directly and force the United States to recognize the independence of the South."

"Even if the northern Confederacy of the United States is tough, it is unwilling to compromise even if it loses its capital."

"But if the Confederacy could take Washington in one fell swoop."

"At least it can greatly improve the momentum."

"Look at the celestial map for states that also have slavery, and states that are ambiguous about their stance."

"It is possible that they will also join the southern regime."

“Thereby fundamentally changing the balance of power between the two countries.”

"But there is only one chance to strike like this."

“I don’t know how strong the soldiers of the Southern Army were at that time when their national strength was weaker.”

"What about the command level of the Southern Commander?"

"If the country is not as strong as the other side, the soldiers' fighting ability is not good enough, and the commander's command level is not good enough."

"That's true. There's no way to fight."

"Or you can only wait to die."

"Otherwise, they can only count on other powerful countries abroad to support them."

……

Li Cunxu, the strongest second generation of Later Tang.

A grand strategy of blitzkrieg was formulated.

However, Li Shimin, the strongest second generation of the Tang Dynasty, was still thinking carefully and preparing to wait and see.

The sky continues.

【In 1861, the largest city in the Southern states was New Orleans.】

【At the time, there were nearly 17 people.】

[Among the eleven southern states, the weakest and least influential state is the famous state of Florida. ]

[At the time, the population was only 14, less than the population of New Orleans.]

[The rednecks’ base is in the powerful state of Texas in the United States. ]

【At that time, the population was only 60. 】

【After reading about the power distribution of the southern states in 1861. 】

【Look at the Southern states today. 】

【You will find that the situation is completely different. 】

[Virginia, once the leader, now ranks only fifth among the eleven southern states. ] [And Texas and Florida, once inconspicuous and home to country bumpkins. ]

[It will become the most populous, powerful, and influential state in the Confederacy.]

[Especially in Texas where rednecks gather. ]

[Will undoubtedly become the strongest state in the South,]

【Served as a leader in the Confederacy. 】

[And Houston would become the largest city in the Confederacy.]

[In addition, six of the Confederate States' ten largest cities are located in Texas.]

[Texas' special status in the Confederacy is evident. ]

【If that's the case. 】

[The capital of the South should no longer be the inconspicuous Richmond of today.]

[And most likely, in Tallahassee, Florida.]

[Or Austin, Texas.]

【After looking at the total number and distribution of the territory’s population. 】

[Next, we will focus on the military strength of the South. ]

【After all, if the South becomes independent again. 】

[There will undoubtedly be a new round of internal conflict with the United States. 】

【Just like in the movies.】

[This can also be seen from the map. ]

【The southern states occupy an absolute minority of the area. 】

【Except for overseas territories. 】

【The continental area of ​​the United States is more than 700 million square kilometers. 】

[In terms of area, the Northern Federation will cover more than 500 million square kilometers.]

【The Confederacy, on the other hand, only had 200 million square kilometers. 】

【In terms of population. 】

[Although the population of the South exceeds 2 million, the population of the rest of the United States is more than million.]

[In terms of GDP, the GDP of the Confederacy will exceed 9 trillion US dollars. ]

[The rest of the United States has a GDP more than twice that of the Southern regime.]

【Close to 200000 trillion US dollars.】

[This super strong economic strength made it possible for the United States to survive even after losing all eleven southern states.]

【It is still the world's number one economy. 】

[The GDP of the Confederacy would rank third in the world.]

【In addition, in terms of military spending. 】

[It’s the same as GDP. ]

[The Confederacy's military spending will exceed $2200 billion, ranking third in the world.]

[But it still cannot match the North’s military budget. ]

【Because the North’s military expenditure will exceed 6800 billion US dollars. 】

[If a civil war breaks out immediately, the military expenditures of these two regimes will surely increase further.]

【But if we only look at the military scale. 】

[The military strength comparison between the two sides at the first time would not have such a big gap. ]

【If converted according to the scale of 1861. 】

[If the United States had gone to civil war immediately, the initial number of soldiers in the Confederacy would have exceeded 120 million.]

[And the number of soldiers of the Northern Federal Government of the United States was at most 130 million.]

【But it can be seen from previous data. 】

【On the potential for war. 】

[The Confederacy still cannot compare with the Union. ]

【If the war continues, it will become a protracted war. 】

【It can be confirmed.】

[In the end, the number of soldiers in the Northern Union will be at least twice that of the Southern Confederate government.]

[To summarize, if the eleven southern states were allowed to become independent immediately and form a new confederation. ]

[This Southern Confederacy will have a significant influence on the global scale. ]

【It will become the world’s third largest economy. 】

[The military strength will easily surpass the lower two of the five permanent members. ]

[The Northern Federal Government is still most likely the strongest in the world. ]

[And the South is no longer the weak country with a population of only a few million that it once was. ]

[And will become a top global power! ]

Outside the sky.

When the ancient people saw this, they were also surprised and moved.
