There was no guarantee that all black people would be free.
After all, in America now, black people are more representative of slaves in this land.
Vino didn't know how the black man in front of him did it.
He could actually get proof of freedom, if it weren't for the shortage of manpower, and he had such a proof.
There will never be anyone with his skin color in the army.
Vino did not continue. He turned and walked into the combat command room. They only had three thousand soldiers left.
As the closest troops to Philadelphia, they would be the vanguard once the operation began.
Therefore, exploring the enemy's situation, figuring out the opponent's route, and clearing all obstacles for the main force are what they need to do now.
And more importantly, they also need to ensure the safety of the people of Philadelphia!
Before they retreated, a large number of Philadelphians evacuated.
If the safety of the people cannot be guaranteed, their previous efforts will be in vain.
"Your Excellency Pano, it is impossible for these people to stay with us in the army all the time."
"The target for our troops is too large and it is extremely easy to be attacked by the enemy."
"And we only have 3,000 troops now. If we are attacked, it will be difficult for us to protect ourselves, let alone protect them."
As the congressman who initially led the Philadelphians to retreat, Pano also became worried when faced with the survival problem of tens of thousands of Philadelphians!
In fact, both Pano and General Vino knew the best way.
As long as you choose to give up on these civilians, all problems will be solved!
But they can't do this!
Once you choose this path, you are giving up the lives of these Philadelphians!
Without the protection of the army, they will definitely be attacked by the enemy, and what awaits these people may only be the fate of destruction.
Pano said in a deep voice: "How many kilometers are there from the nearest safe area here?"
"Perhaps we can direct these people to retreat there."
"The nearest safe zone is at least a hundred kilometers away from us, in Boston."
"If it's the army, it will take at least three days, but those civilians have already gone through enough torture."
"It's completely impossible for them to evacuate to Boston within three days."
Both of them were anxious for a while.
He didn't even know what to do, but at this moment, the informant came in and said: "The general has a man from Boston who wants to see you."
"He said he could help us."
Hearing this, Vino was suspicious.
He was completely confused about this stranger and had no idea who he was.
However, Wei Nuo still said with the mentality of giving it a try: "You ask him to come in."
"yes……"
Soon the man walked in, and as soon as he entered, the aura of wealth and wealth hit his face.
Not to mention the expensive woolen coat, just look at the gold and gem rings of various colors on his ten fingers.
The clothes are embroidered with gold, and the single-sided glasses also have gold frames.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like a nouveau riche.
In the eyes of Vino and Pano, this outfit is simply vulgar!
But the other party played with one of his eyes without knowing it, pretending to be elegant and knowledgeable.
But his illiterate nature was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth!
"Sir Wei Nuo, I'm here to help you. We are now developed and can help you."
Listening to the voice, Vino immediately recognized who the person in front of him was. It was Texter who had been hanging out with him all day long!
"Texter! Why are you here?"
Texter used to be Vino's neighbor, a lucky guy, but the last time Vino knew he spent all his wealth to buy copper dollar coupons, which were worth as much as waste paper at the time.
He knew that his luck might end here.
But seeing how wealthy the other party is now, it doesn't look like he is bankrupt at all.
Texter held Vino's hand solemnly and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Mr. Vino!"
"Thanks to you for reminding me of the value of copper dollar coupons. Now Boston has implemented a new policy to exchange the newly issued banknotes for the copper dollar coupons I bought with the waste paper money."
“This time, I’m making crazy money!”
After hearing these words, Vino retracted his palm in a daze, and his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, numb!
How far can one's luck reach?
Vino couldn't help but reflect on why he didn't have such good luck!
In a fit of envy, jealousy and hatred, Vino pinched his forehead and asked, "So why did you come to me today?"
Dexter said with a smile: "I used the money there to buy two ocean-going cruise ships. Later I heard that Long Yan sells a new gadget called a car."
"So I put some money in."
"It just so happened that my convoy just arrived here when I heard what happened to you."
"So I want to help you transport people."
Hearing this, Vino burst out laughing.
There was no envy or jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Dexter. Although he didn't know what a car was, helping them transport people sounded ridiculous.
There were thirty thousand civilians, and even transporting them by horse-drawn carriage would take a lot of time.
It takes at least a day!
And to use carriages, at least three thousand carriages are needed, which is enough to assemble a cavalry brigade!
He now understands that Dexter's IQ does not match his wealth.
Sooner or later he will go bankrupt.
Vino declined politely: "Sorry Dexter, you can't help with the trouble we are facing now."
"But thank you for your kindness."
Dexter said disapprovingly: "Don't worry, General, I'm not short of money. I imported more than 2,000 cars from Longyan. It's my first time driving one and I have no experience."
"Longyan people told me that these cars are very fast and are very good for transporting people and goods. I really want to give them a try."
Two thousand cars!
This is really not a small amount, but I don't think these things called cars can help them.
I had never heard of such a thing as a car before.
He suspected that Dexter had been deceived by the Longyan merchant, but he couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm.
"How fast can it be?"
He thought for a moment and said, "In three hours, you can run a hundred kilometers!"
Hearing this, Vino glanced at Pano, and he couldn't help laughing!
Even the fastest war horse in the world cannot reach this speed.
He was now convinced beyond belief that Dexter had been deceived.
He looked at Dexter with pity in his eyes.
Dexter pulled Vino and said, "Don't worry, I've tried everything, and there's absolutely no problem."
"If you don't believe it, sit on it and take a look."
"Okay." Vino promised Dexter, he didn't want to make this lucky man sad.
It feels so uncomfortable to reject someone outright.
But just after Vino got in and the car started, he regretted it!
