Chapter 22 Assassination

"Scarlett Hao! If you do something like this, can't you say hello to me in advance?"

Petey's fat face was full of helplessness.

"I wonder why a giant wolf that's not afraid of bullets suddenly came out!"

"Calm down, Petey, it's not a big deal."

Scarlett Hao said calmly.

"We have no way out, and the Yankees will not let us go. If the southern army cannot retake Atlanta within a week, the Western Front battlefield will be completely over. Sooner or later, I will be burned at the stake by the Yankees. "

"You are right. The city is not safe now. Some people are no longer trustworthy. If anyone informs someone, I will be hanged too."

Pitty said, "If it hadn't been for the recent attacks on Northern troops outside the city that distracted their attention, the Yankees would have started a large-scale manhunt in the city."

"Are they General Lee's troops?"

Scarlett Hao was a little happy. General Lee was the spiritual pillar of the South. If he had not given up Atlanta, then everything was still unknown.

"No, they are a very strange group of people. Their clothes and hats are very different from ours."

After hearing what Petey said, Paine knew in his heart that those people should be other players.

"Anyway, it's a good thing that there are people who continue to fight against the Yankees. They can just cover us."

Scarlett Hao smiled.

"I have a plan. I need your channel to inform the Southern troops hiding in the wilderness. I will create a big chaos in Atlanta in three days to attract the attention of the Yankees and prepare General Lee's troops to counterattack! If this fails to take back the city of Atlanta, then there is no hope for us!"

"Scarlett Hao, there are only remnants of General Lee left. There are more than 20,000 Yankees in the city. There is a huge difference in our strength."

"You have a point, Petey."

Scarlett Hao narrowed her eyes and said.

"Right now, if I want to confront the Yankee army head-on, it's like hitting a stone with an egg. But, who said I'm going to have a head-on confrontation? You should know that even if they are the most disciplined troops, the soldiers have a bottom line. Once they If the fear and pressure experienced exceeds the limit, but the superiors fail to provide timely relief or suppression, things like camp roars will occur, and this chain reaction is enough to collapse an army of tens of thousands."

"How many more monsters like that can you get out?"

"Then I can't do it. It's not easy to bring out a monster like that."

Scarlett Hao shook her finger.

"We just need to keep assassinating influential people. The greater the influence, the better. The more panicked they are, the more opportunities they have to kill higher-value people."

"You want to assassinate Sherman? This is impossible. Sherman is very afraid of death. You can't get close to him at all."

Petey said.

"It's not like our people haven't tried before, but the difficulty is too high. Now it's difficult to even get close to Sherman's station, and he barely leaves home, so there's no chance to assassinate him."

"It doesn't matter, we have better goals."

"who?"

"Isn't that what you said? That well-established war reporter should still be in Atlanta. If he dies suddenly, how do you think Sherman will react?"

"Hiss—that makes sense."

Looking at the two women who began to discuss the details, Paine suddenly felt like he had entered a den of terrorists.
