Chapter 45: Chaotic Situation (Part 1)

Scarlett Scarlett is a white woman. As a senior racist, Sherman naturally cannot keep Scarlett Scarlett and Paine together. Father Sherman took Scarlett to the makeshift church, while Paine was thrown into a prisoner of war camp.

But luckily there were no other prisoners of war in the camp at this time. They were all sent into formation to build trenches overnight, so it was now empty. Although there was no one in the tent where the prisoners of war lived, it was filled with a stench. The prisoners had no opportunity to bathe and change clothes here. Paine believed there were definitely lice here, but he was not particularly worried because he believed he would not spend the night here.

Sure enough, Paine, who was playing a chase game with the lice in the tent, was waiting for his savior.

Petey is here to get someone.

She first went to Sherman, then took Sherman's note to pick up Scarlett, and finally came to pick up Paine who was sent to a prisoner of war camp. In order to prevent Sherman from changing his mind, the three of them hurriedly left the military camp and hurriedly got into the carriage that had been prepared in advance - this carriage was the one in the warehouse, and the driver was still the old black man Peter.

After driving a little distance, Petey breathed a sigh of relief and started talking to Scarlett and Hermione.

"Sorry, I kept you waiting for a while. I had already fallen asleep when I got the news. Are you okay? I really didn't expect that there would be problems in that direction. Fortunately, I mentioned it to Sherman before. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to fish you out so easily.”

Petey looked a little scared.

"It's okay. Although we couldn't leave the city, we took care of the traitor Rhett Butler." Scarlett Hao looked like she was relieved of her hatred, "That guy is finally dead."

"That would be great!"

Petey was very excited when he heard the news, "The butcher Sherman didn't tell me about it at all. He even hinted that Rhett Butler was not dead and revealed more information about me. Fortunately, I withstood the pressure. I didn’t say anything, otherwise I would have been tricked!”

"What? Sherman is trying to trick you?"

"Rhett Butler, a multi-faceted spy, did reveal some things about me to him, but for some unknown reason, he deliberately concealed the news from Sherman that there was an Old World armed force in Atlanta."

"Presumably he had already taken refuge with those mysterious people at that time."

Paine said, "He needs you to create chaos for him so that those mysterious people can seize the city."

"Then why would he tell Sherman about me? It would do him no good at all."

Petey wondered.

"I'm afraid that Rhett Butler is still dreaming about making long bets. I'm afraid he is also worried about whether those mysterious people can take Atlanta, so he simply revealed your connection with the Southern Army. If those mysterious people don't win in the end, The Yankees in Lower Atlanta won a great victory, and he was able to escape unscathed and receive a reward from the North."

Scarlett Hao said.

"Maybe that's the case. He's dead anyway, so there's nothing left to study. By the way, I forgot to mention just now. Sherman emphasized to me that it's wartime and no one is allowed to leave the city. He will send people to keep an eye on us. .”

Petey looked at Scarlett, "What should we do? The mysterious man kidnapped General Lee and took control of the southern army, and the Yankees are also our enemies. They are all eyeing Atlanta. And we only have a small army at hand. The armed forces have been besieged for many days, and the mercenaries who came here for money are very impatient. We have to come up with an idea. What should we do?"

"Can we break out?"

Scarlett Hao said coldly.

"It's almost impossible. I dare say there are Yankees following us from a distance now. That guy Sherman is very suspicious. It's just that the timing is not good for him to attack directly. I heard before that he was planning to burn down the entire Atlanta. Drop it." Petey said helplessly.

"What?!"

Paine didn't find it strange. In the official history of Blue Star in the previous life, the butcher Sherman did burn down the entire Atlanta. Many old people and women who were unwilling to leave their homes were burned to death. Later, Atlanta was rebuilt on the ruins of the city, and an "underground street" was retained, which could only be reached by taking an elevator down.
