Chapter 361: The Perfect Strategy

After a quick perspective of the march notebook, Ye Tian finished the perspective and retracted his gaze!

Although the perspective time was very short, he was already in cold sweat and was terrified!

The notes recorded on this march notebook, he could see blood and fire everywhere on each date, and that paragraph of text, each letter revealed endless killing!

In the process of reading, Ye Tian felt that he was also following the Sherman army, starting from Chattanooga, and smashing the southern United States completely and upset!

"As expected to be a famous demon commander! It really deserves his reputation! It's so cruel!"

Ye Tian sighed secretly, and moved his eyes away from the foot of the table.

And in his mind, he was still thinking about the crazy killing that Sherman made in the American South!

When his army left Savannah and went north to South Carolina to attack the back of the Southern Army, he burned Savannah to ashes, and called it a Christmas gift to President Lincoln!

Then came Columbia and Charleston in South Carolina. Almost every town and farm passed through was burned by Sherman's army!

The effect of this scorched earth policy was very powerful. The southerners were scared to be killed, and the logistics of the southern army was completely destroyed. The soldiers had no food to eat, so what about fighting?

In the end, under the encirclement of the Northern Army, the Southern Army could only surrender in Appomattox, Virginia, and the Civil War was over!

Sherman's large-scale raid brought serious disaster to the American South.

Calculated at today's value, the Sherman raid caused $2 trillion in property damage to the American South!

Hundreds of thousands of civilians died directly as a result of the great famine caused by the Sherman Army's raids and robberies. Millions of people became refugees and became homeless!

Since the Thirty Years' War, there has not been such a direct war atrocities against civilians in the West. At that time, Confederate President Davis called Sherman the "Attila of the American Continent", which shows his brutality!

Sherman completely broke the boundaries of war and extended the war to all people.

For more than a hundred years, the descendants of the people of the southern United States still have a grudge against the 'Sherman Sweep', passed on from generation to generation, and the hatred will never end!

In the southern United States, especially in Georgia and North and South Carolina, Sherman is synonymous with the devil and is hated by countless people!

The same was true in Mississippi. During the Civil War, 60% of white young adults in the state were killed, 90% of towns and plantations were reduced to ashes, and civilian private property was lost.

After the war, Mississippi not only ranked first among the poorest states in the United States, but this poverty situation has continued for a century.

Sherman, who made all of this, do nothing to to help after the war end and his official career was prosperous and he was awarded the rank of general from the highest ever official to the commander-in-chief of the army.

Throughout his life, Sherman did not say any words of repentance, apology or regret for his actions in the American South.

Before he died, he said:

"I have nothing to confess or apologize for, what I did is worthy of my conscience."

In addition to frantically sweeping the American South and becoming a public enemy of the South, between 1870 and 1880, he launched a large-scale surrender of the Indians and completely wiped out the Indian power!

This time, he succeeded in making himself the devil in the eyes of the Indians, and they hated him!

Now, the march notebook of this war madman are in front of him, and the most authentic history of the American Civil War is in front of him. How could Ye Tian not be ecstatic!

Although he had never seen any documents signed by Sherman, or any words written and was impossible to judge from the handwriting, but only based on the red light emitted from this march notebook, he could be 100% sure.

This is definitely General Sherman's own march notebook, no doubt!

At the same time, he is also very clear that these two pieces of furniture must be taken, no matter what the cost!

Fortunately, these two pieces of furniture are not worth much, and can be done with tens of thousands of dollars!

The decision was made, he immediately said to Betty:

"Honey, wait here for a while, I will go to the stall owner, I am going to take down these two pieces of furniture!"

"Ok!"

Betty nodded in response, although she was a little surprised, but she didn't ask much.

"Ah! Buy these two pieces of furniture? I heard you right? They are not worth much! Besides, how can we take away such a big size furniture? Can't store in the SUV! Is it possible to hire a car and transport it back to New York?"

Jason asked in surprise, a little bit not understanding Ye Tian's approach.

Is there any secret hidden in these two pieces of furniture? Steven found them, so is preparing to take them down!

Thinking of this, Jason couldn't help taking a closer look at these two pieces of furniture.

Unfortunately, he still doesn't see any value! Not to see any secrets!

"Hahaha, don't worry, I have a way to deal with this big guy! They belong to me!"

Ye Tian chuckled and said in a low voice, with a very positive tone.

Who said that him is going to take it to the Corridor 127, as long as he take out the march notebook inside, the furniture will be given to the buddies on the spot!

"Steven, are there any treasures or secrets hidden in these two pieces of furniture?"

Jason walked over and asked in a low voice, full of curiosity.

Betty and Sophie were equally curious, both looking at Ye Tian, ​​looking forward to his answer!

"Bingo! You guessed it! These two pieces of furniture do hide secrets. I found some clues. I don't know what the secret is and whether it is valuable? I need to discover it!

You only need to do one thing now, use your mobile phone to film the whole process of buying these two pieces of furniture and the discovering the secrets, and also conduct a live transmission. This is video evidence to avoid unnecessary disputes!

If it is an ordinary discovery, it's fine, no one cares, but if it is a major discovery, then we must have sufficient evidence to prove its legal source. This is called preparedness!"

Ye Tian explained it in a low voice, with excitement in his tone.

The reason why Ye Tian chose to do this was considered.

This is not an ordinary antique cultural relic, but a piece of American history, and it is a very important piece of history!

To Americans, the value of this Sherman's march notebook is inestimable! It is by no means comparable to those tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars in antiques!

The discovery process must be made public. Not only do they have to make a video themselves to prove the source of this notebook, but also use reporters and professional treasure hunters on the scene to let them witness the deiscover of this march notebook!

Otherwise, who knows if anyone will be jealous and covet! Even cheating!

As long as this march notebook is revealed, every American university, every major museum, every scholar and institution that studies American history will be completely shaken! Going crazy!

This is the first-hand information of that period of history. It is undoubtedly the most accurate. It is invaluable for historical research. How can they not be crazy?

The White House, the Pentagon, the West Point Military Academy, etc., may even have covet this notebook!

General Sherman is one of the most respected military gods in the U.S. military. For his march notebook, the military naturally will covet. If there is a chance, they will definitely not let it go!

Without going into the distance, there is a most realistic threat ahead.

The Battles of Chattanooga Museum is also located on the top of Lookout Mountain, only a few hundred meters away!

If he bring this notebook back to New York and display it publicly, these bastards might dare to say that it was stolen from the Chattanooga Museum! Then openly ask for it, or go to court!

In the absence of solid evidence, the judge and the jury may not be on their side. He is not native Americans, and the possibility of being hacked by this gang of bastards is very high!

Even the Sotheby's auction house, which he often cooperates, Ye Tian doesn't intend to trust it for the time being!

Will Sotheby's hack him? Can they withstand pressure from all parties? He has no bottom!

He is going to carry this march notebook with him, once again strengthen the security force, that is the most secure, and this is also the best body armor!

In the face of huge fame and fortune, human nature may not stand the test!

As long as he make the discovery process completely public, he can stop everyone's mouth and dispel the covetous heart of many people, so as not to have extra branches!

Of course, choosing to publish this march notebook at this time has many disadvantages!

Tomorrow they will enter Georgia, and then Alabama.

If the Georgians and Alabamas know that they are carry the march notebook of the murderer Sherman with them, it is estimated that everyone will be completely crazy!

The next part of the journey is likely to become more dangerous, even difficult to move on!

Especially Atlanta, if he enter Atlanta with this march notebook, he will definitely be completely overwhelmed by people's anger. Don't even want to leave the bulletproof car and leave the hotel!

Although more than a hundred years have passed since Atlanta was burned, there are still countless slang words that curse Sherman among the people of Atlanta.

This shows how far the Atlantans hated General Sherman! It's no exaggeration to say that it is hatred!

In an instant, Ye Tian had already made a decision.

Cancel the trip to Atlanta and turn halfway to Alabama! Lest it ignite the city of Atlanta!

These thoughts flashed through Ye Tian's mind quickly. For now, this is the best solution imaginable! The rest can only be changed according to circumstances!

Soldiers come to block, water comes to land! This march notebook belongs to me, so don't want to take this priceless treasure from me!

Beside him, the three of Betty and Jason were already stunned in shock.

Steven discovered another hidden secret! It's incredible! He don't know what treasure is this time?

After the shock, the eyes of a few people suddenly beamed with excitement, and they all danced!

Fortunately, everyone has had this experience several times, and soon got under control. The expression quickly returned to normal, as if nothing happened!

"Okay! Steven, I'm going to film and broadcast it online right away! Don't worry, everyone will knows this video evidence immediately and no one can question it!"

Jason whispered excitedly, took out his phone and started preparing!

"Ok! You have to pay attention. It's best not to be spotted by the stall owner during filming. I'm afraid that guy will be suspicious, then the big thing will be bad, you guys first prepare, I will go to the stall owner!"

After speaking, Ye Tian turned and walked towards the busy stall owner.

The stall owner over there who was laughing and bargaining with a reporter, if he knew that he was about to become another hapless man in the Corridor 127 and probably the biggest hapless man ever!
