Sabertooth - Chapter 30
Chapter 30: The Death of ‘Stone Wall’ (3)
“Thomas Jackson, former artillery instructor of the Federal Virginia Military Academy, is now a major general of the rebels, nicknamed ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson. He has led the rebels to defeat the EFF many times. Now, I sentence you to death for treason. Immediate carried out!”
With that said, Victor threw the trial order signed by President Lincoln personally to the side, and rushed towards the last guard, who carried the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson over there.
“General, I’m sorry … It seems I have no way to take you back. I am the sinner of the Alliance!”
The tall Southern Army guard choked down wile saying this and put his general on the ground, then turned around and chose to face his own destiny.
“Cough, it’s okay, Frank. This may be God’s will.”
The ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson backed by a big tree hadn’t finished speaking. The Southern Army guard named Frank had been rushed over to ‘Sabertooth Tiger’ Victor and then Victor broke his neck.
“You are Victor Sabertooth, right? You were so good in the battle at Rapa Hannock Railway Station! It seems that this is my destiny. I can no longer see the day when the Alliance is independent. It’s not reconciling! When the Southern League needed me most, it fell down!”
Looking at the Federal Army captain ‘Sabertooth Tiger’ Victor step by step, the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson, who knew he was about to die soon, began to talk about his last words.
“Yes, General Jackson, you are an excellent general, and you are a legend. But your destiny, from the time you have betrayed the Union, has been doomed. It’s time to go, General.”
With that, Victor bent down and then squatted in front of the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson, grabbing the other person’s neck with his left hand.
Just the moment Victor was about to pinch his neck, the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson pulled out his bayonet hidden in his arms and stabbed Victor’s kidney.
“You are really a ‘Stone Wall’, but all you do is meaningless.”
Victor pulled out the bayonet inserted in his kidney without changing his face. Then in Jackson’s surprised and terrified eyes, the wound caused by the bayonet stopped bleeding, and then healed automatically, leaving no scars .
“What the hell are you! Uh …”
And then the legendary general ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson die.
“Your battle is over, it’s time to go home.”
With that said, Victor closed his eyes for ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson, and then took away Jackson’s sabre as a proof of killing.
Originally he wanted to behead his head, but he felt that it was too profane to blame the other person’s body, and it was not easy to preserve. It was not a good thing to engage in a bad smell.
The South and the North fight each other because of different positions and beliefs, but it is too lacking to blaspheme the other’s body after the other’s death, especially in the situation, where they once stood under the same banner.
And in order to prevent these guards bodies from being swallowed by beasts, Victor dug a pit and buried them all, and then inserted their bayonet in front of their graves.
As for the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson’s body, Victor put him on the horse, and took him not far from the gate of the Southern Army station, and then took a picture of the horse carrying the Jackson’s body and let it carry him. The owner ‘goes home’.
“Who?! Stop it! I will shoot without stopping!”
As the horse approached, it was soon discovered by the Southern Army sentinel responsible for vigilance. The sentinel found no response after warning, so he shot directly.
As a result, the frightened horse rushed into the camp, and then the sentry realized that it was not a living person but a corpse.
“General Jackson!”
When he saw the corpse’s face clearly, he checked and found that ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson is died.
“What’s wrong? It’s just a corpse, how is it like a ghost? Ah! This is General Jackson!?”
His anomaly also attracted the attention of his companions. With this shout, the entire southern military camp became lively, but all this had nothing to do with Victor. His mission was over. So he go back to get credit.
However, I have to say that many times fate is such a coincidence. After Jackson’s death, General Hill, who succeeded him, was hit by Victor, who was mixed in the 11th army, on the second day of the attack.
Who called this recalcitrant general out of anger, riding a tall horse to lead the charge towards the EFF.
General Hill fell down to command, and he was commanded by the original cavalry commander: Stark, yes Stark.
After he succeeded Hill’s command, he didn’t have many outstanding performances. After all, he could only ride a horse, and he had no flying armor, right?
But his shells were as accurate and deadly as someone’s missiles, the day after he took over the command of General Hill. In an exchange with the North Army, an artillery shell fired by his artillery flew too far and accurately hit the headquarters of the EFF at that time.
Moreover, Hook just happened to receive good news from Victor’s assassination, and ran to the headquarters to prepare for Victor’s help. As soon as he stepped in his forefoot, the shells fell from the sky.
Then he went blank and knew nothing. The headless EFF had to retreat, while fighting and began to move closer to the river.
At this time, Edward Lee, who did not know that Hook was in a coma, once again divided his troops, and he ordered Stark to continue to monitor Hook’s army.
Then he led his troops to rescue Frederick Castle, and the Sergeant General Sedgwick, who had just won here, was informed that Hook was in a coma. 90 million EFF were waiting for his 24,000 people to save their lives.
As a result, when he assembled his troops to return to the army to support, Hook, who was awakened from the coma, had ordered the whole army to retreat, and the Sedgwick that was dropped was beaten by Lee.
The battle finally ended in the cheers of Richmond, and the residents of the Southern Union rushed to tell each other that they once again defended their capital. The miracle belongs to the alliance!
After cheering, it was an unprecedented grand funeral. They lost their hero forever: Thomas Jackson, who also known as the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson.
The bells of churches throughout the South rang for the dead ‘Jackson’, while the North felt relieved. A West Point classmate from Jackson said the words of President Lincoln and the generals in the North: We are finally not afraid.
At the same time, as the grand funeral for the ‘Stone Wall’ Jackson in the south, a ceremony of honoring was being held in the White House in Washington.
“Congratulations! Victor Sabertooth! You are the pride of the 7th Cavalry Regiment and the 14th Militia Regiment in Brooklyn!”
Lincoln smiled and put the Medal of Honor on Victor and said that this is a permanent honor that the Federation has just established to honor brave soldiers, who show bravery and outstanding achievements.
The decree establishing this honor was personally signed by President Lincoln and can only be issued by the President of the Federal Armed Forces, the Supreme Commander.
“It’s not bad, you can use it as a permanent subsistence allowance for experts to get a certificate. As long as the federal government does not go bankrupt, you don’t have to worry about losing subsistence allowance.”
The winner of this honor can enjoy a special pension of 200 US troops per month for life, and the medal can be inherited by the children of the winner. After learning of this policy, Victor was very happy.
Another thing that made him happy is that his ‘Team X’ actually got listed in the White House and became a special department under the president.
In this era, when neither the FBI nor the CIA had taken shape, the federal government had only a loose intelligence organization affiliated with the military, but Victor received this special listing because of his personal particularity.
And his rank was directly promoted to lieutenant colonel. As for his department, apart from equipping him with a petite female secretary, he was the only one.
“Bachelor Commander, has the right to self-recruit, but it must be a ‘special person’ like me, and guarantee absolute loyalty to the President and the Federation after being recruited. Interesting!’
Victor sat back in his chair while looking at information about his new department, and then put his legs on the desk.
“Lord Colonel! There is a secret order from the President.”
When Victor threw the information book aside and pulled out a bottle of whiskey from under the table to prepare for a drink, his petite little secretary pushed the door in and said.
Afterwards, she took Victor’s collection of whiskey out of Victor’s distressed eyes, leaving behind a ‘secret order’ from President Lincoln.
“Victor, this time your goal is our old acquaintance: ‘Mrs. Greenhow’. I think you should be impressed with her.
After being expelled from Washington, she was warmly welcomed by the Yankees in Richmond and published a book.
After that, she served as the diplomatic officer of the group of rebels and went to Europe to publicize their career and wanted to get support from European countries.
But because of the “Slavery Declaration” some time ago, her behavior was frustrated. Now that we have reliable information from the European intelligence service, she will return from North Carolina to the south by boat in the near future.
Your task is simple; go there so that she can never speak again. Of course, I will send someone to assist you. Tomorrow you will know when you go to the Federal Naval Department.
Everything for the Federation! President of the United States: Lincoln.”
After reading the president’s secret order, Victor lit a match, torched the secret order that he had put in his mind, and then lit a cigarette by the burning flame, submerging his expression. In the lingering smoke.
