Wild North America 1846

Chapter 119 Yankee's Confidence
I inspected various constructions in Indian Valley, and the brick kiln has begun to be shipped in large quantities. The kiln is fired with high-quality coal produced locally in Denver, with strong firepower and high combustion value.

What's even more rare is that the coal mine is buried shallow. After removing the floating soil more than two meters deep on the surface, you can dig coal directly, digging as much as you want.

In addition, the quality of the local alpine clay is very good. Among the Chinese workers, there are many old watches from Jiangxi, who originally had the skills of firing porcelain kilns, and soon several small-scale porcelain kilns were established.

Besides
The food factory is installing equipment, the flour mill has been put into operation, and the snow-white and fine flour is continuously produced, which greatly improves the material supply status of Denver Castle.

The only regret is that rice cannot be planted for the time being due to the climate, and it is difficult for Chinese immigrants in Guangdong, Guangxi and the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian to eat the rice they have longed for.

Then you have to wait until the beginning of spring when the temperature rises before you can plant.

It's a pity that by that time, perhaps the US military has already suppressed the border, and all the crops outside the castle fortress can only be barren or completely burned.

In the depths of the valley, Li Cha saw a large area of ​​farmland that had been opened up, and the irrigation canals were well built, and the cold-resistant crops such as Chinese cabbage, radish and pepper were planted, and the growth was gratifying.

Presumably, by the beginning of spring next year, the place will definitely be full of rice. The yield of the first year's raw land may not be very high, but it will be enough to satisfy the appetite of Chinese gluttons.

It seems that as long as there is a chance, Chinese immigrants can successfully grow rice on the Denver Plateau.

Now in Denver Castle, you can already eat a series of soy products such as tofu, tofu skin, dried tofu, gluten oil, dried orchids, and stinky tofu.

It is estimated that it will not be long before rice noodles, Liangpi, rice cakes, Ningbo glutinous rice balls, glutinous rice cakes and other snacks will emerge one after another. Thinking of this makes people drool.

Alas, I have nowhere to put my Chinese appetite!

Li Cha shook his head with a wry smile. There are tens of thousands of convicts and more than 1000 Chinese laborers participating in the hard-working construction of this Indian valley, which is rapidly changing the original landscape of the valley.

Brand-new factory buildings were completed one after another, tall windmills were turning, roads and housing construction were in full swing, and it was a thriving scene.

it won't take long

With the start of the Taniguchi Fortress project and the trial production of the cement plant, the construction of the entire Indian Valley will enter the fast lane, racing against time.

Thought of here
Li Cha couldn't help a smile from the corner of his mouth, he took the reins of the horse and jumped onto the horse's back, calling out to Liu Wu and the rest of the cavalry guards; Kingdom soldiers suddenly arrived, we want to give them a big surprise, drive!"

after speaking
He took the lead and galloped away, and the cavalry guards behind him were full of spirits, screaming in their mouths and rode their horses to follow closely behind, and the sound of horseshoes rumbled away...

Chicago, USA

In 1846, Chicago in the United States was already a large city with a population of nearly 30, and it was growing rapidly. Together with Detroit, it was called the shining "Twin Cities" of the Great Lakes region, and it was also the third largest city after New York and Philadelphia.

The military barracks on the outskirts of the city were full of people, and there were many volunteer militia teams from surrounding areas, with a total of nearly 1.6 people. It was one of the key cities for war preparations.

The military chief of the Chicago base is Major General Tris Spike. He is one of the four newly promoted major generals of the Continental Army and is responsible for presiding over the overall work of the Chicago base.

And here is also one of the base camps of the Western Expeditionary Army. The other is in Kansas City. The scale of the assembled troops is slightly smaller, but it has reached 1.1 people.

Standing under the eaves of the porch, with a corncob pipe in his mouth and hands on his hips, Major General Tris Spike was watching the US military training with a high-spirited and self-satisfied expression.

On the training ground
Thousands of U.S. soldiers lined up, rehearsing the musketeer tactics of queuing up and shooting, marching step by step with the sound of military music, which looked really lively.

on the other side of the training ground

The U.S. horse team galloped away like dark clouds, the sound of rumbling horseshoes was like rolling thunder, and the ground trembled under the stampede, the momentum was very impressive.

With such a huge lineup, Major General Tris Spike is very satisfied. He will command this powerful army to conquer the Tang Kingdom and crush everything with his powerful strength.

"Look, Frank, our lads are the best, and I'll lead 'em all the way to L.A., and beat the crap out of that fucking mad king, and give you a good piss."

There was a hint of showing off in Major General Tris Spike's words, and he glanced at Major General Frank Gilhoury standing beside him, full of Versailles.

As a defeated general, Major General Frank Gilhoury is now the deputy commander of the Chicago base. Seeing the triumphant expression of Major General Tris Spike, who is more than 10 years younger than him, he almost burst out to greet his mother.

Forcibly suppressing the disgust in his heart, Major General Frank Gilhouli twitched the corner of his mouth, and said in a calm voice; "Mr. Major General, that mad king is not as easy to deal with as you expected. There was almost no direct battle between me and him. But he has been led by the nose. Although the mad king is young, he is extremely cunning."

"Oh, then my interest will be even greater."

"I would like to solemnly remind you, Mr. Major General, that the Tang Kingdom has a cuirassier regiment with good combat effectiveness, and they are equipped with a powerful cavalry revolver capable of six bursts. The firepower completely overwhelms the US military. In conventional semi-circular tactics, charge...shoot...circle, charge again...shoot, and so on, until the U.S. cavalry is defeated. With the blessing of advanced weapons, this is quite a threat to our cavalry?"

"I heard from you that this is a cavalry team with no more than 1300 troops. Under the iron heels of the army, I don't believe he can last two rounds. We have assembled nearly 7000 cavalry troops, the number of which is theirs. more than 5 times that of

"That shouldn't be taken lightly, these orientals are very weird."

"General Frank, I have to remind you, don't take advantage of others' prestige and destroy your own morale. Under the crushing of absolute strength, all ghost plots will eventually melt like ice and snow."

Major General Tris Spike was already in a somewhat unhappy mood. He stretched out his left hand and took the corn cob pipe out of his mouth. There was a trace of coldness in the corner of his mouth, and his tone was like an extraordinary warning.

How can a mere defeated general disturb the morale of our army here?

The army with a scale of 8000 was defeated as soon as it was defeated, and the entire army was wiped out. This dealt a particularly heavy blow to the confidence of the US military.

If you fight like you, no matter how rich your family is, it's not enough to toss about.
