Wild North America 1846

Chapter 191 February [-]nd, the dragon rises its head

Mexico City
At this time, the presidential mansion was in chaos, and everyone was shouting around President Santayo. They danced and danced with emotion, as if they were going to tear him alive.

President Santayo is a short, fat man who is sitting on a chair with his head downcast, his head is in a mess, and he has no idea how to deal with the current complicated situation.

He is just a product of political party struggle and compromise. There is no strong political force and capitalist support behind him, no prestige or sufficient influence, and he is just a transitional figure.

However, President Santayo was unwilling to be lonely, and was always thinking about doing something impressive during his short term as president, so he set his sights on the Tang Kingdom.

Before that, he knew little about the Tang Kingdom.

I only know that this is a new dynasty mainly established by Orientals, defeated the Americans in the war, and occupied a large area of ​​​​the west coast of North America, that's all.

from the heart

President Santoyo, who believes in Catholicism, is quite repulsed by oriental pagans, and he will subconsciously regard the Tang Kingdom as his opponent. This is just a matter of personal likes and dislikes.

Now things are too big to end.

Touching porcelain has become a bloody case, which is unreasonable in the international community, and European countries have expressed their helplessness.

Even the United States, which has always claimed to be the leader in the Americas, has shrunk its head in this matter.

The United States still needs to lick the bleeding wound, and the relationship between the United States and Mexico has deteriorated extremely, and the United States cannot provide substantial assistance.

The original plan to take over the new Mexican president's political arrangement has run aground. No one is willing to accept this thunder that is about to explode, and only the Mexican people are unlucky.

"The terrifying Eastern Cavalry Legion of the Tang Kingdom has assembled in Rio Rancho, at least 1.6 in size. In addition, 1.5 new recruits and 4 retired soldiers will be recruited, making a total of 3.5 troops. A powerful force to counter. Now what the hell?"

"According to the latest news, the bloodthirsty devil Charlie has arrived at the Rio Rancho Fortress and may go south at any time."

"Since the beginning of January, the Tang Kingdom has recruited nearly 1 Indian convicts. They are rushing to repair the railway and road from Rio Rancho to Juárez day and night. The road is expected to be completed by early April at the latest. The whole line will be opened to traffic at the end of the year, cavalry from the Tang Kingdom have already appeared around Juárez, and the situation in the north is critical."

"The government has to make a decision, otherwise it will be over and the people will be ravaged by war again."

"Mr. President, Count Juan Carlos, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Kingdom officially rejected our request for peace negotiations, saying; the dignity of the Tang Kingdom cannot be insulted, and Mexico must pay the price in blood."

hear here
President Santoyo suddenly raised his head and said bravely; "Since we can't talk, then prepare to fight?"

Upon hearing his irresponsible words, several Mexican generals around were furious and shouted;

"What do you idiot president know? Is the war a fight? Soldiers, weapons, equipment, supplies, training, nothing. How much money can the government allocate for us to fight this war?"

"What a fart appropriation, the little money that the United States and the Tang Kingdom pay each year is not enough for one-tenth of the reconstruction expenditure of towns hit hard by the war. Families displaced during the war have resumed production, and the compensation for casualties and soldiers has not yet been settled. Finance There are only rats and no money in the Ministry's coffers."

When it comes to appropriation, officials from the Mexican Ministry of Finance jumped up and poured out their bitterness, spreading their hands and saying that there was no money.

"How can we fight without money? We can't change soldiers and supplies empty-handed. How can we compete with the powerful soldiers of the Tang Kingdom?"

"Then let's talk, anyway, we can't just sit around..."

As a result, the government fell into a turmoil again...

On February 2, the dragon raised its head.

The fortress of Rio Rancho, which is heavily guarded, is waving its flags, and a cavalry array spread out on the Gobi Desert, with shining armor and swords and guns, and a grand expedition ceremony is being held here.

"Sacrifice the flag with a knife."

After a loud cry, the executioner escorted dozens of elders of the Indian tribe, the priest knelt down on the ground, cut off with a sharp blade, and immediately the head fell to the ground.

Then came the second batch of escorts. These were the leaders of the Navajo, Apache, Pueblo, Utah, Jicarilla and other large Indian tribes. They traveled thousands of miles after the tribe was wiped out. Escorted so far, he became the ghost under the sword who sacrificed the flag.

The Tang Kingdom has always suppressed the indigenous Indian tribes who refused to accept the kingship. The Indian tribes who have lived in the eastern and northern parts of New Mexico for generations have suffered devastating blows in military operations.

The "Determination" suppression plan launched by the Army Staff Headquarters was launched simultaneously on August 1849, 8, on the 26-kilometer long front from southeastern Colorado to eastern New Mexico.

Before the war, it was planned to invest 1.85 troops, and the actual number of people participating in the battle exceeded 2. They carried out a comprehensive campaign against the indigenous Indian tribes entrenched in the area from five directions at the same time.

Limited by the lack of information and the traditional customs of not communicating with each other for generations, the five major indigenous Indian tribes in this area fell into a situation of fighting each other and suffered an overwhelming bloodbath.

On the more than 600-kilometer-long front, dozens of battles broke out almost simultaneously.

Often, the cavalry brigade of the Tang Kingdom with more than 100 people can attack the Indian tribes with thousands of people. In the dense gunshots like popping beans, the Indian warriors who dared to resist fell to the ground and died in pieces. Scenarios are everywhere.

After the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom were generally equipped with Colt 1848 lever-type repeating rifles, the firepower density was qualitatively increased, and the combat effectiveness was far stronger than during the war against the United States.

The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom now don't need heavy machine guns to set up traps at all when they go out to battle. Their own fierce firepower is enough to eliminate the enemy and become the king of the battlefield.

The continuous campaign of clearing and suppressing continued until mid-October. Many soldiers of the cavalry brigade had already penetrated into the territory of Texas, the furthest to nearly 10 kilometers. confrontation.

In view of the rampant cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, the US state of Texas urgently gathered 3700 cavalry, intending to eliminate several groups of oriental cavalry that invaded the US territory.

As a result, the two consecutive battles ended in the complete defeat of the American Cavalry.

post-war inventory;

The U.S. Texas Cavalry lost 1372 people, 68 were missing, and nearly a thousand were injured.

The Datang Kingdom did not suffer any damage, and the 478 cavalrymen belonging to the Datang Kingdom that participated in the two battles returned triumphantly. They also captured a small town on the border of the United States along the way, burned, killed and looted wantonly before returning.

The results of these two battles frightened the Americans, and the confidence that had just recovered was completely shattered. After the King of the Tang Dynasty, Richard, declared war on Mo, he quietly shrank his head.

Can't afford to provoke, that's really unprovoked.

The key to achieving such a brilliant success is the Colt 1848 repeating rifle commonly equipped by the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom. This rifle has been improved in many ways compared to the original historical Winchester lever rifle.

First, the Colt 1848 bursting rifle has a longer barrel and an increased range, which can cause fatal blows to enemy soldiers within a distance of 350 meters and cause greater damage to enemy soldiers within a range of 500 meters.

Second, together with the bullets in the chamber, a total of 13 rounds can be loaded, which is called "Thirteen Rings" by soldiers, and the firepower is enhanced.

Third, the new rifle has rifled and uses copper-cased full-charge bullets, which greatly improves the shooting accuracy and its power cannot be underestimated.

Fourth, improve the design of the locking structure, contributing to the excellent range of the new rifle.

It is precisely because of the above-mentioned advantages that when the American Texas cavalry with a large number of people launches a counterattack, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty can drive the mount to trot at a constant speed at 350 meters, and hold the bursting rifle to harvest the American cavalry round after round. Life is like hunting rabbits in the wild.

So

The U.S. cavalry collapsed before entering the 150-meter range, and turned into scattered soldiers who fled in all directions. They were chased and beaten by the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom.

The Yankee suffered a big loss, gritted his teeth and swallowed it with blood.

It took only a few days for these Texas rednecks to go from frantically clamoring to make the Eastern Cavalry look good, to being defeated in despair.

During the "Determination" campaign
More than 2 officers and soldiers who participated in the war wiped out more than 6.83 Indian bandits and captured 19.37 prisoners, including 7.92 Indian women of childbearing age. These are all sought-after sources in the population market.

This battle wiped out dozens of Indian tribes, and dealt a devastating blow to the five major tribes of the Navajo, Apache, Pueblo, Utah, and Jicarilla, and completely wiped out the border troubles in New Mexico. Bring at least 50 years of peace.

after the war
The Department of Correctional Services of the Ministry of the Interior added 11 Indian convicts. Most of them were escorted to work in railway construction sites, coal mines, iron mines, aluminum, zinc and other mines, and exchanged hard work for meager food rations.

The Morenzi Copper Mine is the largest receiving place, receiving more than 4.6 Indian hard labor convicts at one time, which can increase the annual output of the copper mine to 5 tons. At the current average annual output of 2.3 tons Double it again.

On the wide Gobi Desert outside the Rio Rancho Fortress

Hundreds of Indian tribal leaders were beheaded, blood soaked the long yellow sand, and the Gobi Desert wafted a strong smell of blood, which was the smell of war and death.

With the blowing of the long horn, King Richard issued an order to march, and the cavalry on the Gobi Desert drew out the shiny knives around their waists and waved them, shouting loudly;
"Long live the Tang Kingdom, long live the king."

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Hearing tens of thousands of cavalry shouting in unison, the sound shook the sky. Li Cha, who was sitting high on the horse, nodded in satisfaction and said, "The confidence of the whole army is high, and the morale is available. This king is very satisfied!"

"Your Majesty, I wish you the best of luck in this journey, and once again expand the territory for the kingdom, and establish a great cause that will never be seen in the world." Earl Gu Yan led a group of civil and military courtiers to see him off, clasped their fists together and saluted.

Among the seeing-off crowd, the four major demon generals under the throne of the demon king feared by Americans were all on the list, and none of them went out to fight.

In this battle, His Majesty the King appointed all up-and-coming rookies, the highest rank was a colonel, and there was not a single brigadier general.
