The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 244 243. Montana United Resistance Army
"This is what my grandfather's grandfather left behind. He used it against the Indians back then." Frederick said, stroking the barrel.

Lin Feng and Jia Simin looked at each other in confusion, and even moved out the old antiques. If the Indian chief Geronimo were here, he would probably feel emotional again.

"We have prepared gunpowder and cannonballs and are ready to fire at any time." One of Frederick's men was confident.

What this guy said was true. Lin Feng thought to himself that this thing was the old man's joy among artillery. Could it be possible that it could penetrate a tank?

But he still had to show gratitude on his face, and he nodded calmly, "That's great. This way our defense can be more stable."

After saying that, he looked at each other and smiled.

Lin Feng glanced back quickly and saw that the thing the farmer was holding seemed to be going to a retro firearms expo.

Frédéric lit a cigarette, "They built a Garden of Eden in the north, and the next step will be to build a Noah's Ark in our south. So, Hans Grando, this is where we come to support cattle herding." The reason for the baby.”

"No matter what, Cowboy appreciates you."

In the following time, the people from the South District and the people from the North District set up a defensive line together.

"The right choice may create miracles. Are you a rider?"

As he spoke, he took out a small notebook from another pocket and handed it to Lin Feng.

The sky gradually became brighter, and fire clouds appeared in the distant sky, which was bright red and reflected on everyone's face.

The young man smiled. Lin Feng saw a photo in his denim jacket pocket and asked who it was.

I picked it up and saw it was the Declaration of Independence.

The governor of the United States sent troops to attack the Cowboys, and even people who no longer pay attention to international developments heard about it.

They came with more than 300 people. Although their equipment was still mainly firearms, there was strength in numbers. If Greg plans to command the army to attack by force, he really needs to think carefully.

Lin Feng pointed to Jia Simin not far away.

"Hey buddy, I saw your game on TV, last year, at the Karen Contest!"

Although there had been a lot of friction between the north and the south in the past, when faced with a common enemy, the people from the south still stood firmly on the side of the people from the north, even at the most critical moment.

Moreover, Lin Feng's Chinese identity is also one of the hot topics, causing an uproar on the Internet.

"Your dad?"

This indicates that there will be rain soon.

The young man explained that this was given to them by Frandrick, and that everyone had it.

Looking at these new guys, Lin Feng felt his heart surge.

A young man from the South District took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lin Feng.

"No, the rider is my girlfriend."

"Flame Joey, right? That horse is really great. It runs like a ball of flame. How is it doing now?"

"Not bad, Joey is preparing to participate in a G2 game."

It is estimated that the National Guard will arrive soon. After a night of continuous fermentation, the entire world's attention is here.

The young man laughed and said, "This is Thomas Jefferson."

“The greatest threat to the freedom of the American people is a government that tramples on the Constitution.”

The young man continued: "This is the famous saying of President Thomas Jefferson, and it is in accordance with this saying that we came to your territory to fight side by side with the cowboys."

Lin Feng became interested in him and asked for his name.

"Ian McHarg, I work at Sun Farm. Welcome to our southern district to guide our work."

Lin Feng shook hands with him, "I remember you, Ian McHarg, you are a nice guy." "You too, I like to make friends, maybe we can only meet once in this life, but if we meet again in the future If you meet one, you can sit down and have a drink. I like western cowboys, because they are always the protagonists in western movies, and farmers are often the targets of massacres by the villains.”

Ian is an optimist, and you can hear it from his words.

The two chatted for a long time until there was a rumble outside.

It is an infantry vehicle of the National Guard.

They stopped where the state troopers had been stationed, as if waiting for orders.

A man who looked like an officer and several soldiers were coming to negotiate. They would talk before starting, that is, to persuade them to surrender. If they couldn't reach an agreement, they would go to war.

Reporters swarmed in, including from abroad. They also set up camps outside and were very busy.

The number of people doubled overnight, and Governor Gregg is probably also having a headache.

If a war really breaks out, it will definitely cause an uproar in public opinion.

The farmers came prepared and placed a long line of promotional slogans on the "truck wall."

"I ask, your lord, what is a militia? A militia is all the people!"

This is one of the most striking.

The slogans quoted from propaganda posters during the American Revolutionary War will be familiar to the American people.

The National Guard does belong to a militia organization to some extent. Members use 48 weekends a year to participate in barracks training, and there is also a 15-day active duty training session every year. The rest of the time they live and work in peace and contentment, and most of them have their own jobs.

Of course, there are also a small number that were downgraded from the Army. For example, Major General William Dean, the highest-ranking American prisoner of war on the Korean battlefield, had his 24th Division downgraded into the National Guard.

Frederick asked someone to bring out his cannon. This "Old Man Music" device reminded Lin Feng of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean.

Just an hour ago, Frandrick greatly appreciated Lin Feng's online public opinion tactics after listening to them, and he proposed improvement measures.

That is to set up a rostrum on the high ground next to the "Truck City Wall" and accept interviews from the media there. It looks very provocative in conjunction with the surrounding propaganda slogans.

Frederick knew the power of public opinion, and the bigger the issue, the better.

Deploying the National Guard is a big expense. Let’s see if Governor Gregg can bear the responsibility of mobilizing the army, suppressing the people, and provoking a civil war.

Now sitting on the rostrum are Hans and Frandrik, who want to continue to expose the governor's abuse of power, corruption and other stains in the performance of his duties to the media.

As time continued to pass, the pressure from public opinion prevented the National Guard from taking any rash action.

In the morning, Helena citizens marched to demand Governor Gregg to withdraw the Guard and resign immediately!

The sentiment quickly spread to other Montana cities and throughout the United States.

Demonstrators supporting Riverdale Town also appeared on the streets of Los Angeles, and people took to the streets to defend their rights.

At the same time, politicians as far away as Washington began to pay attention to the incident.

Inside the Capitol, an emergency meeting was taking place.

Politicians looked solemn, knowing full well that this seemingly local conflict could actually turn into a national crisis.

“We cannot allow this situation to continue,” a senior senator said, banging on the table. “The National Guard has been deployed to suppress peaceful people. This is a violation of our country’s constitution!”

"That's right!" another congressman echoed, "We must take immediate action to stop Greg's atrocities."

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and the politicians expressed their opinions, but they reached a consensus on one thing: an investigation team must be sent to River Valley Town as soon as possible to understand the truth and mediate the conflict.

In Riverdale, the situation remains tense.

The National Guard remains stationary, but their very presence is a threat.
