Wild North America 1846

Chapter 69 Who is stupider than whom?

this morning

The 4 carriages that drove out of the Grape Valley, under the protection of more than 50 guard cavalry, went through the Shanhaiguan Pass towards Fangcaodi.

After arriving at Fangcaodi, the group waited at the entrance of the town.

Not long
A group of people and horses drove out from Fangcaodi, about 80 white gunmen surrounded 6 carriages and merged with the team of Datang Club, heading towards the new town.

At the urging of John Sutter's side, the union was preparing for a final showdown in Newtown.

The current situation in North America is extremely deteriorating, and the war is just around the corner, and there is no room for further delay.

In Texas, the Houston rebels, with the continuous support of the Americans, defeated the Mexican army on multiple battlefields and achieved obvious victories.

The Mexican government has suffered disastrous military defeats one after another, and still insists that "although it has been deeply hurt by the United States, it is still willing to resolve disputes in a peaceful, reasonable and dignified way."

In fact

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Mexican army can no longer hold on in Texas, and almost lost all important towns in the area, and was defeated by the so-called rebels of the Republic of Texas.

This cannot be blamed for the incompetence of the Mexican government. What they are facing is actually a joint force of the US Federal Army and the rebels of the Republic of Texas. They are at a disadvantage in all aspects. How can they be undefeated?
Houston, the leader of the rebel army, was a student of US President Jackson in 1832. He instigated the "uprising" and "revolution" of local Americans in Texas, demanding "independence", and finally established the Lone Star Republic (Republic of Texas) ).

When the Mexican government sent troops to suppress it, the United States not only continued to provide military support, but also brazenly sent troops to directly intervene in the Texas war.

With this series of actions, we can clearly see that the American Mafia is operating behind the scenes.

The United States' expansion attempts in Texas have greatly stimulated its appetite, so it set its sights on New Mexico and California for the next expansion, and also focused on the British Oregon region.

US President Polk publicly declared during his consultation with Congress in early April that the British should return to Europe, and the American affairs should be decided by the Americans.We have a natural moral responsibility to govern the Oregon Territory, there is no doubt about it.

this speech
It is in line with the political correctness of the "Monroe Doctrine" vigorously promoted by the United States, and at the same time it contains great ambitions. It is impossible for London not to see it.

In the ensuing diplomatic note, U.S. President Polk made a naked territorial claim to the United Kingdom, and made a strong statement;
Will do whatever it takes to get the Oregon area...

Needless to say

For London, this is blatant coercion and absolutely intolerable.

As a result, the federation has come under increased pressure and London has demanded swift action.

It is reported that;

Adhering to London's will, a big man will arrive in the near future, which also reflects that London is quite dissatisfied with the slow-moving actions of the Federation, and directly made a big move.

And all of this put enormous pressure on Ronald Evanson.

A hilly area about 2 kilometers away from Fangcaodi

Behind the hilly area covered with weeds, 400 cavalrymen and 300 musketeers of the Tang Dynasty gathered here. They sat on the grass in units of squadrons. Some people were cleaning and maintaining their guns, while others They were eating biscuits with jerky in their hands, and some people were leaning on their backpacks and closing their eyes to doze off, but no one was whispering to each other, and they kept quiet all the time.

Wearing the uniform of a major of the British Dragoons, Li Cha was standing on a hill high, under the cover of a few sparse trees, and was observing the convoy heading for the new town with a binoculars.

John Sutter's actions can't be hidden from anyone at all, but why did the Federation keep in touch and spend more than two weeks trying to subdue John Sutter's forces?

This has to talk about the selfishness of Fangcaodi. After the battle on the American River, the reputation of the Datang Society has become more and more loud, and it has already overshadowed Fangcaodi. The scenery of time is infinite.

This situation was not what William Richardson wanted to see, and it also deviated from Ronald Evanson's vision, so he became unbalanced in his heart.

Special girl drops!
Originally hoped to use the Tang Dynasty as a thug to charge forward, eliminate dissidents and suppress competitors for the white ship owners of Fangcao and the British forces behind the scenes, so as to achieve the goal of dominating the province of Upper California, and finally establish an independent country and control the expansion of the US federal army .

Unexpectedly, the script was completely off.

After the elimination of the Alexander-Madison gang, the forces of the Datang Society expanded rapidly, occupying a dominant position in the federation, causing a serious imbalance of power.

If the power of John Sutter is further eliminated, it will grow even more rapidly and become unstoppable.

This is absolutely unacceptable for Fangcaodi.

In the eyes of the proud Fangcaodi, Datang Society is a dog in the hands of white people. If you want to bite anyone, you can bite whoever you want, instead of turning your back on the customer. Is that okay?

the best solution;

It is Fangcaodi, with its momentum of victory, forcefully forcing John Sutter to bow its head. After the two parties join forces, Fangcaodi, which represents the interests of white people, will inevitably increase in strength and once again gain the dominant position in the federation.

Ever since, there was a back-and-forth contact between the two sides, until half a month later, London could no longer hold back and expressed serious dissatisfaction...

The situation in North America has deteriorated rapidly, and there is no time to waste time.

Li Cha knew all of this well.

But he doesn't care, you can talk if you want. I just seized the time to consolidate the foundation of the Datang Society, and I can talk as long as I like. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry.

through this matter

Once again, it confirmed the thoughts in Li Cha's heart; that is, people who are not my race must have different hearts, and the close cooperation on the surface cannot cover up the huge differences and secret precautions inside, and the cooperation with Fangcaodi is just a different dream in the same bed.

If there is no common enemy, the boat of friendship will turn over as soon as it is said.

on the hills

Li Cha put down the brass monocular in his hand with a calm face, looked at the long line of convoys that were about to enter the new town, and suddenly separated a convoy, along the suburban road, heading northwest .

It was the meadow convoy, and it was planned that they would block the western and northern avenues with their wagons, forming a barricade in which to trap all the bandits in Newtown.

The four carriages belonging to the Tang Dynasty blocked the east street, leaving only the south street.

And the streets in the south are facing the area where Li Cha led a heavy army to ambush. As long as the white gunmen in the new town rush out and escape from here, the end will undoubtedly be disastrous.

At this moment

There was the sound of horseshoes galloping like thunder in the distance, and hundreds of cavalry appeared in the distance. This was all the strength accumulated by Fangcaodi, and there were more than 400 cavalry in total.

They will invest in it from two directions, step by step into the new town, dig out all the enemies hidden in the dark, and play the role of knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

The carriages of Datanghui and Fangcaodi have all been refitted, with thick iron plates on the front, and a few of them together can tightly block the street and form a strong barricade.

The musketeers hiding in the carriage fought with the carriage, step by step compressing the living space of John Sutter's armed force and dealing a heavy blow to it.

Today
No one is stupid, whether it is Captain William Richardson or the British adventurer Ronald Evanson;
The local snake John Sutter is used to the days when he dominates the king, even if he dies, he will never surrender to Fangcaodi, that is purely unrealistic delusion.

There is no way, the only option is to fight, so there is today's well-planned military operation.

In the battle plan, the armed forces from Fangcaodi will take the lead in attacking the new town, and in a head-to-head contest with John Sutter's armed forces, it is inevitable that they will suffer greater losses.

Thinking of this, a sarcasm smile appeared on the corner of Li Cha's mouth.

William Richardson and Ronald Evanson had a good plan. This time, they wanted Datang to take the lead and take the lead, but Richard flatly refused.

The reason is simple; the soldiers are not adequately trained, and the Tang will not be ready.

As for when it will be ready?
Hehe... It may take one or two months, or it may take three or four months, it depends on the specific situation.

These remarks immediately made the two people in Fangcaodi dumbfounded. Datang would quit the job, what the hell!
However, London is pressing hard above, and the special mission is already on the way. If the Federation has not acted and failed to show the necessary value, what will be lost is not only the trust and support of London, but also the bright future of the future.

The arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

As a result, Fangcaodi had to bite the bullet and do its best to undertake the important task of tackling the new town.

Invisibly, a huge rift has formed between the two parties of the federation, but the superficial intimacy is still maintained.

But Li Cha doesn't care, who is more stupid than the other?
Fuck friendships, f**k collaborations, Brits are full of scheming whores, and start scheming everywhere before they get there.

This kind of cooperation is really tiring, and you must always beware of backstabbing and betrayal. When these British guys betray you, they won't even say hello.

As long as you have strong strength in your hands, both the British and the Americans will try their best to win over. The British are not the only choice.

If it is not possible to establish an independent country, then Datang will invest in the United States, and it is not bad to become the power to rule California, anyway, it will not suffer.

Today, the Pacific Railroad has not been built, and American influence in the West is weak.In the wild west, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and if he takes refuge in the Yankees, Li Cha can at least become a powerful figure occupying one side, isn't it good?
Thinking

There were bursts of bean-popping gunshots from the direction of New Town. Obviously, John Sutter's side saw that the attempt had failed, so they immediately began to organize the white gunmen to resist, and fierce fighting broke out.
