Chapter 384: Some Undercurrents (7)
The convoy of trucks was on a road, and in 1890, Weeser really didn't want to say anything more. At least the troops did try to build roads in order to be able to transport troops more quickly. So at least half of the road has been paved with dirt stuff, so it won't be so bumpy that it's unbearable.
When the convoy arrived in San Francisco, everyone in the convoy was smiling. Weser also felt relieved, but he didn't look happy. In Weeser's original plane, there was a railroad on the west coast of the United States. When this railway was built, tens of thousands of Chinese laborers died. From hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands, there are all kinds of theories. Although the exact number is not known, there is no historical railroad on the West Coast of the United States, which shows the contribution of Chinese workers to the development of the West Coast of the United States.
Of course, the Republic of China also began to send railway engineers to begin field surveys, and used seized American railroad survey data. At least in the report of the North American theater of operations to Weeser, it was believed that by the end of 1891, a railroad from south to north could be built. Make it much easier to move troops on the West Coast.
Although Wei Ze should at least leave these things to the comrades who are in charge below, he still has various plans in his mind. Weeser has always been very confident in these grand plans, after all, in the 21st century, Weeser knows the scale of American infrastructure.
Later, Wei Ze himself felt that it was inappropriate for him to do this, and he had to give the comrades in charge of construction room for their own consideration. As for Wei Ze's opinion, I can wait until I listen to the report.
Because he couldn't change his mind for a while, Wei Ze switched his thoughts to praise himself. In the world he lives in now, no one knows how many Chinese Wei Ze has saved. From 1855, when Wei Ze moved south to occupy Guangdong, the manpower of the entire southeast coast was effectively used. With the recapture of Borneo by China, all migrants from overseas went to those areas in an orderly manner under the guidance of the government. China's rapid expansion in the South China Sea has led to places like Luzon and Indonesia under Weizer. Even Chinese who went to North America went to places like Canada. No one would travel all the way to the United States to work as a laborer.
This kind of lonely self-praise made Wei Ze feel a sense of melancholy for a while, and now the Chinese people from the top to the bottom to the common people are all receiving education and feeling very shocked after being exposed to the technology and equipment brought about by scientific and technological progress. But this kind of vibration is the kind of vibration of the creativity and understanding of one's own people, not the inexplicable vibration of foreign countries that ordinary Chinese people have no concept of.
In fact, before the Manchu Qing Dynasty was about to be destroyed, it was especially shouting about the great power. In the Manchu dynasty, ordinary people did not have the consciousness to build a modern state at all. However, Wei Ze passed through so many new Chinese settlements along the way, and when those Chinese people shouted "Long live the emperor", they did come from the heart, and when these people shouted "Long live the motherland" with Wei Ze, Wei Ze could see that everyone's pride and even sense of belonging were by no means vain.
The Chinese are accustomed to attributing the strength of their country to strong leaders, and Weeser does not think he has the power to change that idea, and in a sense it is not wrong. Weeser hopes that, even with a strong leader, the Chinese people will be able to establish an unbreakable belief that the interests of the country are higher than the leader's will.
His body swayed on the bumpy vehicle, and Weser's mind was thinking about the retreat. As the roads become smoother, vehicles get closer to San Francisco. Not long after, the vehicle stopped. Some personnel wearing field army uniforms appeared in front of Wei Ze, and the reception staff said something to Lieutenant General Zhou Jinguo, director of Wei Ze's office, and then Lieutenant General Zhou Jinguo, director of the office, relayed: "Governor, the comrades who came to greet you have arrived. Would you like to meet them? ”
"Yes, of course. People come all the way to greet us, what do we put on a score? Weser laughed.
Soon, a group of people who were bumpy and a little dazed got out of the car. It can be seen that many people feel very happy because they can get out of the car. Even if the ugly faces of those who were shaken got out of the car with a stinky face, they quickly showed relaxed expressions.
"Dudu, it's been a hard journey!" Lieutenant General Zhou Xinhua saluted Wei Ze.
Wei Ze returned the salute, and after shaking hands with Zhou Xinhua and the generals who came to greet him, Wei Ze said loudly to these people: "We people have now fully realized the hard work of your motorized infantry. We've only been hanging like this for a few days, and we're already feeling really uncomfortable. And we're going to take a boat when we go back. And comrades will still have to gallop on the vast land of North America in the next few years, and such bumps are just commonplace. I want to tell you that comrades have worked hard! ”
In a simple paragraph, the soldiers behind Wei Ze who were bumped and somewhat sluggish subconsciously stopped their waists. And Wei Ze was greatly moved by the soldiers who came to greet him. In fact, for these people, motorized infantry is also a new challenge for new arms. Senior soldiers also had to learn the mechanics of the infantry, the vehicles allowed the infantry to save a lot of physical strength, but the infantry had to endure the new tests that came with it. Hanging around in the car is just one of them.
Now the governor does not complain about his own experience, but tells the difficulties that everyone faces. The senior members of these motorized infantry units were indeed very moved.
"Governor, for the sake of the motherland, we are willing to accept such a test." Zhou Xinhua replied immediately.
The condolences of the condolences, the statements of the changed statements. Then the gang got into the car and moved on, and the officers who rode from north to south secretly asked the people who had come to greet them how far they were from their destination, San Francisco. The comrades who came to greet them told them that there were still 20 kilometers to go, less than an hour's drive, and the comrades who had traveled thousands of miles breathed a long sigh of relief. It only takes an hour for this torture to be almost over, which is great.
Zhou Xinhua got into Wei Ze's car, and after the command car converted into this truck started, Zhou Xinhua introduced the work to Wei Ze, "Governor, we are ready." It depends on the attitude of the Mexican side. Of course, we hope that they will come to San Francisco to meet the Governor. But if they don't, our troops can also secure a meeting on the border. ”
Weeser nodded, the reason why he wanted to go to distant California, the comfort troops were the most important purpose. And it was also important to meet with the current president of Mexico. The president has a lengthy name, called José 61 De 61 La 61 Cruz 61 Pofiglio 61 Díaz 61 Mori. The name sorted out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is Porfirio 61 Dias. This guy used to be close to the United States, but now the United States is no longer Mexico's land neighbor, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry has contacted this guy, and so far it has only confirmed that this guy has no intention of opposing China. However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked President Porfirio 61 Díaz to meet with His Majesty the Emperor of the Republic of China, and this Porfirio 61 Díaz did not explicitly agree.
Of course, according to the latest notice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Weese, this Porfirio 61 Dias has agreed to meet with Weese, but this guy has various ideas about the place of the meeting. Now even Weeser has lost some confidence in this meeting. A friendly meeting with the President of Mexico would be good for the future. But that doesn't mean Weeser thinks he has to meet with the president of a country with a population of several million. In what is now North America, Weeser could easily mobilize an army larger than the entire population of Mexico to attack the country.
So Wei Ze sneered, "This doesn't matter. When one of your lieutenant generals goes to see him, you give him face. If this guy doesn't toast now, after solving the American problem, we can give him a penalty drink. ”
"Haha. I understand, Governor. Zhou Xinhua smiled. After laughing, Zhou Xinhua began to introduce the war. The current command has a more shared view, and next year everyone hopes to divide the troops into two routes, all the way south along the Mississippi River, through the Great Plains to the Caribbean. The other route runs from west to east from California, also targeting the Caribbean. The two sides eventually met in New Orleans.
Hearing this plan, Weser couldn't help but laugh out loud. He shook his head, "That's a good idea, but I don't think it's realistic. The people of Texas in the United States are fierce, and according to the Americans, God is afraid of two guns. If you want to solve this place in the same way as you do the West Coast, I'm afraid you can't solve it. ”
Weeser knew the fierceness of the Texans, but the Reconquest Army didn't. Zhou Xinhua's brows furrowed slightly, and he carefully considered Wei Ze's statement before asking, "What does the governor mean?" ”
Wei Ze replied calmly: "My meaning is very simple, the only way to conquer Texas is probably to completely clean Texas. Our regular army was responsible for settling the Texas revolt, while the Japanese and Koreans thoroughly cleaned the area. ”
Zhou Xinhua looked at Wei Ze in amazement, he never thought that there was a place in this world where Governor Wei Ze had to make such a drastic decision. Although the governor said it lightly, it was only two words: "thoroughly cleaned" and "cleaned". Zhou Xinhua knew very well how the Japanese and Koreans cleaned the local area. When the Japanese cleaned the South China Sea Islands for China, Zhou Xinhua knew very well. And now in North America, the cruelty shown by the Koreans is not stingy.
So Zhou Xinhua asked: "Governor, you ......, didn't you listen to someone's words?" ”
"Xiao Zhou. After all these years, when did I not take care of the lives of our comrades as the first goal? Weser asked rhetorically. He didn't really want to say more, the future battle was by no means as simple as Weese said now. Those mad dog-like Texans are really going to do their best.
"Then why did the Governor make such a judgment?" Zhou Xinhua asked. He wondered what had caused Governor Visé to make such a cruel decision.
"Because Texas joined the United States as a republic, not as a colony, as other regions did. Therefore, Texans are really defending their homeland and country. Weeser gave an answer.
