A Dream of Jinling Chapter 284 Cattle Knife (Eighteen)

Next chapter

The door of the warehouse of the railway station was open, and several strong men stood at the door with torches. In the flickering firelight, the open door of the cave seemed to be the mouth of a monster.

The governor of Minnesota, the mayor of St. Paul, and several other Israeli officials stood behind the heads of the National Guard. Opposite them stood the highest member of the Federal Army, a lieutenant colonel, in what is now the city of São Paulo. Behind the lieutenant colonel stood the adjutant, the logistics staff, and a group of infantrymen.

Behind the mayor of São Paulo stood engineer Montes and his son Benier. Engineer Mendes was frightened at this time, and he could see that the news of the sudden capture of the state parliament hall by the Chinese also frightened the two groups in front of him. The group continued to stand in the same position they had stood not long ago, and although they were shocked by the latest news, there were still many enemies in the eyes of the two groups looking at each other.

Determined, Engineer Monters could already determine that the Chinese should have conquered the defensive positions held by the Union Army, the National Guard, and volunteer combatants. It was an important position to hold the railway, and there were hundreds of armed forces on both sides guarding that position. After the squadron broke through the position, the only ones that could stop them from entering the railway station were the trains on the railroad that stopped on the tracks of the railway station marshalling station.

"Whoo......" Engineer Montes let out a long chirp in his stomach. On a normal day, this sound would probably cause a burst of laughter. But at this time, no one paid attention to this matter, and the mayor opened his lips and spoke, "Our home may be occupied by the Chinese now, do you send troops to take it back?" ”

This answer surprised the engineer Montes, when did the mayor actually think of his family property. The hunger was temporarily expelled by irritation, and the engineer Montes thought indignantly: If it weren't for Lao Tzu, you would only be afraid that you would have been captured by the Chinese now!

More than two hours earlier, Engineer Montes had gone to the mayor's office with his son and begged the mayor to allocate some food for the volunteers to fight. When the frightened mayor heard the news, he immediately asked, "Monsieur Montes, how many men do you have?" ”

"About ......," said Engineer Montes, who had forty or fifty men, but on second thought, he mustered up the courage to give a new number, "more than three hundred." After saying that, he added, "Please provide these volunteers with food for at least two days." ”

When the mayor heard that there were more than 300 people under the command of Engineer Mendes, he felt as if he was about to catch a life-saving straw for a drowning man. He stood up and said, "I'll go to the station warehouse now and get you some food." ”

When I walked to the station, the mayor babbled on and on the latest situation. Paul, the owner of the train company? Smith had written to the mayor informing him that the depot at the train station had been handed over to the Federal Army and the National Guard. The State National Guard is a force commanded by the governor, and the National Guard of the city of São Paulo has always been under the management of the State National Guard, which at this time has also been organized.

Now the mayor had nothing in his hands, so he tried his best to persuade Engineer Montes to bring the 300-strong troops to the city center. In this way, the mayor can command the local military force of the city of São Paulo and participate in the city's own security.

Graduated from military academy and also served as a soldier for a few months. Engineer Montes immediately saw through the mayor's thoughts. By placing these "more than 300 people" under the command of the mayor, the mayor will have a certain say in the current situation. The Federal Army stationed less than a regiment in the city of São Paulo, whose main task was to maintain military armaments. The strength of a regiment in the United States is actually the size of a thousand men. Since he is responsible for such a task, there are not too many troops. The total number is more than 800 people. The state's National Guard claims to be an all-people soldier, but in fact there are fewer than a thousand troops that can be assembled at the moment. There are nearly one-fifth of the 1,67 volunteers in the 300, and the mayor who leads the way can have a considerable say.

When Engineer Monters followed the mayor to the railway station warehouse, he saw that the National Guard and the Federal Army had actually taken advantage of the terrain of the warehouse to occupy one side, and everyone was holding weapons with the intention of firing and fighting. After all, he had been on the battlefield, and at a casual glance, Engineer Montes found that there were two or three hundred people on each side, adding up to more than five hundred. Together with a third of the armed forces of the city of São Paulo, the confrontation was played meaninglessly.

The mayor didn't know what was going on, and he didn't dare to go over. Fortunately, the governor arrived shortly after with a few officials. It was only when the two sides converged that they made things clear. According to the lieutenant colonel of the federal army, the National Guard began moving supplies from the warehouses in the morning after they took over. If only those warehouses that have nothing to do with the military are moved, the federal army will turn a blind eye. Unexpectedly, these people actually carried the contents of the military warehouse in the name of replenishing weapons, ammunition and logistics materials. At this time, the lieutenant colonel could not sit idly by, so the two sides confronted each other like this. If it weren't for the Chinese on the outskirts of the city attacking, probably the two sides would have fought a long time ago.

The Federal Army is under the control of the Federal Ministry of War, and the governor is a local governor who can only control the power of the state. In any case, they are not qualified to point fingers at the federal army. The governor was on the side of the National Guard at this time and was pointing fingers at the Union Army, and the lieutenant colonel in military uniform was even more reluctant to give in to such a pot-bellied guy in a suit and white shirt. The two sides laid down their arms only temporarily, and the quarrel did not stop.

It was not until the news that the squadron captured the state parliament hall that the two sides seemed to wake up from a dream and think that the biggest enemy at the moment was the Chinese and not their own. Engineer Montes felt extremely sad in his heart, who is this TM?

"......Gollum" was another long sound, this time not Engineer Montes but his son Benier. The boy had breakfast at home with his father, Montes, and in the afternoon a potato that was not too ripe. Benniel, who was still a long-bodied teenager, remembered not his mother's cooking, but the two slices of bread with cream in the middle that Miss Miranda had stuffed into him when she let him go, and the sweet smell still lingered on the tip of his tongue.

Maybe the young man was in good health, and the bowel sound was more powerful, and the governor who heard the sound frowned. He said angrily, "Give this boy a piece of bread." ”

No one thought that the governor would give such a humane order, and there were already a lot of supplies in the warehouse. Bread was one of them, and the National Guard themselves were hungry, and many of them had bread in their hands, and soon a piece was given to Bennier. Benniel took a bite, remembered something, and divided half of the not-so-small loaf of bread to Daddy. Engineer Montes was very moved in his heart, and he was naturally moved by the governor's humane treatment. Most of the moving thing is the filial piety of his son.

The governor turned his face away and did not look at the scene of the father's kindness and filial piety, and he was very unhappy in his heart. More than twenty years ago, when he was also part of the westward march, he had captured a nearby Indian tribe. This tribe is very cunning and is often able to evade attacks and expulsions from the Americans. The governor, who was still a young man at the time, took part in the fight to exterminate the tribe. Later, I learned from another Indian tribe that had a grudge against this tribe that the cunning tribe had a witch who was able to use witchcraft to make all kinds of predictions.

After several years of pursuit, and after the other tribes had been wiped out, the governor's troops finally stopped the cunning Indians. The governor was smug and wanted to meet the cunning witch to boast of his strength. He thought that the witch was an energetic witch, but he didn't expect that the old woman he saw was already an old woman who was dying of breath.

The young governor laughed at the old witch for being useless, and the old witch only sneered, and said in a strange English that seemed to be half moaning and half gasping: "Young man, I have no strength to do another divination, and I see the light of the moon shrouded in you. Do you want me to give you a divination? ”

The young and vigorous governor asked the old witch to do a divination, and the result of the divination was probably "The young man who is valued by the moon artifact will become the master of this land." But when the red moon shines on the earth, the moon god will take off his tunic and pierce his body with an arrow. ”

Hearing this curse, the young governor immediately lost his appetite, and he gave the order, "All hanged." ”

The old witch was the last to be hung high, and when her body, with her hands tied behind her back, stopped struggling, a pile of filth slanted out with a loud bowel sound. From then on, the governor felt uncomfortable whenever he heard the sound of bowels.

Having dealt with the unpleasant young man's affairs first, the governor said to the lieutenant colonel of the Federal Army with an unconsciously disgusted expression: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, we must now hurry back to the state council hall. ”

"No, sir. We must now guard the train station. Perhaps seeing the disgusted expression, the lieutenant colonel's tone was also very impolite, and he didn't look at the governor's face, but just stared at the governor's white shirt collar and said: "We have contacted the troops on the front line, and they said that the front line was not broken through by the Chinese at all, and these Chinese suddenly called." In this case, federal forces will soon be able to launch an offensive against this Chinese force. Now there are a lot of supplies in the warehouse at the railway station, and we can hold on until reinforcements arrive. ”

"Are you asking us to abandon the city?" The governor was bewildered by such a build. The state hall is actually just an ordinary hall, but the meaning is different there. What's more, there are banks and shops in the vicinity, and many of them are financial patrons of the governor, and if it is destroyed, the governor is afraid that there will be a big backlash after the war. If you can recapture it at the moment, even if it is a certain amount of battle, it will finally give the gold owners a reasonable explanation.

"Sir, our weapons, ammunition and supplies are here. There are only 2,000 of us, and if we lose this place, we won't be able to hold out for three or four days. The lieutenant colonel said unceremoniously to the governor.

"What? Three or four days? "State National Guard Tom? McQuay was taken aback, and he ignored his so-called courage and asked in a shrill voice, "You Federation troops grew up eating?" It took four or five days to get help. ”

The lieutenant colonel graduated from a military academy anyway, and at least there is no lack of knowledge of marching. It is about a hundred kilometers from the front line here, and the army will assemble tomorrow and get on the train. It's going to take a day. A day of marching. The Chinese will definitely find a way to sabotage the railway, get off the train and form a team, and move forward. It takes about three days to engage the Chinese, and it takes at least half a day to a day to defeat the Chinese, and three or four days is already a very conservative algorithm.

Just as he was about to sneer at each other, he heard a gunshot. Everyone was stunned, but they heard the mayor exclaim. Turning his head, he saw the governor holding his abdomen and swaying. Just as the mayor was holding the governor, the governor's muscular body finally collapsed.

Shi Qian, who was in the distance, watched through the telescope as the Yankees' ranks began to get into chaos, and he coldly ordered: "Snipers continue to fight." Mortars were slamming at the Yankees. ”

Shi Qian's troops, who had occupied the governor's mansion, were originally going to occupy it on the spot and then take a little rest. The battalion commander inspected the supplies transported by the Yankees, and thought that it was the Yankees' material warehouse, so he ordered Shi Qian's troops to pursue them in the direction from which the American transporters came.

After Captain Shi Qian chased down, he found a group of Yankees holding torches discussing something. There are hundreds of enemies, plus there are sentinels. Captain Shi Qian had no way to get over, so he could only rely on snipers and artillery to hit the enemy hard.

Bullets whistled and shells exploded. That doesn't mean much to the fallen governor anymore. After the bullet hit him in the abdomen, with a burning sensation, the governor only felt that all his strength was drained. He didn't know exactly what was going on around him, and he didn't really care.

The people around shouted and neighed, whether it was the US Federal Army or the US National Guard, it was a mess. Blood was gurgling from the wound, and the governor could still feel the speed of the blood flowing out of the wound by holding it down with his hand.

After all, when I was young, I had killed so many Indians and seen too many deaths. The governor probably knew he couldn't do it. The only one by his side was the mayor, who had been supporting him. The governor turned his face slightly, and saw a huge full moon rising over the horizon. It wasn't an ordinary full moon, but a crimson full moon.

The matter of the shrine maiden came to mind clearly at this time. When he became the governor, he probably became the owner of this land. The governor actually knew that he would often think about this prophecy, but he didn't dare to think about it.

At this time, the surrounding Americans were running around, and there was already some silence. This quietness made the governor feel that the wounds in his body were constantly leaking his vitality.

"Shoot or kill! Surrender or kill! Raise the white flag and don't kill! In the distance, there was a strange voice in English, and to the governor, who was full of memories, the voice somehow resembled the strange tone of the old witch.

However, he only felt weak at this time, "Ahem! The jacket is still there, and it's not a sharp arrow...... Ahem! Old witch, your prophecy has come to fruition! The governor muttered a smile that he had consciously overcome his fate and decided to die bravely.

However, a tugging caused the governor to temporarily regain some attention, and he saw that the mayor was taking off his shirt. After taking off the governor's shirt, the mayor began to take off the governor's white shirt again.

"When has this been, is he still thinking about it?" Frivolous thoughts flashed through the governor's mind.

In the West, there are some people who are more eccentric. But if they are found, they will either be hanged or burned. The mayor was criticized by the wind for having that fetish. But the governor is also a person who has seen the market, and as long as the mayor is fooling around in his bedroom, the governor is not willing to care so much. Not to mention that grasping some scandals actually helps to strengthen the governor's position.

It seems that the mayor also took a lot of effort, and the white shirt is made of Chinese silk and is very strong. The governor listened to the mayor's heavy breathing getting closer and closer to him, probably because he leaned down to the governor. With the violent twitching, the governor felt his body being turned over, and the white shirt was pulled back roughly, pulling the governor's wing-like backward arm with some pain. With half of his face on the ground, the governor saw the mayor waving his blood-stained white shirt and shouting, "Sir, don't shoot!" Sir! Don't shoot! ”

At the time of the mayor's waving, the white shirt flew high. Above the white shirt, a blood-red moon looked down on the earth like a pupil.

In the governor's shrinking field of vision, there was a white shirt and a red moon, and the governor wanted to shout, but the vision quickly darkened. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
