In the next few days, Chu Tianjiang never left the manor, to be precise, he never left the manor in full view.

In the morning, Chu Tianjiang usually accompanies Clara, and sometimes he and Nicol accompany Clara to walk in the manor or bask on the roof, mainly Nicol and they like to sunbathe. In the afternoon, Chu Tianjiang took Nichol and the others to conduct combat-oriented training for the "Women's Army", sometimes adding half an hour of shooting training. After dinner, after taking a walk with Clara and sending her back to her room to rest, Chu Tianjiang began to train the "Women's Army" in basic knowledge, strength and physical fitness. The last thing is to take Connie and the other five people to quietly leave the manor and transform them. When Chu Tianjiang and they returned to the manor, Stewart and they also returned.

Such a "boring" life lasted seven days.

The most impatient were obviously Nichol and the others, especially Rachel. If it weren't for Chu Tianjiang's best efforts to appease, Rachel would have erupted long ago.

Chu Tianjiang didn't feel bored, but had a sense of accomplishment.

In the past seven days, Connie's strength has increased significantly, and each of them has grown a little taller, plump and round. Chu Tianjiang estimated that in another week, their strength would be comparable to that of normal men of the same age, that is, they would meet the minimum standard for flexible use of equipment. Coupled with the skills they have mastered in combat training, they will definitely have no problem dealing with freelance mercenaries who are not too strong.

On the morning of the ninth day of the caravan's arrival in Salt Lake City, the arms dealer delivered the goods as agreed.

Stewart bought not only the arms, but also the trucks used to transport the arms, thus saving him the trouble of buying trucks specifically.

In the afternoon, five trucks carrying oil drums that Stuart had bought also arrived at the estate, and the drums were all full.

Later, the grain merchant also brought the grain ordered by Stewart.

To Chu Tianjiang's surprise, Stewart did something that he didn't order, but it was very important, that is, he bought a lot of medicines, including antibiotics!

It took a full day to sort out the goods, so early in the morning of the tenth day, the caravan departed from Salt Lake City.

Stewart was willing to spend money and buy goods, which startled Chu Tianjiang.

On the list of goods, automatic weapons include 3,000 submachine guns, 12,000 carbines and assault rifles, 1,000 light machine guns, 600 general-purpose machine guns and 120 heavy machine guns, and non-automatic weapons are more than 500 bolt-action rifles, more than 2,500 shotguns, more than 5,000 shotguns and more than 4,700 pistols, in addition to some very strange weapons, such as fourteen flamethrowers!

It's just that there are not so many goods at all, not only are there shoddy ones, but some are not guns at all.

For example, in a pile of assault rifles, Chu Tianjiang found that half of them were fake guns, and there were even some toy guns carved out of wood. For another example, in a box containing a submachine gun, Chu Tianjiang found five toy water guns, as well as a toy gun that can emit light and sound when loaded with batteries.

The results after the inventory made Chu Tianjiang both surprised and disappointed.

In other words, there are about 8,000 long guns of various types that can be used, or can be disassembled into parts, and more than 6,000 can be made according to the proportion of 80 percent. Although this is much less than the number on the list, less than half, it is also very impressive.

These guns are enough to arm a massive legion!

Fortunately, Chu Tianjiang is not short of this money.

It's just that the journey from Salt Lake City to Denver isn't short, and it's not easy.

On the first night of leaving Denver, the caravan encountered the first group of robbers after leaving Las Vegas.

Although this group of robbers, who only had more than 20 people, could not get close to the caravan's camp at all, and a few hundred meters away, Maya, who happened to be on the night vigil, killed a small leader with a sniper rifle, and then fled, but Chu Tianjiang realized that the robbers must have amnesia.

Not long ago, the robbers who were entrenched on the road from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City still regarded Stewart's caravan as an object that could not be provoked, and gave way very interestingly, without bothering the caravan. It's only been ten days, and the robbers on the Salt Lake City to Denver road are active.

Of course, the robbers here may not have heard the rumors and rumors.

Chu Tianjiang was not worried about the robbers, he would set up a cordon near the caravan's camp and have Nicol and the others take turns keeping vigil.

What really needs to be worried is the legions from Salt Lake City or Denver, as well as the small secession forces nearby.

The number of robbers rarely exceeded a hundred, and generally only twenty to thirty men, and they posed little threat to the caravan. However, any regular army has several thousand men, and the size of a large army with a strong force is more than 5,000 men, and a small army with a strong force is often 2,000 to 3,000 people.

With so many enemies at war, it's inevitable that something unexpected will happen.

Besides, those freelance mercenaries can't be relied on. If the battle starts and there is a problem within the caravan, the consequences are even more unpredictable.

The next night, another robber came to the door.

This time, the robbers encountered Rachel, and as a result, Rachel used up the ten rounds in the sniper rifle magazine in one go, so that nearly half of the robbers did not escape alive.

By the third day, the caravan had left the range of the black group in Salt Lake City.

It was probably because Stewart paid a large amount of protection money, so the black group did not have the idea of fighting caravans, and did not run into major trouble.

It's just that after the caravan leaves the power of the black group, it's hard to say.

That night, Chu Tianjiang doubled the distance of the cordon, and personally kept vigil. Exactly as Chu Tianjiang expected, there were indeed some people with mysterious whereabouts near the caravan camp, and these guys were all acting alone, not yet close to the camp, obviously scouts of the legion.

The next day, Chu Tianjiang asked the three Andre brothers to go out to reconnoitre.

After receiving the reconnaissance report, Chu Tianjiang stopped the caravan at four o'clock in the afternoon, and then camped on a higher hill on the west bank of the Green River. Because the hill was off the road, it took a lot of effort to get more than 100 vehicles up there. It wasn't until it was completely dark that the camp was built.

Stewart also noticed the abnormality, but Chu Tianjiang ignored him.

While the maid was preparing dinner, Chu Tianjiang called the three Andrei brothers and Nichol to Clara's tent.

"The enemy has at least one legion, no less than five thousand in number, and it is quite possible that it is a legion sent by the Denver Jewish group."

"Are you sure?"

Andrei nodded and said: "The enemy cleared the traces of movement on the road, the camouflage was well done, but there are some things that cannot be concealed. For example, the tracked marks left by tanks and combat vehicles, and the damage caused to vegetation by large forces passing on both sides of the road. ”

"If there is a tank fighting vehicle, it is most likely a regiment of the Denver Jewish group." Clara said.

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "In the second half of the night, I personally went to confirm whether it was the legion of the Denver Jewish Group, but now there is a more important matter. ”

"What?"

"The enemy may not attack us, maybe just prevent us from reaching Denver."

"For what?" Clara immediately asked.

"Although the Green River is the boundary between the black and Jewish groups, it is closer to Salt Lake City and farther away from Denver. If the Jewish clique wanted to kill us, there was no reason to go on an expedition, and they could set up an ambush near Craig or Hayden in the east and annihilate us in one fell swoop. Chu Tianjiang pointed on the map. If we attack here, we will not be able to fly, at least no one but us will be able to escape. Instead, ambush us at the Green River, and if we don't form an encirclement, we'll have a chance to retreat to Salt Lake City. Obviously, the Denver Jewish group was not going to war with the black group for a caravan, and it was not a legion that would need to be used then. ”

"The question is, what is the Jewish bloc trying to keep us from getting to Denver?"

"Perhaps, we were acting too arrogant in Las Vegas. Of course, there is another possibility, and the last thing we want to see. ”

Clara was secretly shocked and said, "You mean, the Jewish community already knows why we are going to Denver for Lu?" ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "The real purpose of our going to Denver, apart from the people here, there is only one person who knows the Dao, and it is obviously impossible for him to betray us." I think the Jewish community only knows that we go to the Asian American group, and they plan to work with the Asian American group. ”

"This ......"

"With our performance in Las Vegas, it's clear that the Denver Jewish group won't underestimate us."

"And the arms that were bought in Salt Lake City."

As soon as Andre said this, Chu Tianjiang and Clara both looked at him.

"If we were just trading, we wouldn't have to buy so many arms, and everyone knows that most of the arms are shoddy, and we will definitely lose money if we buy them. Besides, arms are valuable cargo, and who would have believed that Stewart would ship so much arms back to Houston? Although the relationship between the Houston Chamber of Commerce and the local separatist forces has been on the same footing, the Houston Chamber of Commerce will certainly not blatantly expand its military strength until it finds a backer. Andre paused slightly, "Our arms spree in Salt Lake City only convinces the Denver Jewish clique that we can either form our own legion or assist the Houston Chamber of Commerce." If the Jewish community had known that we would work with the Asian American group, and then we could link the matter, the problem would have been serious. ”

"Will the Jewish bloc deal with the Asian bloc?"

Andre nodded and said, "Whether or not the Jewish clique overestimates our strength, they will do everything they can to prevent us from reaching Lakewood." ”

"I didn't expect Andre to think so deeply."

"Boss ......"

"That's what worries me the most." Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "Not only do we have to get to Denver as soon as possible, but we also have to get in touch with the Asian American group as soon as possible." So, we have to send someone to Lakewood, find Wild Rose, and tell her to watch out for the Jewish syndicate. ”
