Taking advantage of this war, which may not be called a war, it is enough to celebrate that the newly established Hunters, especially this fighting force composed of people from three different eras, successfully completed the battle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Major General Liu Fangwu can also be regarded as the first military achievement of the colonial point, and for him personally, it is also a new military achievement after the victory of Ringanqiang in Burma during the Anti-Japanese War.

The victory, glory and recognition of a battle also make the people involved in this war full of more sense of belonging and identity. For the ordinary traversers, the collapse of the hostile Indian forces around them also made them feel safer.

The prospecting team returned to the coalfield, this time successfully found the bituminous coal mining site, and a mine was established, and the workers used the railroad tracks brought from modern times from Los Angeles to the mine, and the small plate truck brought the carload of coal back to Los Angeles, which was also the official opening of the road to the steel industry in Los Angeles.

In the government office cafeteria in Los Angeles, Bai Nan held a plate, and sat across from him Sumuri, an Indian who could barely be seen except for a pigtail. Bai Nan admired this young man, not because he was brave enough or very smart, but because he had an amazing adaptability that other Indians did not have.

At this moment, Su Muli was wearing an American military uniform of the national army, a pair of green khaki military uniform trousers, but a pair of labor protection shoes on his feet, his shirt was wearing a national army officer shirt, and the cafeteria was not cold indoors, so Su Muli put his coat on the seat next to him.

On the plate in front of him are two dishes, one pine nut corn and one stir-fried cabbage. In the Americas, it can be said that corn is the world, and even California can find a certain amount of corn, many of which are wild and unmodified. In addition, acorns, nuts and other things can be collected in the forest. As for cabbage, it is a vegetable that has been brought in by the fleet.

Even though he was extremely clumsy, Su Muri insisted on trying to eat with chopsticks, and he followed Bai Nan's example, picking up a mouthful of cabbage with chopsticks with difficulty, and when he was about to put it in his mouth, he fell it again. Anyway, you can eat corn with a spoon, and the sweet pine nut corn makes him squint and enjoy the rare food. Even in the cafeteria of the government offices in the colony, it is not possible to eat serious food every meal. Most of them are salted fish, pickles, and the like.

Bai Nan could see that this was a young man who was eager to integrate into the culture of the colonial point, and for Su Muri, he saw an advanced and vivid world, and it was impossible for him to be a primitive person again. And this gave Bai Nan a lot of convenience, and Sumuri would be a very good breakthrough point for him, a breakthrough point for naturalizing the entire California Indians.

"Sumuri, the war is over, do you have any plans?" Bai Nan asked him as if he was inadvertent.

Su Muli was silent for a while, and then said, "Bai, cavalry, can you stay?" "His Chinese has improved by leaps and bounds, and now he can slowly speak in relatively simple sentences. Even this guy was able to write a few Chinese characters, thanks to the little nurse Dong Juanhua.

Bai Nan was not particularly surprised, and said, "Do you want to continue to serve the colony as a warrior?" However, even if you wish, the people of the other tribes may return to their own tribes after completing their mission. ”

Su Muri shook his head and said, "It's not everyone, leave." Yes, like me, want to stay and become cavalrymen. ”

Bai Nan asked: "How many of these people you said want to stay?" ”

"Mostly, seventy or eighty, maybe a hundred." Apparently arithmetic is not Sumuri's forte.

Bai Nan didn't expect that there would be so many Indian riders who wanted to continue this mercenary job, maybe it was the arrogant equipment that attracted them, maybe the food in the colony attracted them, or the output of the booty, in short, returning to the tribe may still be a bitter man who desperately supports himself and the rest of the tribe, but staying in Los Angeles, he can live a better life, and at the same time, he can play to his strengths and get more of everything.

"But the war is over, we have wiped out the ill-intentioned Tunwa, and the colony does not need to continue to maintain this mercenary cavalry." Bai Nan said this deliberately.

Su Muri was still very resolute, he took out a map from his pants pocket, which was very attentive, he took the more accurate map of California in Bai Nan's hand and drew it himself, and there were even some Chinese characters on the map, written crookedly, Su Muli didn't know what these words meant, but he still copied it. The map is not accurate, but for an Indian, he can understand what his area is like.

Pointing to a narrow area between two large mountain ranges on the map, Sumuri said, "Here, Yokuz, White, you want here, farming, getting food." We, the cavalry, help you, defeat, Yokuz, land, yours. ”

Bai Nan didn't expect this guy to pay attention directly to the Yokuz people again, and Su Muri's vision was very accurate, Bai Nan and the others were indeed very interested in the Central Valley occupied by the Yokuz people. The entire west coast of North America, the most elite land is the Central Valley, which can be called the vegetable basket of North America, the climate is suitable, the soil is fertile, the river network is dense, this is the natural agricultural base, in the future, rich in grapes and other fruits, is a wine region, grain production in the United States is very important, or the United States in addition to the Gulf of Mexico the second most important oil production area. To put it in a more Chinese way, this is simply the land of abundance.

Bai Nan frowned and said, "We have made preliminary agreements with several Yokuz tribes to buy their land, and the Yokuz people are not as hostile to us as the Tongwa people, and it doesn't seem good for us to attack them rashly. ”

It was difficult for Su Muri to understand what Bai Nan meant, and he quickly said: "In the forest, the wolf is strong, the rabbit is weak, the wolf eats the rabbit, Los Angeles is strong, the Yokuz is weak, and Los Angeles eats the Yokuz." ”

What he wants to express is nothing more than a law of the jungle, which is also his basic value as an Indian, and in fact the value of many people in the colony, but some people like to package it under something seemingly gorgeous.

Bai Nam would not discuss such an issue with Su Muri, who could not even speak clearly, he said: "I will report this matter to the final committee, and the leaders will decide." However, during this time, mercenary cavalrymen who want to stay in Los Angeles can continue to stay here. ”

In fact, Bai Nan will not give up this wave of power under Su Muri, and how to deal with the Indian forces around the colony is actually not an easy matter. A quicker approach would be nothing more than the use of military force to destroy all the Indian tribes, but this could have many negative elements. A little slower is nothing more than a cannibalization tactic, using a combination of punches, on the one hand, to destroy the unstable factors, and on the other hand, to naturalize most of the Indians.

California is so large that even in the Los Angeles area, the colony cannot be fully occupied by 130,000 people. The entire central valley of nearly 50,000 square kilometers is only about three or four percent of the development at most by relying on the power of the colony, so Bai Nan feels that there is no need to massacre the Yokuz people for a piece of land that cannot be fully used for the time being. He believed that over time, the Yokuz would be able to be used by him.

Just as Bai Nan was thinking about these questions, suddenly there was a commotion in the cafeteria, Bai Nan followed the prestige and saw some people gathered there, and the person in the center of the crowd seemed to be Zhao Daling, the chairman of the decisive committee. Standing opposite Zhao Daling is a woman, Bai Nan seems to have met a few times, named Ji Ru, about thirty years old, not very beautiful, but gives people a tenacious atmosphere, she is very thin, but it makes people feel very powerful.

“…… Chairman Zhao, none of us has any objection to the punitive action against the Tongwa people, but you have directly exterminated a nation. Three thousand Tunwa women, gathered together by you, you know what I heard some people talking about today? They were not ashamed to discuss whether you would assign them a girl because they worked hard. Perhaps, it's better to reuse? Open a red-light district in Los Angeles and let all the smelly men in need take care of their physiological needs? Have we fallen to this point?! Ji Ru is a volunteer on the Changmao Wheel, and it is said that he has been engaged in literary and artistic work and social activities before.

Zhao Daling was also very uncomfortable when he heard this, although they hadn't thought about such a ridiculous thing as opening a large brothel, but there were indeed people discussing the distribution of spouses according to work. And the reason for bringing in so many Indian women is to balance the ratio of men and women in the colonies.

However, this kind of action is indeed different from what everyone usually accepts, and it seriously violates the values and cheap morality of many people. Obviously, Ji Ru can't accept that she has always been a kind of social activist living in China, and people like him may go to protest against the PX project in an unfamiliar area, regardless of the huge import volume of PX in China and the current situation of being controlled by others; You might go back to Yulin to protest the Dog Meat Festival, without considering the mood of many local people who value tradition.

In short, anything that is governmental and contrary to their values is evil, and they have to stand up and fight.

Some of the officers and officials of the Republic of China in the cafeteria waited for Zhao Daling's order to go up and take this crazy woman away and throw him into prison. But Zhao Daling is a modern person after all, and he won't do anything that is too authoritarian, and he won't do it himself, facing Ji Ru's questioning, Zhao Daling is still not catchy, just standing there and listening.

And seeing Zhao Daling's performance, Ji Ru, who originally had a bit of a complex of sacrificing his life for righteousness, seemed to be even more energetic, "Has the crossing already made you people lost?" How can people who slaughter, rape, rob, and not even have basic morality lead everyone? You have taken away everyone's human and political rights by relying on the military power in your hands, and you dictators and executioners will lead to our demise! ”
