Chapter 38 Blowing Up the Grand Coulee Dam

The construction site of the Grand Coulee hydropower station, the American engineers and the security personnel of the Duquesne Group were all destroyed, which was the result of a surprise attack by the Guardians and more than 3,000 Indian militia. It's just that the casualties of this attack were somewhat tragic, and more than 800 Indian militia were killed, and this happened when the Guardians had already taken the main gathering place of the engineers. Indian militias shouted slogans and charged with various weapons. They were indeed not afraid of death, but this extremely inappropriate way of fighting caught Su Yu by surprise. If it weren't for Su Yu's timely use of the Guardian to take off the firepower point, the more than 3,000 militia would have lost at least half. This was a huge mistake made by Su Yu who was unfamiliar with the situation. If he had also assigned the Guardians to the companies according to the regular army, instead of forming an assault force, the sacrifice might have been much smaller.

Su Yu did not suffer such heavy casualties in some domestic wars, whether it was the Shandong battlefield or the Korean battlefield.

Looking at the rows and rows of corpses, Su Yu fell into deep self-blame.

But that didn't stop him from completing his plans.

The construction of the Daguli hydropower station began in 1934, and by now, most of the concrete of the dam has been poured.

The Guardians had entered the power plant inside the dam to clear the remnants, and more than 2,000 militiamen and more than 3,000 Indians from small tribes who had rushed over to hear the news were sending explosives into the dam.

The upstream and downstream cofferdams and the left and right bank cofferdams were loaded with explosives.

Dam engineer Chalmers sweats profusely, and he tries to stop Su Yu from blowing up the dam despite the danger of being killed.

"It's a project for the benefit of humanity, the largest dam in the world. In the future, it will be able to provide electricity to the entire state of Washington and even Idaho. You can take this place, but don't spoil this great project. ”

Su Yu silently watched as several Indians performed ritual rituals for the dead engineers and Indian militia to conjure spirits.

"Don't talk about whether war is needed or not. The dam has staged migratory fish routes, affected shipping and fisheries, changed the natural ecology of the area and is sure to bring more serious ecological disasters downstream. Even if there was no war, I would still choose to blow up this dam. Su Yu replied in Soviet English.

"Your view is wrong, you are not like an Indian, but more like a Chinese, but why do something that goes against progress. With electricity, it will bring wealth to the people of this. There will be more irrigated farmland, and as for the problem you mentioned, we can find a way to solve it. ”

Su Yu sighed: "It's too late. The Air Force and Army are coming. My people must be evacuated. I don't think you know one thing, the Indians also migrated from China. But one thing is clear to you, our people are not being treated as they deserve. They were confined to the reservation. Resembling a prisoner of war. I think you remember the letter that Seattle wrote to you, that you were not only kind to the earth and the river, but also to the people who welcomed you. ”

Chalmers was led into the jungle and watched as the Indians retreated into the jungle.

He knelt on the hill and watched as the cofferdam and dam began to deform with a single explosion. He hoped that the dam's thick concrete would withstand the blast, as the Indians did not have a chance to carry out a second blast.

But he was disappointed. The blasting in stages is like a design, each time it is a damaged dam foundation, and it is superimposed one at a time. The dam trembled and began to deform.

He guessed right. This blasting was indeed designed, transmitted from the country by satellite. Even the blasting order is under the control of the computer.

He didn't see the dam fall completely, for this strange army was moving freely through the forest. Even some Indians, who had been educated for decades in assimilation, still retained such unique skills.

The more than 1,000 auxiliary workers who were captured did not resist, most of them were Indians and blacks, and their status on the construction sites was very low, especially since some of the women were actually sex slaves to the soldiers. The Indians did not kill the entire construction site, and when they killed the soldiers and security forces, most of them retreated, and everyone knew that the dam could not be saved, so they scattered and fled higher ground. Some drove downstream to carry the news of impending flooding. The Indians did not stop.

The tremors caused by the collapse of the dam and the crash of the water can still be felt across the mountain.

Five warplanes flew slowly overhead. And then inexplicably exploded in the air, disintegrating. This must have been the work of some Indian warrior with a huge sniper rifle on his back.

These more than three hundred warriors known as Guardians are heavily armed, like future warriors in science fiction. In addition to guns and ammunition, there are also sharp scimitars. Chalmers saw with his own eyes that these warriors rushed into the soldiers, and it was a massacre, a one-sided massacre.

At least half of the more than 3,000 soldiers were killed by these 300 people. If it weren't for them, the Indians would still have fallen into a tragic defeat, as in history.

Between the mountains and the ravines, some of the farmer's houses are burning, but the crops are still growing. Telephone lines have been cut and bridges have been blown up. The Indians didn't need that, but the U.S. military did. In some small towns, gas stations and gas pipes were bombed. The region is going backwards, as if it were going back to the age of the wilderness.

"Don't stop in the farmland, you can't stop the enemy's aircraft and artillery, the farmland is here, they can't leave, only if we defeat the government army, we can live and work in peace and contentment."

A student-like man used the Indian language to stop the long-lost Indians from falling to the ground.

Su Yu kept his face dark, without a trace of joy and excitement.

Enter the real primeval jungle before the procession stops.

There are some camouflaged tents in the jungle, and there are children reading aloud. Virtually all of them were camouflaged, even the newly arrived Indians and captured workers.

More than two thousand militiamen sat cross-legged on the ground in rows.

Su Yu did not speak English, but spoke Chinese directly, with a student translating in Indian next to him.

"I'm sorry everyone, it's my fault for causing so many casualties to my clan." Su Yu seriously knelt down for the soldiers and kowtowed three times.

This made all the Indians prostrate on the ground.

Su Yu stood up, his face turned cold: "But today, you have also seen that none of the guardians have sacrificed, and they are a little injured, which is also the result of storming the firepower point in order to save you." But this is wrong, the point of fire should not be stormed, either dodge him, or take a sneak attack. And many of the firing points don't need to be attacked at all, because as long as we take control of the dam and blow it up, how many of them will survive? ”

"Why are you doing such pointless things? In order to save the dam, the soldiers at these firing points will inevitably come out and die on their own. But the result is the opposite, it is you who send you to your door. ”

"I have had the privilege of seeing some of the war histories prepared by Mr. Liang in which the Indians fought bravely, and I admire your bravery and fairness. But the truth is, you have failed, has no one ever wondered why? ”

"Today, not only the militia, but also many people who have been chosen as guardians not only did not stop the charge of their comrades, but rushed to the front. They sacrificed, and the sacrifice was not worth it. So I hope you will remember today's lesson. And I should learn the lesson of today, because you are not yet warriors, and you are far from being them. If you want to become a warrior, you must first become a guardian and fight like a guardian before you can become a warrior. From now on, you will divide into groups, follow the Guardians, follow their commands, and learn from them how to fight. ”

Su Yu pointed to the tents: "There, it is our children, it is our hope, they should own the land, the mountains and forests, the mountains, rivers and lakes and the sea, but the condition is that they must grow up, they must grow up under our protection." So here I get rid of everybody. ”

Su Yu saluted the militiamen.

Chalmers couldn't understand what Su Yu was saying. But he saw Su Yu practice the oldest Indian etiquette, or Chinese etiquette, to his soldiers.

And more than 2,000 people gradually became calm from the chaotic excitement, and then self-blame and hope.

The Indians have hope, and a people with hope can they still stop it.

In this jungle, there were at least more than 10,000 Indians, and more than 3,000 white and black captives. More than thirty clan leaders followed Liang Siyong and walked over. Su Yu apologized to the patriarchs before saying that he had completed the task.

Liang Siyong reported the news of the movements of the US military from various places.

"Zhang Zhi also encountered the problems encountered by the general, he lost six people, twelve people are now being treated in the hospital, and our medicine is still enough. They have gone to the sea, and we are ready to go to the seaside, and it is up to General Su for the time being. We will be back soon. ”

Liang Siyong is now the de facto leader of the Indians. (To be continued......)
