July 4, 1862, Independence Day in the United States, and this day is definitely not a holiday for the people of San Bernardino!

Bang bang! Bang bang!

"Ahhh

"Comrades! Advance! ”

"Ulla!"

"Oh God! Where did this bastard come from? ”

"Run! These guys are amazing! ”

&nbswanshuba，w≥ww.w→anshu↖ba.co↓mp; As soon as the sky was dark, a large group of guys with strange rifles, dressed in green but chaotic styles, didn't talk nonsense at all, didn't say hello, and killed the general!

San Bernardino doesn't have many inhabitants, it's a transit point now, it was a settlement when the Spaniards were still there, but now it's a United States, so it's a cargo station.

The people who came from the east had the most supplies, and most of the people who came out of California were laborers, mainly Chinese laborers, who were sent to the Midwest to open mines.

"Kill! Except for women and children, everyone else was killed! ”

"Comrades! The occupation of San Bernardino is Clint. The divine command of Li Majesty! It's also the most important part of our quest for California! Comrades! Honorable! ”

"Glory!"

"Fight for Your Majesty!"

“all-hail-lee！”

Ocassi rode on a chestnut warhorse, he brandished his saber, he had just been promoted to lieutenant colonel, his whole temperament was different, and he commanded the battle with firm and high morale!

In such a place, with a population of less than 500 people, there is no suspense at all about the whole battle. Because of these fierce guys who pounced on them viciously. More than 3,000 people!

That's right. Ocasi led 3,000 people, this is the main force of the revolutionary army that came to California, naturally this is also Li Mengyang's arrangement, what the emperor of the American Socialist Democratic Empire wants is to take this place with lightning speed, San Bernardino!

The battle was soon over, and Ocassi spoke to the herald.

"Report our victory to His Majesty the Emperor, we have completed the preliminary combat mission, and I, Okasi, will definitely lead all the soldiers of the revolutionary army. Stick to it without moving! ”

“yes-sir！” The herald saluted, and then turned his horse's head and headed west......

San Bernardino guards the old Spanish trail, and you can tell who built it by its name, but in fact, it shouldn't be built at all, this road is naturally there, and the Spaniards just discovered it.

What is California really like?

It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Sierra Nevada to the east, and the Rocky Mountains to the east. However, there is a gap. This is the Spanish Trail!

This path is of course very familiar to Li Mengyang, and he was sold to take this road, so he is very clear about the importance of this road.

Actually, it's not very important!

That's right, that's it, the Old Spanish Trail itself wasn't too important, anyway for California, which is now in 1862, and California at this time had three land routes to the outside world.

The three roads are like this, one goes south, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and then goes all the way along the southern border of the United States, passing Fort Yuma in the middle, passing through Tucson to El Paso, so that you can go east.

For this road, Li Mengyang seems to remember that he heard of a movie called "The Decisive Battle of Yuma Town" in his later life.

The other is from Fort Sutter, which is also Sacramento, to the east, across the Sierra Nevada to Carson City, Utah, and from here to the east across the Rocky Mountains.

Both of these are actually postal routes, where the postmen used to ride horses, and the third is the Old Spanish Trail.

As you can see from the map, the one on the north side is the Sacramento road, which is to cross the mountains, and the two roads on the south side are relatively flat, especially the old Spanish trail, this road is actually to cross the desert, but this road is along a small river of five people, this river is intermittent and nameless, but if you want to cross the desert, you must follow this road, it should be said to walk along the river!

Li Mengyang was transported out of this road by human traffickers back then, how did he not know?

And the two roads on the south side are connected, that is, they both pass through Los Angeles.

In other words, the occupation of Los Angeles and San Bernardino is equivalent to cutting off two of the three access roads between California and the outside world, but.

It really doesn't matter!

That's right, it should be said that these three routes are not particularly important for California, because if you rely on these three routes to transport materials and personnel, it will be a drop in the bucket.

The California Gold Rush began in 1848, but in reality, the real mass influx of gold diggers came in 1849, and they were called the '49 Gold Diggers, why? It's because they've been around for 49 years.

It's a hellish ride from east to west!

I don't know how many gold diggers with dreams died on the road, and this road to gold is actually full of blood and tears.

To be honest, the situation is much better after so many years of such a difficult road, but everyone knows that land transportation is too difficult, so it is better to think of other ways.

That's right, this is to go by sea and land, connecting Guò Panama with the east, and that Vanderbilt is relying on this to make his home!

In other words, California does not rely on these three roads at all, although these three roads are also used, but they are not used much, at most they are to send a letter, yes, these three roads are actually not important.

But!

What's going on now?

Li Mengyang has just captured Panama and seized ships from California, which is tantamount to cutting off the sea route from California, which is equivalent to blockading California at sea!

Of course, if we're going to raise the bar, it's that isn't California not sealed there? Isn't the coastline still very free? Is a big port like San Francisco still under the control of the United States?

Yes, it is not blocked, but once Panama is impassable, how does California connect to the east?

The only way is to take Cape Horn in South America, not to mention that Cape Horn itself is perennially strong and cold, just to say that this distance, a ship wants to go more than 7,000 nautical miles in the east!

What about going somewhere else?

Hawaii is not the United States now, and the north of California, although it is also the territory of the United States, but the development process is not the same as that of California, and the east is still the Rocky Mountains, and further north is Alaska, what is it like there? Primitive to the point that Tsarist Russia sold it at a low price!

So, to blockade Panama is to blockade California's sea routes!

And now, Li Mengyang has taken Los Angeles, which cuts off a pathway, and San Bernardino ......

On July 7th, a horse came east.

"Report to Your Majesty!"

"Please!"

"General Ocassi has taken San Bernardino! And he also said that he would stick there according to the plan! Never waver! ”

“very-well！” Li Mengyang was very happy, and he directly ordered the herald: "Sue General Sù Ocassi, if you can hold San Bernardino in this battle, the stars will not be far away!" ”

“yes-sir！” The herald changed horses and went east again!

That's great! A qiē all went according to the plan flawlessly!

Li Mengyang shook his fist excitedly at this time, because his battle plan had been preliminarily achieved!

Here's how it is now.

The sea has blocked California, Li Mengyang does not think that the weak US Navy can take down Panama, and you must know that there is Samuel at sea. Several temporarily converted warships commanded by Dupont, so, the sea route has been choked.

On land, now Li Mengyang has cut off the two external access roads in California, and the Southern Post Road and the Spanish Trail are under Li Mengyang's control!

Now there's only one road left for California, and that's the mail road to the north, but this road, hehe......

Anyway, Li Mengyang is very clear, if the Yankees can really use such a mountain and mountainous mail route to transport goods, then we will admit it!

In this way, Li Mengyang's battle plan is to blockade California?!

Right! It is to blockade California, which is an extremely bold battle plan!

Because how many people are there in Li Mengyang's hands? At the beginning, there were only 20,000 people, and now there are 25,000 people, so many people would think of locking down a state in the United States, which is still a relatively large state.

This ordinary person would never even dare to think about it!

However, with the current conditions in all aspects, this strategic goal can really be achieved!

"Hey...... If he hadn't been sold so once, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of this way! Li Mengyang can be regarded as a revisit to his hometown, and in retrospect, he really has some emotion......

Li Mengyang's position has been arranged, so what is the California government in the United States concluding?

"What? Los Angeles lost? San Bernardino lost? "In the California state government of Sacramento, John Brown. Neely. Johnson was dumbfounded when he looked at the report that came in.

"I said John, it's useless for you to be in a hurry now!" It was William T. Wallace, an old friend of John Johnson, who is now California's attorney general.

And what about Johnson?

"Can I not be in a hurry? I'm still half a year ahead as governor, but at this time, someone is going to attack California, and that's ...... You say, "Why am I so unlucky?" Didn't there be news that the rebels were going to land in San Francisco? ”

Governor?

That's right, the current governor of California has become John Brown again. Neely. Johnson! (To be continued......)

ps: It's even more when the black car code comes out, ask for support! Thank you very much!
