The year 1625 has finally passed, and the heavy snow on New Year's Day has not drowned out the bustling wedding scene in a large luxury villa estate in the southern part of Manchester City, which was newly built two months ago.

After a marathon "love", Yang Wenwen, the chief rich woman of Huamei Yang Wenwen Life Investment Group, and Ren Changle, president of COSCO International Trade Group, finally got married. Together, the two became the second couple with a family income of more than $100,000 in 1624 after An Shaoqing and Zhang Li, and their year-end corporate dividends also opened the eyes of various investors.

Ren Changle's venture capital investment in the Portuguese colony in Brazil since the previous year finally paid off, coupled with the key business operation of Shuangwan City in Bermuda, has now become the largest supplier of natural rubber, crude cane sugar, textile fiber, tobacco and several special ore raw materials for domestic enterprises, and has established a deep power and money relationship with several major Portuguese aristocratic trade agents.

The former small accountant of a private enterprise is now in high spirits, holding Yang Wenwen, who is wearing a super gorgeous snow-white wedding dress, walking on the red carpet in the spacious villa hall, accepting the laughter and coaxing of countless people. Stories of when the two met basically fighting each other have long been spread throughout Manchester City, and it's hard to imagine the scene now.

Even though the white wedding dress has appeared at various weddings in China and the United States many times before, it has never been as eye-catching as Yang Wenwen is today. The white wedding dress, designed entirely by the bride herself, incorporates almost every detail she can think of, whether it is the fabric, the jewelry decoration or the workmanship, all of which are spent on death. It's just a jaw-dropping visual effect.

The sensational effect created by Queen Victoria's wearing a white wedding dress at the wedding in history has finally been performed by Yang Wenwen in advance, and several women who got married earlier after crossing over are secretly envious.

President Chen Changyuan and his wife were smiling, accompanied by several adopted grandchildren and granddaughters, and presided over the marriage ceremony for Ren Changle and Yang Wenwen. Accompanied by his daughter and son-in-law, Liu Laozheng, president of the Senate, whispered in the corner with Supreme Justice Zhong Jinshan and his wife, who have been working hard for the past few years. Liu Lao is already snow-silver-haired, and his spirit is much worse than in previous years.

The original nearly 500 crossed the men and women. Most of them are now married, which is a great relief to the few elderly people who were initially worried about the problem. Looking at a pair of young men and women giggling at the wedding scene, the old people all showed a smile of relief. No matter how many internal disagreements there are. How many ideological differences, but such a collective, will always be the greatest treasure of the country at this stage. When the country gradually moves towards stable development, these young generations will surely pave the way for the realization of the vision of the founding of the country.

"Mr. Ren, Madam! We'll be a family from now on! Adelaide, dressed in a high-end handmade suit, walked in front of Ren Changle and his wife with a bright smile with wine.

Adelaide, the former captain of the Mayflower, who formally resigned from the state-owned import and export group a few months ago, accepted Ren Changle's invitation to become the vice president of COSCO International Trade Group and was entrusted with the formation of an ocean shipping subsidiary.

For this purpose, Adelaide made a special trip to Europe. More than 100 European sailors were recruited, plus more than a dozen veteran sailors who followed him at the earliest, and the team of "Mayflower (COSCO International) Transportation Company" was set up. Four sail galen ships eliminated by the state-owned import and export group were officially leased by COSCO International Trade Group, and an order for a short shirt-class flying scissor merchant ship was also placed to Beiyang Shipbuilding Company.

As the leading pure trading enterprise in China, the expansion of COSCO International Trade Group can be said to be greatly favored by the financial community. North American Development Bank loans and capital injections by several major funds have reached the maximum limits of their respective operational policies. Adelaide's ocean shipping subsidiary, which Adelaide is responsible for, secured its first operation almost the same day it was founded, transporting a batch of construction supplies and military supplies for the overseas consulate of Butterfly Island (Guadeloupe).

"From now on, Bermuda's business to Brazil will be taken care of by Mr. Adelaide. COSCO International Trade Group will never treat the core management badly! I heard that your second daughter, Elizabeth, has been admitted to an 'Ivy' college? Well, when she graduates in the future, she will come to Life Investment Group to be my secretary! Yang Wenwen smiled and clinked glasses with Adelaide. He expressed extreme satisfaction with digging up an old elf like Adelaide.

"Haha, being able to cooperate with Mr. and Mrs. Ren is, of course, the most wonderful thing in the world!"

Adelaide, which has already acquired a stake in the group, knows that from today onwards, it has officially entered the ranks of the first-class social crowd in the Republic of China and the United States of America, and it is even more energetic when it speaks. Thinking that his second daughter Elizabeth had just been admitted to an Ivy League higher education school and had just been admitted to an Ivy League higher education school, she was even more flattered: "God, what good news, I wonder if she will have insomnia tonight when I tell her the news?" ”

People like Adelaide can idle and fart with the newlyweds, while most of the government dignitaries involved in the wedding are whispering around certain corners, and the topic is naturally the current "Atlantic Checkers" program. Defense Minister Zheng Quan and two commanders of the services analyzed the latest military progress on the side; Zhou Yi, Minister of Construction, Tang Ke, Minister of Civil Affairs, and Li Xiang, Minister of Immigration, discussed the progress of various work in the "Twin Ports", the capital of Butterfly Island; Vice Foreign Minister Yan Xiaosong and the Minister of Homeland Security are discussing the possible attitude of the Spaniards in the future......

A wedding of the country's elite has almost become an impromptu discussion on various issues such as the country's economy, government affairs, and military, and various topics related to the country in the next few years have quietly unfolded in bursts of music and laughter.

High-end wines from Bordeaux in Portugal, acorn ham from Spain, champagne from England, cheese from the Netherlands, as well as liquor and spices from the Ming Empire in the far East, as well as exquisite dishes made with olive oil from the southern part of the Italian peninsula......

The dance music played by the band sounded, and Cheng Daxiong relied on a wave of German craftsmen to carefully craft harmonica, clarinet, bassoon, cornet and other instruments. The Manchester City Orchestra was created to plagiarize and play the famous song "Carmen" again. A pair of well-dressed men and women began to dance, especially the newlyweds.

And outside the urban area, the New Year's Day holiday also creates a rare happy rest period in the lives of ordinary citizens. Under the heavy snowfall, the festive decorations are covered in snowflakes, and men and women carry umbrellas and walk up and down the streets in their new winter clothes. It injected the first vitality into the first day of the year 1625 in the Gregorian calendar.

At noon, the temperature in Guadeloupe, which is considered to be part of the northern hemisphere, rises to nearly 30 degrees. It feels very unscientific.

In the dense shade of tropical rainforest plants, an area of nearly one square kilometer is scattered with hundreds of officers and soldiers armed with rifles, wearing the summer uniforms of the US Army of China, and carrying military backpacks.

The sweaty soldiers were being tortured to death by the dense forest. Someone was falling or getting tangled in vines under their feet, or they were somehow panicked by something disgusting falling from the canopy overhead.

Abusive, cursing, and occasional shouts of terror, the officers and men of the Army, who had been alive a month ago, are now staggering forward with their weapons in their hands like a group of lost children who have lost their parents.

There was another scream in the distance, followed by a chaotic burst of gunfire, and it seemed that another soldier had been overshadowed by the trap of the Caribs, and dozens of officers and soldiers nearby were nervously holding rifles and aiming around, and the non-commissioned officers hurriedly organized reinforcements in the direction of the gunfire.

Somewhere in the jungle. A large mouth opened in the foliage-covered ground, and several pale soldiers crouched beside it. A platoon of Chinese Army officers and men panicked and aimlessly formed a circle in all directions, and the slightest disturbance would cause several gunshots.

"These damned barbarians! If I were to catch any of them, I would hang him on the watchtower of the camp! Looking at the Chinese private who was killed in one fell swoop by a few spikes in the trap. Sergeant Major Maddie slashed the machete in his hand on the trunk of the tree on one side, and looked around at the soldiers around him with a pair of red and terrible eyes, "Zhang, take your squad to cover on the left, Corporal Benny, your squad should watch the back." Shoot when you spot a barbarian! ”

Before he finished speaking, a string of figures suddenly appeared from the surrounding trees, and several feathered arrows shot like lightning towards the Chinese army officers and soldiers in the dense forest. Screams rang out, and two people were shot through their throats by bone arrows on the spot, and their necks covered with blood gushing out of their necks fell to the ground and convulsed.

Countless figures dangled from the surrounding trees and vines, and the Caribbean warriors, armed with primitive weapons such as short spears and stone axes, instantly approached the officers and soldiers of the Chinese and American Army. Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire in the woods, figures rolling, bayonets fluttering, and screams of pain erupted.

"Don't pester them, fence them all! Grenade ready! Sergeant Major Maddie was going crazy, and while holding a revolver, he shot a Carib man who was swinging a tree vine swing and was about to pounce on him, knocking the opponent's slender body directly out of the air, while shouting at the officers and soldiers who were beaten around him.

The fierce hand-to-hand combat continued in front and behind the shadows of the trees, but more Chinese Army soldiers who came from all sides formed a temporary defensive circle under the organization of the non-commissioned officers. Smoke-emitting grenades were thrown into the surrounding green shadows of the jungle, the shock wave and smoke of the explosion rose and fell in all directions, and the occasional miserable shouts of the Caribbeans who had been bombed.

"Retreat! Get out! What the! Seeing that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, Sergeant Maddie could only beckon the gathered soldiers to retreat to the south.

Half an hour later, the 5th Infantry Company, which had lost more than a dozen soldiers, withdrew from the sweep area they were responsible for, and then angrily sent a message by radio in the direction of the landing base camp.

A few minutes later, a series of whistling sounds flew from the direction of the coast, and 90-mm high-explosive shells smashed into the dense rainforest, and the naval fleet on standby began a brief artillery bombardment at the urging of the army, followed by the army's 60-mm mortars also joined the fire retaliation lineup.

The primeval tropical jungle was shaken by waves of high-temperature expansion, and slightly younger trees broke and collapsed in the blast wave. Smoke and smoke filled the forest, and countless shrapnel, dirt, and branches swept and flew through the cracks of the small woods.

"Lieutenant Scott! Sir, the soldiers are already tired. If this continues, the casualties will continue to increase. I bet even those guys from the Special Combat Team won't be able to find the exact location of those Caribbean barbarians! Standing in the tent of the company headquarters, Sergeant Maddie was wearing a military uniform that had been razed beyond recognition by the rainforest, and his expression was very depressed, "My God, there are 12 more casualties today. In just one month, we have already lost 1 platoon, but we have advanced less than 500 meters before we are driven out! Except for hell. There's nothing worse than this place. ”

Looking at the dirty faces of his subordinates, Lieutenant Scott stood up and stared at the rainforest a few hundred meters across the river. The brows furrowed tightly.

"Defend along the river, Sergeant Major Maddie, let the soldiers rest and return the wounded to the landing base camp." Lieutenant Scott sighed softly, "I'll go to the general headquarters and ask for instructions to stop the attack until a new order is given." ”.

Beginning in the middle of last month, four companies of infantry officers and soldiers of the U.S. Army marched along the Tamsui River west of the East Island toward the rainforest to the northeast. After several defeats in the initial battles, the remaining Caribbean warriors decisively chose to retreat into the pristine rainforest after paying the price of several villages being destroyed. A protracted war was waged with the U.S. Army in China.

The U.S. Army, which had no rainforest combat experience to draw from, encountered far more fierce resistance than the Quebec Indians in North America. Within half a month, more than 100 men had been attrition due to fighting, illness, or inexplicable disappearances, among which the 5th Infantry Company under the command of Lieutenant Scott suffered the most severe losses, with more than 30 officers and men killed or wounded. It can also be regarded as some kind of retribution for the easy ambush of the Caribbeans that night.

No matter how well prepared you are, after actually experiencing the battle of hide-and-seek with the barbarians in the tropical jungle, it will make people feel even more disgusting. Compared with the cunning and courage of the Caribbeans, the mosquitoes of this tropical island have brought unbearable diseases to the officers and men of the troops, and the quinine extracted from the precious cinchona bark obtained from South America has basically been exhausted within a month, but it still cannot completely solve the spread of malaria among the troops.

"The special forces have not yet arrived. We can't force a deep sweep like this without a clear goal! In the general headquarters of the landing base camp, staff officer You Nanzhe walked around in front of a group of officers angrily, "Now the sweeping area is still within the range of naval guns, if you go deeper, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to organize an attack!" Today, there are no fewer patients than casualties, medicines are still inadequate, and we need to rest. ”

"But time can't wait, the six-month plan we booked to completely clean up the East Island has now passed a month, and even 10% of the area has not been completed!" Major Feng Bin, the commander-in-chief of operations, frowned, and his situation was very bad, "The special combat team is going to Europe to carry out a mission, and it will take at least a month to redeploy here, and we can't tell the army command that without those individuals, we plan to spend the New Year here?" After all, this time it's ...... Forget it, don't talk about it! ”

Feng Bin said this, stopped, and turned around very depressedly. From the very beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Feng Bin has been serving as the garrison in the direction of West Point Town, so he has missed many opportunities, and from the inside of the army, it is obvious that he has long lagged behind He Yu, who has been promoted to lieutenant colonel with great achievements. This time, Feng Bin took the initiative to apply for the post of commander-in-chief of Guadeloupe's operations, which may also be related to his eagerness to gain self-identity.

Looking at the expression of his boss who wanted to speak and stopped, You Nanzhe knew very well what the other party was thinking now, but he couldn't say it in front of other officers.

"You Nanzhe, I need you to formulate a new combat plan, no matter what, you have to make visible progress tomorrow!" After a minute, Feng Bin finally turned around and showed a frank look at the staff officer, "Not only for everyone here, but also for the ...... of this country."

"Understood...... I'll do my best. ”

You Nanzhe glanced at the other officers present, and could only take a deep breath and nodded slowly.

The next day, thanks to the addition of the frigate Delaware, the naval fleet engaged in the operation in Guadeloupe was further strengthened. At noon, the offensive began, and as soon as the artillery fire came, it entered a high-intensity rhythm, and the naval artillery fire coverage extended from the front line of the operation to the maximum firing range, almost washing the primeval forest of the Chinese and US Army on the advance route, and the violent explosion shock wave, shrapnel and burning forest fire almost turned a 50-meter-wide passage in the primeval forest.

Then, half an hour later, under the continued cover of mortars, the officers and men of the four companies of the Chinese Army, who had suffered enough some time ago, swarmed up with all kinds of vulgar slogans. The speed of the advance was amazing, and the troops passed directly through the forest in half an hour, finding at least dozens of Carib corpses covered in fire along the way.

The hundreds of US Army officers and soldiers who came out of the forest found themselves standing on a gentle slope, and in the distance from the edge of the slope, just over 200 meters away from the edge of the forest, by a small river, there was a huge Caribbean village. The previous shelling had destroyed the opponent's rainforest defenses, and with the rapid advance, the thousands of Caribbean women and children here had no time to cross the river to escape, and there were even a few unextinguished smoke in the village.

The officers and men of the Chinese and American Army rushed down the gentle slope one after another and began to raise their guns to aim. In sight, the Carib retreat dragged on in a slow and disorderly manner, but a number of young Caribbeans who were protecting their families had already rushed over with spears raised.

After a volley of shots, a dozen Caribbean warriors collapsed in pools of blood. The Caribbean men in the village began to split into two groups, one pushing their families into canoes and sending them into the creek, and the other with primitive weapons that could be found, continuing to rush out of the village towards the Chinese and American Army officers.

Several organ machine guns rolled out of the forest, and before the gun carriage could be fully reinforced, a shrill firing rang out. Countless machine-gun bullets swept at the intrepid Caribbean men at supersonic speeds, shattering their thin bodies, and even burrowing into the villages, knocking over the old and weak women and children who were still messing around in the face of the enemy.

The mortars fired, too, and shells flew into the creek, whipping up high columns of water between the canoes, occasionally hitting just right, tearing pieces of wood and corpse limbs apart in the scarlet curtain of water.

More organ machine guns appeared on the gentle slope, one by one joining in the fire, while the infantry crouched tightly at the bottom of the gentle slope, methodically firing, reloading, and firing again.

"Keep shooting!"

Sergeant Major Maddie spat at the ground in retaliation, pulled out his revolver, and knocked another Caribbean who miraculously crossed the line of fire to less than ten meters from the infantry.

The dense sound of gunfire, the shrill shuttle of bullets through the air, the deafening explosions, the screaming of mortar shells flying through the air, the mournful cries, and the dull sound of the collapse of village houses...... Countless Caribs fell to their deaths under all kinds of firepower, blood stained from the village to the other side of the creek, and corpses were strewn everywhere as far as the eye could see.

"Get on the bayonet! Advance! ”

When there was no longer a single Carib standing within a few hundred meters of them, the non-commissioned officers drove the infantrymen, who had turned a little pale after venting, to clean up the battlefield.

The wounded Caribs, who were still groaning, were stabbed to death by the infantry, and the women, children, and children who had managed to escape by hiding in the corners of the ruins were confined to the banks of an open river. In the ruins of the village where the gunfire has dissipated, the occasional cry of a baby and the wailing of a woman can be heard. Almost every Caribbean woman and child was dyed red by the blood of their family members, and they looked numb or frightened at the foreign invaders who were constantly moving in front of them.

"Prisoners of war can't always be used locally and find a way to bring them back home." You Nanzhe glanced at the Caribbean women and children who were pressed to the temporary detention place in a string, and sighed slightly, "It's not always that 'good' luck, go back and send a letter to the army headquarters, let's send reinforcements......"

Lieutenant Scott, who was standing on the gentle slope, quietly glanced at several other Chinese officers, and silently walked towards the officers and men of his company. And the officers and soldiers of the Chinese and US Army, who had finished venting, looked blankly at the bloodshed around them.

In this campaign, under the tactics of artillery fire and scrubbing by the staff officer Captain You Nanzhe, the Chinese Army finally occupied the western part of the East Island, which had not been able to sweep and conquer for a month, and destroyed the largest Carib settlement ever discovered, killing more than 800 Caribs and taking less than 300 prisoners.
