"Comrades! Great Leader Clint. His Majesty Li I taught us to speed up our pace and move forward bravely, and no hardship or obstacle can stop the legs of our imperial soldiers! ”

"Comrades! Great Leader Clint. Lee taught us that 10,000 years is too long, seize the day! ”

"It's all about speed! Great leaders taught us that baggage is a burden, and if you get rid of it, you will go faster! ”

In July 1868, the weather was very hot, but in the vast fields of Louisiana, a group of soldiers wearing green uniforms and waving bright red flags rode forward one by one, riding tall horses, moving forward quickly, under the scorching sun, they did not seem to know tiredness.

Nancy. Cheryl, sitting in the Caravan of Cornesto at this time, waved her whip and urged the two old horses pulling the cart to run quickly, but she always casually looked at those strange soldiers, really, not to mention Nancy, everyone in Texas would have seen it that way before.

Because these soldiers are really strange, strange costumes, green clothes are obviously ugly, and there is a red flag, and the most important thing is that these guys all have a 'turtle shell' on their heads......

But before, these guys didn't ride horses, they used to ride something called a car, but now, I heard that most of those cars need to be repaired, and they call it 'breaking down'.

"It's not a ...... at sea," Nancy couldn't help but complain.

Although Nancy was a woman, she was not a weak lady, she had once won a few big men in the tavern by wrestling her wrists, of course, it was actually the face bone that she kicked under the table for those unlucky people...... It can be said that this is a woman who is both wise and brave. And this woman appeared near the troops of the American Empire. This......

In fact. Nancy is most interested in this army is that this army doesn't rob things, they do business with you!

This is the strangest thing, because in the past, whether it was the South or the North, the army didn't seem to be like this, especially the Northerners, it was very bad, and this American Empire. Is that there an emperor?

But however, with the support of the dollar, Nancy didn't care what the emperor was or not, she drove her caravan and kept sending things to this army, all for food, starting from Dallas, and then simply following them, because these guys said that they could help them buy them. They can also give more money, and they go to buy it somewhere else. There are always some obstacles at first.

Anyway, there is money to be made, but there is a job recently, that is, the steward of this army, seeing that she is a woman, I hope she can take care of some high-ranking officials, all of them are noble people......

Fuck it, my mother is not a betrayal of hue!

Nancy was just making money, but she didn't want to be in the leather business, otherwise she wouldn't have to wrestle in a tavern before......

Didi! Whining!

Just as Nancy was in a hurry, she was thinking about it, when suddenly a car passed by her, still open-topped, with only three people in it.

“ASS-HOLE！” Nancy was normal, squirting Texas swear words very authentically, she didn't care who it was......

"......" Li Mengyang was in the car at this time, it was this kind of open-top, very similar to the car of a jeep...... Well, this guy must have drawn something again, but this car is really just a shape, not a reality, but the road in front of him is flat, but this bumpy almost makes his stomach shake out!

"Your Majesty, your mood is understood, but the current army is already the fastest speed, I hope Your Majesty is not too worried, or take care of your body." In the same car was Okashi, who saw that His Majesty the Emperor's face was a little pale, so he naturally wanted to say so.

But in fact, Li Mengyang is obviously bumped, he really can't stand the transportation of this era, although he said that this car was made by him, and countless people say that this thing is much more comfortable than the carriage, how hard the wheel of the carriage is, and the wheel of the car is at least filled with cotton...... Obviously, many people still don't think about it, why not put the wheels filled with cotton on the wagon?

"I'm not bothered by that." Li Mengyang naturally had to explain a little, but saying that he wanted to vomit because he was in the car, this seemed to damage the majesty of the emperor a little, bear with it!

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that the speed of our army's march is already beyond imagination, and now if you want to go further, it seems to be a little difficult." Of course, Ocassi wouldn't know what Li Mengyang was thinking.

"This ...... Oh! After another bump, Li Mengyang held back again.

But seeing this in Ocassi's eyes, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, if you want our army to come out of El Paso and cross Texas all the way, this is nearly a thousand miles away, and it is full of bandits, such a speed is absolutely rare. If it weren't for His Majesty's great invention, we would still be in Texas right now. ”

Ocassi wasn't making a fool of himself, although he wanted to do it, but in fact, what he said was the truth, the Empire's Eastern Route Army was indeed developing too fast, and at such a speed, it did rely on the application of automobiles.

It should be said that the car is not mature yet, but this thing is better than two legs, and in addition, the terrain of Texas is mostly flat dirt roads, that is, in the absence of roads, cars can also play a role, that is, they are bumpy.

"Okashi, I'm wondering, should we get rid of the car and some heavy weapons first?" Li Mengyang's face was still the same, but he thought of an idea now.

"Majesty!" Ocassi couldn't believe his ears, "There are a lot of cars that need to be repaired, but ......"

Ocassi wanted to say that it was a car and money, but he was embarrassed to say this, a little childish.

However, the current cars are not mature after all, to be honest, it is really a very good table to be able to transport nearly 80,000 people from the empire out of Texas, and the reason why it took two months to hit Del Notte before was actually to wait for these cars. It takes time.

But now. This large number of cars. There are thousands of them, and these cars have actually been modified, and a larger cargo bed can be hung in the back, which is actually used to transport people.

But all these cars were thrown away?

This is really not a small family's expression, because it's too tyrant to do this.

"Throw it away." Li Mengyang said very indifferently.

"......" Okashi was really shocked, he couldn't imagine that His Majesty the Emperor could do so thoroughly for a goal, those cars were valuable. Well, the car was originally driven and repaired.

But since His Majesty the Emperor has already been so resolute, what else is there to say?

“YES-YOUR-MAJESTY！” Ocassi replied with awe.

"Remember, Okashi, you have to throw away the burdens, no matter how valuable they are, when we can't use them, then they are worthless. We're going to travel light! As for the heavy artillery unit, haven't they already purchased a lot of horses before? Now throw all the money out, if we can get 100,000 horses, preferably 200,000, hehe, then won't we be fast again? ”

Li Mengyang's words are simply heroic!

"Majesty, I see!" Ocassi didn't say much, but it wasn't ......

Suddenly, suddenly......, suddenly This 'jeep' is also finished!

"Hahaha! All right! Let's go with the team! "Li Mengyang didn't wear the eye-catching 'dragon robe suit' at this time, he knew that the current marching speed was too fast, and there was danger ahead.

“YES-YOUR-MAJESTY！” Ocassi also smiled and followed......

Why do you want to go for this speed?

Because it's very simple, Li Mengyangtong's own intelligence network already knows about the ship activity in the port of New Orleans, and someone must be heading upstream of the Mississippi River, so do you want to have a river crossing battle or go over first?

Of course, it's faster than whom.

However, why is Li Mengyang so arrogant? In other words, how much budget did he prepare for this big war?

Fighting, in fact, what is fighting is money, you will never be able to play without money, Li Mengyang is a person who has fought an old war, how could he not know.

For this crusade that would determine the life and death of the empire, Li Mengyang prepared a large sum of money, and the basic figure was about 300 million gold francs.

Hey, how is it a basic number? And how to calculate it in gold francs?

Because it's very simple, a gold franc is almost a gram of gold, so it's easier to calculate......

Well, in fact, the main reason is that these 300 million gold francs are 100 tons of aluminum!

1 hundred tons of aluminum?

That's right, according to the current international aluminum price, it is indeed almost 300 million gold francs, but it's not right, how to use this 100 tons of aluminum? Now the trade is all gold and silver, and the Imperial army is not used in dollars?

Yes, USD, GBP, FRANC...... Now these major currencies, in fact, are compared with gold, no currency is compared with aluminum, although aluminum is very before, is three times the price of gold, but directly with aluminum is not good, but!

Since the price of aluminum is like this, although it cannot be directly compared, this thing can be used as collateral.

When the Northern Route Army left before, didn't they also take a lot of dollars, but in fact, these dollars, a large number of dollars, were all mortgaged by Li Mengyang with this hundred tons of aluminum!

With whom?

JP. Morgan, that guy saw this 100 tons of aluminum, so what else to say, isn't it just dollars, it doesn't matter!

JPMorgan Bank immediately became active on Wall Street, and their family naturally would not have so much money, but how could Wall Street be short of rich people?

The famous Rothschilds seem to have come in......

As a result, Li Mengyang's imperial army didn't bring any money at all, but when it came to the United States and Texas, the banks in these places were all green lights, it didn't matter how much you wanted, it was ready for a long time!

This is a simple financing, but the collateral for this financing is aluminum, which is a ...... Anyway, Li Mengyang really doesn't want that hundred tons of aluminum, who wants to give it to whom, whatever!

The true cost of this big war is probably only known to Li Mengyang alone.

However, this seems to be fighting the United States with American money, right?

Hey~ Discipline, Discipline...... (To be continued......)
