Cameron's self-confidence actually comes from familiarity with war!

What does a war need?

The battlefield, the soldiers, the guns, and even the salaries, the grain and grass...... These things can be seen on the surface, but in fact, there is one most important thing underneath this qiē, and that is information!

What information?

It's that you're going to attack a place, you're going to occupy a place, you're going to colonize a place, so you have to know what's going on in that place, right?

The simplest logic, if you want to colonize that place, you first have to know that there is such a place, right?!

Yes, that's the logic, from a distance, the Great Voyage is also the Great Geographical Discovery, why did it start in the 16th century?

Because at that time, Europeans only knew that there was an American continent, and only then did they know that there was a southern Africa in North Africa!

I didn't know before, but not only was it separated by a Sahara Desert, but I didn't dare to go on the sea, because there was a word marked on the chart, HELL!

And the same is true for us in China, how far away we are, there was still the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the way before, how can they know the real situation?

In the eyes of Europeans, they don't know the situation of the Chinese, they used to be most familiar with the Ming Empire, what a powerful empire it was, but they didn't expect that it was replaced by the Qing Empire, how powerful is the Qing Empire?!

Therefore, just before the first YA film war in 1860, whether the British wanted to use troops against the Qing State was debated for a long time. They don't know the reality of the Qing Kingdom. They don't know that the Qing Kingdom has decayed to the point of dregs. They're scared!

As a result, needless to say, then this is a step by step understanding, step by step you can eat tofu.

That's Britain that has experienced the Industrial Revolution, they are still like this, they don't know, what about other countries?

In other words, information is a thing in this day and age. It's very, very valuable, and it's very, very hard to get.

And that's where Cameron's self-confidence comes from, he knows that the tyrant is Clint. Li is very smart, very powerful, and very strong, but even if you are so strong, do you know the current situation in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi in the United States? Do you know the local information?

Just from Clint. Judging by Lee's specific information, he should be the thief Clint. Eastwood. He had traveled from the west to the center and then to the east, but this was the location of the thief's activities. Most of them were the northern states of the United States at the time, and now they are coming from Texas to the south, and the tyrant will know about the crucial thing of information?

It should be said that Cameron, an old man, may have a bad character, maybe he is more obscene, a shriveled old man, but this person is really material, his confidence is very reasonable, and this truth is also very correct and correct in the current era.

Normally, in this era, it is not easy to obtain this information, such as the geography, cultural situation, and transportation situation of Texas, well, as far as Li Mengyang is concerned, maybe with the help of the Indians, it can be stronger, but what about other states?

Don't even talk about these, many people don't know the importance of these information, normal human beings in this era are like this, they only need to know the things within 20 kilometers of their homeland, people, their interpersonal relationships will stay within this 20 kilometers range, no matter how far away, there is no need for it!

This is the current era, a person's normal information configuration, he can be like this, no matter how much he knows, he can be a successful person who learns or something.

Maybe Clint. That guy Li knows a lot, but he's already a well-known writer and a newspaper giant...... There are already a lot of identities, and the amount of knowledge and information he has is about the same, right? How high can it go?

So, based on this judgment, if the American Empire wants to come from Mexico and start attacking the American mainland from Del Notte, which is El Paso, to the east, if that tyrant is not a fool, he needs to do a lot of information gathering, which is very difficult and time-consuming!

Cameron's judgment, and his theory, that's right, after he told Lincoln this truth, Lincoln also agreed very much, because that's true, yes, we in the United States should pay attention to the American Empire, but we don't need to panic, we can do it in an orderly and step-by-step manner!

It should be said that this judgment of the Lincoln administration in Washington is correct and understandable in the present era.

However, they don't know one thing, that is, Li Mengyang is not an ordinary guy, he is a cross-over ......

In March 1868, the town of Del Note, across from El Paso, had completely changed its appearance, and at some distance from the Rio Grande, patches of green camps had appeared, and these tents had sprung up as if they had somehow sprung up.

El Paso is the number one military town of the U.S. military on the Mexican border, and it is actually such a piece of Texas protruding to the west, because the current quasi-state of New Mexico is still a quasi-state, and it has not yet been officially established as a state, so it is done from the administrative division, otherwise this place should be New Mexico, which shows the importance of this place!

At this time, the number of U.S. troops stationed in El Paso is not much, Sherman took everything he could take before, and now he has not returned, yes, his escape route is not right, it is estimated that it will take at least half a month to rush over, but now the Mexican side is already a large army overwhelmed!

The American GIs looked panicked in their hearts, they were originally on the other side of the river, that is, in Del Note, but as soon as they saw the army of the American Empire, they ran over directly, but what now?

And ah, it's not just those tents, I don't know when. You can see it from the other side of the river with a telescope. There are a lot of cannons that have not been seen before!

That's definitely a cannon. Because the soldiers of the Federation still know the cannon barrel or something, but the style of the cannon is really different, not only one cannon tube, but also two tubes up and down, and I don't know what it is for.

But now......

"Comrades! Angle four or five! The No. 1 gun of the 1st Artillery Regiment, a test shot! …… Put! ”

Jiang Yun's little red flag waved down again, and then the operator of the No. 1 artillery was pulling the line!

Rumble! A cannon rang out, and the muzzle erupted in flames!

Yo ~ Yo ~ The long scream of the cannonball in the air. Almost instantly crossed the Rio Grande, and immediately after!

Bang!

"Fack!"

"Oh God!"

"Mom! I want Mom! ”

Where had these El Paso defenders seen such heavy artillery fire?

This cannon is a test shot, there is no way, this year has to come like this, first hit a shot to see the effect, and then correct, that is, after 100 years, in fact, the artillery did this, so this cannon actually didn't kill anyone.

But the Willie of this cannon is too terrifying!

The might, the wave of air. People who are far away can't stand steadily, howitzers. For the infantry, even if this howitzer at this time is still relatively rudimentary, it is too terrifying.

And there is another point, that is, the artillery on the United States side does not have this range, the US army in El Paso had the range advantage of artillery, otherwise the Imperial Army is now camped a little far, but now, the range advantage has dropped, don't look at the howitzer, but it is much farther than the artillery on the United States side!

"Adjust!" Jiang Yun shouted again, and immediately adjusted the angle after the first test shot, and then it was easy below.

Bang! Another shot!

"Oh my God!!"

This time, the defenders of El Paso didn't shout God and the old lady, they didn't have a chance to shout, because this cannon really hit them!

"Great!" Holding the binoculars and looking at it, Jiang Yun said that he was very satisfied, so there is no need to say next, "Comrades! Salvo! ”

Wave the little flag, then come!

Bang! Bang! ……

Across a big river, I just heard the sound of explosions everywhere on the other side!

"Ahhh

"Run!"

"Nonsense!"

Less than ten minutes after the defenders of El Paso were shelled by the American Empire, they began to flee......

This qiē naturally fell into Li Mengyang's eyes, he was on a relatively high ground in Del Not, where he took a telescope and watched.

To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied, because now his artillerymen still use binoculars to roughly correct the impact point, which is ...... It's like the kind of mirror used by the artillerymen is different, right? It's the kind that sticks out, like the top half of an X-shape.

But this kind of thing, he Li Mengyang doesn't understand, even if he paints, it's useless, because optics is a kind of instrument, obviously the inside is the key, he can draw a rough idea, but what to do inside?

If you want to say that he Li Mengyang has not drawn a lot of things, just the kind of howitzer now, you see that there are two more pipes, in fact, Li Mengyang doesn't know what that thing is for, but he has seen it, there is it in the movie "Three Great Battles"!

Well, the life of an abstract artist, I won't say much.

But however, it was also very smooth to take El Paso, and according to the map and the message given by the Indians, here in Texas, after opening the portal to El Paso, then the Imperial army was greeted by an open field!

In fact, El Paso itself is an open field, and the reason why the US military is guarding it here is because it has to endure that there is a river.

But don't be done, the Empire's strategic policy is divided into two ways......

"Fan Yong, this time the Northern Route Army is led by you, do you have any other requirements?" Li Mengyang put down the binoculars and asked Meng Fanyong beside him.

Meng Fanyong has been appointed as the commander of the Northern Route Army at this time, to be honest, his pressure is really great, in the words of His Majesty the Emperor, that is Yali Mountain!

But...... Here's what he said, "Majesty! I don't have anything else to ask for! (To be continued......)
