Alaska is the largest American enclave in the distance. The first native people to live in Alaska were Indians, Eskimos, and Aleuts. Indians live primarily in relatively warm, densely forested, and vegetated areas of southern Alaska. Some Indians live in the central region with harsh natural conditions, and the Indians living in the harsh areas mainly rely on hunting, so this part of the Indians are brave and good at war, not afraid of strong enemies, and are much stronger than the Indians living in other areas.

Eskimos live mainly in the extremely cold regions of the north, where their numbers are relatively small, and the harsh natural environment makes their population development very slow. Eskimos are naturally tolerant of the cold and live mainly by hunting and fishing. The Aleuts mainly live by the sea, the sea is their food and clothing, the Aleuts have little contact with the outside world, and their lives are relatively primitive and closed. It was the Russians who crossed the Bering Strait and set foot on the closed land of Alaska. They conquered the natives by force and became the new masters.

Due to the abundance of wildlife in Alaska, the Russians bought furs here, and the business became more and more popular, and then the North American Russian Company was established to officially manage Alaska. Later, the fur business was sluggish, and the Russians lost enthusiasm for this inhospitable land. In 1867, the Americans took the opportunity to buy the land from the Russians for $2.7 million. At the time, some do-gooders calculated and joked that the average amount of land in Alaska was 2 cents per acre, which was almost a gift.

Even so, Americans scoffed at the absurdity of the government's actions and considered the purchase of this barren land worthless. At the time, it was thought that this was the stupidity of the federal government. After the United States took over this land, it did not feel cold about this enclave for a long time. At the end of the 19th century, the gold rush in the western United States arose, and gold was discovered in the Juneau region of Alaska. The U.S. government began to pay formal attention to the enclave, and with the influx of gold diggers into Alaska, the U.S. began to formally set up institutions to administer Alaska, but Alaska was still not incorporated into the United States.

The U.S. travel to Alaska by sea, which is convenient and safe, so Americans and gold prospectors travel to Alaska almost overland. Actually, this is the time now. Canadian lands that connect Alaska to the United States are not technically part of Canada's inherent territory at the moment, and Canada is currently only a member of the Commonwealth. His effective jurisdiction was in the eastern province of Quebec, the region of the 5 Great Lakes, and was subject to British rule.

The first people to occupy Quebec in Canada were mainly British and French. The two fought for dominance, and a seven-year war ensued. Later the French were defeated. The British established a federal regime here. and accept the jurisdiction of Great Britain. Due to the Chinese Empire's butterfly wings, the British declined early in successive wars, and with the collapse of the British Commonwealth such as Nanyang, Canada took advantage of the British to take advantage of the fact that the British had no time to take care of it, and took the opportunity to declare Canadian independence. In fact, the Americans secretly supported Canada, and the British Empress went all out to deal with the Chinese Empire, so she had no choice but to acquiesce to Canada's actions.

Since they fully supported Canadian independence, Americans were generous. All land north of Seattle will be assigned to Canada. Barren land, barren land, Americans naturally don't care. Due to the accelerated expansion of land in Canada. The scarcity of the population makes it impossible for Canada to pay attention to the border, and it can be said that the border between the United States and Canada can only be reflected on the map, and the actual border line is very vague, and there are no troops stationed in the border area, not even border checkpoints.

Deng Zixuan asked He Meng to send cavalry troops to assist the Indians to travel to Alaska by land for two purposes, one was that the northern region was the traditional living area of the Indians, and later the United States law stipulated that the Indians could only live in the reservation area, so the Indians' exchanges between various places were interrupted. This overland advance to the north was intended to allow the Eagle Chieftain to contact more Indian tribes. The second is the bandit logic advocated by Europeans and Americans, and the truth is within the range of the cannon. It means that the area through which the cavalry troops passed was henceforth the land of the Great Indian Republic.

After a 10-day trek to Seattle and 10 days of intense and harsh training, the military quality of the Indian cavalry unit changed significantly. They don't stick feathers in the back, the main reason is that it's too much of a hindrance to the training. The bones of the beast are still worn around the neck but placed in the underwear, which is difficult to distinguish from the expeditionary force from the outside, and such a significant change is a spontaneous change in the safety of the Indians, which is the result of subtle changes. Military training is gradually on the right track, and Nangong's pressure has decreased sharply.

Approaching Seattle, the weather suddenly became warmer, and as if a funny joke was played, the weather suddenly became lighter. Many officers and soldiers were a little uncomfortable. The latitude of Seattle is about the same latitude as the imperial Heilongjiang, but due to the influence of the Pacific Ocean Current, the temperature in Seattle is much warmer than that of Heilongjiang. The Rocky Mountains north of Seattle have blocked the intrusion of cold snaps, and with the warm Pacific current, there is a cave-in-the-sky area that seems to be full of spring. Seattle has abundant rainfall, with more than 900 millimeters of rainfall throughout the year.

The weather became warmer, and the officers and soldiers began to come alive. "Haha, I didn't expect that Siatu is like stuffing the south of the Yangtze River, looking at the lush trees all over the mountains, this world is so wonderful, it's incredible." Nangong rode on a horse and marveled at the changes in nature. "Brother Nangong is puzzled, Brother I'm also confused, it stands to reason that the further north you go, the colder it gets, what's going on?" Feng Jingzhang also joked that no one could answer this question. The Eagle Chief said: "After the north of Vancouver is the Rocky Mountain, but the north side of the Rocky Mountain is not like this, maybe this is the will of God." ”

The cavalry unit arrived in Seattle and was met by the Marine Brigade that had arrived in advance. The Marine Brigade entered Seattle and Vancouver by ship and found that the American troops had been withdrawn. After learning of the situation, the Expeditionary Force Command ordered the Marine Brigade to temporarily be stationed in Seattle and Vancouver as a garrison, and ordered the 3rd Corps to stop moving north and east. Feng Jingzhang, as the supreme commander, decided to rest in Seattle for two days, during which he was to communicate with the Pacific Fleet, and a transport fleet would go north along the coastline to serve as the supply of the army.

Two days passed quickly, and the cavalry units continued to advance. The Seattle Cavalry Unit is equipped with two high-power radios to facilitate communication with the transport fleet and headquarters. Seattle is located about 170 kilometers from Vancouver within Canada. The climate of Vancouver is similar to that of Seattle, so the warm atmosphere and dense forests and fields along the way make the officers and soldiers feel happy, especially the war horses under their crotches are scattering joy, often stopping to move forward and grazing on the grass on the roadside.

The troops were about 50 kilometers away from Vancouver, and the time was close to midnight, and the troops camped. However, after the Indian troops gathered, Nangong found that the eagle chief was missing, and a third of the men and horses were missing, and Nangong immediately asked. One of the Indian leaders who stayed behind reported that an Indian tribe had settled in eastern Vancouver, and the chief had sent someone to contact the tribe who had fled on the way. They say that a Canadian army ransacked the tribe and they desperately escaped from it. When the Eagle Chief heard this, he flew into a rage and went with a thousand men to take revenge.

When Nangong heard the urgency, he immediately went to the division headquarters. Feng Jingzhang was also taken aback when he heard this. Nangong looked at the map and said: "Division Commander Feng, the situation is very critical, according to the description of the Indians who escaped, there are more than 500 Canadian cavalry, and it is estimated that they are retreating east from Vancouver. The Indian tribes were in this position, and they retreated eastward only along the southern foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Brother, I decided to support the chieftain and give me a battalion to set off quickly. Feng Jingzhang waved his hand and ordered Nangong to attack quickly.

Two Indian guides and an interpreter were selected, and the Nangong detachment galloped east with a battalion of cavalry. Instead of heading for the Indian camp, they headed straight east with the aim of intercepting the Canadian cavalry. Nangong judged that after the Canadian cavalry sacked the Indians, they must have looted a lot of property, so the marching speed could not be too fast. In addition, the Canadian cavalry did not know that an expeditionary force cavalry was heading north, and they would think that there was no danger, so they had a good chance of intercepting the Canadian cavalry.

The Indian camp was littered with dead bodies, the flames were still burning, the elderly, children, and women were shot dead, and many Indians who were fighting the enemy were also killed. There were about 500 people in this Indian tribe, and only a few dozen escaped. The Canadians had been gone for almost a day, and the Eagle Chief decided to pursue to avenge the victims. Two days later, Nangong led his subordinates to unexpectedly appear behind the Canadian cavalry, when the eagle led his subordinates to fight the Canadian cavalry, and Nangong commanded his subordinates to immediately enter the battle.

The Eagle led his troops in pursuit, catching up with the Canadian cavalry in just one day and one night. At first, the Canadian cavalry thought it was an Imperial Expeditionary Force and fled in fright. But after running for a day, I found that something was wrong, the key was that the Indians' shooting skills were too poor, although they mastered the preliminary essentials, but in actual combat, the problems were exposed and the original form appeared. The Canadian cavalry were hunters, and they had great experience in fighting on horseback, and their marksmanship was very accurate. When the Canadians discovered that the group of men dressed in expeditionary force uniforms were Indians, they decided to go on a killing spree.

In this way, the eagle and his subordinates suffered a big loss only by virtue of bravery, and several fierce battles rushed to kill the eagle and folded hundreds of subordinates. But the eagle still bravely rushed to kill despite the large number of people. In this way, the Canadians ran and fought for a while, and did not let the Indians come up for hand-to-hand combat, slowly consuming the power of the eagle. Just when the two sides were entangled, the bigger the Canadian, the more convenient it was, Nangong led the troops to appear behind the Canadian. The battle did not need to be described, and with accurate shooting, the Canadian soldiers immediately collapsed and surrendered, knowing in their hearts that they had encountered a real expeditionary force.

When the Canadian cavalry dismounted and surrendered, the angry Indians suddenly rushed into the battlefield, seeing the Canadian soldiers being cut to the ground one after another, Nangong couldn't stop it. In less than an hour, the Canadian cavalry was slaughtered. The scene was very bloody, and Nangong, who had experienced a brutal battle, couldn't bear to witness it. Things have already happened, and Nangong has no choice. On the other hand, he saw the wildness of the Indians, when a meek population broke out with wildness, especially the vengeful wildness, which was cruel and terrifying. Nangong was worried that the Indians would launch brutal retaliation against the whites in the future. (To be continued......)
