Chapter 421: Temporary Recruitment Office!

At this time, the "greatest hero" of the Mexican-American War, who led his troops deep into Mexican territory and fought bloody battles with the Mexican army in turns, killing countless enemies, was at this time under the orders of US President James Knox Polk, leading troops to garrison a stronghold in the disputed area of the United States and Mexico, while expanding the troops and waiting for the next order.

Historically, General Zachary Taylor's troops have always been at the forefront of the battle against the Mexican army, and even once invaded the Mexican hinterland, with more than 4,000 troops against the Mexican army of more than 20,000 people, and finally won the victory after two days of fighting.

If you want to get into as many fights as possible, following Zachary Taylor is undoubtedly the best option.

South of Fort Jessep, outside a U.S. stronghold in a disputed U.S.-Mexico area, soldiers and civilians are gathering at this time.

Two worn-out wooden tables from unknown sources were placed under a large tree at the end of the clearing, and in addition to the dozen or so soldiers who maintained order, two soldiers were sitting at the makeshift tables, asking the young civilians lined up in two rows across the table.

It was a temporary recruitment site.

At this time, the United States did not have such strict and standardized conscription regulations as later generations, and it was normal to recruit soldiers temporarily in wartime, and this was the case in all countries in the world at this time.

Among the civilians in the queue, there were two young men who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but they were very sturdy, and although they were only quietly lined up, there was a different aura on their bodies.

Their eyes are bright and sharp, and the eyes that inadvertently look at others are even more wild, extremely aggressive, giving people the feeling of tigers and wolves.

However, the two did not do anything out of the ordinary, but honestly stood at the back of a line after arriving, which made many candidates who were burly and powerful and squeezed other people's positions look at them with a hint of contempt in their eyes.

It turned out to be just two soft eggs with a terrifying and fierce appearance!

It is estimated that they are two young hunters who often wander the mountains and forests, with a wild nature, but they have little courage.

Although there were soldiers on the side to maintain order, no one came out to stop the able-bodied people from cutting into the queue.

The army is already chasing powerful soldiers, as long as it does not affect the progress of conscription, there are strong and strong people who take the positions of other weak people, and no one will pay attention to it, you can't keep your own position, and who can complain.

On the contrary, these people who have taken other people's positions will be looked down upon by other soldiers.

Seeing that the two people at the back of the line did not react to everyone's different looks, many people retracted their gazes in a boring manner, and originally wanted to watch a scene, but now it seems that they can't watch it.

These two fierce but very quiet teenagers are naturally Victor and James who are preparing to participate in the Mexican-American War, and they naturally feel the sight of everyone, but even if these people are strong and strong, they are just ordinary civilians, not to mention compared with the two, even compared with the armed personnel of the fur company who were slaughtered by the two, they are much worse, so the two of them don't bother to pay attention to these "weak people", Chen Mo told them about the imminent outbreak of the Mexican-American War, and the secret of their strength growth, so their goal is very clear, to join the army, fight to the fullest in the upcoming Mexican-American War, and hone their strength.

This is a real war, not a small fight with the fur company before, the two can let go of their hands and feet, fully exert their full strength, fight to their heart's content, and constantly improve their strength while enjoying the hearty battle process.

So at this time, the two of them had more expectations and desires for the upcoming big war, and some weak people who might die in the later battles at any time were not looked at by the two at all.

As a civilian in front of him was admitted or eliminated, and new arrivals continued to join the team, the two rows of teams slowly moved forward, but the number of people never decreased, and the sun in the sky gradually became poisonous.

At this time, the weather was sunny and cloudless, and the earth was gradually heating up under the strong sunlight, although it was only April, but the power of the sun was not much worse than that of summer, and everyone in their coats stood under the sun for a long time, and they all felt some heat.

The people in line were sweating from the sun, and many unbuttoned their clothes, pulling their clothes from time to time.

However, under the shade of the trees, the soldiers in charge of registration and the conscripts in the front rows were relatively cool and did not feel hot.

The surrounding soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order also found a shady place to hide from the scorching spring sun.

At this time, Victor and James happened to move under the shade of the tree.

In fact, the two of them don't mind the sun, the two of them have a lot of physical fitness beyond ordinary people, so their body temperature regulation ability is far beyond ordinary people, a little sunshine, just let the two feel a burst of warmth.

Just as everyone was slowly moving forward in line, two tall white strong men appeared in the distance and strode towards the temporary recruitment point, obviously also coming to enlist.

The two of them soon came to this clearing, but the two did not stand honestly at the end of the line to line up, but glanced at the two long lines of the row, and the people who were sweating on their heads, and finally fixed their eyes on the two figures under the shade of the trees, although strong, but obviously much shorter than the others.

The immature faces of Victor and James caught their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel contempt.

"These two little ones are pretty sturdy."

The strong man in a gray coat that was much newer than the others present gestured to Victor and James in the shade of the trees with his eyes, turned his head to his companion and smiled at his companions, with a thick mockery in his tone, obviously taking the two of them as targets.

"It's just two calves!"

Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then strode directly towards the front of the team.

The people who were queuing up and the soldiers guarding in the shade of the trees next to them also noticed the two people who were walking towards the front of the line with great momentum, and everyone couldn't help but show a look of interest on their faces, this time they didn't know who would be unlucky and robbed of their places, and whether the people who were robbed of their positions would honestly return to the back of the line and line up again like the previous ones.
