Turtledove looked at him suspiciously.

"Rebels? How many rebels are there? Where are they? ”

The frowned imperceptibly, even more dissatisfied with the young chief in front of him.

The young chief in front of him is not only a fool, but also lacks respect for the rebels in his words!

Still, proudly introduced him to the Resistance.

"The Resistance, an Indian army led by Mr. Victorio, is dedicated to driving the whites out of our homeland, retaking our land, and allowing all Indians to live a peaceful and beautiful life!"

"Since its founding, the rebels have fought hundreds of battles with whites, large and small, and have seized a large number of weapons and ammunition, and have become stronger and stronger. Now we have a force of more than three thousand people, from Sierra Madre to Sierra Occidental, with our friends and warriors everywhere, so that the whites do not dare to gain a foothold here! ”

"That's amazing!" The turtledove was amazed. "Mr. Victorio's name, I've heard it too. How is he lately? ”

"He's fine!" "Just before I came here," said the, "he led us and once again defeated the white attack and killed many whites!" ”

"Where is he now?"

"He's in the Sierra Madre, you know, it's huge, and no one knows exactly where he's hiding."

took a sip of water and continued, "Mr. Turtledove, we hope to have you join!" Although the rebels won victory after victory, the situation of the Indians became more and more difficult day by day. At this critical moment of survival, all Indians should unite, whether Sioux or Cheyenne, Apache or Comanche, should put aside their grudges against each other and join hands against the whites! ”

Of all the things that the have said, this one is the only one that makes the turtledove feel right.

"Of course, Mr.!" "I'm not one of those Apaches, I'd love to join the Resistance!" ”

"Good, good!" The stretched out their hands.

The turtledove also reached out and shook his hand.

"So, Mr. Titfuck, what should I do next?" Turtledove asked.

replied, "Not everyone in the Apache is a short-sighted fellow, and some of them are our faithful companions and allies. Mr. Ikaruga, would you rather be a sergeant or a sergeant in the Resistance? Or should a warrant officer be a good fit for you? ”

The turtledove was a little confused by this question. If you had a choice, a warrant officer, of course!

"Does it make a difference?"

"The higher the position, the greater the contribution!" "$100 for a sergeant, $500 for a sergeant, $1,000 if you're a warrant officer!" It can be converted into pesos, pounds and francs, but not rubles. ”

The turtledove was stunned.

"Uh...... I haven't figured it out yet," the turtledove scratched its head again, acting clumsy again.

"I suggest you become a warrant officer, so that you will have equal power with the Apache tribes down the mountain, and even in the near future, you will be able to join the Apache Alliance Council and be eligible to be a councillor!"

Turtledove thought for a moment and asked, "How much does it cost to be a corporal?" ”

"No, Mr. Ikaruga, you should be at least a sergeant!"

"No, no, no, my tribe has only established itself here, and I feel like I'm only worthy of being a corporal!"

"Mr. Ikaruga ......"

"Really, Mr., the position of corporal suits me very well, it's too big for me to do!"

The persuaded back and forth several times, but the turtledove resolutely resigned.

Originally, Ikaruga thought that he could get a military salary after joining the rebels, but not only did he not have a military salary, but he also had to pay money.

This rebel army is like child's play!

The method of selling officials and lords is unexpectedly self-taught.

In the future, who wants to say that the Indians are honest, Ikaruga is the first to believe it.

"Alright, Mr. Ikaruga!" The finally gave up helplessly. "From now on, you are the corporal of our rebels!"

The chickadee pulled a white feather out of his bosom, walked behind the turtledove, and tied it on the turtledove's head.

The turtledove touched the white feathers on the back of his head, and he always felt that he was still unsatisfied.

Is this a rebel?

Why is there no sense of ritual at all!

"You will be under the command of Chief Big Tree, Lieutenant of the Seventh Battalion of the Resistance!" The also said with some interest: "I hope you have a happy cooperation!" ”

"Good...... Good! Turtledove replied.

It seems that the in front of him is very unhappy with his performance.

According to his original level of enthusiasm, he should have originally wanted to incorporate himself into the Central Army, but now he changed his tune and assigned himself to a motley local army.

But turtledoves don't care about that.

said so much that it was clear from what he meant that the rebels were not having an easy time.

If the situation was really as good as he said, the rebels would not have been hiding in the mountains all the time, and even the leader Victorio would have to hide in a cave in the middle of nowhere.

In this way, four months after crossing into this world, the turtledove finally boarded the ship of the rebels. Although the ship was full of holes, there were no sails, and the mast had long since broken.

However, after all, it still floated in the stormy waves, giving a vague hope to the many lives trapped in the ocean.

This broken ship needs turtledoves.

Why don't turtledoves need it?

……

As soon as the left on its front foot, the turtledove couldn't wait to send someone on the hind foot, and he had to get in touch with the big tree lieutenant at once.

Winter is coming soon, and the sturdy young man of the tribe can still survive the autumn wind, and when winter comes, half of his tribe will freeze to death.

Diplomacy between the parrots and the Mescarero tribe did not bear any fruit.

Because the Mescalero tribe moved north again, it is said that the whites promised it a better piece of land. And also promised to give their tribe a grant of 3,000 dollars to help them survive the coming winter.

In order to get in touch with his immediate boss and only ally, the Big Tree Tribe, Turtledove also went to the Big Tree Tribe himself.

There he met Lieutenant Taiki.

It was a middle-aged man with bronzed cheeks, a beard with a full jaw that looked like a white man.

As soon as he saw the turtledove, the big tree gave the turtledove a heavy hug.

"I've been looking forward to you for a long time, Icargo!"

"I've been looking forward to you for a long time, Mr. Big Tree!"

The turtledove drank wine for the first time in the Big Tree Tribe. The liquid that is said to be a mixture of gasoline in horse urine.

Under Lieutenant Taiki's introduction, Turtledove once again gained a new understanding of the Apaches.

The Apache are not a unified tribe, they are simply a collective term for all the people who have ever lived in an area. Similar to the later India, it is a hodgepodge.

The Apache people are divided into several races, such as West Apache, Chirikawa, Mescarero, Gicarilla, Lipan and Plains Apacchi, and each race is divided into dozens of tribes, large and small.

Because of the pressing of the whites, the Apache formed a loose alliance, and within the alliance, in the style of the whites, dozens of councillors were elected, and the councillors discussed the affairs of the tribe.

It's just that after the discussion, everyone still goes their own way.

This time, for example, the San Angelo Accord required all Apache people to move to northern Utah, and God knows whose signature was on that agreement, and anyway, some have left and some have not.

Lieutenant Taiki, as a councillor, also signed on behalf of the tribe.

But, in Lieutenant Big Tree's own words, "Do you have to move if you sign it?" This is where my ancestors have lived for generations, so why should I go? ”

To be reasonable, Ikaruga originally thought that since you didn't want to move, then you shouldn't sign?

However, Lieutenant Taiki's next words finally explained the origin of the "San Angelo Agreement".

"I thought it was a white trade deal with us!" The big tree was drunk, like a stumbling woman who had been cheated out of her body and money.
