Since Oglara is reluctant to come, the turtledove can only pass.

War is not necessarily war, but in the process of negotiation, it is inevitable that you need to show your strength.

Otherwise, why should O'Gerara talk to you?

It was not very difficult to mine that gold mine, and Oglara could organize a manpower to mine it if he had some ability.

And, to put it mildly, even if Oglala himself does not want to mine, it is the same to sell it to whites.

Anyway, as a landlord, it can make money no matter what.

This time, the turtledove plans to bring a hundred people over, and at least Oglala needs to understand that his crossing dragon is very capable of biting this piece of meat on its one-third of an acre of land.

Such negotiations are not expected to be too friendly, but there is no way to do it.

However, in the long run, sooner or later the old Oglara will die, and sooner or later the red cloud will take over. Getting the favor of Red Cloud is much more important than getting the favor of Oglala.

The bottom line of the so-called devil, in fact, in the final analysis, is just a trade-off of interests. Instead of letting Hongyun feel guilty of 'killing his father' and thus affecting future cooperation, it is better to take a step back now and invest in the future.

- Turtledove convinces himself like this in his heart!

This is a war without the smoke of gunpowder!

There are no enemies, but there are enemies on all sides, including yourself.

You carefully weigh and trade-off, and despite the countless pre-measures, you often end up with an unexpected outcome.

Some call this art of war 'deal, compromise and deception,' and Ikaruga doesn't think he's a good one.

Because he is often swayed by his own conscience.

……

The watermill gathered a hundred or so men of the Tonathius Legion, who were about as tall and short, and prepared to set off.

On the road leading to the foot of the mountain, a new gate was rebuilt. The original tall statue of the Virgin was dismantled and made the cornerstone of the gate.

This gives the door a pure white appearance.

So, after the turtledoves occupied the Carlisle Industrial School, the soldiers found the original name long and ugly, and gave it a new name, 'White Rock Fort'.

When the gates of the White Rock Fort were opened, the watermill was surprised to find a skeletal traveler standing outside.

He led a lean, equally slender horse, barefoot on the ground, his calves supporting his body like dead branches.

He had mottled scars on his face, and it was no longer possible to tell if they were knife wounds, gunshot wounds, or chilblains.

There was only one pair of eyes, and when the watermill looked at him, it stared at him like a fire.

"You are?" The watermill asked curiously.

White Rock Fort is not yet open to the public, so it is strange for the watermill to have travelers coming.

Even if a city were to be built here in the future, it would be at least a few months away, so why did people come here so quickly?

"Beaver." The strange traveler replied in a hoarse voice.

The watermill recalled that he knew at least three 'beavers', but none of them looked like the traveler in front of him.

"Who are you looking for?" The watermill asked.

"Turtledove!"

"Are you looking for turtledoves?" The watermill was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What are you looking for him for?" ”

"Go and tell him, and say the beaver is here. As for whether he sees me or not, look at his own. The traveler said softly.

The watermill hesitated for a moment, and motioned for one of his soldiers to go back and report it.

The watermill was close to him.

"Where are you from?" The watermill asked.

"California!"

"Oh, that's close to the sea! That's a long way to go! ”

"Hmm."

"How come I've never seen you before? I've never heard of your name either. The watermill said.

"I've heard your name, Watermill." Beaver said.

"Huh? Have you heard of me? ”

"Hmm. Now who doesn't know that under Turtledove, there are three major legions. Loyal and impregnable as a mountain, Tonatiu is the strongest shield of the turtledove; Shulotel is not moving, and if it moves, it is like a raging wave, and it is a hammer that can smash everything in the hands of a turtledove; There is also a Tescatlipoca that is wreaking havoc across the territory of Mexico, like entering a no-man's land, and it is a sword that the turtledove himself cannot control! ”

"Do even the Sioux know about it?" The watermill asked curiously.

"I'm not Sioux!" The beaver said, "I'm a Chihunt!" ”

……

At that moment, the turtledove came out of the castle.

He walked up to the beaver, and both of them looked at each other.

"Long time no see, beaver!"

"Hmm."

"Where have you been since last year's farewell? How did it become like this? Turtledove asked.

"Don't you invite me in? Turtle dove. ”

The turtledove moved out of the way and motioned for the beaver to come in first.

"You're not here by chance, you see, I'm about to take someone out."

"To go to war?"

"I don't know," said the turtledove, "to negotiate!" Maybe it will fight, maybe it won't, you know, it's not up to me. ”

"With your temper, you're definitely going to fight." Beaver said: "I used to read a strange book with Scott that said: The best is to fight with stratagem, the second is to fight with diplomacy, and the worst is to fight with soldiers. Do you think this makes sense? ”

"Makes sense! It makes so much sense! The turtledove laughed and cried.

No one else understood what he was laughing at.

Only the turtledove himself knows that this passage of the beaver is most likely a sentence in "The Art of War": "Go to the army to plot, then to attack the enemy, then to attack the army, and then to attack the city!" ”

If it weren't for the turtle dove who knew the roots of the beaver, he would have almost grabbed the beaver's hand and called him 'fellow'.

"Very well, turtledove. If you believe me, I'll tell you how to make a cut! Beaver said.

"Please!"

The turtledove was overjoyed, waved his hand at the waterwheel, and signaled to collect the troops first.

Then he personally took the beaver back inside the school.

The beaver is the first and perhaps the only truly intelligent person that the turtledove has ever seen.

From the moment he was able to mix well under Scott's men, and was able to quietly deliver supplies to Victorio in a desperate situation.

And the turtledove later got acquainted with Scott a little bit, only to know that even he was almost sold by the beaver in the first place.

It's just that such a person would rather follow Victorio all the way to the dark than go to the turtledove.

Just last year, when the turtledove led his troops out of the mountain, the beaver saw that the turtledove was unwilling to rescue Victorio, so he left without hesitation. Turtledove didn't know where he had gone.

He thought that the beaver was dead, but he didn't expect to see the old man in the Burak Mountains thousands of miles away today.

"Say, beaver, how am I going to cut it?" The turtledove led the beaver to his office and asked.

"The first step is to admit your mistakes!" The beaver said in a hoarse voice.

Ever since he entered the White Rock Castle, he had not answered it, even though the turtledove had given him several waters.

Now he also had a slow water glass in his hand, and he didn't see it, and he didn't touch it.

"Turtledove, Victorio is dead! Do you know where you're wrong? ”

Beaver asked, expressionless.
