Chapter 22 Preemptively

Just after Victorio's funeral, the watermill left Fort Whitestone with the Tonatius Legion.

In the original plan, Ikaruga relied on the strategic location of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School to build a new fortress here to protect the future factories or farmlands at the foot of the mountain.

But after the arrival of the beavers, the significance of this fortress was greatly diminished.

In a way, the turtledove felt that the beaver had a point.

Instead of building a turtle shell to be beaten passively, it is better to take the lead while the white people have not yet reacted!

If you don't have a chance, then play a chance.

This proposal was overwhelmingly approved by the watermill!

On the spot, he took out a map that had already been prepared, and talked about his battle in an orderly manner.

"Irakordove, I've wanted to fight it for a long time! It's just that I haven't put up with it, after all, there are still a few ideas that are not very mature! But since you think so too, I'll tell you about it first! ”

"According to the intelligence provided by the crescent moon, east of the Missouri River, the U.S. military has a total of 30,000 troops! This number sounds huge, but scattered over almost three million square kilometers of land, in fact, the forces are quite weak and scattered! ”

"There are two of the most powerful of them, one in Denver in the south and one in Oregon in the west!"

"The strength of the Denver Legion is unknown, it is like a black hole, not only our spies can't get in, but it is said that even the Americans' own intelligence can't get in! That's the first thing I'm worried about, when I start moving, it's better that the south has the strength to pull it and keep it from going north! ”

"That army in Oregon, under the command of John Fremont, is now the well-deserved 'father of the Great Northwest', in addition to having a legion of several thousand people directly in his hands, almost all the Indian tribes in the Northwest have openly declared their support for him!"

"Ikaruga, when I move, can you stabilize these two forces for me!"

"It won't take too long, at most a month, and I will be able to bring the troops back!"

Speaking of fighting, the watermill suddenly became eyebrows fluttering.

In his mouth, he didn't pay attention to the American troops scattered on the Northwest Plains, let alone the Indian servants.

The turtle dove was still thinking, but the beaver opened his mouth first:

"The Denver Legion in the south won't go north!"

The turtledove looked at him suspiciously, "Are you sure?" ”

"Definitely!" Beaver said: "Last year, when Fury Wind led his army to break through in the direction of Denver, he encountered a sniper from the Denver Legion! After defeating Furywind, they turned around and returned to Denver without any account to the El Paso Legion to the south or Fremont! I suspect — no, I'm sure there's a secret in Denver—"

"Gold Mine!" Turtledove blurted out!

He hadn't thought in this direction before, but now after the beaver mentioned it, he suddenly thought of the famous basketball team!

Nuggets!

Now Denver is still a coal mine with low production.

But in the world two hundred years later, this is where Newmont, the world's number one gold company, is headquartered!

If history is not changed, when the Civil War is over, Denver, a small and broken place, will have a special agency for the American Federation to inspect gold!

The famous Denver Mint mints more than five million dollars in gold coins a year!

When it comes to the size of the gold mines, Denver is much, much better than here in Bear Valley on the Bulak Hills.

If the turtledove just wants to make a fortune, he can now wave his army south and rob a Denver, which is much more rewarding than Jerónimo working in Mexico for half a year!

"That's right, it's supposed to be a gold mine!" The beaver echoed in. "It must be a gold mine!"

The two glanced at each other and sympathized with each other.

However, Turtledove relied on himself as a traverser and knew that there was a gold mine in Denver.

Beavers, on the other hand, rely entirely on various clues to make their own judgments.

Among them, only the turtledove itself is clear.

……

"Fremont, Oregon, it would be great if we could keep him there!" The watermill said.

On the map, it's more than 1,500 kilometers in a straight line from Seattle in Oregon to Mount Brack!

With such a long span, the turtledove does not see it as a threat.

But since the watermill said so, there must be a reason for it.

Turtledoves have always respected the judgment of the waterwheel.

Since last year's battle at the foot of Mount Madre, the watermill stood out, and his military qualities have completely conquered the turtledove!

Unlike fifteen dollars or Geronimo and other wild tricks, the watermill was a military talent who had been specially trained by Anderson's side.

He may not be able to see the various treacherous movements within the tribe clearly, but with a military map, the watermill can defeat everyone in the tribe!

Ikaruga had now handed over the Tonatiu Legion to him with complete confidence.

In other words, when it comes to fighting a war, if you can't do something that a watermill can't do, it will only be worse if you replace it with a turtledove!

Turtledoves are self-aware.

In terms of fighting, he was inferior to a waterwheel, inferior to fifteen dollars, and even he doubted that even Geronimo could now hang him up and fight;

In terms of organizing manpower and allocating logistics, he is not as good as fifteen dollars, not as good as Loczen, and even the parrot is estimated to be better than him now;

In terms of strategy, cough cough, turtledove thinks that he should still be able to, right?

In my previous life, I saw that there were many seniors who were always busy with their feet since they crossed over.

It's running the laboratory again, running the factory again, adjusting the disputes of his subordinates, spitting with the iron-headed baby, leading the troops to fight, and going to various occasions to shake the tiger's body, and having to engage in love in his busy time......

But when he got to the turtledove, he felt as if he were ...... It's a little painful to be idle from time to time!

Although life and death are at stake every day, he just can't find the right thing to do.

He'd set up a lab before, but he hadn't been there since the lab blew up once.

There is also an ironworks in the woods of the Sierra Madre, and he has an office in the factory, and the most he does is to tell people: "Give me a good job!" ”

Now that the war is imminent, the watermill is said to be elated and his eyebrows are dancing.

But the only thing the turtledove could do was to take a small flag and stick it in the map according to the waterwheel—once he made a mistake and was glared at by the waterwheel!

……

"Turtledove, Fremont handed it over to you, is it okay?" The beaver looked at the turtledove and asked.

Turtledove held his chin and stared intently at the northwest corner of the map, the place called Oregon.

He didn't speak.

It wasn't that he didn't hear that the beaver was teasing him.

But there are many things that beavers, no matter how clever they are, are impossible to think of.

——CTMD! Oregon, too, has gold mines!
