Chapter 110: The Western Front, War and Peace

During the time that Ikaruga was not in White Rock City, Fifteen Dollars brazenly launched a 'war' on the Western Front.

As a war sacrifice, he has the authority to wage war.

But he started this war not because he wanted to start a war, but because the Indians gathered under White Rock City, they needed a war.

Hundreds of thousands of people were gathered there, and fifteen dollars really couldn't think of anything to do with them other than war.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

In the beginning, these people were enthusiastic about the construction of the city, and they also visited the factory with great interest, and some of them came up with many creative ideas, which greatly improved the production efficiency of the factory.

But it didn't take long for their enthusiasm to run out.

Crime, disease, gangs, robberies, troubles, rumors...... All sorts of problems came up.

The turtledove was fine when he was there, and as soon as the turtledove walked on its front feet, the crowd began to rise on its own, just like the students who heard the bell for the end of class.

Even if the cattle have exhausted the harsh punishment, it is still difficult to stop the clamor of these people - they keep saying that they have their blood to resist foreign humiliation, but they did not expect to die under the guns of their own people first!

Some people have suggested that they should follow the example of white men in parliament;

It has been suggested that steel mills should wash coal with water;

It was suggested that all the corn fields should be uprooted and replaced with mulberry;

It was even suggested that the turtledove should ascend to the throne first.

- This is a bunch of gangsters with no organization and no discipline!

He may not know who Darwin is and who is Kelvin, but they are absolutely convinced that five hundred Darwins combined will not be able to beat them, and will not accept any rebuttal.

At this time, fifteen dollars, beavers, sitting cows, Sekoya and others couldn't help but sigh again, the white stone city with turtle doves and the white stone city without turtle doves are simply worlds apart!

……

The war began on the west bank of the Yellowstone River.

Fifteen led a group of men and horses across the Yellowstone River and besieged a white squad in a jungle.

The Indian militiamen, who were not too big to watch, set fire to this small jungle and announced the beginning of the war.

It wasn't until the large number of men and horses traveled more than a hundred miles west that the intelligence gathered, and it turned out that the white team was not Fremont's men and horses at all.

Whose is that for?

It wasn't until the next day, fifteen dollars, that I found out that it was a British army!

Fifteen dollars shocked!

The entire White Rock City, including Fifteen Dollars himself, did not expect that the British army would break through to the vicinity of the Yellowstone River!

……

In the original history, the entire northwestern part of North America belonged to the royal family of Rupert of the British Empire, and Prince Rupert established a Northwest Company here to govern the entire northwestern North America, alongside the famous East India Company and Hudson's Bay Company.

It's just that because the Northwest Company and the Hudson's Bay Company are too close to each other, the so-called one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and the two sides fight for business, and they meet each other every year.

It wasn't until the thirteen states of North America became independent, and then Canada also announced the establishment of the state, that the British Empire suddenly woke up, and its own brothers called back and forth, and finally let others pick up the cheap!

It's just that this awakening is too late, the wood is already in the boat, and I can't catch it, and I don't want to throw it away......

Eventually, the Hudson's Bay Company merged with the Northwest Company, merging the two failed companies into one, implementing the principle of 'offshore balancing', and continuing to stir up trouble on the North American continent.

Decades later, until 1843, the British Empire's Hudson's Bay Company nominally owned a vast area west of Rocky Mountains, between 42 and 54 degrees north latitude.

However, with Fremont's westward advance, the British Empire's last territory on the American continent was in jeopardy.

Two years later, on the eve of the start of the Mexican-American War, U.S. Secretary of State Buchanan decided to reach the Oregon Agreement with Britain at 49 degrees north latitude, with Britain in the north and the United States in the south.

Britain rejoiced, thinking that it had taken advantage, although the nominal territory had shrunk by half, but the United States no longer fought with itself, and it had a real territory!

The United States is also very happy that this large piece of land, which he collectively called the 'Oregon region', which is not capable of being beaten by it, belongs to the disputed territory that he created, and now he has taken half of it in a down-to-earth manner and has taken it into his pocket.

More importantly, in the upcoming US-Mexico War, the United States has also completely solved its worries and formed a four-sided encirclement of Mexico.

With such a successful experience, in the following 200 years of history, we relied on such a simple routine of 'creating a big dispute, and then taking a small step back to resolve the dispute', copied the experience step by step, and finally walked to the top of the world.

It is generally believed that the Mexican-American War began in 1846.

But in fact, the Mexican-American War began in 1804 when Lewis and Clark's expeditionary force entered the Rocky Mountains, completed a survey of the Northwest and submitted the report to President Jefferson's desk.

The Northwest where birds don't poop was unattractive to President Jefferson at the time, and Mexico in the south is sunny, with many rivers, a warm climate, rich in silver, iron ore, and large tracts of fertile soil, which is the most fascinating place!

Since then, generation after generation of U.S. presidents have worked hard to move westward.

In the hands of James Knox Polk, the 11th president of the United States, he annexed Mexico in one fell swoop, and his territory traversed North America, and finally became a hegemon!

The great victory of the Mexican-American War is of course due to the fact that the United States is strong and Mexico is weak, but to tell the truth, the United States has laid out half a century in advance, so why should it lose to a fragmented Mexico where today's president doesn't know where to sleep tomorrow night?

……

Long before Turtledove came to White Rock City, he told Fifteen Dollar and the others about the situation in the northwestern part of the Americas.

He even predicted in no uncertain terms that two years later, there would be a big war in the south.

But when this small British army appeared in front of Fifteen, Fifteen was keenly aware that the situation seemed to have changed!

British troops did not completely withdraw from Oregon.

Fremont wasn't as strong as he thought - or rather, his forces were mostly pinned down by the British army, and it was impossible for him to go all out against White Rock!

To test his suspicions, Fifteen sent an army of 3,000 men to the Snake River to build a bridgehead.

The next day, he received the bad news that his army of 3,000 men had been wiped out near Shoshone Falls.

Only two horses escaped!

His guess was right, and Fremont really couldn't go all out against him.

But even Fremont, who had only one hand free, was enough to beat him all over the ground!

So, the steaming army of the Western Expedition came and went.

……

Whenever Fifteen led the army back, there was always a white army staring at him.

But every time Fifteen stopped and prepared for battle, the white army would quickly flee again.

Just as Fifteen Dollars wanted to bleed his enemies through one small war after another, Fremont thought so.

For Fremont, such a battle situation was in his favor. Industrial civilizations were far more resilient than agricultural and tribal civilizations, and Commodore John Slote brought him fresh supplies every three months.

It was also a punch, and the young and strong Fremont slept and woke up alive in the morning, but what about the old and weak Sioux? How many punches did you get? How many cc of blood were drawn?

The battle line was tugging back and forth over a vast area from the west bank of the Yellowstone River to the east bank of the Snake River, advancing and retreating...... No one in White Rock City knew whether the battle ahead was a loss or a win.

Or is winning or losing like the sun rising and setting, and the never-ending war on the Great Plains is the most normal thing, right?

It's just that east of the Huangshi River, time flies, and the world is peaceful!
