Since the battle of Kuauchtmok three years ago, the turtledove has rarely intervened in the army's specific military operations.

That battle seemed like a big victory with fewer to more, but in fact, from the post-war review, there were many better ways.

Turtledove admits that he is not a military genius, but fortunately, since the formation of the army in the mountains of Madre, he has not fought any major defeats and losses.

From a small tribe with only seven or eight guns to today, step by step, all like dancing on the tip of a knife, how many ups and downs have been experienced, God knows!

Even if it is the Flash Butterfly operation, what he can do, and what he insists on, is to work out a general framework.

As for what to stuff in this frame, it was completely handed over to Fifteen Dollars, the Blood Wolf, the Water Wheel, the Beaver, and the Red Cloud.

There are more than 10 kinds of plans for Operation Flashing Butterfly, and each plan is divided into different small stages, specific to the tactical implementation level, whether it is Shulotel or Tonateu, or even the militia group of Red Cloud, it has been practiced many times.

However, when the war did start, it went in a direction that no one expected.

On January 13th, White Rock issued an order to begin Operation Flash, but on January 15th, it received the good news that the Blood Wolves had taken the Griffin Fortress without blood.

Fifteen dollars issued an order overnight for the Blood Wolf to quickly sweep away Western Oregon, and as soon as the order was sent away, another intelligence was received that an American army was advancing towards Griffin Fortress!

So fifteen dollars hurriedly sent an order for the blood wolf to hold on, hold this fortress, and wait for Red Cloud's reinforcements. While urging Red Cloud to change the direction of his actions, he rushed to the aid of Griffin Fortress.

The reason for the hasty change of Red Cloud's plan of action was that Fort Griffin was so important that mastering it would almost be equivalent to mastering Northwest Oregon (most of present-day Washington State).

As soon as this order was sent away, a new situation was received as soon as it was dawn. One bad news, one good news, and fifteen dollars untainable good or bad news.

The bad news is that the Griffin Fortress City is broken!

The good news is that Griffin Fortress is held!

The news that is difficult to judge is that the Blood Wolf and the British Army have formed an alliance again!

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Fifteen Dollars can't wait to go to Griffin Fortress to see what is going on. But as a priest of war, he couldn't always set his sights on a particular battlefield.

To the north, the Tonatyus Army is storming Whitefish, and there is no news yet.

……

Fifteen hurried into Turtledove's office with the war report in hand, and found Turtledove leaning against the window and spitting out clouds.

"Turtledove, haven't you quit smoking?" Fifteen dollars asked.

"Oh, wait until you're over the next moment—you've come just in time, what do you think about the war in Texas?" Turtledove asked.

"Texas?" Fifteen was stunned for a moment, collected the information in his mind, and replied: "The U.S. military has crossed the Rio Grande, and it is not yet known how Mexico will resist?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm not asking you this, how long do you think Mexico will last?" Turtledove asked.

Fifteen hesitated, then replied, frankly, "I don't know." ”

The turtledove was silent.

According to the scenario in memory, the U.S. military would basically sweep Oregon and California in 1846 to solve the problems in the north, and then in 1847 the north and south would attack Mexico City, capture Santa Ana again, and finally conclude the "Guadalupe-Indalgo Treaty", leaving a plagued Mexico that could never turn over, completing the last piece of the puzzle of the American Empire.

However, the situation is different from what I remember.

In Mexico in history, President Santa Ana fought at the front, and a large number of warlords and parliamentarians in the country were pulling back in the rear, and Santa Ana led the army to be captured as soon as he arrived at the front, just like 10 years ago. That time, Santa Anna's opponent was Sam Houston, and Santa Ana had just arrived at the front line, and after only 18 minutes of pinching her watch, she was surrounded and taken prisoner.

To say that there is no inner ghost is simply unreasonable.

Now, however, the ambitious Santa Ana occupies eastern Mexico, with the port of Veracruz as the center, colluding with a French fleet that can be attacked and defended.

Emperor Maximilian occupies Mexico City, controls the princes of all directions, and issues orders that are not in order.

From the west of Mexico, Jeronimo saw the Pacific Ocean and Sierra Madre, sometimes left and right, sometimes sideways and vertically.

Juárez has risen to prominence in southern Mexico, and is at odds with Peru and Argentina and other bolívars.

At this time, Mexico was scattered, and in addition to everyone shouting slogans, no one had a specific rule on how to resist the invasion of the US military.

The news that the turtledove got was already lagging behind, but even the news that had lagged behind still made the turtledove feel uneasy to sleep.

The Mexican-American War in history lasted for two years.

But if you look at it like this, I'm afraid it won't be over in two months?

"Well, what an eventful time—" said Turtledove with a sigh. "Do you have anything to do with me?"

……

Fifteen dollars sent the Blood Wolf's war report.

He said: "The blood wolf said in the letter that he has formed another alliance with the British army, and that he will wait for another day at most, and he will reflexively attack Livingston, and the watermill will attack north and south, and kill Fremont first!" ”

Turtledove looked at the map on the wall and pondered.

According to the prototype of the Butterfly Project, the Blood Wolves were required to further sweep California westward while holding the Griffin Fortress.

To put it simply, the Blood Wolf is responsible for the left wing of Flashing Butterfly, and the Waterwheel is responsible for Shining Butterfly's right wing. And the red cloud, as well as the headquarters of White Rock City, which may be used, will be the two tentacles of the Flash Butterfly.

The two main goals of the Butterfly Project are to clean up the Northwest and to get rid of Fremont.

The ultimate goal was to complete the deployment at Fort Bengt ahead of schedule and intercept the American expeditionary force on the Northern Front, thereby changing the situation on the main battlefield in Mexico.

Butterflies in the American Northwest flapped their wings to whip up hurricanes in Mexico, not just for an Oregon.

Strategically speaking, if Mexico can withstand it, Oregon will be safe. If Mexico can't stand it, Oregon will just be bouncing for two more days.

"In other words, the blood wolf wants to modify the Flash Butterfly plan, right?" Turtledove asked.

"Yes." Fifteen dollars said.

"What do you think?"

"Tactically speaking, it would be best if we could concentrate on Fremont. The opportunity is truly rare! "Fifteen dollars said.

"Blood wolf, this guy ......," Turtledove laughed. It would have been a good thing to finish the plan 5 days ahead of schedule. But all of a sudden, the previous plan had to be overturned and redone! ”

"The general trend is not going to change." Fifteen said, "Butterfly's goal is to deal with Fremont and clean up the Northwest, and it would be great if we could solve the former first." ”

"Then approve it! Let Red Cloud turn to Rand, not to be able to take down there, at least to involve the troops supported by Rand! Turtledove said decisively.

"Okay."

"Is there a report from Whitefish Town?"

"Not yet."

"Go and rush! Let the crescent moon no matter what, the flow of information must be kept open! ”

"Okay."

Fifteen dollars was a matter of words.

"What's wrong?" Turtledove asked.

"What do you think about the alliance with the British?" Fifteen dollars asked.

Turtledove waved his hand, "Knot, knot!" Make a Blood Pact! This time, if anyone wants to betray, they will be bitten to death by a thousand snakes! ”

……

There has always been a lot of resistance to such a thing as an alliance with whites.

The Indians' hatred of whites is more than just the little bit that the blood wolf encounters. The entire Indian Union, extreme anti-white forces, is also very marketable.

Fortunately, the prestige of the turtledove is unprecedented, and it is arbitrary and can be suppressed.

In this kind of thing, the blood wolf needs to make a choice between life and death, fifteen dollars needs to be balanced left and right, and the turtledove only needs to consider the victory or defeat.

As for a small person like Soap, it is just a small boat that carries sinking and floating under the will of the superiors.
