Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Use of Soldiers

The Indians are coming!

They landed in Austin on a Rio Grande ship, down the Colorado River, and directly in Austin!

By this time, the Alamo Corps had crossed the Colorado River and was preparing to attack Houston to the east.

This is a good opportunity to attack the Alamo Legion from behind, and with a little cooperation from Houston to the east, the Alamo Legion will be quickly routed from east to west - everyone thinks this Indian army will do that!

Because anyone with a little military education knows how comfortable it is to stab a knife in the back. This kind of thing is a two-sided attack that everyone who has fought a war dreams of.

And this Indian army came so suddenly, the Alamo Legion was simply defenseless. Stephen Austin, who temporarily rushed to Austin City yesterday to preside over the overall situation, was so anxious that he couldn't worry about his own safety, and sent fast horses in the direction of the Alamo Legion one after another, hoping to save the situation.

However, at the head of this Indian army were Yannan and Yanba.

One is a farmer who has been farming all his life, and the other is a fisherman who has been fishing all his life. (***Note***)

The peasants and fishermen all together decided that it was still too dangerous to attack the Alamo Legion to the east, or that it was safer to move west closer to the Madre Forest—this inexplicable sense of security was entirely a two-legged brain supplement, like an ostrich that likes to plunge its head into the sand when it is in danger. In fact, this operation took almost all of the tribe's young men, and even if they were in danger, it was impossible for the mountain tribe to provide them with any support.

As for the deal with David Scott, Smokeman and Yanba didn't pay attention to it at all. After dealing with David Scott for three years, the spirit of contract is used to deceive ghosts, everyone knows.

If you can't loot Houston, it's good to loot Austin.

So they plundered Austin first!

……

April 15, afternoon.

White Rock City.

Turtledove had just finished a wartime economic conference, and when he returned to the office, he felt a little dizzy.

The development of the Indian Union to the present is no longer the time when it can be perfunctory in the past by relying on extensive management.

Economics is a science, a complex involving almost all disciplines such as mathematics, psychology, philosophy, technology, and so on.

If in the past it was possible to create and allocate resources in terms such as 'try to ......', 'strive to achieve ......', and '...... more', now it is necessary to manage the economy with quantitative, logical solutions.

The pile of numbers and calculations made the turtledove feel extremely tired.

Fortunately, the Indians are not scientific deserts. Maybe it was, but in the last three years, there has been a huge exodus of talented people who have worked hard to translate the natural sciences of white people, and they have also worked hard to translate the social sciences of white people.

Last month, the Ministry of Economy finally became independent from the role of war priest and became a professional, specialized governing body. The vast majority of them have moved from translation work.

The level was not enough, and after some calculations, we finally completed the induction and planning of the Indian economic system at the end of the spring.

After being reviewed by the turtledove, the next step is to carry it out step by step. In the process of implementation, there will definitely be changes, and when the time comes, as long as it does not involve the fundamentals, it is the Ministry of Economic Affairs' own business.

There is a very clever little detail, after Sequoia's repeated improvements, the Indians pronounce numbers with monosyllables, so Turtledove popularized the multiplication formula table for them, which greatly improved the efficiency of arithmetic.

……

"Any news of the Blood Wolf?" Ikaruga returned to the office and sat down in a chair.

There was a soft cushion on the chair, which had been specially sent by Roczen from the south. The best raccoon skin is covered with a layer of red knitted wool, and a green flower is woven on the wool thread, and there is a crooked line of words under the flower, called "longevity and longevity"!

Peso stood up from his position next to him. "Not yet!"

"He crossed the Missouri River the day before yesterday, right?" Turtledove asked.

"Yes." Peso replied, "He hasn't been heard from since he crossed the Missouri River." ”

"I'm not too worried about him, and the blood wolf is more reassuring to me." Turtledove said: "Among our group of senior generals, when it comes to this kind of ability to run thousands of miles, there is no one more suitable than him!" ”

"Yes, he's won the most battles." Peso echoed.

Just last week, Turtledove finally made up his mind: to use troops abroad!

Now is a good time to use soldiers.

From the outside, the United States is still in a state of embarrassment where gold imports have almost completely stopped, and Washington and New York are struggling to cope with the economic crisis and partisanship.

The more important reason is internal, after the return of Denver, the Indians are high, and from top to bottom they are calling for a war that can breathe a bad breath.

In addition, after the extermination of Fremont, a large number of weapons and ammunition were harvested, and the strength of the Indian army suddenly skyrocketed.

I have sharpened a sword for three years, but the frost blade has never been tried!

Who has a grievance today?

If we can win a victory at this time, the large new land that has just been recovered in the west will be stabilized, and the people's hearts will be decided.

After being sure, you can be safe, you can be safe, and then you can get it!

In this way, the Indian Union can be regarded as laying a deep pile, understanding the will, laying the foundation, and clarifying the direction!

White Rock City drew its sword and looked around, and Mexico to the south still didn't see a chance until this point. No matter how much the turtledove wants to get involved, Mexico is really pulling its crotch, and maybe by the time the turtledove's army arrives, even Mexico City will have fallen. Nine times out of ten, we will have to face the US-Mexico coalition, and that will be the worst-case scenario!

So, Stephen Carney, who was still in Fort Bent at this time, became the best litmus test!

In this battle, it is naturally best to win.

But even a small setback does not matter, after all, it is the first knife that the Indians have swung against the American Federation since the Union.

It was not the United States that was cut, it was the shackles on the hearts of the Indians.

It's not the United States, it's 2 million square kilometers of land, 400,000 frightened Indians!

"Then wait patiently for news!" Turtledove lay down in a chair and said tiredly.

"You go and tell little Andre to continue to maintain peace talks with Stephen Carney, and it doesn't hurt to make some concessions when necessary, anyway, sooner or later you will get it back!"

……

After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Turtledove retrieved the red cover file from the desktop and opened it.

It was a confidential letter from Roczen, and it was written 'Turtledove himself', so the Secretariat did not open it.

Turtledove took out a piece of pink letter folded into a paper kite from the envelope, and the scent of roses came to her nose.

"Luo Czen, after all, it's still a girl!"

Ikaruga smiled as she opened the letter.
