Frankly speaking, in the 19th century, when the United States was thriving, there were presidents who were more or less honest.

Someone like Zachary Taylor, who is willing to take root on the U.S.-Mexico border for nearly a decade and pave the way for his presidency with real groundbreaking achievements, deserves to be the 12th president of the United States.

It was only after the end of the 20th century that the president of the United States really became an actor.

At first, capital only made power like making products, but as the profits of power manufacturing diminished, it had to begin to explore another technique that it had once abandoned, and that was the use of power—and that is for another time.

At Maximilian's funeral, Zachary Taylor was supported by Winfield Scott.

And Winfield-Scott's request is simply negligible, he just wants to change the procurement suppliers for the Department of Defense.

……

Time flies, and it's May 10 in a blink of an eye.

In a makeshift hospital in Alamosa, the watermill was wrapped like a mummy, lying quietly on the bed.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, then the footsteps slowed down and slowly came to his bed.

"Who is it?" The watermill fumbled and tried to sit up.

A pair of hands pressed his arms and made him lie back.

The watermill didn't struggle, just lay quietly like that.

After a long time, I heard him speak, "Turtledove, am I going blind in my eyes?" ”

He felt a body sit beside him, and the bed board sank noticeably.

"I asked the doctor, and I am sure that I will not be blind, but I am afraid that one eye will really not be saved!"

Sure enough, it's a turtledove!

The waterwheel's head moved, "So, there's still an eye that can be saved, right?" ”

"Of course!" Ikadove said, "It's just that I might have to bring glasses in the future!" ”

"Oh." The watermill sighed with some disappointment.

With the glasses on, it's obvious that your movements will be affected, and you won't be able to charge forward as before.

Tonatiu ...... Isn't it going to be handed over?

"I wonder if the bespectacled Commander of the Tonatiu Army will still be as brave as before?" Turtledove said.

"Fart!" Two words burst out of the waterwheel from the bandage, saying: "The Tonatiu Legion in the future will only be more courageous than before!" ”

"Haha! Come to think of it! The turtledove laughed. Since the formation of the Tornatyiu army, the strength has become stronger and stronger, and the results have become more brilliant every time - presumably next time, you are afraid that you will rush directly to Zachary Taylor's formation, cut off his head and send it back to me! ”

"Hahaha!" The watermill also laughed wrinkled, "What a Zachary Taylor is!" Give it a chance, Lao Tzu will take the Tonatius Army and wash the White House into a red house! ”

"There will be a chance!" Turtledove said with a smile.

"Then I'll wait!"

"You've got to take care of your injuries!"

"Don't worry, turtledove!" The watermill said, "I know my own situation! It's just a shotshot from a shotgun, and the bones aren't broken - it's not a loss for Sam Houston's dog's life! ”

"You're a little bolder—"

It was only then that the turtledove's tone became reproachful: "-Sam Houston is hiding in the Sanderson barracks, how dare you rush in with dozens of people!" ”

"Haha!" The watermill laughed for a while, took a breath, and then said, "I'm not a blood wolf, I don't have as much luck as him, and I don't have as many twists and turns in his mind - I can't think of any other solution to the situation at that time!" ”

Under the intermittent narration of the waterwheel, a simple and crude but dangerous 'Battle of Texas' slowly emerges as it is.

……

The Texas Republican Army inherited the fine tradition of the Union Army, and with sufficient ammunition, it was able to fight the Alamo Army at first.

But three days later, the ammunition ran out and morale plummeted.

Although the Indian army is said to have appeared behind the Alamo Legion, it is still unable to reverse the decline of the Republican Army.

The Indian Legion was also not strong, and instead of attacking the back of the Alamo Legion at this time, they took the opportunity to sack Austin.

When the news came, it made public opinion in Houston in an uproar!

It's also thanks to Lamar's good mouth that he can maintain the Republican Army even though the soldiers continue to flee.

- The elite of the Tonatiu Legion led by the watermill came to Texas at this time!

When he arrived, he found that the situation had eroded to the point of almost no return:

On the one hand, the Alamo Legion has already invaded Houston, and it is only about to occupy the Capitol and capture Lamar alive;

On the other hand, the tribal legions led by Yannan and Yanba are still looting everywhere in Texas, thinking that they have gained a lot, and they don't take the imminent fall of Texas to heart.

】

To add insult to injury, the remaining American troops defending Sanderson, under the command of a captain named Ulysses Grant, were not far behind the butts of Smokeman and Salt.

Along the way, Smokeman and Salt collect their belongings, while Grant collects the runaways......

The army of Smoke Man's Salt was dwindling day by day without them even noticing, and the number of soldiers led by Grant was increasing.

By the afternoon of the arrival of the watermill in Texas, information was received that Grant's army of 2,000 men had amassed and was rapidly increasing at a rate of about 300 per day.

As long as you wait a few more days, the numerical advantage of Yannan and Yanba's army will be lost.

According to the original plan, the watermill needed to go to the army of Yannan and Yanba as soon as possible, take over the command of the army, and start deploying the battle again.

But in the current situation, even with the command of the watermill, that Indian tribal army is still no match for Ulysses-Grant?

The watermill didn't think too much about it, he wasn't the kind of blood wolf who weighed left and right and then moved.

Over the years, he has always been simple and rude, and, as the Tonatiu Legion has become better and better equipped, he has behaved more and more simply and crudely.

That same night, he led dozens of his elite soldiers of the Tornatyan Regiment and rushed directly into the Sanderson barracks!

relied on those dozens of elites to find Sam Houston in the barracks where only about 100 people remained.

- The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, and I didn't even give a chance to speak!
