At the mention of the cannon, the drowsy Danny suddenly came to his senses.

"Yes! Some! It's in the storeroom, brand new, I'll tell you, the cannon."

Just as the old artilleryman Danny was full of energy and wanted to start chatting with Chen Jianqiu about the cannon, Sean interjected coldly:

"Mayor and his cadets are dragged out to the range every three days to fire a few shots."

Danny was anxious when he heard this, and glanced at the black man:

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!"

Then he turned his head and said to Chen Jianqiu with a grin:

"Since the night school has opened this course, it has to be theoretically coupled with practice, and artillery is not something that can be practiced in a day or two."

Beginning the year before, Roswell's night school opened an artillery course, and the first batch of cadets numbered about two hundred.

For this reason, Danny also specially greeted the state, saying that it was to train artillery talents for the militia team.

In case the Mexican side hits, you can be in position at any time to counterattack.

Although Chen Jianqiu himself didn't believe in this reason, the state also turned a blind eye.

Doesn't the Texas militia next door also have artillery? From time to time, two artillery shots were also fired at the federal troops who crossed the border.

Chen Jianqiu waved his hand and replied with a smile: "As long as the cannon is easy to use, I was busy some time ago, and I didn't have time to look at those cannons, how about it, the effect is okay, right?" ”

"Hey, the Germans are real this time, and they are giving good goods." Danny gave a thumbs up and began to introduce the cannons to Chen Jianqiu.

A total of 12 guns were shipped from Germany, all of which were Krupp Type 80 75mm caliber field guns, with a maximum firing range of six kilometers.

The Krupp military factory also thoughtfully equipped these cannons with different types of ammunition such as submunitions and flowering shells.

The cannons were shipped directly from the port of Hamburg, crossed the Elbe into the Atlantic, reached ports in Mexico, and were transported by rail to Roswell.

"You and your students will continue to practice in the past few months, and the cannonball tube is enough, and when the time comes, I will ask the Santa Fe Railway Company to arrange a special train to transport you."

"Uncle Danian, please leave the matter of selecting soldiers to you, more than 1,000 people on your side will be the main force at that time, you and Ah Jiu will bring it with you, and the second batch of artillerymen will come over."

Chen Jianqiu was referring to the PTJ general they met in Chile with a horn pinned to his waist, and now he has also come to the United States.

Zhang Danian and he both clasped their fists and took their lives.

"If we are all in the second batch, who is the first batch?" Xu Ajiu was used to being a pioneer, and asked a little unwillingly.

"Li Sifu." Chen Jianqiu said with a smile, "There is also his cavalry, he will lead the team when the time comes!"

Li Sifu, who was standing on the side, heard his name called, and suddenly a spirit stirred:

"Huh? I'm taking the lead, huh? ”

After all, this was the first time he had led a team on such an important mission alone.

"Can't you?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at Li Sifu, "Didn't your two hundred cavalry fight very well in Chile?" If it doesn't work, I'll let your ninth brother lead the team. ”

"No, no, no, I'm absolutely fine, I promise to complete the task!" Li Sifu stood up straight, "We will step up training in the next two months." ”

"Do you know what you're going to be practicing for the past two months?" Chen Jianqiu held his chin and stared at Li Sifu.

"Shoot now! Charge and slash! formation, and "Li Sifu looked a little nervous.

Chen Jianqiu shook his head:

"No, what you have to practice is to drive boundary posts."

"The first thing you will do when you arrive is to knock down the stakes for me and declare your sovereignty!"

Li Sifu suddenly realized and took the order.

Chen Jianqiu continued to assign the remaining tasks.

"Wyatt, you and your Border Detective Agency keep a watchful eye on the borders of the Oklahoma Open Zone, and let me know as soon as there is any movement."

"Third Uncle Niu, you lead people to organize the follow-up unarmed personnel, and if you want to go to a new place to develop, register it."

"Is it just Chinese?" Niu San asked.

"Not necessarily, a lot of Roswell's white and Mexican-American brothers are assimilated very well now, and I saw that people were already eating with chopsticks that day, and if they were willing to follow along, that's fine." Chen Jianqiu said.

"Lawyer Dylan, this time of business affairs will trouble you and the center."

After arranging various tasks, everyone gradually dispersed, and only Chen Jianqiu, Flying Bird and Sean were left in the meeting hall.

Asuka and Sean were the first to follow Chen Jianqiu and knew his habits.

If they weren't told, they wouldn't have been called.

Leaving them alone now will definitely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

"Asuka, you prepare a few Creek costumes, and pick a few people from the Longxiang group to set off later." Chen Jianqiu tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Let's go to that place and take a look first." ”

"What about me? What about me? Sean asked eagerly.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at him: "Do you think you look like an Indian?" ”

The blacks were speechless for a while.

Chen Jianqiu stood up, patted Sean on the shoulder, and said to him very seriously:

"But I have another important and difficult task for you during this time."

"Play with my son."

A few weeks later, Chen Jianqiu, dressed as Creek Indians, and Asuka and the others appeared on the border between New Mexico and the Oklahoma area.

The Federal Army did not set up patrol posts here.

Because it borders Colorado, it's a mountainous area.

A large number of people could not enter from here.

However, this is not a problem for Chen Jianqiu and Asukai.

After all, so many mountains in the west didn't bother them, and it was obviously a piece of cake here.

They walked east along the North Carnedine River, and after passing through a forest, they soon came across a vast expanse of grassland.

Chen Jianqiu can finally understand why the opening of the territory this time will make so many people crazy.

It is not like the North and South Dakota which is full of bare loess and ravines; It's not like Arizona and New Mexico, where the sand is all over the place, and the tumbleweeds run all over the ground.

Endless pastures undulating and swaying with the wind; Herds of bison, which are completely invisible in other states, loom in the grass;

Within a few kilometres, you can see sparkling creeks and lakes.

These systems of water dot the grasslands of Oklahoma and nourish the fertile land.

Chen Jianqiu was a little emotional.

If Roswell were in this environment, he would wake up laughing if he wasn't dreaming.

It is a pity that the Indians could not keep the promised land.

Therefore, I, Chen Jianqiu, will take it for you!

After walking a little further, they saw the railway.

The Santa Fe Railroad trains run north-south through the entire Oklahoma area, but they do not stop here until the territory opens.

"Boss, where do you think the Oklahoma Colonists Association will build a city?" Asuka asked, looking at the endless grassland.

"It doesn't matter where they build, I only care where our city is." Chen Jianqiu said very domineeringly.

The confluence of the railway and the river is a good choice.

Especially the southern side of the North Carnedine River, the terrain is flat, making it ideal for settlement.

Just as Chen Jianqiu and the bird were riding a horse by the river, a group of people and horses suddenly appeared on the horizon and galloped in their direction.

Judging by their dress, it looks like patrolling federal cavalry.

The cavalry quickly reached them.

They held guns in their hands and pointed at Chen Jianqiu and his party.

After discovering that Chen Jianqiu and none of them had weapons in their hands, they put down the guns in their hands.

"Hey! What are you doing here? Didn't you tell the chiefs of your tribe? This place is no longer yours! ”

A captain-like man at the head shouted loudly.

"Sorry, we just came over and had a look." Asuka replied in English.

Seeing that Asuka could speak English, the captain instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone eased a lot.

He was most afraid that these Indians would not understand the words, and when they met, they would draw their bows and arrows.

"Let's go, the immigrants will be here in two months, and they won't be as polite as we are."

"Will they invade our territory?" Asuka asked calmly, "If you invade, you won't intervene, will you?" ”

"I advise you to be realistic, I see that you speak good English, and you should have spent some time in the civilized world." The captain seemed to be patient.

"If I were to be you, I'd be back in my current territory right now, ready now." He looked a little gloating.

"You don't like them?" Chen Jianqiu raised his eyebrows.

In order to make himself more Indian, he did some treatment on his face to make his complexion redder.

"You should be glad that we Union soldiers are disciplined, but not the most vicious immigrants. So."

The captain made a chaser gesture to them.

After giving Chen Jianqiu a final warning, the captain led the team to leave.

And by this time, it was not early.

"Today, let's set up camp here."
