Chapter 191 On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head

Mexico City

At this time, the president's official residence was in chaos, and everyone was shouting around President Santayo, and they were dancing with emotion, as if they were going to tear him alive.

President Santayo was a small and stocky man, sitting in a chair with his head hanging down, his head in a mess, completely unsure of how to deal with the current complicated situation.

He is only a product of the compromise of a party struggle, without the support of powerful political forces and capitalists, without prestige and not enough influence, just a transitional figure.

However, President Santayo was unwilling to be lonely, and always wanted to do something eye-catching in his short presidential term, so he set his sights on the Tang Kingdom.

Before that, he knew very little about the Tang Kingdom.

It is only known that this is a new dynasty founded mainly by the Orientals, defeated the Americans in war, occupied a large territory on the west coast of North America, and that's it.

From the heart

President Santoyo, who believes in Catholicism, is quite repulsive to Eastern pagans, and subconsciously regards the Tang Kingdom as an opponent, which is only a matter of personal likes and dislikes.

Now it's a big deal, and it can't be over.

The porcelain collision turned into a bloody case, which was not justified in the international community, and European countries expressed that they could not help.

Even the United States, which prides itself on being the boss of the Americas, has shrunken its head in this matter.

The U.S. still needs to lick its bleeding wounds, and the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico has deteriorated so much that the U.S. cannot provide substantial help.

The political arrangements that were originally planned to take over as the new president of Mexico have been put on hold, and no one is willing to accept this big thunder that is about to explode, and only the Mexican people are unlucky.

"The terrifying Oriental Cavalry Legion of the Tang Kingdom has been assembled in Rio Rancho, at least 16,000 of them, in addition to 15,000 recruits and 4,000 retired soldiers, for a total of 35,000 troops, this is a powerful force that we cannot contend with. What the hell is to do now? ”

"According to the latest news, the murderous Demon King Charlie has arrived at Rio Rancho Fortress and may go south at any time."

"Since the beginning of January, the Tang Kingdom has recruited nearly 30,000 Indian slaves, and is working day and night to repair the railway and road from Rio Rancho to Juarez, the road is expected to be completed in early April at the latest, and the railway will be opened to traffic by the end of the year.

"The government has to make a decision, otherwise it's all over and the people will be ravaged by war again."

"Mr. President, Count Juan Carlos, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Kingdom, formally rejected our request for peace talks, saying; The dignity of the Tang Kingdom is sacred and cannot be insulted, and Mexico must pay the price of blood. ”

Hear here

President Santoyo suddenly raised his head and plucked up courage to say; "Since you can't talk about it, then prepare to fight, right?"

As soon as they heard his irresponsible words, several Mexican generals gathered around them were furious, yelling and scolding;

"What do you idiot president know? Is war meant to be fought? Soldiers, weapons, equipment, supplies, training nothing, how much can the government allocate to us to fight this war? ”

"What a, the little money paid by the United States and the Tang Kingdom every year is not enough for one-tenth of the reconstruction expenses of the war-stricken towns, the families displaced by the war have resumed production, the pensions for the wounded and wounded soldiers have not yet been settled, and there are only rats and no money in the treasury of the Ministry of Finance."

As soon as it came to appropriations, officials in the Mexican Ministry of Finance jumped up and poured bitter water, spreading their hands and saying that they had no money.

"What war do you have no money for? We can't conjure up soldiers and supplies empty-handed, so what can we do to compete with the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, who are strong and strong? ”

"Let's talk about it, you can't sit still anyway......"

As a result, the government was again in a state of noise......

On February 2, the dragon raised its head.

The heavily guarded Rio Rancho Fortress is unfurling flags outside the city, and an array of cavalry with no end in sight is spread out on the Gobi Desert, with shining armor and swords and guns, and a grand departure ceremony is being held here.

"Open the knife and sacrifice the flag."

After a loud shout, the executioner escorted 10 Indian tribal elders, and the priest fell to his knees, and the big blade of the snow slashed down, and the head fell to the ground immediately.

Then came the second group of escorts, these were the leaders of the Navajo, Apache, Pueblo, Utah, Jicarilla and other major Indian tribes.

The Tang Kingdom has always suppressed the indigenous Indian tribes that did not obey the king, and the Indian tribes who have lived in eastern and northern New Mexico for generations have suffered a devastating blow in military operations.

On August 26, 1849, the Army General Staff Headquarters launched the "Resolve" Clearance Program on a 670-kilometer front from southeastern Colorado to eastern New Mexico.

Before the war, it was planned to invest 18,500 troops, and the actual number of participants exceeded 20,000, and a comprehensive eradication operation was carried out against the indigenous Indian tribes entrenched in the area from five directions at the same time.

Due to the lack of information and the traditional practice of not communicating with each other for generations, the five major indigenous Indian tribes in the region were caught in a situation of fighting for each other, and suffered a one-sided bloodbath.

On a front of more than 600 kilometers, dozens of battles broke out almost simultaneously.

Often the cavalry brigade of the Tang Kingdom of more than 100 people can attack the Indian tribes of thousands of people, and in the dense gunfire like bursting beans, the Indian warriors who dare to resist fall to the ground and die in pieces, such scenes can be seen everywhere.

After the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom was generally equipped with Colt 1848 lever repeating rifles, the firepower density has been qualitatively improved, and the combat effectiveness is much stronger than that during the war against the United States.

The current cavalry of the Tang Kingdom does not need heavy machine guns to set traps at all, and its own fierce firepower alone is enough to solve the enemy and become the king of the battlefield.

The continuous clearing and suppression battles lasted until mid-October, and the soldiers of many cavalry brigades had already penetrated deep into the territory of Texas, the farthest as far as nearly 100 kilometers, and formed a confrontation with the local Texas cavalry.

In view of the rampant cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, the US state of Texas urgently gathered 3,700 cavalry, intending to eliminate several Oriental cavalry brigades that had invaded American territory.

As a result, two consecutive battles ended with the complete defeat of the American cavalry.

post-war inventory;

The American Texas cavalry lost 1,372 people, 68 people were missing, and nearly 1,000 were wounded.

The 478 cavalry belonging to the Tang Kingdom who participated in the two battles returned proudly, and by the way, they also captured a small town on the border with the United States, and returned after burning, killing and plundering.

The results of these two battles frightened the Americans a lot, and the confidence that had just recovered a little was completely shattered, and after the Tang King Richard declared war on Mexico, he quietly made a turtle with a shrunken head.

I can't afford to provoke it, I really can't afford to provoke it.

The key to such a brilliant success is the Colt Type 1848 repeating rifle, which was commonly used by soldiers in the Tang Kingdom, which has been improved in many ways from the original historical Winchester lever rifle.

First, the Colt Type 1848 repeating rifle has a longer barrel and increased range, which can inflict a fatal blow on enemy soldiers within a distance of 350 meters and inflict greater damage on enemy soldiers within a range of 500 meters.

Second, together with the bullets in the chamber, a total of 13 rounds can be loaded, which is affectionately called "thirteen rings" by the soldiers, and the firepower is enhanced.

Thirdly, the rifling of the new rifle was drawn and a copper-shelled full-charge bullet was used, which greatly improved the shooting accuracy and its power should not be underestimated.

Fourth, the design of the latching structure was changed to contribute to the excellent range of the new rifle.

It is precisely because of the above advantages that when the overwhelming American Texas cavalry launched a counter-attack, the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom could instigate the mount to trot at a uniform speed at 350 meters, and pick up the repeating rifle to harvest the lives of the American cavalry round after round, just like hunting rabbits in the field.

And so

The U.S. cavalry collapsed before entering the 150-meter range, and became a rout that scattered and fled, and was chased and beaten all the way by the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom.

The Yankees suffered a big loss, gritted their teeth and swallowed blood.

These Texas rednecks only experienced a few days before and after they went from frantically shouting to make the Eastern cavalry look good, to being subdued in gray.

In the "Determination" clean-up operation

More than 20,000 officers and soldiers who participated in the war exterminated more than 68,300 Indian bandits and captured 193,700 prisoners, including 79,200 Indian women of childbearing age.

The war wiped out dozens of Indian tribes, dealt a devastating blow to the Navajo, Apache, Pueblo, Utah, and Jicarilla, completely wiped out the New Mexico border, and brought peace for at least 50 years.

After the war

The Department of Corrections of the Ministry of the Interior has added 110,000 Indian slave prisoners, most of whom are escorted to railway construction sites and work in coal mines, iron mines, aluminum, zinc and other mines in various places, exchanging hard labor for meager food rations.

The Morenzi Copper Mine is the largest recipient, receiving more than 46,000 Indian prisoners at one time, and could increase the mine's annual output to 50,000 tons, doubling the current average of 23,000 tons a year.

Rio Rancho Fortress on the wide Gobi Desert outside

Hundreds of Indian tribal leaders had their heads cut off, blood soaked red in the yellow sand, and a strong smell of blood wafted across the Gobi Desert, which was the smell of war and death.

With the sound of a long horn, King Richard gave the order to march, and the cavalry on the Gobi Desert drew their shining swords at their waists and brandished them, and shouted loudly;

"Long live the Tang Kingdom, long live the king."

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Hearing tens of thousands of cavalry shouting in unison, the sound shook the sky, and Richard, who was sitting on top of the horse, nodded with satisfaction and said; "The confidence of the officers and men of the whole army is high, the morale is available, and this king is very satisfied!"

"The ministers wish Your Majesty a successful start to the kingdom, expand the territory of the kingdom again, and establish an unearthly cause." Earl Gu Yan led a group of civil and military courtiers to see him off, and he hugged his fists in unison.

In the crowd of people who saw them off, the four major demon generals under the Demon Throne that Americans feared were all listed, and none of them even went out on the expedition.

In this battle, His Majesty appointed all up-and-coming newcomers, with the highest rank of colonel, and not a single brigadier general.
