The valley is still the same, with some tombstones, and there are some tents. What comes in and out of the tent are white men in military uniforms... naturally they are captured US Army. Even if they are prepared and see these guys who are obviously from the army with their own eyes, Angelo and others still feel a little unbelievable:

“This is impossible.”

"What's impossible? Just ask them." Chu Si's tone was very bad. Here, more than 70 Chinese workers who were hunted and killed by Denver militia were buried. Every time he came back, he was in a very bad mood.

"Captain Miller, go and ask."

Angelo sighed again. He actually believed it. Because according to the original news, the reinforcements of the army should have arrived long ago, but there was no news for several days. Moreover, the Chinese workers have been leisurely guarding the edge of their city without any threat at all. What does this mean? Even if he knows nothing about military affairs, he can think that there is something wrong with the reinforcements... After all, he just doesn't want to believe that this army that they have high hopes will be defeated by the Chinese workers so silently. But in this situation, what can I do if I don't believe it anymore?

...

"You are really the Federal Army?"

Miller and Matthew walked to the center of the camp together and asked, looking for a few soldiers who were staying outside the tent.

"Who are you? Denver?" the soldier who was asked glanced at them and asked back.

"That's right. Are you really the Federal Army?" Matthew asked again, his tone a little urgent.

"We are the Army..." The other party glanced at them again and lowered his head.

"Then why are you here? Shouldn't you come to rescue us?" Matthew suddenly became angry.

"What would you do if you suddenly overturned while sitting on the train?" A soldier next to him asked angrily, "Sir, we are here to rescue you, but this does not mean we must give our lives."

"Okay, Dark, what are you talking about with these guys? Don't you know who they are?" Another soldier snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"What are you talking about? Who are we?" Miller asked with a frown.

"The whole of America knows that you are just a group of inhuman executioners who want to kill people, but they are killed by others... Everything is caused by you Denver people themselves, right?" the soldier said, looking at him coldly.

"you……"

"You were also captured by those Chinese, right?"

Unexpectedly, these soldiers would be so indifferent to him, even hostile to him. Matthew and Miller were both shocked and angry. Just as they were about to say something, a voice suddenly came from behind him. Looking back, they saw a tall white man with a big beard standing behind the two of them... It was cold that the sky was still open and she was wearing only a tweed coat.

"Who are you?" Miller asked in a deep voice.

"Col. Michael Richard, who are you?" the man asked himself and continued.

"Sir!"

Colonel! Miller and Matthew hurriedly set aside and saluted each other.

"Minister?" Richard pondered for a moment and asked when he saw the performance of the two.

"Captain Abraham Miller!"

"Captain Vince Matthew!"

"Oh, not bad." Richard nodded and looked at the two of them again: "You were captured, or did you surrender voluntarily?"

"Col., why are you..." Miller and the others did not answer each other's questions because they also had too many questions in their minds.

"Didn't these guys tell you?" Richard smiled bitterly, "We were sitting on the train and rushed towards Denver quickly, but suddenly overturned... It was that simple. Of course, after the overturn, we were surrounded by a group of Chinese people before we could react. So, in order to save the lives of these soldiers, I had to order surrender."

"Current?"

"Yes." Seeing that the two of them were still not very convinced, Richard shrugged helplessly, "Actually, I couldn't believe it before this. But the fact is that the Chinese just staggered the rails a few times and easily won a victory... This also made my soldiers and I understand why you lost... It must be very hard to fight such a cunning enemy, right?"

"More than just hard work?" Seeing that Colonel Richard had a hint of gratitude in front of him, Miller and Matthew didn't know what to say. Thank you? If it was just hard work, why would Washington send your army here?

"Col. We still have something to do..."

"Negotiate with the Chinese?"

There was nothing to say. Although the colonel's attitude seemed to be OK, these soldiers obviously had no good feelings for the Denver people. Miller and Matthew didn't want to waste time here anymore... A group of prisoners, what else can I say? The situation of these guys is obviously worse than that of them. But they didn't expect that as soon as they spoke, Richard guessed what they were going to do next.

"It's not like negotiations. What's more, it's possible that it's blackmailed by the Chinese and squeezed the last drop of oil and water in Denver." Matthew replied angrily.

"This is what it should be," a soldier next to him snorted coldly, "Anyway, this is all caused by you, you deserve it."

"If our soldiers could arrive in time, this would not have happened, but unfortunately..."

"Matthew!" Miller quickly stopped Matthew, but even so, the half of what Matthew said just now made the faces of the soldiers around him covered with obvious anger, and several soldiers sitting not far away even stood up... In this regard, Miller had no choice but to come to Richard: "Col. Your soldiers are very unfriendly."

"Ben's brother died when the train overturned... Moreover, after being captured, the Chinese told us the causes and consequences of the matter. Although each of us knew very clearly that if there was another situation, none of us would be indignant of what you did or would have any sympathy for them. However, now it is different, so..." Richard spread his hands helplessly, "You understand."

"Then can we leave now?" Miller asked in a deep voice.

"Of course." Richard made way aside, "please."

"Thank you." He nodded to the other party expressionlessly, Miller pulled Matthew and walked out. If I had known, I wouldn't have come to see these soldiers... These guys shouldn't be the Chinese who came to pretend, right? Why don't there be any position that whites should have? However, as former soldiers, both Miller and Matthew knew very well that the guys in front of him who were cold and even hostile to them were reinforcements sent by Washington, and they could feel it.

"Actually, you don't have to pay too much attention to the Chinese's conditions. They are still in the United States, and what they really need to face is Washington."

"Washington?" Miller had just taken two steps, and when he heard Richard's words, he couldn't help but turn around.

"They are Chinese, and no one can change this, so if these people are smart enough, they will definitely know who they need to face... Of course, although they are smart, I don't think they have enough knowledge, so I think you don't have to worry too much about them. Anyway, when Washington reacts, everything they get will be like the snow in this valley, and eventually disappear without a trace." Richard smiled faintly.

******************************

"What did you talk to those guys?"

There was a tent outside the valley, Guo Jinzhang and others were not there, Angelo stared at Miller and Matthew and asked.

"It's nothing, it's all a group of guys who only know how to shirk responsibility." Matthew replied angrily.

"Captain Miller?" Angelo looked at Miller again.

"It's nothing, I just asked casually why they were captured," Miller sighed and replied.

"Then how did they get captured?" Angelo asked hurriedly. This was also a big question that had been accumulated in his mind. More than a thousand people were regular army soldiers, equivalent to tens of thousands of militias. They were captured in the absence of less than 10% of the losses. This was simply a miracle.

"The Chinese tampered with the rails and overturned the train they were on. As a result, they captured them all without wasting a bullet." Matthew snorted coldly.

"Have you overturned the train?" Angelo blinked, "It's that simple."

"What else do you want? A fierce battle?" Matthew said annoyed. "Just with these guys, if they fight with the Chinese, I think they will only run faster, worse than those militia."

"Can you stop talking about these? What we need to discuss now is the conditions proposed by the Chinese... Will you agree?" Miller looked up at the two of them and said dissatisfiedly. The reason why he was thrown into this tent alone was that Guo Jinzhang asked them to discuss it himself... Because, just when he and Matthew went to meet the captured soldiers, the other party proposed new conditions to Angelo. Well, it can't be considered new conditions, because their negotiations encountered differences from the beginning, and the Chinese just didn't have time to express all the conditions. And now, all the conditions of the other party have been expressed.

"All things were written off, one million dollars and three hundred thousand acres of land were made public to the world, and I still want to... I am just a militia, and what I said is not the final word." Matthew gritted his teeth and simply put the pick.

"At least, these things need to be passed first in the city council and then taken to the House of Representatives, and finally approved by the governor. However, in Denver, less than one-third of the city council members have collected, and the same is true for the members of the House of Representatives. The governor died earlier and could not be fulfilled even if he agreed." Angelo said.

"But the Chinese don't know this." Miller said.

"So what? Do you think those Chinese people care?" asked Matthew.

"They think they are winners, so let them be winners." Miller glanced at the two of them, "Just as the colonel said, we promise them..."

"But if they reacted and knew that we were playing tricks, have you ever thought about the consequences?" Angelo asked back: "These guys are not the honest Chinese workers before. They have experienced many tests and blood and fire. If they know that we are cheating on them, their anger will be more vigorous than they are now and will definitely burn everything."

"Washington won't allow them to do that," Miller replied. Even if the Chinese people agreed, what if they promised them, as long as the United States government really moved, everything these people achieved would be shattered. Richard's words seemed to be right in his ears. But unfortunately, Angelo was not as confident as he did:

"Washington has long refused to allow them to do that, but the reinforcements they sent are in the hands of the Chinese, and they beg the Chinese not to massacre them like militias. ... There are not many cities in Colorado that are enough to destroy the Chinese, gentlemen."

"What do you think you should do? Are you just stalemate? The Chinese won't have that good patience," Miller shouted.

"Then keep fighting with them. We rely on the city defense. I don't believe that they can defeat us with those hundreds of people." Matthew jumped up and said loudly.

"But they don't need to defeat us at all. They just need to put a few more days of cigarettes." Angelo glanced at him and said.

“…”

Yes, when the smoke is put out, people will put out the smoke. Matthew stayed for a while, and a trace of blood surged from his face faded helplessly... He mingled from a soldier to a captain, and never thought of such a tactic... I think, even if the captured army in the valley was not overturned by someone, he could reach Denver smoothly, he would probably not be able to hold on to this move. He was smoked for days and nights, even if their combat power was ten times that of the militia? He couldn't open his eyes and couldn't breathe. Wait until the enemy rushed forward, wouldn't he be dead?

"I can't agree and I can't cheat, but I can't cheat, so what should we do?" No, neither left nor right. Miller and Matthew are both soldiers and are increasingly irritable.

"I think only the truth..."

"Bang!"

Angelo was talking, but unexpectedly, a gunshot suddenly came from outside, which scared the three of them.

"What's going on?"

The three of them were stunned for a moment and rushed out of the tent. Guo Jinzhang was very disciplined. In order to let the three of them go, they did not arrange any personnel around them, and they ran fifty meters away. However, just fifty meters, Angelo and others could still barely tell what was going on.

"Charlotte—"

With a scream, Angelo stepped out her two big legs and rushed over.

"Why, you have finished discussing?" Guo Jinzhang was standing aside. When he saw the three of them rushing over, he asked indifferently.

"You, you..."

That guy was fine? Angelo rushed over and saw that Charlotte's face was paler than the snow on the ground, but he was just kneeling there, looking paralyzed, but he was still gasping for breath, and there was no wound on his body. He couldn't help frowning slightly... He was a lawyer, although he was not very qualified, but he was not unfamiliar with American laws. After all, they arrested Charlotte and regarded this guy as a "gift" to the Chinese to express their sincerity. It was quite dangerous. He might be charged at any time... Yes, it was an accusation. Because Charlotte was the mayor! Although this guy was the mayor, this guy

Although he made so many mistakes, he never took off this position from beginning to end. Although there is no brainless law in the United States such as legal immunity, even if this guy is wrong, he must be charged by the *** and then tried by the court... Others must not interfere, otherwise they will have to bear legal responsibility. And their actions undoubtedly violate this. If the prosecutor is more serious, he can use "murder" to accuse them. Even if the Chinese will not kill Charlotte, they will at most "attempted murder"!

But, even though they knew there would be such a result, why did they do this again? Because it would only be worse for Charlotte to stay in the city... This guy is a firm pro-war faction. The hatred with the Chinese has made this guy unable to change his position. He can only fight with the Chinese because everyone knows that the Chinese will not let him go. But the Chinese people locked in Denver for a few days, and they and the vast majority of citizens no longer have any confidence in resisting... Because they feel that even if the Chinese do not launch a direct attack, as long as they continue to smoke, it will be enough to smoke them. The scene of the situation in which they are difficult to breathe and cannot open their eyes is really uncomfortable. Over time, it is even more uncomfortable than death. Therefore, they have antagonized Charlotte. According to the news that Matthew received, Dennis murdered Grant, and Charlotte obviously knows this.

One thing, but this guy still appointed Dennis as the police chief... As a result, they launched a secret "incident" at Angelo's home and arrested these two guys. However, both of them had considerable strength, especially Dennis, who had dozens of men and were all outlaws and were all in the city. They knew that this guy had murdered the governor. Once he was rescued, he would definitely bite them in reverse, and even kill them to silence them... So, they were cruel and simply handed over these two guys out. Of course, they would not promote that they planned to treat the mayor of Denver as their sincerity and gave it to the Chinese to kill them in exchange for the other party's "leniency" towards Denver City. They said that Charlotte "takes the initiative to lead the team", and Dennis took the initiative to follow out of the intention of protecting the mayor...

Angelo originally thought that when the Chinese saw these two people, they would shoot at least quickly, and at least they would kill Charlotte... Then he could push the murder to the Chinese. Everyone knows that the Chinese and Charlotte are deeply intimidated, and it is normal to shoot as soon as they meet. In this situation, killing the mayor seems to not affect the negotiations between the Chinese and them... As long as the negotiations are successful and the past is written off, Charlotte will naturally die in vain and they will be freed.

But beyond his expectations, Guo Jinzhang and others seemed to have ignored the existence of the culprit, and instead started negotiations with them. Now, they finally fired the gun but did not kill this guy...
