Updated the latest chapter of this book) However, that night, Chen Lanbin found Bu Pinglai again. The two old men hid in the house and talked secretly for about an hour. The next day, Bu Pinglai gathered some bigwigs from Chinatown to open the incense hall, recruit Guo Jinzhang into Hongmén, and serve as the "double huā red stick" of Hongmén's San Francisco branch... This Niu x's position is the same as the early position of a gentleman who was later called the founding father, but Guo Jinzhang was more than 20 years earlier, and he had never thought about borrowing this position to do a great cause, such as liberating the entire Chinese people. Although the "profession" he is now in is already extraordinary, it is even more dangerous and has no future in some people's eyes than rebelling in China.
But this is nothing. The double huā red stick is equivalent to Hong mén's "marshal". Under Bu Pinglai's leadership, it seems that there is no solution to the previous problems. However, Bu Pinglai obviously made up his mind. After he praised Guo Jinzhang as the red stick, he told everyone that he would leave Seattle with Chen Lanbin... The others were naturally very surprised, because Bu Pinglai's decision was really shocking. However, no matter how he persuaded or kept him, Bu Pinglai did not change his mind. Even Cai Junsong, Hu Youde, etc., who were most unhappy with Guo Jinzhang, were forced to leave together.
Guo Jinzhang was also very surprised by this. He really wanted to get the supreme leadership of the Chinese workers because he felt that he was the only one who was the most suitable position at the moment. Although Bu Pinglai and others had experience and skills, they did not have a clear understanding of many things. But he had never thought about it.
Bu Ping came to leave, and he didn't want the old man to leave at this time... The Americans may not have enough time to get a large army to put the army in the face. Bu Ping left. Didn't this pour a basin of cold water on the already low morale of the "Red Sè Corps"? He couldn't figure it out, and others couldn't figure it out, and Bu Ping didn't explain it. Even if others asked, he still kept silent and left with Chen Lanbin.
As a result, the morale of the Chinese workers was greatly hit. Guo Jinzhang and others had no choice but to put away their suspicion. While comforting everyone's emotions, they encouraged everyone, and while considering how to fight when facing the US military in the near future.
Time passes day by day.
About a week later, a message from San Francisco captured Seattle through a telegram: Originally, the US government had decided to assemble 10,000 regular troops, 30,000 militias, and 40,000 troops, and appointed the commander-in-chief of the Federal Army, Sherman, as the supreme commander, and would launch an attack on the "Red Sè Bandit Army" entrenched in Seattle after the Pacific Railway was restored and opened to traffic. However, just as Sherman was about to leave the White House and head to the already assembled Federal Army base, a man suddenly came forward to ask Sherman to give up the command of the pursuit and suppression troops and give the position of the supreme commander himself... This man was the former boss of Ulysses Simpson Grant Sherman, 59 years old, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army in the late Civil War, and the 18th President of the United States of America.
"They killed a Grant, so let this Grant destroy them." Grant claimed.
...
"No matter who comes, the result will be the same."
Grant is famous, and even Chinese workers have many people who know the other party's strength. After the American political team finally gave the position of commander of the pursuit and suppression troops to this guy, the Chinese workers who were already not very morale were even more worried because of Bu Pinglai and others' departure... However, Guo Jinzhang seemed full of confidence, as if they were about to face not the most powerful army general in the United States today, but a cat and a dog that suddenly jumped out of the roadside. But this cannot be blamed on Guo Jinzhang, who is Grant? Who is Robert Lee? No matter how powerful they are, how can they compare to MacArthur and Patton? Although Guo does not feel qualified to have a duel with MacArthur or Patton, even
Not qualified to have a military competition with a regiment-level officer under these two American generals, but now it is 1881... What do Americans rely on to fight a war? Whether in World War I or World War II, one of the most fundamental reasons why the United States can win is that they have enough logistics supplies, and then rely entirely on high-tech weapons to ravage those small countries... Although this cannot cover up the ability of those generals, in such a time and space, he has completely made up his mind to defend comprehensively. Even if the opponent has the means, he will not think about what he does. If a mouse pulls a turtle, you have to have a place to speak... Of course, if the opponent's offensive is too strong and the Chinese workers can't hold on, then he has nothing to say.
"I've asked those white people that this Grant is not the one we met before. The most cruel thing is that this guy surrounded a city for seven months, starved the people in the city to death for three to four thousand and seven months, and kept bombarding the city with cannons every day..." Liu Tongfu picked up his teeth and sold his news.
"I used the cannon to bombard it for seven months?" This time made everyone feel a little guilty.
"That's right. I've asked about it for seven months, but it's not short." Liu Tongfu answered very seriously.
"Seven months are seven months, he will come if he has the ability. I'll wait for him." Guo Jinzhang felt a little nervous... In the past, when he set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, he set a firecracker on the ground and lit it. The movement, the vibration under his feet could be felt within a radius of more than ten or twenty meters. The power of the shells was much greater than this. I don't know how powerful the bombardment was. For seven consecutive months, when thinking about the usual luxury of the US military, I'm afraid there would be at least one hundred and eighty cannon. In this way, this Grant is probably really difficult to deal with.
"I know you are not afraid of him, m. You kid dared to pick the Denver police station when you were alone, and you dared to enter San Francisco when you were six or seven hundred people... But after all, you are not a soldier. This time, we are facing someone else's number one general." Liu Tongfu seemed to believe Guo Jinzhang's words... This is almost a unified recognition of all Chinese workers from Colorado: Jinzhang may not have been afraid at all.
"There is nothing to say. Our current arrangement is a complete defense. Although we don't have a lot of cement, with the help of the terrain of Seattle, even if the US military brings five hundred cannons, they don't want to defeat us easily. Besides, these white men know how to fight? It's not that they just use weapons and rely on the supplies behind them to bully people. With our current formation, let alone seven months, and two years, he may not have the ability to invade... Besides, why do we choose Seattle? Isn't it just to lengthen their supply lines and increase the difficulty of their attack on us? Before the army and horses move, food and grass will go first. This baggage is not so lucky. People eat horses, which is enough for the Americans to feel distressed." Guo Jinzhang said.
"Hehe, I'll be relieved if you can say that." Liu Tongfu smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you are afraid, you are afraid, everyone is guilty." Li Asheng's face was heavy. The Chinese workers were low in morale, which has always been the thing he was most worried about.
"Americans come with murderous intentions. If we can't win, we will die." Guo Jinzhang grinned, "So, don't worry. Everyone will fight to the death. As long as they can block the first round, there will be no major problems in the future."
"Are you so sure?" Cheng Degui asked uncertainly. In his heart, since ancient times, morale and morale have been extremely important in wars since ancient times. Otherwise, no matter what storytelling, why should we always mention morale from time to time? You can't just talk about making up the number of words, right? The morale of the army is no longer there and the morale is low. Maybe the enemy generals are scared and the entire army will retreat, just like when Guan Gong urged his horse to kill Yan Liang, and Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops were scared by Guan Erye and turned around and ran away?
"I'm sure." Seeing that Cheng Degui was asking seriously, Guo Jinzhang also nodded solemnly.
"Aren't you lying to me?" Cheng Degui was still a little worried. Even if the storytelling legends were false, it could not be so fake that they were not even accurate in "morality"?
"Have I lied to you?" Guo Jinzhang asked with a smile.
"No." Cheng Degui shook his head directly. From beginning to end, Guo Jinzhang had never deceived anyone. Even if he encountered any dangerous things, he would say it directly. The result was that they were so stupid and bold... Thinking about their past days in Denver, it was like a dream.
"Then you should believe me." Guo Jinzhang smiled again. It's not that he hasn't deceived people, but many things have no chance to expose them. But this time he really didn't lie. Although he didn't have much experience in this area, when he was working in the factory, his master was a retired veteran. When this veteran joined the army, he was in a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and he was just a soldier in Yunnan, and he was almost transferred to the battlefield... Of course, the master did not go to the battlefield, but his master was a new recruit at that time. Of course, he was a new recruit, and naturally there were veterans. These veterans were not so "lucky"... According to his master's words, "When he really arrived on the battlefield, when the gunshots sounded, he was afraid? Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Guo Jinzhang didn't believe this before, but he just thought that the veterans were bragging, and they had some experience. However, when he thought of his group of people who risked their lives in Denver and survived again and again, especially in Pueblo's attack, Xiao Qian died, and Qian Shide turned around and rushed towards the enemy to fight desperately, Guo Jinzhang had to admit that he had too little experience. Perhaps, during the war, there were indeed many defeated soldiers, even cowards who were about to collapse, but there were also many who dared to fight up even though he knew he could not defeat him and rushed up to fight to the death... He believed that the group of Chinese workers under his command only lacked a real actual battle. As long as he blocked the attack of the first group of Americans, these people would quickly mature and relied on their strong fortifications to fight a war of attrition with the US military.
So what about Grant? Although they didn't kill the last Grant, that guy was also afraid of being caught up with the bandits, which was almost the same as dying at their hands. Since he could kill a governor Grant, what was it difficult to kill a Grant who had been president? The secret weapon removed from San Francisco is not a decoration. That thing would not recognize the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, nor would it know what a famous general was.
"I object, object, object..."
Grant's reputation remains the same, whether it is for Americans or others. Even if Guo Jinzhang tried hard not to take this North No. 1 general in his heart, he still had to find some "secret weapons" to establish confidence for himself. However, just when Grant asked him to be the commander-in-chief of the pursuit and suppression army, and this request had been recognized by many people. Even the former commander Sherman planned to give up this opportunity to earn military merits, Brian stood up and expressed his opinions to Hayes in an extremely firm tone.
"Grant is an excellent general, and can even be said to be the best. Brian, why do you object to him as the commander-in-chief of the pursuing and suppression army?" Hayes was very annoyed. He wanted to be the commander-in-chief of Grant, because Grant was a famous general after all, with a strong record and could give people more confidence... Tom Hannis's failure has made Hayes unable to bear another pressure. Although Sherman is also a famous general and can also give him a lot of confidence, Sherman is not as good as Grant after all, and the commander-in-chief of the Federal Army was once a deputy.
"What is the commander-in-chief of the pursuing army? In my opinion, even if I, a guy who has no military understanding, comes forward, leads troops of 40,000 to 50,000, and brings more than 100 mén cannons, it is enough to eliminate the arrogant Chinese. Grant simply wants to use this opportunity to make a comeback..." Brian shouted.
"Come back? I don't know what you are talking about. Hasn't the Republican Party nominated James Garfield as presidential candidate? Where can Grant have a chance?" Hayes said angrily.
"Of course he has a chance. Although he cannot be elected president for the third time, with the help of this opportunity to eliminate the Chinese, he can definitely gain more support in Congress...he will split the Republican Party." Brian shouted.
"Grant is not such a person." Everett said in a deep voice. When Brian broke in, he was discussing things with Hayes, and he never left since then.
"Then how do you explain the current situation in Congress?" Brian asked back.
"That's because someone made some small moves while running for presidential candidates, which aroused the anger of Grant supporters..." Everett said tit-for-tat.
"I know what you want to say. But I'm not for myself... I never deny that Grant is an excellent general, but he is just an excellent general, that's it." Brian also shouted: "Think about it yourself, what did Grant do in his eight years as president?
