Chapter 3054

As an entourage, Wang Anbang observed the entire negotiation process between Morgan and the Spanish. This was also a job that he applied for with great difficulty.

Morgan's loud and strong stance during the negotiations made Wang Anbang feel like he had been beaten to death, and he wished he could compete with the Spaniards on the spot.

After finally waiting for the negotiation to end and watching the Spaniards leave, Wang Anbang, whose face was flushed with pain, immediately asked Morgan the question he was most concerned about - when will the fight start?

Morgan smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry?"

Wang Anbang said: "Master, you have let out all your cruel words. If you don't fight, it won't be good, right?"

Morgan waved his hand and said: "War is only a means to achieve an end, not the end itself. Have you ever thought clearly about the purpose of our military measures?"

Wang Anbang said: "Of course we will drive away the Spanish and complete the occupation of San Diego Bay."

Morgan said: "If you only need to achieve this goal, you don't have to wait for you to come here. Your father and I could have completed it when we came to San Diego Bay last year. It is no exaggeration to say that a battalion of troops is enough to defeat them.

Already."

Wang Anbang thought for a while and said: "Then we will surround the point to call for reinforcements and wait for them to move reinforcements."

Morgan nodded slightly and said: "San Diego Bay is a very remote place for Spain, but if they want to control the west coast of North America in the future, they must first occupy this place. If our country takes over this place, it will be equivalent to taking over the entire west coast.

This is an unacceptable result for Spain. So reinforcements will definitely come, it’s just a matter of time."

"And what we have to do is wait here. We will eat as many reinforcements as they come until we drain them dry!"

But before Spanish reinforcements arrive, the Haihan Army stationed here must first act as engineers to expand the size of this stronghold.

Wang Anbang was not interested in engineering construction, but he was not willing to be an idler with nothing to do, so he took the initiative to apply for a job in the logging team. This way he could go out for fun and even hunt during this period.

The wood used to build the stronghold mainly comes from nearby mountain forests. The felled wood is hauled back by heavy-duty carriages, cut, dried, and sorted at the wood processing field outside the stronghold, and then sent to various construction sites for use according to different uses.

The natural environment near San Diego Bay and Jinshan Bay is not much different, and the forest resources are very rich. The nearby mountains and plains are full of towering trees with a height of more than ten feet, which can provide oak, ash, maple, beech and other wood.

However, the nearby indigenous tribes did not seem to welcome the massive deforestation carried out by the Haihan Army. They would often appear near the logging areas and sit on horseback to coldly observe the logging process.

Wang Anbang is no stranger to such scenes. He has seen similar scenes many times near Jinshan Bay before. He knows that these indigenous people have various totem worships. Every plant and tree in the mountain is an inconspicuous piece of

Stones may be gods in the eyes of these indigenous people.

If the taboos of the indigenous people are touched, they will have a stronger reaction and even take action to prevent logging. When Jinshan City was being built, there were many conflicts with the indigenous people over logging.

However, Wang Anbang believes that natural totems and other things are just Haihan's wishful thinking. What the indigenous people really care about is probably that outsiders build towns here, destroying their original living environment.

But if Haihan wanted to settle down here, they would inevitably have to compete with the indigenous people for survival resources, and conflicts would inevitably occur. The day after Wang Anbang joined the logging team, some indigenous hunters who could not restrain themselves took action against them.

.

When Wang Anguo arrived at the scene, the attacking natives had already retreated. Two people in the logging team were injured. One was shot in the leg by a bow and arrow, and the other was hit in the arm by a stone ax in close combat. The injuries to the two were serious.

But luckily it wasn't life-threatening.

There are mountains and forests nearby, so it is difficult to chase, and there is a risk of being ambushed. Although Wang Anbang was angry, he also knew that he could not be impulsive in this situation, and immediately ordered the injured to be sent back to the base for treatment, and others to be on guard.

, to prevent the other party from coming back.

An hour later, a small group of soldiers came from the base. They were reinforcements sent by Morgan after receiving the news.

Wang Anbang didn't think there was anything strange at first, but then he noticed that the guns carried by these soldiers were a little special, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

Their rifles seemed to be at least half a foot longer than the standard rifles, and there was a cylindrical sight on the top of the rifle. They were clearly sniper rifles. And the identities of these people were naturally the snipers trained by Morgan.

Soldiers.

The mountainous forest environment has limited vision, which is not suitable for sniper operations. However, snipers with relatively primitive equipment and combat awareness can still do the job with a larger surveillance range.

These snipers were divided into two shifts and took turns to be on duty. They searched for tall trees near the logging area and climbed to high branches to set up surveillance points. Once the natives tried to attack again, they would be exposed to their guns.

These snipers wore special camouflage uniforms, and their bodies and guns were further camouflaged with branches and leaves. As long as they climbed to a height of three to four feet, it would be difficult to identify them.

Although this method was a bit like waiting for the rabbit, the effect was really good. Just over two hours later, the snipers at high altitudes discovered several more indigenous people in the nearby mountains and forests, quietly approaching the logging area. And they

The weapon he held in his hand showed that he had bad intentions.

The snipers who were waiting for work did not leave them a chance to launch another attack, and decisively opened fire to halt their advance.

The natives who were accompanying them tried to support and take away the injured, but this kind of rescue was like slow motion in the eyes of the snipers at high places. They unhurriedly pulled the bolt, changed the ammunition, aimed, shot, and took away the next one.

This kind of fire strike from high in the forest left the natives completely confused. Until the end of the battle, they still didn't know where the bullets came from.

In the end, four were killed and one was injured, and five natives were left in the forest area. Wang Anbang wanted to try to interrogate the injured, but the officer who accompanied him told him that even the native soldiers in the army could not follow him due to the language barrier.

Communicate with the local indigenous people. Moreover, even if the injured are released, the other party will not be grateful and will only try to recruit more companions to launch a revenge attack on Haihan.

"Only by turning this place into a restricted area with no return will they become afraid and voluntarily give up their activities in this area."

What the officer said was very simple and crude, but it was also the only method that could achieve immediate results. Wang Anbang knew that what the other party said was right, so he stopped making unnecessary attempts and let the officer deal with the dead and injured natives.
