Chapter 826 West Coast Expansion Plan (I)

It was unexpected that Anhe Town was attacked by the Cheyenne people, and Li Heng and Dai Zhiyuan knew this very well. Novel Chinese iqi. North America is too big, and this little force in his hands cannot be fully covered. From another perspective, the colonists underestimated the enemy and did not take the indigenous people seriously at all. Even though they had discovered the indigenous cavalry before, they did not take it seriously. The reason for underestimating the enemy was mainly based on the fact that they had not paid much price to kill the Cologne horses.

There have been many things in recent times. We have to deal with the distribution of interests well, and we have to deal with the matter of retirement of the Marines to form police and tax police, the allocation of materials and labor in newly built settlements, etc., and we are so busy that we smoke and neglected some things. Unexpectedly, the people of Cheyenne were so brave that they really came to the door.

"To ensure the safety of this territory, the problem of the Cheyenne people must be solved. I suggest that some ideals be drawn, and 50 kilometers southwards to build a new colony point to prepare for the next step of going south." Dai Zhiyuan came in from outside with a dusty face. Seeing Li Heng looking at the map with a dark face, he knew what he was thinking.

"How was that infantry regiment placed?" Li Heng asked a little irresponsible. He, a general from the navy, had never had a good relationship with the army. The navy looked down on the rude Qiu Ba of the army. This idea was laid at the beginning of the navy's establishment. The relationship between the two armies was not good. Think carefully about the annual investment of the navy is five times that of the army. Do you think the relationship between the two armies can be better? Can a rich man with a wealthy and powerful group of peasants in ragged clothes be seen?

The Navy looks down on the Army, and the Army can see the Shanghai Army? This contradiction cannot be resolved at all!

Because of this, even if the Navy doesn't say it, it has always regarded North America as its own business. Now that an infantry regiment of the Army has arrived, isn't this an explicit way to grab business? Li Heng came from the Navy. If he came from the Marines, he would naturally applaud him. Now he is an infantry regiment, which is said to be a reinforced regiment with a scale of nearly 3,000 people. What exactly does the Army want to do? It's so ugly. Didn't the General Staff see it? Think carefully, aren't the General Staff members always playing like this? Starting from the senior officials, to Java, Sumatra, Australia, India, etc., have the roles played by the Navy always been auxiliary workers?

It is not a big deal that the navy complains in his heart, and he can't say that he has resentment. Take Java as an example. After the Navy cleaned up the Dutch and shocked European countries, the Nima Army landed on the battlefield. In Nanyang and India, these grandsons have made many benefits and have continuously expanded their territory. The ratio of titles between the army and the navy is three to one. It's strange that the navy can be happy. With the qualifications, the old guys are basically all from the army, and the nostrils of the army are walking towards the sky.

Now that North America has just opened up, Li Heng finally locked in a title. Unexpectedly, before he got the title, these Qiu Ba came to the door. It was so bullying. Li Heng was in a bad mood, but he just took a look on the day the infantry regiment landed, and since then he ignored this matter and threw it directly to Dai Zhiyuan.

Isn’t it time to fight? Li Heng remembered it and was reluctant to give these people a chance from the bottom of his heart. Isn’t this insufficient military strength?

The two of them are too tacitly understanding now. Dai Zhiyuan knew what he was thinking when he heard this, and his face was bitter: "Brother Li. This is the General Staff's decision. If you have no objection, you have to accept it. This army is not simple, it is not an ordinary infantry. This is the elite sent by the Duke to North America. Even in India, he is not willing to send a soldier and a soldier."

Li Heng's eyes turned red, and he grabbed Dai Zhiyuan's shoulder and said, "Elite? From the mountain brigade?" Dai Zhiyuan reacted and smiled and said, "I forgot that you participated in the Japanese counter-rebellion war, that unit. And it was a unit that had been targeted for training. The equipment was also targeted, and everyone could fight on horseback, which was especially suitable for combat in North America, which was a sparsely populated area. Forget it, I can't tell you clearly. We'll see it together tomorrow morning."

Li Heng looked down at the time and said, "Don't wait for tomorrow. Have some dry food on the way for lunch, and we will set off immediately."

Dai Zhiyuan also got used to this hot and inspiring personality. Although Li Heng doesn't take power very much and doesn't care about gold production, it's like he was immediately injected with chicken blood when it comes to military affairs.

Dai Zhiyuan was not Li Heng, and he did not have that heavy resentment. Although he was also a member of the Navy, he should not do too much when relocating the army brothers. And he also had to arrange the development of the colonial site. The colonial site of Kingsoft is now developing towards a small city. The original camp now had a role similar to a warehouse.

If you look at the map, the current location of the Governor's House is probably the center of San Francisco on the modern map. The Navajo people's residence should be in the Bonnar Heights a little south. The camp of the Mountain Brigade Contingent is near the dock facing the bay. The terrain here is flat and there was originally a small military camp. It was expanded after this spring, enough to accommodate 3,000 people in the Mountain Brigade Contingent.

Although the regiment commander Tanakayao was ready to endure hardships before coming, he really lost a lot of weight after drifting on the sea for a month and a half, and his weight dropped by ten kilograms. He thought it was really not easy to be able to live to the place. The mountain brigade is the elite, and the task force is even more elite among the elite. Everyone is a good player who is familiar with mountain combat and is also a qualified cavalry.

Considering the special nature of North America's natural environment, the regiment was given a complete set of cavalry equipment after eight months of cavalry training. In addition to rifles, each weapon was equipped with a saber, a nine-mm caliber revolver, and a shotgun. It can be said that it was armed to the teeth, and the individual equipment was the best in the army. In terms of fire support, in addition to the light and easy to disassemble and assemble, there was also a new mortar cannon, scientifically called mortar, with a caliber of 60 mm and a maximum range of 1,000 meters. This new type of artillery equipment became very popular afterwards. In order to bring more mortar shells, Tanaka Jie asked his grandfather to sue his grandmother and specially made an additional assembly of a supply ship, bringing 60 spare cannons, each cannon with fifty base ammunition. This was the result of Mr. Chen's special approval and hollowing out the inventory of the general manager. If he could bring more, he would not mind continuing to cry.

After a month of rest, the Mountain Brigade Task Force, whose new number is the First North American Infantry Regiment, has recovered well, and the requirement of one horse per person for combat troops has also been met. If it weren't for the limited number of horses in the Governor's Office of Kingsoft, the normal organization should be one person, two horses or even more.

When Li Heng and Dai Zhiyuan came suddenly, when Tanaka Jie heard the news, they had already entered the gate of the camp and came downstairs of the command post. Tanaka Jie had only the rank of major. When he saw the chief, he quickly saluted and greeted him. Li Heng raised his hand and replied, "Major Tian, ​​this place is not as good as the country. If you care for something wrong, you will understand more." This was a bit of a natural feeling. Tanaka Jie understood it and replied with a positive attitude: "Before he came, he was fully prepared and absolutely obeyed the command of the Governor."

Li Heng developed some favors for this tall and military major. At least this guy is quite tactful and knows that he must bow his head under the eaves. When he nodded and walked upstairs of the command post, he saw a wire extending out of the command post. Li Heng was a little uneasy and stared at the wire and said, "The telegram wire you have brought? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

When Tanaka Jie saw his face, he couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: You have never cared about us in the past month. I thought so, but he still explained respectfully on his face: "The dock is not enough, and the supply ship is at the end. We can't control the people from the telegraph company. Before leaving, there was an explanation from the above, and we just cooperate with them."

Li Heng knew very well what the telegraph company was, and it was not a force that the army could control. It was a little better in China. The telegraph company's business was concentrated along the railway line and was more in line with the needs of the garrison. In North America, it is hard to say whether people buy it. The telegraph has too much effect. Since Li Heng saw it, he will naturally be free.

"Where are they?" Li Heng asked afterwards. When Tanaka Jie saw that the chief was standing downstairs, he quickly explained: "The technicians have all gone out, and there is a manager on the upper floor. Now, I just got on the shore with supplies a week ago, so I started to work hard, occupying half of the command post, and I dare not complain."

Li Heng was happy now and patted Tian Nakaki's shoulder with a smile and said, "Good job, take me to see their manager."

The manager's surname is Gu, and his name is Renjie. The nephew of a certain aunt in Zhangjiazhuang followed his cousin to do telegraph business. This time he went to North America to develop, but he volunteered. This guy is a man who can do things, but he is still a master who would rather be a chicken head. Before leaving, Chen Fan specifically explained to him that North America has special characteristics, so he was affiliated with the army here. The branch was still a branch, but everyone was in the military sequence. This place cannot be separated from the protection of the army. Those who play technology cannot think they are self-righteous, and they cannot compare to the peaceful and prosperous times in the country.

This is very useful. Gu Renjie was rank of a second lieutenant and led a team of thirty people. Two armed merchant ships are the industry of the general company. Between North America and Liaodong, it is planned to run back and forth a year. Just now, all the supplies on the ship were discharged, and Gu Renjie was still busy counting the accounts, two major generals and majors came in at the door.

"Second Lieutenant Gu Renjie, the Director of Telecommunications of Jinshan Military Region, have seen all the officials." Gu Renjie quickly stood up and saluted, with a straight attitude. After Li Heng and others hurriedly returned the gift, they showed their hungry wolf-like eyes, and wandered around a telegraph machine on the table for a while, and said in unison: "Good thing!"
