1850 American Gold Baron

"I have been in the military for half my life, and have experienced dozens of battles, big and small, and I have never seen an opponent with such weak knees."

Krueger couldn't help but complain.

The Mexicans' mischief disrupted Kruger's original plan.

He was born in the Prussian army. Prussia was located in the fourth war in Europe. Naturally, the enemies he had fought against before were not very good.

If it were Elvis, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so surprised by Mexico's reply.

After all, Elvis once served as an instructor in the Mexican army, and he knew the situation of the Mexican army better. He knew that this was a group of masters who could not hold up the wall with mud.

"Since Lao Mo asked us to send an investigation team to investigate, we will send the investigation team to investigate. As long as we investigate carefully, we can always find some clues." Deng Wenshun said.

He is now not only the mayor of Los Angeles, but also the leader of the Los Angeles Militia.

San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Sacramento, three major cities with a population of more than 100,000, have their own militia groups.

The leader of the militia group is appointed by local celebrities and dignitaries.

"You are the team leader? I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Deng Wenshun walked back and forth in front of the well with his hands behind his back, and immediately pointed at the well and said firmly: "This well has a strange smell! There must be foreign objects below it! Quickly fish out the foreign objects below!"

"Understood! I will definitely investigate and get to the bottom of it until the investigation comes to a result that satisfies the general!" Kruger showed a sly smile.

They estimated in their minds that most of these people were gamblers and smokers who had borrowed loans from the Loyalty Society at high interest rates and could not repay them. They were made into military uniforms of the Western Brigade by the Loyalty Society and thrown into the well.

Naturally, the Mexican side did not dare to neglect an investigation team with such a high standard, so they had no choice but to accompany these American uncles with a smile on their faces to bring them into the city for investigation.

As a media person, Collins has a very keen sense of news.

Krueger quickly arranged for a heavily armed investigation team to enter Tijuana to investigate.

"What if we can't find out? Won't we be unable to step down?" Kruger expressed his concerns.

Good steel must be used on the blade, and the main task of the Western Brigade is to fight on the front line.

But soon, the Mexicans discovered that they had underestimated the shamelessness of these Americans.

The main task of these militias is to station themselves in the occupied areas after the main force of the Western Brigade captures Mexico City and maintain public security and order in the occupied areas.

Damn it, where are these American soldiers?

Of course, small cities also have their own militia organizations, but the scale of militia organizations in small cities is smaller.

For example, San Diego has only one militia battalion.

"Cough cough cough." Deng Wenshun coughed twice and said.

There were five to six thousand people from the Western Brigade and the California militia fighting at the gates of Tijuana. The cowards in Mexico were too cowardly to dare to attack him.

Over the years, he has experienced many major events and taken many famous news photos.

After all, the main force of the Western Brigade is limited in number, and it is impossible to disperse the troops in the occupied areas.

Moreover, he has been running Tijuana City for many years, and there is no shortage of his downlines in Tijuana City.

"Mayor Deng? Have you already asked someone to tamper with you in Tijuana?"

Liang Yao then placed Hawke next to Stanford. Hawke was mainly responsible for helping Stanford handle some shady business, such as the tobacco business with Mexico and the human trafficking business.

Over the years, Hawke has handled at least two to three thousand Mexican women sold to California.

When the members of the investigation team fished out one corpse after another in the uniforms of the Western Brigade from the well in front of the surprised eyes of a group of Mexican officials and military officers.

After Liang Yao started to suppress bandits, Hawke betrayed Brandon and switched to Liang Yao.

The weak often do not even have the power to reveal the truth.

"You will arrange the members of the investigation team, and I will be the leader myself." Deng Wenshun took the initiative to ask Ying to be the leader of the investigation team.

However, these Mexican officers guessed the truth of the matter. At this time, they did not dare to say anything in front of the angry investigation team. They could only choose to remain silent.

As a veteran of California journalism, it is also the most important task.

Kruger was a little surprised. He knew the relationship between Deng Wenshun and Liang Yao, and Deng Wenshun was the mayor of Los Angeles. If something happened, he would not only be unable to explain to Liang Yao, but also to Los Angeles.

The chief photographer of "The Daily Californian" participated in the investigation of this incident along with the investigation team.

"If you want to incriminate someone, why bother? You can definitely find it out!" Deng Wenshun said with great confidence.

Collins immediately pressed the shutter to record this precious moment.

The leader of this investigation team is Deng Wenshun himself.

Faced with these so-called irrefutable evidence, the American investigation team can naturally say whatever they want.

The leading American expatriate was William Hawke, who was originally a member of the Boston Company. He stole from the Boston Company and joined the Brandon Bandits, the largest group of gangsters in California at the time.

Unlike the Southern Army's large-scale use of militia volunteers on the Eastern Front, the militia volunteers were directly involved in front-line operations.

However, a militia group is still a militia group after all, and there is a big gap between it and the regular army in terms of combat experience, personnel training level and even equipment level.

Unexpectedly, the old men in the investigation team didn't eat this one at all. They followed the familiar route to a small hotel next to the casino, and then came to a well.

These American expatriates were filled with indignation and tearfully complained to the investigation team about the persecution of them by the Mexican authorities.

"I didn't mean to do anything, Colonel Kruger. Don't accuse someone out of thin air. I just suggested that you send someone to investigate."

The Western Brigade of the Western Front brought militiamen this time, not to let these militiamen serve as cannon fodder on the front line.

Before the investigation team started salvaging, Collins had already set up a camera at the edge of the well.

Mexicans firmly believe that they are not guilty of any evil deeds and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Anyway, they Mexicans have not attacked the US military. Can the American investigation team still investigate white people as black?

Two or three sharp-eyed Mexican officers recognized these corpses in Western Brigade uniforms. They had been alive and well a few days ago. They had gambled money at a gambling table and smoked cigarettes in an opium den with them.

Although the investigation team had not disclosed any information to him before, Collins, who has been working as a reporter for more than ten years, has realized that the small and inconspicuous well in front of him hides mysteries, and there may be big news worth discovering.

Seeing how confident Deng Wenshun was, Kruger also made a guess.

From the founding of California to the tragedy in Los Angeles, from the founding of Japan to the Dutch-Chinese War in Borneo, he has been there.

He has seen this kind of expression too many times.

After taking these photos, Collins did not forget to take a group photo of the Mexican officials and military officers who were pale with fright.

Deng Wenshun was not worried about his personal safety.

"I know what you want to say. Don't worry, Lao Mo doesn't have the courage." Deng Wenshun said.

At this moment, a group of American expatriates surrounded the hotel entrance.

They originally wanted to feed the old men in the investigation team with good food and drink, and then send them back to the north after they had eaten, drank and had fun.

However, since Hawke is backed by Stanford, and Stanford is backed by Liang Yao, the Mexican government is also angry at Hawke but dare not speak out.

Damn it!

We avoided you when we were in Tijuana, so we didn’t dare to mess with you, okay? When did you become a victim too?

The Mexican officials present had already begun to curse in their hearts.

Tijuana Mayor Hernandez was on the verge of tears at this time. It seemed as if he had returned to ten years ago. Back to Texas in 1846, when Texas was still nominally owned by Mexico.

Territory, when he was thirty-eight years old and a congressman in the small Texas town of Beaumont.

This situation and scene are so familiar.
