Wild North America 1846

Chapter 38 The Fragile Balance

About four o'clock in the afternoon

After a long journey, Richard entered the urban area of ​​San Francisco (i.e. San Fernandez) alone with four horses and two wild wolves behind him, causing quite a sensation in an instant.

Firstly, it was because of Richard's reputation, especially his status as a noble royal from an ancient eastern empire. He had become a prominent figure in the new town.

Secondly, this combination is too strange. Almost everyone knows the North American wild wolf, but it is the first time he enters a new town with someone so obediently, and there are two little bear cubs on the back of the packhorse. It is really strange.

combination.

this year

It is not uncommon for ranchers to keep several bears, tigers, and leopards, especially tigers and lions, which are imported from abroad. There are many circuses traveling in Europe.

But adult wild wolves are unfamiliar animals. They are the eternal totems of the indigenous Indian tribes. It is said that only the bravest men in the tribe can talk to the wild wolves.

The story of the warrior and the wolf is naturally highly topical.

With eyes full of complex envy, Richard rode his horse through the streets calmly, raising his arms from time to time to greet the people who greeted him warmly. This welcoming look was like a warrior returning in triumph.

While at Rose Manor

Richard knew that although there were some disturbances in the new town, the local conservative white forces did not take the initiative to initiate provocative actions. The situation was calm, which made his heart finally settle down in his stomach.

There is no way not to worry!

Richard is now in charge of the military force of the Tang Dynasty, and he has to rely on him to charge into battles here and there. The Chinese gunmen of the Tang Dynasty have not really grown up yet, and it will take time.

If you are taken away from your old nest at this time, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

It was after hearing the news that the new town was safe that he had the idea to catch two bear cubs in the wilderness and brought back wild wolves No. 1 and No. 2.

If something happens, as long as it is used properly, the wild wolves wandering in the wild can also be a big help.

When we returned to the general headquarters, a group of subordinates had already greeted us, which immediately caused two wild wolves to bark wildly.

Richard scolded the wild wolf and asked him to calm down. He got off his horse and handed the horse and belongings to the logistics manager Gai Wangshan and others. He also put down the two cubs and led them to the backyard.

go.

Wild wolves are wild wolves after all. Even if they are tamed by Richard, they are still full of wildness. They will show their fangs to any stranger who comes close and launch bloody attacks without hesitation.

Richard took the wild wolf back to the small garden in the backyard, with the moon gate as the boundary. He was not allowed to cross the thunder pond, nor was he allowed to attack the four little maids. He also helped to keep the two little bear cubs from running around.

from a certain perspective

These two wild wolves will unconditionally carry out Richard's instructions and are more trustworthy than complicated humans.

The small backyard garden was originally not very big, only about 0.31 acres, but now there were two wild wolves and two little bears, Ah Jin and Ah Hui, which scared the four little maids.

"Don't be afraid, just treat them as two dogs." Richard explained with a gentle expression, then waved the two wild wolves to lie at his feet, and continued, "Come here one by one, let these two dogs

Once you get familiar with the smell on your body, you won’t be mistaken.”

"Master, this wolf is so fierce, we don't dare to get close to it."

"It's okay, you see...it's okay if I touch their heads like this. Of course, you can't touch their heads. Well, you still have to keep the necessary distance." Richard reached out and touched the wild wolf's head.

, can also show a very submissive appearance.

This made most of the fear of the maids recede. Ah Zhen was a little more courageous. Seeing that the three little sisters were hiding behind her, she mustered up the courage to say, "Master, you have to watch it carefully. Don't do it."

Bite me!"

We can't blame the maid for being afraid. The two wild wolves only obeyed the young master's orders. When the young master was away, they stopped pretending to be tame and showed their ruthless side in the wilderness again.

Especially the eyes of wild wolves, which look completely different from the warmth of dogs, revealing the cold and bloody killing nature, and are extremely aggressive towards anyone who comes close.

Plus, with such a big body, how could girls not be scared after seeing it?

"It's okay, as long as you don't provoke them, they won't attack." Richard patted the wild wolves on the head, and continued to deepen the behavioral norms of the wild wolves through the power of intimidation, strictly prohibiting them from attacking the delicate girls in the backyard.

.

If his bestiality were unleashed, he could tear these little girls into pieces in minutes.

With the encouragement of Richard, the four maids in the backyard, A-Zhen, A-Qiao, A-Hong and A-Xiang, finally boldly walked over and let two wild wolves smell their bodies one after another.

Compared to these two terrifying wild wolves, the two bear cubs, Ah Jin and Ah Hui, seemed a bit silly. After the initial unfamiliarity, they even started chasing the maid and playing around.

After washing up and putting on a set of clean and tidy clothes, Richard walked out of the small garden with relaxed steps and came to the back hall, where Mike Rabiot and others were already here.

There are only two days left before and after leaving

Mainly, Mike Rabiot introduced the situation of the confrontation with John Sutter, the mastermind behind New Town. Judging from the situation he introduced, the situation was not optimistic.

Neither the noble status of the former royal family of the ancient Eastern empire nor the existing power of the Tang Dynasty can stop John Sartre's hostility towards the Chinese forces. This is based on his deep-rooted white supremacist philosophy. The contradiction between the two sides is irreconcilable.

.

The thing that makes John Sutter feel afraid is the in-depth cooperation between Fangcaodi and Datang Society. If the two companies join forces, John Sutter's existing power may not be able to take advantage of it.

Fangcaodi is an English-style town founded by Scottish captain William Richardson. Relying on the good port conditions and ship transportation advantages in the Bay Area, Fangcaodi actually monopolizes the foreign material transportation trade, and its influence cannot be underestimated.

Most of the captains who came ashore to settle down settled their families in Fangcaodi. Compared with the new town with chaotic security, it is more like a high-end community with good security and superior environment, so it is favored by high-end people.

Behind William Richardson, loomingly involved were powerful forces from England, capable of influencing the attitudes of a large portion of the white immigrants in the new town.

Once the two sides start a war

It is more of a struggle of interests, not involving race and color. Those small white groups or large and small gangs that are outside the major forces, as well as bounty hunters or white loners, adventurers and gold diggers, ultimately

Which side will we help fight? I'm afraid money will have to decide more.

Think about it

John Sutter chose a more prudent plan. He will wait and see for the time being and not be in a hurry to start a war. Currently, he is in a fragile balance stage.

After listening to Mike Rabiot's report, Richard could feel the heavy pressure on his shoulders. He thought about it and said;

"Mike, the top priority is that we must discuss in-depth cooperation with Parkview Garden. Please convey my desire for cooperation to Captain William Richardson. I hope we can arrange a meeting as soon as possible.

Point 2: We must continue to strengthen the military strength of the Datang Association. Both George and Embiid have received long-term and formal military training. I want them to go to Rose Manor to help train more than 240 Chinese people there.

Bodywork.

my thoughts;

These guys are trained to serve as our mobile military force hidden outside, which can support New Town or Grape Valley in critical moments.

As for farming, it's just a bit of hard work after training. As long as they are paid enough, I don't think they will complain.

The Tang Association's original expansion plan in New Town and Grape Valley remains unchanged. It still has 200 cavalry and 100 musketeers. It will recruit enough manpower as soon as possible to start military training.

Thus

We will have about 550 military personnel at our disposal, which will be enough to protect ourselves in the complicated situations in the region."

"Mr. President, I very much agree with your opinion and am willing to serve you." Mike Rabiot maintained the elegant French aristocratic etiquette, caressing his chest and bowing in greeting.

"Now that it's been decided, I'd like you to take action immediately. The corresponding weapons and supplies will be allocated by General Manager Gai. For the gap, I will meet with Captain William Richardson in the near future to resolve this problem as soon as possible."

Richard made a final decision simply, then turned his eyes to Gaiwang Mountain and said in a cautious tone; "One more thing, I acquired a very interesting drawing in Sacramento. This is a water tank designed by a high-level engineer.

For the truck-type gold mining trough, you should arrange for some experienced carpenters to follow the drawings as soon as possible and erect this equipment by the American River. In the final analysis, the Tang Association should also actively participate in the gold mining industry, and everything is for development."

After speaking, Richard took out a stack of drawings and handed them over.
