The truck convoy traveled on a road that was built in 1890. Vézé really didn't want to say anything more. At least in order to transport troops faster, the army did try to build roads. Therefore, at least half of the road was paved with some kind of soil, so it was not unbearably bumpy.
When the convoy arrived in San Francisco, all the people in the convoy smiled. Vézé also felt relieved, but he didn't feel happy. In Vézé's original time and space, there was a railway on the west coast of the United States. During the construction of this railway, tens of thousands of Chinese workers died. There were various estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Although Vézé didn't know the specific number, there was no historical railway on the west coast of the United States, which showed the contribution of Chinese workers to the development of the west coast of the United States.
Of course, the Min dynasty also began to send railway engineers to conduct field surveys and used the captured US railway survey data. At least in the report to Vézé from the North American theater of war, everyone believed that by the end of 1891, a railway from the south to the north could be built. This made it much easier for the army to move on the west coast.
Although Vézé should at least hand these over to the comrades in charge, he still had various plans in his mind. In terms of these big plans, Vézé had always been very confident. After all, in the 21st century, Vézé knew the scale of infrastructure in the United States.
Later, Vézé himself felt that it was inappropriate for him to do this. He had to give the comrades in charge of the construction space to think about it. As for Vézé's opinion, it could wait until he heard the report.
Because he couldn't change his mind for a while, Vézé turned his thoughts to praise himself. In the world he was in, no one knew how many Chinese people Vézé had saved. Since Vézé occupied Guangdong in 1855, the manpower of the entire southeast coast has been effectively used. As China recaptured Borneo, all overseas immigrants went to those areas in an orderly manner under the leadership of the government. China was rapidly expanding its territory in the South China Sea. Luzon, as well as Indonesia during the Vézé era, had all fallen into China's hands. Even the Chinese who went to North America went to Canada and other places. No one would go all the way to America to be a laborer.
This lonely self-praise made Vézé feel melancholy for a while. Now, the Min dynasty, from the top to the common people, were all shocked after receiving education and being exposed to the technology and equipment brought about by the progress of science and technology. But this kind of shock was the kind of shock that the creativity and understanding displayed by their own people, and not the inexplicable shock that the ordinary people of China had no concept of foreign countries.
In fact, the Manchu Qing Empire had only been bragging about its great nation when it was on the verge of destruction. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, ordinary people did not have the consciousness of building a modern country at all. However, Wei Ze had passed through so many new Chinese settlements along the way. When the Chinese people shouted "Long live the Emperor", they indeed came from the bottom of their hearts, and when these people shouted "Long live the motherland" with Wei Ze, Wei Ze could see that everyone's pride and even sense of belonging were not false.
Chinese people were used to attributing the strength of the country to a strong leader. Vézé did not think he had the ability to change this idea, and in a sense, this idea was not wrong. What Vézé hoped was that even if there was a strong leader, the people of China could establish an unbreakable idea that the interests of the country were higher than the will of the leader.
His body swayed on the bumpy vehicle, Vézé's brain was thinking about those practical things. As the road became more and more flat, the vehicle was getting closer and closer to San Francisco. Not long after, the vehicle stopped. Some people wearing field army uniforms appeared in front of Vézé. The receptionist said something to Vézé's office director, Lieutenant General Zhou Jinguo, and then the office director, Lieutenant General Zhou Jinguo, said, "Commander-in-chief, the comrades who came to greet you have arrived. Do you want to meet them? "
"Of course. They came all the way to greet us, why should we put on airs? "Vézé smiled.
Soon, the group of people got out of the vehicle, feeling a little dizzy from the bumpy road. It was obvious that many people were happy to get out of the vehicle. Those who had been shaken to the point that their faces were ugly, even though they got out of the car with sullen expressions, they soon revealed relaxed expressions.
"Commander-in-chief, you have worked hard!" Lieutenant General Zhou Xinhua saluted Vézé.
Vézé returned the salute. After shaking hands with Zhou Xinhua and a group of military generals who came to greet him, Vézé said loudly to these people, "We have now fully experienced the hard work of the motorized infantry. We have only been swaying for a few days, and we already feel really uncomfortable. Also, we have to take a boat when we go back. Our comrades will still be galloping across the vast land of North America in the next few years, and such bumps are nothing more than a daily meal. I want to say to everyone, comrades, you have worked hard! "
With a simple sentence, the soldiers behind Vézé, who were a little dispirited after being jolted, subconsciously stopped moving. The soldiers who came to greet Vézé were greatly moved. In fact, for these people, the motorized infantry was also a new challenge for the new forces. High-ranking soldiers also had to learn about the various aspects of the motorized infantry. The vehicles allowed the infantry to save a lot of physical strength, but the infantry had to endure new challenges. Swaying in the vehicle was just one of them.
Now, the commander-in-chief did not complain about his own experience, but talked about the difficulties everyone faced. The senior soldiers of the motorized infantry were indeed very moved.
"Commander-in-chief, for the sake of our motherland, we are willing to accept such a test," Zhou Xinhua immediately replied.
Those who should express their condolences expressed their views. Then the group of people got in the car and continued to move forward. The officers who came to greet them from the north to the south secretly asked the people who came to greet them how far they were from their destination, San Francisco. The comrades who came to greet them told them that they were still 20 kilometers away, less than an hour's drive. The comrades who had traveled thousands of miles breathed a long sigh of relief. It would only take an hour for this kind of torture to be almost over. It was really great.
Zhou Xinhua got into Vézé's car. After the truck, which had been converted into a command vehicle, started to move, Zhou Xinhua introduced the work to Vézé. "Commander-in-chief, we are ready. It depends on the attitude of the Mexican side. Of course, we hope that they can come to San Francisco to see you. But if they don't want to, our troops can also ensure the safety of the meeting on both sides at the border. "
Vézé nodded. The most important reason why he wanted to go to distant California was to comfort the troops. Moreover, it was also very important to meet the current Mexican president. The president had a long name. His name was José Manuel. De? La? Cruz? Porfirio? Dias? Maury? The name that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had sorted out was Porfirio? Dias. This guy used to be close to the United States. Now that the United States was no longer Mexico's land neighbor, the only thing China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs could confirm when they contacted this guy was that he had no intention of opposing China. But the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had asked Porfirio? Regarding the meeting between President Dias and the Chinese Emperor, this Porfirio Barbarian? Dias hadn't clearly agreed either.
Of course, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' latest notice to Vézé, this Porfirio? Dias had already agreed to meet with Vézé, but this guy had all kinds of ideas about the meeting place. Now even Vézé had somewhat lost confidence in this meeting. If he could have a friendly meeting with the Mexican president, it would indeed be beneficial for future development. But this didn't mean that Vézé felt that he had to meet with the president of such a country with a population of several million. In the current North America, Vézé could easily mobilize an army that exceeded the entire population of Mexico to attack this country.
So Vézé sneered. "That doesn't matter. You, a lieutenant general, are giving him face by going to see him. If this guy refuses a toast now, we can make him drink a forfeit after we solve the American problem. "
"Haha. Commander-in-chief, I understand. "Zhou Xinhua laughed. After laughing, Zhou Xinhua began to introduce the war. The current headquarters had a more accepted view. Next year, everyone hoped to be able to split their forces into two groups. One group would go south along the Mississippi River, through the Great Plains, and directly into the Caribbean Sea. The other group would go from west to east in California, also targeting the Caribbean Sea. The two sides would finally meet in New Orleans.
Hearing this plan, Vézé couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head. "This is a good idea, but I don't think it's very realistic. The people of Texas in the United States are tough. According to the Americans, even God is afraid of two guns in each hand. I'm afraid it's impossible to solve this place like we solved the West Coast. "
Vézé knew about the fierceness of the Texans, but the Liberation Army was not. Zhou Xinhua frowned slightly. He carefully considered Vézé's words before asking, "What do you mean, Commander-in-chief?"
Vézé replied calmly, "What I mean is very simple. The only way to conquer Texas is probably to completely clean up Texas. Our regular army will be responsible for solving the resistance in Texas, while the Japanese and Koreans will completely clean up the place. "
Zhou Xinhua looked at Vézé in shock. He never thought that there would be a place in the world that could force the Military Governor Of Vaize to make such a drastic decision. Although the Commander-in-Chief said it casually, it was just the words "completely clean up" and "clean up". Zhou Xinhua was very clear about how the Japanese and Koreans cleaned up the local areas. When the Japanese cleaned up the islands in the South China Sea for China, Zhou Xinhua knew very well. And now in North America, the cruelty shown by the Koreans was no less than that.
So Zhou Xinhua asked, "Commander-in-Chief, you … you didn't listen to someone's words, did you?"
"Little Zhou. For so many years, when have I not taken the lives of our comrades as my primary goal? "Vézé asked rhetorically. He actually didn't want to say more. The battle in the future would not be as simple as Vézé said now. Those crazy Texans would really fight with their lives on the line.
"Then why did the Commander-in-Chief make such a judgment?" Zhou Xinhua asked. He really wanted to know what made the Military Governor Of Vaize make such a cruel decision.
