Chapter 462: Familiar Taste

"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' blunder disrupted Kruger's original plan.

He was born in the Prussian army, and 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, all have their own militia groups.

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

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

San Diego, for example, has only one militia battalion.

However, a militia regiment is still a militia regiment 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.

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.

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

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 security and order in the occupied areas.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"You will arrange the members of the investigation team, and I will be the leader myself." Deng Wenshun volunteered to be the leader of the investigation team.

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

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.

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

Deng Wenshun was not worried about his personal safety.

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

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

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

The leader of this investigation team is Deng Wenshun himself.

Naturally, the Mexican side did not dare to neglect such an investigation team with such high standards, so they had no choice but to escort these American uncles with a smile to the city for investigation.

Mexicans firmly believe that they are not guilty of 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 into black people?

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

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.

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.

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 eloquently: "This well has a strange smell! There must be something foreign under it! Quickly fish out the foreign matter below!"

The Chief Photographer of The Daily Californian accompanied the investigative team in the investigation of this incident.

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

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

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

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

Although the investigation team had not revealed any information to him before, Collins, who has more than ten years of experience as a reporter, has realized that this humble well in front of him hides mysteries and may have big news worth discovering.

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

When the members of the investigation team fished out one body 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.

Collins immediately pressed the shutter to record this precious moment.

After taking these photos, Collins also took a group photo of the Mexican officials and officers who were frightened and pale.

He had seen too many such expressions.

Damn, these are not American soldiers!

Two or three sharp-eyed Mexican officers recognized that these corpses wearing Western Brigade uniforms were alive and kicking with them at a gambling table and smoking in a tobacco shop a few days ago.

They estimated that these people were probably gamblers and smokers who borrowed high-interest loans from the Loyalty Society and could not pay them back. The Loyalty Society made them into Western Brigade uniforms and threw them into the well.

However, even if these Mexican officers guessed the truth of the matter, they dared not say a word in front of the angry investigation team. They could only choose to remain silent.

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

Faced with these so-called ironclad evidence, the American investigation team naturally said whatever they wanted.

At this time, the entrance of the hotel was surrounded by a group of American expatriates.

These American expatriates were filled with indignation and tears, accusing the Mexican authorities of persecution against them to the investigation team.

The leading American expatriate was William Hawke, who was originally a member of the Boston Company. He stole the Boston Company's front and turned to the Brandon gang, the largest gangster in California at that time.

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

Liang Yao then placed Hawke next to Stanford. Hawke was mainly responsible for helping Stanford deal with some shameful businesses, such as the opium business with Mexico and the human trafficking business.

In recent years, at least two or three thousand Mexican women have been sold to California by Hawke.

However, since Hawke was backed by Stanford and Stanford was backed by Liang Yao, the Mexican government dared not speak out against Hawke.

Damn it!

We avoided you in Tijuana and didn't dare to provoke you, okay? When did you become a victim?

The Mexican officials present had already started cursing in their hearts.

Tijuana Mayor Hernandez was also in tears at this time. It was as if he had returned to ten years ago. Back to Texas in 1846, when Texas was still nominally a territory of Mexico. At that time, he was only 38 years old and was still a congressman in the small town of Beaumont, Texas.

This scene, how familiar it is.
