Chapter 679: Debate

Chapter 672 Dispute

After taking down the Kani Fortress Group, the entire army killed pigs and sheep with the seized livestock, held a banquet for all animals to reward the three armies.

As for cattle and mules and horses, they are still valuable means of production in the gap between the two industrial revolutions, and Liang Yao is reluctant to slaughter them.

Thanks to their full preparations for this war, the Western Army had sufficient supplies, and soldiers in the central border areas could usually eat meat.

However, the meat they can usually eat is canned and cured meat. The fresh meat they can eat is basically hunted for deer and American bison. Fresh large livestock meat is also a rare delicacy for the soldiers of the Western Army.

Liang Yao and a group of Western Army principals in Fort Carney were grilling a bonfire and eating meat skewers.

"The Northern Army in Omaha is a new recruit who has just joined the army. We should take advantage of the victory and take over Omaha! Eliminate the main force of the Northern Army!" Sartre grabbed a handful of chili powder in his greasy hand and sprinkled it on the pork skewers.

"I agree with Mr. Sartre's proposal. Although we have just won the battle and won the Kani Fortress Group, the main force of the Northern Army has almost no losses. We should send troops to Omaha as soon as possible to fight the main force of the Northern Army." E.E. Lves's point of view coincides with Sartre, and he also pointed out.

"McClellan is a general who is very good at training soldiers. The longer the decisive battle is delayed, the more unfavorable it is for us!"

"I admit that the quick decisive battle with the Northern Army is the most favorable decision for us, but gentlemen, please don't forget that our flanks are not safe!" Kruger was cautious, reminding Sartre and Elvie. .

"All our elites are here. We can only win the battle with the main force of the Northern Army, and we cannot lose to be precise. Even if it is a miserable victory, it will be a failure."

"Flank? Kruger, are you referring to the Maine Brigade that is traversing to North Kansas?" Elvis turned to look at Kruger.

"We have sent Mexican militia brigades to intercept them. I know that many of us are skeptical of the combat effectiveness of the Mexican militia brigades and do not trust them, but a mere Maine brigade, even if those Mexicans fail to defeat them, We also have enough reaction time to remedy it.”

Elvis trained the Mexican government's army in his early years, and before the war he also inspected William Hawke's Mexican militia brigade.

To be honest, the Mexican militia brigade is indeed not trustworthy. Not to mention that compared with the three regular infantry brigades of 101, 102, and 103, the combat effectiveness of the Mexican brigade is worrying, even compared with other state militia units of the same level, the Mexican brigade's The combat effectiveness is probably the last militia brigade. Although compared with the Mexican government's Mexican militia brigades of the Western Army have been completely reborn.

However, Elvis still believes that the combat power of the Mexican militia brigade can reach the average level of the Northern Army. Considering that the Mexican militia brigade was better equipped than the Northern Army, Elvis believed that under the same force, the Mexican militia brigade could delay the Maine brigade.

"Authentic, those Mexicans are not trustworthy, but the officers of the Mexican militia brigade either graduated from military academy or promoted from the third regiment, they are still trustworthy." Sartre said, "With them, I want to Our wing safety can still be guaranteed.”

The so-called third regiment is the three regular infantry regiments of the Western Brigade before the Civil War, namely the California Infantry Regiment, the Oregon Infantry Regiment, and the Arizona Infantry Regiment.

"But the premise of all this is based on the fact that the enemy of the Mexican militia brigade is only the Maine brigade." Kruger said for a moment.

"Kruger, do you mean there are other Northern Army troops in North Kansas? Do you not even trust our cavalry?!" Elvis said unhappy. He thought Kruger was a little too cautious. .

"North Kansas is very large. The scouts we sent to North Kansas only a few hundred people. Hundreds of scouts were reconnaissance areas equivalent to Belgium. The area as large as the Netherlands was as large as that of the Netherlands, it was impossible to be comprehensive and foolproof." Cruy Ge said.

"Kruger, if we follow your ideas completely and fight only 100% sure, we shouldn't be here." Elvis sarcastically.

"Okay! Quiet!" Liang Yao stopped the two of them. "It is an established strategic decision to fight the main force of the Northern Army. Kruger's concerns are not unreasonable, and the whole army goes to Oma as planned as planned. Ha, I will keep the reserve team at Carney to take the unexpected."

"Reserve? Do we have any additional reserves? Your Excellency?" Kruger asked.

"Prat has more than 2,000 Guangxi soldiers who have been trained and trained similarly." Liang Yao said.

Meanwhile, Australian Sydney is thousands of miles away.

Martin, the head of Umbrella's company in Australia, finally met Sir Henry Barkley, who had just been promoted to Governor of New South Wales.

In the mid-19th century, although Australian colonies (such as Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, etc.) had their own governors, the Governor of New South Wales was actually regarded as the highest in Australia in the entire country due to his historical status and the importance of the place. The Chief Executive is the most important representative of the British Empire in Australia.

"Governor, it's not easy to see you." Martin looked at Sir Henry Barkley coldly.

Umbrella has been engaged in gold mining business in Australia for ten years. Although Umbrella had conflicts with the state governors, Umbrella's gold mining business in Australia was developing smoothly with gold pioneering.

The Umbrella Company and the colonial authorities of various states in Australia had a mutually beneficial relationship until the situation in America suddenly changed this year, and the policy direction of the London authorities in Australia also changed abruptly.

No mistake, one post, one content, one look!

Facing this old friend whom he had known for many years when he was the Governor of Victoria, Henry Buckley's attitude was quite polite. After all, the Australian governors, including him, had eaten a lot in the gold rush feast in Australia over the years.

Of course, this is just one of them. Another deep reason is that the Umbrella Company directly or indirectly controls more than 200 large and small mines in New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and other places, and more than 600,000 miners rely on the Umbrella Company for survival.

If it weren't for the huge pressure from London, Henry Buckley wouldn't mind continuing to cooperate with Martin to maintain the current situation in Australia.

"Mr. Martin, we will always be good friends in private, and the door of the Governor's House in Sydney will always be open to you." Henry Buckley said.

"I'm not here for our personal matters today. I'm here for official business." Facing Governor Barkley's overtures, Martin's attitude did not soften at all.

"Oh? Then let's talk about official business, Mr. Martin." Barkley suddenly put away his smile and said with a straight face.
