Chapter 84 The upcoming battle

Yang Renqiu is a Chinese worker from Guangdong. He came to the United States more than ten years ago and also participated in the construction of the Pacific Railway. After the railway was completed, he was quickly fired like countless Chinese workers. After that, he was trapped in Lakewood, a city not far from Denver. Of course, there were also many Chinese workers with him, most of whom were fellow villagers, and the same as the Chinese workers in Denver. The number of people was also more than 200. Everyone lived together, worked together, helped each other, and lived tenaciously in this cold country.

Later, the anti-China actions in the United States became more and more obvious, and eventually became a normal state, and the living environment of Chinese workers became worse and worse. It was fine if there were fewer people and fewer Chinese workers. There were still a small number of Chinese workers who would not have too hard life, but with a larger population, various news, various emotions spread and influence, Chinese workers would suffer almost 100%.

Yang Renqiu could have had a bite of meat occasionally, but in recent years, he could hardly smell the meat. You know, Colorado is a place dominated by animal husbandry, and the meat here is much cheaper than many places.

However, Yang Renqiu had no feelings about this.

I have suffered a lot and have been living in a difficult environment. What does it mean to have a little more?

Yang Renqiu didn't understand what happened in Denver, which actually caused those compatriots to resist so fiercely... Just because thousands of white people rushed into the settlement of Chinese workers and killed a compatriot? This is definitely impossible. Yang Renqiu told himself with the intuition of a Chinese worker that those compatriots in Denver would definitely not burn Denver because of this.

That's the state capital.

Moreover, Chinese workers have always been obedient and dare not speak to white people if they have a temper. How could they kill hundreds of white people to take revenge like the legendary one? There must be some reason in the middle.

Yang Renqiu is very worried about his compatriots. People who are in a foreign land are unnatural, and they want to get close to each other when they meet their fellow countrymen, let alone in other countries? Compatriots and fellow countrymen can clearly feel the connected bloodline.

However, worry is worry, Yang Renqiu also unconsciously complained to the Chinese compatriots in Denver: You are happy, but you are also causing trouble for your brothers.

There are also anti-Chinese people in Lakewood. White people often pull Chinese workers' braids, beat people, or force people to kneel down, etc., but it is not as serious and intense as Denver. There has never been a case of thousands of people besieging Chinese workers' settlements... Perhaps they can't gather thousands of people, but they are indeed not like Denver. However, after the news of the Denver incident came, the Chinese workers in Lakewood suddenly felt the cold winter meaning: the white people became more and more disliked.

Every day when Yang Renqiu goes out, he has to add something or add more layers of clothes to key parts of his body.

Although it doesn't work much, it's at least better than nothing, right?

The facts have indeed proved his "foresight". These days, he is the least injured among all the Chinese workers who have been beaten by Lakewood. He even secretly felt complacent about this.

But soon he couldn't get it.

Lakewood police suddenly dispatched and arrested all their Chinese workers. Then, he knew about the news: The Colorado House of Representatives had just passed a resolution to expel all Chinese workers! The resolution had been signed by the governor and was immediately implemented... They could no longer live in Lakewood.

That's not all. After they were arrested, the white men did not allow them to go home to pack up their gifts, but escorted them directly... That's right, it was escorted. Originally, Yang Renqiu thought they would be escorted to Cheyenne, the city in Wyoming, and then transported to the Pacific train westward... But the result was unexpected. They were sent directly to Denver. After receiving countless stinky cocks and smelly cattle and sheep into the water, and staying in prison for a few days, they were covered in dirty clothes, and they followed a group of Chinese workers transported from Fort Collins, Greeley and other places to the south.

Then, they knew why: fellow Denver captured the five hundred white militia!

The Emperor of the Lord! Blessings of ancestors!

How did those guys do it? There were only a few hundred Chinese in Denver? They actually caught five hundred whites? They were all militiamen with guns? In addition, Yang Renqiu was fortunate to meet a group of police officers who were "rescued" from the south on the road. It is said that these police officers were originally members of the Denver City Police Department and were sent to hunt down the Chinese fellow villagers in Denver. However, the mission was not successful. They were beaten to death by the fellow villagers, and the best of them were all broken...

Yang Renqiu began to feel cold in his heart.

White people won't give up.

Those fellow villagers are probably going to be in trouble!

"Where do these white men want to take us?" Yang Renqiu sat next to him, Lu Yonghao, also from Lakewood. Compared to Yang Renqiu, he could think of his fellow Denver, Lu Yonghao was even more worried about himself. White men rode horses, Chinese workers took cars... the kind of big carts that were usually used by Chinese workers. Originally, this kind of cart was not something that Chinese workers could do. They did not have such treatment, but the governor had orders, and the Chinese workers who were showing off their power in Gannison were "forced" anxiously. So, these Chinese workers who were innocently led had this "high-standard" enjoyment: on the Colorado Plateau where the cold wind was getting worse, sitting at a big cart that was not covered at all, moving towards an unknown destination in fear. Lu Yonghao was very worried that after these white men took away their fellow Denver, they would even clean up themselves.

"I don't know. Judging from this, it seems like I'm going to enter the mountain!"

Yang Renqiu has been in the United States for many years, but his understanding of the United States is limited to a few well-known terms: Lakewood, Denver, Colorado, California, San Francisco, Rocky Mountain... Of course, there is another most important one: the United States of America and the white people here reject Chinese people! Apart from these, he basically has no understanding of the specific environment of the land he lives in. Although he can barely tell the direction of the white people leading him forward is probably the southwest, he does not know what is in the southwest.

"Enter the mountain?" Lu Yonghao was frightened by his guess, "Isn't it that I want to kill us?"

"Don't scare yourself. If you want to kill, you'll have to go so far?" Yang Renqiu looked at him, very dissatisfied. But even though he said that, when Lu Yonghao mentioned it, he was still furious: What if these white people really want to do this? Some resolution has been passed to bomb all Chinese workers out of Colorado. In this way, even if they are killed, white people can use the reason that they have all been expelled to cover up the fact that they can't see a Chinese in this state...

"Yes, if you really want to kill, will those white people still take so much effort?" Lu Yonghao was not as good as Yang Renqiu. He was very happy to hear his companion scolding and felt much safer: "It would be better if the weather was a little warmer."

"Prosperity..."

Yang Renqiu glanced at him without saying a word. He was kicked out of the city that had lived in for more than ten years and was detained for all his property. He had only one requirement: It would be better if the weather was a little warmer... Could it be that this is the pursuit of his own group in this life?

"It seems that my fellow Denver is a group of real men. It's just a pity, a pity..."

"Finished?"

Guo Jinzhang grabbed Liuzi's shoulder with both hands and asked anxiously.

"Well, I counted it, there were more than 30, each of them had double guns, some with three... The one in the lead was a bit thin, a tall and thin man with a mustache, thin and long, but it seemed quite ruthless... I looked at it from a distance, and it felt like a wolf." Liuzi replied.

"Wolf?" Guo Jinzhang unconsciously twitched the corners of his eyes, "That's what a bunch of fierce people."

"Bad! I've been in the United States for so many years, but I haven't seen any wolf-like person. No matter how cruel you are, can you keep up with Zeng Shaved?" Qian Shide curled his lips disdainfully, "It's still like a wolf... I said Xiao Liuzi, you're dazzled?"

"Uncle Qian, you can't underestimate the enemy." Guo Jinzhang's expression was solemn. "These people have been hidden on the other side of Gannison by those officials. I think they may be dangerous people... Otherwise, why didn't they live in the city with Charlotte and the others? It doesn't seem to be a little bit of noise if they can stay in the wilderness for so many days. I think even the regular army of the United States can't do it."

"Are you scared?" Li Asheng glanced at him.

"I'm afraid? If I were afraid, I wouldn't have come to this day." Guo Jinzhang smiled faintly, "I just don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices."

"What are you going to do?" Hou Nan has been looking at the map since yesterday, thinking about how to escape the pursuit of white people, or even hunting them down... But this task is obviously beyond the scope of the old man's ability. In fact, until now, even Guo Jinzhang can only understand a little bit of things casually... Yes, everyone here can speak a few sentences of English, and no matter how bad the ones are, they can barely engage in daily conversations. But no one can write them. No one in the Chinese workers knows English words, and no one can even recognize the 26 English letters. Guo Jinzhang has been working for so many years after graduation. Although he still knows English letters, he has almost returned the words to the teacher. He basically can't understand the nouns on the map, and he can only use guesses. Moreover, the maps are all hand-painted, which is very different from those standard maps in later generations, and it seems very difficult.

However, it is still a trivial matter to look at the map, and the real difficulty is still the situation they have to face.

Given the current situation of the Chinese workers, it is actually equivalent to a military showdown with the Colorado state government. Of course, the words of the showdown are probably a bit overestimated by people like Guo Jinzhang. After all, compared to the fact, the Chinese workers are too weak and too weak, so weak that they can almost be ignored. But the fact is that their weak side has the upper hand.

This is very dangerous.

Although Guo Jinzhang was only a small worker, he understood a truth very well: no government could tolerate a force like them, especially if it had seriously provoked its own strength to go to justice. Yes, they now have 500 hostages, but they are just like this. This is the one who judges the gentleman with the heart of a villain. If a slut who cares about nothing comes, and brings another army to kill him, all he can do is to suggest how far the Chinese workers can escape. As for those hostages, they can only leave the matter behind.

This is not fear. At this point, it is useless to be afraid. But he must consider the life safety of all Chinese workers... Excessively stimulating a powerful regime is simply a way out for them, just over 200 people. They are not guerrillas during the War of Resistance Against Japan. They are supported by the vast masses of people and can sneak into the people's oceans like a group of swimming fish anytime and anywhere, leaving the enemy unsearchable and unseen. They are yellow people, but this is a white world. If you want to fight guerrilla warfare, it is more dangerous than a group of little Japanese wearing shit curtains to sneak into the anti-Japanese base... The Japanese are at least yellow-skinned, and ordinary people can't tell how different they are from the Chinese, but the difference between them and white people is too big, and you can see through it at a glance.

Hiding in Rocky Mountain may be possible.

But it's winter now.

Although Guo Jinzhang did not know much history, as a student, he was also arranged by the school leaders to watch many patriotic education videos. One of them was about Liu and Deng's army advancing into the Dabie Mountains during the Liberation War. That was Liu and Deng's army... One of the main forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army ran into the Dabie Mountains for a long time. When he came out again, it had changed from 120,000 to 60,000... This was what his history teacher told him. It was a fat man who liked to tell stories and had a good temper. The teacher told them in a class after watching the movie that it was Liu and Deng's army's advance thousands of miles and successfully controlled the Dabie Mountains, which made the Chinese People's Liberation Army achieve a strategic advantageous situation. Because, occupying the Dabie Mountains, you can take Nanjing in the east and Wuhan in the west, and the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

It can be obtained. This genius was also an extremely difficult move, which not only changed the comparison of the strength of the Kuomintang and the Communist army, but also decided the outcome of the world with one move. Chiang Kai-shek's rule of China also began to enter the stage of collapse from the advancing of Liu and Deng's army into the Dabie Mountains, and quickly entered the stage of collapse. It was precisely because of this that Deng Xiaoping began to truly establish his historical position in modern Chinese history. Of course, these are far away, but there is certainly certain that although Liu and Deng's army were very difficult, they were also very lucky. You should know that after discovering that Comrade Xiaoping's goal was the Dabie Mountains, the result of the Kuomintang prediction that this army would be wiped out: the Kuomintang generals are actually quite talented, at least they are talented than Guo, and those officials in Colorado. Are they professional, right?

Moreover, the enemy that Liu and Deng's army had to face in the mountains at that time was not just the Kuomintang's encirclement and suppression army, but also the difficult and difficult living environment. The People's Liberation Army has always been well-known for its firm will and high morale. However, in addition to half of the reduction of personnel, the remaining half of the army was also in a sluggish mood and dispersed military discipline. This shows how hard life in the Dabie Mountains was.

But how big is the Dabie Mountains? How big is the Rocky Mountains? It is a super mountain range that runs across the entire North American continent and ranks among the top in the world!

There are endless wild beasts, and there is also the legend of people who cannibalize the people on the banks of Lake Dona...

It's terrible to think about it.

Therefore, unless he was absolutely certain, he would never take the Chinese workers into the mountains.

However, the performance of Grant and others is really incredible. Yes, they have captured many innocent Chinese workers, intending to use these Chinese workers to exchange militia hostages. It is despicable, but they just hope to get the hostages back?

If your IQ is above twenty, you know this is impossible.

They can rely on it and put it outside the city of Gannison. Although there are only about 30 people, Guo Jinzhang has a feeling that the threat these thirty guys of unknown origins posed to them is probably stronger than the five hundred militias led by Jacques.

"It's better not to alert the snake first. See what they have plans."

Guo Jinzhang decided not to move.

"The enemy's power has been exposed, so there is no need to rush to deal with it. It will make the enemy hide deeper, which will be even more unfavorable to us... The best way to deal with it now is to be prepared and give the enemy a fatal blow in the final showdown. At that time, even if they know, they don't have time to react, so we will have plenty of time to leave here."

He persuaded others like this.

"Have the tent and food delivered to the Chinese?"

"Sent here."

"Did they have any movement?"

"There are many sentinels and they are very careful. However, I took a look and found that there should be more than 200 people in the camp, which means they are almost all... They should be waiting for the moment when the prisoners are exchanged."

"That's good, you go out first."

The Chinese workers did not move because Guo Jinzhang knew that even if Grant and others were good at exchanging prisoners, they would exchange prisoners. America is such a country. Officials need votes from voters and must consider the safety of their lives and property. But as opponents of Chinese workers, Grant and others dare not relax at all. In their opinion, the Chinese workers are not them, nor do they have as much concern. Once something happens before exchanging prisoners, or the Chinese workers realize something, the life safety of the prisoners will be seriously threatened, and even the other party is likely to be like Jinzhang? Guo said two days ago, kill a few prisoners first and show them... They are unwilling to bear this responsibility.

"When will those Chinese workers arrive?"

"It's probably a little more than one day, and you can reach Gannison the day after tomorrow."

"The news has not spread, right?"

Grant was a little worried. His behavior was despicable and shameless. Although he could do everything possible to explain the reasons, such as for the safety of the people of Colorado, I could do everything I could to do, but the fact is that he had touched the bottom line of a government... No civilized government would use such despicable means. When his old friend, Director of the Office of the Campaign, Roberts, immediately expressed strong opposition and eventually left. Because Roberts was very worried that once the Chinese workers' group led by Jin Zhang and Guo could not be eliminated in this operation, their actions this time would begin a precedent: disaster to the innocent!

As long as one Chinese escapes, they may kill everywhere, or even massacre all the white people they meet, or directly capture the white people they meet as hostages to continue their escape... Before that, although they almost destroyed Denver and seriously injured a group of Denver police, neither in Condon Town nor after catching Jacques and others, these Chinese workers did not start a massacre. What does this mean? It means that these Chinese workers did not use violence without restrictions. When facing innocent people, they performed very moderately and restrained!

But it's hard to say after this action.

A government or a civilized government can use such despicable means. What should we care about if they are already on the list of crimes and are facing life-threatening danger anytime and anywhere?

In Roberts' view, even though Gannison has a dangerous terrain and many mountainous areas, it will be difficult for anyone to escape from it as long as he makes a plan. However, it is still difficult to completely eliminate this group of Chinese people in this way. While the complex terrain gives Grant and others the advantage of hiding strength, it also gives those Chinese people the advantage of hiding and escaping?

Unfortunately, Grant, who was just trying to eliminate the group of Chinese workers at that time, did not listen to Roberts's opinion. He just wanted to eliminate the group of yellow people who kept smearing his face and then return triumphantly.

But now, the action is about to begin, but Grant suddenly regrets it: Will this action be so foolproof?

"Charak, will we succeed?"

Grant couldn't bear the pressure and couldn't help asking Chalak on the side.

"I don't know. But we have a great advantage, aren't we?" Chalak's face was also a bit unsightly. "We have several times the number of people, we have guides who are most familiar with the local terrain, and we are still prepared to attack without preparation..."

"How do you know they are not prepared?" Grant asked back.

"I don't know." Chalak glanced at him, "just say that."

"I don't know if you still say it?" Grant was a little dissatisfied.

"Why can't I say it? I always have to find more confidence for myself." Chalak took it for granted, "Our enemies are not easy to deal with. With the Charlotte organization, they have defeated us twice in a row, and they are all in a situation where the number of people is far less than ours."

"That's because they're lucky. But this time it's different, they won't have that good luck anymore." Grant said loudly.

"Then why are you asking me?"

"I'm a little worried..."

"I just said you shouldn't come."

"But those Chinese people asked me to be there."

"So what? Just find someone to pretend to be you?"

"Do you think those assholes in Charlotte would agree?"
Chapter completed!
