The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 210 A War Caused by a Cow

Domingo, the commander of the Florida Border Division, looked at the document in his hand and asked the adjutant who sent the document with an expression of disbelief: "Are you sure this is an ultimatum from the imperial government?"

"It is true, my lord."

"Our cattle were stolen by the Spanish plantation owner and made into a barbecue, and then the empire will send a large army, or will His Majesty personally conquest to seek justice?
It’s impossible for His Majesty not to know the impact this reason will have on the empire..."

Domingo pointed to the document with a constipated expression on his face.

This is the most ridiculous pretext for war he has ever heard in his life!

A war over a cow?
It's better to invade without reason!
No, wars in this era are all about an excuse, even if the excuse is far-fetched, but there must be one after all, this has become the norm, and it is not appropriate to have no excuse.

But this excuse...

"Sir, you also know that the Spaniards across the street are so honest that they can't find any excuse. Although this excuse is far-fetched, the cow has been slaughtered and barbecued, and there is no proof...

Oh no, the Spaniards can't return the cow, so the empire can let go of the invasion..."

"Well, this kind of reason is in line with the style of Emperor Sauron..."

As we all know, Emperor Sauron's style is to use strong words to reason, and he will find an excuse to start a war even if there is no reason!

Whether internally or externally, Yuri gave outsiders the impression that he was known as iron-blooded, and any opposition to his power would be zero-tolerated.

But with Yuri's ability, starting a war is indeed a huge benefit...

After all, the current Yuri Summoning Legion has a scale of [-] as soon as it appears, and it is still established, and its weapons and equipment are also on par with the world's average level. Who can stand it?

Take the plantation owners' armed forces in the Texas province opposite now. The total number of private armed forces is just over [-], which is not enough for Yuri to summon a wave of legions to fill the gap...

But Domingo knew that because the Texas planters on the opposite side were too weak, the first battle of this battle could only be fought by him and Napoleon's First Division.

Generals who have fought against Yuri already know the drawback of Yuri's summoned legion - after destroying the enemy, Yuri's troops will be beaten together.

"How did the Spaniards in Texas respond?

They won't really gather people to fight with Sauron the Great, right? "

Ever since Yuri personally marched and gave a lame ultimatum, the Governor-General of New Spain abandoned the province of Texas.

The under-strength Viceroyalty of New Spain was unable to support the Province of Texas at all, and even many areas in the northern part of the Province of Mexico were abandoned, just to concentrate on holding on.

At the same time, reinforcements from the other three viceroyalties of the Kingdom of Spain in South America are converging on Mexico. The viceroyalty of New Spain is the richest and most powerful viceroyalty of the Kingdom of Spain in the American colonies, and it is also the most important part. Naturally, the Kingdom of Spain cannot see it. With the fall of the Viceroyalty of New Spain.

“The Spanish planters in Texas were divided. Some abandoned their fixed property and took refuge in Mexico with their floating wealth, while the other brought private soldiers and planned to fight guerrilla against the empire to the end.

Of course, there are also those who surrender, but His Majesty is too ruthless. Even if the planters who surrender can keep their plantations, they will be dragged down by the incremental land tax, and all their weapons will be confiscated. It is a matter of time for ordinary landlords.

Not to mention the loss of all political privileges for the planters..."

"Oh, that is to say, some of the Spaniards are cowardly, some are kneeling, and some are crazy, right?"

The cowarded ones are naturally the ones who abandon their fixed assets and run away, the kneeling ones are those who are willing to be exploited by the American empire and become ordinary landlords, and the crazy ones are the ones who gather private soldiers to fight guerrillas...

In Domingo's eyes, playing guerrilla with the empire is indeed a crazy choice.

The fundamental financial source of the plantation owners is the plantation, and the plantation will not follow the guerrillas. Once the imperial army arrived and confiscated the plantation, the guerrillas led by the plantation owners immediately lost their financial resources and supplies. How will they support the private soldiers by then? ?
Do you fight with faith in God?
No matter how firm your faith is, your belly can’t deceive anyone!

So in Domingo's mind, those lunatics fighting guerrillas were tantamount to a death sentence for themselves...

Regardless of whether he was cowarded or kneeling, no matter how big the loss was, he could save his life. If he dared to fight against the empire, with Yuri's tyrant temper, he would either become a forest savage and starve to death, or be beaten to death.

"Well, it seems that there will be no big battle in Texas."

Domingo said to himself in a relaxed mood.

"My lord, there has always been a plan above to transform our Florida Frontier Division into an American Vanguard Division to attack the Governor General of New Spain."

"What?

They are treating us as cannon fodder! "

Domingo's mood, which he had just relaxed, suddenly became tangled.

"Sir, although this plan has not been announced yet, no one can shake His Majesty's will. What should we do?"

"What else can I do?
Could it be possible to rebel and fight against the summoned army of Sauron the Great?

Alas, taking advantage of the pitiful energy of being a vanguard cannon fodder, let's ask for more supplies and troop expansion quota.

Fighting against Texas and Mexico should be able to recruit a lot of stragglers. Even if the situation is not good, we can also recruit some mercenaries. By expanding our troops, we can have a better chance of winning when we are used as cannon fodder. "

Domingo feels that since he joined the American Empire, his political consciousness has been increasing day by day...

Even if you know that your troops will be used as cannon fodder, you still have to bite the bullet and do it!

At the end of the fourth year of Sauron, the province of Texas was occupied by the American Empire without any strong resistance. The recalcitrant guerrillas who went deep into the forest quickly fell apart after eating up the food they carried, or were captured by the Indians in the jungle. The tribe is wiped out...

In today's American continent, guerrilla warfare is a version of hell, because there are a large number of Indian tribes lurking in the jungles and mountains.

Indian tribes that have not surrendered in this era are naturally extremely hostile to the existence of colonists, and conflicts will inevitably break out when encountering small groups of guerrillas.

Not to mention that the Spanish planters themselves had Indian blood on their hands.

As a result, the guerrilla resistance movement in Texas was anticlimactic, causing little trouble to the imperial invading forces.

After the occupation of Texas, the Florida Frontier Division was unsurprisingly reorganized into the American Vanguard Division, and Yuri also graciously agreed to Domingo's request for military expansion.

It's just that the weapons supply has been rejected, and the finances of the American Empire are about to collapse. It is very difficult to meet the supplies of the first division. How can there be extra equipment for Domingo to expand his army?

If you want to expand the army, you can find a way yourself!
