Cameron's confidence actually comes from his familiarity with war!

What does a war require?

The battlefield, soldiers, guns, even military pay, food and grass... These things can be seen on the surface, but in fact, there is one of the most important things under all this, that is information!

What information?

If you want to attack a place, you want to occupy a place, and you want to colonize a place, then you will not talk about anything else first, you have to know what's going on in that place, right?

The simplest logic is that if you want to colonize that place, you must first know that there is such a place, right?!

Yes, it’s just this logic. From a distance, great voyage is also a great geographical discovery. Why did it start in the 16th century?

Because at that time, Europeans knew that there was an American continent and that there was a southern Africa further south!

I didn’t know before. In the past, not only was there a Sahara desert, but I didn’t dare to walk on the sea, because the navigation chart marked the word, hell (hell)!

And the same is true for our China. How far are we from? In the past, there were still Ottoman Turkish Empire blocking the road. How could they know the real situation?

In the eyes of Europeans, they did not know the situation of the Chinese. The one they were most familiar with before was the Ming Empire. What a powerful empire it was, but unexpectedly, if it was replaced by the Qing Empire, how powerful would the Qing Empire be?!

So, just before the First Yafan War in 1860, the British had been debating whether they wanted to use military force against the Qing Dynasty for a long time. They didn't know the reality of the Qing Dynasty. They didn't know that the Qing Dynasty had become corrupt to the point of debris. They felt scared!

After a fight, there was no need to say anything. Then I learned step by step that I could eat tofu step by step.

That's Britain that has experienced the Industrial Revolution. They are still like this, and they don't know, what about other countries?

In other words, information is very valuable and very difficult to obtain in this era.

And Cameron's confidence comes from this. He knows that the tyrant is Clint. Li is very smart, powerful, and strong. But even if you are so strong, do you know the situation in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi in the United States now? Do you know the local information?

Judging from the specific information of Clint Lee, he should be the thief Clint Eastwood. He went from the west to the central and then to the east, but the thief's activity locations were mostly northern states in the United States at that time, and now they came from Texas and went south. Will the tyrant know about the crucial thing about information?

It should be said that the old man Cameron may have a bad character, may have a rather lewd appearance, a shabby old man, but this person is really well-known, his confidence is very reasonable, and this truth is also very correct in this era.

Normally, in this era, it is not easy to obtain these information, such as the geographical conditions, cultural conditions, and traffic conditions of the state of Texas. Well, as for Li Mengyang, maybe with the help of Indians, it can be stronger, but what about other states?

Not even talking about these, many people don’t know the importance of these information. This is how normal humans in this era are. They only need to know the things within 20 kilometers of their homes, people and their interpersonal relationships are only enough to stay within this 20 kilometers of range. No matter how far they are, there is no need!

This is the current era, when a person’s normal information configuration is enough, and he can do it. No matter how much he knows, he can become a successful person.

Maybe that guy Clint Lee knows a lot, but he is already a well-known writer and a newspaper tycoon... he already has a lot of identities. His knowledge and information he has mastered are almost the same, right? How high can he be?

Therefore, based on this judgment, the American Empire wanted to come from Mexico and attack the American mainland from Delnot, that is, El Paso, eastward. If the tyrant was not a fool, he would need to do a lot of information collection work. This work is difficult and time-consuming!

Cameron's judgment and his theory were right. After he told Lincoln this truth, Lincoln also agreed very much, because it is true that it is. Therefore, our United States should pay attention to the American Empire, but we don't need to panic. We can do it in an orderly and step by step!

It should be said that this judgment from the Lincoln administration in Washington is correct and understandable in this era.

However, they didn't know one thing, that is, Li Mengyang is not an ordinary guy, he is a time traveler...

In March 1868, the small town opposite El Paso had completely changed. At this time, green camp tents appeared a distance from the River Grande. These camp tents really seemed to be springing up after a rain, and somehow appeared.

El Paso is the number one military center of the US military on the Mexican border. It is actually a prominent part of Texas to the west. Because the current Jun-South of New Mexico is still a Jun-South state and has not yet been officially established, so it is done in terms of administrative divisions. Otherwise, this place should be from New Mexico, which shows the importance of this place!

At this time, the number of US troops stationed in El Paso was not large. Sherman had taken away all the ones she could take away, but now he has not come back. Yes, his escape route is wrong. It will probably take at least half a month to get here, but now Mexico is already in a big army!

The American soldiers were very nervous. They were originally on the other side of the river, which was in Delnot, but when they saw the army of the American Empire, they ran over directly, but what should they do now?

Moreover, not only are there those tents, but I don’t know when. You can see it with a telescope on the other side of the river. Many cannons that you have never seen before appeared!

That is definitely a cannon. Because the federal soldiers also know the cannons and other cannons, but the styles of that cannon are really different. Not only one cannon, but also two cannons on the top and bottom, I don’t know what they are for.

But now...

"Comrades! Angle 45! The first gun regiment, one test shot!... Let it go!"

Jiang Yun waved his little red flag again, and then the No. 1 cannon operator pulled the line!

Boom! With a cannon, a ball of fire spewed out of the muzzle!

Yo~ Yo~ The shells screamed in the air. They almost instantly crossed the River Grand, and then!

Boom!

"Fake!"

"Oh God!"

"Mom! I want Mom!"

Where have these El Paso defenders ever seen such fierce artillery fire?

This gun was tested, there was no way. I had to do this these days. I first fired to see the effect, and then corrected it. In 100 years, artillery soldiers actually did this, so this gun actually did not kill anyone.

But Willie was so terrifying this shot!

That power, the wave of air that has been stirred up. People who are far away cannot stand firm, as a howitzer. For infantry, even this howitzer is still relatively primary at this time, but its power is too scary.

And there is another point, that is, the cannons on the United States do not have this range. Before, the US military in El Paso had the advantage of artillery range, otherwise the Imperial camping position is a bit farther away, but now, the range advantage has dropped. Although it is a howitzer, it is much farther than the cannons on the United States!

"Adjust!" Jiang Yun shouted again. After the first test shot, adjust the angle immediately, and then it will be easier to get down.

Boom! Another shot!

"I'm a god!!"

This time, the El Paso defenders were not calling out to God and I, they had no chance to shout, because this shot really hit them!

"Great!" Jiang Yun looked at the telescope and said that he was very satisfied. Then there is no need to say anything about it, "Comrades! Scare!"

With a wave of the little flag, let’s come!

Boom! Boom!...

Across a big river, I can only hear the sound of explosions everywhere on the other side!

"Ahhhh!"

"Run!"

"nonsense!"

Less than ten minutes after the defenders of El Paso were bombarded by the American Empire, they began to flee...

All of this naturally fell into Li Mengyang's eyes. He was watching it with a telescope in a relative high ground in Delnot.

To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied because his artillery now uses telescopes to roughly correct the bounce point. This matter... It seems that the mirrors used by artillery soldiers are different? They are the kind that stretched out, like the upper part of the shape.

But Li Mengyang didn't understand this kind of thing. Even if he painted it, it would be useless, because the optical instrument is obviously the key to the inside. He can draw a rough idea, but what should he do inside?

If you say that Li Mengyang has drawn a lot of things, just like the howitzer today, you can see that there are two more tubes. Actually, Li Mengyang doesn’t know what the use of that thing is, but he has watched it. There are in the movie "Three Battles"!

Well, I won’t say much about the life of an abstract artist.

But, however, it was also very smooth to take El Paso. According to the map and the messages given by the Indians, here in Texas, after opening the portal of El Paso, the empire was a vast open land!
