At this time, General Zachary Taylor, the "biggest hero" in the U.S.-Mexico War, led his troops deep into Mexico, fought bloody battles with the Mexican army, and killed countless enemies. At this time, U.S. President James Knox Polk
Under the order, he led the troops to station at a stronghold in the disputed area between the United States and Mexico, and at the same time expanded the troops and waited for the next order.
Historically, General Zachary Taylor's troops have always been at the forefront of fighting the Mexican army. They even invaded the hinterland of Mexico and faced the Mexican army of more than 20,000 people with more than 4,000 troops. After two days of fighting,
, and finally won.
If you want to participate in as many battles as possible, following Zachary Taylor is undoubtedly the best choice.
South of Fort Jessup, outside a US military stronghold in the disputed area between the US and Mexico, many soldiers and civilians are gathering at this time.
Two shabby wooden tables found from nowhere were placed under a big tree at one end of the open space. In addition to the dozen or so soldiers maintaining order, there were two other soldiers sitting at the makeshift tables.
, asked the civilian young people lined up in two lines across the table.
This is a temporary recruitment point.
At this time, the United States did not have the strict and standardized draft regulations that later generations would have. It was normal to recruit soldiers temporarily during wartime. This was the case in all countries around the world at this time.
Among the civilians lining up, there were two young men who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but were very sturdy. Although they were just queuing quietly in the queue, there was something about them all about them.
A distinctive scent.
Their eyes are bright and sharp, and the way they look at others inadvertently is full of wildness and aggression, giving people the feeling of tigers and wolves.
However, the two of them did not do anything out of the ordinary. Instead, after arriving, they stood at the back of a team and lined up. This made many applicants who had occupied other people's positions because of their burly and powerful looks.
There was a hint of contempt in their eyes.
Turns out they are just two weaklings with an intimidating and fierce appearance!
They were probably two young hunters who often wandered into the mountains and forests. They were wild but lacked courage.
Although there were soldiers on the side to maintain order, no one came out to stop the able-bodied people from jumping in line.
The army is already after strong warriors. As long as it does not affect the progress of recruitment, no one will care if a strong and sturdy person takes the position of another weak person. If you can't hold your own position, then
Who can you blame?
On the contrary, those who took someone else's position would be looked down upon by other soldiers.
Seeing that the two people at the end of the queue had no reaction to everyone's different looks, many people withdrew their gazes in boredom. They originally wanted to watch a show, but now it seems they can't.
These two young men, who looked fierce but were very quiet, were naturally Victor and James who were preparing to participate in the US-Mexican War. They naturally felt the attention of everyone, but no matter how strong and fierce these people were, they were just a few
Ordinary civilians, let alone compared with the two of them, were much inferior to the armed personnel of the fur company who were massacred by the two of them, so the two of them didn't bother to pay attention to these "weak". Chen Mo told them
They have experienced the upcoming outbreak of the U.S.-Mexico War and the secret of their growth in strength, so their goal is very clear, to join the army, fight to their heart's content in the upcoming U.S.-Mexico War, and hone their strength.
This is a real war, not a small fight with the fur company before. The two of them can let go, fully exert their full strength, fight to their heart's content, and continue to improve themselves while enjoying the hearty battle process.
strength.
Therefore, the two of them had more expectations and desires for the upcoming battle at this time. Some weaklings who might die at any time in the subsequent battle were not noticed by the two of them at all.
As civilians in front were admitted or eliminated, and new people continued to join the team behind, the two rows of teams moved forward slowly, but the number of people never decreased, while the sun gradually became brighter in the sky.
It became poisonous.
At this time, the weather was clear and cloudless, and the earth was gradually heating up under the strong sunlight. Although it was still only April, the power of the sunlight was not much worse than in summer. The people wearing coats stood under the sun for a long time,
They all felt a little hot.
The people in line were so hot that they were sweating on their foreheads. Many people unbuttoned their clothes one after another, pulling on their clothes and fanning themselves from time to time.
On the other hand, the soldiers in charge of registration under the shade of the trees and the recruits in the first few rows were relatively cool and did not feel hot.
The surrounding soldiers responsible for maintaining order also found a shady place to hide from the scorching spring sun.
At this time, Victor and James just moved under the shade of the tree.
In fact, the two of them didn't mind the sun. Their physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary people, so their body temperature regulation ability was also far superior to that of ordinary people. A little sunshine only made them feel warm.
Just as everyone was lining up and slowly moving forward, the figures of two tall white men appeared in the distance and strode towards the temporary recruitment point. They were obviously here to enlist in the army.
.
The two of them quickly arrived at the open space, but they did not stand at the end of the line and lined up. Instead, they glanced at the two long lines and the people sweating above their heads, and finally their eyes settled.
Under the shade of the tree, there were two figures who, although they were strong, were obviously much shorter than the others.
The childish profiles of Victor and James came into their eyes, making them feel contempt.
"These two little guys are quite strong."
The strong man wearing a gray coat that was much newer than the others present glanced at Victor and James under the shade of the tree, turned to his companions and said with a smile, with a strong sense of ridicule in his tone.
This means that they obviously regard the two of them as targets.
"Just two calves!"
The two immediately looked at each other and smiled, then strode directly towards the front of the team.
The people who were queuing up and the soldiers guarding under the shade of the trees also noticed the two men walking towards the front of the team aggressively. Everyone could not help but show a look of interest on their faces. They didn't know who would be unlucky this time.
If your seat is taken away, will the person who was taken away from your seat return to the back of the queue and line up again like the previous few people?
