Chapter 426 The white eyes from the two little guys!

With the victory of battle after battle, even directly into Mexico, Zachary Taylor's reputation in the country became more and more famous. At the end of June, when Zachary Taylor was leading his troops to fight in the Mexican border area, he

He once again received a new appointment from the president and was officially promoted to major general.

In July, Zachary Taylor received a commendation from Congress for his outstanding performance in the war.

However, all this did not affect Zachary Taylor's actions at all. He still led his troops and continued to move deeper into Mexico.

Victor and James also have no feelings about Zachary Taylor's promotion. They still regard him as an old man who leads them to fight. As for awe, admiration, etc., I am afraid that only Chen Mo in this world has this qualification.

Already.

Although Zachary Taylor led them to win consecutively, the two of them did not think that the old man Taylor was very powerful. In their hearts, if Chen Mo led them, he would definitely be a hundred times better than this sloppy old man.

Although the two of them had some blind worship of Chen Mo, they were right. If Chen Mo led the team, it would not be a hundred times stronger, but at least they would be able to detect the enemy's accurate situation in advance from more than ten kilometers away.

Prepare in advance and deal with it calmly.

Moreover, in the world of "Captain America", Chen Mo often led special forces to carry out assaults and encirclements behind enemy lines. His rich combat experience, developed brain, quick thinking, and superhuman learning ability also gave Chen Mo strong skills in tactics and command.

ability.

However, Chen Mo is not interested in these wars. He does not need to improve his strength through fighting like Victor and James. Fighting with ordinary soldiers can no longer help him improve his fighting skills and strength. Only those with the same level as him can

Or a stronger opponent can stimulate his potential and improve his strength.

Therefore, he did not participate in the Mexican-American War with Victor and James, but temporarily stayed in the west, steadily developing his many ranches while continuing to accumulate funds, waiting for new opportunities to come.

Chen Mo's ranch has become the best place for pioneers heading to the west. The job is stable, the salary is generous, and most importantly, there are no risks. It is much better than opening up wasteland for farming or grazing by themselves.

If they do it themselves, if they encounter natural or man-made disasters, crop yields are reduced, livestock become sick, are killed by wild beasts, or are stolen by cattle thieves, they simply cannot afford the losses.

But it's different under Chen Mo.

Nowadays, who doesn’t know that all the large ranches in the entire West are owned by the same mysterious rich man with strong financial resources. It is said that his wealth has long surpassed that of the richest man in the United States. The amount of money is simply immeasurable. Not only does he own a large number of ranches in the West

, also owns a huge farm in the eastern region, and in addition to this huge agricultural and animal husbandry empire, he also owns many more profitable industries. Even if any natural or man-made disasters really happen, it will not be able to shake his foundation at all, so in the pasture,

The job can be said to be extremely stable and very secure. Being able to become a cowboy at Chen Mo Ranch is a good thing that many people are fighting over.

With the development of the ranch, more and more livestock are being raised, and the demand for cowboys is also increasing. A large number of pioneers have joined Chen Mo's ranch. Most of the hundreds of thousands of people in the entire west are here.

The work of Chen Mo's subordinates is spread across Chen Mo's vast ranches in several states.

Moreover, this number is still increasing with the increase in immigrants coming to the west to open up the wilderness and the continued development of the ranch in Chen Mo's hands.

While developing his own ranch, Chen Mo also paid attention to the war situation in the south.

At the end of September, Zachary Taylor led his troops to attack Monterrey, an important city in northern Mexico.

After three days of fierce fighting, the Mexican garrison generals gave in and asked Zachary Taylor for an eight-week ceasefire, allowing the Mexican troops to withdraw.

Zachary Taylor saw that his American troops suffered heavy casualties, and as they continued to advance into Mexico, their material supply lines had been stretched very long. If this continued, it would be very easy for locals to cut off their supplies and turn them into a massacre.

A lone army.

Zachary Taylor believed that the conditions proposed by the other party were the best possible results for both parties at the time, so Zachary Taylor finally agreed to a truce.

Two months later, all the Monterey garrison evacuated, and Zachary Taylor led his troops into Monterey and occupied this important town in northern Mexico without a fight.

Although Zachary Taylor's action avoided a large number of casualties among US soldiers and ultimately succeeded in capturing Monterey, his action still caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Needless to say, Victor and James were eager to fight. In the past two months, the two little guys had been giving old man Taylor a lot of looks. Zachary Taylor was also deeply helpless towards these two extremely bellicose boys, and every time

He glared back angrily.

In addition to Victor and James, two extremely bellicose and unsatisfied beasts, Zachary Taylor's action also aroused a lot of criticism in Washington.

President Polk was very dissatisfied with his self-assertive style, but in view of his successive victories since the Mexican-American War, his reputation in the United States has increased and he has long become a war hero in the eyes of the people. It is very likely that he will

He became the future presidential candidate of the Whig Party. Therefore, President Polk did not criticize him more for this incident. Instead, in November, he ordered him to stay in northern Mexico and sent General Winfield Scott to attack Mexico by sea.

City, and ordered that four-fifths of Zachary Taylor's trained elite troops and war supplies be transferred to General Scott for use.

The news was quickly learned by Mexico.

Zachary Taylor, who entered Mexico from the disputed area between the United States and Mexico, has long been a thorn in Mexico's side. It has mobilized troops to encircle and suppress him many times, but in the end they all ended in failure. In every battle, the Mexican army was

There were heavy casualties, and even among the last surviving soldiers, a rumor gradually emerged, claiming that the soldiers led by Zachary Taylor were devils and could not be killed no matter how much their bullets and bayonets attacked.

Moreover, these rumors became more and more common as they fought against Zachary Taylor's troops. Many soldiers believed this without a doubt. When they heard that they were going to fight Zachary Taylor's troops, they all became timid before fighting. Their morale dropped.

It was a huge blow, and he was no match for Zachary Taylor.
