Super Chief

Chapter 720: Wildfire

The empire started its actions against the three tribes on the west coast in spring, and the order was also from south to north.

  The location of the Kopacs was near Los Angeles in later generations. The Chumas were driven to the neighborhood of San Francisco in later generations. The Chinooks lived in the neighborhood of Portland and Seattle in later generations.

   The climate in Los Angeles in March is still very comfortable, but in March it is still cold in Seattle. It was for climate considerations that the empire resolved the three tribes on the west coast in the order of south and north.

   In fact, after Junio ​​successfully persuaded the Kopacs, the Eighth Division, which had been behind Junio ​​and gave the young diplomat courage, began to return.

  Because of concerns about the Kopac head iron, almost the entire eighth division was dispatched, and even two airships were mobilized.

   As a result, the very iron Kopacs were soft this time, so the Eighth Division was basically useless.

As for the Chumas, the Eighth Division only needs one regiment to solve it. So after the Kopacs successfully joined the Empire, the Eighth Division left the third regiment behind Yunio, and the other regiments immediately returned to their originals. ’S resident.

   The straight-line distance from Los Angeles to Seattle is more than 1,800 kilometers. If you detour because of the terrain, it would be more than 2,000 kilometers from the territory of the Kopacz to the territory of the Chinook, the northernmost. Although Yunio could fly over in an airship, the army could not fly there, and if there was no support from the army behind, Yunio himself didn't know how certain he could tell the other two tribes to submit to the empire.

   So the road of more than two thousand kilometers can only be passed by horseback riding. Yunio did not dare to expect to use the Empire's warships to transport himself and these soldiers.

  The steel battleships of the Yanhuang tribe are all in the Atlantic Ocean. Because of this, the battleships can't just go around Cape Horn and drive more than 20,000 kilometers to pull the people of this regiment. Even if His Majesty the Great Chief agrees to this matter, it is estimated that General Dahe, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, will scold himself to death...

  Union didn't want to provoke the crazy generals of the army, so he rode his horses honestly.

   In this way, Yunio and his party ran from the south to the north, and in the middle, there was a matter of persuading the Chumas to join the empire. By the time Yunio arrived at the Chinook site, nearly three months had passed.

   Then Yunio was detained by the head-posted Ulu Nezu.

   As a result, the third regiment of the Eighth Division, which was ordered to arrive near the court of King Chenuk, had not had time to do it. A sudden fire disrupted all the plans.

   Whether it is Portland or Seattle, the temperature in June is not high, and the daytime temperature in June in Seattle is just over 20 degrees. Ordinarily, this temperature should not cause wildfires, but a sudden thunderstorm triggered a catastrophic wildfire.

   In the early morning of the second day after Junio ​​was detained, a sudden thunderstorm came to the core area of ​​the Chinook.

The Chinook people developed by relying on the Columbia River, and their royal court is located on the south bank of the Columbia River, which is near Portland in later generations, more than 100 kilometers west of the royal court, in the Cascade Mountains. A famous mountain, Mount Hood at an altitude of 3,424 meters.

  You can see Mount Hood when you stand in the palace of King Chinook...

   This sudden thunderstorm did not bring much precipitation, but the thunder and lightning succeeded in igniting the trees in the Cascade Range. The raging fire immediately swept the Cascade Range south of the Columbia River.

  The area where King Chinook Court is located is located in the plain zone between the coastal mountains and the Cascade Mountains, but it is very close to the Cascade Mountains. In particular, there are many Chinook people living in the mountains, so when this sudden wildfire comes, the entire Chinook tribe is immediately confused.

   Mountain fire is a very terrifying natural disaster. No matter what the cause of the mountain fire, once it cannot be controlled, the consequences will be catastrophic.

  In the United States in previous lives, wildfires often occurred, especially in the Rocky Mountains. When the stone bears crossed, the wildfire in northern Los Angeles almost burned Los Angeles. Several satellite cities in Los Angeles suffered heavy losses in that wildfire.

   The wildfire occurred in the highly modernized Los Angeles, but it is still difficult to control. In this era, once a mountain fire occurs, it is basically impossible to cure. You can only wait for heavy rain or wait for the woods on the mountain to be burned out.

   As for people, just one word-run!

   If you run faster than the wildfire spreads, you can survive. If you run slowly, you will inevitably be swallowed by the wildfire and burned to ashes.

   So when the mountain fire ignited, the Chinook people who originally lived in the mountains to the east ran down the mountain desperately. Although many people escaped, many of the Chinook people were still trapped on the mountain.

   Yes, the soldiers of the Third Regiment of the Eighth Division have not done anything to the Chinook. Let's put out the fire first!

   The soldiers in the Third Regiment of the Eighth Division are mostly young people around the age of eighteen or nineteen. These people have received basic tribal education when they were young, and they have all studied mathematics, physics and chemistry or history and geography.

These young soldiers naturally understand the horrors of natural disasters such as wildfires, earthquakes, and hurricanes, and they also know very well ~lightnovelpub.net~ In the face of such severe natural disasters, all people must unite Fight against this natural disaster together. The hatred between individuals, tribes, and even tribes should be temporarily put aside in the face of such natural disasters.

   Even if it is temporarily hand in hand with the enemy, we must fight against this kind of natural disaster together.

   The third regiment of soldiers who suddenly appeared scared the Chinook. But then they discovered that these heavily armed men did not attack them, but put down their weapons and turned and rushed to the fire.

   The actions of the soldiers of the third regiment moved the Chinook people, including Ulu Nezu. Especially when the soldiers of the Third Regiment rescued one after another from the tribesmen who were besieged by the wildfires, these Chinooks also began to follow the soldiers of the Third Regiment to fight fires and rescue people...

   As one by one mountain forest was felled down, one after another fire belts were opened up, and the mountain fire was gradually brought under control.

During this period, the third regiment of more than 1,000 soldiers rescued more than two thousand Chinooks who were besieged by wildfires, and the third regiment also had hundreds of soldiers burned, and four soldiers died in the fire. ...

   When the wildfire disappeared completely after a heavy rain, more than ten days had passed.

When Ulu Nezu saw the third regiment who was exhausted and could fall asleep sitting on the ground, and then looked at the tribesmen who were rescued by these young soldiers, Ulu Nezu was finally moved completely. .

   Yunio was released, and Ulu Nezu also led the high-levels of all the tribes, in front of tens of thousands of tribes, declaring obedience to the Dahua Empire!
