Chapter 719 (1/2)
The Empire attacked the three tribes on the west coast in spring, and the order was from south to north.
The copacchi people lived near Los Angeles, the chumashi people were driven to San Francisco, and the chenuks lived near Portland and Seattle.
The climate in Los Angeles is very comfortable in March, but Seattle is still cold in March. It was for the sake of climate that the Empire solved the problems of the three tribes on the west coast in the order of South first and then north.
In fact, after eunio succeeded in persuading the copacchi, the eighth division, which had been following eunio to embolden the young diplomat, began to return.
Worried about kopachi's iron head, the eighth division almost sent out the whole division, and even two airships were mobilized.
As a result, the copacchi, who were very hard at that time, were soft this time, so the eighth division had little use.
As for the chumashi, the eighth division only needed one regiment to solve the problem. So after the kopachi successfully joined the Empire, the eighth division left the third regiment behind him, and the other regiments immediately returned to their original positions.
From Los Angeles to Seattle, the straight-line distance is more than 1800 kilometers. If we make a detour due to the terrain, the distance from the copacchi territory to the northernmost Chinook territory alone is more than 2000 kilometers. Although yunio could fly by airship, the army could not fly by airship. Without the support of the army in the rear, yunio did not know that he was certain that he could persuade the other two tribes to submit to the Empire.
As a result, the road of more than 2000 kilometers can only be crossed by horseback. Yunio did not dare to expect to use the imperial warships to transport himself and these soldiers.
The steel warships of Yanhuang tribe are all in the Atlantic Ocean. We can't let the warships go around Cape Horn and drive more than 20000 kilometers to pull this regiment. Even if his Majesty the great chief agrees to this, it is estimated that general Dahe, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, will curse himself to death
Eunio didn't want to offend the army's crazy generals, so he just rode away.
In this way, eunio and his party ran from the south to the north, and in the middle, they convinced the chumashi to join the Empire. By the time eunio arrived at the chenuks' territory, nearly three months had passed.
Then yunio was detained by the head stickers of uruneizu.
As a result, before the third regiment of the eighth division, which was ordered to arrive near the chenuk court, had time to start, a sudden fire upset all the plans.
Whether it's Portland or Seattle, the temperature in June is not high, and Seattle's white weather temperature in June is more than 20 degrees. Normally, this temperature should not cause a mountain fire, but a sudden thunderstorm triggered a disastrous mountain fire.
In the early hours of the day after yunio was detained, a sudden thunderstorm came to the core area of the chenuks.
Chenuks developed on the Columbia River. Their royal court is located on the South Bank of the Columbia River, near Portland. More than 100 kilometers west of the royal court is a famous mountain in the Cascade Mountains, Mount Hood, with an altitude of 3424 meters.
Standing in chenuk court, you can see Mount Hood
The sudden thunderstorm did not bring much precipitation, but the lightning successfully ignited the trees in the Cascade Mountains, and the raging mountain fire immediately swept the area south of the Columbia River in the Cascade Mountains.
