Chapter 3054
Wang Anbang, as an entourage, observed the whole process of Morgan's negotiations with the Spaniards, which was a job he applied for with great difficulty.
Morgan's loud and tough statement during the negotiation made Wang Anbang feel as if he had been beaten to death, and he wished he could compete with the Spaniard on the spot.
After finally waiting for the negotiation to end and watching the Spaniard leave, Wang Anbang, who had been blushing for a long time, immediately asked Morgan the question he was most concerned about-when will the fight start?
Morgan smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry?"
Wang Anbang said: "Master, you have released all your cruel words. If you don't fight, it's not good, right?"
Morgan waved his hand and said, "War is only a means to achieve an end, not the end itself. Have you ever thought about what is the purpose of our military means?"
Wang Anbang said: "Of course we will drive away the Spaniards and complete the occupation of San Diego Bay."
Morgan said: "If you only need to achieve this goal, you don't have to wait until you come over. Your father and I can accomplish this when we came to San Diego Bay last year. It is not an exaggeration to say that a battalion of troops is enough to defeat them gone."
Wang Anbang thought for a while and said: "That's to surround the spot to send reinforcements, and wait for them to move reinforcements."
Morgan nodded slightly and said: "San Diego Bay is very remote to Spain, but if they want to control the west coast of North America in the future, they must first occupy this place. If this place is taken by our country, it is equivalent to taking the entire west coast. This is an unacceptable result for Spain. So reinforcements will definitely come, it's just a matter of time."
"And what we have to do is to wait here and eat as many reinforcements as we come, until we drain them all!"
But before the arrival of Spanish reinforcements, the Haihan army stationed here must first act as engineers to expand the size of this stronghold.
Wang Anbang was not interested in engineering construction, but he was unwilling to be an idler, so he took the initiative to apply for the task of logging team.This way you can go out and let the wind go, and you can even go hunting in the meantime.
The wood used to build the stronghold mainly comes from the nearby forests. The felled wood is dragged back by heavy-duty horse-drawn carts, cut, dried, and sorted at the wood processing yard outside the stronghold, and then sent to various construction sites for different purposes.
The natural environment around San Diego Bay and Jinshan Bay is not much different, and the forest resources are very rich.There are towering trees with a height of more than ten feet all over the nearby mountains and fields, which can provide wood such as oak, ash, maple, and beech.
However, the nearby indigenous tribes did not seem to welcome the large-scale deforestation of the Haihan army. They often appeared near the logging area, sitting on horseback and watching the logging process coldly.
Wang Anbang is no stranger to such scenes, having seen similar scenes many times near Jinshan Bay before.He knew that these aborigines had all kinds of totem worship. Every plant and tree in the mountain, and an inconspicuous stone, might be gods in the eyes of these aborigines.
If they touch the taboos of the indigenous people, they will have a stronger reaction and even take action to stop logging.When Jinshan City was being built, there were many conflicts with the natives over logging.
But what Wang Anbang thinks about the natural totem is just Haihan's wishful thinking.What the aborigines really care about is probably that outsiders built towns here, destroying their original living environment.
However, if Haihan wants to settle down and take root here, he will inevitably compete with the natives for survival resources, and conflicts will inevitably occur.On the second day after Wang Anbang joined the logging team, the irresistible indigenous hunters attacked them.
When Wang Anguo arrived at the scene, the natives who launched the attack had already retreated.Two of the logging party were injured, one was shot in the leg by a bow and arrow, the other was hit in the arm by a stone ax in close combat.Both were seriously injured, but luckily none of them were life-threatening.
There are mountains and forests nearby, so it is very difficult to chase after him, and there is a risk of being caught instead.Although Wang Anbang was angry, he also knew that in such a situation, he could not be impulsive. He immediately ordered the injured to be sent back to the base for treatment, and the others stepped up their guard to prevent the other party from returning.
An hour later, a small group of soldiers arrived from the base, and they were reinforcements sent by Morgan after receiving the news.
Wang Anbang didn't think there was anything unusual at first, but then he noticed that the guns on the backs of these soldiers were a bit special, and his eyes lit up immediately.
Their rifles seem to be at least half a foot longer than the standard rifles, and there is a cylindrical sight on the top of the gun body, which is clearly a sniper rifle.And the identities of these people are naturally the snipers trained by Morgan.
The limited field of vision in the mountain environment is actually not suitable for snipers to fight. However, snipers with a larger surveillance range are also capable of dealing with natives with relatively primitive equipment and combat awareness.
These snipers were divided into two shifts to take turns on duty, looking for tall trees near the logging area, and climbing to the high tree branches to set up surveillance points. Once the indigenous people tried to attack again, they would be exposed to their guns.
These snipers wore special camouflage military uniforms, and their bodies and guns were further camouflaged with branches and leaves. As long as they climbed to a height of three or four feet, it would be difficult to recognize their figures.
Although this method is a bit like waiting for a rabbit, the effect is really not bad.Just over two hours later, the snipers at the heights discovered several more aborigines in the nearby forest, quietly approaching the logging area.And the weapons they hold in their hands have already shown that their intentions are not good.
The snipers who were waiting for work did not give them a chance to launch another attack, and decisively fired to stop their advance.
The fellow natives tried to help and take away the wounded, but this kind of rescue was like a slow motion in the eyes of the snipers at high places. They pulled the bolt, changed the bomb, aimed, shot, and took away the next one in a hurry.
And this kind of firepower from high in the forest made the natives completely confused. Until the end of the battle, they still didn't know where the bullets came from.
In the end, four people were killed and one injured, and five aborigines were left in this forest area.Wang Anbang wanted to try to interrogate the wounded, but the officer accompanying him told him that even the aboriginal soldiers in the army could not communicate with the local aboriginals due to the language barrier.And even if the wounded were released, the other party would not be grateful, and would only try to summon more companions to launch a revenge attack on Hai Han.
"Only by turning this place into a restricted area where there is no return will make them fearful and voluntarily give up continuing activities in this area."
What the officer said is very simple and rude, but it is also the only way that can have immediate results.Wang Anbang knew that what the other party said was correct, so he stopped making unnecessary attempts and asked the officers to deal with the dead and injured indigenous people.
