July 4, 1862, the United States' Independence Day, and this day is definitely not a festival for the people of San Bernardino!

Bang bang! Bang bang!

"Ahhhh!"

"Comrades! Go forward!"

"Ula!"

"God! Where did this bastard come out?"

"Run! These guys are so awesome!"

As the sky was dawn, a large group of guys holding weird rifles, wearing green clothes but chaotic styles, had no nonsense and said no hello, so they came over!

There are not many residents in San Bernardino. It is now a transit station. When the Spanish were still there, it was still a settlement, but now it has become a United States, so this place simply becomes a cargo station.

People from the east had the most supplies, while those who came out of California were mostly workers, mainly Chinese workers, and they were taken to the Midwest to mine.

"Kill! Kill all the others except women and children!"

"Comrades! The occupation of San Bernardino is His Majesty Clint Lee's sacred command! It is also the most important part of our guide to California! Comrades! It's glorious!"

"glory!"

"Fight for Your Majesty!"

“all-hail-lee!”

Okashi rode on a chestnut war horse. He waved his sword. He had just been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and made him have a different temperament. He was firm and motivated to command the battle!

In such a place, the population is less than 500 people, so there is no suspense in the entire battle. Because these fierce guys rushed over, there are more than 3,000 people!

That's right. Ocassi led 3,000 people, which was the main force of the California Revolutionary Army. Of course, this was Li Mengyang's arrangement. What the emperor of the American Socialist Democratic Empire wanted was to take this place with lightning speed, San Bernardino!

The battle ended soon, and Ocassi said to the messenger.

"Report our victory to His Majesty the Emperor. We have completed the preliminary combat mission. I, Okashi, will definitely lead all the revolutionary soldiers and stay here without moving!"

"yes-private!" The messenger saluted, and then ran west with his horse's heads...

San Bernardino guards the old Spanish path. The name of this road can be found who built it, but in fact, it should not be said to be built at all. This road existed naturally, and the Spanish just discovered it.

What exactly is California like?

To the west is the Pacific Ocean, to the east is Mount Nevada, and to the east is Rocky Mountain. So, the mountains and ridges block the entire state. But there is a gap. This is the Spanish Trail!

This path is of course very familiar to Li Mengyang. He was sold to this path, so he was very clear about the importance of this path.

Actually, it's not very important!

That's right, that's it. The old Spanish trail itself is not a very important passage. Anyway, this is the case for California. It's now in 1862, and at this time, there were three road routes leading to the outside world.

The three roads are like this. One is to walk the south, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and then follow the southern border of the United States, passing by Fort Yuma in the middle, passing through Tucson to El Paso, so that you can enter the east.

Regarding this path, Li Mengyang seems to remember that he heard of a movie called "The Decisive Battle with Yuma Town" in later generations.

The other one is to go east from Sutter Fort, Sacramento, cross Mount Nevada to Carson City, Utah Junshi, from here to east and then cross Rocky Mountain to reach the east.

These two are actually postal routes, which are the places where the postman used to ride a horse, and the third one is the old Spanish trail.

It can be seen from the map that the one in the north is the road to Sacramento, which is to cross the mountains and ridges, while the two roads to the south are relatively flat, especially the old Spanish trail. This road actually needs to cross the desert, but this road follows a five-square river. This river is intermittent and unknown, but when you want to pass the desert, you must follow this road, which should be said to be walking along the river!

Li Mengyang was transported from this road by human traffickers, how could he not know?

Moreover, the two roads in the south are connected, and they all pass through Los Angeles.

In other words, occupying Los Angeles and San Bernardino is equivalent to cutting off two of the three paths between California and the outside world, but.

This really doesn't matter!

That's right, it should be said that these three channels are not particularly important to California, because if these three channels rely on them to transport materials and personnel, it would be a drop in the bucket.

The California gold rush began in 1848, but in fact, the real large-scale influx of gold rushers was in 1849, and they were called the '49 Gold rushers', why? It's because they were 49 years old.

This is a journey to hell from the east to the west!

I don’t know how many gold diggers with dreams died on the road. This road of gold digging is actually full of blood and tears.

To be honest, after so many years, the situation has been much better, but anyone understands that land transportation is too difficult, so it is better to think of other ways.

Yes, this is to go to the sea and land, connecting with the east through Panama, and that Vanderbilt is the home that he found!

In other words, California does not rely on these three paths at all. Although these three paths are used, they are not used much. At most, they are sent a letter. Therefore, these three paths are actually not important.

but!

What's the situation now?

Li Mengyang had just captured Panama and seized ships from California. This was equivalent to cutting off the sea routes of California, which was equivalent to blocking California at sea!

Of course, if we want to argue, isn’t California not blocked? Isn’t the coastline still very free? A big port like San Francisco is still under the control of the United States?

Yes, it was not blocked, but once Panama is out of reach, how can California connect with the East?

The only way is to walk to Cape Horn in South America. Not to mention that Cape Horn itself has been full of strong winds all year round, and it is biting cold. Just talk about this distance, a ship thinks that it will take more than 7,000 nautical miles to the east!

Then go somewhere else?

Hawaii is not from the United States yet. Although California is also a territory of the United States, its development level is incomparable to California. Moreover, it is still Rocky Mountain to the east, and Alaska to the north. What is it like? It was so primitive that it was sold at a low price in Tsarist Russia!

So, blocking Panama is equivalent to blocking California's sea routes!

And now, Li Mengyang has taken Los Angeles, which cuts off a path, and San Bernardino...

On July 7, a horse came east.

"Report to Your Majesty!"

"Speaking!"

"General Ocassi has taken San Bernardino! And he also said that he will hold on to the death as planned! Never waver!"

"very-well!" Li Mengyang was very happy. He directly ordered the messenger: "Tell General Ocassi that if you can defend San Bernardino in this battle, the star will not be far away!"

"yes-private!" The messenger changed his horse and went east again!

Great! Everything went as planned perfectly!

Li Mengyang waved his fist excitedly at this time, because his combat plan had been initially achieved!

This is the situation now.

California has been blocked at sea. Li Mengyang does not think that the weak US Navy can capture Panama. It is important to know that there are several temporarily modified warships commanded by Samuel DuPont at sea, so the sea route has been strangled.

On land, Li Mengyang has now cut off two external routes in California, and the Southern Post Road and Spanish Trail are under the control of Li Mengyang!

Now there is only one road left for California, that is the postal route to the north, but this road, hehe...

Anyway, Li Mengyang knew very well that if the Americans could really use such a mountainous postal route to transport goods, then we would also recognize it!

In this way, Li Mengyang’s combat plan is to block California?!

Yes! It’s just blocking California, this is an extremely bold combat plan!

Because Li Mengyang only has so many people? At the beginning, there were only 20,000 people, but now there are 25,000 people. Just a few people actually think of blocking a state in the United States, which is still a relatively large state.

This ordinary person definitely doesn’t even dare to think about it!

However, with all current conditions, this strategic goal can be achieved!

"Hehe... If I hadn't been sold that time, I wouldn't have thought of this solution!" Li Mengyang was also a revisiting place. When he recalled, he really felt a little emotional...

Li Mengyang's formation has been arranged. What are the California government in the United States?

"What? Los Angeles is lost? San Bernardino is lost?" In the California state government in Sacramento, the guy John Neilly Johnson was stunned when he saw the report sent.

"I said John, it's useless to be anxious now!" The person who spoke was William T. Wallace, who is an old friend of John Johnson, now the attorney general in California.

And what about Johnson?

"How can I not be in a hurry? I am the governor for half a year, but at this time someone is going to attack California. This is... You said, why am I so unlucky? Isn't there any news before that the rebels are going to log in to San Francisco?"

Governor?

That’s right, the current governor of California has become John Neley Johnson again! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
