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.
The chenuk court is located in the plain between the coastal mountains and the Cascade Mountains, but it is very close to the Cascade Mountains. In particular, there are many chenuks living in the mountains, so when this sudden mountain fire comes, the whole chenuks are in a mess immediately.
Mountain fire is a very terrible natural disaster, no matter what the cause of mountain fire, once it can not be controlled, the consequences will be disastrous.
Previous generations in the United States often had wildfires, especially in the Rocky Mountains. When the stone bear passed through, the mountain fire in the north of Los Angeles almost burned Los Angeles, and several satellite cities of Los Angeles suffered heavy losses in the mountain fire.
The wildfire happened in Los Angeles, a modern city, but it is still hard to control. In this era, once there is a mountain fire, it is basically incurable. We can only wait for the heavy rain or the forest on the mountain to be burned up.
As for people, just one word - run!
If you run faster than a mountain fire, you can survive. If you run slowly, you will be swallowed by the mountain fire and burned to ashes.
So when the mountain fire started, the chenuks who originally lived in the eastern mountains fled to the foot of the mountain. Although many people escaped, many chenuks were still trapped on the mountain.
Well, the soldiers of the third regiment of the eighth division can't fight against the chenuks. Put out the fire first!
Most of the soldiers in the third regiment of the eighth division are young people about 18 or 19 years old. When they were young, they all received the basic education of the tribe, whether they were students of mathematics, physics, chemistry, history and geography.
These young soldiers naturally understand the horror of natural disasters such as mountain fires, earthquakes and hurricanes, and they also know that in the face of such serious natural disasters, all people should unite to fight against such natural disasters. In the face of such natural disasters, the hatred between individuals, between tribes or even between tribes should be put aside for the time being.
Even if we join hands with our enemies for the time being, we should fight against this natural disaster together.
The sudden appearance of the third regiment frightened the chenuks. But then they found out that these heavily armed men didn't attack them. Instead, they put down their weapons and rushed to the fire.
The actions of the officers and men of the third regiment moved the chenuks, including the ulunezu. Especially after the soldiers of the third regiment rescued one after another people who were besieged by mountain fires, these chenuks also began to follow the soldiers of the third regiment to save people
As one after another of the forest was felled, opened up one after another fire belt, the fire was gradually controlled.
During this period, more than 1000 soldiers of the third regiment rescued more than 2000 chenuks besieged by the mountain fire, and hundreds of soldiers of the third regiment were burned, and four soldiers died in the fire
More than ten days have passed since the fire completely disappeared after a heavy rain.
When he saw the tired soldiers of the third regiment who could sleep on the ground, and looked at the people who were rescued by these young soldiers, he was deeply moved.
Yunio was released, and urunezu also led the high-level of all the ethnic groups to declare obedience to the Dahua empire in front of tens of thousands of ethnic groups!
