A hundred birds are in the forest, but one bird is worse than a single bird in hand.

Li Fushou repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and finally reluctantly gave up his love. It was wise for him to do so. Faced with the secret alliance between the left and right parties, he hoped to carry out a proposal for governor re-election in advance. This was unstoppable.

So the current small body of the DPP was destined to sink in the storm of the NSW political storm.

As a result, all the promises are gone.

"Oh, I'm still too weak. I can only do my own thing now and look forward to a breakthrough in the future." Li Fushou sighed, stood up and walked to the window to look out.

From here you can see the blue fjord area, where the beautiful buildings in Sydney are spread out in a distance, extending to the end of the sky.

According to the current influx of Chinese immigrants, it will completely change Sydney's entire population structure and compete with the white people in less than two years.

The focus now should be on South Africa. As the conflict between the British and Boers intensifies, a war is on the string, and it seems that it is inevitable.

On this land of South Africa, after the British eliminated the Zulu resistance forces, they did not improve the Boers' situation as promised, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Boers and the calls for autonomy became increasingly high.

If history has not changed

The first British-British War broke out in December, and in the Netherlands, far away in Europe, Germany expressed sympathy for the Boers' situation and supported them from all sides, which made it difficult for the British Empire from another perspective.

The Red River Valley in Australia

Since I decided to give up acting governor Cromwell, the benefits of being in Sydney have been obtained, and it is time to go back and do my own business.

Li Fushou stared at the beautiful botanical fjord with a ray of hot light flashing in his eyes. He hoped that one day he would come here, as a big shot who dominated the pattern of New South Wales.

He had already opened a big hole in Australia's strict immigration policy, and the flood broke through the embankment. It was completely impossible to block it at this time.

No matter how high the southern states are, the big gap in Queensland is still there, which means that what they are doing is useless.

"Report to the master, Queensland calls, many white ranchers and some small towns in the north have turmoil of varying degrees, which has caused many casualties. There have also been bandits in the Red River Valley ranch area, which has had a serious impact on the people grazing in the wild. Please tell me how to act."

"Oh, Xiao Xiaozuo Chong." Li Fushou turned around after hearing this, with a cold smile on his lips, and said in a faint manner; "I inform all the entourage to pack up and take the train back to Honghe Valley City today. It's time to go back to clean the house."

"Subordinates obey the order."

Red River Valley City

After a 34-hour train journey, the train spitting white steam slowly drove into the Red River Valley Station. It was already night, and the lights around the city were as bright as the galaxy, and there was no sight at all.

The guards who had been waiting here received a group of people returning from Sydney by train, quickly guarded them leaving the train station and headed towards Red Fort.

The next morning

In the military camp diagonally opposite the Red River Valley Municipal Government (formerly Shangu Town Management Committee), thousands of energetic cavalry were arranged neatly on the training ground, holding their beloved war horses beside them, with a solemn expression waiting for inspection.

The neat queues are sorted by each battalion and company. At the front are four large flags flying, embroidered with the Hongshan family logo. The only difference is that the beasts entrenched at the foot of the mountain are lifelike dragons, tigers, leopards, and wolfs.

There are camp flags at each camp, and there are pennants at each company, which flutter in the wind.

Due to the great expansion of the territory of the Red River Valley, the original four cavalry guards of dragon, tiger, leopard, wolf, and 1,600 people are no longer enough to use. The Earl of Queensland has expanded its private army from 1,600 people to 4,804 people.

The original Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Wolf, Four Cavalry Guards, with a hundred people in a company and a battalion of four hundred people in a battalion, and the battalion commander was responsible for commanding. All of them were standard cavalry configurations.

After expansion

The four cavalry guards of Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Wolf have increased their equipment and expanded their personnel, greatly improving their combat effectiveness.

A hundred people have a company, four companies are a battalion, and the commander is called the battalion commander.

There are two battalions, and there are 82 people directly under the battalion firepower company, equipped with 6 marching guns, 5 people and one gun group, 6 hand-cranked Gatlin 6 heavy machine guns, four people and one machine gun group, and 24 baggage carriages and 4 carriage repairmen.

The battalion directly under the logistics company, including staff adjutants, communications soldiers, health officers, fire-headed soldiers, full-time groomsmen, blacksmiths who repair horseshoes, saddles, carpenters and other personnel.

Each combat battalion has a total of 547 people, 4 combat companies plus direct firepower companies, and a total of six companies in the logistics company. It can form independent combat capabilities and have strong offensive combat capabilities.

The four cavalry guards of Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Wolf each have two camps under their jurisdiction, which are divided into front camps and back camps.

In addition to the commander and deputy commander of each cavalry guard, officers of staff, logistics officers and guard platoons, each cavalry guard has 1,201 personnel, and 4 cavalry guards have a total of 4,804 people.

All recruits are from the Red River Valley University Affiliated High School, and students who are over 18 years old and have no intention of continuing their studies. This is a young group of people who fanatically worship the Earl of Queensland. They are all orphans and wandering teenagers from the mainland. After years of education at the affiliated high school, they have grown up to be the first group of soldiers to join the army.

Due to years of militarized life and management in the school, these recruits quickly integrated into the military camp and after several months of rigorous military training, they have grown into qualified soldiers.

Today, they will be inspected by the Earl of Queensland.

The barracks, which are not allowed to enter on weekdays, are particularly open today, and many people who are watching the ceremony are flocking in. They are separated by etiquette soldiers and watched the grand military review ceremony from afar.

The crowds of onlookers were men and women, old and young. Many people held hungry children in their arms, but they still couldn't hide their excitement.

Just looking at these majestic soldiers, many people were already so excited that their faces were flushed, and their waists were quite straight.

Because these young and mighty soldiers all have black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and the same hot blood flowing. They belong to the team of Chinese immigrants and their own soldiers.

People were talking enthusiastically, and many people were holding colorful flags in their hands, waiting for the ceremony to begin with excitement.

Accompanied by the intense military music, the audience suddenly calmed down and looked into the distance with their eyes.

A tall young man rode a white horse and wore a white military uniform with golden eaves. Especially on his head, he wore a white big-brimmed hat with a front and a low back, decorated with a golden hat badge and a hat rope, looking very heroic and handsome, with an extraordinary style.

This brightness was exactly the same as the audience, and the applause was like thunder and waves, and the whole audience cheered continuously.

How do you say this military uniform?

It is simply too handsome, which further highlights the outstanding style of the young and tall Li Fushou, who stands out in a brilliant appearance.

Dozens of officers behind him were dressed in full set of straight dark gray uniforms, dark gray brimmed officer hats and horses, followed closely behind. Amid the attention of the soldiers and the cheers of the onlookers, they dismounted in front of the viewing platform with red silk, and followed the Earl of Queensland to the viewing platform.

Li Fushou's military uniform was completely designed by himself, especially the standard German-style large-brimmed hat. Oh, now it should be called an Australian-style large-brimmed hat. It shows off the heroic and heroic style of a soldier, killing all the designs of the same era in seconds.

The earliest large cap in history appeared in Tsarist Russia in 1811. At that time, Russia designed a large cap for soldiers as a beanie. This cap was almost the same as the sailor hat in later generations, except that it lacked two streamers behind the head.

In 1812, Napoleon attacked Russia, and the Russian people resisted. A large number of militia were armed to participate in the battle. The ones were given a large brimless cap. Because it felt that it was impossible to hide from the sun without a brim. Some militia sewed the brim on their beanie hats, and the large brim hats were released from then on.

The Prussians copied the design of Tsarist Russia and generally assigned large-brimmed hats to the army. Because the standards of each principality are different and there is a layer of hat hoop, it looks soft and has everything.

Especially the large brimless caps issued by German soldiers are very ugly in their soft appearance, so they are nicknamed "pork patty caps".

Now, the Australian-style large-brimmed hat with a high front hat on the front will be rewarded as soon as it appears. The audience was surprised to whispering, why is this hat that has never been seen so beautiful?

On the viewing platform

The majestic army symphony came to an end for the time being, and the concierge officer loudly announced that the new army formation ceremony of the Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Wolf Guards had officially begun, and the soldiers shouted in unison;

Loyalty, bravery, and not afraid of hardships.

Honor, discipline, regarded as life.

Sacrifice, dedicate, face it calmly.

Responsibility, honesty, military example.

A sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the huge square and drifted into the sky from afar. This was the oath made by thousands of soldiers to implement the eight virtues of the militarized management of the Red River Valley.

It is deeply imprinted into the hearts of every soldier.

Li Fushou looked at the neatly arranged soldiers below the stage, with a fanatical expression flashing in his eyes, deeply touched it, and felt that the blood was boiling.

He walked to the stage and said to the huge trumpet; "Brothers of the Four Horse Guards, officers, soldiers, and all the fellow villagers present;

Today we gather here to celebrate and witness the new army formation ceremony of the Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Wolf Guard. This is a day worthy of joy and a day worthy of special writing.

On this vast land of the Red River Valley, there are abundant water, grass, mountains, rivers and valleys, and there are towns and towns that we have built ourselves. This is the home of our immigrants and the place where a better life will begin in the future.

We are deeply attached to this hot land, which nourishes our growth so generously. There are gold, flocks of sheep, vast fields and endless minerals, and this is our home.

And you, brothers of the Four Horse Guards;

It is the greatest reliance on protecting our safe and happy life, the white jade pillars of the East China Sea, the purple gold beams of the sea, and the barriers of all invasions and bandits.

As the lord and shelter of this land, I have high hopes for you. I hope you will take loyalty as the core, be brave and not afraid of hardships, regard honor as life, discipline as the criterion, have a fearless spirit of sacrifice and dedication, demand yourself with the responsibility of soldiers and high standards of honesty, grow into a combative army, and earnestly fulfill your responsibilities of defending the territory.

On this delightful day, I announce;

The flag-raising ceremony officially began…”
