Chapter 45: Union of Sioux

The development of Miss Coco is still going on. It is foreseeable that in a short period of time, Miss Coco stores will be opened all over the country.

And Alfonso and Hepburn's engagement is also approaching, and Pope Pius IX will personally come to preside over the wedding.

As one of the few Catholic countries in Europe, Pius IX was naturally not arrogant enough to think that Alfonso was not worthy to let him officiate the wedding.

After the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, the French army in Italy withdrew from Rome, and Italy had the opportunity to recover the central city of Rome.

The Papal State officially declared the shattering of secular rights under the casualty of 19 soldiers.

Pope Pius IX has since retreated to the Vatican. Although there are still people who believe in Catholicism, their influence has greatly declined.

The Italian government also agreed to let it go. The Vatican is only a corner of the city of Rome, and it is not so important to the Italians.

The wedding process is run by government officials. Since Queen Victoria's white wedding dress led the trend, white wedding dresses in Europe have gradually become popular.

The invitation to various royal families has not stopped, and now Europe is bigger than the French, which are almost all monarchical countries.

Before Alfonso could continue to think about it, Howard came to his side.

"Your Majesty, you have been paying attention to the intelligence of the United States before, and a conflict broke out between the Sioux Indians and Americans in the northwestern United States."

The number of Indians in this period has decreased sharply, but there are still nearly one million in number, and the Sioux around Montana are gathering together.

"Gold was discovered in Black Mountain, Montana, USA, the gold rush of American miners was at its peak, the U.S. Army couldn't stop it, and the Sioux claimed to protect their gold."

Howard said, this is the information we know now.

"Montana Indians, interesting, inform the British that we have intelligence to weaken the Americans."

The location of Montana is right on the Canadian border, and Canada is a colony of the British Empire.

After a while, the British ambassador Harrison arrives, so to speak.

"Hello, Your Majesty the King."

Harrison was a standard English gentleman, of course they thought.

"Hello, Your Excellency Ambassador, our intelligence agencies have recently obtained information about North American Indians. I believe you will be interested."

Alfonso motioned to sit down and looked at Harrison with a smile.

"Oh? What is it?" Harrison was a little puzzled.

"In Montana, on the border between Canada and the United States, there are nearly 200,000 Native American Indians who have rebelled, and I think this is a good time for our two sides to work together."

"Our country can provide weapons and equipment and informants, which will be transported by your country's powerful navy. I think it will cause great distress to the Americans."

Handing over the information in hand, the number of Indians is indeed not large, but the advantage is that everyone is a soldier, and the number of the US Army is not even comparable to that of Spain, and the quality of the army is even more difficult to describe.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will truthfully report this matter to the country."

Harrison didn't care much. With the strength of the Indians, it would not have much influence on the Americans.

But Alfonso knew how powerful the Indians with guns and stones were. In late 1876, the U.S. government even had to send tens of thousands of troops to fight the rebellion.

And because the Indians did not have enough supplies and the cold winter, they resisted for a full winter before being defeated one after another.

The next day.

The British also responded quickly, agreeing with Alfonso's opinion.

A full five thousand Vieri rifles, countless grenades began to be deployed, artillery and machine guns could not be given to the Indians fighting guerrilla warfare.

This matter is not worth mentioning to the British Empire, but the behavior of the Spaniards and their united front makes them feel that this is a vote, and they are happy to accept it.

By the way, I am also disgusted by the Americans who are constantly arguing with the British in Canada. The long border between the United States and Canada does not have to worry about whether weapons can be transported in.

In Montana, the United States, Felipe, a Spaniard, received news from his homeland, but just glanced at the telegram, and he rushed out of the tent with joy.

"Patriarch Hongyun, good news, good news!"

Felipe waved his intelligence to find Red Cloud, one of the three leaders of the Sioux.

"Patriarch Hongyun, I got a reply to the message I sent to the country for help. The Spanish government will provide 5,000 Vielli rifles and corresponding ammunition, which will greatly increase our strength."

Felipe was really happy for this group of Indians, who always made him feel sad and solemn when they fought against the US Army with guns and stones.

"Really? But this is America, how can they bring it in?"

Patriarch Hongyun immediately thought of the problem after rejoicing. He had already started to fight against the Americans in 1866.

"Patriarch Red Cloud, we persuaded the British that on the Canadian border, we need you to find a gap for us to transport weapons in,"

Felipe looked at the red cloud with some seriousness. If the weapons cannot be safely transported to the Sioux tribe, it will be empty talk. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"Understood, Your Excellency Felipe, we will shrink our strength in the past few days and find the most suitable position on the border."

Patriarch Hongyun also has a solemn expression on his face. The Sioux people have had enough of the pain of backward weapons and equipment, and this time they must get this batch of arms.

"Lord Patriarch, I suggest that you can give priority to preserving your vital power recently to prevent no good warriors from using this batch of weapons."

Felipe said, then turned his head and looked contemptuously at the captured U.S. Army special rifle, pointed and said:

"Compared with our country's Vielli rifle, this is a piece of scrap metal, and our servant army will not use it. The Vielli rifle is the best rifle in the world."

Felipe admitted that he was a bit bragging, but when he boasted loudly in a group of hillbillies, he attracted the surprised eyes of the natives and made him a little complacent.

"This is really amazing, I really want to see him earlier."

Patriarch Hongyun was also in shock, looking at Felipe, who was complacent, with envy. The Indians who are good at bows and arrows can be said to be natural sharpshooters.

It's just that there is no weapon in hand.

The guards of Patriarch Hongyun also listened with enthusiasm. Under the suppression of American firepower, their battles were always particularly suffocating.

The Cuban authorities, after receiving the order of His Majesty the King, began to prepare the arms, and the British transport ships would come to transport them.

The British arrived at the port of Havana the next day, not because the British were fast, but because the British Caribbean colonies were too close.

A large number of rifles, ammunition, and grenades were loaded into the transport and sailed out of Havana, heading north to Canada.

As for the safety of weapons, no one dared to attack the merchant ships of the British Empire during this period...
