First, it is not easy to feed a large enterprise with tens of thousands of people.

The number of people in several branches of the Horse Arms Company has exceeded 10,000 in total, and with the family members, it is not too much to say that it is tens of thousands, so many people have to eat every day, and it is not easy to find enough dollars to feed them.

At present, the horse weapons factory can produce nearly 1,000 pistols of various kinds every day, nearly 1,000 rifles and shotguns, nearly 100 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 10 artillery pieces, and these weapons can easily equip a regiment.

Fortunately, there was a huge demand for weapons in the United States, and the "westward movement" was coming to an end, but the threat of the Indians remained, along with the bison and other wild animals of the prairies, which forced the people who migrated westward to arm themselves as much as possible.

Not only do they have to keep themselves safe, but they also have to keep their families safe.

In Springfield, Indiana, Changrong and his companions stepped off the train, pointing to the stop sign and laughing.

In the United States, "Springfield" is really a very common name, probably similar to the Qing Empire's "Sandaokou" and "Xiaoqingshan" place names are about the same.

Springfield, Indiana, is of course different from Springfield, Massachusetts, Springfield, Massachusetts is the center of the military industry in the United States, the center of machine manufacturing, and occupies a pivotal position in the American economy, Springfield, Indiana is just a small town next to Lake Michigan, and the name of this town is probably not found on the map of the state.

Zhang Changrong is one of the tens of thousands of farmers in the ZAMA Group, and since more than a year ago, the ZAMA Group began to develop land in Indiana and Illinois, and Zhang Changrong is already the fourth batch of Chinese to come to Indiana.

The low-slung wooden houses smell of decay, the glass on the windows is mostly broken, the stone steps in front of the door are broken, and the occasional traces of bomb craters can be seen, indicating that this place is not peaceful.

The dilapidated platform, there is no awning on it, the ground was originally paved with a layer of slate, and now most of them are damaged, a few days ago it just rained, when Zhang Changrong jumped on the platform, he accidentally stepped on a suspended damaged slate, and the stagnant water under the slate squirted out, splashing on Zhang Changrong's brand-new cargo pants and suede shoes, Zhang Changrong suddenly scolded.

"Hahahaha, you deserve it."

"I told you a long time ago, we're cowboys now, so we should wear jeans."

"Congratulations, it's a welcome from Springfield, Indiana."

The companions immediately laughed loudly, ignoring Zhang Changrong's increasingly ugly face.

When leaving Massachusetts, the Horse Group prepared a set of suitable clothes for Zhang Changrong and each of them, as well as various items necessary for the journey, and the others were more careful, and they were still wearing old clothes, only Zhang Changrong put on new clothes, so Zhang Changrong was very angry at this time.

"Why don't you go up and change your clothes." Zhang Changrong's wife is also distressed, but not distressed by clothes, but more distressed by Zhang Changrong's embarrassment.

Zhang Changrong's wife is a Chinese from the Qing Empire, came to the United States from the Qing Empire last year, although Zhang Changrong's wife was married in the Qing Empire, but Zhang Changrong didn't mind, he would know the cold and the hot, and he was a Han with red roots, Zhang Changrong was already very content.

Although the ZAMA Group has been trying to immigrate to the United States, compared to the huge Han population base in the United States, the efforts of the ZAMA Group are not enough, and not all Chinese can find a Chinese family to marry.

"No, brother's legs, the fire in San Francisco has come out, what is this muddy water." In front of his wife, Zhang Changrong was still heroic.

After arriving in Springfield from San Francisco, Zhang worked hard and excelled, standing out from the tens of thousands of workers of the Horse Construction Company, so that he could successfully hold the beauty and obtain the qualification to buy land.

"A few people to help unload something." Someone at the back of the car shouted hello.

Zhang Changrong answered, handed the shoulder bag to his wife, and ran towards the back of the car.

The satchel is a product of the affiliated factory of the Kufma Group, and the blue denim bag style is novel and easy to use, and it has been widely praised since its launch.

The textile factory is just one of the many affiliated factories of the Kufma Group, which produces a variety of backpacks, bedding, and ready-to-wear in addition to shoulder bags.

Before the advent of various satchels and backpacks, most of the belongings that people carried when traveling were cloth bags, which contained a lot of pockets, but there was no convenience at all.

The textile factory affiliated with the ZAMA Group is now being restructured, and in the future the textile factory will belong to the Barron family.

After unloading the luggage, the train filled with coal water gasped and continued to run into the distance with black smoke, leaving only more than 100 Chinese and a dozen white people on the platform.

Two groups of people of different races naturally gathered on both sides of the platform and looked at each other.

These white men were pioneers from the East, commonly known as cowboys, who were in fact new immigrants, or unemployed vagrants who couldn't get along in the cities and had to come to the West to see if they could get something to eat.

Such people naturally have no laws and morals in their heads, and in most cases, although they are like normal people, they do not mind changing their hunting objects to humans as long as the situation allows.

Unlike the Chinese who dragged their families, these dozen or so white people were all men, and they were all young adults, although the number was relatively small, but they looked much more sophisticated.

After all, the United States is a predominantly white country, and white people naturally have a psychological advantage when facing other races, so the eyes of these dozen or so white people are not very friendly to the Chinese.

Especially when they noticed that the Chinese were carrying large bags of luggage, the eyes of these white people were like jaguars staring at a herd of bison.

In an unfamiliar environment, adults will always subconsciously be vigilant, children will get carried away, for them, everything in this world is full of fun and curiosity, so when the adults are packing their bags, children can't help but have fun.

In these years, there was no such thing as family planning, three children in a family were a bit less, four children were barely passable, five children were average, and more than six were worthy of their ancestors.

With so many children, there must be times when they can't be taken care of, although all the school-age children of the Junma Group have to enroll, but before they enter school, all the children are basically in a free-range state.

It's normal for children to fight and make trouble, several children chased each other, and near the dozen or so white people who ran, one child suddenly fell, and then began to cry.

The child's mother rushed over immediately, and under normal circumstances, if the child was sure to be safe and sound, a slap was inevitable.

In the West, women are scarce animals, especially in the eyes of cowboys who do not stay in the same place for long, so they naturally do not drag their families with them, so when the young mother hurried in, one of the cowboys blew a loud whistle, which immediately caused all the cowboys to laugh and make a lewd gesture to the young mother.

Chinese women in these years are very reserved, traditional etiquette and religious ideas give them heavy constraints, they do not go out of the door and do not go out of the door to serve their husbands and children to serve their in-laws, etc., they have not been in the United States for a long time, under the protection of the Junma Group, most of the people around them are Chinese, so in the face of more than a dozen profligate cowboys, the young mother simply returned to the Chinese with tears.

"What's wrong?"

"Are those grandsons bullying you?"

"Brothers, copy guys!"

Immediately there was a clamor and a clamor for a little color to be seen by the blindless white men.

In the past few years of living and working in Springfield, while giving the Chinese a strong physique, it has also given them an unyielding fighting spirit, if they were a group of weak sheep before, then in the brainwashing of the Horse Group day after day, they have become a group of tough wolves.

Guarding an arms company, the last thing the Stallion lacks is weapons, especially these future farmers who have come from the safety of Springfield to the unfamiliar state of Indiana, almost eager to arm themselves to the teeth.

Oh, oh, almost forgot, they are all registered militiamen of the National Guard, and according to the regulations, they can be armed with everything except artillery, including light machine guns and grenades.

It was not a good idea to annoy a group of militiamen, especially one from a weapons company, who, within two minutes, had a bullet belt with a python military pistol wrapped around their waists, a shotgun of a terrible calibre, and some even had oval grenades on their chests.

The Oval Grenade is also the latest product of the Horse Weapons Factory, this grenade weighing only 400 grams can fire more than 200 fragments within a radius of 15 meters once it explodes, although it sounds less powerful than 1800 steel balls, but if you are in the explosion range, you can only pray for God's blessing.

Cowboys no one knows what kind of people they provoked, when they saw the Chinese began to make noise, the cowboys were still interested in wanting to work, but when they saw the Chinese people armed and neat, the cowboys were dumbfounded.

"Hey, brother, it's just a misunderstanding." An older cowboy came in to explain before the clashes broke out.

"Who is your brother? You have so many red eyebrows and green eyes that look like a monster, and my brother can't do it if he looks like you. "If someone doesn't give up, and what he says, this person doesn't sound very good.

But as long as you pick up the conversation, you shouldn't be able to fight, the old cowboy is very spittive and self-conscious, and the soft words immediately roll in: "Okay guys, it was just a misunderstanding, the kid who made a mistake just now, I will definitely teach him a lesson when I go back, and you definitely don't want to leave a bad impression on the people here on the first day you come here." ”

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that what the old cowboy said still has some truth, the Chinese are not endless, and the anger has subsided a lot in an instant.

"Sorry, I'm late." A loud voice accompanied by the rapid sound of horses' hooves came quickly, and it was Old York, the liaison of the settlement.

In order to better adapt these farmers to the local society and help them solve their problems, ZAMA Group has arranged a liaison in each settlement, and the liaison in Springfield, Indiana is Old York.

Old York was responsible for settling these future farmers first, then determining the location and size of their farms, helping them build houses, purchasing livestock, and so on.

In short, Old York was like a logistical steward for the farmers.

"York, are you okay?"

"York, you're coming too slowly."

"We thought you were eaten by a wolf."

They were all acquaintances, otherwise York wouldn't have been appointed as Springfield's liaison, and when they saw York coming, people greeted each other in a mess, and no one noticed that the group of cowboys had quickly disappeared.

"I thought you'd only arrive in the evening, so I went to the tavern in town for a drink." Old York was happy that his job was to serve future farmers, and the more people who came to Spearingfield, the more important his job became.

"York, we were looking for you, this group just now..." and some people wanted to settle accounts with the group of cowboys just now, but they didn't expect to turn around, and there was no one in sight.

"What's going on?" York dismounted, his shiny leather boots making a metallic sound against the stone slabs, and it seemed that the soles of his shoes had been added.

The principle of adding the sole is the same as that of the horseshoe, which is to reduce the wear and tear of the sole, so that it is possible to wear a pair of shoes for more than ten years.

Someone recounted what had just happened to Old York, Old York's face turned cold instantly, and the hand on his waist subconsciously picked up the leather rope on the holster.

"What about people?" Old York's voice was cold, and it made people feel chills in their hearts when they heard it.

Old York, a white man who used to be a stray cowboy, later joined the Steed Group security team, and legend has it that he had blood on his hands.

Many people didn't believe this before, but now it seems that the rumors are true.

"York, not really, right?" Zhang Changrong didn't expect Old York to be so solemn, it seems that the security in Indiana is not very good, and Zhang Changrong's heart instantly lifted.

"Let's hope it's okay, but we'll have to be careful, this isn't Horse Town after all, and we'll all be living apart, maybe miles apart, and whatever happens, we'll be on our own, so we have to let others know that we're the masters of this land." Old York doesn't ignore any potential threats and takes the opportunity to teach future farmers a lesson.
