New Basilicata.
This mountain city has been completely put under wartime control, with supplies distributed by special personnel every day. In order to cope with the British naval blockade, a huge amount of supplies have been stored here, many of which were even purchased from the warring countries.
Merchants in Mexico and the North American colonies don't care whether you are a dark creature or not. As long as you pay pounds, they are willing to sell you even the rope to hang themselves.
Fulin's life was just boring deployment of troops every day. She didn't even participate in the Battle of New Naples and the German-Mexican War. However, her mood gradually evolved from being boring at the beginning to enjoying it.
There are more smiles on my face as usual.
"Do you see this 'Cross Strangler Formation'? As soon as the enemy steps in, they will be minced into pieces. The materials used to cast the spell are cheap and it is easy to set up. It will be easy to find a replacement when we return to our world."
"And this. As soon as it senses the presence of a living person approaching, it will immediately make a 'bang' sound, leaving no minced meat behind. Instead, it will use the person's remains as a base to give birth to a bloody demon dog."
"Speaking of bloodhounds, I have a group of them in the royal court. Each one is bloody and cute. After they kill their prey, they always suck out the blood and return it to their owner. So many years have passed, and Coors and I are not at home. I guess those little guys have been eaten by other vampires."
"Especially Elena, the pregnant woman, she has long wanted to occupy the room and coffin where I sleep, because the blood energy there is the most abundant."
Cherinina listened to her story silently, occasionally taking out the box of chocolate bars and handing her a chocolate bar.
This is how the two of them usually get along. She is always a good listener and a man of few words. Even her friends find it difficult to tell what she is thinking.
In fact, Cherylina just felt that this scene looked familiar, just like the time when she trained with Valentina.
At that time, she was also talking to me excitedly about her vision for the future, her plans for Saluzzo, how the wolf tribe would develop... these topics that I didn't quite understand at first.
She was still a little confused until the familiar figure waving and smiling appeared in her sight under the city wall.
Is it an illusion?
She tugged at Fulin's clothes: "Fulin, can you see that person?"
Fulin frowned: "I can see it, she seems to be greeting us, this person looks familiar, is she someone you know, Nina?"
"how is this possible?"
Cellinina's face was full of confusion. The elders of the Saluzzo family were all a bunch of old-fashioned people who only cared about safety. How could they allow Valentina to bring people to Texas when Texas was facing a crisis of survival?
...
Patriarch Giuliano apparently received the news much earlier than Cerinina. Soon, he brought a group of Texas senior officials out of the city to greet them.
In theory, the specifications are exceeded by a lot, but Texas still needs to appreciate the kindness of helping in times of need.
"Ms. Valentina, thank you for coming to Texas to support us at this critical moment. Texas and the New Wolf Tribe will never forget your friendship."
"Uncle, it's meaningless for you to say such things. Our two clans have been friends for hundreds of years. Although there have been some unpleasant things in the past, the people who caused all of this have basically disappeared. You can trust my sincerity in this trip."
Valentina spoke with grace and ease, already having the demeanor of a family leader.
Over the years, she has sidelined her father, purged the old-fashioned people in the Elders' Council, vigorously promoted the younger generation, and has in fact become the head of the Saluzzo family.
Giuliano smiled. The intelligence was true. This man who used to be Cellinina's playmate had now become independent.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If Nina had been with me at the beginning, she would definitely be a better person now, right?
"Mr. Giuliano, tell me about the current situation. Although we have heard some rumors on the sea, we don't know which ones are true and which ones are false."
The two walked side by side and talked about business.
If she hadn't winked at Celinina when they walked past the city wall, Nina would have almost forgotten her childhood playmate - she now looked just like the wolf elders at the elders' meeting.
"Mr. Giuliano, I am very optimistic about your plan."
"Yes, but unfortunately the population of Texas is already small enough. New Mexico is even smaller than Texas. The combined population of the two places is less than two million. I don't know how long it will take to make up for the losses caused by the war."
The old patriarch said meaningfully.
Texas was originally very wealthy, with rich mineral resources, vast land, and the accumulation of the thousand-year-old family of Basilicata.
But the problem is that war is coming. It is impossible for the Dex people to keep their wealth instead of expanding their armaments. Moreover, there are many places that need money to relocate civilians in the war zone and resume production after the war.
As for whether the white crystal and magic stone mines can be officially mined after the war, that is a matter to be discussed at the negotiation table.
If the British do not allow it, blockade the Texas ports, or send out a few cruisers to do nothing but attack Texas ships, there will be nothing we can do.
Maritime hegemony is so rogue.
"No wonder your envoys in the Old World have been trying to persuade us to take part in the development of the New World."
Valentina smiled and said, "After this battle, the name of the Lone Star Republic will surely resound throughout Europe. By then, I will help you convince those old antiques."
She paused for a moment and smiled as she continued, "The wealth accumulated by those old guys is not going to produce any cubs if it's kept in the cellar. It should have been taken out long ago to serve the wolf tribe in opening up a new world."
Giuliano emphasized: "It's mainly immigrants. Texas needs a lot of manpower, especially literate people with certain knowledge and skills. Basilicata is not a stingy family, and this is not just the territory of our family, but as we claim - the paradise of all new wolf tribes."
The old patriarch had long set his sights on immigrants from the Apennine Peninsula. Italy was a major immigrant destination, especially the Two Sicilies where the old wolf tribe had the strongest influence. Northern Italy at least had some industrial base, but the Two Sicilies, apart from a few port cities such as Naples, was simply a large rural area from the old era.
Seeing so many Italian immigrants running to North America every year, he was so envious that his heart bled.
Italian immigrants are what he values most.
In Texas, the main languages spoken are Spanish and Italian.
Mexico and Central and South America, also known as Latin America, except Brazil, belong to the Spanish-speaking world, and Spanish and Italian both belong to the Latin language family.
In the era of rising nationalism, the idea of integrating all Latin peoples into a great Latin Empire consisting of Spain, France and Italy was born in France.
This concept is comparable to the German concept of "Greater Germania".
Compared with the original time and space, both have made great progress. France obtained Spain, Germany obtained Austria, Bohemia, Prussia and the Baltic Knights, as well as the three Nordic countries, which were also included in its sphere of influence, and it also formed an alliance with the British, a branch of the Germanic nation, the "Anglo-Saxons".
Therefore, the market for these two concepts is much larger than that in the original time and space. In their view, liberating their compatriots who were enslaved by wolves on the Apennine Peninsula is completely destiny.
Of course, these are off-topic. In short, Italian immigrants and Hispanic immigrants have certain commonalities in language, and there are basically no major problems in daily communication between the two.
The introduction of a large number of Italian immigrants does not require as much vigilance as immigrants from North America.
"Please rest assured, I will help you solve the immigration problem. Anyway, there are so many immigrants leaving Italy every year. Once they get on the ship, no one knows whether they are going to North America or Texas - oh yes, Texas also belongs to North America, doesn't it?"
Valentina blinked. "As long as there are free tickets, it's easy to cheat a bunch of bankrupt immigrants. I'm sure the other families in Northern Italy will be happy to see this happen."
Giuliano smiled and said, "Thank you very much. Does Saluzzo plan to build his own estate in New Mexico?"
Valentina laughed. This meant they were going to discuss the specifics of the cooperation, including the profit sharing ratio, initial investment, and friendship. Ultimately, between families, everything would come second to interests.
Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Valentina traveled thousands of miles to America in order to find a way out for Saluzzo - close to the French, if the war breaks out one day, Saluzzo's small size will be crushed into ashes under the iron hoof of the world's land overlord.
"Let's go in and talk in detail."
