Temporary Recruitment Station!

At this time, President of the United States Zachary General Taylor, the "greatest hero" of the Mexican-American War, who led his troops deep into Mexico territory and fought bloody battles with the Mexico army, killing countless enemies, was stationed at a stronghold in the disputed area of the United States and Mexico under the orders of US President James Knox Bor, while expanding his troops and awaiting further orders.

Historically, General Taylor's troops were always on the front lines fighting against the Mexico army, and even once penetrated deep into Mexico territory, where a force of more than 4,000 men faced off against a Mexico army of more than 20,000 men. After two days of fighting, they finally won.

If you want to participate in as many battles as possible, following Zachary Taylor is undoubtedly the best choice.

South of Fort Jesup, outside an US Army outpost in the disputed U. S.-Mexico border region, a number of soldiers and civilians are gathered.

Two dilapidated wooden tables, found from who-knows-where, were placed under a large tree at one end of the open space. In addition to the dozen or so soldiers maintaining order, two other soldiers were sitting at the makeshift tables, asking questions of the civilian youths who were lined up in two rows opposite them.

This is a temporary recruitment point.

At that time, the United States did not have the strict and standardized conscription regulations that would be seen in later generations. It was normal for soldiers to be recruited temporarily during wartime, and this was the case in most countries around the world at that time.

Among the civilians queuing up, two boys who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old but were quite muscular attracted a lot of attention. Although they were just quietly queuing up, they exuded a unique aura.

Their eyes are bright and sharp, and when they look at others unintentionally, their gaze reveals a strong wildness and aggression, giving people the feeling of fierce beasts like tigers and wolves.

However, the two did not do anything outrageous. Instead, they obediently stood at the back of a line after arriving, which made many applicants who took other people's places by relying on their strength look at them with a hint of contempt.

They turned out to be nothing more than two cowards with intimidatingly fierce appearances!

They were probably two young hunters who frequented the mountains and forests, possessing a wild nature but lacking courage.

Although soldiers were there to maintain order, no one stepped forward to stop those who were physically strong from cutting in line.

The military naturally favors strong soldiers. As long as it doesn't affect the recruitment process, no one will care if a strong and fierce person takes the position of a weak person. If you can't even hold onto your own position, who can you blame?

On the contrary, those who take other people's positions are looked up to by the other soldiers.

Seeing that the two people at the back of the line didn't react to the various looks from the crowd, many people lost interest and turned their attention away. They had originally wanted to watch a show, but now it seemed they wouldn't be able to.

These two fierce-looking but very quiet teenagers were naturally Victor and James, who were preparing to participate in the Mexican-American War. They were naturally aware of the gazes of the crowd, but even if these people were strong and fierce, they were still just ordinary civilians. They were far inferior to the two of them, let alone the armed personnel of the fur company who had been slaughtered by the two of them. Therefore, the two of them didn't bother to pay attention to these "weaklings". Chen Mo had told them about the upcoming Mexican-American War and the secret to their increased strength, so their goal was very clear: to join the army, fight to their heart's content in the upcoming Mexican-American War, and hone their strength.

This is a real war, not the petty squabbles with the fur company before. The two can go all out, unleash their full potential, and fight to their hearts' content, enjoying the exhilarating battle while continuously improving their strength.

Therefore, the two were more focused on the upcoming battle and longing for it, and they didn't even consider the weaker ones who might die in the battles to come.

As civilians were accepted or eliminated one by one, new people continued to join the ranks. The two lines moved slowly forward, but the number of people remained unchanged, while the sun in the sky gradually became more and more scorching.

The weather was clear and cloudless. The earth gradually warmed up under the strong sunlight. Although it was only April, the power of the sun was no less than that of summer. People wearing coats stood in the sun for a long time and began to feel hot.

The people in line were sweating profusely from the sun, and many of them unbuttoned their clothes and fanned themselves with their shirts from time to time.

However, the soldiers in charge of registration under the shade of the trees and the recruits in the first few rows were relatively cool and did not feel hot.

The soldiers responsible for maintaining order around them also found shady spots to avoid the scorching spring sun.

At that moment, Victor and James had just moved into the shade of the tree.

Actually, the two of them didn't mind the sun. Their physical abilities, which far exceeded those of ordinary people, also made their body temperature regulation abilities far superior to those of ordinary people. A little bit of sunlight only made them feel a bit warm.

Just as everyone was slowly moving forward in line, two tall, muscular white men appeared in the distance and strode toward the temporary recruitment point, clearly there to enlist.

The two quickly arrived at the open space, but instead of standing obediently at the end of the line, they glanced at the two long lines and the sweating crowd, and finally fixed their gaze on the two burly figures under the shade of the trees, who were noticeably shorter than the others.

The sight of Victor and James' youthful profiles filled the two men with contempt.

"These two little guys are quite sturdy."

The burly man, wearing a much newer gray coat than anyone else present, gestured with his eyes to Victor and James under the shade of a tree. He then turned to his companion and said with a smile, his tone full of sarcasm, clearly targeting the two men.

"Just two calves!"

The two exchanged a smile and then strode towards the front of the group.

The people in line and the soldiers guarding under the shade of the trees noticed the two men striding aggressively towards the front of the line. Everyone couldn't help but show a hint of interest on their faces. Who would be unlucky this time and have their spot taken away? And would the person whose spot was taken obediently return to the back of the line and rejoin the queue like the previous ones?
