Opening game, American Tycoon

Chihuahua City Railway Station.

A group of dignitaries and ladies from the Chihuahua state were all dressed up on the platform, waiting for the arrival of the Prince of California.

"Where did the prince's train go?"

Again, Luis Terrazas turned to his squire.

"About 20 more minutes."

The subordinate's answer made Luis Terrazas nod slightly. As the governor of Chihuahua, it is normal to come to greet His Highness the Prince, but when he thought of the purpose of the prince's trip, Luis Terrazas felt a burst of excitement. My heart is stuck.

He is not only a local tycoon, but also a noble in Mexico. In fact, the local forces in the provinces of Mexico are almost all nobles. They came to power by supporting the royal family and attacking the republicans.

Of course, once upon a time, these local powerful factions in the north were often supporters of the republicans, but after the Ming Empire supported the Mexican royalists and gained an advantage on the battlefield, local families like Terrazas abandoned the republicans one after another and turned into royalists. group.

In them, the face of the local power faction is fully displayed-interests first.

Luis Terrazas is not only the governor, but also controls the state's militia and can control the local security situation.But that's not where his real influence lies. What is his real influence?
It's the land!
His family owns 2.8 square kilometers of land, and the area of ​​Chihuahua is only 24 square kilometers, and most of the land is desert. It can be said that more than 70% of the cultivated land in Chihuahua belongs to Terrazas family.

However, this is all in the past - five years ago, they had 2.8 square kilometers of land, and now only 1.4 square kilometers are left, and they lost half of their land in the land reform of the empire!

But even so, the empire didn't seem to let them go. The arrival of the Prince of California made everyone aware of the danger.

There is a saying in Huaxia that there is no such thing as a good banquet.The reason why the Prince of California came here must be for land surveying.

How much meat is he going to dig from my body?

Thinking of this, Louis Terrazas's heart became heavier.

"My lord, the reason why His Royal Highness came here this time should be to promote the land survey. I'm worried..."

The confidant's words made Luis Terrazas's brows furrowed, and his face looked ugly.

"What else is the prince going to do? We have already been robbed of half of our land by him. Could it be that he intends to kill us all?"

Even when he spoke, Luis Terrazas seemed very angry, but he was also very helpless—if someone dared to move his land in the past, he would definitely send that guy to see God.

But now he doesn't have the courage at all, because he doesn't have the strength to fight against the empire at all.

This empire does not only refer to the Mexican Empire, but now the emperor has an army loyal to him, but what really makes him fear is the Ming Empire, and even now, the Ming Empire still has troops in Chihuahua—the empire is in Mexico There are more than [-] garrisons in the country, most of which are stationed in the northern border area. His thousands of militias are not enough to look at in front of the imperial army.

In fact, not to mention the army of the Ming Empire, even the Royal Mexican Army is not something he can compete with. The times are different. In the past, they were the emperors of the land, it is true, but now the emperor has his own power.

"Wait, wait, wait until the Congress convenes in June, we will force the emperor to declare war. As long as war is declared, Mexico City will not be able to take care of us..."

Like many others, Luis Terrazas put his hope of stopping land surveying in declaring war on the United States, which was the common wish of the local nobles, the only way to preserve their wealth, and which they spent large sums of money advocating The root cause of regaining lost ground and revenge against the United States.

While Luis Terrazas was talking with his cronies, an officer on duty on the platform would occasionally look at the governor, the noble count, with a hint of hatred in his eyes, and finally, he turned Eyes cast toward the end of the railroad.

His Royal Highness is coming soon!
beep!
A few minutes later, accompanied by the long whistle of the train, the train spewed thick smoke and entered the railway station. After the train slowly stopped on the platform, the military band immediately played military music. Luis Terrazas, the Chihuahua The ground snake also showed a smile all over his face, completely free of his previous dissatisfaction.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness..."

Amid the cheers of the people, Crown Prince Sofia's husband, Prince Zhu Youyang of California, stepped out of the carriage. When he stepped onto the platform, he waved to the welcoming crowd with a smile on his face, and then set his sights on Luis Terrazas , the emperor of Chihuahua, the largest landowner in Mexico.

"Welcome, Your Royal Highness!"

Luis Terrazas, who was full of smiles, dragged his bloated body towards the prince.

Even if he is dissatisfied with him in every way, he can't show it.

Just as Louis Terrazas was walking towards the prince, the second lieutenant standing beside him was the first to move. He was standing next to the train, performing a guard duty. When the prince got off the train, he walked towards Terrazas When Master Si walked away, he seemed to have made a sudden decision, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.

"What is he going to do?"

Seeing the second lieutenant next to the carriage move, Terrazas's mind was full of question marks.

Shouldn't he be standing there?
At this time, the second lieutenant quickly stretched his hand to his waist, and when he raised it, everyone saw that he had a Smith & Wesson revolver shining with royal blue metallic luster in his hand.

It took the second lieutenant less than a second from walking towards the prince to drawing out the pistol. Louis Terrazas only had time to be stunned, but the guy was already holding the gun.

"stop……!"

It happened so suddenly that even the quickest responding officer only had time to let out an exclamation.

Immediately afterwards, crisp gunshots rang out suddenly.

With the sound of a gunshot, everyone present, including the ladies around, screamed in horror, running and avoiding, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.

"It's over!"

That was the only thought in Luis Terrazas' mind after he heard the gunshot.

"I'm doomed!"

The reason why Luis Terrazas came up with such an idea could not be simpler-this is Chihuahua!
It's his place!

Even the second lieutenant officer is also an officer of the Chihuahua militia. What does it mean when he shoots?
It was his instigation!
"The Terrazas family is over!"

This is also the common thought of other people present. They can't believe that this will be true. They can't believe that Luis Terrazas will really do something to the Prince of California.

God bless, how dare this guy is?
The moment the crisp gunshots sounded, several black shadows rushed towards the assassin and the prince.

The assassin and the prince were thrown to the ground almost at the same time, and the others didn't react until they were thrown.

"There are assassins..."
