Chapter 169

Stone bear knows that his plan is actually to dance on the steel wire.

This plan is better known as "driving away tigers and swallowing wolves", but worse, it's to toss your head in your belt.

As long as one doesn't pay attention, the end will be no better.

The gaoshu tribe didn't grow up completely. No matter the colonists of the thirteen colonies or the British from the other side of the ocean, the stone bear and even the whole Cherokee people are huge things that can't be shaken.

Walking between these two giants, it's really a broken end.

Not too high risk means high harvest, which is absolutely universal.

If you can really walk freely between the British and the Americans, and make good use of the contradictions between the British and the Americans, even the French and Spanish, then the harvest brought to the high tree tribe and even the whole Indian is absolutely very rich.

Therefore, Lieutenant Ferguson is very important for stone bear. He needs a person or method that can reasonably and legally import those "high-tech" weapons into the hands of the British. Undoubtedly, Lieutenant Ferguson can become a key link.

Of course, the stone bear is not afraid that the British technology can catch up with itself.

Although there is nothing and nothing in the gaoshu tribe now, the stone bear is confident that in ten years' time, the force value of the gaoshu tribe and even the whole Cherokee tribe will be raised to a very powerful level.

At least the stone bear is confident that the vasichus will not underestimate the powerful Cherokees.

In his previous life, Shi Xiong studied Museum in University. He was a standard liberal arts man. But in fact, as an all-round student, Shi Xiong's science knowledge is more powerful than most science men. Especially in the ten years after he took part in the work, combined with the knowledge he learned, he had more control over modern science.

Just like this homemade grenade, what if Lieutenant Ferguson learned it and gave it to the British?

The British will make this kind of powerful grenade, but how to launch this kind of grenade further?

In fact, the principle of the bomb is to transport the large-scale grenade to a farther place to produce large-scale lethality. But before the real bomb was studied, even if the British mastered how to make this kind of powerful grenade, they could not launch this kind of grenade to a distance of 200 meters.

As a matter of fact, the major powers in Europe already have grenadiers. The Grenadier developed by them is not very powerful, and can only be thrown by specially trained grenadiers. At most, it has the ability of throwing 40-50 meters, which greatly limits the power of grenadiers.

It's just like some later countries that secretly developed mushroom bombs. They may indeed have the technology and ability to make mushroom bombs. However, how to launch the mushroom bombs has become the bottleneck of these countries.

The power of mushroom bomb is really incomparable, but you have to have the ability to send the mushroom bomb to the top of the enemy's head or the city.

If you don't have that ability, then the mushroom bullet is just a set-up. You can see if it can be used!

In previous generations, Huaxia tightened its belt and developed its own two bombs and one star in such a difficult time. Two bombs are just the foundation, and that star is the key.

Especially with that star, Huaxia will be able to stand up and never worry about nuclear blackmail, because we Huaxia not only have powerful mushroom bombs, but also have the ability to deliver such powerful weapons to your head!

Similarly, although the British artillery is very powerful, at this time they did not have the technology to shoot this kind of grenade with artillery, so even if this kind of grenade fell into the hands of the British, they at best got a more powerful grenade.

But the stone bear is different. He has many ways to send this kind of powerful grenade 200 meters away.

The simplest way is to change the bed crossbow into a large catapult, even if it is slightly changed, it can also quickly launch the ignited grenade 200 meters away

It is for this reason that Shi Xiong is not worried about the outflow of his technology. On the contrary, he hopes that some of his technology will flow into the hands of the British.

Stone bear knows very well that even if the British get some of their military technology, they can't beat the Americans who are determined to be independent. Before the emergence of machine guns and large caliber naval guns, which can determine the trend of the battlefield, the Atlantic Ocean was a mountain that the British could not cross.

At that time, the little devil was so powerful that he couldn't win such a big China. In the 21st century, the United States is even more competitive, and it has not won Afghanistan or Syria? Not to mention the British of this era.

Even the British are very strong in this era, but one Atlantic Ocean is enough to bridge this huge gap in strength. The Americans have the advantage of geographical location, and there are also franceans and Spaniards to help. The British can't do much good anyway.

And the stone bear won't let the British win. Compared with the Americans, the stone bear doesn't believe in the British.

If the Americans win, even if the United States is established, the stone bear has the confidence to clean up this rogue country. And with the United States standing in front of us, we can attract more firepower.

Therefore, the result of the independent war must be the final victory of the Americans. The stone bear can only try to delay the failure of the British and let the two sides shed more blood on this continent. This is the most fundamental purpose.

"Patrick, if you want to learn how to make this kind of grenade, it's very easy. I won't hide this technology from you." Stone Bear looked at Lieutenant Ferguson and said sincerely.

"And this technology is not difficult, the key lies in the preparation of gunpowder. I've already told you the proportion of the new type of gunpowder. After you make new and more powerful gunpowder, you can make this kind of grenade yourself. "

Lieutenant Ferguson hesitated for a moment and said: "boss, this thing is really powerful. If I can master this kind of technology, I believe our soldiers in the British Empire will have an extra weapon to save their lives. If each of our soldiers can prepare two such grenades, then the enemy will never be able to attack within 30 meters, and these grenades will become a nightmare for attackers. "

The stone bear hesitated slightly, but then said with a broad smile: "yes, if this thing is used for defense, it will really become a nightmare for attackers." In the end, the stone bear did not say that this thing could be used as an offensive weapon.

Anyway, it's powerful for defense. As for the application in attack, let's wait.

The successful detonation of this indigenous grenade shows the clan another power of this kind of thermal weapon.

Compared with firing guns and guns, the explosion of grenades is undoubtedly more intuitive. The planks on the pit wall are the most direct proof.

Anyway, muskets can't produce this kind of power. As for artillery, although the power is not small, that kind of shells and bullets about the size of oranges doesn't look as powerful as this kind of grenade explosion.

You know, there are a lot of broken ceramic pieces and dense iron filings on those planks!

These planks are all made of hard oak, that is, a knife with an axe can make a small gap at most. And those broken pieces of pottery can be put into the board for more than an inch. If they are put on people, they must be put on the opposite side!

There is a powerful weapon in the tribe, which makes the people very happy. Even Lilei and Hongyun have to praise the power of this kind of local grenade.

Similarly, most of the people, including Lilei, also paid great attention to the saltpeter produced by the Xiaohe tribe. After all, they all know that more than 70% of the raw materials, whether it's this kind of powerful grenade or the kind of gunpowder needed for firing, are purified from those nitrates.

This also means that once Xiaohe tribe does not trade with gaoshu tribe, gaoshu tribe will no longer be able to produce such powerful grenades.

This is absolutely intolerable by the gaoshu tribe.

Gaoshu tribe is not a hermit tribe like Xiaohe tribe, and there are stone bears in it. Even if gaoshu tribe is a hermit tribe, it has to be led into a new war tribe.

Therefore, if there is no such raw material for making grenades, the gaoshu tribe is absolutely not allowed.

At this time, most of the ethnic groups realized the importance of the Xiaohe tribe, and realized the importance of normal trade with the Xiaohe tribe.

Of course, the gaoshu tribe can also completely conquer the Xiaohe tribe by means of war, and then completely occupy the saltpeter mine of the Xiaohe tribe. But the problem is that everyone knows that although this kind of hermit tribe is unwilling to participate in the war, and the people in the tribe are very tired of the war, it doesn't mean that the hermit tribe is the dough, which can be easily handled.

On the contrary, this kind of seclusion tribe is not as backward as those who fight all the year round except in the sense of war. Moreover, in order to protect the tribes on which they live, once they are invaded by outsiders, these secluded tribes can often burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.

Let alone the small river tribe, which is a large tribe with more than 1500 people, this number is not for fun. Even now the gaoshu tribe has more than 100 fireguns and four inland river armed transport ships. However, as for the terrain of the small river tribe, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the small river tribe with these firearms.

Both Li Lei and Hongyun have a clear understanding of this.

Not to mention the stone bear's favorite people are still in the Xiaohe tribe. If anyone dares to use force against the Xiaohe tribe, the guardian will definitely be the first to refuse.

If anyone dares to move Xiaohe tribe, I'm afraid he doesn't need to do it. The guardian will crack him first!

No matter Li Lei or wolf tail, they also have a very clear understanding of this

So, it's the only way to keep trading with the river tribe.

"Kabulu sacrifice, leader Li Lei, and my people, if we want to get this kind of saltpeter, it's the best way to trade with Xiaohe tribe." In the assembly hall, the stone bear said loudly to some of the people gathered here.

"Kabulu sacrifice has been to Xiaohe tribe. Compared with kabulu sacrifice, we should understand that it is basically impossible to defeat Xiaohe tribe with our current strength. Even if we take the method of sneak attack, how many soldiers in our tribe will die if we want to completely defeat Xiaohe tribe? One hundred or two hundred? In my opinion, even if we fill in all the people of our whole gaoshu tribe, I'm afraid we can't beat Xiaohe tribe! "

Red cloud nodded and said: "the guardian is right. Last time I went to Xiaohe tribe, I saw the defense of Xiaohe tribe with my own eyes. The place that is easy to defend and hard to attack is really not what we gaoshu tribe can eat at present. The terrain of Xiaohe tribe is too dangerous. I think if our gaoshu tribe is there, with the defense of more than 100 soldiers in our gaoshu tribe, we can resist the attack of thousands of people. And how many people are there in Xiaohe tribe? "

Wolf tail said: "high priest, we still have four inland river armed transport ships. The guns on them are very powerful."

The stone bear glared at the guy and said: "don't think we can run rampant if we have the four ships captured from the French. In order for the four ships to exert their power, there must be rivers. Although Xiaohe tribe has a river course connected with the outside world, we can't get into that river course because there are a lot of hidden reefs. Even if there are no hidden reefs in that river course, our ships can get into that river course, but do you think the four ships can reach the inside of Xiaohe tribe through that river course? I tell you, it's impossible. As long as our boat gets into the river, the river tribe only needs to send out 20 soldiers to stand on the hillsides on both sides of the river and use rockets to deal with us, and none of the four boats can run! "

The wolf's tail opened its mouth, and at last wisely shut up.

Stone bear took a look at Li Lei, and then continued: "I firmly oppose using force against Xiaohe tribe, because we don't have the ability to defeat Xiaohe tribe now. It's most reasonable to keep a normal trade with Xiaohe tribe, because we can get what we want without paying the lives of our people. "

After a pause, the stone bear said eagerly: "you can see the power of that grenade, so our tribe needs a lot of such grenades. With the grenade and our muskets and artillery, give me five hundred soldiers, and I can take them to the court of the chekasa. The most important thing is that these vasichu people also need this kind of firecracker. We can exchange the surplus firecracker with them for what we need. In the eyes of vasichu, firecracker is even more popular than salt. So, we need a lot of nitrates, and we only need to pay some salt to get nitrates. Why don't we use war instead of this kind of trade? "

Shi Xiong's words silenced all the people at the scene, including uncle Shi Chui, who had the biggest opinion on Xiaohe tribe.

In the end, the stone bear said forcefully: "moreover, I don't allow the people of our tribe to fight against the Xiaohe tribe. Because my wife is living there. If anyone dares to use force against Xiaohe tribe, first ask me if he agrees or not! "

Stone bear's words, especially the last one, made some people with ulterior motives sigh in their heart, and then stop making noise
