Stone bear called the four alchemists together, but he did not call Lieutenant Ferguson.
It's not that stone bear didn't call him, but the British Royal Army Second Lieutenant, who has been calling himself "the boss", when he heard that there was a new rifle ready for research and development, he just considered for a moment and resolutely refused to participate in the research and development of the new gun.
"With my help, this rifle can come out and be named after my family name, which has realized my dream in my life. Although the new rifle that you are in charge of is definitely more powerful than Ferguson's rifle, I can't participate in it any more. This is a secret belonging to your gaoshu tribe. As a British soldier, I am not suitable to participate in the research and development of new guns. Well, like your grenade, I'd better not get involved. " With a smile on his face, Lieutenant Ferguson, holding a Ferguson rifle, said firmly.
Even Shi Xiong doesn't know how to refute such a reason. Obviously, his little brother wants to go home in his heart. That's why he says so.
After all, this guy has been here for two years. No matter how free he is, it's not as good as his own home.
In this regard, the stone bear in addition to silent or silent.
But that's good. If Lieutenant Ferguson is really involved in the development of the new gun, he won't know how long it will take for him to leave here.
It is estimated that he is also waiting for the research and development of new rifles, because once the new generation of rifles is successfully developed, Ferguson rifles, as a backward generation, will not become a highly valued core secret, and he can leave here freely.
Stone bear knows what Lieutenant Ferguson thinks. No wonder he will do such a thing as "an open shot" in the original historical time and space.
Now, although he hasn't made the "open shot" in the face of watsonton, in order to keep the secret of gaoshu tribe, he would rather stay here alone for two years!
Patrick Ferguson is a real gentleman
Ferguson didn't take part in the research and development of the new gun, which made the stone bear get rid of some worries. After discussing with the four alchemists, well, it should be a week later that he gave them all the work, and then he was ready to go to the east side of the tribe.
There is no need for Shi Xiong to worry about the development of new rifles. Shi Xiong is confident that the experience accumulated by the four alchemists in the development and production of Ferguson rifles under their own guidance will make the development of new rifles much easier.
In particular, it is absolutely impossible for the rotary rear pull gun to have been developed for 22 years like Dreiser in the original historical time and space.
Stone bear estimates that given these four guys two months, they can take out sample guns
It's not the stone bear's boast. He has a golden finger. He is too powerful in the research and development of new guns. If the stone bear is asked to make an M16 or AK47, he may hesitate, but the stone bear really knows the working principle of this rifle made in the 19th century.
There are four crazy experimental dogs for the specific test of the sample gun. It is estimated that the sample gun will be slow in two months
The development of new rifles is in no hurry, but the action of the eastern Powhatans can't wait any longer.
The Cherokee wiped out a large tribe with a population of 100000 with a mere 2000 people. In a single battle, the army composed of 20000 elite soldiers collapsed. This incident has now begun to spread among the surrounding tribes.
After all, the expeditionary army could not and could not kill all the Crees, so as long as someone was there, some rumors would spread faster than smallpox.
Now it's more than three months since the expedition defeated the Crees, and it's more than a month since the stone bear returned to the gaoshu tribe. According to the news from the red city alliance, the Mississippi and Kentucky allied forces in the West have begun to give up attacking the territory of the chekasa, and the chekasa are also ready to move, The bowatans in the East are shrinking to the East.
The most troublesome thing for the royal court is that the Shawnees, the allies in the north, seem to be wary of something.
Shawnees are a powerful tribe living in the Middle East of the United States and the northern Appalachian Mountains.
This is not nonsense. At its peak, the Shawnees controlled territory as far east as Maryland, South as Alabama, north as Ohio, and West as Illinois. That is to say, most of the territory controlled by the Cherokee people used to be Shawnee territory.
Moreover, the Shawnee people have such a vast territory, and their social system is quite strict. Unlike many other tribes, most of their subordinates and tribes are not loose alliances, but have a standardized system of subordination and command, so they have a strong cohesive force.
Therefore, at its peak, the Shawnees did not dare to provoke the Shawnees, whether it was the Iroquois League further north, the Sioux, the Cheyenne, or the kros, the powerful tribal alliance in the West.
However, as early as three or four hundred years ago, the Shawnee people began to turn from prosperity to decline, and a large area of territory they originally controlled was also occupied by some rising tribes. For example, the Powhatans and the Crees in the South occupied large areas of Shawnee land.
In order to ensure the continuity of the tribe, after the Shawnee people began to decline, they took the initiative to form an alliance with the neighboring Cherokee people. At that time, the Cherokee people were still living in the southeast of the great lake, and the territory of their tribe just bordered on the Shawnee people.
Later, when the Cherokees were driven out of the Great Lakes by the Iroquois and the delavais, they moved southward through Shawnee territory. The Shawnees helped the Cherokees a lot at that time, and when the Cherokees came to monongahira, they were also the ones who were familiar with the local conditions and took the initiative to lead the way, and finally helped the Cherokees beat the Powhatans away
Although the Shawnees were conquered by the westward US Army in 1811 near the town of prophet, they fled north and were chased by the US Army to Malawian on the North Bank of Lake Erie, killing the Shawnee chief in the battle of Thames. After the civil war, Shawnee had to move to Oklahoma
Although the Shawnee people are not as powerful as they were in their heyday, they are also a very powerful tribe and loyal allies of the Cherokee people. But now, with the defeat of the Kerry people, this loyal ally even has a vigilant action, which is not good news for the stone bear.
So the stone bear plans to win the Powhatans as soon as possible, and the fact that the strength of the Cherokee tribe has risen wildly has been confirmed, so that the surrounding tribes have a greater fear, so as to lay a good foundation for the future combat strategy.
Stone bear doesn't want to fight with the Powhatans when the tribes in the West unite to fight with the Cherokees, and doesn't want the Shawnees in the North join the alliance because they are afraid.
The rapidly changing strategic situation around the stone bear has to make a decision as soon as possible. Therefore, the eastern Powhatan people must win as soon as possible!
