Chapter 375

If the expeditionary force can barely be called a first-class force, the recruits who took part in regular military training more than a month ago are at most second rate troops. As for the soldiers selected by other Cherokee tribes to take over from the expeditionary force, the third rate troops are appropriate.

There's no way. The stone bear wants to make all the 30000 or 40000 soldiers of the whole Cherokee tribe into first-class soldiers. But the stone bear knows that, at least in recent years, this idea is just a dream.

First class soldiers can not be trained only by training. Only those soldiers who have been fighting for the rest of their lives on the battlefield can be truly called first-class soldiers. Although these soldiers of the expeditionary army have fought dozens of battles, especially those who participated in the expeditionary team in the past, Shi Xiong knows that this level of fighting is far from enough for the training of the expeditionary soldiers.

How much training do you expect from the troops who win almost every battle with crushing superiority?

But there's no way. Compared to training these elite soldiers to become real veterans for the rest of the hundred battles through life and death training on the battlefield, Shi Xiong is more concerned about the life and death of these soldiers.

There are still few people!

Therefore, this life is precious. Those who can not die should try not to die.

It's better to crush than to throw your life on the battlefield.

Now, the Cherokee are sending some third rate troops to the Cree. Well, chief junaruska will never admit that they are third rate troops. In his eyes, the good men who go out from the Cherokee are the most elite soldiers.

According to the original plan, these Cherokee soldiers with original weapons will eventually replace the expeditionary army, and then the expeditionary army will come back to rest for a period of time and then go out with the stone bear.

It's just that the plan is not as fast as the change. With the spread of rumors that the Cherokee people easily conquered the powerful Kerry people, the originally peaceful strategic situation around the country has also undergone subtle changes.

The stone bear had to take a quick way to cut the mess and level the Powhatan alliance in the East as soon as possible, so as to build a very stable rear area for the Cherokee people. Even if the tribe in the West and even the Shawnee people in the North changed, the stone bear would not worry.

If the Kerry had won, and then the Powhatan alliance had won, the land and sea would be left to the East and south of the Cherokee, and no other Indian tribe could make a detour to attack the rear of the Cherokee.

As for the British, stone bears don't think they dare to tear their faces at present. One is that the trade between the two sides has been very happy. Stone bear did not see the possibility that Britain would turn its back on itself. Another reason is that the British people are a little self-conscious now. Although they have just agreed to a seven-year war, they have consumed a lot of national strength in this war. Now they are not able to fight a super tribe with a population of nearly 200000.

Yes, after the defeat of the Kerry, the entire Cherokee tribe can be called a super tribe in the whole North American continent in terms of territory area and population. At present, the only tribe that can compete with the Cherokee is the Kerry people living in South Central Canada (PS: This Kerry people is not the Kerry people just laid down, but a real big Mac super tribe, the most powerful Indian tribe in North America in the 18th century).

The Crees in the north are powerful, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Neither the French nor the British can reach that far, so the super tribe is not a big concern for the British now.

However, the Cherokee people who conquered the Cree people in the south are different. The territory of this tribe is directly adjacent to the thirteen colonies of the British in North America. The British dare not easily turn against such a super tribe in this era.

Stone bear is sure of this.

Because the stone bear can see clearly, the British people are suffering now.

Although the British won the seven-year war and the French were forced to cede their large colonies in North America, those colonies were like chicken ribs to the British. Except for New France in the north, French Louisiana in the middle of the Mihe River Basin was just chicken ribs.

In the mid-18th century, the British did not have the ability to develop the MI River Basin.

Moreover, the British colonists who are now in the thirteen colonies are also surging.

Especially in the middle of the 18th century, the economic development of British North American colonies was very rapid. The industry and Commerce in the North was developed, and shipbuilding was one of the main industrial sectors. Even in Britain, many people bought the ships made here.

The central region is rich in grain. The wheat, corn and other crops produced by the colonies such as Virginia, Carolina, Pennsylvania and Maryland are sold to the European market, and they are very popular in the European market; As for the prevailing plantation economy in the south, black slaves were the main labor force in the plantations. In addition to producing rice, they mainly planted tobacco, cotton, sugarcane and other cash crops.

At present, many products produced by British North American colonies can even compete with British products in the international market. This seems very good, but it has a great impact on British industry and agriculture.

Before that, Britain and France fought a seven-year war for the control of the North American colonies. Although Britain defeated France and controlled most of North America, it had financial difficulties because of the long war.

In order to alleviate the increasingly serious financial pressure, the British government has been increasing taxes on the colonies in North America, and has implemented a high-pressure policy, which has brutally squeezed and exploited the colonies. Britain hopes that North America will always be its raw material producing area and commodity market, trying its best to suppress the economic development of the colonies, and to seek more wealth from the colonies.

The British immigrants in the colonies must be very dissatisfied with the exploitation and restraint of the British government. Now the contradiction between the two sides has emerged, and it will not be long before it becomes more and more acute.

In addition, the defeated French have been making trouble for the British in North America, along with the Spanish and Dutch who have been coveting the North American continent. Now the British can definitely be called internal and external troubles.

Stone bear does not believe that politicians in the British government will not see this. In addition, the Cherokee people have always been friendly with the British government, so the stone bear is sure that the British government has not the courage to face the Cherokee people.

After all, in such a situation of internal and external troubles, to win over all the forces that can be won over and to ensure the stability of the North American colonies are the most important things that the British government's politicians need to consider.

It is undoubtedly in the immediate interests of the British government to make friends with the powerful Cherokee people!
