Chapter 546

"How's it going? Are the Iroquois safe or not? " They are all old brothers. As soon as we meet, we don't have too many greetings. Shi Xiong directly asks about the situation here.

The bighorn sheep shrugged his shoulders and made a sign for bone spear to speak.

Although the bighorn sheep is the top commander of the stormy bear army, he generally does not participate in the following matters. Now he is mainly responsible for formulating strategic plans, and he seldom participates in tactical matters.

The ten division commanders of the fierce bear army are the makers and executors of specific tactics.

For example, the defense line of sushengmali - Detroit - Cleveland, which was jointly formulated by stone bear and bighorn sheep, belongs to the strategic aspect, and the specific defense is the tactical aspect. In this regard, Gu spear, the second division commander, has more say.

"Generally speaking, the Iroquois are more comfortable in winter. In early winter, Iroquois once sent to harass us, but we used a 76mm cannon to blow it up, directly killing more than 1000 Iroquois. Since then, the Iroquois have been afraid to send troops to harass us. However, our balloon observers can see small groups of Iroquois moving in the distance every day, probably monitoring us. I didn't touch these little Iroquois either. These guys are faster than the grass hoppers. As long as we go out, they won't be able to find anyone for a while The introduction of bone spear is very simple, which shows that nothing big has happened here this winter.

Stone bear nodded and said, "before I came to you, I stayed for a few days at Kuaima in the north. Kuaima had encountered such problems. It was the Hurons who were harassing him in the early winter of last year. However, after fighting several times, the Hurons were afraid, so they did not dare to send anyone to harass him any more. Before I came here, the Hurons even sent messengers to make peace with us, and I refused. "

The bighorn sheep frowned and asked, "chief, it's a good thing that the Hurons take the initiative to make peace. Why did you refuse?"

The stone bear shook his head and said, "I just told them that we are here to conquer all the tribes here. No matter who you are, as long as you stand in our way, you will either surrender unconditionally or you will be beaten and collapsed by us. As for peace, we do not need to make peace with them, and they are not qualified to make peace with us. "

Bone spear laughed, clapped his hands and said: "boss, this is domineering! Why should those Hurons make peace with us? They really don't have that qualification! "

Bighorn sheep also nodded with a bitter smile.

"Don't the British here do anything special to us?" Stone bear asked again.

In fact, when building this line of defense, the stone bear was not worried about the Iroquois and Hurons, but about the British colonists who occupied Detroit and took over New France.

Detroit is not only an important city in the United States, but also one of the largest cities in the United States. Now, as a military fortress, Detroit castle is still a very important British fortress in the Great Lakes region.

As early as one hundred years ago, in the 17th century, the French discovered that Detroit was a suitable place to settle down. Later, in 1701, French officer Antoine dramot cartiac established pontchartranburg on the banks of the Derry in the name of the Earl of pontchartrane, the admiral of Louis XIV, As a fur trading center and an important military fortress in the Great Lakes region.

Later, in the seven-year war, the French lost their ownership of pontchartrand on the Detroit River, and the British took over the military fortress. The British simplified the name of the fort to Detroit. The British also sent a large number of soldiers and colonists stationed in the fort.

Detroit soon became one of the most important military fortresses in the Great Lakes region.

"In the beginning, the vasichus came to protest, including the British soldiers in red and some colonists. They said we were a threat to their safety, and I got in the way Bone spear said with a smile, "that gang of vasichu are scared! But what are we doing? This is our territory, not their British territory. "

The stone bear smiles and draws a big thumb at the bone spear.

"After that protest, those vasichu were quiet for a while, but one day, some drunken vasichu wanted to break into our garrison camp, and they fired. As a result, they were shot by our soldiers in a row and killed 14 vasichu directly. After that, those vasichu were scared immediately. Later, the highest officer of the fortress came to ask us why we wanted to kill their people. I said to the guy directly, you'd better take care of your people, otherwise if you annoy us, we will take over your fortress directly! It's like we rob those French fortresses! Then the guy was so scared that he didn't dare to make any more noise.... "

"Ha ha ha ha..." three people all laughed.

Stone bear has no doubt about the words of bone spear and bighorn sheep, because he knows very well that although this place has been used as a backyard by the British, now there are 10000 second division soldiers stationed near Detroit. Although the front line is relatively long, it also frightens the more than 2000 British garrison and more colonists in the Detroit fortress.

In addition, although the British at this time won the French in the seven-year war and took over a large number of French territory in North America, in fact, the British now are really a little preoccupied with themselves.

Now the British have no time to win over many powerful Indian tribes. How dare they offend these powerful Indian tribes?

Especially after the shooting of Lexington, the British people have fallen into dire straits. Their military strength in North America is not as abundant as they think, and the British government's purse is not as rich as they think. In the face of the war of independence in the thirteen colonies of North America, the British people can't even care about the uprising colonists, Where else would you like to offend the native Indians?

If it wasn't for the crucial position of Detroit, Boston might have to transfer all the British troops stationed in Detroit.

Besides, the power of the Cherokees is now known not only to the Indian tribes in the new world of North America, but also to the great powers far away in Europe.

Now the Spanish, French and British troops are equipped with a lot of Ferguson rifles, but they are flowing out of the Cherokee hands!

Now ten thousand strong Cherokee soldiers have come to Detroit. It's strange that the British dare to bomb!

Let alone the aftermath of the Pontiac uprising that broke out more than ten years ago, it is not over yet!
