1717 New American Empire

After a year of development, Yanhuang Trading Company has encountered its own bottleneck. The labor force of more than one million people has been fully exploited. Adding more burdens may affect people's health and efficiency will decline in the long run. Although it is not as good as

These people can't feel the tiredness of their previous life, but a scientific research team composed of several nutritionists under Xiao Lin has already issued a warning, and Xiao Lin can't ignore it. After all, the population is small, and every one is used up. In the short term, it will be very difficult for Xiao Lin to ignore it.

It is difficult to rely on self-replenishment.

In the past, due to the poor living environment, there were not many newborns. Later, the environment improved, and there were more newborns, but they were all babies, and it would take more than ten years for them to reach adulthood. In addition, the market itself has become saturated, even with Spain

and Portugal are helping digestion, there are still signs of overcapacity. There are still a huge number of scattered Indian tribes remaining in the North American continent. After all, there are tens of millions of Indians, and the number of dead in so many years of war has not reached the level of several million.

The small tribes that can be easily annexed have all come to the company. Of course, it does not rule out that there are still some small tribes that have not joined due to the distance and various artificial and non-artificial obstacles on the road to the company. The remaining tribes,

They were divided into two camps. One was a little more open-minded and had contact with the company. They exchanged various precious furs and gold ores for some steel knives, steel axes and composite bows made from scraps in the company's arsenal. Then they became ambitious and started to do things.

tribe.

The other camp is the old and powerful tribe that has not contacted the company due to the distance or inconsistent ideas, but because its strength has been surpassed, it faces the challenges of new tribes every day. The two sides fought fiercely, but because there were no firearms, the battle was not large-scale, and the number of casualties was also low.

Not much. In the eyes of the company's observation agents, apart from the fact that their battles were several times more bloody than the company's in dealing with prisoners and wounded, other aspects of their battles were not much different from the company's battles.

Xiao Lin couldn't bear it anymore and began to secretly send out four field brigades to encroach on the Indian tribes starting from the periphery. This kind of battle was too simple for the field brigades. The generation gap in weapons was too big. One was cold

In the age of weapons, one is the age of automatic firearms, and there is no pressure at all. Even in mountain guerrilla operations and scout battles, field brigades are far superior to the Indian warriors of these tribes. On one side are professional troops, and on the other side are semi-militiamen with only the courage of ordinary men. This is based on

There is a difference that even bravery cannot make up for.

Xiao Lin gained 30,000 new people in one month, but the remaining Indian tribes received no news at all. Xiao Lin saw that the field brigade was overkill, so in order to defend the coastline, he transferred the field brigade back.

Four garrison brigades were replaced. Unexpectedly, this replacement also caused trouble. Xiao Lin originally wanted to train troops, but he did not expect that the garrison brigades had a major shortcoming compared to the field brigades. The blockade capability was inferior.

People who can't join the field brigade.

During a new siege, several people ran away. Now, all the Indian tribes knew about it. The Indian tribes deeply despised the company's actions against the tribes that had come into contact with them, and they were also very angry.

There was a moment of panic. None of these people wanted to give up the tribe and join the company independently. The company's behavior was touching their bottom line. What Xiao Lin didn't know was that someone had already passed a message between them.

Some time ago, I don’t know who did it, which caused the outside world to doubt Xiao Lin’s identity as Indians. Because of the appearance of Chinese people like Lin Xin, some people seemed to have discovered something was wrong, and then it was spread that Xiao Lin might not be

News about Indians. The rumor is that they saw Xiao Lin and others communicating in Chinese fluently, but they had no understanding of Indian languages. Xiao Lin knew at the beginning that this was a huge flaw, so they never took the initiative to admit that they were

Indian.

But when such a message appeared, Xiao Lin couldn't investigate it. Alexey and the others brought the most elite agents to investigate, and found that there was actually a shadow of the church in it, and the Templars had not been exterminated and were hiding among the people to cause trouble.

Alexei led them to continue the investigation, and they left the company's territory. They were desperate in their hearts. Even though the words had spread, not a single Indian under the company's rule came out to question and resist.

Xiao Lin's tactics of using a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other were too terrible. Even if these people had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to question Xiao Lin's leadership. Except for the Eagle Tribe, the other Indians who joined the company were made comfortable.

, it is still unforgettable to this day. The Eagle Tribe, because it is a direct believer of the Sun God, clearly understands that Xiao Lin is the messenger chosen by the Sun God. Even if Xiao Lin is not an Indian, they will not have any disrespect towards Xiao Lin.

.

The old Eagle is still there. In order to ensure that the Eagle tribe members are at the top of the company, they have to take the initiative to maintain Xiao Lin's dominance. Therefore, no matter how popular this message is, it will not have any bad impact on the company.

Those who should go to work should go to work, and those who should train should continue to train as usual. In this case, they had no choice but to leave and go to the Indian tribes that had not joined the company to continue spreading rumors and undermine Xiao Lin's prestige.

Don't tell me, this is really effective. These people were originally vacillating in the middle and did not agree with Xiao Lin's reform of Indian traditions. Many of the things that they thought showed bravery were banned by Xiao Lin as punishment for death.

, these barbarians themselves were dissatisfied. Now it turned out that Xiao Lin's Indian identity was not true, so they naturally drifted away. The two camps began to cease fighting, and there was a vague intention to unite to fight against Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin was also very helpless. These Indian barbarians are uneducated and stubborn as hell. However, this seems to be a common problem among uneducated people. They have no knowledge and only have a few traditions in their minds. Regardless of whether they still have a good role in modern society.

As long as you disturb their traditions, you will risk your life if you incite them. Xiao Lin was also outraged and directly issued an ultimatum. Within three months, all Indians in the North American continent must lay down their weapons to the company troops who came to take over.

, otherwise it will suffer a devastating blow from the company.

Xiao Lin once again started the pace of army expansion. This time the army was directly expanded to 100,000 people. The field brigade was officially expanded to three field divisions, the brigade-level establishment was cancelled, and the original third field brigade was used as the base, directly expanded to 100,000 people. The garrison

The brigade was simply reduced to seven garrison divisions, and the militia

It is not included in the coordination scope of the regular army. Instead, the scale of the militia has been reduced for the first time because it was transferred to the regular army. The production capacity of the arsenal has fully exploded. The imitation work of Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns has been completed, and the scale of equipment has begun to expand.

The Yanhuang series of rifles have begun to be gradually phased out from the regular army, and only half of the army is still using them. There is nothing that can be done about the machine guns, and the water-cooled heavy machine guns and ZB-26 light machine guns still occupy the main position. This is the case with machine guns, let alone artillery.

Of course, even so, an army of 100,000 people is not something that the barbarians can resist. Even if these people are very large in number, two million in total, the proportion of warriors is very large, one quarter of them are warriors. One to five.

Proportions will not be taken seriously by the company's army.

However, the tribe was very confident. The five-member team prepared by the Templars came here and began to exert their strength. They continued to travel around and prompted two million Indians to unite. They also contacted some smugglers and bought various muskets for them.

and artillery. Don’t think that these European countries with colonies in North and South America dare not mess with the company, so no white people dare to sell weapons to the company’s enemies. Businessmen in the budding period of capitalism are no worse than later generations. As long as there is profit,

I don't care if it offends anyone.

Xiao Lin's intelligence network is not that strong. He knows that there are people who dare to commit crimes, but he cannot pinpoint all the individuals. However, Xiao Lin also has his own calculations. After the battle is over, there are many ways to deal with these arms that cost money but not life.

Businessman. For three months, both sides were constantly deploying troops. Xiao Lin's 100,000 troops were divided into three large groups for combat. A field division led three garrison divisions, and the remaining garrison division was

Guard logistics and supplies.

Correspondingly, the Indian tribal alliance was also stubbornly divided into three groups, each led by three groups of powerful Indian tribal chiefs. The Indian barbarians prepared for three months and only had a firearms force of 10,000. Compared with them, they were smuggling.

, regular major manufacturers dare not sell their firearms. So even if they have enough money, they have not collected enough quantities. What is more, they are cold weapon troops. Among them, archers and blowguns are their output.

Xiao Lin has sold more than 20,000 cold weapons, which can only be equipped by their elite troops. The rest are made by themselves. There are stone weapons, so don't expect these troops to have any combat effectiveness. The only thing that allows

Xiao Lin looked sideways and saw that there were still 100,000 cavalry troops. Among the two million barbarians, many tribes were good at raising horses. It was normal for them to raise 100,000 horses. If the cavalry were used well, they could break into the rear of the company's army.

, but it may cause huge harm to the company's army.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the Indian bandit cavalry that destroyed settlements, Xiao Lin dispatched the tank unit that had been expanded to the tank regiment. Among them, twenty Type 59-1 tanks were the main force and had formed a complete combat effectiveness. There were also five

Ten White Tiger Type 1 tanks serve as auxiliaries, and the new ten-ton tank White Tiger Type 2 combat medium tank is still under development, and no finished product has appeared. Thirty armored vehicles have been used, all of which are combat types. There are still many in number.

, there just aren’t enough qualified drivers.
