Chapter 611: Provoking the Iroquois and the round-robin system

The matter of sending troops to North America is not too urgent, and Marin also has his own overall considerations. For example, Marin intends to make a big one this time-to provoke the Iroquois alliance, the strongest of the North American Indians.

Although this may seem like a death, Marin knew that only in this way would Marin's army have a long-term reason to stay in New York. Otherwise, after defeating the wild wolf tribe of the Mohigan people, they will have no reason to continue to be stationed in the army.

Moreover, Moxigan is actually not strong. Don't look at Marin only sending an army of more than 1,000 people. However, after training in jungle warfare, this unit is fully capable of destroying all Mohicans.

To this end, before the Expeditionary Force set off, Malinte found the military officer Gullit who led the army, and after arriving in New York with his army, do not rush to send troops, but first familiarize yourself with the North American jungle. Then, send spies to explore the distribution of local tribes. After finding out the situation, launch an attack.

In order to ensure the jungle combat capability of the Expeditionary Force, Marin is prepared to provide all musketeers of the Expeditionary Force with a clockwork rifle instead of a matchlock. This is because the arquebus of the arquebus, in the jungle, is easily scratched by the branches. It would be miserable if the fire rope was broken.

Moreover, in the dense forest, the road is narrow. If the matchlock gunmen huddle together, their own matchsticks can easily ignite their companions.

Therefore, Marin spared no expense and equipped the expeditionary forces with a rifle with a clockwork and ignition mechanism to facilitate their jungle operations. Anyway, there are only a few hundred musketeers, and even if all are equipped with clockwork muskets, the cost is not too high.

Marin remembers that the Iroquois seem to live in the northwestern part of New York State. The Mohigan tribe who came to New York for robbery this time lived in the upper reaches of the Hudson River in the northern part of New York State.

Therefore, Marin intends to allow Gullit to lead a pursuit battle instead of a annihilation battle.

The specific method is to break the zhaizi of the wild wolf tribe, but instead of destroying them, try to drive them to the west and to the Iroquois territory. Then, slowly chase down to the site of the Iroquois, by the way, make a bit of a conflict with the Iroquois and form a grudge.

In fact, this trick Marin learned from Chairman Jiang. The bald Jiang had Xue Yue lead the army and chased the Red Army all the way. But in fact, they did not try their best to catch up, but deliberately let the Red Army make a living.

Why? Because bald Jiang wants to take advantage of the opportunity to annex warlords from various provinces ...

For example, Wang Jialie of Guizhou was taken over by Xue Yue. The old king did not know the sinister intentions of bald Jiang, and after putting Xue Yue's army in, he was directly overhead.

After seeing Lao Wang's miserable end, Li, Bai of Gui province and Long Yun of Yunnan province later tried hard to prevent the Red Army from entering their hinterland, but they were afraid to repeat Wang Jialie's mistakes.

In fact, the Long March was just a game of cats and mice played by bald Jiang. The cat took the opportunity to chase the mouse and ran to other kittens ’homes to bully other kittens ... But in the end, the bald Jiang did not expect that the Red Army, who was once regarded as a mouse by him, turned over and turned He also did it ...

Of course, the wild wolf tribe of the Moxigan people is not worthy of parity with the Red Army. Their only role is to escape, and then trigger a conflict between Gullit's expeditionary force and the Iroquois. When there is a conflict between the two, there is no need for them to exist.

Provoked the Iroquois alliance, the situation is very serious. Because the Iroquois can dispatch thousands of fighters, it looks very powerful.

If it is on the plain, a thousand of Gullit is enough to hang down the thousands of Iroquois warriors. However, if it is in the dense jungle, it is difficult to say.

Fortunately, Marin equipped the Expeditionary Force with veteran hunters and Alsatian wolfhounds. However, it seems difficult to pursue quickly. Because, for the sake of safety, the expeditionary soldiers all wear armor, and the lowest is also a piece of wood armor (mahjong mat). Under heavy load, it seems difficult for the expeditionary army to catch up with the enemy in the jungle.

But this is not important. Marin had no intention of defeating the Iroquois all at once, but looking for excuses for conflict and troop dispatch.

With the further conflict with the Iroquois, Marin had reason to increase his troops, and he fought fiercely in the North American jungle with the Iroquois.

Marin is not anxious to eliminate the Iroquois, but wants to take advantage of the conflict with the Iroquois, to train troops on a large scale, and let his soldiers adapt to the jungle war.

At the same time, the battle with these Native Americans is not very high, so it is particularly suitable for training recruits.

The veterans of a hundred battles were fought out, not just by training. Marin has been victorious before, relying on advanced equipment and training and combat methods.

However, with several big wins, Marin can be sure that both the Spanish phalanx and the matchlock will be promoted in Europe. In the next war, Marin was not facing a backward medieval army, but an enemy with a musket and mimicking the Spanish Phalanx. Although the opponent may not be very authentic, it will also cause trouble to Marin's army. Therefore, Marin needs more disciplined and brave veterans. And the war with the Iroquois is also an important means of training the courage and ability of recruits. Especially, let them see the blood ...

As for how to train so many recruits? Marin decided to imitate our army's system of fighting South Vietnamese monkeys in future generations ...

What is a round battle? This is the method by which the major military regions take turns to send troops to the front of Laoshan to engage in small-scale border conflicts with monkeys in South Vietnam. Through this method, troops in all parts of the country can be exposed to brutal war. At the same time, it can also compare the combat effectiveness of the military in various regions. Find weaknesses and improve them.

Of course, Marin's purpose is not this. His purpose is to train recruits. After months of queuing and tactical training, recruits cannot immediately enter a decisive battle. Because they have not seen blood, they fight decisively as soon as they come up, and they are prone to collapse. Therefore, we must first find a weak opponent, let them see the blood, exercise courage and courage.

However, the Iroquois are really not weak, and are considered to be the strongest among the indigenous people. Of course, the current Iroquois alliance is just a loose alliance. It was not until the emergence of the wise man, Warsaw, around 1570 that the Iroquois six-nation alliance stabilized and a formal alliance headed by Warsaw was formally formed. Unlike the current Iroquois, although they also form alliances, the six major tribes are also filthy with each other, which can only be regarded as a loose alliance.

But this is also good news for Marin. If the official Iroquois alliance is established, the Iroquois's combat effectiveness is too strong, and it is not suitable for training recruits. It is the loose alliances of the Iroquois that are suitable for training new recruits.

Moreover, through the round-robin battle with the Iroquois alliance in the jungle, Marin can also allow the officers below to see the quality of the soldiers in the battle. In this way, it is also convenient for Marin to select the most elite soldiers and form elite troops for the main battlefield in Europe.

To put it bluntly, Marin used the now loose Iroquois alliance as a copy of the recruit training level. Unfortunately, those Iroquois were used by Marin as a stranger to train recruits ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Through round-robin battles, Marin can also pass officers to see which soldiers are excellent and which are not qualified. . Outstanding soldiers are incorporated into the main force to strengthen combat power; if they are not qualified, they are eliminated, or they are incorporated into the local police force to maintain local security ...

In addition, Marin also has an idea that he wants to open up the road to the Great Lakes ...

The Iroquois occupy the southeastern part of the Great Lakes. As long as they occupy the Iroquois' territory, it is equivalent to opening up the road to the Great Lakes.

What are there in the Great Lakes? There are famous iron mines in the northwest region! Mount Mashabi is located on the edge of a large lake in eastern Minnesota. The entire mountain is an iron-rich mine with more than 60% iron.

To the south of the Iroquois site is the Appalachian Mine. Therefore, it occupies the site of the Iroquois, with iron mines to the west and coal mines to the south. The geographical location is very important. Otherwise, the northwestern United States, especially near the Great Lakes region, will not develop into the earliest industrial center in the United States.

For Marin, who understands the importance of industry, the vicinity of the Great Lakes in the northwestern United States is the most elite region in North America. The United States can rise without the coal of the Appalachian Mountains and the iron ore of the Great Lakes. And now, all this will be in the hands of Marin ...
