After fooling the Saxons, Marin sent someone to inform Charles II, Duke of Guedes, that the target was dead, but the killer was besieged and killed.

However, Marin asked the messenger to express his anger to Charles II - why did the killer have a fake East Friesian army name tag on him?

When Charles II received Marin's news, he was stunned at first, but soon became happy - since the target was dead, he could rest easy. As for the question of framing Marin, Charles II hypocritically said that it was the personal habit of the killer, and in any country he went to, he would make a fake identity tag by himself, and it had nothing to do with him......

If Marin really didn't know, he would probably be angry with this explanation. In fact, Marin had already thrown the pot back to Charles II. This questioning is actually just to cover up the truth that he betrayed the two killers.

In addition, Marin is about to send troops to the east, and at this time it is necessary to appease Charles II, Duke of Guedes. If the other side takes advantage of its own troops to attack East Friesland, although the 10,000 militia can hold several main cities, the rural areas will definitely be ravaged by the other side. After all, the militia will definitely lose the field battle, so they can only retreat to the city to defend in order to offset the difference in combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Marin is still with Charles II, Duke of Geddes, because he is afraid that the other party will stab him in the back during the war. When the war in the east is resolved, if he turns back, Marin can't wait for the other party to provoke him, and he can fight back as a "victim......

……

As the spring ploughing was coming to an end, good news came from Cape Breton in North America—Garland had sent men to take control of Conabrook, off the western coast of Newfoundland, which Malin had marked.

It turned out that after Marin gave the order to take control of Newfoundland and search for the Bakkens lead-zinc mine, Garland immediately sent people to start searching for the Conabrook area against the map given by Marin.

Soon, after several comparisons, Garland's men found Conabrook. To Garland's surprise, there were no indigenous people in the Conabrook area......

Why? The Conabrook region is a western part of Newfoundland along the Channel Bay. Originally, there was indeed an indigenous tribe that was dominated by fishing.

However, Newfoundland fisheries are not in the western part of Newfoundland, but in the eastern, southeastern, and northeastern seas of Newfoundland, mainly due to the special environment created by the confluence of the warm Atlantic Current and the cold current of Labrador. The fjords of western Newfoundland are not confluences of ocean currents, and their natural fishery resources are not as abundant as those in the eastern, southeastern, and northeastern seas of Newfoundland.

As a result, a fishing village that used to fish here was relocated to the southeastern coast of Newfoundland. So, when the men sent by Garland arrived, they saw only an abandoned fishing village......

In fact, there is no shortage of fishery resources in the bay near Conabrook. Of course, it can't compare to the big fishing grounds on the east side of Newfoundland. The fishing methods of the local indigenous people are backward, and the success rate of fishing is not high. Therefore, the Newfoundland fishery is a super advantageous place for fishing, where fish can automatically jump into canoes.

In addition, the Gulf of St. Lawrence near Cornerbrook is blocked by Cape Breton Island because of the North Atlantic Current. Therefore, the harbor here is not ice-free, and when the temperature drops to a certain extent, that is, in winter, once the temperature is too low, the bay area will freeze, affecting fishing.

The local indigenous Indians did not have large fishing nets and did not have large fishing boats, and their catches were limited and they could not stock enough fish for the winter. Therefore, every winter, the people in the fishing village always go hungry. Only the southeastern coast, fully affected by the warm currents of the North Atlantic and not freezing in winter, is suitable for inefficient Native American fishermen.

So, after choosing a new place on the southeast coast of Newfoundland, the fishermen moved the village in canoes along the coastline, leaving only an abandoned fishing village......

Coincidentally, this abandoned fishing village is located in the area where the later Conabrook was located......

The people of Garand soon used this fishing village as a foothold, landed and began to build a stronghold, and sent people to look around to see if there were any other tribes.

But to their disappointment, there don't seem to be tribes in the vicinity......

It is no wonder that the total number of Beotuks on the island of Newfoundland at this time may not exceed 10,000. The island of Newfoundland is 110,000 square kilometers large, so the population is mostly concentrated in the southeast coastal area, and there are also some locals in the inland mountainous areas who live by grazing, but it is relatively small.

In this way, Garand's men, in Conabrook, succeeded in building a small castle. In the early days, only a small pillbox was built. Later, it slowly expanded to the size of a small town.

When a group of English settlers arrived on Cape Breton Island, Garland thought about it and sent 1,000 men to Cornerbrook, where he built a settlement of English settlers and walled it up.

In order to keep these English immigrants from freezing to death, Garand promoted the construction of very fast adobe houses in Cornabrook, and the promotion of ondols that were more comfortable than fireplaces......

The fireplace, although also warm, needs to be close to keep warm. The clay kang is different, after the fire is burned, you can lie on the kang and sleep comfortably. Moreover, the stove and chimney of the kang are outside the house, and according to Marin's original statement, it is safer than crying. Because, even if carbon monoxide is produced by incomplete combustion, it escapes outside and does not enter the house.

Of course, the fireplace also has a small chance of producing carbon monoxide. Mainly, the fireplace mainly burns wood, not coal, and whoever dares to burn coal in the house and then close the doors and windows is definitely looking for death......

Newfoundland has so much timber that there are English immigrants who are skilled in logging and carpentry. As a result, they became the main laborers of the immigrants to make furniture.

Fortunately, Garland's Cape Breton Island was well fed, and he was not afraid of the English immigrants starving to death. If there is a shortage of food, you can also ask the local mobilization......

The movement of thousands of English immigrants was very concentrated and frequent, and soon the area around Conabrook was affected by these immigrants.

The reason why Garand sent someone to report the good news to Marin this time was because some of the immigrants had discovered a huge limestone mine in the nearby mountains......

Before, Marin had specially instructed Garland to send someone to find a limestone mine near Cornabrook. This is important because limestone is the main raw material for making cement. As soon as the limestone mine was discovered, Marin could relocate the cement plant to Cornabrook.

There are large limestone mines near Conabrook and not far from the Sydney Coal Mine on Cape Breton Island. As long as you find a random clay area nearby, you can start producing cement on a large scale......

As for the polluting cement plant? Anyway, it's a remote place like Newfoundland, whatever......

Besides, it's secluded enough. Even if ships from other countries pass by, they usually pass through the east side of Newfoundland and do not go to the fjords to the west.

Marin was also overjoyed when he learned of the discovery of the large limestone mine in Cornerbrook. So, he ordered the cement factory to start separating some of the craftsmen, and planned to move to Cornabrook to prepare for the construction of a new cement plant.

In the future, cement production, Marin plans to put it on the side of Cornabrook. Anyway, there are plenty of raw materials over there. At most, Marlin bought enough fluorite from Europe to send it as a catalyst for the production of cement. As a catalyst, fluorite is not in high demand.

It's just that Marin's request to go to Bakkens in the mountains of Newfoundland to find lead-zinc ore has not yet been settled. After all, Newfoundland is too big. And it is indeed troublesome to find a lead-zinc mine from the mountains. But fortunately, Marin gave a reference - Red Indian Lake. As long as you find this long lake, you can find the Bakkens mining area. At that time, as soon as the lead-zinc ore comes out, Marin's galvanized "Silver Saint Seiya" will also be settled......
