Chapter 1787: Tara Asks for War

Because it was a support, Marin didn't even plan to equip these 2,000 Mao Gong shield players with a single knife. He plans to equip all 2,000 Mao Gong shield players with one-handed bats like baseball bats. In addition, strips of cloth are wrapped around the baton.

In this way, the equipment of these 2,000 Mao father-in-law is actually like a riot police in later generations, specially used to suppress resistance. There is no need for these Mao Gonggong shield players to worry about the war, what they have to do is to be responsible for capturing the local natives after victory. At the same time, the disobedient natives were beaten with short sticks wrapped in strips of cloth to make them be honest.

It was only fitting that 2,000 Mao-like fathers-in-law, armed with shields and short sticks, accompanied the colonial army to arrest people and watch over the captured natives. After all, these Mao fathers-in-law look strong and strong, but they are still a bit bluffing. Moreover, they are only dealing with unarmed Taíno civilians. As for the profiteering rebels with weapons, there are 500 soldiers in rhinoceros skin armor to deal with them.

In addition, regarding the command of the 2,000 Mao fathers-in-law, after discussing with Schwartz and others in charge of military affairs, it was decided to select a group of veterans who married Mao Mei to serve as the commander of this team.

The Beihai Kingdom has brought in more than 10,000 Mao Mei, most of whom have been sent to Las Vegas for special service projects, and most of them have been given to soldiers who have no wives and young male serfs who have behaved well.

Many veterans, because of their outstanding combat performance, were assigned to young and beautiful Mao Mei. After living with Mao Mei's wife for many years, under the influence of his wife, many veterans can already speak Rus. Although he is not particularly fluent, he has no problem communicating with the Maozi and directing them.

Therefore, Marin selected 100 Rus-speaking veterans to serve as instructors and officers of these 2,000 Mao Gonggongs, and instructed them to use short sticks and shields to suppress the backlash of the Tyanos.

Of course, these 2,000 Mao father-in-law is an out-and-out newcomer, and he has no skills. So, you still need to train well. Fortunately, those veterans are very good at training recruits and can speak Rus, so they are really suitable candidates for commanders.

Marin then asked the 100 veterans who could speak Rus's to take 2,000 Mao Gonggong to train first. Then, he began to prepare to select 500 reinforcements, and after one month, those Mao Gonggongs were almost trained, and they boarded a ship together to transport them to Santo Domingo on the island of Haiti.

But at this time, Tara, the governor of Havana, Cuba, did not know where to learn about the island of Haiti, so he sent a ship back to China and submitted an application to Marin for reinforcements from the Cuban colonial army to participate in the counterattack.

The island of Cuba, where Tara's Havana colony is located, is just west of the island of Haiti, and it is not surprising to know the news. After all, many of Santo Domingo's food supplies were shipped from the nearby Havana colony.

As for why Tara took the initiative to ask for war, it has to do with Tara's current situation. Because of the lowest ability among Marin's first 5 squires, Tara has always had a sense of crisis, for fear that she will fall out of favor.

In addition, there is the difficult birth of the governor of Cuba......

It stands to reason that there should be a Governor General on the island of Cuba. After all, it was also an important colony of the North Sea State. But because of Tara's mediocre abilities, Hedel's younger brother Wiltz did a good job in the Moa colony in the east of the island of Cuba, providing Marin with a large amount of nickel ore and sulfuric acid. So, Tara was a little nervous.

Although Tara is one of Marin's earliest "dragon heroes", Wiltz also has a lot of background. Wiltz's elder brother, Heidel, was the governor of Oldenburg under Marin, and he was very powerful. Moreover, it is rumored that when the old prime minister, Jeffrey the Fat, retires, the next prime minister is likely to be Haider. After all, although Haider was only from a merchant family, he was the first medieval college student to defect to Marin, and his seniority was very old.

Therefore, Tara has been worried that the position of governor of Cuba will fall to the head of his rival Wilts. After all, not only is he capable, but he also has an older brother who has set the next prime minister, and no matter how you look at it, he has a future than himself, Marin's former servant.

Then, if you want to compete with Wiltz for the position of governor of Cuba, you can only earn credit from other aspects. Obviously, merit is a good option......

You must know that military exploits are the most hardcore merits from ancient times to the present. No matter how great the merit of Wenzhi is, it is difficult to be knighted and feuded. But military exploits can, and hereditary.

In terms of cultural knowledge and ability, Tara, a former servant of Marin, who was born as a serf, is certainly not as good as the engineer Wilts. Therefore, Tara can only find a way from the merits of the war.

But the problem is that the conquest of the natives of the colony of Havana is his job as the governor of Havana, and even if he wins, he will not have much credit. After all, the local natives are too weak in combat.

However, this rebellion on the island of Haiti was different, because with Carlos, an indigenous young man who knew how to make a recurve bow, the fighting power of the indigenous people soared. Of the 500 colonists that Mercas brought, only 200 had some combat effectiveness, and the remaining 300 were actually masons who were responsible for repairing the castle. But the 200-level colony team was also killed, and more than 40 people were killed. In other words, McCass now has less than 160 armed forces. So, McCasse is panicking now......

The natives were not good at attacking cities, so with the remaining 150 or so militiamen, Mercas was barely able to hold the castle of Santo Domingo. But don't think about going inland.

Unlike Cuba, Tara has been here for 10 years. In these 10 years, Tara expanded the number of troops in the colony of Havana to 2,000 men. Otherwise, it would not be possible to conquer the island's 100,000 natives.

In addition, Tara also recruited "puppet troops" among the indigenous people, forming a puppet army composed of 2,000 Guanahada Beyi and Sibonne.

These "puppet soldiers" were given food and clothing by Tara, and they also lived in houses provided by the Beihai State, enjoying the same treatment as ordinary colonists. Their task was to oversee the work of the 100,000 indigenous plantations......

With the help of these "puppet troops", Tara and the 2,000 colonial army under his command were idle, and they went around to sweep around and expand their territory when they had nothing to do.

It just so happened that I heard that a rebellion had broken out on the island of Haiti. Therefore, Tara came up with the strength and directly asked Marin to fight, asking to lead troops into the island of Haiti and eliminate the thousands of rebels of the indigenous youth named Carlos......

Moreover, Tara said in the letter of request for war that although the local army of the North Sea Country is strong, if you want to fight in the tropical rainforest, the problem of climate adaptation is a big problem.

Although Beihai is now medically advanced, it not only has artemisinin to treat malaria, flower water to prevent mosquitoes, but also betel nut to treat tropical miasma. However, this can only ensure that the native colonists will not die, but it cannot guarantee that the native colonial troops will immediately adapt to the local climate.

Generally speaking, because they can't adapt to the tropical climate all of a sudden, many people will have some minor diseases that are not adapted to the soil and water. Although there is no danger to life, it will certainly not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short time. Just like the first colonial army of Tara, after arriving in Havana, it took a few months to recover and gradually adapt to the local climate.

Today, Tara and his 2,000 colonists are fully adapted to the local climate of the island and are well-versed in fighting the enemy in the rainforest. And if the army is mobilized from the mainland, a lot of food will be consumed in vain just a few months of adaptation......

After reading Tara's letter of invitation, Marin was right. However, what about Cuba's security with the mobilization of troops from the island of Cuba? What should I do if the local indigenous people rebel?

After thinking about it, Marin decided to consult with Schwarz, Stader and other high-ranking military officials to make a decision......
