The once beautiful living room was completely transformed, with a hideous moose skull hanging on the wall, several large pieces of animal skins spread on the living room floor, and an exaggerated old Indian woman holding a wooden staff muttering under the skull of the living room moose.

Nada, who had only been giving birth for three days, knelt in front of her mother with her son in her arms, bowing her head and muttering to herself.

At the other end of the living room, Li Xiang and his old father-in-law, who was also dressed in exaggerated clothes, looked at each other, and some meaning could be read in the eyes of the old man.

"Li Xiang, children will always be the future hope of our clan!" The old man pinched his cigarette and stared at the little grandson who was babbling in his daughter's arms, with a loving look in his eyes, "May God bless him to grow up to be a brave warrior in the future!" โ€

Depressed, this is my son, how did he become the future warrior of your clan? Li Xiang opened his mouth slightly, feeling weak at his mother-in-law's dizzying prayer ceremony.

Li Xiang still can't accept the only remaining matrilineal clan tradition of the Delaware Indian tribe in North America, but the strong mother-in-law can't be offended at the moment, so he can only slowly change the traditional thinking of the mother-in-law from his wife Nada.

The enlightened old man, Kenraton, has expressed support for the relocation of the entire village to the Indian Nature Village community on the southeast side of the new district of Mancheng, but the stubborn mother-in-law and a few elderly village elders still oppose it, on the grounds that it may lead them to abandon them from now on.

Several Delaware girls have now become spouses of the city's residents, and there are many more women from other tribes who will be accepted in the future, but the talk of pure ethnic blood has always held a fairly strong position in the whole of the new nation.

The young scholars, who had been nurtured by the tragic history of the nation, still maintained a strong sense of vigilance and a sense of historical crisis similar to the paranoia of persecution in the 17th century. Regardless of whether this view is appropriate or not, the idea that the Chinese are the only main ethnic group in the American Republic of China cannot get rid of it, including Li Xiang himself.

Even if more Indian girls like Nata can integrate into the Chinese community, it does not mean that the future Huamei will really treat all Indians equally like flesh and blood.

From the Pecots to the Mohok wars, public opinion has almost overwhelmingly supported a hard-line solution, and the attitude towards the already intimate Drava people around them is more like a delaying tactic in the midst of all-out vigilance.

Seven or eight surrounding villages, more than 3,000 people, directly worked as low-level laborers for this nascent pocket country, and the Drawa tribal villages in the entire Songzhou territory indirectly became the country's outer protective barrier, and the situation of relying on each other to survive would be almost impossible to change for a long time in the future.

At present, the relevant domestic legislation is clearly avoiding these sensitive concepts, which can be regarded as the most ambiguous. If you don't change the perception of the current situation in China, I'm afraid that something similar to Qiao Daqiang will eventually happen, what can you do at that time?

"Husband, husband! The mother named the child 'Baya'! โ€

Just when Li Xiang was in a daze, suddenly his little wife Na Da hugged her son and squeezed to her side, her face full of excitement.

Baya?! I'll it, this means "white bark" in the Delaware Indian language! Could it be that the mother-in-law thought that her little grandson was born on a white hospital bed in the hospital, so she came up with such a name?

"I've given him a Chinese name, Li Yinlin. Because the Drava people are descendants of the Yin Shang dynasty of the Chinese ethnic group thousands of years ago. The hukou was registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs yesterday, and Baya will be used as a nickname. โ€

Looking at the mother-in-law who seemed to be tired of dancing on the floor of the living room, Li Xiang muttered in a very small voice.

"However, the name of the tribal child should be ......" Looking at her husband's serious expression, Nada stopped, lowered her head in disappointment, pressed her son's small face to her cheek, and bit her lip tightly.

The mother-in-law, who suddenly closed her eyes and rested, got up and walked over, and actually smiled at Li Xiang for the first time.

"Kid, even if Baya and they become Chinese, please still let him remember the ancestors of the Delaware!"

After saying that, he coughed violently, and then pulled his husband Kenraton into the next room.

They? Probably refers to all the children born by intermarriage with the Chinese in the future...... Li Xiang understood it.

Wars between Indian tribes in North America often end in the killing of all the men of one tribe, and even more so in order to resist colonialism for hundreds of years, generations of Indians whose mission is to continue the blood of the tribe are struggling in the irreversible process of North American history.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Xiang felt panicked.

No, my son, and other children who are about to be born, cannot later be the executioner of the slaughter of Indians with half the same blood as them!

Gently holding the swaddling clothes in his wife's hand into his arms, touching his fingers and touching his son, who is black-haired, yellow-skinned and black-eyed, Li Xiang's blood all over his body is boiling.

"Nada, in the future, I will definitely make the Delaware and the Chinese a real family! We all have common ancestors! โ€

Holding his son in one hand and his little wife in the other, Li Xiang already had something in his mind.

The next day, Li Xiang submitted a report to Premier Qi Jianjun, and proposed a suitable opportunity to submit to Congress a "Yin Naturalization Law" specifically for Indian tribes, to establish a legal naturalization relationship with the newly promulgated "National Law" to accommodate the unstoppable long-term contact between the Chinese and the Indians.

Perhaps even with such a law, I am afraid that the country's relations with the Indians will still have a long, long way to go in the future.

Friday, October 22, 1621.

Accompanied by the two light cruisers Enterprise and Liberty, six sails loaded with the last export of the year began to slowly sail out of the bay towards the Azores. As long as he returns again at the end of the year, he will be able to fulfill the task of importing European trade materials in 1621.

The light cruiser Enterprise, which has undergone a quarter of intensive maritime training, will conduct its first real transatlantic training mission, in addition to serving as an armed escort for this European trade.

To this end, with the exception of Commodore Wang Tiezhu, who was already the commander of the newly established Navy Command, who personally sat on the Liberty to see him off, all 72 trainees of the Enterprise were carefully selected from the existing more than 160 naval officers and men, most of whom were of European descent, of course.

The former Acting First Officer and Chief Sailor Sergeant of the USS Enterprise, Sergeant Monty, was exceptionally promoted to Temporary Lieutenant of the Navy and transferred to the newly commissioned Light Cruiser USS Liberty.

The current acting captain of the Enterprise, Captain Sun Yang, is a veteran sailor who used to follow Caterina and former acting captain of the Mayflower, Admiral Admiral.

Unlike Adelaide, who spent hundreds or thousands of pounds to woo Adelaide, 37-year-old Andrew, who has 25 years of experience in strong winds and waves at sea, is simple and calm, and has hardly talked about any material conditions during the months of his trip to the Netherlands, and has always shown extreme loyalty.

The Danish-born man, who almost became a real pirate with Katerina, has now been awarded the rank of Temporary Lieutenant by the Navy Command, and will assist the acting captain Captain Sun Yang in charge of the enterprise's combat readiness training and escort mission in the open sea.

This "European-American officer in the history of the founding of the People's Republic of China" who was directly recommended by Su Zining is said to have almost caused a lot of turmoil at a regular hearing in the House of Representatives.

The third Vostok light cruiser, which is already at the end of the outfitting project, will face the end of being unmanned after the construction work is completed. This is also the reason why Congress resolutely did not approve the construction of new naval ships after the construction of the fourth light cruiser Delaware began.

The four enterprise-class light cruisers were the only naval combat equipment of the nascent US Navy, but it was extremely embarrassing to face the embarrassment of having only two warships with a quota of officers and men.

After a trade round trip in mid-October, with the exception of the Mayflower, which could no longer be overloaded and had to be overhauled, the remaining six sail galen ships, which had been drained by the Navy of most of its veterans, had once again an average crew count of less than 20 sailors. This also directly led the Diet and the Cabinet to attach great importance to the last European trade voyage of the year, and the escort of the light cruiser Enterprise solved everyone's concerns.

"Your Excellency, it looks like we must lower the sails and slow down, or Captain Adelaide and they won't be able to keep up."

Looking at the shadow of the ship with sesame mung beans in the west, Su Zining's former old follower, Lieutenant Andrew, couldn't help but sigh at the perverted speed of the Enterprise in this era. Even when sailing in the crosswind, it was almost above 7 knots, compared with the pitiful 4 knots of the sail Galen fleet that had fallen behind, like a young man holding five old ladies in his arms.

"Lieutenant Andrew, are you referring to the 'Wenwen' of the 'COSCO International Trading Company'? Well, like an old woman indeed! Su Zining looked back at Ren Changle, who had a bad face beside him, with a grin, and the poisonous snake habit came again, "Mr. Ren, how many rags did you collect this time, and you can actually fill the Wenwen number?" โ€

"You don't mind my business." Ren Changle rolled his eyes, and then quickly showed a bad face, "My shareholder, Sister Yang Wenwen, insist on not wasting all the space. No, in addition to common commodities such as iron tools, tiles, matches, and soap, she also bought the unused whalebone meal and smoked whale meat in the chemical warehouse, spending nearly 60,000 yuan! I bet the stinky hold now doesn't even keep rats alive! โ€

"Sell at least 100,000 worth of goods, it should be easy to sell. Do you have a lot of capital in your company? Su Zining was stunned for a moment, and smiled dumbly, "Honestly, how many people's shares have been pulled?" It allows you to buy so many goods at once. โ€

"In addition to the 500 of you, the foreign minister's miser, Dong Jiunan put in 1,000, Zhou Junting invested 800, and Liu Lao was the most generous, and he entered 1,500 ......" Ren Changle seemed to be a little dissatisfied, the same helpless, "I said, the original share capital of 30,000 US dollars for one person is not enough!" Why is it so little, I always think that the fixed assets of state-owned enterprises are more than 16 million plates, right? โ€

"You can be content, this time the children are raised by their own families, and only those over the age of 16 have been allocated the full share capital." Su Zining smiled lightly, his eyes fell on the sea in the distance, "In an instant, more than 400 capitalists appeared in the whole country, mixing sand with each other to buy shares, and everyone was firmly tied together. โ€

"This is not a ghost idea from you and Liu Xin, and you still say...... But isn't that just right, so you don't have to look at each other. To be honest, not to mention the big numbers, I really can't think of how many people have joined my COSCO International Trading Company shares! Ren Changle also sighed with emotion, "When Liu Xin's business investment fund comes out, it won't be many years before we are really hiding behind this country, hehe!" โ€

Looking at his friend's lewd smiling face, Su Zining looked stern: "Well, at that time, you will become a veritable dirty capitalist!" โ€
