Chapter 342: Iroquois cannon fodder
Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info at the same time to maintain hundreds of thousands of soldiers in service to carry out the war, even if the Han Empire looted the entire Greater Mexico and most of South America, at this time it has also reached the end of the period of captivity!
A large number of young and strong people died in battle is not a big problem, but the long-term wartime economy has produced a large number of guns and ammunition and other killing weapons, and at the same time, people's livelihood products have become more and more scarce!
The Native Americans, who had not experienced the life of 'modern' people for many years, once again returned to the difficult period when the Han Empire had just been established......
Although this approach can make Zhao Dutian take a breather, it completely exposes the weak state of the war between the Han Empire and the Anti-Han Alliance, and even the Iroquois Alliance in Canada can see that the Han Empire, which annihilated the elite main force of the English Empire at the beginning, and the invincible Han Empire, is now in a weak state!
Although the Indian tribes in North America are ignorant and backward, it does not mean that their IQ is naturally lower than that of normal people, especially the Indians who can become chiefs and elders, all have the most basic sense of crisis politics!
In the Anglo-French Colonial War, the Iroquois League resolutely stood on the side of the British, and with the help of the victory of the British, successfully annexed the Indian allies on the French side, and became the most powerful native Indian force in Canada, the Iroquois Grand Alliance!
At the same time, the strength of the entire alliance also made the loose alliance of the Iroquois closely united, and gradually had the prototype of a political power!
Of course, the rising Iroquois Confederacy was naturally hostile to the Han Empire, the ruler of the West Coast of North America!
The collapse of the Sioux people, the largest Indian tribal alliance in the central interior of North America, sounded the alarm for everyone in the Iroquois Alliance, and those chiefs and elders knew very well that Zhao Dutian, a native of the Americans, was not to liberate the Americas, but to become the tyrant of the Americas!
People who really grasp the power, often few people will take the initiative to let go of the right, unless they are forced to do so, forced by the situation, for their own lives, etc., will really withdraw from the stage of power, otherwise, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, these people in power are willing to try!
Originally, in a battle in Louisiana, the Han Empire gathered and annihilated ninety percent of the elite of the British in the North American colonies, so that the Iroquois Alliance, which was about to move, did not dare to accept the 'good intentions' of the British!
Nowadays, the tragic war in South America has consumed too much of the living force of the Han Empire, and a fool can see that the Han Empire is now in a weak period, and the Iroquois Alliance is naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity!
During the confrontation between the anti-Han alliance and the Han Empire, the Iroquois Alliance, whose strength was well preserved, happily accepted the funding of the British and began to attack the border of the Han Empire in the south!
In an instant, the Iroquois' ferocious combat fervor and precise axe became a nightmare for the garrison militia in Louisiana!
The indigenous warriors that the Han Empire could really fight had long since filled the meat grinder on the battlefield in South America, leaving behind the local garrison militia of the old and weak women and children, where could they stop the wolf-like Iroquois warriors?
The Goddess of Victory really began to favor the Iroquois Alliance, and after the vanguard troops annihilated the Han garrison militia left behind in Louisiana in a devastating manner, the Iroquois Alliance swelled and became arrogant, and then unsurprisingly took out all the main forces, like snatching the spoils of war, and marched into the core region of the Han Empire - California!
However, whether it was the British who fanned the flames in the back, or Zhao Dutian, who invited the king into the urn, they all looked at this group of Iroquois barbarians who had not completely escaped from the cold weapons as if they were fools, and crashed headlong into the defense area of the Han Imperial Forest Army......
Since the invasion of the Americas by the white European colonists, it has been constantly confirmed that the Indians are fighting guerrilla warfare in the jungles and mountains, which is absolutely a good hand, and even the regular colonial army, if they do not have an advantage in numbers, is likely to be beaten by the Indian soldiers to beat an embarrassing casualty comparison!
On the contrary, as long as the white colonists do not rush forward, steadily cover each other step by step, and only fight a frontal war, those Indian tribes, the powerful warriors who are turned into warriors can only be reduced to cannon fodder!
Indian warriors who fought without discipline and organization and fought completely by brute valence faced a volley of muskets, and even hand-to-hand combat became a luxury, as long as the European armies lined up and met the enemy in the open area, the Indians would never be able to fill up!
That's why many Indian tribes later spent a lot of money to buy European firearms!
Unfortunately, there were many sharpshooters in the Indian tribes, but with their lack of training, even if they had firearms, it was difficult for them to defeat the small number of European armies!
The reason why Britain and France spent a lot of money to win over the indigenous Indian tribes was mainly because of the advantages of the two of them, with a large number of people and strong hand-to-hand combat ability!
Unless there is a war between the great powers, otherwise, the number of troops stationed in the American colonies is very small, and they rely on the colonial militia to maintain law and order on weekdays.
At this time, almost all the Indian soldiers, naturally fell into the eyes of the white Europeans, and all kinds of Indian mercenaries entered the European colonial legions to serve, and there were even examples of entire Indian tribes defecting to the whites!
However, white Europeans may be more merciful to enemy soldiers who are also white, but for those Native American mercenaries, it is definitely more brutal and brutal!
Once the white Europeans who took refuge in the Indian tribe are defeated, then this Indian tribe will definitely be completely wiped out by the victorious side!
That's one of the reasons why the Iroquois Alliance is one of the best in Canada!
The British tricked the Iroquois to attack the Han Empire, but they did not have the goal of defeating Zhao Dutian, although the British lost their elite, but gritted their teeth and armed a hundred and eighty thousand militia in North America, it was still possible!
But the militia's morale was very problematic, and this was already the last strength of the North American colonies, if they were defeated by the Imperial Guards in the attack on the Han Empire, wouldn't the British have to completely withdraw from North America?
So, this kind of tentative consumables, let the Iroquois take care of it!
During the colonization, the British's ability to find cannon fodder and demagoguery was not low, but India, which was not large, was not defeated by the British native army alone!
