At the foot of the mountain in White Rock City, people are busy in full swing.

There are no bridges on the Yellowstone River, and there are not as many boats. But there was a clever Indian who invented the method of tying dozens of canoes together to carry timber from the other side of the river;

The iron ore in the Burak Mountains is not of high grade and contains many impurities, and the quality of the steel produced by the ironworks varies in the absence of analytical and detection methods. But the enthusiasm for refining this golden molten iron was so high that every onlooker wanted to try it, and gradually, it was found that a few of them seemed to have mastered some kind of trick;

There were also problems with the refining of gunpowder, and mountains of sulfur and charcoal were piled up, but saltpeter had no eyebrows. But it wasn't a big deal, and a guy who didn't even have clothes to wear said he had seen this kind of thing before, and he had already taken people with him and didn't know where to find it.

Food is scarce, and there are no more fish in the river. But this did not bother the Indians, who came out of nowhere a few vendors, who brought in corn and wheat, and if anyone was willing to spend money, they even magically conjured a bottle of wine from the cart behind them.

What happies Turtledove the most is that a guy named 'Friday' twisted oil-soaked paper and gunpowder together to invent something similar to a 'delayed fuze'. The turtledove gave him a cow as a reward!

The city, like a toddler who has just learned to walk, is still stumbling and stumbling.

But it has begun to show its talent, and unlike the tribe in the mountains and forests that depends on the sky for food, from the first day it was born, it has learned to 'steal' food from the world.

The difference between industrial civilization and agricultural civilization lies in the word "robbery" from the inside.

Sometimes, the turtledove sits on the balcony, watching the noisy crowd below, watching them fight for something inexplicable, and thinks that this is the spirit of a new industrial city.

"Look, how wonderful!" Turtledove stood on the balcony and watched two groups of workers fight in the distance.

The two groups of men and horses held heavy steel pipes in their hands, and under the instigation and encouragement of the surrounding crowd, they gradually approached, and finally they did not know whether they were ignited by the spark, and they crackled into a ball.

Carrying a gun, he led people to curse and run down the road down the mountain.

There is no law in White Rock City now, and what Ikaruga says is law.

There is no prison in White Rock City, and the gun in the hand of the giant is their prison.

Just like the Great Western Wilderness, the newly born White Rock City, even if it gathers a sea of people, still exudes a wild and wild atmosphere.

Wild growth, extensive expansion!

"The team led by that fast gunner will be here in two days at most." Fifteen dollars said.

All this in front of you, no matter how good. Once that white army rushes over, it will be like a river beach invaded by waves, bare and nothing left.

Civilization is fragile.

In the early days of its birth, it was as fragile as a paper lake.

Not to mention, the newborn child in White Rock City was purely cultivated by the turtledove in the form of a test tube, and it was even more fragile.

"I know."

Turtledove said.

"I know how hard this battle is!"

"But I also know that as long as I win this battle, from now on, it will be the road to the sky!"

……

in the conference room.

"Right now, we're in a good situation!"

Ikaruga summoned the main backbone of White Rock City, including several newly promoted Sioux people, and held a meeting with them.

On the table in the conference room, a large dustpan of popcorn was placed in the air, and the sweet smell of corn was in the air.

"We have established ourselves in White Rock City, and the nearby tribes, large and small, have recognized our existence, which is a good phenomenon!"

"You see, more and more people are coming to White Rock City, and every day is increasing. Through the efforts of these people, White Rock City is changing with each passing day, and I estimate that in another month, the population here will exceed 10,000! ”

"This is the first city built independently by us Indians since the white people landed!"

Wearing a suit seized from the wardrobe of the headmaster of the Carlisle Industrial School, Ikaruga rolled up his sleeves high, one hand on his waist, and the other hand gesturing vigorously in the air.

Speaking of this, he inevitably felt pride in his heart.

Cities play a much greater role in aggregating people than tribes. At the beginning, the tribe in the mountains and forests gathered tens of thousands of people from scratch, and it took nearly two years. Moreover, this has to be thanks to the defeat of Fury.

However, if Baishi City continues to develop like this, it will be able to reach the scale of 10,000 people after waiting for another half a year at most.

And that's when food and supplies are quite expensive.

Of course, there are difficulties, but there is even greater hope.

As a traverser, Ikaruga certainly understood that if White Rock City continued to swell like this, it would face a huge challenge.

But the Indians here don't have this awareness. They think that—

Big, that's good!

More is better!

Big and so much, even better!

So, after the turtledove said this, the giant hard and the peso took the lead, and the room resounded with enthusiastic applause.

"The ironworks have succeeded in smelting the first furnace of steel, ending the history of our Indians having no industry!"

"I made a bet with Little Crow to let him come over in two months to test the gun, and now it seems that it won't take that long at all!"

"We will not only build guns, but also cannons in the future! Build your own trains, build your own railways! You even have to build your own warship! ”

"The white people say that we Indians are primitive people, barbarians!"

"We're just going to fight and tell them they will, and so will we! What they can't do, we're going to do! What they can do, we have to do better! ”

"I think it's completely promising!"

A small steel mill pinned almost all of the hopes on the turtledove.

Now, this sustenance is being transmitted to all the Indians of the Great Plains through the black smoke that rises day and night from the chimneys.

Even the Sioux people, who were buried in the mountains looking for gold, would always look at the black smoke in amazement when they straightened up when they were tired.

An inexplicable thing is spreading in everyone's hearts. If the previous attraction of White Rock City was only the black flag on the top of Blake Mountain, then now, the huge chimney, the endless stream of wooden boats on the Yellowstone River, and the trumpets under White Rock City day and night...... It's all something that attracts them.

In this small conference room, more than a dozen people involuntarily clenched their fists.

The scalp hated to hammer his chest to pieces.

"I've heard people say, 'Oh, we're going to build a city like this here, are white people allowed to do it?' Will they come and fight us? ”

There is some truth to this suspicion. Since 300 years ago, what the white people have done is to make us suspicious of each other, to break up the big tribes into small tribes, and to let the small tribes attack each other, so that we can fall apart and destroy our unity! That's what they've always done, it's not new! ”

"But, now that we've seen through his tricks, what are we afraid of?"

"If he doesn't let us unite, we just want to unite! If he doesn't let us develop, we want to develop! ”

"If he dares to hit us, we will dare to beat them! Recently, on the Great Plains, there have been many battles against white oppression and enslavement in various places, which doesn't show that as long as we dare to resist and fight, there is nothing to be afraid of white people! ”

"If he wants to fight, let's fight with him!"

"Fremont can play as long as he wants! Fight until we are completely victorious! ”
