Chapter 157: The Future of the Indians
No matter how resolute the Indians' will to fight may be, they are still as small as ants in the face of the true power of nature.
The storm has been going on for almost a week, houses have been destroyed, trees have been uprooted, and the dug up Texas has become a swamp, and alligators can sometimes be seen rushing down from the upper reaches of the trenches!
Turtledoves live in deep pits and can't go anywhere.
In such weather, let alone fighting, you can't even walk on the ground, you will be blown directly into the sky.
……
The headquarters of the Indians was located under a small earthen bag, which was originally a bunker built by the Spaniards, but as the Spaniards withdrew, it was abandoned and gradually buried in the earth. If it weren't for the trenches dug here and there by the Indians, the bunker would have been buried forever.
Holding a wooden bucket in his hand, he stood in the doorway and desperately scooped water out of the door.
"Peso, come and help me!"
"Wait a minute!" Peso stood on a bench with a hammer and a plank in his hand and pounded it on top of his head, and the rain seeped down from it, and he was as wet as if he were standing in the rain.
There were also a few guards shuttling back and forth in the bunker, clutching papers tightly in their hands, their trouser legs almost reaching the base of their thighs, and kicking and making a splash as they walked.
One of the guards accidentally slipped under his feet, and the documents in his arms fell into the water at once, and the other guards were busy salvaging the documents.
In the depths of the bunker, there is a slightly higher terrain, which is slightly cleaner.
The turtledove sat on a rock, with a small notebook on his lap, hunched over his waist, and a pen in his hand to write and draw on it.
On the wall hangs an oil lamp, which glows orange and reflects the sparkling water beneath your feet, and the reflection of the water surface trims the turquoise moss on the wall.
The turtledove's pen stops writing on the paper, and sometimes it scribbles in large sections, making it look like it is scribbling haphazardly.
However, in the six years since he came to this world, his mind has never been clearer than it is now.
The future of the Indians is something that not only him, but every Indian in White Rock City is thinking about.
To this end, White Rock City University has set up a strategic research institute, and the main research direction is the future of the Indians - not a question of the next 3 or 5 years, not even 30 or 50 years, but a question of extending to 300 or 500 years, or even longer!
The Indians have a long history, and although this history has been interrupted, and it is difficult to trace it until now, there is no doubt that such a race that has lasted for thousands of years should not only think about the future of 3 or 5 years!
The Indians are not the Union, and the turtledoves are not presidents.
Confederations can be dispersed, each pursuing a self-righteous future; The president only has a four-year term, and he doesn't have to worry about the flood after the fifth year.
But the Indians had to think long-term.
Indians are a race, not a group of people who are entangled together for some kind of benefit, as in the United States.
The United States is a conglomerate disguised as a state, and the Indians are not. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future.
Indians are a race!
Ever since the Turtledove had an uprising in the Madre Mountains, it has been instilled in everyone that no matter what tribe or language you have, you are an Indian if you live in this land since ancient times—although the name 'Indian' itself was given the wrong name by Columbus because he mistakenly thought he had discovered India, but it is the only way to do it now!
In the place where the turtledoves came from, they were also called 'Khitans' or 'two-legged sheep', but later, as the country grew stronger, those people still changed their names, and even this humiliating history is rarely remembered anymore!
In the same way, it may not be long before the Indians feel humiliated by the term 'Indian' and ask for a new name, but by then, the Indians should have already solved the question of the 'legitimacy of existence'.
Yes, the most important question now before the Indians is the question of the legitimacy of existence.
As a race that has lived on this land for thousands of years, there is no way to legally exist?
That's the ridiculous reality!
This 'legitimacy' is questioned not only within the legal framework of the American Federation, but even within the framework of human morality as a whole – at first they kidnapped North America, then they kidnapped South America and Europe, and then they kidnapped the whole world!
Who cares about a small race with a population of less than 200,000?
They can only say anything.
"Your freedom can only be given by me, and my private property is sacrosanct" - these are the values of the Federal Corporation of America!
……
The turtledove's handwriting on the paper was sloppy, but in his mind, the blueprint was becoming clearer and clearer.
Resolving the question of the legitimacy of the Indians cannot be achieved by means of accusations and justifications. The fundamental problem is that the Indians are not strong enough!
The population is not large enough, the science and technology are not developed enough, the army is not strong enough, and the materials are not sufficient......
To break through such a predicament, the Indians needed a time to recuperate.
The wounds suffered in the past three hundred years will not be recovered in just a few years, and it will even take a long, long time for the Indians to become a normal race.
Reproduction, absorption, naturalization...... It's all a way, but no way can do without time!
On the map of North America in the future, there should be at least four countries, one is the United States, one is Canada, one is Indian, and one is Mexico......
Mexico looks hopeless right now, but it doesn't make him really dead!
Mexico cannot pose a threat to either side, but it is a major strategic buffer zone and weight, and its tilt towards either side could create a strategic imbalance.
Moreover, the Central American Federation is ambitiously accelerating integration, with Mexico in the middle of the big so that the future Union of Indians will not have another potential enemy.
The French wanted to create a Louisiana Governorate along the Mississippi River, and that's good, and the Indians should support it......
Since the British lost Griffin Fortress, she has lost her last stronghold in North America, and she is basically silent about American affairs, and she has to find a way to give her a little courage......
Canada is gradually having a tendency to lie flat, and it will definitely not work like this......
……
As for going to the Habsburgs, talking and laughing with Victoria, being a godfather in New York, and doing things in the gold fields on the other side of the Pacific...... From chief to ball captain, Turtledove admits that he is inadequate.
He can't even settle in North America!
And it is estimated that for a long time in the future, he will still have to carefully bow his head and behave.
