In this way, William used various reasons and arguments to convince all his subordinates. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info they unanimously expressed their willingness to obey William's orders, in order to be able to obtain a new army, in order to obtain millions of laborers, a new follower of the Lord of Light, a new point of economic growth, and in order to eliminate their bad neighbors. They decided to unite and civilize these indigenous peoples.

So, things took a turn and went back to the original question, which is "what should be done". Yes, since everyone is willing to listen to William's orders to help the natives, then the next question should be asked what should be done.

"First of all, of course, is to engage with indigenous people. "After all, we're willing to help, and we're going to make those people willing to accept it, so we can do it, right?" So, send out an invitation, and tell the chiefs that I'm waiting for them in Charleston, right in South Carolina." The emissaries can send some gifts to the chiefs. ”

"Do you mean gunpowder, or muskets?" asked the civilian in charge of the matter.

"Yes, but it's not just those things. William said, "I wish I could give them something else—liquor, and warm clothing—not raw cloth, but the clothes we are currently wearing...... Well, it's not just warm clothes, send them a whole set of clothes. From panties to coats. Give it all to them. And socks, but also leather boots and leather shoes. ”

"Well, you may not know it, my Highness, Indians generally don't wear boots. The representative of the civilian staff said.

"And do you wear it?" asked William.

"Of course I wear it. He replied.

"So that's the problem, we're going to convert the natives into civilized people. Naturally, we have to change the natives, from those who don't wear boots, to those who wear boots. That should be clear, right?"

"Yes, I see, Your Highness. Hearing William say this, although the other party was still a little skeptical, in the end he didn't ask anything else, but obeyed the order.

"Good, that's it. William nodded, then looked back at the pastor, "Father, I hope you can mobilize enough clergy. If I am to negotiate with the chiefs, then I will need to send at least one clergy to every tribe. ”

"It's a tough job, and I have to say, you've got a problem for me. Hearing William say this, the chief priest was a little embarrassed: "The chaplains of the army will naturally follow your orders. However, if too many chaplains are deployed, there will be a shortage of medical personnel and psychological counselors in the military. It will affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

At the same time, the local priests hated the natives because they did not believe in the Lord of Light. ”

"That's your question, Father. William said: "The number of chaplains in the army can be transferred so that the combat effectiveness of the army will not be affected too much." Or how do you convince the local pastors to serve us and follow my commands. It's all your problem. ”

"I see, Your Highness. The priest smiled wryly and nodded. But he didn't protest to William, or complain or anything. He knew that this would not work, but would make William look down on him.

In fact, in Hereford's Praetorian Guard, as well as in the White Legion, William demanded that the chaplains be on active duty. And the highest duty of a soldier is obedience.

"And then there's you, my friends. William looked at the people from the Hereford General Company, "I hope you will also send enough men to go to those tribes." I hope you guys can set up some stores there. ”

"Set up a shop...... Truth be told, it's a good deal, boss. "The vast majority of indigenous tribes are poor, they have nothing to exchange for our goods," the company representative said. ”

"It's simple. William said, "First, mercenaries." I will pay them a salary, and then they will mail the paycheck to their families. Second, it's work. I hope you can hire some Indians and let them work for the company. ”

"Fight, boss?"

"It's production work. ”

"It's difficult, they're all illiterate, they don't know anything. The company representative said with a wry smile.

"Then teach them. William said, "Start from the beginning and teach them little by little." ”

"So what exactly am I going to do for them?" the company representative then asked.

"What do the locals do?" William asked rhetorically.

So, this time, the representative of the locals answered: "We farm, and the farmers are the most." Then we had garment makers, shoemakers, tinkerers, blacksmiths and potters, watchmakers, men who made muskets, horses and, above all, sheep and, of course, cattle. ”

"Some of these can be farmed, sheep, and horses. William said, "The craftsmen are a little difficult for them for a while, so let them do agricultural activities for the time being—I remember I told you about the concept of agricultural workers, and we can train a large number of Indian agricultural workers." ”

"Perhaps...... I don't really know...... But are we going to teach them our farming techniques? I mean, our 'latest' farming techniques. "The company's representatives deliberately pressed on the word 'latest'.

"Of course. William nodded and said without hesitation: "We are promoting new farming techniques in the Russian Kingdom, and we are also promoting them in the Neo-Gothic regions of the New World. So why don't we promote it to the Indians? We want to treat everyone equally. Yes, the same is the most important thing. Since we want to accommodate them, we must no longer treat them as outsiders. “

"But boss, what about confidentiality?" the company representative continued.

"How many secrets can you get from the Indians. William asked.

The representative of the "......" company was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what William meant.

"Well, how many secrets can our enemies get from the Indians. ”

"I see what you mean, boss. The company representative nodded:

"Well, the Indians are very good at keeping secrets—or rather, there are no civilized people other than us who want to communicate with the Indians much. And the Indians themselves ...... If they really agree with us. They are not big mouths like the dwarves, they will show off their good things and spread them everywhere. ”

"That's it. William nodded, "What else is the problem?" William then asked.

"The problem is that the company doesn't have enough people, and if we talk about teaching people to farm, it depends on our civil servants. ”

"What do you say? William looked at the representatives of the civilian officials.

"We can only do our best, my Highness. The expressions of the civilian officials were also painful: "We don't have enough manpower. In fact, managing the existing colonies, as well as the Goths, was painful enough. ”

"One representative for every tribe. William finally made a decision for him: "Don't worry, new people will be transferred here from the kingdom itself soon, and the difficulties are only temporary." ”

"I see. The civilian officials quickly understood what William meant—yes, soon someone would be coming here from the country. They will either become subordinates or colleagues of those present. Or...... Boss. If the people present are not obedient, or cannot complete the task assigned by William well.

"Finally, you, my future generals. William looked at the officers and said.

"Shall we send a representative from each tribe as well, my Highness?" the officers looked nervous.

"No, you don't. William's words relieved the officers. But soon, it soon became clear to them that they were not without tasks. Can be relaxed.

"But get ready for a new one. Your boot camp is about to welcome six thousand, to ten thousand Indian recruits. I want you to train them to be real soldiers. ”

"No one has ever tried to train the Indians into real soldiers, my Highness. The officers couldn't help but complain like this.

"But that also means that no one has ever failed, doesn't it?" William said with a smile, "Or do you think you are incapable of disciplining and training the unruly natives?"

"Of course not, my majesty. But if we really train them to the standards of regular soldiers, what if we provoke resistance?"

"Will they complain that we bullied them?" asked William.

"In a sense, training recruits is like bullying people. The officer said: "There is no such thing as a recruit who has not been beaten." ”

"Then let them be beaten with the Goth recruits!" said William, "Mix the native soldiers with the Goth recruits." And then treat them equally. Then they have no reason to complain to us. ”

That's it, William arranged the work for all his subordinates. In this way, the grass platform team of the entire neo-Gothic colonial government was running at the fastest speed. Everyone started busy, distributing supplies, preparing gifts, selecting people, mobilizing people. Get ready for the Cherokee chiefs to come. and the large number of Cherokee recruits promised by William, as well as the civilized natives who had converted to the Lord of Light.

People work hard, people work hard to prepare, people work hard to think, people try to imagine. But there's another important issue here, and that's that people haven't asked the Cherokees if they want to be treated that way.
