Now that William has said this, the chiefs are not ignorant of what to do. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info except to admit, laugh, and even praise William's righteousness, they have no other options to choose.

However, this still can't erase the shadow in their hearts. Still not reassuring them - the same as the White Army. It's just a little bit worse than the opponent fighting. They really don't know the bottom in their hearts.

Moreover, not all the chiefs listened to what William said. There are a lot of people who think William deceived them in some parts.

That is, the enemy is likely to be evenly matched with the White Legion. Even stronger than the White Legion—such a reason was more acceptable to the chiefs than William had said.

And so, in the rest of the day, the chiefs were still untainted and distraught. William saw it all in his eyes. So, William then smiled and said, "Guys, do you have any concerns? Do you think that the Cherokees are weak? It's not as strong as the army from the Old World, so you're afraid of going to war?"

And rightfully so. Originally, the chieftains of Cherokee did not dare to say it, but now, since it was William himself who provoked the topic, then they had nothing to worry about.

The chiefs nodded their heads and spoke to William about their weakness - these Cherokees had the idea, and it would be great if they could rely on such shamelessness to make William discourage his attempts at his tribe. Even if it doesn't work. It is also possible to send troops a little less.

It's one thing to make money to subsidize the family. Send people to battle. It's another thing to let the warriors of the tribe be bombarded with artillery and rotten flesh or something.

"Everyone, don't worry. I have a way to make up for this. William said with a smile.

Hearing William say this, the chiefs of the various tribes were a little curious, and at the same time a little excited. They all craned their necks, waiting to hear what William had to say.

"Guys, what do you think of my army?" asked William.

After this, the chiefs of the various tribes naturally had no mouth to praise William's troops for being strong, and William's troops were very good. So William continued: "What if I came to your aid and trained a force like this?"

After hearing William's words, the chiefs of these tribes felt incredulous for the first time. After William nodded and said, "It's true," their eyes lit up - it's a good thing, a great thing. If you can really get a powerful army like the White Legion, then the strength of the tribe will be greatly improved!

"But...... How the hell are you going to train our troops for us?" asked the chief, followed by the question.

"Train like our own soldiers, of course. William said as a matter of course: "It's like training our army, equipping him with the same weapons and wearing the same clothes." What's wrong? Is that hard to understand?"

"This ...... This seems to be a bit ......" Hearing William say this, the chief didn't know how to refute, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

And after the initial excitement had passed, the chiefs began to hesitate. Yes, William said it very well. Such a powerful army, such a powerful weapon, such a powerful force. They naturally want to.

But why did William give them those things? A tribe's warriors, tribes' horses and muskets, are the tribe's most precious possessions. Even the Indians knew this. They will defend these weapons and equipment of theirs. These things will never be given to others for nothing.

"So, does His Royal Highness really want to teach us these things?" the chiefs couldn't help but think, "though he seems to be really kind. It doesn't seem to be quite the same as the average white person. But who knows if it's his disguise, what if he's trying to deceive us and make a big conspiracy?"

"I have absolutely no ill will towards you. "I still saw through the inner workings of the chiefs at once. William continued to smile and said to them, "Say something unpleasant. If I really have ill will towards you, why should I come to you to discuss things? I have such a strong army, and you have seen it. The power I have in my hands. If I send troops to attack you, won't I be able to defeat you easily?"

Hearing William say this, the chiefs looked at each other and felt as if this was the truth.

"I did this because I really wanted to improve the fighting power of the Cherokees. William said, "Because then I will hire them to fight for me." So I want them to be as strong as they can be. Even if it can't reach the level of my army. But at least half of it. Can you accept that?"

"This ...... Seem...... Truly. Hearing William say this, the other chiefs nodded their heads again. I think what William said does make sense.

"Finally, there's another reason. William said, "That's what I said before - we need to get to know each other! You send your warriors and train us, and I want to teach them more about us." Let's get acquainted with each other better. Only in this way can we bridge the gap between us, and only in this way can we avoid the outbreak of war as much as possible! Can you understand what I mean?"

Of course, the chiefs did not understand what William meant. And the chiefs, who also took it for granted, did not understand what William meant, and they all nodded very seriously, pretending to understand what William meant.

In this way, the initial cooperation was successfully reached. Then there is the specific negotiation. Discuss how many people each tribe will produce. And each warrior has to spend a lot of materials on William's hiring. How much does a warrior on horseback cost, and how much does a warrior with a musket cost. And the tribes, they all want something.

It's warm clothing, it's food, it's iron, it's something.

These things have to be well negotiated with them. At the same time, it is also necessary to let these tribes know some of the bottom lines - such as artillery - yes, at the moment William does not mean to teach them artillery technology as well. And the chiefs are also very well-behaved. Only a few daring chiefs, after a little temptation, were stopped by William when they stopped asking the question.

That's it, and the negotiations went smoothly. William's greatest concern was that the leadership of the Cherokee warriors was finally negotiated with the chiefs.

If you train, you train exactly the Gothic way. Whether it was musketeers, infantry or cavalry, they were trained. In wartime, these soldiers will be handed over to the Cherokee commander. At the same time, however, William would also send advisers to these commanders to "assist" them in commanding.

William explained this to the chiefs: "It is one thing to train a qualified soldier, and quite another to train a qualified officer. It's like not all Cherokees have the ability and wisdom to hold the position of war chieftain or grand chieftain, don't you think?"

Under William's persuasion, the chiefs reluctantly accepted the claim. After that, he reluctantly accepted the matter of mixing the Cherokee Warriors with the Gothic recruits.

"Though the chiefs must be well aware of the need for cooperation and can trust me...... It's something I can trust. But I don't think all Cherokees trust me as much as you do. ”

William put it this way:

"They're bound to have someone who suspects us of hiding secrets, of not teaching them well, or of teaching them something different than we teach the Goths. ”

Hearing William say this, the chiefs also agreed with William's statement. Constant nodding in agreement - in fact, not just "some Cherokees". After a few days of William's hospitality, and the chiefs who have been in contact with William for so long, there are still many people who think so in their hearts. William knew that too. It's just that neither they nor William said it.

"So, mix them up. Then they will naturally be able to receive the same training. William said:

"Even if there are instructors hiding secrets, the Cherokees are not blind and stupid. Naturally, they can see it. This way, they can report it to others. After that, others will investigate. Then the matter will be resolved. Wouldn't that be nice?"

When William said this, the chiefs still felt that William had a point—in fact, almost everything William had said, and they now felt it made sense.

As a result, the problem of training and marshalling was solved. The chiefs were satisfied with this. William was more satisfied...... He tightened his net step by step, and achieved his wish step by step. Roundabout, gently, little by little, let these Cherokees fall into their own trap......

That's it, the contract is finally reached. The chieftain and his retinue, and the warriors all went home. Each and every one of them was very well received here. exaggerated a little, and even gained several pounds in one go.

They returned to their tribe with William's gifts, with news of the "new white tribe," with an extreme fear of neo-Gothic force, and with a bloody alliance with William, with joy, joy, fear, solemnity, and many other inexplicable things.

If nothing else, the first batch of 2,000 Cherokee fighters will soon be on their way to Charleston for training at the end of January. In this way, more Cherokees will come into contact with the Goths, with the civilization of the Old World. William's influence on the Cherokees will continue to grow in a geometric way, rapidly and irreversibly.
