Yes, what Elise said represented the attitude of many people here. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info That is: yes, I understand the truth, but so what.

This made William indignant and a little helpless at the same time. He knew that even if he said so much, many people here still didn't think so.

Therefore, the concept and worldview passed down from generation to generation are not so simple and easy to reverse. The people of the Old World, the natives of the New World, have been contemptuous for centuries. And there are many benefits from it.

Because they are barbaric and backward, they can be bullied as a matter of course.

Because they are barbaric and backward, they can take advantage of them as a matter of course.

Because they are barbaric and backward, we can develop a sense of pride, superiority, schadenfreude, and other pleasant feelings, but not very good, when compared to civilizations with all kinds of knowledge, industry, and abilities.

Yes, William always felt that happiness was actually comparative. And look at these Indians who use stone weapons, live in cramped and cramped conical animal skin tents, and wear animal skins. William felt that the vast majority of people in the old world would have a sense of happiness.

By analogy, William even felt that in his previous life, the reason why the Americans did not drive out the Indians, but kept them in their own land. It's to give people in Greater America a sample to refer to.

Look at what these Indians have become, and look at yourself. Although you can't afford to buy a car, you can't afford a house, you can't afford to marry a wife, you can't afford to cure your illness. But you're happier than they are, aren't you?

So, William felt that if he wanted to make a game with a simulation mechanic that could set up an Indian reservation, he would definitely add the option of "making the local residents feel superior and happy" to the effect of the reservation.

That's it.

In addition, some soldiers who were not very sensitive to this were also unimpressed by William's actions. Their reasoning was more straightforward and straightforward, that is, they were still at war, and they still had to fight against the expeditionary force that the Visigoths would send at any time, as well as the rebels of the Continental Army.

In this case, they felt that the White Legion of the Hereford family did not have the American time to help the Indians become civilized or something.

Of course, this is not to say that they are opposed to communicating with the Cherokees, nor are they opposed to William hiring a Cherokee army.

Yes, there was not enough cavalry in the White Regiment. It would be very helpful for this war if it could be supported by two or three regiments of Cherokee cavalry.

Only, they weren't sure if it would be necessary to arm a real, professional Cherokee army. If they could, they would prefer to arm more local Gothic descendants. They preferred to gather their muskets, hand them over to the Goths, and form one or two of the more cowardly, but more obedient, guaranteed Gothic militias, rather than make the local natives stronger at the cost of hiring the Iroquois.

That's it. William's proposal ended there, met with almost all the opposition. Although people did not dare to really speak against William's. But their silence is already an expression.

"It's terrible. William thought to himself, "Perhaps, before I can change the Indians, I need to change the heads of these stubborn Goths." He thought to himself, and then looked at the person who was most likely to support him.

"Father, what do you think is your opinion?" he asked the chief priest who accompanied the army, "Isn't your mission to teach more people to believe in the Lord of Light?"

"Indeed, my Highness. The chief priest nodded:

"If you can, it is a glorious and holy cause to convert these natives to the bosom of our Lord. ”

After a moment's thought, he nodded, and then said:

"I agree with you, let them become civilized, let them convert to the Lord of Radiance...... However, my Highness, though as a member of the clergy, I agree with this. But as a member of the Russian kingdom, and as part of the expeditionary force. I would rather see the Neo-Gothic add millions of followers than the creation of a new nation in the New World, with the Lord of Light as its faith. ”

"That's where we're going to work on that. William said, "I didn't add a competitor to myself, such a hobby. After he finished speaking, he looked at the representatives of the civil officials, the mayors, the mayors, and the senior civil servants he had appointed: "Everyone, you will also want to increase the population in your respective jurisdictions, right?" An increase in population means an increase in taxes, an increase in the labor force and an increase in the number of people who serve in the military. At the same time, it also means that there will be an achievement on your resume that no one can erase. ”

"You are right, my Highness. The governor of South Carolina nodded, in line with William's words: "But at the same time, excessive population expansion will also bring all kinds of corresponding problems. This is a very serious test for us. ”

"Opportunities and challenges always coexist, my friend. William smiled and said to him, "I'm waiting for your answer." ”

"......" Several civil officials thought for a moment, and finally all nodded in agreement. Yes, opportunities and challenges. These civilian staff, who have just graduated from university or have been deployed from other positions, are usually young. Being young means being willing to work hard, being energetic, and wanting more. In this case, they would rightfully agree with William's words.

"Gentlemen. William looked at the local representative for a third time: "You are a native of the New World of Gothic descent, what is your attitude towards your neighbors?"

"Tell the truth, my Highness. "It seems obvious that William was a benevolent, well-spoken ruler. So the representative of the Gothic descendants did not come up and agree with William's statement against his will:

"I really don't want to be neighbors with them if I could. It's so inconvenient...... Although as a merchant, I made my fortune by trading with these people. But I'm still going to say this, I'd rather not have these guys in the New World. ”

"So, now is an opportunity before you. William smiled and said, "Let them be civilized, let them be inhabitants of the states of the colony, and not members of the tribes." In this way, you will not have such so-called 'neighbors.' ”

"If it does, I think the inhabitants of Neo-Goths will accept this outcome, my Highness. After this, the representatives of the Gothic descendants looked at each other for a moment, as if to exchange their views. Eventually, they agreed with William.

"So, our Hermes, the New World needs new commodities, new markets, you have said that to me, is that true?" asked William. This time, his interlocutors were replaced by representatives of Hereford Integrated.

"Yes, Your Highness. But we don't think that the indigenous people are qualified commodities. One of the company's executives put it this way: "They don't like the orcs who can be domesticated easily. ”

"No, no, no. That's not what I meant. William shook his fingers: "I mean, some 'little secrets' or some 'little things'" he said:

"In fact, we all know that, as the natives of this land, the Indians have something that we don't know, or intelligence. What kind of specialties are available in some places. What is worth in a place. Even, there are all kinds of 'beautiful stones' somewhere.

We need their help, and we hope they don't give us trouble. In this case, our best tactic is to cooperate with them. ”

"This ...... This is indeed the case. But we don't think the old way won't work. The business representative said:

"I don't mean to oppose you, Your Majesty. I'm talking about cost. Originally, all we needed was a few glass beads, or something, to get a lot of wealth out of the hands of the natives. Or, with our mighty armies and brave warriors, we can get those things at no cost. But now...... This is not logical. You're going to make our company pay for the additional, originally, costs that we wouldn't have to bear.

As a responsible employee, I have to remind you of this, my boss. ”

"But at the same time, we can get those profits and benefits more easily, more consistently, and in the long run. Don't worry about the safety of our prospecting team, the expedition, and not about our caravan being attacked by the natives. Don't worry about them attacking our trading post, or some other important location. ”

"That's right...... But...... Well, I guess you convinced me. "Although in the end it was not fully agreed. But in the end, the representatives of Hereford General agreed with William's proposal.

That's it, one by one, William used a variety of different reasons to win over the vast majority of people present. Or, at least on the surface, they were all convinced by William.

"I can assure you that such actions will not interfere with our military conduct. William concluded by assuring his officers: "The civilized project will not hinder war, but on the contrary, he will be a driving force, I want you to assure, my friends." ”

"All the officers and men of the White Army are your strongest support. We support you, Great Your Majesty. So, the officers said without hesitation.
