Super Chief

Chapter 379: Future Norfolk Naval Base

For Colonel James Jones, what Shixiong said just now is undoubtedly a super big pie that fell from the sky, and it is also his sister's pure gold pie!

Although the Powatans have declined, the Powatans, with a population of more than 20,000, still occupy most of the land in Virginia.

Yes, although Virginia is the first colony of the British Empire in the New World in North America, it is also a colony directly under the British King, but most of the ownership of this large piece of land does not belong to the United Kingdom. In other words, its true ownership does not belong to the King of England.

Although the current British national strength is thriving and even defeated the powerful France not long ago, in the New World, in Virginia, the local Poitans are the real masters here.

Even in this century and a half, the British controlled a lot of land in Virginia, either by hitting or buying, but Colonel Jones knew very well that it was because the Poitans were now declining, and the Poitans were unwilling to resist. Up.

But once the Poitans really want to resist, then the entire Virginia will become very dangerous. After all, although it is not difficult for the British to beat the Poitans, there are powerful Cherokees in the east, and Crees who have been eyeing the Spaniards in the south.

The ghost knew that if the Powatan were beaten, would it attract these two powerful native tribes?

Colonel Jones has a deep understanding of this. Therefore, during his years in charge of Jamestown, he has been working hard to avoid disputes with the local aboriginals.

For Colonel Jones, the Poitan of Virginia is a thorn in his heart.

In fact, not only Virginia, but in the other twelve colonies, this situation abounds. The sites that the British can now control are mostly near some cities. Far from the city, the British control is still very weak.

Colonel Jones certainly wanted to remove the thorn of the Poitan, but with the strength of his men, it was almost impossible to accomplish this.

But now suddenly there is a more powerful Indian tribe who wants to pull out the power of the Poitans in Virginia. Isn't this a pie in the sky and what is it?

"Master Guardian..." Colonel Jones only felt that his voice became extremely thirsty in an instant, and he could only swallow several saliva to relieve this thirst. "You mean that if I hand over Aruyet, you will give me half of the territory of the Poitan?"

"What? Isn't this condition enough to impress you?" Shi Xiong had a calm smile on his face, but his tone became a little cold.

For the Cherokee, the Poitan territory is a chicken rib. After all, it is too entangled with the British. If the Cherokee rashly put their hands into this land, it will inevitably cause the British. People's rebound.

Now is not the time to turn faces with the British, so there is no need to rip apart with the British for a land that is less than 10,000 square kilometers.

It is for this reason that Shi Xiong very decisively promised Colonel Jones such a huge pie.

"No! My dear Great Bear, the conditions you gave are already very good." Colonel Jones said with a smile on his face, "It's just that Aruyet brought the people from the royal court to Jamestown for asylum, and I also promised to give them asylum. This matter has spread among the Poitans. If I hand them over like this, they will be suppressed by our two armies, and they will not be able to resist. But once you After leaving, it is estimated that the Poitans will definitely resist. Jamestown has stationed such a small army, I am worried..."

"What? Mr. Colonel, do you still want to fight with my troops for that Aluyet?" Shixiong asked playfully.

"How is this possible? My dear Great Bear, I mean we should find a better way to solve this. Well, at least we can't let the Poitans blame everything on us. You say yes Isn't it?"

Shi Xiong thought for a while and he refused directly: "Mr. Colonel, I think there should be no way to solve the matter you said. Aruyet is now under your protection, even if we enter Jamestown and get Aruyet Take it away. Afterwards, those Poitans will blame all the responsibilities on you. So, as your friend, I don’t think this can be done. What you should consider is how to deal with those resistance The Poitans."

After a pause, Shi Xiong directly gave his conditions. "Mr. Colonel, tell you the truth. The main purpose of my coming here is to take Aruyet away. As for the land of the Poitan, I won't take it to heart. So, east of the Blue Ridge. I don’t need any of the land. We can use the Blue Ridge as the boundary. The Cherokee to the west belong to yours, and yours to the east. However, my tribe needs an exit to the sea. Come here. This is my final condition."

The words of Stone Bear plunged Colonel Jones into contemplation.

The western border of Virginia itself is to reach the Blue Ridge. Now this big man says that almost means giving up the entire Virginia to Jamestown. And now that the Cherokee have defeated the Cree, and now they have made such a promise, it means that even if they attack the Poitans, at least the Cherokee and Cree that they have been worried about Won't make a move.

In all fairness, this condition is good enough. As for the Cherokee people wanting an outlet to the sea, and it is still the territory of the Pamunki people, this is nothing to Colonel Jones at all.

The Pamankis are just a small tribe in the Powatan Alliance, with a population of less than 3,000. If it weren’t for this group of indigenous people living on the seashore who would make sea salt, they are very closely connected with the surrounding tribes~lightnovelpub.net ~ Colonel Jones has taken this little tribe down long ago.

As for the southern area of ​​the Chesapeake Bay where the Pamankis live, there is now only a small colony, so what about the Cherokees?

As long as the Cherokee's promise of not making a move can be exchanged, a small colony is nothing at all.

What Colonel Jones didn't know was that the area where the Pamanki people now live will develop into the second largest city in Virginia in later generations. And in the area surrounded by the bay, there is also an extremely good seaport area, and in the future it will become one of the most famous deep-water ports in the world, and it will also become the largest naval base in North America, and it will also be the United States. The headquarters of the Atlantic Fleet Headquarters and the headquarters of the NATO Atlantic Theater.

There will be a resounding name—Norfolk Naval Base!
