Super Chief

Chapter 505: Naming of future helicopters

   The new chief of the Comanche tribe, that is, the Dirkia who fled in a hurry, turned his back on his tribe, and naturally his chief was not recognized by the tribe.

   De Keia ran away with the empty title of a Comanche chief, and the remaining Comanche naturally quit.

The Comanche is a large tribe with a population of about seven to eighty thousand. Their population may not be as large as the Cree and Osages, but their sturdy character and strong physique make them the southwestern part of the North American continent. Of a powerful tribe.

When De Keia formed the Tri-Clan Alliance Army, it did not gather all the fighters of the tribe. Now the entire Comanche tribe still has more than 10,000 qualified fighters distributed among the tribes. They didn’t know De Keia. Abandon the things of the tribe.

Therefore, under the appointment of the Comanche High Priest, a priest who will become the tribal high priest in the future led the soldiers of the Third Division to stay and cooperate with Chora Krulu who came from Shangjing to accept the rest of the Comanche tribe. Tribe.

  There are soldiers from the Third Division, enough to deal with the remaining soldiers of the Comanche. After all, those warriors were not gathered together. They were scattered among dozens of tribes, and one tribe could have one or two hundred warriors, even if it was too many.

   Coupled with the cooperation of those Comanche sacrifices, Shixiong knew that the Comanche tribe had completely fallen.

   and Shixiong led the first and second divisions and the Guards to continue westward.

   De Keia fled westward, if not unexpected, they must have fled to the Apache territory.

   The Apache turf and the Comanche turf are closely connected. Although there are some minor frictions between the two races, the relationship is generally good. Not surprisingly, De Keia fled westward.

   Shixiong doesn't want to leave any more time for the Apache to prepare.

   But compared to the Comanche, Stone Bear still admires the Apache.

   Like the Comanche, the Apaches are not natives of southwestern North America. They all migrated from the north.

   But because the Apache live in an area closer to the west, they have been in contact with the Spanish colonists a long time ago.

   After the Spanish colonists killed the Indians in Central America, they followed Mexico all the way north into North America, and continued north along the west coast until they reached the future Canadian territory.

   So don’t think that the Spaniards can't touch the central and eastern parts of North America, but they are still very powerful west of the Rocky Mountains.

   However, the sturdy Apaches are not very interested in the Spanish, especially after the Spanish destroyed the Aztec civilization, the Apaches are even less interested in the Spanish.

   In fact, not only the Spaniards, but the entire European colonists are not good people in the eyes of the Apaches.

   So, starting from the Spanish, to French colonists, British colonists and even later Mexicans, the Apaches are also fighting.

   Apache is a general term for the Indian tribes living in the southwestern United States. The entire Apache tribe is divided into seven major tribes, which are closely related to the Navajo.

  Traditionally, Apaches were distributed in later generations of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and northern Mexico. The brave Apaches not only fought against the Spaniards for hundreds of years, but also resolutely stood on the side of the Americans during the Mexican-American War.

   It's just that they didn't see the ugly face of the Americans clearly. When the Americans defeated the Mexicans with the help of the Apaches, the Americans began to think badly again. They found all kinds of reasons to find the Apaches' fault. Eventually, the Apaches and the Americans were torn apart due to territorial disputes and started a war.

   However, the Apaches, who were overspread during the Mexican-American War, did not have powerful weapons that could resist the Americans. In the late nineteenth century, the Apaches were defeated and then forced to move into different reservations.

   It can be said that among the entire North American Indians, the Apaches are definitely a strange flower. Like the Sioux in the north, they are vanguards against the whites.

  On this basis, the Apaches are worthy of the respect of Shixiong.

   But respect belongs to respect, and you still have to fight, but how you should fight depends on the specific situation.

   Stone Bear has never denied the sturdyness of the Apaches. This is recognized even by later Americans, and it can be seen in the naming of various helicopters equipped by the US military in later generations.

  The American Army Aviation Corps was established in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, right in the center of many Indian reservations. Therefore, some people believe that in order to reflect the traditional honor of the local tribe, the American Army Air Force should use the name of the Indian tribe to name the helicopter.

  Although the American Army and the Indian tribes were enemies in the Indian War, which lasted 148 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, many Indians entered the American army and served in the American army since World War II, and made many contributions to the United States. So this proposal has also been recognized by many Americans.

After World War II and before the 1960s, most of the helicopters developed by the Americans were named after Indian tribes or historical celebrities among the Indian tribes. However, in 1960, the AH-1 gunship developed by Bell Company did not use this tradition, but instead used " This helicopter is named after the "Cobra". But this practice of American Army Aviation immediately triggered protests from the Indians, and American Army Aviation soon resumed this tradition.

Later, the various helicopters studied by the Americans revived the custom of naming Indian tribes or celebrities of Indian tribes~lightnovelpub.net~like the UH-1 developed by Bell, which served in the 1950s and 1960s." The "Iroquois" helicopter and the OH-58 "Kiowa" helicopter are named after the Iroquois tribe and the Kiowa tribe respectively. The former once drove the Cherokee out of the Great Lakes area, while the latter has been conquered by stone bears in this historical time and space.

Also, the UH-72 "Lakota" helicopter is named after the Lakota tribe in the Sioux League; Sikorsky’s AH-56 "Cheyenne" is named after the Cheyenne; H -34 "Choctaw" is named after the Choctaw tribe living in the southeast; and CH-37 "Mojave" and CH-54 "Tah". Well, that H-19 "Chickasaw" was named after the Chickasaw tribe. It is worth mentioning that, in this historical time and space, the Chickasaws are the Chekashas who were destroyed by the stone bear...

   In addition, the famous "Black Hawk" helicopter is named after the chief of the Sok tribe, Black Hawk.

   The RAH-66 "Comanche" and CH-47 "Chinook" developed by Boeing are also named after Indian tribes. The former has just been conquered by the stone bear in this historical time and space.

  The world's recognized number one armed helicopter in later generations is also the famous AH-64 "Apache" developed by Boeing, which is named after the Apache...

  From the naming of the Army Aviation helicopters by the Americans in later generations, it can be seen that the Apaches are powerful, otherwise the longbow Apache would not be named after the Apache.
