For this result, Shi Xiong is not surprised.

　　 In fact, before the convening of this joint meeting, Shi Xiong made an analysis on whether to proceed with the Northern Expedition now.

　　 Of course, it would be beneficial to carry out the Northern Expedition at this time. For example, in the past two years, the Grim Bear Army has taken the Great Southwest and the Great Northwest in a devastating manner, especially the conquered Sioux League and the Cheyenne, which directly shocked all the Indian tribes in the north.

　　 The sturdiness of the Su people is not just talking about it, it is really sturdy. The powerful Cree population living in central and eastern Canada is so large that the Cree people originally wanted to go south, but they were forced back by the Sioux, and they have been staying in the cold Canada until now.

　　 Are you a Cree and don’t want to go south? Don't want to live in the warmer Central Plains? But the problem is that the Sioux people are like a great wall, firmly blocking the Kerry people from going south.

　　 The Sioux League, with a population of only about 100,000, can block the Cree, who has twice the population of them, to the north, which proves the strength of the Sioux.

As a close neighbor of the Sioux, the Cheyenne not only fights with the Sioux people, but also fights with the Crowe in the north. What's more advantageous is that the Cheyenne not only fights with the two neighbors of the Sioux and the Crowe all day long, they It is also a mortal enemy of the Keowa people in the south.

　　In other words, the Cheyenne people have no strong enemies except for the presence of the tall Rocky Mountains in the west, and they have deadly enemies in the north, east, and south directions. However, the Cheyenne, who also had a population of less than 100,000, froze the attack of the Sioux, Crowe, and Kiowa, and they lived quite comfortably.

　　 This is enough to prove the sturdyness of Cheyenne.

　　 That is definitely a terrifying tribe that can be compared with the Sioux and even surpasses the Sioux in some respects.

　　 are such two sturdy and powerful tribes in the northwest and the entire north. In less than three months, they have fallen under the hands of the Cherokees. How powerful are the Cherokees?

　　 Didn’t you see that even the Crowe people migrated northward at night? If the Crowe did not leave, no one would doubt that the Crowe would also fall.

　　 And the remaining tribes in the north already know. The powerful tribes living south of them have now been conquered by the Cherokee!

　　 Such a powerful tribe is staring in the south, who is not afraid?

　　 If the Grim Bear Army attacked at this time, the tribes in the north would be easily disintegrated.

　　 Therefore, the Northern Expedition is also beneficial at this time.

　　 However, Shi Xiong is also worried that the Grim Bear Army’s three-year conquest will cause fatigue. This is not only physical fatigue, but more serious psychological fatigue. Moreover, many soldiers of the Grim Bear Army have been in the army for so many years, and some veterans should also retreat from the front line and become instructors of the second line.

　　 And so many tribes have been conquered in the past three years. It will also take time for these conquered tribes to merge in.

　　 Therefore, from the perspective of stability, it makes sense to suspend the Northern Expedition.

　　 Now, with the end of this joint meeting, Shi Xiong has made a decision in his heart, that is, to suspend the Northern Expedition and to consolidate the current situation with all his strength.

　　 In fact, even if it delayed the Northern Expedition for two years, Shi Xiong felt that it didn't matter.

The tribes living in the Great Lakes area are now either very good at hooking up with the British or with the French. Now if these tribes are rashly moved, maybe the British and the French will get involved. .

　　Especially the French, because of the rapid rise of the tribe and the move of the royal court to the shore of the Mi River, it directly cut off the Mississippi River, causing the French to suffer great losses. Coupled with the fact that in the past few years, the French were dissatisfied and sent people over to attack the Okron Fortress and the Memphis Fortress, and they were beaten by the violent bear army. Therefore, the tribe and the French have long become immortal enemies.

　　 Near the Mi River, the French are powerless against the tribe. But once the tribe really expedition to the North and enter the Great Lakes region, then no one can guarantee that the French sailing battleship will enter the Great Lakes along the St. Lawrence River.

　　 And the Great Lakes area is an area that the French have been operating for a long time. The French have a deep-rooted influence in that area. It is obviously not the right time to venture there and compete with the French.

　　 Similarly, the British have just won the Seven Years' War and are now busy taking over the Great Lakes area with all their strength. The British also regard the Great Lakes area as forbidden. If the tribes expedition to the north, the British might also take action.

　　 Although Shi Xiong is not worried about the French and the British, even if the two work together, Shi Xiong is sure to beat them away. But it is obviously not a good strategy to get into two powerful enemies for no reason.

　　 If this is the case, why not wait until the war of independence breaks out?

　　 Once the gunshots of Lexington, a small village north of Boston, sounded, let alone the British, even the French would no longer care about the Indian tribes of the Great Lakes region.

If the historical deviation does not show a big change, then there is still a full four years before the sound of the Lexington gun~lightnovelpub.net~ If you take advantage of these four years to consolidate the current As a result, if all the tribes that have been conquered are completely integrated, it is definitely a good time to take advantage of the outbreak of the War of Independence and then attack the tribes in the north.

　　 Even if this historical time and space has changed because of its own arrival and the rise of the Cherokee tribe, that doesn’t matter.

　　In any case, it is necessary to develop the internal affairs properly. The increase of food production, the increase of the population, the promotion of education, the integration of other tribes, and the integration of mixed divisions all take time.

　　 If the internal affairs of the tribe can be done well before the Northern Expedition, it will be much easier during the Northern Expedition.

　　The most important thing is that the radio tackling team led by Gedi Roy has now achieved certain results. But it also takes time to truly apply radio.

　　 The importance of communication is undoubtedly important, especially once the tribes lay down those tribes in the north, thereby building an extremely vast empire, then an extremely effective and extremely fast communication method is needed to manage this huge territory.

　　 Now the tribe has controlled half of the territory of the entire New World of North America. The narrow and long area on the west coast and the frigid regions of northern Canada in later generations are like a tasteless existence for stone bears. It will not be too late to fight after the empire is established. Therefore, how to better stabilize such a large territory has become the most important thing.

　　 In combination with the joint meeting of several leaders, Shi Xiong also wanted to wait for everything to be done before proceeding with the Northern Expedition.
