As for those Americans, or those colonists who came from Europe, Shi Xiong's ideas can be retained as much as possible.

　　 If a powerful empire wants to prosper, there is one most basic quality that cannot be lost, that is, it has a broad mind and can tolerate the existence of more different nations.

　　 In other words, a country with only one or two nations can never be strong forever. And those countries that can accommodate more nations and exist in harmony at the same time will inevitably become a powerful country.

　　 This has already been confirmed in later generations.

　　 Those powerful countries in later generations, whether it is China, Lao Maozi or the United States, are all multi-ethnic countries coexisting. These countries are extremely strong.

　　Similar to those small countries in Africa, there are not many ethnic groups in each country. What is the result?

　　 There are also those countries in the Middle East, which are even more difficult to deal with.

　　 Therefore, no matter who can win the Independence War in the end, Shi Xiong does not intend to let these Europeans who remain in the New World of North America go.

In fact, despite the fact that the population of European colonists in the New World of North America has surpassed that of Indians, most of these colonists were farmers and handicraftsmen who could not mix in Europe. They were a group of out-and-out suffering haha. .

　　 These people's requirements for life are actually very simple. As long as they can eat and feed their family, they will not rebel easily.

　　 This, this independence war has actually been confirmed.

　　 If the British government didn't survive these bitter squeezes, who would have eaten and support themselves to create a British reaction?

　　 And if the British government is not so cruel to the thirteen colonies, they will not lose the entire North American New World!

　　 Therefore, it is not so difficult to subdue these Europeans.

　　 Give them enough jobs, let them have enough land to cultivate, and reduce the tax burden on them, these people will not rebel.

　　 Besides, even if they have other ideas, they have to be implemented.

　　Are you really a display of the Grim Bear Army?

　　 Political power comes out of the barrel of a gun, Shi Xiong never dared to forget the words of Taizuye!

　　 Once these colonists can truly return to their hearts, then the talents among these colonists will inevitably be used by the empire!

　　 After Alvin Alston left, Shi Xiong kept thinking about these things, until the chief of the guard called him to eat, and Shi Xiong ended his thinking.

　　 Regarding how the empire should develop rapidly after it is established, this is a huge and long-term plan, and Shi Xiong also knows that he cannot perfect this huge plan in a short time.

　　Furthermore, the plan always cannot keep up with the rapid changes. Therefore, no matter how perfect the plan is, it needs to be temporarily changed according to the actual situation.

　　 After letting go of this idea for a while, Shi Xiong devoted all his energy to the upcoming battle in the following days.

　　 The Great Lakes region is located at a high latitude. The freezing starts at the end of December and the beginning of January each year, and the thawing begins at the end of March and the beginning of April.

　　 It is now mid-March. Although the ground is still snowy, according to reports from hot air balloon observers, it is now like Lake Erie at the south of the latitude, and the center of the lake has begun to thaw.

　　 While the Detroit River and the St. Clair River had not thaw, the eight regiments of the Second Division crossed the St. Clair Channel and began final preparations for the Iroquois general attack.

　　 The second division will stay two regiments near Detroit. These two regiments were not to watch the British, but to ensure that the second division's back path would not be cut off. This is what must be done in a war.

　　 After half a month, the snow on the ground has almost melted, and Shi Xiong issued a command for the general attack through the radio.

　　From Sault Ste. Marie in the north to Cleveland in the south, after deducting the remaining troops, the four divisions of the Grim Bear Army launched an attack on the Iroquois in the east along three lines with a total of 30,000 people.

　　 The first division on the northern line had the heaviest task, because the first division had to attack east along the northern shore of Lake Huron, the farthest, and would encounter the Hurons along the way. Therefore, the number of Grim Bears attacking the northern line is the largest. The seven regiments of the first division and the seventh division will form the North Route Army.

The middle road is the shortest distance between the eight regiments of the Second Division and the three regiments of the seventh division, with a total of 11,000 people, but the middle road army is the first unit to contact the Iroquois, so the mission of the middle road army It's not light.

　　 As for the South Route Army, which is the mixed eighth division stationed in Cleveland, after one regiment is left behind, the remaining nine regiments will attack eastward along the south bank of Lake Erie. The main task of the Mixed Eighth Division is to contain the Iroquois in the south. Of course, if the Iroquois pulls the main force to the south, then the mixed eighth division does not mind giving the Iroquois main force a cruel.

　　 After four or five years of development, the equipment of the ten divisions of the Grim Bear Army is actually the same. There is basically no difference in hard power. The weaker is soft power.

　　For example, combat experience, fighters’ will and so on.

　　 If the Iroquois really think that mixing the Eighth Division is good for bullying, then the nine regiments of the eighth division can definitely teach the Iroquois a profound lesson.

At that time, more than 2,000 people in the Expeditionary Army were able to defeat the main force of more than 20,000 Creeks led by the Bighorn Sheep~lightnovelpub.net~ Now the strength is far superior to that of the mixed eighth division of the Expeditionary Army. The main force of the Iroquois is still effortless.

Although the Iroquois are now the most powerful tribe in the northeastern part of the New World, their population is about one hundred thousand. Their overall strength is not much different from that of the Creek people. Eight divisions.

　　 Although the snow has almost melted, the speed of the Second Division's advance is not very fast. After all, the muddy road caused by snowmelt is still more difficult to walk.

　　 The 300-kilometer journey from Detroit to the later Hamilton, the Second Division took a full ten days. Part of the reason is that the road is difficult to follow, and the other reason is that there are continuous small-scale battles along the way.

　　 The Iroquois adopted the tactics of harassment, but this kind of tactics that are unprofitable against other tribes, when faced with the second division with an overwhelming weaponry advantage, completely turned into a tactic of fueling.

The diehard Iroquois obviously did not want to just raise the white flag. They sent a total of two to three thousand soldiers to harass the Second Division along the way. As a result, more than a thousand people were killed by the Second Division alone. There are also more than a thousand people!

　　Along the way, the hands of the soldiers of the Second Division can be said to be covered with Iroquois blood.

　　 But when the Second Division arrived in Hamilton, good news came from the Northern Army.

　　 The Hurons raised the white flag without any resistance...
