Super Chief

Chapter 555: Golden waterway cut off

As the commander of the First Division, Kuai Ma was also the highest commander of the Northern Route Army. He sent the news that the Hurons raised the white flag.

   However, due to the limited distance of radio communication nowadays, what Kuaima said in the wireless telegram was not very detailed, but only the general process.

   In fact, Shi Xiong can guess the Huron's choice even if he doesn't talk about it.

   In fact, the Hurons have no choice at all. Otherwise, the Huron chief would not send his brother over to make peace.

   The area where the Huron people originally lived is pretty good. Although the climatic conditions along the St. Lawrence River are not good, they are definitely much stronger than on the Lake Huron shore. Unfortunately, the Hurons who have lived there for generations were driven to the west by the Iroquois.

The Hurons also want to find a good place to continue to survive, but there are powerful Crees in the north, and the same powerful Chippewas in the west, and the relationship between the Hurons and the Chippewas is pretty good. They can't go. Occupy the place of the Chippewa people.

  Besides, because of their strength, they can't beat them even if they want to occupy the place where the Peva people.

   There are the Great Lakes to the south. Even if it is to the south of the Great Lakes, there are Ottawa and Erie people, they are also allies.

   Even if they continue to move northward at the risk of being attacked by the Cree, it is impossible. The Hurons do not live in the Arctic for generations like the Inuit. They have a hand in how to withstand the severe cold and how to find prey in the cold tundra. If the Hurons continue to go north, the cold weather will be enough to exterminate their race.

   Therefore, the Hurons can only be trapped on the north shore of Lake Huron.

   The average night temperature here is below zero for eight months of the year. Even in summer, the temperature here is not very high. The key is that the summer is very short, and the time for hunting is also very short. As for planting, you can only plant one season a year.

   Therefore, among the Indian tribes along the Great Lakes, the Hurons belong to the kind of status where grandma does not care for uncles, and it is very embarrassing.

   Now the Cherokees, who are so powerful that people feel terrified, are fighting over. The Hurons have nowhere to run or hide. Their only choice is to surrender or fight to death.

   Obviously, Chief Balzaka knew his strength too well. Fighting to the death with the powerful Grim Bear army, they don't even have the qualifications. If they dare to fight to the death, then the egg hitting the stone is their only end.

  Since the Cherokees can't fight to the death, and the Cherokees do not accept the peace, then the Hurons actually have the only option left, unconditional surrender!

   Just a first division can easily crush the entire Huron clan, Shi Xiong has no doubt about this.

   Therefore, the Hurons are seeing the soldiers of the First Division coming over, and they have no way to go except surrender.

   Of course, the Huron surrendered unconditionally. This is undoubtedly good news. After all, the Hurons are also a tribe with a population of more than 50,000. If they can win this tribe without blood, Shi Xiong has always responded with a welcome attitude.

   And this kind of tribe that directly and unconditionally surrendered, merged together exceptionally smoothly in the future. Just like the Pueblos, Osages, Choctaws, and Navajos in the past, the process of integration went smoothly.

   Because once they surrendered unconditionally, they actually passed that level involuntarily psychologically.

   This good news also made Shi Xiong order the Central Route Army to rest for a day and celebrate at the same time.

   More than ten days of marching made the soldiers tired, and the engineer battalion in front also needed to build a pontoon bridge over the Niagara River.

   Because the location to cross the Niagara River is on the upper reaches of the Niagara River, which is the mouth of Lake Erie, the straight-line distance from where to Hamilton is less than 100 kilometers, so the soldiers will not delay the offensive for a day off.

   After all, along the way, the soldiers of the Second Division and the Seventh Division have completely frightened the Iroquois who were harassing them. It has been three days since I saw the harassed Iroquois.

   It is estimated that by this time the Iroquois had gathered all the main forces and prepared for a real decisive battle with the Grizzly soldiers somewhere.

   For the Iroquois's choice, Shi Xiong didn't care at all. Regardless of whether it is the Second Division or the Mixed Eighth Division in the south, as long as they arrive at the designated location, there are only two endings for the Iroquois. One is to surrender after being beaten and collapsed, and the other is to surrender unconditionally.

   But Shixiong estimated that the Iroquois would choose the former 90% of the time. After all, the Iroquois have been rampant in this area for hundreds of years, and they have never lost here. Even though the Iroquois were involved in the Seven Years' War 20 years ago, they also wisely chose to stand on the side of the British, and they won again.

   This kind of tribe that has not tasted the taste of failure for hundreds of years can easily develop arrogance and even arrogant pride. Therefore, they are very hard now, even if they hit the south wall, they probably won't look back easily, but will continue to try to crash the south wall with their heads!

   Partial Stone Bear now likes to treat all kinds of head irons!

   After a day of repairing on the front line of Hamilton, the army continued to advance east. Two days later, the army gathered on the west bank of the Niagara River.

   However, Stone Bear did not follow the army to the Niagara River~lightnovelpub.net~ He and Joe Laklulu, who rushed over, were investigating the army's position about 20 kilometers away from the Niagara River.

   If Stone Bear is now the president of the Cherokee, then Chora Klulu is equivalent to the prime minister of the Cherokee.

   Benefiting from his outstanding contributions to the internal affairs of the past few years, Shi Xiong is relieved to hand over the internal affairs of the tribe to him. Chora Klulu is also the third in name of the entire Cherokee tribe, second only to Stone Bear and Kabru High Priest. But the power he now holds is the recognized second-in-command in the tribe.

   Now, under the protection of hundreds of guards, Stone Bear and Chora Klulu are standing next to a natural river near the later St. Catharines.

"Joracrulu, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will see the big waterfall on the Niagara River. Without that big waterfall, the natural course of the Niagara River would become a golden waterway. But because of that big waterfall. With the existence of the waterfall, this golden waterway was forcibly cut off, and ships could not navigate between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. Therefore, we must find a way to bypass the waterfall and find a new waterway to connect the two lakes. Connected so that we can take a boat from Shangjing to the east to the Atlantic Ocean in the east!"

   Joe Lakrulu looked down at the map in his hand and said, "Boss, what you mean is that we have to build an artificial canal here just like you said before to build an artificial canal near Chicago?"

   Shixiong nodded, looked up at this natural river not far away, and exhaled a white breath...
