The seat of the Royal Court of the Iroquois League is on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, near Rochester in later generations.

　　 But now Rochester is just a small military fortress built by the French, but now it has been taken over by the British.

　　The scale of Rochester in later generations is not that big, but there are two famous existences in this city.

　　 One is the Rochester Institute of Technology, the second oldest private polytechnic university in the United States, and the other is the famous Erie Canal.

　　 Rochester Institute of Technology will not say much, Shixiong is not familiar with that university. But the later Erie Canal was a canal that Shixiong cared very much about.

　　 Although the Erie Canal dug by later Americans was from Buffalo to Albany, Rochester is the most important junction on this canal.

Because although the Erie Canal connects the Hudson River with the Great Lakes, Rochester is connected to the Erie Canal through the Genesee River that runs through its urban area. Eventually, ships can pass directly from Lake Ontario to Rochester, Genesee, and The Erie Canal leads directly to Buffalo and thus into Lake Erie.

　　 Shixiong had planned to also dig a canal similar to the Erie Canal, but he did not intend to dig that long. If you really dig a canal along the route of the later Erie Canal, with the current Cherokee technology, it is still somewhat reluctant.

　　 But this section of the canal from Rochester to Buffalo is not only short in distance, but also much less difficult to excavate, so Stone Bear’s plan is to first dig the canal from Rochester to Buffalo. In the future, if necessary, another section of the canal from Rochester to Albany via Syracuse will be dug.

　　 This is an important plan for Shi Xiong's future development, but he does not have the energy to focus on this now.

　　 He is now in the seat of the former Iroquois alliance's royal tent, where Wahak, the chief of the Mohawk tribe, is sitting, meeting the visiting British envoys.

　　The identity of this British envoy is unusual. He is Sir Henry Clinton, the current deputy commander-in-chief of the British Army in the United States.

　　 This middle-aged Englishman, now forty-six years old, participated in the Seven Years War 20 years ago, and returned to England after the victory of the Seven Years War. Now that the War of Independence broke out, he was sent to the North American New World last year to serve as the deputy commander in chief of the British Army.

　　 And Shi Xiong also knew that in the next year, this guy would become the commander-in-chief of the British army, and even the most important governor of Gibraltar in 1794.

　　 Henry Clinton's family is extraordinary. His uncle is the seventh Earl of Lincoln, and his family is also related to the Duke of Newcastle. Yes, the Duke of Newcastle is the Duke of Newcastle from the Cavendish family.

　　 This kind of family is not even better than that of Colonel Alvin Alston that Stone Bear has seen before.

　　 Although the two houses are both earls, the earls and earls are not the same.

　　 In any case, the middle-aged handsome pot who looks pretty handsome in front of him can personally lobby the stone bear, which is enough to show that the British attach great importance to the Cherokee tribe.

Although Henry Clinton was not a later British general and Governor of Gibraltar at this time, he had already been promoted from a brigadier general to a full-fledged British army four years ago, in 1772. Major General.

　　 In contrast, although Colonel Alvin Alston is more than ten years younger than Henry Clinton, there is still a brigadier general who is extremely difficult to cross between them.

　　 In any case, although Henry Clinton has not succeeded Major General William Howe as the commander-in-chief of the British army in the United States, his position as deputy commander-in-chief is still very good.

　　 Although Shi Xiong knew about this guy's information in his previous life, after the two met, they exchanged very polite greetings for a while.

　　 After introducing each other, Henry Clinton said his intentions directly.

　　 "Honorable Chieftain, Son of God, first of all, I would like to congratulate you and your army for taking back the ancestral land of the nobility. This is a very worthy celebration."

　　 Shixiong proudly said: "We have waited for this day for more than 300 years, and now we have realized our wish for more than 300 years. This is naturally something to be celebrated."

Henry Clinton said: "However, the nobles defeated our allies the Iroquois, which had a great influence on our military plan, so I would like to ask the Chief, you and your violent bear Do you have any plans for the army in the future? Well, I mean, can you continue to cooperate closely with our British Empire, just like you did with Colonel Jones in Jamestown?"

Shi Xiong looked at this somewhat serious Major General Colinton playfully, and then said with a smile: "General Colinton, I think at this sensitive moment, our Cherokee should abide by a neutral attitude. Okay. After all, the war between you and the Americans is an internal matter between you. As the natives of this continent, if we rashly join your family affairs, it doesn't seem very good, right?"

"No, honorable Chief Chief, although the war between us and the Americans is a civil war, as the overlord, we sincerely invite you and your army to join us. I hope we can work closely together again. Defeat those **** insurgents. In this way, we can continue to trade and cooperate more closely. You and your people can also gain the most sincere friendship of our British Empire~lightnovelpub.net~Could it be us Is there no sincere friendship now?" Shi Xiong made a joke.

　　 "Oh..." Major General Colinton also smiled awkwardly, "Of course, we also have incomparably sincere friendship now."

At this time, Stone Bear would naturally not promise anything to the Major General Colinton, so after a lot of laughter, Stone Bear still said seriously: "General Colinton, I think our tribe will It’s better to remain neutral. After all, not only have our trade with your country been maintained very well over the years, but also our trade with those Americans has also been maintained very well. You let me make a choice at this time, this It makes me very embarrassed. And as you know, we have just conquered several tribes in the Great Lakes region. At this time, the tribes need stability the most. Even if I want to intervene in this war between you and the Americans, I’m afraid My people will not agree."

　　 Stone Bear's words gave Major General Henry Clinton a look of disappointment on his face.

　　 Ke Shi Xiong's next words made his face turn cloudy.

"However, my dear General, although our tribe will not stand on your side, I will assure you that we will never stand on the American side. And in the next ten years , Our tribe will only develop ourselves with peace of mind, we will never take action against your country or the Americans. Well, there is one more point I hope you can consider, that is, you have probably heard of us Grumpy Sergeant. The weapons we use should be very good, so if your country needs some weapons and ammunition supplies, I think we can provide you with..."
