Super Chief

Chapter 585: East Norfolk (Part 1)

Facts have proved that Stone Bear's decision to send Wakaya and the tribesmen who guard the tribe to the Gaoshu tribe was extremely wise.

   This place was built by the High Priest Kabru, and this is the real home of the High Priest Kabru.

   And Wakaya and they are also the direct line of the High Priest of Kabru. We must know that the ancestor who took the initiative to leave to guard the ancestral land back then, but the next Kabru high priest appointed by the imperial court. If she did not insist on staying to protect the ancestral land, then she was the high priest of Kabru.

   But this kind of thing is difficult to say, but in any case, Wakaya and the others are absolutely Kabru high priests, and no one can deny this.

   And Wakaya also knows that this is the tribe established by the Kabul High Priest himself after the tribe moved south, and the tribe of Kabul High Priest has lived here for more than two hundred years.

   When they came here, they really went home.

   Moreover, in addition to the guards of the Grimbear Army soldiers in the Gaoshu tribe, most of the others here are people who are unwilling to leave here, mainly the elderly and women. Wakaya and the others are also in the same situation. They are all old and weak, women and children, so they can blend in here faster.

   Stone Bear and the others stayed in the Gaoshu tribe for three days. They watched Wakaya quickly integrate into the tribe. Only then did they feel relieved to leave here and continue to the east.

   This trip to the Stone Bear was not only to pay tribute to Baiyun and Thunder Eagle, nor was it not only to send the people who guarded the tribe to the Gaoshu tribe. He had more important things, and that was to go to the eastern capital of Norfolk.

   Even if Norfolk has penetrated into the Thirteenth Colony, Stone Bear did not take the Green Skylark and the three wives, but left them in the Gaoshu tribe.

   Be aware that except for Hekal who lived in the Gaoshu tribe for a few months, Tatari has never lived in the Gaoshu tribe.

   And with the addition of the Guardian Tribe, there are now many children in the Gaoshu Tribe. Putting Hekal and Tatari here will surely make their brothers and sisters spend a wonderful summer.

   After all arrangements were made, Shi Xiong led the five hundred guards and began to march eastward.

   The hard bones who personally accompany the stone bear will also follow the stone bear to Norfolk.

   Hard bone is not only the commander of the Guards, but also the commander of the Navy. Although he has delegated many things for the navy to his subordinates in the past two years, and has shifted the focus of his work to the guards, he still bears the name of a navy commander. Therefore, before Shi Xiong can choose the next navy commander, he must also take care of the important matters of the navy side.

   For example, if I go to Norfolk this time, I must go to the hard bones.

   Because there was news from Norfolk that it was the first iron-clad battleship to use steam engines as power to launch.

   The shipbuilding plan of a warship with a steam engine as power and steel as a hull was secretly launched at the Norfolk Naval Harbor shipyard eight years ago. However, this kind of unprecedented steel battleship has never been in contact with even those skilled workers dug from major European shipyards. If it weren’t for Shixiong's golden fingers to point out from time to time, this kind of steel battleship would not know how long it would take It takes time to build successfully.

   But even with Stone Bear’s golden fingers, this steel battleship used for experimentation took eight years to barely launch.

   But this is undoubtedly a big deal for the stone bear and the entire Yanhuang tribe.

   Shixiong, who knows the power of steel battleships, knows very well that once such battleships can really form combat effectiveness, then the four oceans around the world will become bathing pools for the Yanhuang tribe!

   Before a breakthrough in space technology, no one could know the importance of sea power better than Shi Xiong! Even in later generations, sea power is still one of the core interests of all countries!

  The Yanhuang tribe was originally hundreds of years behind the European powers in terms of sea power, so if they want to catch up with or even surpass the European powers, they must find another way. Therefore, a new type of warship that uses a steam engine as power and steel as a hull has become the killer of the stone bear.

   Now that the assassin's key is a little bit more eye-catching, Shi Xiong must go over and take a look.

   The eastern capital of Norfolk is directly east of the Gaoshu tribe, and the straight-line distance between the two places exceeds 700 kilometers.

   But if you want to go from the Gaoshu tribe to the eastern capital of Norfolk, you have to cross the Blue Ridge, so the journey far exceeds 700 kilometers.

   But this route has long been mature, because the trade group led by Major Hank came to the Gaoshu tribe to exchange salt, and it has been following this route. Jamestown, where Major Hank was stationed, was not far from Norfolk, the eastern capital.

   Stone Bear has also traveled this route twice. The expeditionary army also took this route when they fought the Powatan people.

   Ishikuma and the others were all cavalry troops on this trip. Coupled with the mature route, they moved extremely fast. In just four days, they ran a distance of more than 800 kilometers and arrived in Norfolk, the eastern capital.

  Norfolk is located in the southern part of the Chesapeake Bay, the largest bay in the later generations of the United States, where it is the largest naval base in the later generations of the United States.

Later generations, this large area including Norfolk has a very famous name-Hampton Anchorage~lightnovelpub.net~ This huge naval base covering an area of ​​more than 36,000 acres relies on the natural nature of the mouth of the James River. The deep-water port was completed and became the largest naval base in the later generations of the United States. Including Norfolk Naval Base, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base, Oceana Naval Air Base and Yorktown Naval Weapons Base. It was also the location of the Fifth Military District Command of the U.S. Navy, the Atlantic Fleet Command, the Tactical Air Force Command, the Continental Army Command, and the headquarters of the Army Transportation Center.

   It is no exaggeration to say that in later generations, this is the military center of the United States!

   But in this era, this place is far from being comparable to the Hampton Anchorage in later generations.

   Now in this area, in addition to Jamestown, Britain’s earliest permanent colony in North America, there are now Williamsburg, the capital of the Virginia colony, and the prosperous seaport Yorktown.

   The current Williamsburg is not the small city of Williamsburg in later generations. Since Williamsburg, which replaced Jamestown as the capital of the Virginia colony in 1699, can now be listed as the four major political, military and economic centers of North America alongside Boston, New York and Philadelphia!

   But whether it's Williamsburg or Jamestown or Yorktown, it has nothing to do with Stone Bear now. Although he had been to Jamestown and Williamsburg when he was fighting for the Poitans before, he really didn't bother to pay attention to those two small cities this time. His destination is Norfolk, Norfolk, the eastern capital of the Yanhuang tribe on the south bank of the James River estuary!
