The importance of the Bingham Canyon copper mine is undoubtedly important. Whether it is in the United States in the previous life or the current Yanhuang tribe, the status of this copper mine is extremely important.

　　

　　Copper, as a non-ferrous metal, does not belong to the category of precious metals, but copper has a wide range of applications. For the Yanhuang tribe, there are many places where copper will be used in the future, so this copper mine must be well mined.

　　

　　 Bingham Canyon Copper Mine not only has copper mines, but also has many types of associated mines, the most important of which are gold and silver.

　　

　　 If the ratio of gold to copper is not too large, it would be fine if this mine is called a copper-gold mine.

　　

　　The Yanhuang tribe will inevitably establish a country in the future, and once the country is established, the status of heavy metals such as gold and silver will immediately rise a lot. Whether trading with Europe or as a reserve fund, gold and silver are indispensable precious metals.

　　

　　 North America does not lack gold, but most of the gold is produced in the Rocky Mountains. In particular, several famous gold mines in the past are all located in Nevada, which is further west of the Bingham Canyon copper mine. Before Stone Bear plans to conquer and develop the West Coast, gold mining there is still very difficult.

　　

　　 Therefore, the Bingham Canyon Copper Mine may be the most important copper mine of the Yanhuang tribe in the next ten years.

　　

　　 Ishixiong is even thinking that if I have a chance in the future, I will get Mexico down directly. Mexico’s silver reserves are so abundant that Ishixiong is jealous.

　　

　　In the past life of Shixiong, the country with the largest proven silver reserves in the world was Canada, and the United States and Mexico were also in the top five. Now that Canada and the United States are in control, if Mexico is taken down, half of the world's silver will be in his own hands.

　　

　　 Similarly, the United States and Canada also have rich gold reserves, which has also been proven in the past lives of Stone Bear.

　　

　　 So, why should the Europeans occupy such a vast and rich North American continent?

　　

　　 Before I had a soul to wear it, I was nothing wrong with this matter. But now that I wear my soul, this vast and fertile continent cannot be occupied by others!

　　

　　 Stone Bear stayed at the Bingham Canyon Copper Mine for a full month. It was not that he didn't want to go back, but when he wanted to go, a heavy snow blocked all the roads.

　　

　　 The Great Salt Lake is located in the Rocky Mountain Basin. Because of the terrain, heavy snowfall is common in winter here. Moreover, the amount of snowfall here is not much worse than that of the Great Lakes and Canada, which is further north.

　　

　　The later Salt Lake City is a famous ski resort in North America. Often after a heavy snowfall, the snow on the ground is more than one meter deep. It catches up with a snow nest, and you can’t see it when you fall into it...

　　

　　 This is a mountainous area, not comparable to the Great Lakes area in the north, so once it snows, let alone go home, it will be difficult to walk from the gathering place to the mining area. It only took three days for thousands of people to clean the road from the gathering place to the mining area.

　　

　　 Fortunately, there are enough food and supplies in the mine, otherwise nothing can be transported in due to the weather.

　　

　　 So, Shi Xiong had no choice but to stay here for more than a month before embarking on the way back to Beijing.

　　

It was March 1778 when Shi Xiong returned to Beijing. Salt Lake City is still cold at this time, but in Shangjing, which is almost at the same latitude, it is already blooming in spring.

　　

　　 As soon as he returned to Shangjing, Shi Xiong knew one thing.

　　

　　 That is, although there is no Saratoga, the French still declared war on Britain a few days ago!

　　

　　 History seems to have quietly adjusted back to its original trajectory without knowing it.

　　

　　 Now even Shi Xiong doesn’t know whether France’s declaration of war on Britain is good or bad.

　　

　　In the original historical time and space, because of Saratogatze, the French saw the weakness of the British, so they decisively declared war on the British in early March 1778.

　　

　　 In this era, although the United Kingdom is the most powerful country in Europe, there is hardly anyone in Europe that likes Britain.

　　

　　 Needless to say, Spain and the Netherlands, these two countries lost their first position in Europe because they were defeated by the United Kingdom. These two countries naturally have no good impressions of Britain.

　　

　　 As far as France is concerned, it is also the enemy of Britain.

　　

　　 If Spain and the Netherlands have never dared to do anything to the British after they were defeated by the British, the French, even if they were defeated in the seven-year war that had just ended, still looked forward to the British.

　　

　　 Are you really a French so willing to cede New France, French Louisiana, and India to the British?

　　

　　 A war caused the French to lose more than half of their overseas colonies, which is simply killing the French.

　　

　　 But the French can't beat the British at this time, so the French are also very aggrieved.

　　

　　 Suddenly, there was a commotion inside the British, and more than two million colonists in the New World of North America suddenly jumped out to fight on their own. This incident immediately let the French see an opportunity.

　　

　　 How important the thirteen colonies in North America are to the British is something that any country in Europe knows very well. It is no exaggeration to say that the current 13 colonies in North America are the most important overseas colonies of Britain, even more important than India, which was just taken from the hands of the French!

　　

　　 Now the British are suddenly rebelling. It would be strange if the French didn't take this opportunity to regain the lost face and colonies.

　　

　　 It is recognized in the original historical time and space that because of Saratoga Czech, French talents declared war on Britain.

　　

But in this time and space, Saratoga Jade fought the most tragic battle in which more than 10,000 people were killed and injured on both sides. The Continental Army did not take any advantage, and even lost more than the British, but the French were still right. Britain has declared war.

　　

　　 Obviously, whether with or without Saratoga, the French are already the bastards, and they are determined to continue to deal with the British.

　　

　　 Shi Xiong estimated that the root cause of the French declaration of war on the British was Louis XVI, who was controlled by the queen. U U Reading www.uukanshu.cóm

　　

　　 When Louis XV was in power, the French lost to the British in the Seven Years' War, which resulted in the loss of a large number of overseas colonies and a sharp drop in French fiscal revenue. When Louis XV died, his grandson Louis XVI came to power and had no money in his pocket, and he caught up with a particularly powerful and extravagant queen, so Louis XVI also wanted to make more money.

　　

　　 Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Louis XVI set his sights on the New World of North America.

　　

　　 Obviously, Louis XVI wanted to re-acquire the lost North American colonies, so as to alleviate the current situation of empty treasury and high debt. Therefore, whether with or without Saratoga, Louis XVI's declaration of war on the British is a necessity.

　　

　　 It’s just that you, the French, declare war on the United Kingdom. Why do you want to send a navy around the sea near Norfolk, the eastern capital?

　　

　　 Could it be that Louis XVI still wants to get back the face he lost in the eastern capital of Norfolk?
