Zhao Xu had such a plan when he gathered the Grizzly Bear Division.
He is considered an old man in the Far East, so he naturally knows about the Arctic Advance Team, which is famous in the Far East and the Far North.
That special army, composed of special forces members, local indigenous people, and Japanese samurai, was active in the Far North and made great achievements in combat.
In places with such a harsh environment, local indigenous people can often play an important role if they can use it well.
When he first gathered the Grizzly Bear tribe, Zhao Xu took a liking to Grizzly Bear, and of course his ability.
This Indian is smart, brave, and has the potential to become an indigenous leader.
More importantly, his tribe is very weak. In the future, with the support of the Pioneer Team, this person can grow bigger, but he does not have his own team, so in the future, he will still have to rely on the Pioneer Team and the Renaissance Army.
And such people will be more loyal to the Renaissance Army.
Of course, so-called loyalty is very fragile.
Only if the Renaissance Army remains strong can this kind of loyalty be maintained and be unbreakable.
Zhao Xu personally discussed this matter with Grizzly Bear just to make Grizzly Bear feel that he was valued.
In order to better integrate the grizzly bear into the group of the Renaissance Army, Zhao Xu also gave the grizzly bear a Han Chinese name.
After all, if he is naturalized, he will also have to register his identity information.
This name goes very well with a grizzly bear and is very domineering.
"Bear Big" is the current name of the grizzly bear.
When he learned the meaning of his name from the translator, Grizzly Bear was also very happy. He was the biggest. If he gave birth to children in the future, he would call them Xiong Two, Xiong Three...
From today on, he, Xiong Da, will be a general of the Dragon Tribe.
Of course, he would go back and bring his people, gather more forest tribes, and then bring these Indians to the Great Lakes next spring to receive training from the pioneer team.
Zhao Xu and Dong Shuheng came up with this plan together.
The forest Indian warriors Xiong Da recruited later happened to be added to the North American advance team.
They used their status not only to attack prairie Indians, but they did not kill prisoners indiscriminately, but absorbed these Indians into their own ranks and continued to strengthen themselves.
And they could use their identity as a cover to directly attack British settlements.
Just like Simpson is doing now.
This proxy war started by the British in North America will eventually affect them.
Of course, these are all things for later.
When winter enters, the Pioneers' mission for this year will be completed.
The winter time here is destined to be spent in vain.
After Gao Jun delivered the things, he hurried back before it was frozen.
Gao Jun also received a military mission, which was to take Xiong Da to take advantage of the Indian cat winter to go to the forest to gather those Indian tribes.
As long as the people gathered in the winter are gentler, these people will not even be able to escape, because if they escape to the wild, they will freeze to death and starve to death. It is better to stay as prisoners.
And if Gao Jun and Xiong Da gathered these people, they would definitely gather their food reserves as well.
As long as you control these foods, you don't have to worry about these people running away.
No one knows how many Indians there are in this big forest.
One-third of western Canada consists of such high mountains and hilly areas, covered everywhere by forests. The forest seems to be a huge curtain covering everything.
The total area of such a large piece of land is several million square kilometers.
It takes several thousand kilometers from north to south, and several thousand kilometers from east to west. The stretching Rocky Mountains run through the entire North American continent from north to south.
Now, whether in Canada in the north or the United States in the south, the Chinese are active on both sides of the Rocky Mountains.
The territory within Canada is the territory directly under the Renaissance Army.
Zhuzhou and Dongzhou on the western coast have already established government administration.
California is now effectively in Chinese hands.
At this time, California was still a state in the United States.
Further north, in the Oregon and Washington areas, the forces of the Renaissance Army are also penetrating there from the north and south.
The Civil War in Kansas temporarily entered a low ebb with the arrival of winter.
After the last large-scale battle between the two sides, it has been a long time since a large-scale battle broke out.
Wall organized Chinese mercenaries to build a large number of small bastions in his defense zone.
This gives them the initiative when defending.
People on both sides followed suit one after another, and this strategy also brought the war into a long stalemate.
Now the most capable Chinese regiment on the entire battlefield has long been the object of attention from all parties.
They all imitated the Chinese regiments in using breech-loading rifles.
Both parties have their own purchasing channels.
The Southern Army ordered a batch of rifles from the Renaissance Army through the Chinese Legion.
But that's not all, they also purchased newly produced Enfield breech-loading guns from the British.
Even the British's new Whitworth breech-loading cannon appeared on the battlefield.
This place became the IWC Weapons Expo.
The Northern Army also imported some breech-loading guns, but they had strong industrial strength.
They can already imitate breech-loading guns on a large scale.
Although the North and the South are still under the same Stars and Stripes banner.
But the North and the South had already aligned themselves because of the Civil War in Kansas.
They have used their own money bags to help themselves choose a camp.
The war has reached this point, and both the North and the South have reduced Kansas to rubble. The land is basically deserted.
All the white immigrants who had arrived here before were recruited into the army.
The newly built homes of northern liberal immigrants were looted and burned by Confederate troops.
Plantations established by southerners were also largely destroyed.
High mercenary military expenses and consumption of weapons and ammunition.
Everything depends on the support from the forces behind.
Otherwise, this war would not have been fought till now, and its scale would be getting bigger and bigger.
Both sides have already lost many people, but every battle loss will usher in a larger increase in troops.
At this time, the strength of both the North and the South had exceeded 20,000, which was several times the number at the beginning.
The current American government is also happy that the two forces will control the war in Kansas.
The president even felt that this could slowly release the conflicts between the two parties.
Even when Kansas was deciding the winner, one side would take the initiative to admit defeat to avoid the outbreak of a full-scale civil war.
It is with this idea in mind that the federal government has not sent troops to intervene until now.
This is the current situation, a loose America.
The big family forces in each state control the parliament, and then the parliament and the governor control the military and political power of one party.
In San Francisco, Li Kaicheng, the general manager of the West Coast Company, was meeting with Zhang Guangshun, the general manager of Yangtze River Security. These two people may now be regarded as the two most powerful people in California.
There are two of them, one is in charge of the money bag and the other is in charge of the barrel of the gun.
It's a perfect pair.
Although Li Kaicheng is only forty years old, he is already an old man in Dong Shuheng's family.
He was born in the Dong family since he was a child, so he was considered a son of the family. He also learned business from his elders since he was a child, and he was well-informed.
Dong Shuheng sent Zhang Guangshun and Bai Qiwen to California in the early days of starting his business.
The purpose is to let him help Dong Shuheng build a night empire in California.
If Huaihai Company is a generous gift that Dong Shuheng is ready to give to his mother country.
Then West Coast Company will be one of the options Dong Shuheng leaves for his family.
The West Coast Company now controls a large amount of land and mine property rights in California and the surrounding Midwestern United States. Even the San Francisco to Los Angeles railway was built by the West Coast Company.
The final owners of these assets are Dong Shuheng and his family.
Some of the key people working here are also members of the Dong family.
Li Kaicheng is at the helm of these assets.
Zhang Guangshun's background is similar to that of Li Kaicheng.
However, when Yangtze Security was first established, Dong Shuheng did not expect that they would be able to shine in America.
At that time, it was just a nail placed on Shanghai by the Huai Navy.
As for sending them to North America later, it was because they completed their mission in the country.
It's just that this chess piece actually shines here in North America.
This is also different from the originally planned strategy of using San Francisco as a base to develop into Central and South America.
So the world is full of twists and turns. Dong Shuheng didn't even know that there was a Kansas Civil War before the Civil War.
However, Dong Shuheng was not willing to give up on matters in Central and South America.
But now, the Yangtze River security forces are in short supply and cannot spare the time to go to Central and South America.
Then the only way is to continue sending troops.
But we need to study it carefully as to how to send it.
This summer, many veterans have served for more than three years.
It just so happened that the Renaissance Army had a truce with the Russians again.
So Dong Shuheng decided to retire some of the veterans in the army.
In fact, most of the original veterans of the Renaissance Army became officers. The remaining veteran leaders were really unable to study, but many of them also became non-commissioned officers.
Some of the veterans who retired this time have gone to work as local militia instructors or as police officers in the police station.
A large portion was mobilized to California.
Dong Shuheng sent Liu Mingyuan to handle this matter personally.
These people were the first Yanding to follow Dong Shuheng.
Dong Shuheng uprooted them from their humble beginnings and let them eat well, wear military uniforms, and live like real people.
These people's loyalty to Dong Shuheng comes from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, Liu Mingyuan talked to them separately and asked them if they were willing to become Dong Shuheng's retainers.
After becoming a retainer, you can be allocated a piece of land in California of no less than a thousand acres. You can recruit stewards from the country, and even recruit servants from Korea and the shogunate to farm.
And they will join the Yangtze River Security Bureau as Dong Shuheng's retainers, fight for Dong Shuheng abroad, and will only be loyal to Dong Shuheng and his family in this life.
These people are naturally willing to become Dong Shuheng's retainers, even if they have to give up everything they have left in the country.
But these people are not the only children in the family. The family property can be left to their family members.
So in the summer of 1956, many veterans and their families boarded a cruise ship to California.
Dong Shuheng's power in North America will also usher in a major explosion.
This is Dong Shuheng's own power, not the power of the Renaissance Army. The two are completely different.
Yangtze Security will become a pure Dong family army in the future. West Coast Company will control the money bag of this army.
This meeting between Li Kaicheng and Zhang Guangshun was to discuss the resettlement of these people.
These people have been arriving one after another since a month ago.
They are different from ordinary immigrants, these people are retainers.
In terms of identity, they are the same as Zhang Guangshun and Li Kaicheng.
