Chapter 266 New World
In 1726, the world entered a new development. In the North American continent, a Yanhuang trading company built by Indians suddenly came out, defeating the British and French, and dominating the North American continent. The Spanish and Portuguese Dutch all shrank their defenses and shivered in their own acre of three-point land, afraid that the company would attack. The Indian tribe that could not survive, the somewhat visionary Indian tribe went thousands of miles to seek refuge. A giant seemed to be taking shape.
On the European continent, the white people thought that the whites were fighting in full swing. The British and French were fighting in full swing. The British finally delayed the time and let the French fight to the city of London, and the 80,000 servants finally arrived. Although they lost one after another in the battle, the main force of the British still did not suffer much casualties. In addition, they had a great prestige in various colonies, so the servants did not dare to resist. They still obeyed the orders of the British and were cannon fodder for them on the front line.
Although one-on-one cannot be defeated, it can at least delay the progress of the French and make them waste more bullets. At the same time, the British gathered a large army to fight against the French fleet at sea. The performance of the front-mounted rifled guns did not have the advantage of absolute crushing the front-mounted guns, so French warships equipped with heavy punches did not do well in front of the absolute number of British warships, and could only barely remain unbeaten.
However, even so, Louis XV was very satisfied. After all, if the warships were in the past, they would probably fail directly. However, due to the harassment of the British fleet, the French team that attacked the British mainland was less and less supplies, and they were no longer able to continue the attack. The consul of the Yanhuang Trading Company, in accordance with the initial advice given by Xiao Lin, persuaded Louis XV to change the offensive routine. The French entered the stable defensive stage, occupying one-tenth of the British Isles, and began to consolidate their rule.
After breathing a sigh of relief, the British found that there was still no way to do it for the time being. The current supply fleet had just enough ammunition to transport the French to defend and fight. The British could not suppress it anymore. The two sides entered a stalemate and then began to support their respective brothers to start the war. I don’t know how to get along, the Spanish and the British got together, and the Portuguese got together. Spain and Portugal were originally a feud, and the boss behind them was in a state of war. Now, the two countries also started to beat them up.
Louis XV moved a large number of French troops to Portugal because of Hall M1819 and heavy punches. The Portuguese army's strength suddenly became stronger than the Spanish. In addition, the French instructors were all apprentices of a group of instructors sent by the company. Two swords were two swords, but their ability was indeed stronger than those of the Spanish and Portuguese. Under their guidance, the Portuguese advanced rapidly and fought all the way to make the Spanish a little breathless.
Seeing the complete transformation of the French who cooperated with the company, the Spanish Royal Family and the Portuguese Royal Family also had bad thoughts. Since the French could learn from the company and learn advanced weapons and advanced tactics, why can't they? The two countries were also one of the major maritime powers at the time, but later they were overtaken by Britain and France, and they had to become younger brothers. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept it. If they could get the same thing as the French, then they would not say that they would restore their former glory and win more respect.
The kings of the two kingdoms each wrote a stern-worded letter of order, which made the two governors in the South American continent, who had to find the Yanhuang Trading Company and discuss cooperation with their bosses. What surprised the two governors even more was that the bottom line given by the king was that they completely gave up the colony and taught the territory to the company. The two were also very helpless, but the local stern-worded orders could not be ignored, so they could only lead a team of 300 guards to rush to the North American continent with difficulty.
Xiao Lin didn't know yet. At this time, he was discussing with Qu Jun and Yu Xiao for future development. Now in the North American continent, the Yanhuang Trading Company has no rivals. The total population has exceeded one million, and the number of permanent troops has expanded by 20,000 to 40,000. The total number of militias has reached 100,000. In normal farming, in times of crisis, it is directly a hundred thousand troops stronger than the regular European army. The territory has shrunk, and unnecessary villages and towns have been abandoned. The valuable ones are flowing as new refugee resettlement sites to resettle those Indians who defect to the company.
The industrialization process has been completed, reaching the state of the Germans before the beginning of World War I. Of course, it is not the peak, but it has also appeared in the prototype. The whites and Indians who have joined the company will conduct three months of basic industrial training or agricultural training based on their choices and hobbies, and they will become basically qualified workers or farmers. Everyone's strength is greatly strengthened. The Spring Festival celebration in 1726 even conquered everyone's hearts without any signs of riot.
The entire company is growing itself at an extremely fast speed. However, there are not no hidden dangers. First of all, the huge productivity brought by the development of industry has caused various outputs to continue to increase. Moreover, the increase rate is extremely amazing. One million people, seemingly a lot, but even Indians and whites who like to consume cannot provide a large enough market. According to this trend, by 2017, the production capacity will be overcapacity, and the Yanhuang Trading Company itself cannot digest it.
Therefore, it is necessary to find the dumping place in advance. With the quality of the company's products, there is no situation where it cannot be sold, and it may only be snatched by pirates and robbers. When the company's naval strength has not yet expanded to be strong enough, shipping is more difficult. Ijik's current naval forces are basically all the sailors who have worked and potential on the North American continent. It is not that they cannot find qualified naval candidates, but training takes too much time.
This is the case with sailing boats, and the requirements for sailing boats are stricter. The cannons and steam engines on the boat require the crew to understand the operation and maintenance. If you don’t understand these, you will have no place to use it when you get on the boat. A qualified naval sailor can only be trained in one year even with the company’s ability. If you want to sail from the ocean, it will take more than two years of training. Otherwise, Xiao Lin would not be relieved. A sailing boat would cost a lot.
There are probably only a few solutions to the current path. First, we began to encourage more children and children in the company on a large scale. The territory of the Americans in the 21st century is not much different from that of the North American continent, but hundreds of millions of people are still so empty, with large areas of no man’s land. There are only one million people now, and even if the scattered Indians who have not yet surrendered, they cannot exceed ten million at most. There were too many casualties and injuries in the years of war, and they were all adult elite soldiers. Once they died, the entire family would have no pillars.
With this, many people starved to death. If you have a little more, you can use it in the future. Don’t ask for too much. As long as it can reach about 30 million in ten years, Xiao Lin can feel at ease. Then, it is to expand the market by land. There is still a large market on the North American continent. Even if the Indian tribes can be self-sufficient in food, they will not refuse to buy food, rice, oil and salt, or iron pots.
Besides, there are so many professional army soldiers in the company, and now there is no war, so you can't just raise them. Retired Xiao Lin is even more reluctant. They are all strong men between the ages of 20 and 30. They have the ability to fight in battle. It's okay to go back to be a policeman, but it's too wasteful to be a civilian. Without fighting now, there doesn't mean there is no fighting in the future. The company is just a piece of fat meat, a population of one million, and it won't be ranked in the world, so it will definitely provoke greedy people. The army has to continue to expand and be ready to defend the company at any time.
Speaking of the word "company", it's not that no one suggested that Xiao Lin change his name to a kingdom. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to have a pride. However, Xiao Lin felt that it was too early, and it always felt a bit ridiculous. This is also a cognitive problem for Chinese people. The population of China has not been lower than millions. In the 21st century, it is even the largest population in the world, with a population of 1.4 billion, which scares you to death. If the number is too small, they will be embarrassed.
Xiao Lin did not think that the South American continent was also a good choice. The distance was not very far. If you took the land route, you could get there after a short boat. The army could show its power. However, because you subconsciously regarded the South American continent as your target and always wanted to attack in the future, Xiao Lin never considered using his own products to strengthen the power of those who were hostile to the company. Especially the Spaniards, the Portuguese and the Dutch, they all caused chaos in the company and were listed by Xiao Lin as the enemy.
If they knew about this, they would definitely cry without tears. The two governors, after a lot of hardships, set off just after Christmas, and they really encountered various dangers along the way. Wild wolves, tigers, boars, robbers, poachers, and Indian scalp tribes, had they not had three hundred elite guards, they would have died halfway. When they set off, they were still full of energy and majestic. By the time they were about to approach the company's territory, they were almost like beggars.
