The matter of sending troops to North America is not very urgent, and Marin also has his own comprehensive considerations. For example, Marin plans to create a big plan this time - provoking the Iroquoi League, the strongest combat power among the North American Indians.
Although this seems like a tragic death, Marin knew that only in this way could Marin's army have a reason to stay in New York for a long time. Otherwise, after fighting the Mohigan Wild Wolf tribe, they would have no reason to continue to dispatch troops.
Moreover, the Mohigans are actually not very strong. Although Malin only sent an army of more than 1,000 people. However, after training in jungle warfare, this army has the strength to eliminate all the Mohigans.
To this end, before the Expeditionary Force set off, Marin found the officer Gulit, who led the troops and asked him to lead the troops to New York, and did not rush to send troops, but first became familiar with the North American jungle. Then, he sent spies to inquire about the distribution of the local tribes. After finding out the situation, he launched an attack.
In order to ensure the jungle combat capability of the Expeditionary Force, Marin prepared to equip all the expeditionary forces with clockwork musketeers, rather than mesh rope guns. This is because the mesh rope of the mesh rope is easily scratched by branches in the jungle. If the fuse is broken, it will be miserable.
Moreover, in the dense forest, the roads are narrow. If the mesh rope gunners are crowded together, their own fuse will easily ignite their companions' gunpowder.
Therefore, Marin spared no expense to equip the Expeditionary Force with a clockwork rifle to facilitate their jungle combat. Anyway, there were only a few hundred musketeers, and even if they were all equipped with clockwork, the cost was not too high.
Marin remembers that the Iroquois seem to live in the northwest of New York. The Mohican tribe who came to New York to rob, lived in the upper reaches of the Hudson River, in the northern part of New York.
Therefore, Marin planned to let Gulite lead his troops to fight a pursuit battle instead of annihilation battle.
The specific method is to break through the villages of the Wild Wolf tribe, but not destroy them, but try to drive them westward and to the territory of the Iroquois. Then, he slowly pursued them, and chased them all the way to the territory of the Iroquois, and by the way, he had some conflicts with the Iroquois and formed enemies.
In fact, Ma Lin learned this move from Chairman Jiang. The bald Jiang asked Xue Yue to lead the army to chase the Red Army all the way. But in fact, he did not try his best to catch up, but deliberately let the Red Army go a long way.
Why? Because the bald Chiang wanted to take the opportunity to annex the warlords in various provinces...
For example, Wang Jialie from Guizhou was annexed by Xue Yue. Lao Wang didn't know the sinister intentions of bald Jiang. After he put Xue Yue's army in, he was directly under the cover.
After seeing Lao Wang's miserable fate, Li and Bai from Guizhou Province and Long Yun from Yunnan Province later worked hard to prevent the Red Army from entering their hinterland because they were afraid of repeating Wang Jialie's mistakes.
In fact, the Long March was just a game of cat and mouse that bald Jiang played. The cat took the opportunity to chase the mouse and ran to other kittens and bullied other kittens... But in the end, bald Jiang did not expect that the Red Army, who was once regarded as a mouse, turned over and fucked him...
Of course, the Mohigan Wild Wolf tribe is not worthy of being compared with the Red Army. Their only function is to escape and then trigger a conflict between Gulit's Expeditionary Force and the Iroquois. When the two conflict, they will no longer have to exist.
The situation was very serious when provoking the Iroquoi League. Because the Iroquoi people were able to dispatch thousands of warriors and looked very powerful.
If it were on the plains, the thousand Gulit's men would be enough to beat the thousands of Iroquois warriors. However, if it was in the dense jungle, it would be hard to say.
Fortunately, Marin equipped the Expeditionary Force with old hunters and Alsace wolfdogs, and would not be hit. However, it seems difficult to pursue quickly. Because, for safety reasons, the Expeditionary Force soldiers were all wearing armor, and at the lowest was also a wooden piece of armor (mahjong mat). In the case of heavy loads, it seems difficult for the Expeditionary Force to catch up with the enemy in the jungle.
But this is not important. Marin did not intend to defeat the Iroquois all at once, but instead looked for excuses for conflict and sending troops.
With further conflict with the Iroquois, Marin had reason to increase his troops and fought fiercely with the Iroquois in the North American jungle.
Marin was not in a hurry to eliminate the Iroquois, but wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of conflict with the Iroquois to train troops on a large scale and allow his soldiers to adapt to jungle warfare.
At the same time, fighting with these Indian natives is not very dangerous, so it is also particularly suitable for training new recruits.
Veterans from hundreds of battles were made, not just through training. Marin had been winning before, relying on advanced equipment, training and combat methods.
However, with several big victories, Marin is sure that both the Spanish phalanx and the medley gun will be promoted in Europe. In the next battle, Marin will not face a backward medieval army, but a musket and an enemy who imitates the Spanish phalanx. Although the opponent may not imitate it properly, it will also cause trouble to Marin's army. Therefore, Marin needs more disciplined and brave veterans. Through the war with the Iroquois, it is also an important means to train the courage and ability of the new recruits. In particular, it makes them feel blood...
As for how to train so many new recruits? Marin decided to imitate the way our army fought against monkeys in South Vietnam in later generations - the rotational war system...
What is rotational warfare? It is a method for major military regions to take turns to send troops to Laoshan Front to engage in small-scale border conflicts with the monkeys in South Vietnam. Through this method, all local troops in the country can be exposed to cruel wars. At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the troops in various places can be compared, and weaknesses can be found and improved.
Of course, Marin's purpose is not this. His purpose is to train new recruits. After several months of queues and tactical training, new recruits cannot immediately enter the decisive battle. Because they have never seen blood, they will fight decisive battles as soon as they come up, which is easy to collapse. Therefore, they must first find a weak opponent, let them see blood, and exercise their courage and courage.

However, the Iroquois are really not weak, and they are considered to be the one with strong combat effectiveness among the indigenous people. Of course, the current Iroquois Alliance is just a loose alliance. It took until the emergence of the wise Haiwarsaw around 1570 that the six clan alliance of Iroquois stabilized and officially formed a formal alliance led by Haiwarsaw. Unlike the current Iroquois, although they also formed an alliance, the six major tribes also had dirty things to each other, and they could only be considered a loose alliance.
But this is also good news for Marin. If the formal Iroquois alliance was established, the Iroquois combat power would be too strong and would not be suitable for training new recruits at all. However, the loose alliances like the Iroquois are now suitable for training new recruits.
Moreover, through the rotational battle with the Iroquois League in the jungle, Marin can also allow the officers below to see the soldiers' qualities when they are about to fight. This will also facilitate Marin to select the most elite soldiers and form elite troops to be used in the main battlefield of Europe.
To put it bluntly, Marin regarded the now loose Iroquoi Alliance as a copy of the recruits leveling. Unfortunately, those Iroquoi were beaten by Marin as monsters who level up for the recruits. Through rotational battles, Marin could also see which soldiers were excellent and which were not qualified through the officers. Excellent soldiers would be incorporated into the main force to strengthen their combat effectiveness; those who were not qualified will be eliminated, or they would be incorporated into local police forces to maintain public order in the local area...
In addition, Marin also has another idea, which is to open up the road to the Great Lakes...
The Iroquois occupy the southeast part of the Great Lakes. As long as they occupy the territory of the Iroquois, it is equivalent to opening up the road to the Great Lakes.
What is the Great Lakes? There are famous iron ore in the northwest region! Maisabi Mountain is located by the lake in eastern Minnesota. The entire mountain is an iron-rich mine with an iron content of more than 60%.
To the south of the Iroquois territory is the Appalachian coal mine area. Therefore, it occupies the Iroquois territory, with iron ore to the west and coal mines to the south, and its geographical location is very important. Otherwise, the northwest of the United States, especially near the Great Lakes, would not have developed into the earliest industrial center in the United States.
