The Rise of the European Emperor

There are Indians on Newfoundland, and Cape Breton Island has long reported that. When fishing boats from Cape Breton Island went to the Newfoundland fishing grounds in the southeast of Newfoundland Island to fish, they once saw Indian canoes coming out to fish in the southeast corner of Newfoundland Island.

However, because it is a canoe, no matter how big it is, it is not suitable for activities in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore, Indian fishermen can only rely on the coastal waters of Newfoundland to fish and dare not go deep.

The fishing boats on Cape Breton Island, at least dozens of tons, naturally dare to move on the sea. One of the two parties is in the deep-sea area (in fact, it is not a deep-sea area, just a little farther from the coastline), and the other is in the offshore shallow water area, and naturally there is no intersection.

Previously, there were reports of Indian fishermen offshore, seemingly signaling to communicate with fishing boats on Cape Breton Island. However, the fishermen on Cape Breton Island did not dare to approach the coastline for fear of being hurt by the Indians. Besides, they don't understand Indian.

Newfoundland is almost 111,000 square kilometers, almost catching up with England. However, Marin, who is familiar with geography, knows that the temperature on this island is not high. In the northern regions, there is more snowfall. Mainly because the southeast of Newfoundland faces the warm North Atlantic current, but the northern coast is facing the cold Labrador current. It is precisely because of the collision of the warm North Atlantic Current and the cold Labrador Current that the famous Newfoundland fishing grounds appeared.

However, this also leads to the difference in climate between the north and south of Newfoundland. The south coast area, due to the influence of the North Atlantic warm current, is relatively warm, close to the temperate climate (not yet temperate). On the north coast, because of the cold Labrador current, the climate is closer to the frigid zone and there is more snowfall.

Even the climate of the South Shore, because of the cold Labrador current, the temperature is not high. In summer, the average temperature in Newfoundland is only 10 to 15 degrees. And Cape Breton Island not far to the south, because the Labrador cold current is blocked by Newfoundland, the temperature in summer is relatively high, sometimes breaking the high temperature mark of 30 degrees.

So, Cape Breton can do agriculture, but Newfoundland can't. In the later Newfoundland, the main economy is also fishing, logging and mining. At most, you can also engage in animal husbandry or something. After all, reindeer and sheep are not afraid of cold in winter. However, it is still better to raise reindeer. Because reindeer can have an ability in winter, that is, they can pick up snow and eat moss and dry grass on the ground. And sheep, it seems, do not have this ability. Once a snowstorm hits and lasts for a long time, the reindeer can survive, but the sheep can't survive. Unless, herders prepare hay in advance. Otherwise, the sheep would not have the ability to rip through the snow to find food.

Although, Newfoundland is so big that it is almost catching up with England. However, because of its harsh climate, Marin estimates that the island's Indians numbered several thousand at most.

Moreover, Marin does not need to occupy the entire island of Newfoundland immediately, he only needs to occupy the western port of Corner Brook, the nearby limestone mine, and the Bakens lead-zinc mine 60 to 70 kilometers away.

However, although it is only a few dozen kilometers from Corner Brook to Bakens, the terrain is very complicated and requires a lot of mountain roads. Even, it is necessary to cross the Great Lake. Therefore, Marin planned to send a group of mules to go on the mountain road. As for crossing that Grande Lake, it is also easy. Marin plans to build a batch of swaying boats with a load of about ten tons, which are very suitable for sailing in inland areas. Moreover, a load of ten tons can also carry a lot of lead and zinc ore. After all, these days, the amount of lead and zinc is not large. If you mine too much lead and zinc ore, and smelt too much lead and zinc, not necessarily someone will buy it.

...

In order to protect the safety of the lead-zinc mine and the safety of Corner Brook, it is also necessary to send troops to attack those Indian tribes who threaten the security of the base and the security of the transportation line.

So Marin planned to select a thousand warriors and send them to Newfoundland to keep immigrants safe and fight against threatened Indian tribes.

The most powerful Indians are probably their bows and arrows.

Therefore, Marin decided to form a plate infantry to attack the Indian front. Once a group of plate infantry rushes into a group of Indian archers, it is no less than a pack of wolves rushing into a flock of sheep. The rest is just slaughter.

The only problem is the selection of Te Miao's plate armored infantry. You must know that fighting in plate armor for a long time is definitely a test of strength and endurance. So, most people can't do it. Not to mention the plate armor infantry, even those plate armor knights, who also started training from a young age, after more than ten years of practice, they can easily wear plate armor to fight.

Of course, facing the plate infantry of the native Indians, it does not require more than ten years of training. Because the plate armor knights worked for more than ten years, not only to be able to wear plate armor, but mainly to practice various martial arts.

The plate armored infantry against the Indians were different. They did not need any martial arts. As long as they could put on plate armor to charge and persist until the Indians' battle formation was overwhelmed and defeated, that was enough.

Therefore, when choosing plate armor infantry, as long as the strength and endurance are good, this is enough. No need for martial arts or something, just grab whatever you want and smash it into the crowd of Indians.

According to this standard, Marin conducted auditions in the entire army (except for the garrison in the Duchy of Schleswig). After many rounds of selection, in the end, 300 muscle sticks were found, all of them were perverts who could run in plate armor for a long time...

Moreover, Marin was surprised to find that these people are all from mountain people, and they are the most powerful in running...

Think about it, people have been walking on mountain roads since childhood, and it is not difficult to walk dozens of miles. Perhaps, while walking on the mountain road, I was carrying something on my back...

Marathon in later generations, why are Ethiopians so good? This is because Ethiopia is a plateau country. The people over there are used to walking on mountain roads since childhood, and they don’t own a car. They run dozens of miles every day. Can they run a marathon well?

Similarly, the German mountain people of this era are also very agile, walking for dozens of miles without breathing...

In fact, there are many soldiers in Marin's army who walk for dozens of miles without breathing. Because, Marin is mainly to choose mountain people to serve as soldiers.

However, there are not many people who don't breathe while wearing plate armor that weighs dozens of pounds. Marin picks and chooses, and also selects 300 perverts...

However, before he started training those muscle stick mountain people, the special forces captain Cage came to ask for someone...

Cage is also very jealous of these perverts. Before, he was ordered to form special forces. It is a pity that Marin did not cooperate with him to select people in the whole army. Therefore, Cage looked around and found only 20 good seedlings with strong bodies and flexible minds.

But now, at the sight of 300 muscle sticks perverted, Cage's saliva is drooling down...

So he came to pester Marin and asked him to pick another round...

Marin was helpless, and it happened that the special forces were also important, so he let Cage choose. As a result, Cage made a ruthless move and took away the 50 people with the most flexible hands and brains among the 300 muscle sticks. The rest are real muscle sticks with just muscle and strength. Moreover, the number is also very "auspicious" - 250...

Then, Marin released East Frisian No. 1 Muscle Stick King, Kahn, to train the 250 Muscle Sticks. Their weapons are also very uniform - mace...

Watching the 250 muscle sticks vigorously waving the mace, the corners of Marin's mouth twitched...

Then, Marin gave the 250 muscle sticks dedicated to charging the vanguard with a very loud name - "Spike Commando"...

In fact, Marin originally wanted to call the group of muscular sticks "mace commandos." After all, their weapons are mace. However, this sounds a bit two. Then, it was changed to the "Wolf Tooth Commando" which was a little more pleasant to the ears...
