It is not difficult to confirm where these restless aborigines came from. Judging from the ornaments on their bodies and the patterns painted on their faces with oil paint, it can be determined that they should belong to the Chula tribe in the southeast of the base.
There is no specific text to test how many years the Chula tribe has lived here, but in the past hundred years, they have been able to fight the Western colonists on a par with the Western colonists in San Diego Bay, and they have not given up their territory. It can also be seen that this indigenous tribe is quite powerful. Resilience is not easy to deal with.
Haihan certainly didn't want to have such an extra opponent out of thin air, but the Chula tribe treated outsiders equally, even if Haihan expressed goodwill, they were unwilling to accept a new invader.
This kind of sporadic attack on Hai Han was not the first time, nor would it be the last time.This is not necessarily an action planned by the natives. They don't have the habit of foresight at all, and they don't think much about the consequences of things. They often do it directly on a whim.
But since this conflict has caused casualties, it is necessary to guard against the other party's retaliatory measures.
The snipers sent by Morgan can relieve temporary dangers, but the purpose of this elite squad is not to act as bodyguards for the logging team, and it is difficult to deploy for a long time according to the logging team's operation arrangement.
Fortunately, the logging team was originally composed of soldiers. As long as they brought enough weapons and increased the number of guards around the working area, they could basically deal with this level of conflict.
When the Chula tribe attacked again the next day, the logging team became more calm. The soldiers quickly took their weapons and shot at the enemies hiding in the mountains and forests.The difference in equipment level between the two sides is too large. As long as the aborigines are exposed, they will be immediately suppressed by firepower and can only run away to save their lives.
"Why don't we organize a targeted operation to teach the Chula tribe a good lesson? Or simply drive them out of this area to prevent future troubles!"
After returning to the base, Wang Anbang put forward his ideas to Morgan.In his view, the current defense measures are just exhausted, and if he wants to solve the problem fundamentally, he can only carry out more severe military strikes against the thorns.
Morgan patiently explained to him: "First, the main opponent of the Chula tribe is the Spaniards, not us. They have more attacks against the Spaniards. If we take action, we are actually helping the Spaniards out of trouble indirectly."
"Second, all our combat materials have to be transported from the north. The quantity is limited and the cost is very high, but the direct benefits of fighting the indigenous tribes are extremely low. This is a very uneconomical business for us."
Wang Anbang suddenly said: "So everything should be prioritized against Spain, and the conflict with the indigenous tribes can be put aside first?"
Morgan said: "During the negotiations that day, the Spanish official said rightly that Spain is a country, and the local indigenous people are just small tribes. You have to remember that the Spanish are what we really need to pay attention to in this region. opponent."
Due to the special environment in North America, Haihan can no longer follow the East Asian model and follow a development route where war and trade complement each other.
The indigenous tribes on the west coast are scattered all over the country, with small populations and low productivity levels, which simply cannot provide the trade volume needed for the development of Haihan.And the only one who is qualified to conduct trade activities with Haihan is the old enemy Spain. At present, it seems that there is no possibility of resolving the old grudge between the two parties.
If Haihan wants to develop in North America, it can no longer follow the past model of gradually penetrating the west coast and establishing influence through trade means.There are no countries such as Ming and Annan for Haihan to poach, so they can only use the simplest and rude colonial methods to expand their influence.
This approach is no different from Spain's development route in the Americas.Spain has been operating in the Americas for hundreds of years and established a large number of colonies. It is one of the most successful colonial countries of this era.But its main trading partner is also not in the Americas, but in distant Europe.
If Haihan wants to catch up from behind, there are two options. One is to follow the example of Spain and slowly manage the colony for a hundred years to gradually expand the territory; the other is to directly grab the resources and wealth from Spain to achieve rapid expansion.
Tom Wang and Morgan are both young and strong, and they don't have so much patience to manage slowly, so they naturally chose the second path.
The two Spanish settlements on the San Diego Bay weren't exactly fat, but Tom Wong and Morgan wanted to squeeze as much oil out of it as possible.Since Spain refuses to voluntarily give up this place, it must try to make it bleed.
Sporadic attacks by the Chula tribe still appeared here and there, but Haihan's main energy was on the Spaniards.
Morgan didn't know whether the Spaniards in San Diego Bay had asked for reinforcements from the south, so he could only keep putting pressure on them through various means.
Cavalry units began to cross the Chicano River frequently and entered the area near Spanish settlements.Although they did not directly attack the farmers in the fields, even if these armed cavalry just walked around, it was enough to make the immigrants very nervous and afraid to go out to work.
The cattle and sheep grazing by the Spaniards also began to become the target of Haihan cavalry.The herdsmen did not dare to resist under the threat of gunpoint, and could only watch helplessly as their cattle and sheep were taken away by the opponent.
The Haihan warships also began to enter and leave the bay frequently, deliberately approaching the Spanish fishing boats so that they could not engage in fishing operations.
Aragones couldn't turn a blind eye to the losses in his jurisdiction, but he didn't dare to take strong resistance measures. He could only comfort the people that reinforcements would arrive soon, and everything would be fine by then.
Of course, under strong external pressure, it is difficult for such rhetoric to gain the trust of the public.Most people believed that sooner or later Haihan would launch an attack on the settlement, and the colonial authorities simply could not come up with any effective solution to this.
It's just that there are currently no ocean-going sailing ships in the San Diego Bay that can go south, otherwise it is very likely that immigrants will flee in batches.
When the patience of both sides was running out, reinforcements from the southern colonies finally arrived.
The voyage from the southern colonies to San Diego Bay is much farther than that of the Haihan Army going south from Jinshan Bay, and the time required for the journey alone is two or three times the difference.
And such a reinforcement deployment operation consumes a huge amount of military expenses and materials. The finances of the two settlements in San Diego Bay must not be able to afford it. They must rely on the special funds allocated by the southern colonial authorities to implement it. The old man has been in pain for a long time.
But because the opponent is Haihan, if he backs down, San Diego Bay will be gone, and the colonial authorities can only bite the bullet.
