Chapter 378 (2/2)
Stone Bear looked at Colonel Jones with a smile and said, ”Captain, I think we should clear up the misunderstanding now, so our soldiers should not face off like this any more? It's easy to affect our relationship. ”
The captain nodded in agreement, and the big horn sheep and major Fogg sounded their horns and bugles.
Colonel Jones looked at the aboriginal troops more than 200 meters away, put down their guns, sat down and nodded with satisfaction. Then he tilted his head at the stone bear. The stone bear nodded knowingly at the bighorn sheep. Then he left Huofeng and went to school alone with Jones.
”Dear guardian...”
”Call me big bear. That's what my friends call me.” The stone bear's pure London accent made Colonel Jones nod a little enviously.
”Mr. Big Bear, oh no, big bear, to tell you the truth, the aruyet chief of the Powhatans is now in Jamestown, and with him are the whole court of Powhatans. They came to Jamestown seven or eight days ago and asked me to protect them... ”
”What price?” Stone bear asked simply.
Colonel Jones was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he didn't expect the guardian to be so direct. However, he said happily: ”chief aruyet promised to give Jamestown a large area of land after this crisis.”
After a pause, Colonel Jones said with a wry smile: ”big bear, you should know that although our king demarcated some areas in the new world, you Indians live here. The only places we can control are our colonies and those cities. But every year, a large number of people from China come to the new world. They need more land for farming and breeding. So, we really need that land now... ”
”A large area of land?” The stone bear murmured thoughtfully, then looked up at the Colonel Jones and said, ”Colonel, I don't know how much land the chief of aruyet promised you, but I can tell you that I will definitely take chief of aruyet back when I come here this time. And one thing you should understand is that once I take chief aruyt back, then the Powhatans will become a loose sand. But I can tell you that the reason why I want to take chief aruyet back is not to occupy the territory of the Powhatans. Even if their chief is taken away by me, we will not occupy the territory of the Powhatans... Well, at least half of the land between our tribe and Jamestown will not be occupied by our tribe. Can you understand me, captain
Colonel Jones's eyes lit up.
”Big bear, you mean...”
The stone bear said with a smile: ”yes, it's the same as you think. Originally, the Powhatans are already scattered. If they lose their leader again, I think they will become more vulnerable. And you, my dear Colonel, your soldiers are very elite. And I can also guarantee that the surrounding tribes will not interfere in your actions! ”
”This, this is true?”
”Is it not enough to have my guarantee...”
