Chapter 540 (2/2)
Stone bear knows that with the retirement of time, these strongholds will have great changes. By then, it will become one of the best areas for the tribe and Empire.
The Great Lakes region is one of the best regions in America. Stone bear is also confident of building a better area.
When March is approaching, the cold wind from the north is no longer so cold and piercing. The stone bear and their party finally made a hard journey. After more than 800 kilometers, they arrived at the later Susheng Mary, the place where Lake Superior meets Lake Huron.
The division headquarters of the first division of the bear army are stationed here. Kuaima and most of the high-level officers of the first division are concentrated here.
It was also the most prosperous place for the chipewa people before except the royal court. After all, it is from this area that the qipewa people rose. Hundreds of years ago, this place has always been the seat of the qipewa people's court.
Last year, after the blitzkrieg won the king's Court of the qipewa people, the first division had 3000 Pro guards. Under the leadership of Kuaima, they continued to attack eastward along the north and south sides of the great lake, and finally converged from Su Sheng Marie at the east end of the great lake before winter.
Later, in order to prevent the attacks of the Hurons and Iroquois, the first division, together with other stormy bear soldiers who beat down the Chinese of Ottawa and Miami, built the defense line of Su St. Mary, Detroit and Cleveland.
In this long line of defense, which is more than 600 kilometers long, there are 40 regiments of the fierce bear army, with a total of 40000 people stationed here. This line of defense is not only a line of defense, but also a forward base to attack the Hurons and Iroquois next year.
Stone bear and his party finally arrived at the northernmost part of the line of defense.
Here, Lake Superior and Lake Huron are connected by a wide natural waterway. Of course, there is no sushengmali canal built here, and there is no lock for ships to pass through this waterway smoothly between the two great lakes. At this time, the conditions of this natural waterway are still relatively poor.
After all, there is a drop of more than six meters between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. The huge amount of water between the two lakes makes the water flow in this waterway very fast.
But now, the waterway has been blocked by ice, which is more than half a meter thick, and people can freely pass through the ice to and from both sides of the river.
Of course, if you look to the east from the top of the highest hill here, you can also see maniturin Island, the world's largest island in the Lake Huron, more than 100 kilometers away.
After arduous trekking, the stone bear and his party completed the journey of more than 800 kilometers in the coldest season. This is certainly a great feat, but the arrival of the stone bear also brought infinite enthusiasm and confidence to the soldiers of the fierce bear army stationed here.
Of course, along the way, the stone bear also realized the importance of transportation.
Now the construction of cement road from Shangjing to Monongahela has begun in the south, and the road from Shangjing to several other important gathering places has also entered the construction plan. Now, stone bear has a plan to build a Northern Highway
