Chapter 577 (1/2)

Henry Clinton left with a smile on his face.

Although the chief of this powerful tribe has not been successfully persuaded to stand on their side, the Cherokee also promised not to stand on the side of the Americans.

It's no different from the Iroquois being neutral.

Major General Henry Clinton never thought that a strong British Empire would be unable to defeat a group of local militia. The reason why those damned rebels have been able to stand up to the British Empire's army to this extent is that they have been helped by the local aborigines and rely on guerrilla warfare to resist the powerful British army.

Now, all the aboriginal tribes near the east coast have been conquered by the Cherokees. As long as the Cherokees explicitly promise to remain neutral, the aborigines will not help the Americans, and the Americans will lose the foundation of guerrilla warfare.

The rebels who could not fight guerrilla warfare could not be compared with the regular forces of the British Empire.

That's what major general Henry Clinton thinks.

The most important thing is that the astonishing chief is willing to sell weapons, which is undoubtedly a great thing for the British Empire!

Now the whole thirteen colonies of North America are in rebellion, and the military factories that used to produce weapons are now unable to produce weapons and ammunition normally. Therefore, the weapons used by the soldiers of the British Empire had to be transported from the British mainland by ships.

This undoubtedly increases a lot of costs, but also has a lot of risks. After all, the Atlantic Ocean is not for fun. Every year, ships sink in the Atlantic Ocean.

If we can find a stable arms and ammunition supplier in the new world, it will undoubtedly ease the pressure of local arms manufacturing and transportation.

In particular, the weapons used by the bear army are said to be quite powerful.

Take the Ferguson rifle that soldiers in the new world are equipped with. Its effective range is 200 yards, which is not comparable to the old brown Beth rifle. Major Patrick Ferguson and major general Clinton, who invented the Ferguson rifle, have also seen it.

The major Ferguson made it clear that this Ferguson rifle was actually developed under the guidance of the magical chief Cherokee. In addition to the Ferguson rifle, another rifle with longer effective range and faster loading speed, the explosive bear rifle, was also developed.

Even major Ferguson said that the Ferguson rifles equipped by the British army can not be compared with the explosive bear rifles.

It's just that the explosive bear rifle has never been exiled. I've only heard of this famous rifle outside, but no one has ever got it.

”If the chief could provide some bear rifles, the war would be much easier.” This is also major general Clinton's idea.

”Well, it would be better if the chief could provide more ammunition for the barrel.” Major general Clinton had some greedy thoughts.
