18th century total war

Chapter 430
"Pooh!"

Rodriguez spat out a mouthful of phlegm to one side and looked at the Indians who were being killed like a tide and who had not even touched the trench where he was. His face was filled with the pride of a superior man facing a low-class man like a pig. : "Indians are a bunch of trash!"

In the American colonies controlled by the Europa Empire, although there is no law expressly stipulating the status of races, a clear chain of discrimination has already been formed.

Just like the original United States of America, discriminating against black slaves, with naked malice!

For a classy person like Rodriguez who 'has a gun' in his hand, their bullying will only go too far.

Because Rodriguez has 'law enforcement power'.

In this era, there is no concept of soldiers serving the people as their duty. The concept of "military master" has been implemented at all times and in all countries. Even among people of the same race, civilians are unwilling to offend soldiers, let alone the indigenous people...

With the rise of the Europa Empire, the concept of noble military status has been further strengthened, and many military powers have even been written into the law.

For example, the protection of soldiers' wives, the protection of soldiers' children, etc., are even better than the world in Li Wei's previous life.

This is why the Europa Empire did not pay much for the local garrison and militia reserves, but never worried about the source of troops.

Even if the Europa Empire did not adopt the deeply criticized military system, the people maintained a high enthusiasm for joining the army.

At least, there are children in the family who serve as soldiers, so those little nobles and bureaucrats will not ignore and bully them.

For those in power and public officials, black hands against civilians and black hands against military families are completely different concepts!

This is also one of the reasons why criminal soldiers sent to punishment camps like Alexei rarely escape. They don't want their family members to lose their social status as 'military family members'.

The Europa Empire is a country with strong political characteristics, and in this country system, the status of soldiers is second only to bureaucrats and nobles!
It is no exaggeration to say that there is quite a social ethos where everything is inferior and only joining the army is high.

After all, studying to obtain public office and becoming an official are two different concepts. The position of a bureaucrat is a carrot and a pit. Even if a bureaucrat is too old to work and can only retire, he can also train his own children and nephews in advance, and use his own talents. Networking to take over the position.

Why should you be an ordinary civil servant?

It can be said that [-]% of the public officials in the Europa Empire are public officials until their death...

If a grassroots civil servant is promoted to the position of an office director without becoming the son-in-law of a big man, he will be quite good at 'being a man'.

That's right, it's not about excellent ability, the handling of interpersonal relationships, especially the handling of superior relationships, is the key to promotion in government positions.

All the governments in the Europa Empire are in the shape of a pyramid. There are a lot of public officials, but their powers are limited. Those who run errands and work are ordinary public officials. At most, there is a small official like a director leading the team. .

Officials who really have the power to 'approve notes' are rare in number and extremely powerful!

These officials did not pass examinations and ability competitions at all. Behind each of them is a huge network of contacts.

He even came from an aristocratic family!

It's not that Li Wei deliberately favors nobles, and likes to appoint nobles as government officials.

Li Wei opened up the civil service examination system and opened the door to the government to all people. This is already a huge progress in this era!
However, after all, Li Wei is a high-ranking emperor. His eyes cannot see through the operation of every government department. Even Li Wei may not be able to see through the institutions of the Paris city government next to the Palace of Versailles...

Li Wei would not have so much energy to investigate the network of contacts behind bureaucrats at all levels. What Li Wei wanted was officials who could do things.

Whether an official can do things does not depend on his personal ability, but on the office ability of the public officials under him.

Officials sitting in the office, if they need the ability to write a pen, they can just hire a few civilian secretaries.

If you need to go out to communicate, just hire a few public relations secretaries.

All in all, every task can be entrusted to a professional person. As long as this kind of position is a literate person, it is impossible to fail.

Those officials who collapsed were either excessively corrupt or chose wrong political sides. Only a handful of them really stepped down because of their ability to perform tasks.

Since the official position does not value ability, it is natural to compete for background and background!
This is something that can’t be helped. We can’t expect those bureaucrats who hold great power to be selfless and not think about the future of their own family’s children.

The public officials below work ten times and a hundred times harder, but they can't compare to the big shots above with a light word.

Even if the other party is a pig, as long as the background is good enough, he can step on your position...

This is actually the selfish side of human nature, just like most ordinary civilians, who have a business of making money and employing people, the first thing they think of is their family members.

Expecting bureaucrats not to arrange their own people is like letting ordinary people divide their families, which is against human nature and is simply unrealistic.

Even if Li Wei turns most middle and high-level bureaucrats into administrative enlightenment, it is impossible to violate this kind of human nature.

You can't even control the bureaucratic human nature of your own country, let alone the chain of racial discrimination in colonies far away overseas?
Even in the 21st century, which emphasizes equality for everyone, isn't the problem of racial discrimination still unresolved?

Even in Africa, the Rwandan massacre has happened, and this is a modern society that claims to be civilized!
The so-called political correctness is nothing more than superficial correctness. If the deep-seated problems cannot be solved, the problems will always exist.

On the front line of the orcs, a tiger-headed man, 2 meters tall, with a broad machete on his back, glanced coldly at the dozens of trembling Indian tribal war chiefs in front of him.

"Your tribe has survived to this day because of its devotion to the great Beast God.

But your performance today disappointed Beast God very much. "

"My lord, we have worked very hard. The enemy's firepower is too strong, and more than [-]% of the soldiers in the tribe were killed."

The tiger-headed man sneered and retorted: "Sixty percent of the fighters from your tribe who fled back told me that I have worked hard?
As I said before the attack, either step into the enemy's trenches or die there!
Now, I ask you one last time.

Do you want to be our rations, or die on the road of charging for the beast god?
If you choose the former, there is no need for the following tribes to survive. "

On the side, a wolf man with a wolf head and a body covered in black fluff, glanced at the humans in front of him, while urging in a huff: "Boss Tiger, these humans are trash, why don't you let us eat them?"

Gnolls are different from werewolves. They don't have giant wolf companions born from their compatriots like werewolves, so they can't form cavalry, and their size and strength are not as good as werewolves.

Therefore, Jackals are lower than Tiger Heads and Werewolves because of their combat power.

The proud werewolves didn't bother to 'mobilize' the native Indians, so they handed it over to the tiger-headed people.

And the leader of the gnoll clan, who loves to eat humans, followed eagerly, praying in his heart that some human beings who didn't open his eyes would dare to talk back, and then beat him on the spot.

Jackals are not strong in combat, and they correspond to tiger-headed men and serious werewolves, the first-ranked powerful group under green-skinned orcs. If the reference surface is human beings, if a jackal warrior fights two Indian warriors, he will fight with his father. Sons are generally relaxed...

Of course, if humans took up rifles, it would be another concept.

There is only one criterion for the ranking of ethnic groups in the orc tribal alliance - to see whose fist is bigger.

The second is to look at factors such as population size and fecundity.

The beast god mentioned by the tiger head population is actually the belief of the green-skinned orcs, which is also a manifestation of the control of the green-skinned orcs over the orc tribal alliance.

"Master Tiger Head, we will continue to work hard, we will not rush to the front of the enemy's formation, and we will not retreat a single person!"

The leading Indian war chief yelled with grief on his face.

They had no choice. It was better for them and the soldiers to die here than for the entire tribe to be uprooted.

In the face of these orcs, the Indian tribes were even more desperate than the cowboys who faced the wild west of the United States of America.

The fighting power of the orcs is not comparable to that of the cowboys and army of the United States of America.

This also led the Indian tribes conquered by the orcs to go to two extremes—either they were completely destroyed or they were completely surrendered.

As for hiding in the mountains and fighting against the orcs, it was a complete joke.

Among the orcs, there is never a lack of groups who are good at forest warfare. It can even be said that forest warfare is the home field of the orcs!

Facing the powerful orcs, the Indian tribes had no choice at all. They did not want their tribe to perish.

A new offensive battle formation was organized again, and the efficiency was very high. These Indian tribal tactics had been engraved in their bones in the face of the fear of the orcs. Even the kobolds, who were less threatening, made the Indian warriors dare not speak out.

A group of kobolds with dog-headed long knives walked over from their suzerain werewolf swaggeringly, and kept beating the Indian tribe warriors with the back of their knives, 'educating' the Indian tribe warriors like dogs.

The jackal who was following the tiger head boss looked at the Indian tribe warriors who had completed the entire team with regret on his face.

He regretted that this wave of Indians was too well-behaved, not even a stunned young man stood up...

The tiger-headed man squinted at the jackal man whom he looked down upon, and said in a deep voice: "In this wave, you lead your men to follow behind and lay down the first trench. All human captives will be given to you and yours." Clan domination."

The leader of the wolf man looked overjoyed, and hurriedly ran back to gather the wolf man warriors he had brought over.

In the Beast Tribe Alliance, the Jackals had the same fighting power, but they were the most aggressive group to attack humans.

Moreover, the jackals are bloodthirsty and ferocious, they don't care about production, and they are brave and fierce. They are very suitable to show their abilities on the battlefield.

Of course, jackals often appear on the frontline battlefields of the orcs, mainly because jackals are more productive.

Gnolls have the fertility no less than kobolds, a disadvantaged group!

You must know that in the orc tribal alliance, except for the green-skinned orcs who are the boss, they often follow the law that the stronger the individual combat power, the lower the reproductive ability.

Only the wolf man broke this law. As long as there was enough food supply, the reproductive power of the wolf man was no less than that of the green-skinned orc.

The green-skinned orcs are more fertile than humans, and their growth cycle is shorter.

"Everyone, don't take chances. For the sake of our family, let's die here this time."

After the war chief of the Indian tribe returned to his own queue, he conveyed this tragic news to the warriors of his tribe.

They did not dare to test the limits of the orcs. In the eyes of the orcs, the Indians were not species of the same status at all, but a status change between food and cannon fodder.

Indian warriors would rather die on the battlefield than their whole family being eaten.

The dull horn sounded again. The Indian war chiefs took the lead and did not pursue any formation. Many Indian warriors even abandoned their shields.

After all, in the first attack, the shields in their hands did not play a defensive role at all, but instead reduced their charge speed.

The Indian tribal warriors wielding broadswords and spears and a few matchlock guns rushed to the battlefield frantically with red eyes, and they didn't even need the kobolds in the queue to kill and deter them.

Not long after, the crowd of Indian tribal fighters who relied on crowd tactics to charge slammed into the dense firepower net.

The direct bullets sprayed the front and back of rows of Indian tribal fighters into blood mist, and hand grenades were thrown among the crowd of Indian tribal fighters by cheap grenades.

The Army of the Europa Empire is steadily phasing out the grenadiers in the army, replacing them with light mortars and heavy mortars.

In fact, the grenade is an ultra-light mortar, which belongs to the equipment of 'poor countries'.

The same short-range curved fire suppression, light mortars do much better than grenades.

The effective range of the light mortar is longer, and the explosive power of the projected ammunition is greater, which can form a perfect firepower connection with the grenade in the hands of an individual soldier.

As a matter of course, the obsolete grenades fell into the hands of the vassal states and the American colonial troops.

The first-line colonial army in the Mexican Colonial Governor's District has become a key force equipped with grenades, and the grenades that have just been eliminated will be given priority to them.

Just the weapons and equipment eliminated by the Europa Empire made these native Indians bleed like rivers!
The tragic casualties once again stunned the Indian tribal fighters, even including the kobold fighters who were in charge of supervising the battle. As for the Indian war chiefs who took the lead, most of them were wiped out by intensive artillery fire.

Under such fierce firepower, even among the desperate Indian tribal fighters, there were unstoppable deserters.

However, this time, the retreating Indian tribal warriors bumped headlong into the battle formation of hordes of jackals, and were instantly eaten up!
