The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 202 Only well-developed land is worth conquering

Therefore, many Indian tribes have already entered into a stable farming mode.

From the perspective of the economy and the number of people to support, the farming model is undoubtedly much more advanced than the nomadic and hunting models.

After all, no matter how cows and sheep can give birth to cubs and produce milk, it is impossible to produce more crops than the cultivated land, not to mention that under the farming mode, people can also use crops to feed more livestock to improve food.

The most important thing is that under the farming mode, the people will inevitably settle, and when they settle, villages and towns will appear. In this way, it becomes very easy for the empire to conquer, whether it is to collect taxes or threaten to raz it.

On the contrary, it is a nomadic mode. Those nomadic tribes can drive their herds around if they cannot be defeated. The nomadic tribes can fill their stomachs with cattle and sheep while running, but if the army pursues them, they will all rely on logistical supplies...

Unless the army is also driving herds of cattle and sheep to catch up!

This is obviously unrealistic, after all, the American Empire is not an empire built by nomadic tribes.

What's more, when nomadic tribes drilled into the Great Plains, the first problem the imperial army faced was how to find their opponents...

In the vast wilderness, without GPS and various advanced technologies, it is really difficult to find a herd.

This is the reason why in the history of the motherland in Yuri's previous life, the farming peoples in the Central Plains were always unable to truly eliminate the northern grassland peoples.

Even if they worked hard to defeat the royal court of the grassland nation and smashed it into a mess, it would be impossible to wipe out all the nomadic tribes.

After a few generations, the newborn population of the grasslands will grow up and become the confidant of the Central Plains Dynasty...

Therefore, the best way for the Central Plains Dynasty is to win over a group of grassland nomads and suppress the hostile grassland nomads.

It's a pity that the lifestyles and national cultures of the farming peoples in the Central Plains and the nomadic peoples in the grasslands are too different, and it is difficult to completely assimilate them. Once the Central Plains dynasty declines, most of the grassland peoples who are attracted will choose to stab in the back, or even Enter the prosperous land of the Central Plains!

Yuri knew the horror of nomadic tribes, so he didn't attack the Louisiana Governor's District, because Yuri knew that even if the British ceded the Louisiana Governor's District to the American Empire, the American Empire would not be able to really control it.

Yuri can imagine with his ass that the British will definitely use various materials to buy the Great Soviet Union, and then use the prairie nation method in the Louisiana Governorate to fight a long-term war against the American Empire.

At that time, Yuri's summoned army will be more powerful, and it will be useless to find the nomadic main force of the Great Soviet Union.

This is a completely different concept from traditional British military combat.

The traditional British army is a professional army and relies heavily on logistical supplies. Once the army is scattered to fight guerrillas, it is equivalent to abolishing the professionalization of the army itself.

No matter how elite troops are, if they are allowed to drill into ravines and jungles for a long time and disperse to fight guerrillas, they will be tortured into a mob, unless they are armed with a certain powerful ideology!
It is a pity that such-and-such ideas and doctrines are not yet popular in this era...

This is why the British army knew how powerful Yuri's summoned legions were, but still did not dare to divide their troops.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also the worry of being ambushed by Napoleon's concentrated local force advantage.

It is difficult for a large group of troops to be ambushed. Even if they enter the encirclement, it is not certain who will hit whom.

However, small groups of troops are easily ambushed, and it is normal to be wiped out when encountering an ambush.

Yuri knew that if he wanted to conquer the Governor General of Louisiana, it would be difficult to use the previous war methods, unless he could really pull up hundreds of thousands of troops and push them all the way.

However, even if the population of the American Empire is squeezed dry, it will not be able to pull out hundreds of thousands of troops.

Pulling out hundreds of thousands of young and strong men and pulling out hundreds of thousands of troops are completely two concepts!

After all, the army needs logistical supplies, and logistical supplies are not created out of thin air, they are all produced by a large amount of labor.

In this era, there is no automated production model, and factories are very dependent on manpower. If young and strong are transferred to the army, the entire country will be overwhelmed by the expanding army!
Therefore, it was unrealistic to attack the Louisiana Governorate with a large army.

Unable to pull out so many troops, if you want to defeat the Great Soviet Union in the Louisiana Governor's District, you can only abolish their force first.

The Great Soviet Union actually had a fatal disadvantage, that is, it relied too much on the British for weapons and equipment.

The Great Soviet Union didn't even enter the farming civilization, so where would it make guns and ammunition?
They can't even make a steel knife themselves!

However, the Great American Plains is so vast, and with the British's pervasive smuggling tradition, it is almost impossible to cut off the supply of weapons and ammunition to the Soviet Union.

Unless the United Kingdom is completely defeated and the Great Soviet Union loses Britain as its financial sponsor.

Without the support of the British, the Great Soviet Union in the Louisiana Governorate was a primitive grassland nomadic tribe. Facing the army armed with guns, it was completely beaten.

Just look at how the once glorious nomadic empire was suppressed after Europe entered the era of queuing and shooting...

Even the cavalry, the king of arms in the era of cold weapons, has degenerated into an auxiliary status in the era of queuing and shooting!

So, the problem turned back again. Before defeating the British, the Louisiana Governor's District is temporarily out of Yuri's hands...

Today, Yuri is most fortunate that most of the American continent has been developed and matured, only the Louisiana Governor's District in North America, the Rocky Mountains further west, and the West Coast have not been developed much.

Mature development means that farming civilization has become the mainstream in most places, with fixed towns and manors. When the army moves past, it only needs to defeat the garrisoned enemy troops to harvest a large number of people and wealth.

Because under the farming civilization, the property of the people and the powerful is fixed, and the powerful can still rely on their floating wealth to escape. If the people leave their land, they will immediately become refugees, and life will become a luxury.

Therefore, every time a piece of land is laid, as long as the invaders do not engage in massacres and force the civilians to have no way out, they can harvest a large number of people and land.

It didn't take long for these newly captured lands to provide a good income for the conquerors.

This is why Yuri ordered the continuous occupation of the territory of the Viceroyalty of New Spain.

Compared with North America, which has a shorter development time, Central America, Mexico, and South America are the real rich lands. Perhaps because of the Spanish massacre and plague, the population there is not too large, and it is incomparable with the European continent.

But the land is definitely a well-developed plantation with a very high output value, and you can get tax immediately after you lay it down.
