The Rise of Iceland

Vol 2 Chapter 59: 3 feet standing is the balance

     After some persuasion from Pastor McGonagall, Hadar said he was very excited, but did not express his opinion.

   After inviting Pastor McGonagall to have lunch, Hadar took advantage of the lunch break and gathered leaders of Olaf, Yot, Hagrid, Ulav, Kadir, and Hoskard to discuss.

   Knowing that New England will form an alliance with Vinland and expel the French to split New France, Olaf's heart jumped and found this proposal very attractive.

   Hagrid and Kadir all laughed, feeling that they had shown their power, and even the British had come to seek alliances, and they all agreed to the proposal of the New England leader.

   Most of the leaders such as the paddle head and rudder head are not good at political work. The most proficient in matters such as fighting, farming, fishing, etc., so not many people can express their opinions.

   After three or four people agreed, Hadar looked at Heine and asked, "What is your opinion?"

Heine squeezed his chin for a moment, and said, "The English people are never kind and benevolent Badr (God of Light). They are cunning and changeable, insidious and vicious. My manor was robbed by the English. I am very Know the hatefulness of the English!

The Elder Brest of Plymouth I have never heard of his reputation before, so I don’t know if he really wants to unite with us, but we jointly expelled the French with them. For the time being, we will definitely get great gains because of habit and The Hurons traded by the French will turn to trade with us, and we will get more fur resources! "

   "You mean temporarily?" Hudick repeated the scar on the corner of his eye.

"Yes!" Heine nodded and continued, "We have established a friendship with Francis, the second person in New France, and there is no contradiction with the Governor of Champlain. I don't think we need to offend them if they find it in France. With the support of the sponsor or the government, I think we will be very passive in the future. Whether it is dealing with them or getting into war, it will be a loss to us."

   The long scene of Heine's words cooled down, and Hadar looked at Ulav.

Although Ulav is 23 years old, he has only attended a mission school. He followed his uncle for eight years after his youth, so he is not good at brains, but he has heard the opinions of everyone. Some thoughts, he said slowly: "I think Heine is right. Even if we are to join forces with the British, it shouldn’t be now, because we have only unified Vinland this year, and most of our energy should be placed on the development of literature. On the land of Lan, if we have abundant resources and sufficient forage soldiers in a few years, I think it’s no problem to deal with the French or the British.”

   Hadar's own inner thoughts were actually close to those of Ulav, but now he wanted to hear the last person's thoughts, so he looked at Olaf.

Olaf felt everyone’s eyes, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, “I think Big Brother and Heine are right. We don’t need to offend the French for some fur business, not to mention the fact that New France is behind it. A strong France, just for the friendship of Francis, we must also have a good relationship with New France.

   Champlain did not intend to form an alliance with us, which shows that he knows that our strength threatens him. If we are strong and have a deep foundation, we can naturally invade the mainland and occupy New France and even New England.

But our population resources are far from enough. The best choice for us at present is to maintain a three-legged situation, that is, the three forces of Vinland, New France, and New England coexist in North America. After all, there are still many undeveloped places in the New World. , We should guide them to go deep into the mainland instead of fighting each other. "

   Olaf's words made Hadar's attitude firm, and then he got up and took Hagrid and the others to reject McGonagall's request, but it also showed that they only wanted to operate in Vinland and were willing to maintain a friendly relationship with New England.

   McGonagall left Herut with the greeting letter written by Hadar to Elder Brest. He knew that relying on Icelanders would not be possible, and he had to rely on himself to expel Champlain.

   Olaf opened the window and looked at the snow falling in the sky and the wet mud outside, knowing that it hadn’t been long before the snow fell.

   In his vision, McGonagall and his two servants rode on horses and disappeared gradually.

   Olaf just knew that the current leader of New England was a Puritan, and he thought of a certain possibility.

   The story of the Mayflower’s arrival in the New World and the establishment of a colony. Olaf has heard three or four versions in his previous life. McGonagall and Brest are the people who took the Mayflower.

The Thanksgiving Day in later generations originated from the festival created by the people of Brest to commemorate the Indians who reached out to them and helped them through the famine. Although they and their descendants killed the Indians from Not soft, but one yard goes to one yard. When eating turkey, everyone will still think of the kind Indians in their hearts for a second.

Olaf remembered that although New England was initially managed by the Puritans, after Quebec City was occupied by them, the Puritan team gradually split, and then the leadership was diluted by a new group of colonial manor and wealthy people sent by the London company. Status, and then appeared the New England Governor with greater power took over all the rights of the Governor of Plymouth, New England then became a completely aggressive colony.

   Olaf knows very well that the British will establish 16 colonies in North America in more than a hundred years, and then expel the French to establish the United States of America, and eventually become the hegemon of the world, so his heart is actually the most guarded by the British.

Olaf felt that New England would probably be better than a gangster-like governor if it had been led by the Puritans. After all, neither Elder Brest nor Pastor McGonagall reported their ambitions for Vinland and other North American lands. They expelled France. People are not just for fur, but also want to monopolize the vast and primitive missionary area.

   Olaf is not afraid of religious elements who have ideals and want to be saints~www.readwn.com~ What he is most worried about is competitors who are naked for their interests.

   When it was time for dinner, Olaf told his father that he hoped that he would tell Champlain about New England’s meaning and Vinland’s decision after next spring. This might prompt Champlain to fall to Vinland.

Then Olaf reminded Hadar that he must keep in touch with the two colonies and keep abreast of their movements. As long as the Puritan leadership in New England is found to be unstable, he should lend a helping hand to Brest and others. After all, A Puritan-led New England is definitely better than a future governor who will lead criminals, politicians, and careerists.

Olaf once again reiterated his opinion. He believes that Vinland is now unified in the hands of Hadar, with more than 100,000 square kilometers of land and inexhaustible resources, more than 10,000 people and thousands of potential people scattered everywhere. Savage slaves, and rich in land and population resources.

It can be said that the basic board of Herut City has been established. Now there is no need to expand abroad, but to consider digesting Vinland. We must use the population resources in our hands to realize the realization of Vinland as soon as possible, develop Vinland, develop Vinland, and then build Vinland into Grain and grass base, industrial base, shipbuilding base, etc.

It takes time to digest Vinland. During this period of time, it is necessary to have a good relationship with neighbors without interference from external forces. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the balance in North America. New France, New England and Vinland form a triangular relationship. Vinland should have a relationship with Vinland. Mediation between the two sides ensures the stability of the situation, rather than participating in or launching a war.

Hadar, Ulav, Hagrid, and Hudik were all very encouraged. They had never been in power, and they had never seen a model for the development of civilian production. After hearing Olaf’s plan, Hadar made a decision on the spot. Agree, and everyone happily drank two more glasses of wine.
