Chapter 402 Ultimatum!

phone-reading

He glanced contemptuously at the Indian indigenous warrior holding primitive and backward bows, spears, spears and other weapons. The bearded middle-aged white leader saw that the chief wearing an eagle feather crown had also arrived, so he held his head high and used He said in a proud tone.

"This is the territory of our American Fur Company! We are merciful enough for you to allow you to use furs in exchange for valuable living materials. How dare you savages resist?!"

This team leader has been dealing with Indians in the Missouri forest for decades, and speaks fluent Indian, but the content of his words is not at all friendly, but full of a high-level, aggressive attitude, Said like a charity.

"Now, I'll give you one last chance to take out 500 beaver hides as compensation for your rejection of our American Fur Company's kindness, and I will take out at least 200 beaver hides for material transactions every month!"

The words of the middle-aged white man made all the warriors of the Lakota tribe present grit their teeth, staring at the middle-aged white man with wide eyes.

However, the white leader turned a blind eye to the murderous gaze of the Indian soldiers, and didn't even look at Chief Geronimo's reaction, and continued to speak with his aloof attitude.

"If you agree, then you can continue to live here, and if you choose to refuse, then after today, your tribe will no longer exist in the Missouri forest!"

Faced with this blatant threat, not to mention that all the Indian soldiers present were furious and furious, even Chief Geronimo, who had been stern and expressionless, could not help but flash a trace of anger in his eyes, and a touch of red gradually appeared on his face. It appeared in the eyes and gradually spread.

Since the last time he traded with Chen Mo and exchanged the furs he had accumulated after trading with the American Fur Company for a lot of very useful new materials, Chief Geronimo has been thinking about the fresh things in Chen Mo's hands.

Having kerosene lamps has indeed brought them a lot of convenience. Even on windy and rainy days, they don't have to worry about not being able to illuminate and getting lost in the forest, or they can only sit in the tent as if they were blind, but what? Can't do it either.

A kerosene lamp can illuminate a large space. In the forest, the road can be clearly illuminated. In the tent, the entire tent can be brightened, and there is no need to worry about igniting the tent as easily as a bonfire. , causing danger.

And this kind of kerosene lamp is also very durable. Once filled with kerosene, it can be used for several days. Even if you go out hunting at night, you don't have to worry about going out in the middle.

A bottle of kerosene is enough for a long time, and only five beaver skins are needed, so they can use it freely without hesitation, and they don't have to be reluctant to use it like other expensive consumables they bought before.

As a result, Chief Geronimo was even more satisfied with Chen Mo. He felt that Chen Mo's price was fair, and he did not oppress and exploit them like the American Fur Company.

At the same time, Chief Geronimo is also looking forward to Chen Mo's arrival again, so that he can continue to trade with Chen Mo with the large amount of furs he has just accumulated during this time.

However, before Chen Mo's arrival again, he waited for the acquisition team of the American Fur Company.

With Chen Mo, who has a wide variety of materials, high quality and low prices, and a fair price, Chief Geronimo is naturally unwilling to trade with the vampires of the American Fur Company.

There was no choice before. The American Fur Company monopolized the fur trade in the entire Missouri area. Except for their buying team, no other fur merchants dared to venture into this vast forest to trade with them.

So even if the other party kept the price of fur extremely low, they had to choose to trade with them in exchange for some useful supplies.

However, unlike other tribes, the Lakota tribe does not drink alcohol, so there is no need for consumables such as liquor, but only exchange fur for some blankets, utensils,

Knives and other living materials.

And the hunters of the Lakota tribe are also very powerful in the entire Missouri area. They catch a lot of prey every day. Even if the American Fur Company keeps the price of fur very low, they have already exchanged enough living materials. .

And their tribe doesn't like drinking, smoking and other things like other tribes, and has a continuous demand for consumables such as liquor and tobacco, so in fact, the things that the American Fur Company trades with them are not very necessary for them. In order to limit the strength of the Indians and prevent them from resisting, the American Fur Company will not exchange weapons such as muskets with them.

Therefore, the current Lakota tribe does not really need to trade with the people of the American Fur Company. It was just because of habit and waste utilization. After all, they themselves need to use limited fur, and it is usually necessary to make clothes and tents. They all use large pieces of fur such as bison hides, and small pieces such as beaver hides and mink are not really useful to them.

In the past, there was no Chen Mo, and it was useless for them to keep these furs. They simply exchanged some living materials. Now that Chen Mo and his new useful and cheap items have brought them, they will naturally not continue to trade with the American Fur Company.

It's just that these outrageous guys won't allow them to stop the fur trade even if they don't need it.

Therefore, after the last time I came to buy fur but was rejected, and finally got nothing, the American Fur Company quickly organized a larger team to come to warn and retaliate, and they must let these native Indians know that this territory Who has the final say!

Faced with the warning from the middle-aged leader of the American Fur Company, Chief Geronimo's eyes lit up with raging fire.

If it were other tribes, in this case, they might have succumbed to the more than 30 guns, but here is the Lakota tribe, a well-known and powerful tribe in the entire Missouri area, and their warriors are also dozens of surrounding This tribe, even the bravest and most powerful warriors in the entire Missouri forest, whose faith and pride will not allow them to fear and submit!

If they choose to accept the conditions put forward by the people of the American Fur Company out of fear, then they will live in humiliation forever, and they will not be able to lift their heads in this life. Instead, it is better to fight to the death!

The warriors of the Lakota tribe will only fight to the death, not give in!

In the face of the ultimatum sent by the armed team sent by the American Fur Company, Chief Geronimo took a spear from the hands of the tribesmen beside him, passed the tribal warriors who were confronting the enemy, and came to the front of the team.
