Chapter 1053 Alliance Gathering
The Indian Federation is the highest organization that manages Indian affairs in North America. It has government functions and has the right to formulate laws, taxes, education and other matters in the reserved area. The League meeting is held every year at the Lakota Tribe.
The Lakota tribe is the largest group of Indians, with a population of more than 300,000 and a land area of 27,000 square kilometers, which is comparable to West Virginia, which ranks tenth last in the United States. However, the Lakota reservation is located in Colorado. Canyon area, mountainous canyons, barren land, most places are wilderness.
Billy also told Jiang Hao that the annual alliance meeting is not only a political event, but also a family event. Transformed fighters of all ethnic groups will gather together to participate in the fighter party.
A Jaguar and three brand-new Ford trucks drove quickly on Highway 84. The Jaguar was Jiang Hao's car, and the three brand-new pickups were newly bought by Jiang Hao as official vehicles for wolf warriors.
Little Qian Jianghao doesn't care about the $40,000 to $50,000 pickup truck. The Ford pickup is durable and can send off a generation. After owning the car, it will be more convenient for Jiang Hao to direct Sam and the others to do things.
There were only Jiang Hao and Uncle Billy in the Jaguar, and Billy asked, "Jon, are you ready to say something?"
"Ready, I'm going to talk about economic development and cultural inheritance." Jiang Hao said.
Billy sighed in his heart, his nephew was really different from ordinary Indians. He didn't know why he had such strong ability at such a young age. Could it be the blessing of his ancestors.
"Jon, participating in the alliance meeting is one aspect. You will attend the gathering of the brave in the future. Maybe someone will challenge you. Although it is just a military competition among the tribe, it is related to the dignity and status of the tribe. If you can win, don't lose." Billy said.
"That's for sure. Who wants to lose if they can win." Jiang Hao smiled.
Billy took out a wooden cigarette case from the side. After opening it, there were several cigars inside. He picked up one and handed it to Jiang Hao, "One?"
Jiang Hao took it and lit the cigar. The uncle and nephew puffed up in the car and took a few puffs. How are sales going?"
Tobacco was planted on the farm, and a large amount of tobacco leaves were harvested before winter. The Indians smoked tobacco very early. This is a handmade cigar made by the processing factory with local methods. Jiang Hao has smoked many types of cigars, and feels the taste of the cigars produced by himself. , the top grade does not count, but it can be ranked in the top grade.
Now these cigars, under a brand new name, have begun to be sold in online shopping malls.
"It's okay. We already have a group of regular customers, and the monthly sales are about tens of thousands of dollars. This is our farm's first income." Billy said with a smile.
"It's a good start." Jiang Hao took another sip as he spoke.
Billy looked at Jiang Hao, and suddenly said: "Jon, you are now an adult and the patriarch of the tribe. I think you should find a wife. If you meet a girl you like at this alliance warrior gathering, you can Take it straight away."
"Or if you feel embarrassed, you can tell me that I will propose marriage to their patriarch. As you, I believe they will be very happy." Billy said.
Jiang Hao looked at Billy in surprise, was he being urged to marry, and was there such a tradition here?
"Uncle, I'm only 18 years old." Jiang Hao said.
"Your father and I both got married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, which is not too young." Billy said.
"I still have a lot of things to do, school, tribe, business, singing."
"It doesn't conflict with dating."
The convoy finally came to the Lakota tribal town, which is a small town with more than 100,000 Indians. There are buildings and various shops. It is not much different from ordinary American towns, except that there are obvious Indian paintings outside some buildings. , indicating that this is an Indian city.
When they came to the alliance headquarters, they were greeted by a special person. Billy walked in with Jiang Hao, Sam and others. They met the leader of the Lakota tribe and also the chairman of the alliance, Russell Means. Some wrinkled old man.
"Billy, I saw you again. I heard that your leg is healed. It's a pleasant surprise. Let me see, haha, you can really walk freely. This is really good news."
Chairman Russell gave Billy a warm hug. The two have a good relationship. The age gap between them is not very big. When they were young, they often fought together in alliance activities and cultivated a deep friendship.
The two let go, and Chairman Russell looked at the group of young people behind Billy, and said with a smile: "These are all Quileute fighters, right? Your Quileute tribe has produced many fighters in this generation. They all look very energetic.”
In the end, the old man's eyes fixed on Jiang Hao, and he looked at Jiang Hao carefully for a while with wise eyes, and there was an expression of appreciation in his eyes, "You are Jon, the new generation of wolf king. I see strength, wisdom, bravery, and determination from you. , worthy of being the descendant of Karen Black, the king of wolves."
Jiang Hao immediately saluted the old man. This is a respectable old man and a legendary figure. He is the patriarch of the Lakota tribe and the bear king of the bear tribe. Uncle Billy told him that when he was young, Russell The Chairman is the strongest fighter of their generation.
At the same time, he is also the chairman of the alliance. He has been the chairman of the alliance for more than 20 years and won a lot of benefits for the Indians. If it weren't for him, the life of the Indians would be even worse, so the old man has a high prestige among the tribes.
Chairman Russell patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder and said: "You are now the patriarch of Quilut, a new generation of wolf king, and a member of the alliance. Seeing you, I really feel old. From now on, it will be your young people's world .”
"Many people from other tribes have already come, and someone will lead you to the hotel. There will be a party in the evening, and you will see the patriarchs and warriors of other tribes. The alliance meeting will be officially held tomorrow. Billy said that you have a new proposal. At that time, I can say at the alliance meeting that I would like to see someone use their brains for the development of the tribe."
Jiang Hao could feel that Russell was a very wise old man. After they said goodbye, they settled down in the hotel. In the evening, everyone came to the banquet hall to participate in the banquet. At this time, many people had gathered here.
Billy greeted people from time to time, they were all old friends, and sometimes they would hug and joke a few words. After they parted, Billy would introduce who these people were to Jiang Hao.
"That's the leader of the Sioux, they are powerful eagle warriors."
"This is the chief of the Iroquois, a race of mighty buffalo warriors."
"The Shoshone chiefs, they are deer warriors, the best runners and sentries."
Billy introduced the situation of other tribes to Jiang Hao. There were more than 40 tribes who came to participate, and there were nearly a hundred people in the field. Jiang Hao has the ability of photographic memory, and he will remember all of them once Billy said it.
Jiang Hao found that some patriarchs had only one or two warriors around them, and some came alone. He asked curiously, "Uncle, don't their clan have any warriors?"
Billy took a glance and explained, "In peacetime, some ethnic groups don't have transformed warriors, which is normal. For example, in my generation and your father's generation, there were only three wolf warriors in total."
Speaking of this, Billy paused for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Do you know why I agreed to the Cullen family to live in Forks at the beginning? I just wanted to see if it would have an effect on stimulating the blood of our family. Now it seems that the results are good. You guys There were 11 transformed fighters in one generation."
Jiang Hao's heart moved. Is there a reason for this? Jiang Hao immediately looked at his uncle with admiration. It turns out that there is such a deep consideration in allowing the Cullen family to live next to him. He really can't underestimate anyone.
Only when there are enemies can arouse fighting spirit. Wasn't it because of the stimulation of vampires that he aroused his blood at the beginning? For a moment, Jane's body flashed away in Jiang Hao's mind.
While Jiang Hao was looking at the other people, the others were also observing the new wolf king, the young chief of the Quileut tribe.
