Chapter 289 North Island
In fact, this time, there were only a thousand people from the Maori "army", but they were very smart. The indigenous people who could go from Africa to Australia and then to New Zealand had a very developed adventure gene. They were brave and good at fighting, good at using night attacks and tunnels, hiding in tunnels during the day, and coming out at night to surprise the British army.
Their leader is titokowa, 45 years old. In his prime of mind, he used New Zealand's mountainous shape to block the new arrival of the Royal Navy in a canyon. After three days and three nights of siege, the British army had reached the brink of collapse. No reinforcements appeared, so they had to consider surrendering.
Unlike his subordinates who were excited and in a state of great enthusiasm, Titokowa believed that Europeans' military technology was more advanced and would make a comeback sooner or later. Looking at this second counterattack, you will know how strong the British army's national strength is. The prospects of the Maori tribe are not optimistic, but the situation in front of him no longer allows him to think too much. He must teach the colonists a severe lesson.
The Maori people were not unreasonable, nor were they unwilling to integrate into the modern civilization dominated by Europeans. For example, Titokowa himself had joined the Protestant Methodist Church. He hoped to live in peace with the colonists, but the colonists had severe racism and discrimination. He was the first to attack many Maori villages in the conflict. Titokowa cannot bear it anymore.
Just as Titokowa was discussing with his men when the enemy would surrender, a strange roar came from the blue sky in New Zealand. Titokowa looked at the west sea with everyone, and 15 small black dots flew towards them at a height of 1,000 meters.
Coming from the sea means it may be reinforcements from the Royal Navy, the alert titokowa yelled loudly: "Prepare for battle! Take up the weapon!"
Maori warriors all used the K1 rifle that French traitors sold by French traitors, but they had never had any experience in dealing with air power. No matter how brave the warriors encountered threats from the sky, they felt a sense of terrifying powerlessness. Not to mention anything else, their necks hurt after being tilted for a long time.
The Royal Navy may have the strongest ships besides the Windsor Warlords, but their air combat concept is very conservative, thinking that helicopters mainly have reconnaissance functions, so the combat effectiveness of the British air force is not as good as that of the United States and France.
When the United States, France and Russia jointly built attack helicopters, the United Kingdom was also independently developing helicopters, but the progress was significantly slower than when the three countries joined forces and were threatened by foreign enemies. The United States, France and Russia have officially formed a certain amount of air combat effectiveness. The British Royal Navy has not yet purchased fighter jets on a large scale, so this time the navy came to the expedition to not even have a helicopter, otherwise it would not easily fall into the ambush of the Maori people.
The Windsor warlords have entered the air force era in full swing. Even the navy is mainly naval aviation. A giant wingland effect aircraft named "Pelican" can carry 100 standard helicopters, which is the latest standard for the Windsor Navy. Their fast maneuverability is the world's largest. The Pearl Harbor Naval Base in the center of the Pacific can reach the battlefield within 14 hours for North America, South America, Siberia, Japan, China, Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand.
The Sri Lanka naval base located at the southern end of the Indian subcontinent is the core that controls the surrounding area of the Indian Ocean. India, the Arabian Peninsula, East Africa, Madagascar, and the west coast of Australia are all within its "10-hour protection circle".
Titokowa is a strategist who knows how to advance and retreat. He suspected that these flying objects were not British troops, so he prevented his own people from shooting casually in panic, giving both sides room to maneuver. After reconnaissance, not long after, the naval aviation troops of the Windsor warlords came out in full swing. In addition to leaving 10 helicopters to protect the nest, 90 ah64 and uh64 were formed into a small team every 5, with a total of 18 formations killing the generals in a mighty manner.
All helicopters are equipped with autonomous driving software, which can be switched to automatic formation cruise state when flying in formation, so what Maori sees is a daunting air strike force that is even lined up than migratory birds. This is the Windsor warlords demonstrating to the natives, trying to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting.
Titokowa also has a telegraph machine. He asked his French allies thousands of miles away how to deal with the air force. If the French could deal with them, they would not have to play the "three-legged" between the national defense government, the commune government and the Windsor warlords on their territory. The bad friends of the French advised Maori to be prepared for a protracted war and temporarily avoid the edge of the Windsor warlords' air force.
Titokowa is not stupid. He intuitively felt that it was too difficult to fight with the Air Force. After racking his brains to think, he decided to negotiate with the other party and was willing to make some concessions. There was no way, the enemy was too strong.
Before the Hawaiian naval base set out to rescue the besieged British team, Downing, a unique warlord, invited biologists to discuss which one is beneficial to the ecosystem, whether to help Maori or British colonists.
I don’t know if it was the naturalists who visited New Zealand whether it was a pro-British or what. They believed that the tropical crops brought by tropical people from the South Pacific when they migrated to New Zealand could not grow there, so the Maori changed to eating a "mobi" on the island that could grow up to 3 meters tall, causing the extinction of this strange animal, which in turn led to the extinction of the Haster Eagle, the largest ever eagle that feeds on moa. Therefore, the existence of the indigenous people is not good for the ecosystem.
Now the Maori people have actually got the K1 rifle, which has stronger hunting ability. I am afraid that if they do not take measures, they will intensify the extinction of the island. Therefore, the Windsor Expeditionary Force received an order to first ceremonies and then troops, and first require the indigenous people to accept the ecological protection bill issued by the relevant departments of the Windsor Consortium. If the agreement is not reached, the two sides will fight.
Similarly, even the colonial government has to accept the Ecological Protection Act. It is easy to ask God to send God to God. Since the old men of the Windsor warlords have come, they will act as the task of New Zealand's "peacekeeping force" and both sides have to be controlled, not for any benefit, but for our common home.
When dealing with the British colonial government, you have to pay attention to strategies. If the government does not agree, you cannot force it. The Windsor Consortium will move a large number of immigrants here, which will exceed the original colonists. If another referendum is held, the bill will have to be passed.
Fortunately, this alternative plan was not useful, and the British were actually quite afraid of the Windsor Consortium. Without any resistance, they accepted the proposal of peacekeeping troops to build a military port in New Zealand, as well as the ecological protection bill. The Expeditionary Force first airlifted a large number of supplies to the besieged British troops, and then slowly negotiated with the soldiers with titokowa.
There was more than one Maori tribe, and they also attacked each other, so the Maori tribe often built fortresses and fortress-like homes on the hills, which they called "Pa". In order to find the legendary mobi, the Expeditionary Force also carried the good wishes of biologists, the Windsor Consortium offered rewards to the tribes and colonists for those who found the mobi.
The environment in New Zealand is a bit like that of New Guinea. There are very few predators, no snakes, no wolves, and no species that can hold on to poison. Therefore, many of the birds here have deteriorated their flying ability in a safe environment. Before humans appeared, the moa was the advantageous species here for planting food, and it was also a kind of bird that could not fly.
The overwhelming advantage of the Air Force against the natives who didn't like to fight this battle, but unfortunately, the Expeditionary Force had no chance to fight. After showing off his might, the titokowa milk became obviously weaker, and the plan to "eat raw" Europeans was interrupted, and the mediation of the Windsor Consortium was fully accepted, and the British Royal Marines' siege was resolved.
One of the major geographical advantages of New Zealand's economic development is that it has vast grasslands and is extremely suitable for grazing. After a slight improvement in the automatic lawnmower invented by Downing, it can be an extremely efficient automated feeding machine. In order to protect local wild animals, legislation should be not available, and a more suitable source of food must be found for the indigenous people. Therefore, the subsequent "Smart Ranch" construction team showed the indigenous people a brand new way of livestock.
The smart ranch wrapped the little cows and sheep and fed the grass through the food trough. The lawnmower would automatically travel to the distant grass to collect the forage every day. With rollers and a newly built radio tower dedicated to positioning, the forage was accurately sent into the food trough.
A witty lawnmower can even "remember" the grass-cutting route that has been taken yesterday, and move directly to the front of the route to continue yesterday's unfinished grass-cutting career. Since lawnmowers can operate 24 hours a day and night, their productivity is equivalent to several times the amount of a herdsman. It is really an attractive investment in New Zealand, where human resources are scarce.
Not only the onlookers were stunned, but even the colonists and farmers were ecstatic. The Zurich Bank strongly entered New Zealand's financial industry, especially providing loans to the indigenous people who had little money, guiding them from the original fishing and hunting lifestyle to farming and animal husbandry.
Considering that New Zealand's animal husbandry industry is about to develop rapidly, Tangning has also specially established and developed super agricultural equipment such as automatic milking machines and large machine slaughtering centers. He does not plan to take charge of all the industrial chains himself, but masters these core links.
It is said that milking tastes the best at 2 o'clock in the morning. This...Boss Tang cannot eat it, but since the dairy farmer says that, just that. With a milking machine and connected to the centralized pool through a pipe, the work efficiency of milking workers has increased by hundreds of times, and the cost of eating fresh milk will be unprecedentedly low.
Eating undisinfected milk directly will harm health, while ultra-high temperature disinfection will cause the nutrients to be damaged and the taste is not that good. Therefore, drinking the Down low-temperature disinfectant milk invented by Boss Tang is the best choice. It will heat the milk between 72c and 85c for 15 seconds, killing most harmful bacteria, and retaining the nutrition of raw milk almost perfectly.
Because Down's disinfected milk still has some microorganisms, its shelf life is short, usually within 48 hours. In order to transport the highest quality milk to distant markets, such as Asia with densely populated Asia, the Pelican Earth Effect Transporter can come in handy again. It can deliver fresh milk to China, Japan, and Southeast Asia within 18 hours.
Although the Mongolian grasslands are large, nomadic peoples have lived and reproduced here for too long. In comparison, the population density there has reached the verge of overgrazing, so New Zealand's pastures are very useful. At this time, there were not more than 10,000 European colonists.
If you think the shelf life of fresh milk is too short, you can also learn from the nomadic peoples and make milk into yogurt and cheese. The shelf life is more than ten times that of Down's disinfected milk. Among them, the nutritional preservation of yogurt is second only to fresh milk. If you are still not satisfied, then make it into milk powder.
The milk powder has been commercially produced now, and it was invented by the Russians. However, he invented the low-end method of making cakes first and then grinding them into powder. Boss Tang soon had to develop a spray method, first condensed in vacuo to one-quarter of the original volume, and then sprayed it into a drying room with hot air in a mist. This can efficiently dehydrate and make powder, which is quite magical.
Boss Tang, who is destined to become a dairy tycoon, established a company specializing in New Zealand's livestock industry in Auckland. Because Auckland is located in the North Island and the South Island of New Zealand, it is named "North Island Company". In addition to dairy, North Island will also participate in the meat products industry and may become the first factory in history to have humanitarian slaughtering.
To achieve humane slaughter, the livestock must be painless before being bleeding. Boss Tang’s design plan is to use high-voltage electrical clips to allow the current to pass through the livestock’s brain for a period of time, which can make them lose pain forever. Both the power-on time and position here require experiments, for example: the power-on position of the sheep is preferably between the eyes and the ears, while the power-on position of the pig is located below the ears.
From then on, there was no sound of pig-killing on the beautiful and quiet North Island of New Zealand. Beidao Company is a company with a similar style to Boss Tang, which also focuses on centralizing the processing of metabolic products in the animal husbandry industry.
Generally speaking, it will build the world's largest compost site, turn black residues that have been dried heat treated (like kitchen waste) into organic fertilizer, and then nourish the fertile wilderness of sustainable grazing grass.
In Boss Tang’s human health plan, the first choice for humans to eat fish is to eat fish, which he does himself. Because the fat of fish is mainly unsaturated fat, it will not precipitate in blood vessels and cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Secondly, beef and mutton, whose red represents that it is rich in iron, and they are ruminants, cleaner and less parasites.
Europe and the United States divide the flavors of steak into three types: one mature, five mature and full-ripe. They are rare, medium and welldone. Among them, the first mature is the temperature is only 50 degrees, which can just cause the most easily degenerative myosin wrapped in the center among the three major components of muscle, and the taste is close to the state of raw meat.
The internal temperature reaches 60 degrees. At this time, myosin is further denaturated, and the collagen in the outermost connective tissue of the three major components also denaturally contracts. At this time, the beef will be slightly harder, elastic and chewy than when it is ripe. The gravy begins to seep out, but there is still a lot of gravy inside, so it will taste juicy.
When the internal temperature is 75 degrees, it is welldone. Myosin and collagen are further degenerated, and the beef will become very hard. Due to the large loss of gravy, it will feel dry when it tastes.
At over 80 degrees, the last ingredient actin begins to degenerate, which is "overheating and excessively strong". Only steak will be classified by gourmets, while pork chops cannot be done, because pigs are omnivorous animals with low life and easy to feed. They eat everything and do not pay attention to hygiene. They are prone to illness and are easily infected with parasites. If you have a "mature and five mature" you will die.
The ban on pork in some religions may be related to the fact that their prophets discovered that the disease always spreads from pig farms first. Of course, this is just a guess. In short, pork is the meat that Boss Tang believes that humans should eventually reduce their consumption. To achieve this ideal, of course, it is necessary to have a highly developed animal husbandry industry. Otherwise, beef is several times more expensive than pork. How can ordinary people afford it?
The development of high-speed transportation of Pelican aircraft is a good opportunity to give Asia, which has a very large population density, a chance to eat fresh beef with good quality and affordable prices. Even Boss Tang asked the project team to study and set up a slaughter center directly on the Pelican aircraft, and slaughter it. When the plane arrived at the airport, it happened to cut the fresh meat products and was perfectly launched. If this project was successful, it would definitely be a killer weapon for Beidao Company.
