347 The British are coming

The Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, the suburbs of Amsterdam have been besieged by more than 100,000 troops at this time, although the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands has not been able to gather effective resistance after the defeat in the offensive and defensive battle of Breda, but Amsterdam is the capital of the Dutch after all, as an independent country, there are still many brave men in the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands.

The city of Amsterdam today is home to hundreds of thousands of armed militiamen, whom Lin prefers to call a mob, and more than half of these hundreds of thousands of people have never even been killed, and the ingredients are chaotic.

The routs who retreated from the front and did not escape, the small number of German mercenaries who failed to catch up with the late offensive and defensive battle of Breda, the militia units of the citizens of Amsterdam were mobilized as best they could in other local towns under the urgent orders of the Chief Consul of the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands.

After Lin Haoda rejected the other party's proposal to surrender conditionally, the Dutch were desperately arming civilians, the arsenal worked overtime to build weapons, the handicraft workshop blacksmith shop continued to ship out cold weapons such as spears with a short manufacturing time, and the arsenal of the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands was completely divided, and more than ninety percent of the ordinary civilians left in the city of Amsterdam, more than ninety percent of the young men were armed with all kinds of weapons.

This is the main resistance force in the city of Amsterdam, and the real fighting force is a small number of foreign mercenaries and elite guards guarding the capital.

If you don't count the fearsome routs, the city of Amsterdam would not even have 10,000 men from the regular army......

It can be said that this battle is crushed without suspense in the eyes of the anti-French alliance or Lin Haoda, only the Dutch magnates who are reluctant or unable to escape, as well as low-level civilians who have no military common sense, still vainly try to block this torrent with courage and blood.

After all, no one wants to be ruled by a tyrant who forcibly pulls young people as cannon fodder anytime and anywhere!

The city of Amsterdam was able to gather so many people to resist, and Lin Haoda contributed to the large-scale drive of Belgian young men to be cannon fodder in the offensive and defensive battles of Breda.

There are pros and cons to everything, and the consumption of Belgian youth and strength allowed Lin Haoda to break through the mercenary corps that stayed behind the fortifications and had a much higher strength than his own elite main force in the Netherlands and the private support of the anti-French alliance, but this kind of brutal behavior also made Lin Haoda completely lose the hearts of the people in the Netherlands, and the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands will not let go of this opportunity to publicize.

In fact, when Lin Haoda subsequently marched into the Netherlands, he also found the inappropriateness of his previous approach, those local spontaneous militia guerrillas, although they could not change the overall situation, but they were very annoying, even if the combat effectiveness of these farmers who had just picked up weapons was scum, and ten people were exchanged for the life of a soldier of Lin Haoda, Lin Haoda also felt that he was losing money......

Fortunately, now the anti-French alliance is busy with its own affairs and has not accumulated the strength to attack Lin Haoda's territory, which is why Lin Haoda did not accept the surrender of the Dutch and had the energy to raze the Netherlands.

"320,000 men, even if some of them are stationed after the purge of the Netherlands, will be enough to deal with a possible counterattack by the anti-French alliance."

Lin Haoda looked at the data in the personal information panel in the army camp, thinking about the next combat goal in his mind.

In fact, the Dutch's surrender conditions were also earned for Lin Haoda, not to mention that the more than 100,000 war reparations could greatly make up for his financial gap of reckless military force, and it was very rare for the Dutch to be willing to be Lin Haoda's servant.

In the upper class of Dutch society, it is also clear that in this war with Lin Haoda, defeat has become a foregone conclusion, but they do not want to follow in the footsteps of the Belgians, and they do not have any self-protection power to be slaughtered by Lin Haoda as a fat sheep, so they will propose conditional surrender, those conditions are more to protect the safety of the private property of Dutch upper-class figures, rather than to hinder Lin Haoda's ruling interests.

It's just that Lin Haoda's next goal is to use the Netherlands as a springboard to go straight to the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, and naturally needs a logistics base that is absolutely in his hands.

If it weren't for this article, Lin Haoda would have been willing to accept the surrender conditions of the Dutch.

Just as Lin Haoda was thinking about the next military action, Qin Xue'er stepped into Lin Haoda's big tent in a little panic.

"Master, the British have landed in Cherbourg, France!"
