Chapter 395: Sending Troops to Pennsylvania (Three Watches!) )

Through a nighttime raid in the early hours of the morning, the American Volunteer Army routed the forces of the Holy Roman Empire and beat them across the border to the Holy Roman Empire.

Because of the loss of a large amount of materials and equipment, the American volunteers no longer have to worry about the other party coming to find trouble in a short period of time.

Seeing that the war was over, d'Artagnan offered his resignation.

He needed to get back to Queen Mary as soon as possible and tell her what he had seen.

For d'Artagnan's departure, Nabas and Juan didn't care.

They gathered their forces and set up camp in an open field on the border between France and the Holy Roman Empire.

With the supplies and equipment of the Holy Roman Empire, the American Volunteers made a huge windfall.

However, for those materials and equipment of the Holy Roman Empire, the American Volunteer Army is a little disdainful.

Fortunately, the merchants in the nearby city of 'Tangde' were very interested in the materials and equipment left behind after the collapse of the Roman Empire.

So, the American Volunteer Army made a deal with these merchants.

They sold all these materials and equipment to those merchants, and made a lot of money.

The people of the Holy Roman Empire didn't care about it.

They lost a lot of supplies and equipment, and they ran back to their homeland almost bare-bottomed.

It can be said that it is a shame to be thrown home.

But in any case, they must now reorganize themselves and continue their offensive against France.

It's just that it will take some time to reorganize.

And the American Volunteers, too, spent a relatively leisurely time during this time.

The Spaniards were being flanked on two fronts, by the Portuguese insurgents and by the French.

Now they are not having a good time at all.

However, the army of the Holy Roman Empire could not break through the border on the eastern side of the 'Tangde', which was very helpless.

Arguably. Now Spain has reached the point of exhaustion.

The Vatican sent emissaries to France in the hope of convincing the French not to continue their attacks on Spain, and made many empty promises.

These promises are not realistic at all, and whoever believes them is an idiot.

For example, Central America was a colony of the Spaniards and the Dutch, and it was given to the French.

The Vatican made such a condition, hoping that the French would agree to it, and then stop attacking Spain.

But they also don't want to think about whether the French in Central America can reach it.

Besides, the Netherlands was now a powerful force on the side of the Protestant coalition. They won't follow your church's instructions at all.

What does it mean that you give the Dutch colonies to the French?

It's not so obvious to sow discord.

Only an idiot can be fooled.

Moreover, the Spanish colony, Zhao Hongyu had clearly proposed, there was what the Song Empire needed.

If the French intervened, it would inevitably offend the mighty Song Empire.

On the American side, the strength of the Song Empire was beyond doubt.

Crossing the Atlantic, going to Central America to receive the Spanish colonies, such a brain-dead thing Mary would not do.

For Marie, the essence of France at this stage is Europe.

As for the colonies. That's something to think about later.

If even if it is not stable at all, and greedily swallow other interests, it will not even be able to protect the interests at this stage.

In the end, the Vatican's conspiracy did not succeed.

But. The unwilling Vatican has been tirelessly visiting the door, asking to see Mary to talk.

But they've been shutting down.

However, the French attack on Spain became more intense.

After the last, the Spaniards decided. Mobilize heavy troops from the colonies of Central America to return home for reinforcements.

And this provides convenience for Zhao Hongyu.

So far, the war has been fought for more than two months.

Although Spain has weakened, the shelf of the former empire remains.

Otherwise. Nor would it withstand the attacks of the French and the Portuguese.

Obviously, if it weren't for the Portuguese uprising, the scorching of the Dutch war, and the French intervening, it would have been a bit difficult to deal with Spain alone.

Ships and troops from the Spanish colonies in Central America have begun to cross the Atlantic, and are expected to land on Spanish soil or attack Portugal in 20 days.

Now, it's up to the Spaniards to support it.

In doing so, Spain's defense power in Central America was empty, and its military strength suddenly became weak.

Fortunately, the Dutch also moved their troops back to the Netherlands and joined the war.

Otherwise, the Dutch would have taken this opportunity to teach the Spaniards a hard lesson in Central America.

The military emptiness of Mesoamerica attracted the attention of the Song Empire.

In the blink of an eye, the first frost of late autumn ended, and winter entered and the first winter snow was ushered in.

A large number of Song Imperial Army troops set out from the city of Manhattan and marched majestically towards Pennsylvania.

For the military operation in the city of Manhattan, the Song Empire could not hide it.

Therefore, it is still known to the British.

The events of last year are still fresh in the memory of the British.

Therefore, they still had lingering palpitations in the face of the aggressive Song Imperial Army.

Pennsylvania was originally a newly established colony, and neither the military, nor the economy, nor the strength of the defense could be compared with Virginia.

Therefore, the governor here understands with his ass that he cannot cope with the army of the Song Empire.

Therefore, he had no choice but to immediately send a letter to the mainland and at the same time deliver a diplomatic note, hoping to delay some time.

Originally, after the Virginia War last year, the British were very wary of the Song Empire.

The British knew that the existence of the Song Empire was fatal to their influence in the American colonies.

No matter which empire it is, it will not let go of the existence of such a colony around it, not to mention that the Song Empire also has a strong military force.

So, just in case, and driven by greed.

The British occupied the land between Virginia and Manhattan in the hope of creating a buffer zone.

Don't you know? This approach made Zhao Hongyu decide to speed up the idea of solving them.

The British colonies, existing in the Americas, did not do the Song Empire any good.

At this time, the British were just a part of many European dicks, and they were far from becoming the 'rich and handsome' of later generations.

Moreover, the existence of the British colonies completely affected the interests of the Song Empire.

This is something that Zhao Hongyu and his subordinates cannot tolerate.

Since Zhao Hongyu came to the United States and China, and had Wang Shan's subordinates, they decided to control the American continent in their own hands.

Because in an era like this, they can do that.

But the existence of the British colony. It's disgusting.

Virginia was not eliminated last year, and that was because Zhao Hongyu had just emerged and did not have much military strength.

Therefore, there can only be a truce with it.

However, after a series of developments after last year's armistice, Zhao Hongyu now has the military strength to completely obliterate Fornia.

However, this is when something more disgusting comes.

The British actually established a second colony, Pennsylvania.

And this colony, closer to the city of Manhattan.

This made Zhao Hongyu really disgusting.

Meantime. According to the intelligence service, in the two British colonies of Virginia and Pennsylvania, there were constantly adventurers who tried to go to the middle of the Americas to investigate.

Looks like. They knew that it was no longer possible to go north, so they set their sights on the middle of the Americas.

The reason is simple, Zhao Hongyu defeated the Iroquois and annexed Quebec.

Arguably. Now all the land north of Manhattan is in his hands.

If the British were still peeking into the north, then the Song Empire would have to be defeated.

But do they have that strength?

Obviously. The British colonies did not have such a force.

That's why they're looking to the middle.

What these explorers didn't know was that there were also 'village chiefs' sent by Zhao Hongyu in the middle of the Americas who were developing and building cities.

The same is true in southwestern Virginia.

Therefore, those explorers, without exception, were devastated.

Despite this, the actions of the British also made Zhao Hongyu no longer able to endure it.

Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kick the British away and drive them away from the American continent.

At the same time, annex the Spanish and Dutch colonies in Central America.

Don't look at the ships coming and going in Manhattan now, they are all merchant ships from Britain, the Netherlands and Spain, but Zhao Hongyu doesn't care about these at all.

Even if they stop trading with themselves, they will take their colonies over them, and this will never change.

Besides, Zhao Hongyu is confident that in two years at most, European countries will still do business with him in the end.

After all, no one is at odds with money.

Spain was doomed to fall apart under the blows of the French and Portuguese rebels, and it was a big deal that it would trade with the French and the Portuguese.

For the sea coachmen, as well as the future empire on which the sun never sets, Zhao Hongyu doesn't want to support them.

Therefore, subconsciously, these two countries have become the targets that Zhao Hongyu hopes to target.

Obviously, the British are smarter, and they are aware of this.

It's just a pity that although they are aware of the threat from the Song Empire, there is nothing they can do about it.

In fact, the pirates gathered and launched an attack on Manhattan, and there was a shadow of the British behind this.

It can be seen that the obscene political style of the British has existed since ancient times.

They knew the power of the Song Empire, so they couldn't beat it themselves.

That's why they resort to this insidious trick behind their backs.

Therefore, the existence of the British colony was not a good thing for the Song Empire.

Such a greedy guy is around, and he has to be disposed of no matter what.

So, at this time of winter, the Manhattan side finally sent troops.

And at this time, the shipyard's heavy battleships also began to be launched for sea trials.

At the same time, the Dutch warships of the cottage were also put into use at the factory.

Everything was going on for the annexation of Central America.

Military operations against the British colonies did not require warships for the time being.

It can be achieved through the army.

The navy has to be saved for the attack on the West Holland colonies in Central America.

"Your Highness, according to our estimates, Pennsylvania will be able to take it in just a week. After all, the British in this colony have only just begun to invest, and all the facilities are not very perfect. On the terrace of the castle, Zhao Hongyu and his subordinates watched the mighty troops walk by.

At this time, Zhang Tie told Zhao Hongyu the prediction of the military department.

In one week, seven days can take Pennsylvania.

Zhao Hongyu knew that this was definitely not bragging.

"Virginia may take a little longer because it's a bit far away. But I promise that before the New Year, we can end this war. ”

Zhang Tie had strong confidence in this war against the British colonies.

Below, 24-pound guns slowly drove by, pulled by the horses.

Wine bottle bombs, flintlock pistols, and 24-pounder guns, Zhao Hongyu's army can be said to be the elite of the elite in this era.

At least, compared to the armies of the Europeans, it is like this.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Song Empire, who were flying flags of eight colors, also walked with their heads held high at this time.

"Do these people have any mood swings about attacking the British colonies? After all, there are a lot of these people, and they are all British. ”

When he saw these soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Song Empire, Zhao Hongyu turned his head sideways and asked.

"Your Highness, their reaction is not very big, and they are still very excited. Because I told them that after contributing to the British colonies for the Imperial War, they could loot for three days. ”

Well, I see.

Zhao Hongyu didn't react to the robbery and slaughter of the city or something.

Anyway, it's all Europeans fighting Europeans, and it's not the Chinese who die.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu didn't feel anything great about Wang Shan's promise to these Eight Banner soldiers.

"Then I'll wait for them to behave well, and if they behave well, maybe I'll take them to the East in the future, and I'll have a lot of fun watching it."

As soon as Zhao Hongyu said this, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie around him laughed evilly.

A few men were whispering here, and the women on the other side were chatting.

"Where is this going?"

Some of the little girls of Samuel's family were left behind to accompany Sara to relieve her boredom.

Today, with such a big battle, they are very curious about it.

"Our army is going to occupy new land today."

Emma said with a relaxed face.

"Who is the enemy?"

"British."

"Why do you want to fight with the British, is it because of the land?"

"We don't need a reason to fight, and of course land is one of the reasons."

Emma was a little unimpressed with the little girls of the Samuel family because they were so thin.

However, one of the little girls seemed to be a little interesting to Wang Shan, and Emma thought it was quite funny. (To be continued.) )
