Chapter 324: Strategic Stalemate

After the main battle between the Han Empire and the English Empire in Louisiana, the defeated British were unable to launch an offensive in North America within a year, and the Han Guard, which had more than half of the dead and wounded, was unable to launch an attack on the British colonies in North America......

It can be said that this is a confrontation between the elite troops of the two sides, Zhao Dutian has long expected it, and the British are shocked by the real strength exposed by the Han Empire!

Groups of British elite troops, which had high hopes, survived in name only after the battle, less than 100 Scottish Highland infantry fled back, and the Hessian mercenary regiment German Fusiliers only had more than 1,000 people left......

As for the local Red Shirts, which were the main force of the elite, they suffered the greatest losses, except for the guards around the British generals, almost all of them died in Louisiana or became Zhao Dutian's 'trophies'!

The one-time loss of tens of thousands of European regular troops, in the European war, for the Kingdom of Austria, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Kingdom of France, it happened not once or twice, and Frederick the Great's Kingdom of Prussia lost a total of 180,000 troops!

And this is just the killed, not counting the captured and missing soldiers!

Frederick the Great, who had fought in the Great War in Europe, was hunched on his back, his face was wrinkled, he was emaciated, his teeth were gone, his hair was half a hundred, and he suffered from stomach pain, diarrhea, and hemorrhoids. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He even thinks that the most suitable place for him today is a nursing home for disabled soldiers.

However, the above-mentioned countries are all European continental powers, focusing on the development of the army, which of the European powers did not mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers during the war?

And the British, as a sea power country, only have about 50,000 standing red shirts on their own, and more than half of them are thrown in at once......

Although Britain still had vast colonies, the wealth accumulated through trade could recruit mercenaries, and there were a large number of servant armies and militias, the real elite could be said to have been drained by this war......

Don't forget, the British have a big spread in this world, and some places need garrisons!

It is simply impossible to be like the Kingdom of Austria and the Kingdom of Prussia, a European power that has not many colonies except for its own territory, and all its forces can be pushed together!

Moreover, with this big war, the mercenary groups were almost eliminated, and how many civilians in Europe were willing to work for the British for money, and they had to put a big question mark!

It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to regard this battle as a turning point in the strength of both sides!

At least, that's what the British government thinks, in their eyes, the natives of the Han Kingdom, who should have been crushed to death, are now capable of forming a confrontation posture with themselves!

Yes, just a confrontation, the British have the ability and confidence to make the current Han Empire unable to knock out its teeth when attacking the North American colonies!

Unless Zhao Dutian conjures up an additional elite guard as large as before the battle!

However, if Zhao Dutian really had the elite of more than 100,000 guards, he should have made a move against the North American colonies a long time ago......

You must know that even the current Kingdom of Prussia can't get the elite of more than 100,000 Han Guards!

The damage of the Great War in Europe was fatal to Prussia!

Before the war, the army of the Prussian Kingdom was full of highly trained elites, but after the war, although the Kingdom of Prussia still had more than 100,000 troops on paper, it was filled with a large number of middle-aged and elderly men and children!

However, no matter how miserable Prussia is, people now have Russian allies, and the crisis of geographical disadvantage has been lifted, and they can farm and lick their wounds with peace of mind!

It's okay to use a knife and fork with the Russian bear against the weak scum Poles!

It's a pity that the Austrian queen became a stumbling block to the expansion between Frederick the Great of Prussia and Queen Catherine of Russia, and the Austrian queen, whose brain was burned by hatred, did not do a thankless military campaign to prevent Prussia from carving up Poland with the Russian Empire!

However, the Kingdom of Austria is also strong enough to be big enough, and there is a head of the head of the Holy Roman Empire who is enough to bluff people, so to speak, after the European War, the top five in the European continent, the Kingdom of Austria is definitely in front of Prussia!

This ranking is not just a military comparison, but a ranking of comprehensive national strength, and it is also comprehensive national strength that modern wars have been fought in!

Just like the current Han Empire and the Anti-Han Alliance, the Han Empire, which has achieved an epic victory, is simply unable to continue to expand its achievements due to the huge gap between the National Empire and the Anti-Han Alliance!

If the British won this battle, even if it was a pyrrhic victory, they could mobilize enough troops from the colonies and Europe to completely destroy the core industrial areas of the Han Empire!

The Han Empire won, unable to attack the British colonies in North America, but the British won, but the Han Empire can collapse, which is the key factor of comprehensive national strength!

Therefore, in modern and even modern wars, a few military victories often cannot reverse the gap in national strength!

Napoleon's rise is not only due to his genius command art, France's heritage as a European power gave Napoleon enough stage to perform, so that he has achieved so much!

Even so, it is difficult for France alone to control the whole of Europe, and if it encounters a large-scale fiasco, it will be beaten back to the prototype!

Look at the speed at which Napoleon's empire collapsed, but it was much faster than the time it took Napoleon to build his empire......

That's why the foundation is not strong!

As soon as Napoleon was defeated in Russia, he immediately became the target of public criticism, and the little brothers, who had once submitted to France's vassal states and military allies, jumped out one after another to tear off a piece of meat from the original boss!

Those occupied areas that were not French mainland set off wave after wave of independence, completely dismantling Napoleon's rule!

The higher you stand, the harder you fall, the man who stood at the top of Europe before just fell on his heel in Russia and couldn't get up again......

The victory of the North American War is a great victory of decisive significance for the Han Empire, without the victory of the North American War, the Han Empire, a dictatorial empire that has not been established for a long time, I am afraid that it will quickly collapse!

And Zhao Dutian is likely to become the first immortal rare species to be sliced and studied!

Fortunately, the Han Empire won, unlike the war of attrition in South America, North America directly held a large-scale battle against the elite with the main force, which started and ended faster, so the North American battlefield also entered the next stage of relatively peaceful confrontation!

Zhao Dutian's first task was to deal with the problem of excessive losses after the war......
