When the Blood Wolf led the Shulotel Legion to sneak through the deep forest, he didn't know that in the daytime, the turtledove had approved the 'Flash Butterfly' plan!

What he was doing now was nothing more than an opportunistic act to bite off a piece of flesh from the hands of the whites, far from the height of getting all the British out of the North American continent.

He had also been involved in the discussion of the draft of the 'Butterfly' plan, which was a general battle involving the entire Indian Alliance, which required the mobilization of almost all of the current forces, from Shulotel to Tonateu, and even the Red Cloud Militia in the east.

The scale of this battle will far exceed the resistance wars that all Indians have fought in 300 years.

Neither the Tecumse War nor the Seminole War could compare to the 'Flash Butterfly' program.

It can be said that in the past, White Rock City could still hide its traces by intrigue and the greed of a few capitalists, and once the 'Flash Butterfly' operation began, White Rock City would not be able to hide.

It will be exposed to Washington's eyes like a young beast emerging from the ground, and there is no room for it to hide.

In fact, the development of White Rock City has reached the point where there is nothing to hide!

But fortunately, when the 'Flash Butterfly' plan started, the blood wolf's current actions are still part of the Flash Butterfly plan.

Any strategy, to a large extent, is a choice.

It seems that people are making strategies, but in fact, they are driving people.

During the same period, Britain on the other side of the Atlantic was pushing for an 'offshore balance', Germany was advancing an 'iron policy', France was welcoming Napoleon III, and the United States was carrying out its westward expansion and the Mexican-American War...... Not because of how wise their prime minister or king is, but because there is only one way for them to go!

The river of history seems to be winding and haphazard, but its direction is actually predestined from the time it originated. It just flows in a lower direction.

Whether it was the 'Flashing Butterfly' plan or the blood wolf's opportunistic actions, they all came to the same end, and finally decided to uproot the British Griffin Fortress!

The difference is that the Blood Wolf aims to uproot Griffin Fortress.

Turtledoves start by uprooting Griffin Fortress!

……

Griffin Fortress was the last British stronghold left on the North American continent.

As a fortress building, Griffin Fortress has witnessed the glory of the Dutch and Spanish powers, and with the decline of the sea coachman and the Invincible Armada, the empire on which the sun never sets has become its current master.

The bastion was the pinnacle of defensive warfare until Napoleon's cannon completely swept it into the dustbin of military history.

And even in the middle of the 19th century, when artillery became more and more sharp, the existence of the fortress was still a weapon of defense.

The Griffin Fortress has been renovated over the past two hundred years and has the typical characteristics of a Vauban bast.

The prismatic fortress protruding forward spreads out in all directions, and is connected by sloping walls, and when viewed from the air, it looks like a man-eating flower covered with overlapping petals.

The height of the walls reached 10 meters, and the forts with the forts were higher, about 12 to 13 meters.

The thickness of the city wall is about 5 meters on average, and it has been continuously repaired due to historical reasons, some places are thicker and some places are thinner, but even the weakest points cannot be easily penetrated by ordinary shells.

There are 36 heavy guns on the outer fort and 24 on the inner fort, as well as countless light cannons capable of firing shotguns, chain shells, and solid shells.

The fortress is full of ammunition, and there is a huge storage room underground, which is said to also store black bread from the Dutch period!

There are more than 1,000 permanent troops stationed in the fortress, and if you count the scouts patrolling the field and the merchants who are running around, the fortress can actually mobilize more than 1,500 people.

And the fortress is not isolated.

Around the Griffin Fortress were scattered more than a dozen tribes of Indians who lived by picking up crumbs of bread that the British army had missed. As the only army of the Empire on the American continent, the soldiers of Griffin Fortress are extremely happy.

The salary is high, the supplies are large, and every three years of service, you can apply for a transfer to the defense area, and the officer will be promoted to one level.

Although the fleet from India across the Pacific could only come once a year, each time it would send supplies to everyone's satisfaction. Gold coins with a curry flavor are still gold coins, and the black beauty is sturdy and durable, and she speaks English, which is all good things.

Under normal circumstances, this is a fortress that cannot fall.

……

Fremont, as the plenipotentiary of the Oregon region of the American Federation, has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he still has nothing to do with this Griffinburg.

Just before the last week of the New Year, the two sides had to sign the Oregon Accord.

Bounded by 49 degrees north latitude, all the northern area was given to the British in exchange for the evacuation of Griffinburg with the British, and since then the two countries have been peaceful and friendly from generation to generation.

It's not the kindness of the Americans, but a Griffinburg towering over the Columbia River, and Fremont can't beat it, and it can't get around, there's no way.

At this time, President Polk had declared war on Mexico in the south, and if Fremont could not take California, all his years in the north would be in vain!

His father-in-law, who was Speaker, has now abdicated, but his connections are still wide, and he has received top-secret news from the White House: Major General Stephen Kearney is about to lead his army westward!

Fremont can't wait any longer!

Wait a little longer, Stephen Kearney will be picking peaches soon!

No one knows better than Fremont how powerful this Griffin Fortress really is - he personally bombarded it with 100 cannons for a day and night, and the walls were only peeled off!

On the contrary, his artillery position was bombarded by the other side.

If you can't open this fortress, all of Fremont's plans are in vain.

Fortunately, what you can't get on the battlefield can be obtained at the negotiating table - the exchange of interests, as the world's first and America's largest powers, both sides have enough bargaining chips to exchange.

From South America to Europe, from Africa to India, and even the Philippines, Japan, and the Qing Dynasty, the two sides have many common interests.

……

On January 13, 1846, it was the eve of the British army's intention to evacuate Griffin Fortress.

They felt that the number 13 was unlucky, so they postponed it for another 1 day.

That night, they began to burn the documents and papers in the fortress, destroying all the food and weapons that could not be taken away.

The soldiers drank heartily, and the officers were already drunk.

"Vivaldi!" A drunken officer barged into the ballroom and pulled an equally drunk colleague out of a drunken body and replaced it with himself. With a lake in his mouth, he commanded: "Go to the door and see, those Indian envoys are here again!" ”

Vivaldi wanted to be angry but didn't dare, the official level crushed people to death, not to mention that the other party would replace General Griffin as the head of the Northwest Company after General Griffin returned to China next month to report on his work, and he couldn't afford to offend at all.

He could only vent his anger on the Indian messengers.

So he grabbed a trench coat from the hanger, wrapped himself tightly, and carried a rifle out of the ballroom door.

"Damn the Indians! I'm going to smash your heads like watermelons! ”

They had only signed a peace agreement with White Rock City last week, and apparently, he had forgotten about it.
