271. Chapter 271: The Teutonic Americas Project

"I'm more concerned about what you just said to him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" On the other side, Elise said, "It doesn't seem to be a feeling. It is the words that come out after careful consideration. ”

"Yes, it does. William nodded: "In the New World, the Britsons are only a minority. And the goths are the majority. ”

"Yes, at least in the Breton colony. But what's the use of that?" said Elise, "just like you said before. Despite the large number of Goths, this was a Breton colony. All the benefits are Britonian. ”

"It was so before I came here, but after that, it's not the same - the Goths make up three-quarters of the human world. So, we have a reason to build a new world order. And in this world order, the Goths occupy at least three-quarters of the land and resources. And the layout of this order, I have done a lot in the Old Continent. Now it's the turn of the New World. William said confidently:

"I call this the Teutonic Americas Project. The aim was to build a new empire and a new order that belonged to the Goths. ”

"Just with the 10,000 soldiers of the White Legion?" Charlumi looked at William with some disbelief: "The enemy you have to face is at least 100,000, and it is likely to reach 200,000. They are not a weak brigade like the Slavites, nor are they primitive and backward cold-armed armies like the Centaurs. ”

"No, no, no. William shook his fingers: "I don't just rely on 10,000 white troops. And the Goths of the New World. of the New World, one and a half million Goths. ”

"Yes. Although William's words seemed to be very beautiful, Charlumi was still not optimistic about his plan: "Then go and tell your 1.5 million goths about your plan." They were gathering in the fortress in front of them, and they were stubbornly resisting. ”

Yes, as William's party moved further and further. The sound of battle is also becoming more and more concentrated. In the north, only in the north there is still the sound of battle. Fighting elsewhere has subsided. This meant that the remnants of Savannah's defeated army had gathered in the northern part of the city.

And after moving forward and arriving at the battle site, William finally understood why they chose the northern part of the city as their stronghold.

There are two sturdy stone buildings - one of which is the Doge's Palace. Successive colonial governors did not feel much security. When the colonies were first developed, the governors built their official residence into a fortified fortress.

The history of the Thirteen State Colonies is not very long, so the fortress is still very new.

In another place, next to the Doge's Palace, was an equally fortified monastery - the faith, which belonged to the Protestants and occupied a large part of the situation in the New World. Whenever the colonists arrived in an area and built a new town, the first thing they started was the church. The Protestant faith united the colonists of different nationalities into a single whole. To a certain extent, the cohesion and xenophobia of the colonies were enhanced.

A "big city" such as Savannah was entitled to a large monastery with a fortress and a church.

This is the base camp of the warriors. It was also one of the last two strongholds of the Continental Army in Savannah, which overthrew tyranny.

"How's it going?" said William, walking towards his army.

After seeing William, several officers who were arguing immediately put down their work, stood up and saluted William: "Your Royal Highness!"

"Hmm. William returned the salute and waited for an answer.

Several officers looked at each other. In the end, it was the highest-ranking one, William's former attendant, and now the oldest commander of the infantry regiment in the White Legion, who replied: "The vast majority of Savannah has been pacified. Now only the monastery and the governor's residence remained untaken - the rebels were heavily stationed here. And with at least twenty artillery pieces. If you force an attack, there is a high chance that you will cause huge casualties. So we're negotiating. ”

"The result. William asked.

"Major Black thinks we should send someone to persuade us to surrender. Lieutenant Colonel Hinton thought we should send someone to contact the artillery. There was a lot of debate about these two proposals. But now...... Now that His Highness is here, everything will be decided by His Highness!"

"Good. William nodded, satisfied. It seems that none of these mid-level officers who have been trained in military schools are stupid. No one thinks that it is necessary to "send someone to attack by force". As for the two proposals they discussed.

"Send someone to persuade you to surrender. William said without hesitation, and after speaking, without waiting for the people to react, he continued: "At the same time, contact the artillery unit - if you can't get in touch for the time being, or if you have other problems, bring me the naval guns!

"Yes, Your Highness!" immediately after this, several of the officers present immediately stood up and saluted, and dispersed in the shortest possible time.

After this, the messenger with the white banner, under the watchful eyes of the officers and William, Elise, and Charlumie, approached the governor's palace and the monastery, respectively. William vaguely heard the rebels at the gate arguing fiercely for a while, and then lowered a rope from the governor's palace and the monastery.

"The rebels are careful. Little John said.

"Or rather, the rebels are timid. "Lieutenant Colonel Hinton, a middle-aged mercenary with a rotten face covered in scars and scars, grinned, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth.

This guy is an old fritter that William fished out of a large mercenary group in Polotsk. It is said that the ancestors were once wide. There's even a baronial title that you can show off to people everywhere. But after it reached him, there was nothing left.

The glory of the ancestors did not have any effect on Lieutenant Colonel Hinton. Half a lifetime of mercenary career has brought him scars, an unruly character, and an overly cold and cruel capable command art.

Because the seniority in the army is very old, plus there are a lot of things experienced. So this guy is in the White Army, and no one looks down on him except William. Anyone dares to provoke. Including John Jr., the commander of the 1st Regiment, who was by default as the deputy commander of the White Legion.

"If you're timid, it's even better. William said calmly: "Their surrender will save us a lot of strength." ”

"But if we attack, then we can ......" Although in front of William, the veteran ruffian did not dare to speak loudly. But he still wanted to try to refute William's words.

"What can we do, Lieutenant Colonel, don't forget, you're no longer a mere mercenary, you're still a retainer of House Hereford. William calmly said to him, "Don't always look at things with the eyes of a mercenary. You should learn to put the interests of your family first. ”

β€œ...... Yes, Your Highness. Although he didn't seem to understand what William said, Lieutenant Colonel Hinton flinched.

It was at this time that the two buildings opposite were in a commotion again. The doors of the monastery opened. Soldiers of the Continental Army, who had been hiding inside, walked out surrounded by a man dressed in officer attire. The officer held his command knife in both hands. The soldiers around him were unarmed and carried white flags.

"They surrendered. That is, before the soldiers of the White Legion wanted to cheer loudly, someone with sharp eyes saw that something seemed to rise on the flagpole of the Doge's Palace. William and the other officers immediately took out their binoculars and looked at itβ€”and they saw the messenger, who they had sent to persuade him to surrender, struggling, not moving, and sticking his tongue out to the elder.

"They hanged our messenger. William looked calmly at Lieutenant Colonel Hinton, who looked eager to take the plunge.

"If the artillery arrives, it's under your command, Lieutenant Colonel. Before dawn, I wanted to see a fortress full of dead people. They better be hung up. Do you understand what I mean?" asked William.

"Guaranteed mission, Your Highness!" the veteran ruffian looked very excited. Every scar on that rotten face trembled with excitement.

"That's good. William nodded, and walked over to the officer who had opened the door and had chosen to surrender.

The man was young, very young, and the young one surprised William a little. And after seeing William and the people beside him, the young man wanted to retreat for the first time. Soon, though, he gritted his teeth and stopped.

"On behalf of the 141st Battalion of the 6th Regiment of the 4th Army of the Continental Army, I surrender to you...... I want to know who defeated my army. ”

"In front of you is His Royal Highness William von Hereford, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Russia and heir to the Hereford family!" Immediately, the officer beside William answered his question.

William...... Prince?" the young man gritted his teeth, bent over, and handed his command knife with both hands, "I hope you will treat your captives well, Your Highness the Prince. At the same time, I want to be treated like I am. ”

"You're going to get those things. Although, in reality, your army is just a rabble of rebels, and you are just an ordinary civilian who has just changed into a military uniform. William replied calmly. After saying that, he looked back at the governor's palace. The rebels there did not make any action after killing his messenger. It's like dead.

"Some people aren't as lucky as you, though. William said to the fortress.

After hearing this insulting remark, the other party seemed to be very unconvinced. But he still didn't say anything. Just lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and looked very aware of current affairs.

"Take this gentleman down to rest. William had no interest in him, nor did he mean to embarrass him, and after waving his hand, he had him taken down......
