Chaulyn was not afraid of clash with the French, on the contrary, he paid attention to the tigers and wolves. The "tiger" that drives the tiger refers to the French. The British had experienced wars with the company, as well as two wars with the French, and their potential had basically been exhausted. According to the company's spy report, the current British North American colonies are extremely unstable inside, and the huge deficit caused by several wars was borne by the aristocracy, and the vast majority was borne by the commoners.

Heavy taxes make an adult man tired of a year of hard work, and he can't support a family of three. Inside the colony, there are already signs of starvation. On the contrary, because of the extreme insecurity of the aristocracy, in order to recruit more private troops, the conditions they offered were very tempting. Not only is the salary more, but the onerous taxes at home can also be exempted a lot. At present, the British North American colonies were completely militaristic.

When the British mainland sent reinforcements, this phenomenon was much more serious. If you want to change this situation, it will cost a lot of money, and it will take a long time. Therefore, the power of the British on the North American continent was no longer a cause for concern. Only the French, the French North American colonies were still very healthy. Even if they fought with the British twice, they did not have too bad an impact on the economic development of the colonies. Although the British invaded their colony for the first time, because the company came out and Charlie withdrew his troops, the impact was good.

In World War II, it was they who invaded the British North American colonies. Although the company lost a lot of people because of the company's support for the advanced muskets and artillery of the British, at least they grabbed a lot of property, and only the house and land were not taken by them. Therefore, the British are weak wolves, the French are now powerful tigers, and the Yanhuang Trading Company is a hunter who has only just come out of school. A hunter can't beat a tiger alone, but if there's a wolf next to him, that's not necessarily the case.

As long as you unite with the wolf to kill the tiger, and at the same time weaken the wolf's power even more in the process, you can still use the wolf as a trophy soon after the battle is over. Therefore, Shoren ordered Apache, James, and Babu to draw troops with great fanfare and form a confrontation with the French on the front line. At the same time, the fighters of the garrison division were mobilized. In this way, it is natural that you can't hide it from others. Especially Count Linman and others, who had long had this idea.

The reason why the three towns close to the French territory were sold to the company was not only to exchange these completely useless things for the weapons they needed, but also to hope that the company would be able to contradict the French. It was not easy to defeat the French by relying on the strength of the British alone, even if they spent more money on the company's muskets and artillery. The trio could foresee that even if they finally defeated the French with the help of the local coalition forces, their strength would fall to an all-time low.

They would not be naïve enough to think that the British and the Yanhuang Trading Company would become friendly brothers just by relying on these few arms trades. If it weren't for the French's aggressiveness and appearance of wanting to eat the British and the company together, the company probably wouldn't have sold Hall M1819 and Heavy Punch to the British. Although Lin Man and the three of them didn't know what it meant to be "cranes and mussels competing for fishermen's profits", they still knew the same meaning.

As soon as they received the news, Lin Man and the three activated the spies who had been hiding in the three towns in advance. They saw that the company's three field brigades, a total of 10,000 people, were in a position and confronted the French nervously. A brigade has a huge trench position, artillery positions, artillery holes, and even barbed wire. Each of the three brigades was divided into three regiments, each stationed in three small positions, each of which assisted in the defense, and if one position was attacked, it would be attacked by the other two positions, and only by using a huge number of troops could three positions be captured at the same time.

However, in terms of the number of heavy weapons in the hands of the three field brigades, this huge amount is at least 15 times that of the more than 3,000 people in a field brigade. Light machine guns and infantry go together, and heavy machine guns have their own positions that have long been set. Assault Type 1 60mm mortars and Assault II 82mm mortars were distributed under their respective companies to deal with the enemy's forward artillery. If the machine guns are too busy, they are also responsible for attacking the infantry.

Now the company has completely eliminated the heavy series of artillery, and the artillery battalions of the three field brigades now have only twenty 122mm and ten 152mm heavy howitzers. However, Xiao Lin has already begun to make overall planning, and the company began to produce the 21 Mountain Gun and the Flash Snake 1 rapid-fire gun, and once one was produced, Xiao Lin transferred one and then transported it separately and fairly to the three brigades. It seems that at the time of the official war with the French, there could be about five of each.

And the French on the other side, seeing this battle, were also a little weak-hearted. Although they had not personally tried the power of machine guns, mortars, and heavy artillery, if they had not collected this information, France would not have become a European power. The information they collected was naturally inaccurate, and it was a bit exaggerated, but the description of its power was even more terrifying, as if it was a heavenly thunder divine punishment. So, the French really mobilized 25,000 soldiers to come here one after another.

This was already the largest number of soldiers that the French could come up with, and there were less than 8,500 men in one place. It seems to be more than 3,000 people in the company, but it has no advantage at all in terms of weapons. The only thing that still has some power is the revolver that Xiao Lin sold them before. Not long ago, this flintlock rifer was finally developed by a newly born genius military engineer in the colony, although the cost was three times that of the company's manufacturing, and the time was about twice as long, but it was finally restored.

The first batch of 1,500 handfuls made by working overtime and exhausting many workers were all put here. Because they were completely unfamiliar with trench warfare, and even had no concept of building trenches, the French were not stupid enough to use tactics that they were not good at to confront the tactics that the company was good at. The French did not build any positions in the wilderness, and all of them retreated into the towns. It seems that it will not be possible to fight in a short time, and so many troops cannot be so idle.

Therefore, the French side organized an army and began to strengthen the fortifications of the town. Because some of them came from the mainland, and some of them knew a little about building forts and fighting fort defenses, they were all under the guise of building towns into permanent forts. On the city walls, there were even a very large number of permanent forts, all of which were piled up with serious stones, and this kind of defensive structure was, to some extent, even stronger than a reinforced concrete building.

If he hadn't had enough 152mm heavy howitzers in his hands, Sholin would have attacked in advance. Now, what he was waiting for was the three Earls of Linman who took the initiative to come to the door. Even if he had made up his mind to unite with the British to drive the French out first, it could not have been brought up by Shaw Lin first. He is not worried, with the current strength of the company, the offense may not work, but the defense is absolutely no problem. With the current white military technology, there is one thing they absolutely can't help it, a permanent machine gun bunker.

Unless a 32-pound cannon can be brought ashore, or a gunpowder bag larger than a man can be blown up, dozens of reinforced concrete machine-gun bunkers can withstand even tens of thousands of troops. Xiao Lin thought that he would have to wait for a long time, and these old foxes, one by one, could be mixed up until now, and they were not fuel-efficient lamps. Only by grinding out their patience will they be able to take the absolute initiative in the next joint combat operations.

Lin Man and the three of them also knew, so they followed Xiao Lin for the same time. However, the French made a wrong move in a panic and helped Chelin a lot. Previously, the company's troops had not entered the war, and only sold the British some muskets and artillery to defeat their long-planned offensive plan. For the strength of the company, they try to overestimate it. Therefore, they do not want to mess with the British and the company at the same time. But now, it seems that the company's participation in the war is inevitable.

If the British and the company attacked at the same time, the French governor was really worried about whether he would be able to hold on. If this place was close to Europe, he wouldn't say anything, and with his own country as a backer, he would dare to provoke anyone. But this is the North American continent, and it is 108,000 miles away from the European mainland. Not to mention that the local area should send reinforcements in time, even if the message was transmitted for several months, and this is not more than a hundred years later, without wireless telegraphy, the information is not smooth at all.

Therefore, someone suggested to the governor that he should strike first and completely cripple the British, and the governor actually agreed. The repaired 30,000 attacking troops immediately rushed out of the border and attacked the British colonies with all their might. At this time, the British aristocratic coalition was already showing signs of collapse. The nobles were busy reaping the fruits of victory, although they had been fully distributed, but under the secret provocation of the French, they all felt that they had taken less, and the people around them had taken more.

Even some smart people can't help but be a little angry. The reason why they did not directly lead the team to fight was because of the 30,000 reorganized troops that the French placed on the border. Even if the overall combat effectiveness is a bit downloaded because it is not the best regular army that is replenished, it is not a reason for them to fight against their own people. Everyone endured their anger, even if they didn't fight each other and fell into stone, it was still very possible to die and not be saved.

Therefore, the French dared to re-attack in advance. In just a week, the French army again pushed ten miles into the British colony. At first, many nobles stood by and watched, but by the time they reacted, they could no longer form a powerful coalition.
