Chapter 159: The anger of the French
"You fools, you have been deceived for so long, don't you know to test it?
"Don't, sir, it's the blue and white porcelain vase used by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and it's priceless. ”
In the luxurious room full of art, there are bursts of angry scolding. A middle-aged Frenchman, in his mid-forties, dressed in a luxurious earl's costume, kept spitting at the military man in a general's uniform sitting in a chair. One by one, the French generals sat upright, and they didn't dare to say anything when they were scolded. Because, this middle-aged man, is the governor of the French colonies in North America, Carrot de Villepin.
Carrot lifted a porcelain vase and wanted to smash it to vent his emotions, but a butler-like man quickly stopped him. Because he had it in his hand, but the blue and white porcelain vase they bought from the smuggler was said to be the emperor's royal use, and it had always been Carrot's favorite. As soon as the housekeeper reminded him, Carrot hurriedly and gently put down the blue and white porcelain vase, and carefully blew the ash and wiped it gently. Then, he turned around and picked up a glass of water that he had bought from Yan Huang Trading Company.
"Smack!"
A cup of modern crafts worth ten francs was shattered into a dozen pieces, and the six generals in the room did not even dare to tremble. There is no way, this time they are at fault. Adolf's suspicious plan was carried out very successfully. All the French thought that the elite of the British army at the front line had not been reduced, but had increased some regular army and militia cannon fodder units. The French were already hurt by Adolf's primary infantry and artillery tactics, and as soon as Adolf's suspicious plan succeeded, they did not dare to send people out.
On the entire front line of the Anglo-French war, there was a strange two-and-a-half-month quiet. Adolf also organized several feints, but they were all repulsed by the French. The French commanders also thought that their idea of relying on the defense of the city made Adolf's infantry and artillery coordination tactics unrealizable, and they were always complacent. It was not until the company had defeated 40,000 British troops again, and a large number of troops had returned to the rear to kill the stupidity of Sameer and the strength of the company, that the spies of the French got the news.
As soon as the news came back, Carrot's lungs exploded. If we had known this news earlier, and taken advantage of the fact that the new militia had not gained a firm foothold and had not formed sufficient combat effectiveness, they would have directly counterattacked, and they might have won this war. And now, the British front-line soldiers have long built permanent fortifications under the orders of Adolf, and if they want to attack, they can only fight a fortified position. In particular, relying on Adolf's abilities, those militias had already been trained by him to be no worse than the regular British army.
Somehow, before starting a fight with the company, Adolf had a bad premonition. He always felt that this attack would still fail. Just in case, Adolf made two preparations. If Sameer can't lead the 40,000 troops to defeat the company and return to defense, or even cause too much loss to the troops, then he can still strengthen the strength of the front-line troops, and he will not collapse directly in the end. And if Sameer can win back, it will be even better, directly join the current, storm the territory of the French, and strangle the French army.
The French turtle's action strategy of retreating into the city allowed Adolf to complete the strengthening preparations in nearly two months. Although Charlie was angry and failed, Adolf had already vaccinated him, and he was prepared to ensure that the current advantage would not be lost, and he could not do anything to Adolf, on the contrary, he had to continue to rely on Adolf. But in a fit of rage, Carrot called all the front-line generals back and scolded them one by one.
The specific information was slapped on the faces of various generals by Carrot. The French generals, who were still a little inexplicable and angry, turned red all over their faces after reading the intelligence materials, and they were so ashamed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. No matter what Carrot scolded, they didn't dare or were embarrassed to talk back, so they could only endure it for life. Of course, they are not without anger in their hearts. It's just that these gases were put on the British and Adolf by them.
They were angry at their own stupidity, and even more angry at Adolf for playing them like pigs, and everyone made up their minds that they had to show the English good in the ensuing battle. However, this is all their wishful thinking. With their current capabilities, they simply could not inflict much damage on the British.
"Okay, I don't want to talk about you anymore, how to fight next, have you figured it out?"
“......”
"Why, I didn't speak, didn't I look angry just now?
Carrot asked, but the six generals found that if what was said in the newspaper was true, then they really couldn't think of a good battle idea. One by one, he lowered his head again, a clever general, accidentally saw a fragment of a glass in front of his toe, and suddenly, a light bulb was lit, and he thought of an idea, coughed a few times, and prepared to start speaking.
"Your Excellency the Governor, why don't we contact the Yanhuang Trading Company and attack the British together. ”
"Together?"
"Yes, Lord Doge. The Yanhuang Trading Company had also been hostile to the British, and it is said that the British Inspector General Mir was eager to strangle them. Moreover, during this time, we also had a good relationship on both sides. They sold us powerful weapons, and they also wanted us to hold back those Hessian mercenaries, or they would suffer. From these, it can be seen that the hatred between this Yanhuang Trading Company and the British is already irrelievable. ”
After the general finished speaking, Governor Carrot nodded, seemingly agreeing with him. Seeing that the general had stopped, he raised his hand and motioned for him to continue. The general was also very happy to receive the governor's affirmation, and quickly went through his thoughts in his heart, and spoke again.
"And this time, since this Yanhuang Trading Company can defeat 40,000 British troops, its strength is definitely not bad. At the very least, there should be no problem in disrupting the logistical supply lines of the British army. When the British had run out of gunpowder and had no food and no warm clothing, we could easily defeat them, and it would have been easier for us to fight if the British had sent an army against them. ”
"Well, you have a very good idea, Waldecel Monet, you can personally negotiate this matter with the Yanhuang Trading Company, as long as it can be successful, it will be a great achievement for you. ”
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
The tone of the next action was set, and Carrot began to chase people. The six generals walked out, and the other five looked at Wardsel, the youngest brigadier general, with envy and hatred. Unexpectedly, this person from a civilian background could come up with such a good method at this juncture, and they speculated that the chances of completing it were very high. The Carrot family is also very powerful in mainland France, and if Wardsel does a good job this time, Carrot will be indispensable for cultivation, and he will be able to get rid of the rank of brigadier general and officially enter the array of generals.
They didn't know that Wardser was so happy in his heart that he even wanted to go back and hug his nephew Claude Monet and kiss him. Because, this suggestion was proposed to him a long time ago, but at that time, the French still had a little advantage, and coupled with the arrogance of the French, it was naturally gone. Wardsell returned and immediately began to pack up, and called Claude to set off with him.
At this time, Xiao Lin was still in the construction site, directing the workers of the company's newly built glass factory to install equipment. After Xiao Lin solved the problem of the expansion of the brigade-level establishment, he arranged the training tasks and returned to the 21st century to bring over a batch of newly produced machine guns and mortars, so that he finally had time to pay attention to the company's new factory. The equipment has been in the warehouse before, because the site of the factory has just been selected, and the foundation has not been laid, let alone the establishment of the plant.
Therefore, Xiao Lin can only be busy with other things first. However, the Indians and whites of this era, or the Indians and whites of the companies of this era, are really able to endure hardships, and in just half a month, they have set up the plant, and they have not cut corners at all, and they can even resist a five-magnitude earthquake, which is enough for the time being. The equipment can't be piled up in the warehouse all the time, and maintenance is too wasteful, but if you don't maintain it, it won't be long before these equipment will be scrapped.
Xiao Lin first transferred some mature workers and began to prepare for the establishment of a glass factory. Now the company's demand for glass is still very large, and the company's electricity has begun to popularize, and glass is needed to make lampshades. The canning factory has been expanding, and the tin sheet is no longer practical, so it is better to use canned food, and maybe it can raise the price. That is, each new factory building needs glass to make windows, and some of the factories cannot be completely closed, while others cannot be left open all the time. Only glass windows can meet the needs of each plant.
Raw materials, through the previous transaction, have been reserved, enough for these equipment to run at full capacity for half a year. Half a year later, the company can also make another move and get more raw materials. During this time, Xiao Lin planned to let the company lie dormant, unless all the factories were established and production began, otherwise he did not plan to take the initiative to send troops. Wardsel's plan may be difficult, but I don't know if I can get more help from the company.
After more than ten days of sneaking and hiding everywhere, Wardsell also entered the company's territory under the leadership of Claude. They didn't know where the other four company towns were, so they came to Startup. During this time, the town of Initiation also began to be demolished, a bullet and shell assembly workshop, a canning workshop, and a wood processing workshop were to be demolished to other towns, and the town of Initiation will be the political and cultural center of the future company, not the industrial center.
