The reason why the British and the French chose two very different paths in the war with the company and other countries was mainly because the two sides had completely different definitions of colonies. The French, like the Dutch, saw the colony as a shopping mall, a port, and so on. The colonies were mainly used for them, but they could hoard supplies and trade with the local natives, reaping huge profits at a low price. And the British don't think so.

The British saw the colony as their own piece of land, a dumping ground for domestic goods. Dumping and trading are not the same thing. It is also because of the existence of many colonies as dumping sites that Britain's domestic industry has always maintained sufficient vitality. After all, no matter how bad the production is, as long as there are enough connections, it can be sold to the colonies. With a long period of capital injection, coupled with internal competition, the British surpassed the French in industrial production capacity more than a hundred years later.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason. The main focus of the French is on the European continent, and they have always dreamed of dominating the European continent, and even let the pope bow to them, they really don't have the strength to pay attention to North America, which is so far away. The British, because of the great enemy of the French, could only stay honestly in the British Isles. If you go to the mainland, you will definitely be taught to be a man by the French. The French have a large territory and a large population, but the navy is inferior to them. Not to mention the French, even the gray cattle of the soon-to-be-formed Russian Empire could drown them.

In desperation, the British could only look for a way out in the high. And after coming out, they found that the natives here are really stupid and easy to bully. In that case, why should they stay in Europe and fight for life and death with the French, and wait for them to occupy it. Now, someone wants to grab their territory, and these Englishmen are naturally extremely angry. Hall M819 and the Heavy Punch style, which they have already seen, improve the quality of their weapons just by borrowing something.

Therefore, these British, who were accustomed to being robbers and pirates, could not restrain their greed. The French, who professed themselves to aristocrats and adhered to etiquette and tradition, traded the colonies for these weapons and the corresponding manufacturing techniques, and they chose to send troops directly to rob them. People in this era are like this, the exchange of information is extremely unsmooth, so that everyone knows a truth. What was originally a small thing, after being spread by people, will become a terrible rumor.

The strength of the company described by Lynman was, in their view, an exaggeration. Almost all the local rulers saw this as an excuse for Lin Man to cover up his incompetence and to blame the enemy for the defeat and other crimes. Hall M1819 is beyond their technology, and those repeating muskets, guns that fire explosive shells are simply their fantasies. Therefore, the British have made a bloody investment this time, 30,000 elite troops, 25,000 are all regular troops of the kingdom and elite mercenaries who have gone through wars.

The other 5,000 people are actually the most elite parliamentary guards in the Kingdom of England. These people are equipped with the latest brown bass II musket developed by the British, most of which borrow technology from Hall M1819. The remaining 25,000 men were also equipped with improved brown bass styles, all standardized muskets, and the caliber was completely unified for the first time. The artillery even carried a full 1,000 front-loading rifled guns of various calibers. According to their predictions, this force was enough to quickly eliminate the company, seize the production technology of the two weapons, and then return to the country to deal with the French who might become stronger.

However, their wishful thinking may not work. The strength of the company was enough to completely crush these 30,000 men, and the French did not drag on as much as they thought. When Calleman returned to France with the fleet, he immediately reported to the King of France what had happened. Not surprisingly, the King was very pleased with the deal, mainly because he saw the advancement of the Hall M819 and the Heavy Punch Style. His Holiness happily signed the alliance agreement.

Then the whole of France mobilized. France's largest arsenals, all of which, after paying a lot of money, were authorized by the King of France to begin refitting production lines under the company's instructors. All the resources, are tilted towards this place. Catalyzed by this great enthusiasm from top to bottom, by the time the British offensive forces set out, the French had already produced the first French-made Hall M1819 rifle and the first French-made heavy-fist artillery.

Because it is an absolutely mature process, there is no need to test and improve at all, and the French side began to produce frantically after a few days of test firing and after confirming that there were no problems with their own production. Here, by the end of 1724, tens of thousands of French troops could be armed. The King had already begun to discuss with Caleman how to attack England and where to gain greater benefits. And the British, who are not at all clear about this. The French were so guarded that they almost started the White Terror, so that the British spies did not gather any useful information.

After occupying the territory of the French, Chauel also entered an extremely busy stage of government affairs. All the people of the 21st century who have joined the company have also moved and entered the workforce, and if it had not been for the fact that Sholin had brought them to Africa in the name of overseas workers, the disappearance of these people would have attracted the attention of the state. Suddenly, so many people increased, and Xiao Lin was also very happy, and the number of absenteeism increased several times.

These ordinary Frenchmen, who were betrayed by the upper class, have basically been scourged by the French aristocracy who were the last to exploit them, and they have no source of livelihood. The life of the company is happy and beautiful, but it is also inseparable from money, taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Lin offered an unusually generous remuneration for the job of a gold miner. After seeing Schoring's mining equipment and safe mines, these young men among the French basically chose to become miners in the company.

With enough manpower, Xiao Lin's five gold mines also began to dig in full force. In this way, we finally kept up with the delivery speed of Huaguo. One after another, Xiao Lin also accepted seven batches of weapons, and all the army equipment has been delivered, and the rest are all weapons and equipment of the air force and navy. For the convenience of the future, Xiao Lin also added an additional batch of rugged and high-tech UAVs modified by the J-5 and J-6.

Speaking of this munition, Xiao Lin also began to arm the little warlord who chose to cooperate with Xiao Lin in the first place. Don't look at people who have started the business of warlords, but I didn't expect that he is still a patriotic lord, and his ability is much worse than that of Zarqam, but his mind is similar. Xiao Lin directly gave him the equipment of a first-class field division and a tank battalion, and they also pulled this team to practice every day. Recently, I asked Xiao Lin to exchange some antiques for a lot of money, borrowed some more, and was ready to start picking out the banner and learning from Zarqam to start working.

In this way, it can dispel the last concerns of the Chinese side to the greatest extent. As long as they see these weapons in Africa, they will not look into the alleged buyers behind Sholin. On the contrary, they should also distance themselves from relations as much as possible, lest the people of the United States say that they are selling weapons indiscriminately and affecting the stability and unity of other African countries. Huaguo will not have any loss, but this face is always unreasonable. With the character of the Chinese people, it is better to have a fig leaf than not at all.

The population of the Yanhuang Trading Company also officially exceeded 600,000, and the standing army was stabilized at 40,000, the so-called standing army, that is, the field brigade and the garrison brigade. And the non-reserve army is naturally the militia. The number of militia has reached 30,000, but except for training every three months and a month, the rest of the time is busy, and the militia status is only one of their many identities. The standing army has completed the change of equipment, and the personnel of the garrison brigade have been replaced with advanced weapons that have been retired from the field brigade, and the intensity of firepower has been greatly increased.

And the field brigade has already used all the Type 56 guns. Heavy howitzers began to break away from the field brigade sequence and gather together in preparation for the formation of a heavy artillery brigade independently. The artillery strength of the field brigade will be supported by the 21 Type 75mm mountain gun and the Flash Snake 1 rapid-fire gun. The two types of artillery are more convenient to carry, and the power is enough, the key is that the shells are too cheap to manufacture, not to heavy howitzers, and the shells are saved and saved, and they are used with buckles and cables.

The vast majority of the Hall M1819 and Punch production lines have been modified to produce other weapons. A very small part of the core part that really can't be modified has also been retained, ready to be sold to the French depending on the situation, and then pit a sum of money. The first trading fleet of the French would arrive at the end of the year, and that would come in handy at that time. Cellin waited and waited, and the flowers were almost gone, and the French trading fleet finally arrived a week before the Spring Festival in 1724.

Before Xiao Lin could speak, he was given bad news that the British had sent troops and wanted to fight them to the death. Only then did Shawlin know what the British had been doing lately. Recently, the attention of the entire company has been on strengthening management, assimilating new entrants, and spies have withdrawn quite a bit. Originally, the British were clamoring to join the company, but Xiao Lin was really slacked off by them. Xiao Lin also disdains to win over those British nobles, he can come if he wants to come, and if he doesn't want to come, he will get out, not one of them.

If the company is too proactive, these people will sit on the ground and raise the price. I didn't expect this negligence to really make the British jump. It seems that it is time for the company's fleet to be completed and appear in the eyes of the world. Xiao Lin directly decided that in the next batch, he would bring all the ships over. Of course, the deal with the French will not end because they have to prepare for battle.
