Chapter 200 The French increase their troops, a new plan
The French had increased their troops, and the news exploded on the North American continent like a bolt from the blue. It was not the French colonies that mobilized more troops to join the Great Anglo-French War, but a fleet of twenty warships, including battleships, cruisers, and frigates, arrived, along with 30,000 regular troops from mainland France. After all, France is a large European country, unlike the British, whose population is larger than that of the British.
Although the British gained great wealth through a large number of colonies, these colonies were not so peaceful. I am afraid that except for the Ganges River water, which is too much water and the Indians who are already in their brains are honest, there are turbulent undercurrents in the other colonies. Britain's own army and fleet needed to be stationed in various colonies to maintain its rule. Later, India was completely submissive, and with India's servant army, there was no territory in the North American colonies, and the British trembled.
The French were different, except for the fact that the fleet was weaker than the British, and the army had always suppressed the British. Later, Napoleon Bonaparte came to power, and the French army beat the British army to the point that it could not take care of itself. Unlike the British, who trusted and relied on Hessian mercenaries, the French believed more in their own army. Of course, this is also because the French are not as tyrants as the British, and they cannot afford to hire a huge number of mercenaries.
This time, mainland France received a report from the governor of the colony, expressing in his heart 100% confidence in the seizure of the British North American colony. Coupled with the company's foreign trade version of the revolver and grenade he sent back, the local people are still very supportive. Since he was sure, the native always had to mean something, and it was with great difficulty that this little power was squeezed out of his teeth, and if he failed to achieve his goal this time, the French were afraid that something would go wrong. However, people dare to gamble, and they just take this opportunity to divert the emerging contradictions in the country.
But in this way, the British complained, and there were still 30,000 people in the colony who had not come out, and now 30,000 people came. Finally, relying on the company's weapons, the private army blocked the 30,000 invading French, and after getting familiar with the performance, they also began to counterattack, pushing the French back ten miles, and now as soon as they heard the news, they braked directly. The 20,000 private troops stopped directly in place and began to frantically build fortifications, and then, Collins led the team again to the company to urge the muskets and artillery.
It was also because of this that the company learned about the French army increase. Xiao Lin was also a little speechless in his heart, from this on, the entire history of the world was changed because of Xiao Lin's arrival. Britain and France, two powerful powers that are now standing at the world's first-class level, started the war ahead of schedule and have begun to change the pattern of the world. The point is, what was Sholin's feeling like a U.S. president during World War I and World War II. Now the company has a bit of that status, standing behind the British, becoming a pillar.
Of course, this is also because the British cannot draw more forces, and they can't count on the mainland, so they can only count on this strong industrial neighbor around them. Xiao Lin was also very speechless about these stubborn British, and he kindly sent them a platoon of weapons instructors, and even did not hesitate to reveal some training methods in the new century, just to let the British kill and injure more French. However, they were actually afraid that the instructor of this platoon would seize their power, and in addition to the first three battles, they used it for a while, and the back completely squeezed them out.
Since it is not necessary to send good intentions, Xiao Lin is not willing to put a hot face on his cold ass. This platoon of instructors had just been transferred back to their original unit and began to write observation reports, and the British actually asked for these to be transferred to them again. At this time, Xiao Lin was unwilling. Before, because of the shortage of officials, he had to shrink up again, but now with a total of thirty senior officials from the Addams family and the Pandey family, and a similar number of middle and low-level officials to join, Xiao Lin is already planning to continue to act.
In fact, these officials have not completely eliminated their grudges against the company. It's just that because no family members died at the hands of the company, and there were six people in the Addams family who became senior and low-ranking officers in the company, they didn't take the disgust on the surface. The Pandey family is very weak about this, and they have no one to serve in the company's army. Clark, the only talented person, has a tendency to be a little psychotic after this period of decadence.
Every day, he knew that he rehearsed the battles he had lost in his room, as if he had seen a demonic psychotic revelator in a fantasy TV series. Although the company asked a doctor specializing in psychiatry to start treating him, he didn't know how long it would take to turn back into the high-spirited Clark. As a result, the Pandey family hated the company less, and in order to maintain their position, they began to integrate more eagerly into the company.
Xiao Lin estimated that there were almost four months before the company could start again. At that time, this group of officials had already been trained, oh no, it was brainwashing. And the company's first armored battalion, thirty White Tiger Type 1 tanks can also form combat effectiveness. At that time, even if Britain and France were united, Xiao Lin was not afraid. Provided, of course, that the company does not continue to strengthen the power of the British.
The instructors can't continue to be sent, and the weapons still have to be sold. The arrival of 30,000 French regulars meant that the French were able to draw more troops into the British colonies. If the British can't resist it, the benefits will be eaten by the French. Even if there was a formal war with the French, it would be impossible to destroy them in a short time with the strength of the company. Especially in the Navy, the warship Shaw Lin, which surpassed the sail warships of this era, can be rectified, but what about the Navy.
In the 21st century, there are no more motor sailboats, all steel warships, and in 1721 these people, even the most elite British navy, had to be caught blind. Xiao Lin can't let his subordinates learn from Somali pirates, driving a small broken speedboat, without any defenses, relying on RPGs for long-range battles and AK47s for melee combat. If they can't defeat the French fleet, they can't stop them from transporting all their belongings back to the mainland. Without these European artifacts and antique gold coins, a mighty empire would not have been sustained by the resale of furs, gold, and timber alone.
Even if it occupies those territories, the company's strength cannot be regarded as enhanced, but weakened by a lot of drag. So, Sholin asked Collins to raise the price by 20 percent, so that the weapons could be delivered ten days earlier. Of these 20 percent, 10 percent was used to set up bonuses to encourage the workers of the arsenal, and the other 10 percent was put in his pocket.
As soon as the Collins side finished talking, the French again transferred 30,000 people, 15,000 militia from the original colonies, and half of the regular army from the mainland, to rush to the front line of the Great War between Britain and France. The arrival of 30,000 native regular troops gave the French more room for strategic planning. These 30,000 regular troops are going to fight more than the 30,000 militia on the mainland. Divided into two, half of them entered the battlefield as the mainstay, and the other half defended the French North American colonies to dispel the hostility of outsiders.
Don't look at the number of troops guarding the colony has not changed, but the combat effectiveness has increased by two notches. If there were still many large Indian tribal alliances still coveting the empty French colonies at this time, after the change of defense, they were basically reined in. Corinth could not receive timely news and was anxiously awaiting the second batch of five thousand muskets, fifty guns. As soon as the last musket was produced, the Corinthian men sealed it in the last musket box and loaded it into a wagon and transported it away.
By the time we got close to the private army brigade, the bad news had already spread. Relying on 30,000 new forces, the French were in great power this time, and this time they did not make any strange plans, but attacked in a dignified manner. This is also the main offensive strategy of the Europeans in this era, and when the United States became independent, it was just a volleyball killing, one by one, and also defeating the British. Now it is two to one (the French army has lost its combat effectiveness in the previous battle), and according to the white people's style of play, the British naturally can't bear it.
The ten-mile territory that was originally recovered has now been pushed back, and at the same time, it has been encroached upon for an additional five miles. Fortunately, there were 5,000 and 50,000 new muskets and artillery in the 20,000 private army, and with these weapons, they finally withstood the attack of the French. Of the 20,000 private troops, there are now only about 15,000 left, and the original 45,000 French troops have once again lost their combat effectiveness. In this era of extremely poor medical care, I am afraid that few of these people can return to the army.
The two sides fell into a state of confrontation, but the British side felt a little strong from the outside. The British were able to make a heavy one-punch cannonball, and they could use ordinary gunpowder to exert eighty percent of their combat effectiveness. However, the bullets of the Hall M1819 musket have not yet been produced by the United Kingdom, and it is too late to use them on the front line, so they will only get 30 methods for dismantling and development. However, these arsenals that have taken on the task of secret imitation have really felt the despair of scientific and technological barriers.
If you dismantle a few of them, they are all destroyed directly, and all the raw materials are mixed together, and if you copy them into a pile as they are, there is no way to guarantee safety at all. When they got to the back, they didn't dare to dismantle it, and they all planned to imitate the shell first. The addition of this batch of firearms by Collins finally relieved Wilf and others, who were in charge of overall command. There is no longer a bluff, and they dare to directly return fire at the provocation of the French, but the ammunition gap is still very large.
The three Earls of Limman received the report and could only spare a further 500,000 pounds sterling for the purchase of bullets and yellow powder. With a stroke of the pen, Xiao Lin sold, and with this money, the company could be more fully equipped.
