Chapter 248 The Great Changes in the French Colonies

Having defeated the invading troops of the French, the company fell silent again. Large-scale construction began here at the fishing port, and houses were erected on the ground. After a violent explosion, the submarine reef was shattered, and Igic's warship took on the duty of cleaning up the ship, transporting large pieces of debris to the deep sea and dump them. Ijik's 5,000 men, all but 2,000 of whom were stationed on Jeju Island, were reorganized. Changed into the company's specially made navy uniform, showing that the chariot and horse became the company's navy.

It's just that because of the bad habits of his subordinates, he was forcibly ordered by Xiao Lin to join the military training, and the most ruthless and iron-blooded personal guard regiment sent instructors to train them. It's a long-cherished wish that Igcik himself became a commodore in the Navy. The leaders of his subordinates, big and small, also became officers, and together with Igjik, entered the company's military academy in the starting town for study and training. The naval power of the Yanhuang Trading Company is growing in great strides, and Britain and France are anxious to see this.

The French don't have that power anymore, and the British don't have that power. They also have a large fleet, plus a huge number of noble private armies, but these people still have no bottom in their hearts. The French proved with their blood that the company's giant guns for sea defense had an effective range of more than three kilometers, and the power was so great that the battleships could not carry a few shots. As for the army, this time they actually came up with another weapon, the power is smaller than that of heavy artillery, but the range and accuracy are not much worse, and the rate of fire is extremely fast.

Before figuring out the approximate parameters of this new type of artillery, they really did not dare to act rashly. Similarly, the military research talents of both sides were also sprayed into dogs by their respective leaders. "You look at people, they come up with several new things a year, and each of them is a powerful killing weapon. If you look at you again, it will take several years to imitate the backward weapons of your own family, and I really doubt that you grew up eating pig food. A bunch of useless things!" and so on, constantly ringing in front of them.

These people are all dead, but what can they do, they can only be angry for a while, sad for a while, and then desperately devote themselves to the research of weapon imitation. Britain and France were frightened by the company's ability to develop high-powered weapons year after year. There is no harm if there is no comparison, comparing the performance of Yanhuang Trading Company, and then looking at the performance of the talents of their own arsenal, this situation will naturally occur. They don't know that there is a technologically advanced 21st century existence behind Xiao Lin.

It is very likely that they will stand with the company in the future, and it will be impossible to bet all the chips before they find out the company's hole cards. Carrot had wanted to continue the struggle and use the colonists to build a force again, but the arrival of three fast cruisers shattered all his plans. Carrot didn't dare to tell the mainland about his failure last time, but how could this be hidden, the local government had already planted spies, and these people sent the news of Carrot's failure again and their own assessment report back to the mainland.

Because it was a clipper, the whole process was to transmit information, and it didn't even stop at the ports along the road, and the news was transmitted back to the mainland in a month and a half. This time, the mainland really made up its mind, gave up the French North American colonies, sold them, in exchange for enough profits, and then, shrink their forces, and concentrate on dealing with the confrontation in the European mainland. This was also due to the British, and Lynman and the others obtained the Hall M1819 rifle and the heavy-fist artillery from the company, which were contracted at that time and were not allowed to be handed over to the mainland.

Lin Man, the nobles who had different intentions, did a good job, but there were people sent by the local people to mix in. Many people have already entered high positions. Seeing such a good weapon, how could they not give a copy to the real master. This deceived the superiors and subordinates, scrapped a small number of weapons, and then secretly transported them to the mainland. The local scientific research strength was much stronger, and it didn't take long to get it, and they used the borrowings from Hall M1819 to improve their own muskets.

Although it was still a front-loading musket, it suddenly surpassed the French on the road of standardization and standardization. Coupled with rifled guns modified from the original artillery, the British gave the French an elite squad raid. A garrison on the border was wiped out, and a town was sacked by the British. Those revolvers, which the French copied, did not exert their power at all. The intelligence network of the French was not rubbish either, and it did not take long to figure out the reasons for the advance of the British weapons.

Therefore, they wanted to sell the North American colonies to the Yanhuang Trading Company in exchange for Hall M1819 muskets and heavy guns. What they wanted was to make a batch of them to prevent the British from pricking them, and at the same time to imitate them themselves. The French are confident that their military-industrial system is better than that of the British, and the British can only take inspiration from it for a short time, and it may not be long before they can imitate it.

And Count Caleman was the plenipotentiary of this local commission. With such a big fat difference, everyone wants to get involved, but who makes the family the king's brother-in-law. Kaleman was not a waste, on the contrary, he was quite talented, and he was relied on by the king. This kind of big thing is naturally to be done by real people. Kaleman didn't talk nonsense, and rushed to the North American continent directly with three of the newest fast cruisers on the mainland. Carrot finally scavenged a batch of money, and when he was about to pull the strong ding, Kaleman arrived.

Carrot was called over and reprimanded, and then put under house arrest. If that's all there is, Kaleman will be miserable, and the generals who are afraid to agree to be held accountable will have to do something. However, they had planned it for a long time, and they carried with them a letter of appointment written by His Holiness himself. The generals of all the colonies will not be held accountable, and if they wish, they can be transferred to any of the other French colonies, and they will be transferred back to the mainland one rank lower.

This is a very good condition, and the generals' resistance will disappear at once. Caleman was a powerful man, and then the entire colonial power was in his hands. Except for those who are down, people who don't have any property and power, they all know the local decision, and they also support the local decision, and if they sell it here, they can also go to other places to mix, although the beginning will be difficult, but it is better than losing their lives here or being a fish on the company's cutting board.

The French civilians did not yet know that they had been treated as goods by the leadership, ready to be sold for a good price. After Calleman had won over the hearts of the colonists, he began to interview Sholin. Xiao Lin was still very strange, but after determining Kale's purpose, he directly squirted out a sip of tea. Historically, the French also sold their colonies a few decades later, and then went to Europe to dominate the mainland. Now, decades earlier, the colony still can't escape the result of being sold, but now the object has become a company.

Xiao Lin is still very interested in this. After all, there are only so many French left, and it will not help to organize an army, but will completely drag down the colonial economy. But these soldiers went into battle and the company to the ground, with the firepower of the field division, I don't know how many people will die. It's all the company's future labor, and it's a waste to die like that. It is better to be able to peacefully take over a colony that is still intact than to completely destroy a colony and rebuild it.

Moreover, the French did not want gold, but the company's Hall M1819 musket and heavy fist artillery. Calleman prepared a large statement that the French still had their hearts at home, and their attitude towards the colonies was dispensable. They also want to be allies with the company, the French in Europe, and the company in North America. This is very attractive to Xiao Lin, and with the company's ability, it is impossible to really occupy the world. His target is only North and South America. At most, add the Australian piece.

In this way, it is already extremely difficult to rule. In other places, only some younger brothers can be supported. On the European continent, Sholin really doesn't have the ability to rule. At such a long distance, logistical support is a big problem. With that ability, it is better to go to Asia to bully the Dongying people, Koreans and Tatars, by the way, and the old Maozi of Siberia. Since it is impossible for European companies to encroach, it would be a good thing to have a good ally.

Originally, Shoting was inclined to the Germans, but now Prussia has not yet been unified, and Germany has not really taken shape. In the future, the powerful country that singled out Britain, France and Milan in World War I and World War II has not yet appeared, and will not fight Britain and France for the sake of the company. The French are still a big European country, a strong country, and they have deep grievances with the British, so they don't need to ask for the company, as long as the strength is enough, they will fight with the British, and they will fight to the death.

Shoren convened another meeting of the company's decision-making, and ninety percent of them agreed to form an alliance with the French and take over the French colonies in North America. Kaleman hadn't made an offer yet, and Shawlin himself had already given a condition that they couldn't refuse at all. A Hall M1819 rifle of a 10,000-strong army, 600 heavy punches, plus Hall M1819 and heavy punch manufacturing technology. For this reason, the French not only did not receive any money, but also had to pay Shoren 300,000 francs.

But Calleman was willing, originally wanted to get some finished products, and now he has a full set of skills. When I return to my homeland, it won't be long before I can make it myself, and I won't have to look up to others in the future, and His Holiness will be very happy when he knows about it. He underestimated Xiao Lin's treachery, and there was no problem with the production technology, but the cannon body steel was a pit. It's not that it can't be made, but it can't be deduced upwards, Xiao Lin let people add some messy things into it, if they dare to deduce according to the data, they will definitely go down the evil road.
