1717 New American Empire

The British colonial navy has always been the main governor-general. Because these naval officers are not exiles, but people who come to experience and accumulate military exploits. They don't need to form cliques, they just need to endure the time.

As soon as the time comes, most of these people will follow the fleet sent by the colony to transport gold and silver as tribute. Therefore, the only person they need to curry favor with is the governor.

After all, the Governor is the military and political leader of the colony. When the navy is serving in the colony, they have to obey the Governor's orders. If the Governor does not set things up for them, their life will be very easy. If the Governor can put in a good word for them.

, they can also leave here at an extremely fast speed and return to the center of the world in this era, Europe. Therefore, Charlie will gain their support. And the reason why they no longer support Charlie later is because Charlie has lost this

ability.

The governor-general says he is the governor-general, but in fact all the power is given by the local government. The governor-general is responsible for delivering "blood" to the local government, and the local government helps the governor stabilize his rule. When Charlie has reached the point where he was at the beginning, let alone delivering benefits to the local government, he can barely

Maintaining the stability of the colony was a huge problem. For the first time, the people, together with the aristocrats, merchants, army and other classes, demanded that Charles abdicate and hand over the power of the governor. Charlie's removal was a certainty. Even in the mainland, this outcome could not be denied.

If the navy insists on rescuing Charlie, it is not impossible. However, this will first offend all classes in the colony, and no city will even provide them with supplies. The fleet cannot float on the sea forever.

With such a large scale, it is impossible to occupy small islands in the wild to obtain supplies by yourself. If you seize coastal cities, don't wait for the French to come, they will have civil strife themselves, which will disperse the power of the colony, and may even be killed by the French in one fell swoop.

And if they want to take Charlie back to the mainland, not to mention that the chance of punishment from the mainland is much greater than the chance of rewarding them. When they leave, the French will laugh out loud in their dreams. Therefore, these people can only stay with Charlie.

They remained neutral on this matter and did nothing. However, even so, the newly appointed Earl Linman and others were full of distrust towards them. They would rather rely on their own private army to resist the French than let these

People are out of their sight.

However, it is no longer possible not to release them now. After the French deployed twice, the naval power in the colony is not much worse than the British fleet here. Although the British are famous for their powerful navy, they also have many places to protect.

, this dispersion, the number is not enough. If you want to stop the French fleet, you must let all the navy here attack. Naturally, Lin Man and the other three are worried, but they can't stand Lin Xin's nonsense and secretly change the concept.

.

The return of these 30,000 French troops to the colony will do more harm than good to the British. Although the colony itself is safe, if you want to get out of the colony and go to the French territory to grab things to make up for the losses, you still have to destroy these 30,000 French troops.

The army. Now that they are in a favorable location, they can't defeat them in local operations. How can they easily kill them when they reach their territory? Lin Man and the other three are not fools, so they will drag these 30,000 people here until they run out of ammunition.

It is in their interest to run out of food.

After half a month of continuous blockade operations, more than 3,000 French troops have been killed by them. And their own casualties are less than 500. This is Lin Xin's record. In order to make Lin Man and the others believe in his

The planning meeting was successful. Lin Xin also persuaded Xiao Lin to transfer the tank battalion to cooperate with them to block the remaining French troops. The British Navy, after receiving the order from Lin Man and the others, also became active, and everyone immediately

Returning to the ship, we hoisted sail and anchor, and left the guarded port.

The commander of the fleet is still Lieutenant General Kamal. Because he helped Charlie transport the Brown Bess muskets and was recommended by the old butler, he then completely joined Charlie's camp. With the governor as his backer, Kamal

Your official position has been greatly promoted

Come on, it would take at least more than five years for others to go from major general to lieutenant general. He was promoted in two years. This is not a false position, but a real lieutenant general with real power. Of course, Kamal himself also has some real talents.

. Otherwise, the people below will not obey him.

Kamal himself was also from a noble family, and he had no idea of ​​​​"a scholar will die for his confidant" towards Charlie. The two just used each other. At first, he wanted to be impulsive, but when he was pulled by the generals below, he thought

I understand. When something like this happened, he

There is also a disgraceful page on his resume. He originally would have gone back in one year, but now he doesn’t know how long it will take. However, if this naval battle goes well, then everything before will not count.

You can return to serve in the most powerful fleet in your country at any time.

Since Kamal received the news, all the depression in his body has been wiped out. He put on a new military uniform and stepped aboard the flagship Boston with dignity. The British fleet also has fifty large and small warships. According to the frigates and so on behind,

divided into five armed merchant ships.

Ships, thirty frigates, ten cruisers, and five battleships. The battleships are basically the lowest level, and the most powerful one, namely the Boston, has ten nine-pound guns on the left and right sides, and three twelve-pound guns on each side.

Ten, twenty eighteen-pounders, and ten twenty-four-pounders.

The French also have a fleet of fifty, but there are ten fewer frigates and fifteen armed merchant ships. The flagship Saint Louis has four more twenty-four-pound guns, so the outcome is still a matter of victory.

It’s hard to predict. However, the British are very confident in this. After all, this era is the period when the traditional spirit of the British navy is rising and forming. The so-called traditional spirit of the British navy is the four elements of "fighting every enemy"

Character.

In 1797, Nelson made a decisive decision during the Battle of Cape St. Vincent. He led the "Captain" and "Excellence" out of the battle line, engaged in close combat with the Spanish Navy's "San Nicholas" and "St. Joseph", and boarded the ship for hand-to-hand combat.

, forcing Spanish warships to lower their flags and surrender. After the war, Nar

Nelson was promoted to rear admiral due to his meritorious service. In the following series of legendary naval battles such as Aboukir, Cadiz, and Trafalgar, Nelson still adhered to this combat style. This kind of proactive attack regardless of the comparison of the enemy's and our own forces.

The spirit of attack was called Nelson's spirit of "killing the enemy on sight" by later generations.

Now, although this spirit has not yet been summarized, the prototype has emerged. The British, who consider themselves invincible in the navy, will never be afraid of enemy fleets with the same number. This is similar to the fact that when a new warship is launched in the future, the United States will have to let the United States

The cowards who were escorted by others looked different. It was at this time that Ijik returned to North America and sent back a new batch of Asian laborers. Xiao Lin asked Ijik to follow him with the fleet from a distance, preparing to observe this big event.

Naval battles to accumulate experience for future formation of the company's fleet.

Ijik naturally agreed. The implication of this was that he would be responsible for building the future company fleet. In other words, he would even be able to sit in the position of marshal of the navy in the future. Ijik was so happy that he almost went crazy.

Immediately take the seven battleships he brought back to replenish supplies, ready at any time

Ready to set off. We defeated George that time and captured many ships. After repairs, Ijik had fifteen warships, including ten frigates and five cruisers. What we brought back this time were all without heavy punches.

A series of battleships with artillery. There are five frigates and two cruisers in total.

Xiao Lin had already prepared a total of fifty new punches for him, which was more than what he had given before. Relying on the speed of the frigate here, Ijik hung far behind the French. Fifty

It is impossible to hide a large fleet sailing along the coast. The British and French both know each other's traces. The French have long known that if they want to take away those 30,000 people, they cannot escape the British fleet. Carlo

In order to strengthen their strength, the latest batch of one thousand revolvers were given to the navy.

Artillery has also been installed in all the positions that the navy can deploy. Now, just like Charles, Carrot began to spend his own money to arm his troops. The French navy is still very confident, no, it should be said, they

We must win. If we don't win, we won't be able to take over the 30,000 army troops, and we won't be able to withstand the company's next attack. In that case, no matter how complete the fleet is, it will be useless and it will still have to be driven away by the British and Yanhuang Trading Company.

Out of the North American continent.

However, neither fleet was in a hurry. Before the war, whoever consumed more physical strength, whose condition was worse, and whose failure rate would be higher. Kamal was still worried, Lin Man actually sent a

The Qian Private Army arrived on five battleships just to watch them. Although the Hall M1819 rifles, grenades and Twenty Heavy Fists in their hands were very powerful, they were not under his jurisdiction.

, only in critical moments can we get their help.

Seeing that the distance between the two fleets was getting smaller and smaller, all the sailors and soldiers became nervous. The originally unbearable noise on the ship turned into a deathly silence. At ten o'clock in the morning on the sixth day after departure, the front

The reconnaissance frigate reported that traces of the French fleet were discovered. Kamal immediately asked the people in the watchtower to sound the horn to notify other warships in the fleet that the enemy had arrived. The entire fleet began to cooperate and tacitly seize the T position.

There was no radio in this era, so the British could only practice all the time. They had already rehearsed countless times according to the size and category of the battleships. Therefore, the entire fleet was still only organized. Similarly, the French were taking the same action.
