1717 New American Empire

In an ordinary green military tent, in front of a simple table, sat a group of people in gorgeous clothes and European-style judge wigs. This group of people are now the powerful aristocrats of all British North American colonies. Earl Linman, Carl

The three leaders, Earl and Earl Stu, were sitting together on the upper table. Fortunately, the table was wide enough. At this time, it was already a week after the Yanhuang Trading Company and the British teamed up to fight back the French who were trying to break through the encirclement.

Some of these nobles came back from the front line, some came from their respective territories, and the last one came from Boston with Lin Man and the others. Originally, a naval battle and a land battle, a total of two victorious battles, were enough.

Let these nobles hold a banquet and celebrate with singing and dancing. After all, this means that their policies are extremely correct compared to Charles Mill's policies, and their actions of imprisoning Charles and then seizing power will also be correct.

When Charles was in power, both the Yanhuang Trading Company and the French were enemies of the British. Even if the two sides did not join forces, they pushed the British to the edge of the cliff. Now, the British and the Yanhuang Trading Company are close allies, and the armies of both sides have even begun to

Through coordinated operations, the French were defeated, and they were about to invade the French North American colonies and plunder them. Even people's livelihood, with the continuous output of industrial products from Yanhuang Trading Company, also experienced a "abnormal" recovery.

However, the power of Yanhuang Trading Company is so terrifying that it has completely exceeded the imagination of these people. All of this started a week ago. At that time, the French had already received the spies sent by Carrot.

The secret message was delivered, and they were ready to use all their strength to break through the encirclement of the British and the Fourth Guard Brigade. With the strength of the British and the Fourth Guard Brigade at that time, it was really impossible to stop the desperate French, and even, in the breakout

In the process, it would be difficult to cause them huge casualties.

Therefore, Xiao Lin directly sent over the tank battalion of the Guards Regiment. Anyway, these White Tiger Type 1 light reconnaissance tanks were already exposed when they attacked the Indian United Tribal Cavalry. The British should have collected some information. Moreover,

If the company finally annexes about half of the French North American colonies, the company's power will be expanded to completely crush the British on the North American continent. At that time, there will be no need to keep any trump cards, and it will be easiest to just push them across.

way of occupation.

As a colonel and brigade commander, Lin Xin naturally knew about the existence of tank battalions. He once compared the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners cavalry with tanks, and found that the so-called invincible Eight Banners cavalry could only be massacred in front of these tanks. To command

With such a troop, he was still very excited.

The tank battalion directly took advantage of this opportunity and conducted a long-distance training, driving directly from the company's site. There was no need to worry about parts damage and power shortages. There were ten Dongfeng trucks following, and the cargo compartments were full of

Parts, diesel generators and plenty of diesel.

There was really no room left to transport artillery shells. Except for those filled with tanks, there was only half a base left. The night before the French broke out, they quietly drove into the camp of the 4th Garrison Brigade. The British

Although extremely curious, but

Without Lin Xin's permission, they did not dare to break in and take a peek. The tank battalion took advantage of the night to complete the maintenance of the tank, put up a canvas, and rested for a whole day. When the French were trying to break through with all their strength, the tank battalion suddenly

Appears behind and to their left.

Thirty White Tiger I tanks broke in from the side and rear, firing and charging straight into the French artillery camp. The armor of the White Tiger I tanks was not too thick, and the 12-pounder cannon hit them to a certain extent.

The probability of breaking armor, so first of all, he

They just wanted to destroy all the enemy's heavy artillery. The French did not expect that the heavy artillery would be ready to mount transport horses for evacuation at any time when breaking through. They were too heavy. If they were not dealt with early, they would not be able to follow them at all.

of the infantry and cavalry that broke through.

The ones that were still firing were all small cannons of twelve pounds or less. Seeing a group of steel monsters spitting out matches and slaughtering their compatriots rushing towards them, the cannons were frightened and turned around one by one and started shooting at them. The firing angle of the heavy cannon

The adjustment simply couldn't keep up with the movement of the tank, and the cannons couldn't keep up with it either.

We could only focus fire based on guesswork. After three consecutive shots, we finally hit five tanks. After a sound of steel hitting, the stationary tanks actually started to move again, and the match ropes continued to spit out. All the French who wanted to get close to them

They were all beaten into pieces.

The French were immediately frightened and started shouting "This is the devil's weapon", and then fled in all directions. This is the white European in 1722. Even though they have experienced the first industrial revolution, they still have no understanding of technology that they cannot understand.

Named the devil. After one battle, thirty White Tiger Type 1 tanks killed 5,000 Frenchmen, most of whom were artillery and musketry infantry. There were also more than 700 cavalrymen. Because of their existence, the French

The breakout operation failed just like that.

Of the 30,000 French troops, there are now only over 18,000 left. The British also suffered more than 2,000 casualties, but they still have the strength to fight. The French have been stripped of their backbone and cannot deal with the tanks without getting along.

Before finding a solution, they would never dare to force a breakout again. But they didn’t know

He said that the White Tiger Type 1 tank had already fired a base amount of ammunition, and only half a base amount of ammunition was left, which was simply not enough to continue to deal with the next breakout operation. The machine gun bullets were okay, and they could be replaced with 7.62mm rifle bullets from the Fourth Brigade.

, although it will wear out the barrel, it is better than nothing.

The same cannot be said for the 37mm explosive shells. Apart from this gun on the tank, the company has no other 37mm guns and can only carry them by itself. Naturally, these news were completely blocked by Lin Xin. Don't say that he is in the hostile camp.

The French, and even the British who are now close allies, didn't know about it. After the British saw the performance of tanks on the battlefield, they were also horrified. They felt that they were no longer adapted to this world.

Originally, relying on their own guns and artillery, they were enough to dominate the world. However, the Yanhuang Trading Company suddenly appeared and came up with new weapons every once in a while. The key is that the performance of each weapon is far superior to their own.

.In the beginning they could still

After a dozen fights, when the machine guns came out, volley fire became a matter of death. When the mortars came out with heavy artillery, the castle walls turned into graveyards. Now, you have actually made an invulnerable weapon and equipped with a rapid-fire cannon.

caliber artillery and a monster machine gun.

If it is just an iron box, even if their weapons cannot penetrate it, the iron box can only be hit by collision. But how many people can be killed by collision? But they have artillery, machine guns, these two

, are all weapons of massacre. Only thirty tanks were exposed, but they believe that, like machine guns, mortars, and howitzers, these things will become more and more numerous and more powerful. If this continues, will the British still have a future?

?So, they were worried and got together to think about it.

"Michael, have your people obtained information about this iron car? Has there been any result now?"

"Yes, Lord Governor. According to the information we have obtained, this kind of iron car is officially named the White Tiger Type 1 tank in the Yanhuang Trading Company. The White Tiger Type 1 is the model, and the tank is its name. This type of tank is made by

Made of fine steel, it is said that the appearance

layer of steel, which is better than the steel used to cast the Heavy Fist Type 1 artillery. The specific thickness cannot be ascertained, and no one from the 4th Garrison Brigade can say anything. The weapons above are known to be a 37mm caliber small cannon and a 7.62

mm caliber light machine gun.”

"Not to mention machine guns, their small cannon is a brand new breech-loaded blasting cannon. The shells are the same as the company's mortar shells. They will explode after hitting the enemy. In particular, the cannon's

The rate of fire can reach one shot every three seconds."

"hiss......"

Lin Man spoke and asked a young noble to stand up and tell them the tank information they had obtained. Although the information was not comprehensive enough, it still made all the nobles present take a breath. Especially the 37mm caliber tank gun.

The speed can actually reach one shot in three seconds. What kind of concept is this? Even the skilled private soldiers who use Hall M1819 muskets can only shoot one bullet in three seconds. There has never been a gun that can approach or exceed the firing rate of muskets.

speed.

Now, there is actually a kind of artillery that has a rate of fire that exceeds that of all the muskets developed by white people. No matter how small the caliber of this gun is, it is still a cannon. All the nobles only feel that on the road of climbing technology, the Yanhuang Trading Company has already stood

At the top of the mountain, they were still wandering at the bottom. This was no longer a matter of envy and jealousy, but a deep despair that made people unable to see a way out or hope.

Now, even the mainland is not equipped with the Hall M1819 musket and the Heavy Punch Type 1 artillery, which are the most backward for the company, but they are still making great strides in progress.

"Now, everyone knows how dangerous our situation is. The rise of Yanhuang Trading Company, and even its domination of the entire North American continent, is unstoppable. If we say we are leaving now, they are already sprinting. If the French are finished

, then we have to make a choice after that."

"What choice?"

"Fess, are you a pig? Of course, you either become a member of the Yanhuang Trading Company, or you are completely kicked out of the North American continent by the Yanhuang Trading Company."

"Yes, this is the dilemma we are facing. We even have to accept this choice, so we must prepare for a rainy day."
