1717 New American Empire

Chapter 165 Another Spring Comes

The sun and the moon rotated, time passed, and it was already the spring of 1720. Too many things happened in one year. In the battle between Britain and France, the British had elite Hessian mercenaries as the core, and Adolf was the stand-in

A general at the top of his era. Even if he fell into a disadvantage several times, he rebounded and regained the upper hand. The French sent messengers several times to get rid of Xiaolin and sent troops to attack the British rear, but Xiaolin did not agree.

However, this does not mean that the British will continue to win like this. After all, the 30,000 Hessian mercenaries in the hands of the British first fought two battles with the company, killing more than 12,000 people, and then fought with the French.

, more than 7,000 people lost their combat effectiveness before and after, leaving only

Ten thousand was no longer enough to bear the burden. Most of the injured Hessian mercenaries had already settled in the North American colonies and had no plans to go back. The British used a fleet of more than a dozen explosive battleships in exchange for these thirty thousand benevolence.

In fact, it can be said that they have long belonged to the UK.

Naturally, Adolf couldn't say anything about leading his people to retreat. If it hadn't been for Charlie's constant support, Adolf's men wouldn't have had enough power to suppress the British army. Adolf also defected to Charlie and became Charlie's absolute confidant. Charlie was also quite

Self-awareness leads to an army

The troops were all handed over to Adolf to manage. They had been suppressing the French, but their potential was still exhausted. In this battle for the colonies, the British army suffered 50,000 casualties, plus 20,000 Hessian mercenaries. Charles

The power in his hands is still not enough to suppress the internal opponents.

Coupled with the continuous wars during this period, the high-pressure and high-tax policy towards the colonies almost caused the people to live in dire straits. The civilians almost couldn't survive. Not long ago, civilians in a small settlement got together to kill the officials there and instigate rebellion.

In order to prevent huge civil strife in the colonies, this war can no longer be fought. If it is fought again, the civil strife in the British colonies will develop to the point where it cannot be controlled.

.

The British who have the upper hand are like this, and the French are not much better. If the French had not relied on Yanhuang Trading Company's continuous supply of military logistics such as revolvers, grenades, and cans, they would have been completely defeated. Therefore,

Even if Xiao Lin never agreed to the French sending troops to harass the British, the French would not dare to break up with the company directly. As long as the company no longer sells them anything, the French will not be able to replenish their strength and will only lose their last territory.

All were lost and completely driven out of the North American continent by the British.

Both sides have reached the end of the war and are unable to continue. Therefore, under the orders of the European mainland, the two parties began to prepare for peace. The colonial losses were too great and it was not in the interest of the European mainland. Even if there was still hatred, the war could not continue.

It went down. Therefore, the two sides officially began to make peace during the company's Spring Festival. A month later, the peace talks were completed, the war between Britain and France officially ended, and both sides began to cultivate their voices.

Among them, the British were lucky, at least they occupied Quebec and gained a little more territory. The French not only lost their troops, but also lost Quebec. The number of casualties in the army and civilians reached more than 60,000. Don't look at it.

It was less than the British, but that's because more than 30,000 British people were killed or injured at the hands of the Yanhuang Trading Company. In the battle between the two forces, almost 30,000 Indians were killed or injured.

They are Indians from tribes affiliated with both countries.

If there are still people who have benefited, it is only the Yanhuang Trading Company. During this period, Ijik once again brought 15,000 Asians to the company, including 4,000 elderly people and children.

There are more than 11,000 adult men and women. Even the criminals who came here with Lin Xin first took the initiative to tell Yijik the address of their village in the last operation, and their families were all

I picked it up.

These 11,000 adults have greatly enriched the company's strength. Because these Asians are all good at managing fields. Unlike white people and Indians, fields and various crops perform very well in their hands.

.Only relying on these people, we can produce enough food every year to support the lives of more than 150,000 people in the company. Coupled with the food obtained from hunting, fishing and trade, the company will no longer be short of food, and everyone can enjoy it.

The earth has created children, and they no longer have to worry about dying early because they don’t have enough to eat.

In the last three days of the first month after the Spring Festival, the company's last factory was established. This factory is the final arsenal supporting facility, a bullet reloading factory. The company has fired a lot of bullets in recent years, all of which are made of bullets.

It is made of steel of the 21st century. Although it is only steel for civilian use, it could be used as high-quality gun steel even in the mid-19th century. Therefore, it would be really reluctant to abandon it like this.

However, the company did not have the ability to build a steelmaking plant in 1720 that could re-melt and use the late 20th century technology. No matter how hard Xiao Lin tried, he could only build a basic smelting workshop here. The smelting workshop is the largest.

With the technology, we can only produce civilian steel in the early 19th century. It is not even qualified to make gun barrels. It can only be used to make civilian tools, mainly farm tools. However, it is even more difficult to bring these bullet casings back.

It's a hassle.

In the past, Xiao Lin only had a limited amount of items to carry across time, so he couldn't find any room for them. Later, because the bullet casings were separated, all he could put in boxes and smeared with blood to bring back was just boxes. Now Xiao Lin

I have completely given up the thought of taking them back for reuse, so I can only think of ways to profit here. Gunpowder is much easier to carry than bullet casings, and with the formula, there is no need to make it in the 21st century. The raw materials are in

After May 1719, the company was also able to collect and process it.

Therefore, a bullet reassembly factory is very necessary. Together with this bullet clothing factory, the company has established a basic defense industry in Xiji Town. By the time of statistics at the end of February, the company can already produce a thousand Yanhuang Yishi every month.

rifles, two hundred Type 17 pistols, and three hundred ZL-1A heavy revolvers. The number of reloads of 7.62 mm caliber bullets reached 10,000, and the number of reloads of 11.2 mm caliber bullets reached 2,000. In addition to the production, the number of bullets increased

Together we can produce 50,000 yuan a month.

Although it cannot support a battle involving tens of thousands of people, it is enough for the normal training of the Manchu Company Guards. Speaking of the company's guards, now the number of company troops has reached three divisions, three divisions, and ten

The brigade has a total of 33,000 people. Compared with the company's 150,000 people, the number is indeed very large, and the military-civilian ratio has reached an unprecedented one to five. However, the third division is not even a garrison division, it is just

Militia Division.

The militia division is only equipped with Yanhuang Type 1 rifles, ZL-1A heavy revolvers, and wooden handle grenades officially named QB-1. The wooden handle grenade is the company's latest product in 2019. As the scale of the battle becomes more and more fierce, the original fuze

Type grenades are no longer applicable. After all, you need to light the fuse before throwing them out, and soldiers must carry a lighter with them. Although a lighter only costs two yuan, it can't stand up to the company. Even the cooking soldiers will be equipped with grenades.

Thirty-three thousand people, even if one person is worth 66,700 yuan. Of course, this is small money, but since the soldiers learned to smoke, this consumption has to come every two weeks. The landlord's family has no surplus food.

Ah, if you have the money, wouldn't it be better to spend it on other more useful things? Since there is no way to prevent soldiers from smoking, it is better to just turn lighters from military equipment into commercial products. As long as the grenade does not need a lighter to light the fuse, there is no reason

One was assigned to each person, and the soldiers could not say anything.

The militia division is not like the field division and the garrison division that are completely separated from production or mostly separated from production. They are like the ancient field soldiers and the militiamen in the early days of the founding of the Chinese People's Republic of China. They are usually mainly responsible for farming and production. They are only responsible for the annual slack season.

They will be organized to carry out basic military training. Unless it is the last moment, the people of the militia division will not go to the frontal battlefield. They will only be responsible for maintaining order in the rear and acting as heavy troops to transport supplies for the field division and garrison division.

Xiao Lin is naturally the commander of the field division, and his old father-in-law Xiong Ying is the commander of the garrison division. As for the militia division, his other father-in-law is his other father-in-law, and Alger is also the commander. After all, Alger joined later, and Britney and Ni

Na is not like Pearl and has made great contributions to the company.

, and Alger is also the mayor of Yuri Town. The militia division is weaker than the field division and garrison division in terms of equipment and training, but it is stronger than the white army of this era. Therefore, it is actually brought to the battlefield to fight the white regular army.

As long as you are not an elite player, you can still win.

Speaking of which, after being beaten so many times by the company, Charlie really learned the lesson. He began to reflect on why he had sent out large armies several times to defeat the smaller ones with more, but was still defeated heartily by the company, not only losing troops but also suffering countless losses.

Property. He has all the experience

People who have experienced battles with the company gathered together to sum up their experiences and try to find out what makes the company's army strong. In summary, he believed that the company's army was strong for three reasons: sophisticated and advanced weapons, and strong military discipline.

And finally a strong body.

He felt that he could imitate all three. If he wanted to have sophisticated weapons, he took out almost all his savings and set up a special award. As long as major arsenals can produce advanced weapons, there will be prizes.

For orders and bonuses, orders are paid first and delivered later, and there will be no default or squeeze. This method has greatly enhanced the research and development enthusiasm of the arsenal in the hands of the British.
