1717 New American Empire

Xiao Lin's return means that the preparations for the spring offensive of 1723 have officially begun. A spring attack is a very risky move. If the spring plowing is affected by the war, the harvest in the next year will be incomplete.

As expected. It may even affect people's quality of life in winter. This will test the force's own food accumulation. As long as enough food is accumulated, nothing will happen later even if it is affected.

Xiao Lin has a lot of self-confidence, but the Frenchman does not have the ability to achieve Xiaolin's goal. The Frenchman was beaten up before, and all he could take away were small pieces of regular gold, silver and other property. Food and other things were simply not enough.

You can't take much with you. Even if you can take it with you, you won't take it with you. The French nobles won't agree to just food without money. In addition, another 30,000 people have been recruited as new soldiers, leaving 30,000 people less for farming.

There was already a shortage of food. The French even began to send warships to fish to fill the food gap.

People were pointing to this spring plowing, but Xiao Lin had received specific information. Therefore, Xiao Lin wanted to attack the French during the most important time of spring plowing. The primary goal of this operation was to seize a large enough estuary.

Obtain the entrance to the sea, Ijik's fleet

There is a port that can be docked and repaired. And the guided missile boats, hunting submarines, frigates and destroyers he purchased from the 21st century have enough space to dock. Without an entrance to the sea, are all these ships supposed to be parked on land as anchors?

The fort.

Xiao Lin talked with the Sun God. As long as he obtained an inlet, he could help Xiao Lin locate the teleportation location in the inlet. In order for his fleet to dominate the Pacific Ocean, Xiao Lin must obtain a suitable inlet.

Then, using the company's industrial capabilities, a shipyard and a naval port were established. This time, Ijik also received orders to assist the army in attacking the selected location. This time, the company dispatched four field brigades and three garrison brigades at the same time.

Follow closely behind and take over the defense.

The entire Night Owl battalion was the first to move out, working as a team to clear out all the French scouts on the front line. The entire Night Owl battalion first switched to the Type 81 gun family. Except for the snipers, they used the Yanhuang that the company itself had recently developed.

Type II A precision sniper rifle

Guns. Others used Type 81 assault rifles and Type 81-1 assault rifles. With the new weapons, the Night Owl's mountain combat capabilities were greatly enhanced. In just one day and one night, all the lurking French scouts were killed.

Chased out of the front line.

Then, one hundred heavy howitzers from the heavy artillery regiment arrived. After a winter of manufacturing, 10,000 rounds of ordinary artillery shells were produced again. It was enough for this time. The French also learned their lesson and never used fortress defenses again. Fortresses

The fortifications have been proven to be impossible to block the power of heavy howitzers. Only trench fortifications can barely block it. The French spent a huge cost and gained enough experience from the British to build a good

Trench defenses.

However, the British are all second-hand knives, and the French have learned these three knives, but they still can't do it. The anti-bombing holes are not strong enough at all, especially without cement fixation. After being bombarded by heavy artillery, half of the anti-bombing holes were destroyed.

Collapsed. Of course, the trench defenses on the entire front line still did not collapse too much. Apache arrived first with a brigade and immediately launched an attack. Fortunately, the two Type 56 rifles had an effective range of about three hundred meters.

The soldiers of the first brigade first set up their machine guns and began to cover the infantry attack. The mortars followed the infantry to the front line. As long as the defense resistance of a point was strong, the mortars would hit it. One brigade, three thousand people, all

The Type 56 firepower is really not something that the current French can withstand. The French have lost half of their territory. Even if they successfully imitate the revolver and yellow gunpowder, they still don't have enough raw materials and enough factory manpower to produce them.

Relying on front-loaded muskets, the firepower is not strong enough without aiming at all. If it is aimed, it will be difficult to be effective within less than a hundred meters. The Apache's first brigade has just entered to gain a foothold, the second brigade, the third brigade and the newly formed third brigade

The four brigades came together again. This

This was not an all-out attack, but a point-based breakthrough. The four brigades came together and in just two hours, they broke through the trench defenses of 30,000 French troops. The 30,000 French troops were just like this.

Four field brigades were left behind.

If there is not much difference in fighting power between the two sides, and if Carrot has some courage, these 30,000 people should take advantage of the opportunity. While the main force of the Yanhuang Trading Company is exhausted, they can attack the company's land with all their strength. However, the French

There are more than 20,000 soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is really poor. Now the people in the garrison division and the militia division have begun to use the Type 56 rifles. Only the newly formed militia division soldiers will use the previous Yanhuang Type 1 rifles.

Coupled with the light machine guns and Maxim heavy machine guns retired from the main division, the combat effectiveness is much stronger than them. Carrot does not have the courage. He cannot calculate the goals of these four field brigades. It is just to grab some property.

, if they want to engage in beheading tactics, the four brigades can directly break into the current colonial administrative center and kill all the military and political leaders, including Carrot. In this way, the French will have no power to resist.

.

Not to mention blocking the company's next full-scale attack, even the British will definitely show a huge appetite and usurp more French territory. Therefore, more than 20,000 new soldiers were urgently recalled by Carrot and were ready to prepare.

, and dug up defenses in circles. But unexpectedly, they suddenly turned around and changed their attack route to a small fishing village ten kilometers away. This is a medium-sized inlet to the sea, and it can be considered a French

A medium-sized fishing port here.

However, just because it is a fishing port, it does not have much military or economic value, and there are not many soldiers guarding it. When Carrot discovered something was wrong, he mobilized the army and prepared to defend the fishing port to ensure that there would still be enough fish and shrimp for food.

At that time, this place had been captured by four field brigades. There were 13,000 people, and their weapons and equipment were the same as those of the Chinese Army in the mid-20th century. How could the few thousand ordinary militiamen in the fishing port be trusted?

live.

When they arrived, the four field brigades had already set up defensive positions. One hundred heavy howitzers carried by the four brigades and sixty were set up facing the sea. All ships that were 1.5 kilometers away from the fishing port were

within their attack range. And in addition

The Forty Gate is facing the land, imitating the French plunder. Carrot doesn’t know why the enemy insists on robbing this fishing port. It’s just fishing, which shouldn’t be done. Don’t think he doesn’t know that the British have always wanted to rob it.

The company exports raw materials, including various frozen seafood.

Then, these seafood were turned into delicious cans of their own, and then exported to the British colonies. Even the French themselves had many people buying them. French cuisine has not yet formed a complete system, and it is not yet famous around the world. Compared with the company, it is more mature.

The 21st century cooking skills are still a bit lacking. Could it be that the news that came out before that Yanhuang Trading Company itself has a fleet is true. If the company really has a fleet, then it is necessary to seize a port.

The seawater conditions here are still good, but there are a lot of reefs below. To Xiao Lin, this is nothing. The reefs can be blown up with the explosives in Xiao Lin's hands. After sorting them out, they can be expanded into a thousand

A shipyard of about 1,000 tons, plus a port large enough to berth a 4,000-ton destroyer. The construction team arranged by Xiao Lin has already started on the road under the protection of the garrison division. All three important cities along the way have fallen into the hands of the garrison brigade.

It is still very safe here and will not be attacked by the French.

Carrot thought for a while, but decided that he should test it out. He sent out 15,000 troops and let all the remaining 25 warships in the colony come over. Anyway, he had only one idea, any Yanhuang Trading Company

He has to stop whatever he wants to do, and whatever the company wants to get, he can't let him get it easily. However, relying on the current strength of the French is a bit unsatisfactory.

Carrot didn't know that because of this failure, the mainland had begun to think about abandoning the French North American colonies. Originally, France did not rely on the colonies to deliver benefits. Even if it relied on the colonies to deliver benefits, it was not the North American colonies.

Because of the presence of the British, two colonies existed with each other on the North American continent, and each had its own frictions and contradictions. Many of the interests of the colonies were mainly used to arm the colonies.

There is no way, if you don't arm, the British will. When the British's power in the colonies on the North American continent exceeds theirs, the French will completely lose these North American colonies. In addition, the journey is too long, even if there are some benefits every year, transportation

Once we arrived back, there wasn't much left. In addition, in the past two years, due to the continuous wars with the British and the Yanhuang Trading Company, not only were we unable to deliver benefits to the mainland, but we needed local funds to maintain the development of the colony.

If it weren't for Carrot getting them yellow gunpowder and revolvers, which allowed them to imitate good weapons, the mainland would have severely reprimanded Carrot. Now, the mainland has begun to think about whether they should abandon the North American colonies. Colonies

There are also down-and-out nobles and civilians who can't survive, as well as various criminals and gangsters who have been driven out by them. Abandoning them is not a painful and reluctant thing for the local people.

As long as the colonies can be used to obtain sufficient benefits, then there is nothing wrong with selling them. The French king and his ministers discussed for a long time, and the balance has tilted in the direction of selling the colonies.
