1717 New American Empire

The reason why the British and the French chose two completely different paths in their wars with the Company was mainly because the two sides had completely different definitions of colonies. The French, like the Dutch, regarded the colonies as a place for foreign trade.

Shopping malls, ports, etc. The main purpose of the colonies was to hoard supplies and trade with local indigenous people, and reap huge benefits at low prices. But the British didn't think so.

The British regard the colonies as their own land and as a dumping ground for domestic goods. Dumping and trade are not the same thing. It is also because there are many colonies that serve as dumping grounds that the British industry has always maintained

It has sufficient vitality. After all, no matter how poor the product is, as long as there are enough connections, it can be sold to the colonies. With long-term capital injection and internal competition, the British industrial production capacity is only over 100

Years later passed the French.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason. The French people's main thoughts are on the European continent. They have always dreamed of dominating the European continent and even having the Pope surrender. They really don't have the energy to pay attention to such a distant place.

As far away as North America, the British have such a large population as the French.

The enemy can only stay on the British Isles. If you land on the mainland, you will definitely be taught by the French. The French have a large territory and a large population, but their navy is not as good as theirs. Let alone the French, it is about to take shape.

The gray cattle of the Russian Empire could also overwhelm them.

In desperation, the British could only find a way out. After coming out, they found that the natives here were really stupid and easy to bully. In this case, why did they stay in Europe and fight with the French to death?

, the free and unrestrained world outside waits until they occupy it. Now, someone wants to snatch their territory, these British people are naturally extremely angry. They have already seen the Hall m819 and heavy punch style, and they have improved by just borrowing some things.

The quality of their weapons.

Therefore, these British people who were accustomed to being bandits and pirates could not restrain their greed. The French, who regarded themselves as nobility and insisted on etiquette and tradition, exchanged colonies for these weapons and corresponding manufacturing technology. They chose to directly send troops to rob them.

.People in this era are like this. The exchange of information is extremely unsmooth, allowing everyone to know the truth. What is originally a small thing will become a terrible rumor after it is spread by people.

In their view, the power of the company described by Lin Man was an exaggeration. Basically all local rulers believed that this was an excuse for Lin Man and others to cover up their incompetence and wanted to shift the blame for failure and other crimes to their enemies.

Too powerful. Hall m1819

They have already developed their technology. Those companies of muskets and artillery that fire explosive shells are simply their fantasy. Therefore, the British spent a lot of money this time. Thirty thousand elite troops and twenty-five thousand are all regular troops of the kingdom.

and elite mercenaries who have gone through wars.

The other five thousand people are actually the most elite parliamentary guards in the Kingdom of England. These people are equipped with the Brown Bass II muskets newly developed by the British, most of which are borrowed from the Hall M1819. The remaining twenty-five thousand people

, it is also equipped with the improved Brown Bass Type 1

, all are standardized muskets, and the calibers are completely unified for the first time. The artillery also carries a thousand front-loaded rifled guns of various calibers. According to their estimates, this power is enough to quickly eliminate the company and seize two weapons.

production technology, and then return to the country to deal with the French who may become stronger.

However, their wishful thinking may not work. The company's strength is enough to completely defeat these 30,000 people, and the French are not as procrastinating as they thought. After Kaleman returned to France with the fleet, he immediately

He reported all the events of this transaction to the King of France. Unsurprisingly, the King of France was very satisfied with this transaction, mainly because he saw the advancement of the two weapons, the Hall M819 and the Heavy Fist Type 1. The King of France happily signed the alliance agreement.

.

Then, the whole of France mobilized. The largest arsenals in France all obtained the authorization from the King of France after paying a lot of money, and began to modify their production lines under the guidance of the company's masters. All resources were tilted towards this place. In

Catalyzed by this great enthusiasm from top to bottom, when the British offensive troops came out, the French had already produced the first French-made Hall M1819 rifle and the first French-made heavy punch.

artillery.

Because it is an absolutely mature process, there is no need to test and improve it at all. After a few days of test firing and confirming that there were no problems with its production, the French started frantic production. Depending on the situation, here by the end of 1724, tens of thousands of people could be armed.

French troops. The King of France has begun to discuss with Kaleman how to attack Britain and where to gain greater benefits. The British are still not clear about this. The French are strictly guarding against deadlocks and almost started the White Terror.

, so that the British spies did not collect any useful information.

After Xiao Lin occupied the French territory, he also entered an extremely busy stage of government affairs processing. All the 21st century people who had joined the company also started to move and all entered the work. If Xiao Lin hadn't used the name of overseas employees to

I took them to Africa before I brought them there. The disappearance of these people would probably attract the attention of the country. Xiao Lin was very happy that there were so many people suddenly added, and the number of absenteeism increased several times.

These ordinary French people who were betrayed by the upper class have basically been deprived of their source of livelihood by the French aristocrats who finally exploited them. Life in the company is happy and beautiful, but it is also inseparable from money. Taking this opportunity, Xiao Lin gave

The job of a gold miner offered extremely generous rewards. After seeing Xiaolin's mining equipment and safe mines, these young and strong French men basically chose to become the company's miners.

With enough manpower, Xiao Lin's five gold mines also began to dig with all their strength. In this way, they finally kept up with Hua's delivery rate. 66 One after another, Xiao Lin also accepted seven batches of weapons, 6

All military equipment has been delivered, and the rest are weapons and equipment for the Air Force and Navy. For future convenience, Xiao Lin also added a batch of rugged and durable fighter jets modified by J-5 and J-6 that do not have high technological content.

Man-machine.

Speaking of this arms, Xiao Lin also began to arm the small warlords who chose to cooperate with Xiao Lin. Although he was engaged in warlord business, he did not expect that he was still a patriotic leader, and his abilities were much worse than Zarkam's.

, but the thoughts are almost the same.

Xiao Lin directly gave him the equipment of an A-type field division and a tank battalion. He also led this team to practice every day. Recently, Xiao Lin exchanged some antiques for a lot of money and borrowed some more.

Ready to start raising the flag and follow the example of Zarkam.

In this way, it can dispel the last concerns of China to the greatest extent. As long as they see the threat of these weapons in Africa, they will not investigate Xiao Lin’s so-called buyers. Instead, they will try their best to

Separate the relationship, lest the Americans say that they sell weapons indiscriminately and affect the stability and unity of other African countries. China will not suffer any losses, but this is always unjustifiable in terms of face. With the character of the Chinese, it is better to have a fig leaf than to be completely

Not good.

The population of Yanhuang Trading Company has officially exceeded 600,000, and the standing army has been stabilized at 40,000. The so-called standing army is the field brigade and the garrison brigade. The standing army is naturally the militia. The number of militia has reached 30,000, but in addition to

They train for one month every three months. The rest of the time they are busy with their own affairs, and their identity as militiamen is just one of their many identities. The standing army has completed changing their uniforms, and the people in the garrison brigade have all replaced those from the field brigade.

Advanced weapons, greatly increased firepower intensity.

The field brigade has all used the Type 56 gun family. The heavy howitzers have begun to separate from the field brigade sequence and are gathered together to prepare to form an independent heavy artillery brigade. The artillery force of the field brigade will be fired by the Type 21 75mm mountain cannon and the Shining Snake Type 1.

The cannon is propped up. The two kinds of artillery are more convenient to carry and powerful enough. The key is that the cannon shells are too cheap to make. Unlike heavy howitzers, the cannon shells are saved and used sparingly.

Most of the production lines of Hall M1819 and Heavy Fist Type 1 have been modified and turned to the production of other weapons. A very few core parts that cannot be modified have been retained and are planned to be sold to the French for further use depending on the situation.

A sum of funds came over. The French's first trade fleet will arrive at the end of the year, and it will come in handy at that time. Xiao Lin also waited and waited, and the flowers were almost gone, and the French trade fleet finally arrived.

The week before the Spring Festival of 1724 arrived.

Before Xiao Lin could say anything, he was given bad news. The British had sent troops and they were going to fight them to death. Only then did Xiao Lin know what the British were doing recently. Recently, the attention of the entire company

They are strengthening management and assimilating new people, and many spies have been withdrawn. Originally, the British were clamoring to join the company, but Xiao Lin was really called slack by them. Xiao Lin did not bother to win over those British nobles.

, Come if you want to come, get out if you don’t want to come, no less than one of them.

If the company is too proactive, these people will just sit back and raise the price if they can't protect everyone. Unexpectedly, this moment of negligence will really make the British jump up. It seems that it is time for the company's fleet to be completed and appear in the eyes of the world. Xiao Lin

It was decided directly that all the ships would be brought over in the next batch. Of course, the deal with the French would not end just because they had to prepare for the battle.
