In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility.

As the majestic expeditionary force command ship "London" took off again, the expeditionary force, which had rested for less than half a month, once again gathered its troops and crossed the Texas border in a mighty manner.

The steel behemoth rolled over the mound, and army soldiers in yellow-brown military uniforms, holding Union Jack flags, followed like a tide.

Inside the London.

General George was frowning and said: "A scout of the Knights of St. George has been destroyed. Among the enemies, it is said that the paladins sent by the French are also included. The Texas rangers who come and go like the wind have already mastered According to our movements, I am worried that they will set up an ambush to attack our vanguard."

Marshal Julian said disdainfully: "Your Excellency, those Texas cowboys are just a group of stragglers. Even if they know our movements, how dare they open up and leave their turtle shells to fight with us?" Field battle?"

"You have to understand that the hegemony in the sky now belongs to us. It is impossible for them to do some small tricks under our noses."

Admiral George pinched his eyebrows and said, "I'm sorry, Marshal, I was overly worried."

Marshal Julian shook his head, thinking that the previous successive failures had greatly damaged the veteran's confidence.

At this time, Colonel Brown walked into the command room with a telegram: "Your Excellency, Marshal, urgent message from New England!"

Marshal Julian took the telegram and looked at it. He frowned at first, but soon relaxed: "The rebels in New England took advantage of our absence and started an uprising."

General George said with some worry: "The Quebec Division, the New Brunswick Division, and the Virginia Division are all important in suppressing the local resistance forces. If they are transferred to his command, those rebels who have no father-in-law will rise up." normal."

"Should we send a floating fleet to suppress it?"

Marshal Julian's expression was a little strange. He was always serious, but there was a hint of laughter and laughter on his face: "I haven't finished speaking yet, Your Excellency. The rebels captured the local police station and surrounded the local parliament. As a result, However, the Bahamut councilors climbed over the wall and held a meeting to reject the proposal to secede from the empire, and unanimously passed it. When the marines stationed nearby arrived, the rebels laid down their weapons and surrendered. "

Admiral George's mouth twitched: "It's just like a farce. I suspect that this group of people directed and performed it themselves."

Julian sneered: "Yes, I suspect so too. The lower-class people in the colonies can only engage in such unseemly methods, hoping that the mainland will loosen the reins around their necks. "

After General George smiled, he couldn't help but become worried: "But this is a dangerous signal."

Although the colonial territories in North America are of the same culture and race as the mainland, the mainland has no intention of developing North America into a new "British Empire."

In addition to requiring colonial collars to export primary agricultural products such as cotton, furs, meat, coffee, and cocoa only to the mainland, a strict grading system was also established to improve import standards. Many farmers worked hard to transport goods to the port. If the relationship is not strong enough, it can only be sold at the price of "inferior quality" or "second-class goods".

At the same time, the mainland also passed legislation that greatly restricted all manufacturing industries except flour, brewing and other food industries, including restricting the immigration of skilled workers from the mainland, raising tariffs and other measures, which made the industrial base of the colony quite weak.

This series of measures will inevitably arouse the resentment of the new generation of "powerful people" who grew up in the colonies.

The reason why it was easily suppressed is nothing more than the lessons learned from the First War of Independence, the rise of the British Empire, and people's fear of war.

Many immigrants from the American colonies came here to escape the war. The horrific destruction caused by the black slave riots to the southern states deepened people's understanding of this.

No matter how bad order is, it is better than chaos.

"North America is too big. During the First War of Independence, there were only 13 colonies with a population of only 3 million. Now, it encompasses almost the entire North America with a population of more than 10 million. If things go on like this, it will definitely expand. For a behemoth.”

Marshal Julian frowned: "Admiral George, our current problem is still the Texans standing in front of us. If you have any ideas about suppressing the colonial territories, you can apply for external transfer after the war." As the governor of a colonial territory, we will start to solve the problem."

Julian didn't care about the issue of the Colonial Territory, and he didn't think that the Colonial Territory's weak military strength really had the courage to start a new round of independence war. He even felt that if a war really started, it might only require the colonial Territory's garrison to defeat it. The lower classes in these colonies were all suppressed.

Admiral George smiled bitterly: "You are right. Moreover, Princess Louise is staying in New England. She must have already considered the future of the colony."

Colonel Brown could not interrupt the conversation between the two big men, so he consciously went to the coffee stove by the window and ground coffee.

The final result of the battle on the border was naturally won. The enemy's scout team was almost completely wiped out and only one person escaped. However, the cost paid by the Texas side was not small. A wolf centurion was killed by the enemy's leader. A hammer smashed his chest, and the holy light burned his body into ashes.

All four Templars were wiped out, and two elite horn heads were also lost.

Leon still couldn't believe it: "If they really didn't die in this battle, their Holy Glory will definitely advance by leaps and bounds."

Charlie grinned: "That's not a loss! Brother Leon, to put it bluntly, don't treat us as human beings. We are here for the trial. Death is not scary for us. What's scary is that we have to leave before we learn anything."

After fighting side by side, the relationship between Leon and Charlie was upgraded to "brothers".

He patted Leon on the shoulder: "I still remember the last trial, which was a battle with the Tatars. I died on the way to the Tatar Khan. It was quite tragic, but after the darkness, I woke up from the bed again."

"You guys are not bad. It's more willing to die for you than to die for those Orientals who I have never seen."

Leon couldn't help pinching Charlie's arm: "But this is clearly real."

Charlie was proud: "Look, this is the greatness of the adults. The miracles He showed, do you want me to tell you one by one? By the way, you still don't know who Orhan is? That's the one riding a dragon. This kid, according to him, he is also from your world, and he is the emperor of the Eastern Empire. Is there such a person in your history? "

"Eastern Empire? Rome?"

Leon thought about it and shook his head: "That's too far away. When I was born, Rome had already perished for many years. It was replaced by the Zoroastrian Ottoman Empire."

"Tsk, I knew that the Turkic guy was bragging. How could he have the temperament of an emperor? In my opinion, he was probably a sheepherder in Anatolia before. "

As he was talking, the cowboy who was exploring the way ahead ran over, shouting: "Quickly retreat, a group of hundreds of paladins are coming towards us. "
