Super Chief

In fact, Shi Xiong was psychologically prepared for the declaration of war by France.

　　 The situation in France is here. Their King Louis XVI, who had just come to power for only four years, was really unlucky.

　　 The grandson of the year was always in bad luck when he took over the scepter from his grandfather and became the fifth king of the Bourbon dynasty.

Louis XVI had an amazing wife-Marie Antoinette, the Austrian Grand Duke born in the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, married to Louis X, who was still the crown prince at the time, when she was fourteen. six.

　　 Although this Queen Mary is a noble birth, she herself does not have the sense of responsibility and mission that a queen should have. Especially when she became a queen, she not only made no achievements in politics and helped her husband share the worries and troubles, but every day she was only keen on dancing parties, fashion, fun and banquets, decorating the garden.

　　 The most important thing is that her husband, Louis XVI, is a strict wife and dare not control her, which makes her even more unscrupulous in the harem. It was precisely because of her extravagance that within a few years after Louis XVI came to power, the already empty treasury became even more capable of starving mice.

　　 And this Queen Mary also has the nickname "Lady Deficit".

The meaning of 　　 is very simple. Louis XVI's debts were high, and there was a huge deficit because of this Queen Mary!

　　Although France acquired Tobago and Senegal after the War of Independence in the original historical time and space, its fiscal revenue has increased, but it can be a disaster if it can't stand the Queen Mary. In the end, corrupt politics and cruel exploitation led to the outbreak of the French Revolution. This King Louis XVI also became the first French king and the second European king to be publicly executed...

　　 Anyway, Louis XVI is a hapless man. In the past few years when he became king, if he wanted more money in his pocket, he would inevitably take advantage of the War of Independence to declare war on Britain again.

In fact, Louis XVI was really pressed, so in the original historical time and space, after France declared war on Britain in March 1778, the French navy showed rare initiative and combat effectiveness, defeating Britain many times. navy. It was the failure of the sea battle that ultimately led to the inability of the United Kingdom to continue to deliver follow-up reinforcements and supplies to the North American continent, which made it difficult for the British Army fighting on the North American continent to continue.

　　 As France declared war on Britain and provided key support to the Continental Army at sea, the Spaniards also saw hope. So Spain declared war on Britain on June 16, 1779 and joined the French and American military alliances. Then the Spaniards and the French launched a four-year siege of the fortress of Gibraltar.

　　 The importance of the fortress of Gibraltar to the British is unquestionable. It is absolutely impossible for the British to lose the fortress of Gibraltar.

　　 Therefore, the French and Spanish fleets besieged the fortress of Gibraltar, which immediately attracted the main force of the British navy, making the British unable to provide more support to the North American continent.

　　In the original historical time and space, as France, Spain, and the Netherlands successively declared war on Britain, the British actually singled out half of Europe on their own. Coupled with the 13 North American colonies beyond their reach, it is strange that the British can win the War of Independence.

　　 Originally in Stone Bear’s plan, once France declared war on Britain and the French warships began to block the British navy in the Atlantic, the Yanhuang tribe would give more support to the British in North America.

　　 The British army in the thirteen colonies in North America needed supplies, but because of the French navy, when France declared war on Britain, it would be more and more difficult to ship supplies from the British mainland. Especially after the Spanish and French navy began to besiege the fortress of Gibraltar in July 1779 and attracted the main force of the British navy, it would be more and more difficult for the British troops in the 13th colony to get supplies.

　　 It is bound to be difficult for the British army lacking supplies to defeat the Continental Army.

　　 In the original historical time and space, the reason why Britain was defeated was because of this key reason.

　　 But in this time and space, the powerful Yanhuang tribe appeared, and now the Yanhuang tribe has a very close relationship with the British, so Shixiong's original plan was to increase the sales of arms and other materials to the British.

　　 If you want to prolong the war of independence as much as possible and let the two sides bleed as much as possible, then they must have the motivation to continue fighting and the necessary material support.

　　 As France, Spain, and the Netherlands declared war on the United Kingdom, the Continental Army received supplies from the European continent, and its combat effectiveness would naturally become stronger and stronger. Naturally, the British forces that had lost their supplies would not be able to move.

　　This situation is something that Shixiong does not want to see, so providing all kinds of munitions to the British army has become Shixiong's main plan for the next step. There is also the Daqingshan base in Beijing, and the overtime production of munitions and various materials is actually prepared for the British.

　　 The original plans were all good, but the French fleet suddenly appeared off the coast of Norfolk, which made the Stone Bear amused.

The last summer, when Stone Bear went to Norfolk to participate in the launching ceremony of the Carlos, the French warship tried to break into the Norfolk channel after shelling Jamestown to no avail, and was stationed in Norfolk. The Grimbear soldiers bombarded with 105 heavy artillery. The second-tier sailing battleship Royal Dauphin was directly sunk because of the ammunition exploded. The third-tier sailing battleship Versailles Glory and King Knight did not escape the fate of capsizing.

Three sailing battleships, together with thousands of French navy soldiers on it, disappeared in the Elizabeth River. Only a mere two hundred French navy soldiers were able to save their lives because they jumped off the ship, but those French navy soldiers are still in Abba. Mining in an iron ore in the Lacia Mountains.

　　 The French suffered such a big loss, they just can't retaliate.

　　 After all, they are a defeated country~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Before declaring war on Britain, they can only quietly approach the east coast of the North American continent as pirates.

　　 If you want to retaliate against Norfolk, the eastern capital, armed as a hedgehog, it is definitely not possible with just a few sailing battleships.

　　 Therefore, when the French declared war on the British, their warships could appear on the east coast in a magnificent manner.

　　 This news really made Shi Xiong amused.

　　 Are you French really soft as Norfolk? Can you really cause damage to Norfolk when you board seven or eight sailing battleships?

　　 You look down on Lao Tzu’s 105 heavy artillery too, right?

Therefore, Shi Xiong decisively issued the order: "Ling, the Fourth Division of the Grim Bear Army has grown Dahe. Once the French navy dared to approach Norfolk, as long as it enters the range of the shore defense artillery, there is no need to warn the French. The battleship launched a bombardment! If a French cannonball falls in Norfolk, you Dahe will quit your division commander and join the army!"
