New Year's Tribute Operation!!

The New Year is coming, and this is the second New Year of the Principality.

Colonel Robert wants to make some outstanding achievements.

If you want to maintain your presence in front of the Duke away from the mainland, you need to constantly create surprises.

He greeted Earl Jeffreys in advance and requisitioned a batch of ships from the colony.

Under the leadership of an experienced captain, he ran two round trips along the planned route in advance.

The combat staff repeatedly checked along the route and set up temporary supply points.

It took a month to barely complete the advance preparations.

Earl Jeffreys was expecting Colonel Robert to make some moves, but after paying attention for a few days, he didn't see any actions from the army. Instead, he kept tossing around, consuming a lot of manpower and material resources.

If the other party didn't hold military power, he would have complained long ago.

However, in private, he often complained to people around him: "What new-style officers are just nonsense. They don't go to war and measure every day. Will the enemy send their necks to him? It's a joke."

Earl Jeffreys Jr. also served as the commander of the Iron Wall Legion for a short time, and that was during the reign of Louis II.

So it's a joke to say that he has no military literacy at all.

But Colonel Robert's behavior is indeed beyond his understanding.

But this governor cannot do whatever he wants. He can only watch Colonel Robert toss coldly.

If Colonel Robert fails, he may be able to take back some power and slightly intervene in the affairs of the colonial army.

Just when everyone was used to the habits of the First Brigade of the Guards, Colonel Robert suddenly disappeared.

The soldiers ready for action had long been drawn from all over the country, and they were preparing early in cooperation with the brigade's direct battalion.

Because of the long march, Colonel Robert asked the soldiers to reserve physical strength in advance.

When the plan was perfected and confirmed to be flawless, he took the army to act.

So cautious because he knew the importance of this action.

The First Brigade of the Guards Infantry came to the New World not for fun, but for the purpose of dealing with the whites and the Southern Noble Alliance.

The previous sweep of the blacks could only be regarded as a practice, and even the Duke would not even look at the battle report.

Colonel Robert did not feel any sense of accomplishment in bullying a group of primitive people.

Only enemies with sufficient weight are worthy of being opponents.

If successful, everything will be easy.

If failed, not only will it leave a bad impression on the Duke, but the high-ranking officials of the colony will not miss the opportunity.

Colonel Robert knew that even if the army wanted to remain independent, it would inevitably be influenced by the local Governor's Office, and the other party had many ways to exert influence.

If you don't want to be too constrained, you can't fail, and even win beautifully.

When 3,000 soldiers boarded the ship in high spirits, Colonel Robert was the last to board.

If this operation goes well, it will take a month to go back and forth.

But there were not many logistics personnel.

The soldiers themselves carried part of the ammunition, and the long waterway also relieved some of the pressure.

The ship moved forward smoothly, and he noticed that this inland river was very wide.

"We need to form an inland fleet in the future and establish strongholds along the way."

Colonel Robert was keenly aware of the role of this waterway. If he could use it to attack the enemy, the enemy could attack him along the waterway.

In addition, the area around the water source is the best place to live. There will be many emerging towns around in the future, so he should prepare early.

In fact, there are many black slave tribes living along the waterway now.

This has been reflected in the investigation report of the combat staff, and as the ship moves forward, black slaves can be seen on the shore from time to time, and some even try to approach in canoes.

These black slaves were shot down by the crossbows on the ship.

Speeding all the way, they arrived at the destination a week later.

The rest of the way can only be walked on foot.

"Colonel, we prepared some draft horses in advance...only enough for artillery."

"It's good to have them, we'll walk."

Robert interrupted his men. It's not like he hasn't experienced cross-country carrying loads before.

The first-line military commanders of the Northern Principality basically all learned by trial and error, and at the very least they have undergone various trainings. None of them relied on their ancestors to get to the top.

Because time was reserved, the First Infantry Brigade rested for two days before setting off.

After trekking to the vicinity of the preset battlefield, the next day was the day when the white-skinned men escorted the gem ore.

"The white-skinned men's escort is very regular. Those trash from the south have never hit the vicinity, so they have no defense at all." The combat staff reported with great disdain.

Robert still remained calm: "Don't underestimate the other side. The white-skinned men are also a regular army. In such a safe environment, their escort team has never been reduced. It can be seen that the commander of the other side must be very disciplined.

And the combat effectiveness of a disciplined army will not be bad."

Although the white-skinned men are enemies, in addition to weapons, their military literacy is not bad, otherwise they would not suppress the Southern Army.

Especially when they are in the rear, the army still acts according to the system, which can show some characteristics of the commander.

However, the system cannot curb the arrogance of people.

The next day, the escort army of the gem mine prepared to set off as usual.

The escort team was divided into two parts. One part was the armed personnel of the gem mine, who were responsible for loading and unloading goods and close protection of the ore.

The other part came from the gem port to escort the regular troops sent in advance.

However, the number is not large, with only four or five hundred people on both sides.

Because the area is safe, the enemy has never entered.

As long as there is no problem with the coastline, there will be no large number of enemies.

The escort team is more on guard against the local black slaves.

As the carriages are filled, boxes of gem ore are transported with the convoy.

The army in red uniforms walks slowly around the convoy.

The officers on horseback, with gun boxes on their waists, patrol back and forth.

The soldiers carry rifles, which can be seen as a rear-loading rifle, which is much better than those of the colonial companies, and it is standard equipment.

The soldiers are in high spirits. Although they are fighting constantly, their salaries are also high.

Who doesn't venture to the New World for money?

Everything is the same as before. They don't think they will encounter danger. At most, they will encounter a few lost black slaves and catch them to make a small fortune.

In fact, because there are white people on this road, there are very few black slaves approaching.

Everyone thought that the peace would continue to the gem port.

Until suddenly a sharp whistle was heard.

The experienced veterans had already subconsciously laid down.

They knew that this was the sound of a shell breaking through the air.
