At this time, America.
Longyan City.
Qing Yangshuo and Qin Changfeng were intensively arranging defensive offensives, preparing for a long war.
An urgent news reached these two people.
France is about to attack Longyan City!
Qing Yangshuo looked at the yellowed note and frowned slightly. This was the news that Fang Dalong had entrusted.
The news is very reliable.
Qin Changfeng read the note, looked at Qing Yangshuo and said, "Sir, your worries are about to become a reality."
“It’s right to plan ahead.”
Qing Yangshuo did not speak, but took out another piece of information, which recorded an incident that happened not long ago.
France launched an offensive in the upper reaches of the Ohio River, defeated the British troops, and continued to expand eastward.
Qin Changfeng was slightly startled when he saw these two pieces of information.
"The French want to fight on two fronts in America?"
"They probably don't have enough troops."
The composition of the French army was the cooperation of French and Indian tribes.
There were also some black slaves sold from Africa and used as artillery. This kind of army structure gave France enough strength to rival the British army in America.
However, there is a cooperative relationship between France and the large Indian tribes.
Most of the army was supplied by Indians.
The number of French immigrants was small, and the number of actual French people forming their own armies was even smaller.
The military strength is relatively stretched.
Although the French troops were stronger than the British in the battle for the gold mines, that was because of mountain warfare.
Indians can be very useful in familiar mountains and forests.
However, if the French army wants to start a war with Britain and Longyan City at the same time, this amount of troops is simply not enough.
Even in a war with Britain alone, these troops are somewhat stretched.
However, due to the quality of the British army, Qin Changfeng said that it was reasonable to lose in a battle with the French.
If France fights Long Yancheng on two fronts in this situation, they will definitely experience a disastrous defeat.
Moreover, the most high-end weapons in France are supplied by Longyan City.
Qin Changfeng frowned and then said: "Is it a cover-up trick set by France? If Richard is not a fool, he should know very well what the consequences of France's two-front war with Britain and Longyan City will be."
Qingyang said: "No matter what, we cannot disbelieve this matter."
"General, you need to pay close attention to the movements of the French during this period."
"After all, for them, instead of trading with us, it would be more practical to attack directly and occupy Longyan City's arsenal and resources."
"Although France attacked Britain, it continued to expand eastward."
"But judging from the map, the place occupied by the French was just a weakly defended location at Fort Duquesne."
"That city is now an important city for French trade. It has developed transportation and its location is no less important than our Longyan City."
"More importantly, you can pass through Fort Duquesne and go north to enter the Great Lakes region of America, which is the heart of North America and the most important region."
"This move by the French is not necessarily a full-scale war with the British, but may be sufficient preparations to occupy the heart of America."
"Britain's technological level, weapons and equipment are superior to France's. If France wants to use the simplest and fastest way to obtain a large amount of equipment that is better than hunting, it will start a full-scale war with Britain."
"Now the only one who can possess these conditions and meet them is our Longyan City."
Qin Changfeng nodded: "Indeed, the possibility of France attacking is very high."
"But as long as they dare to come, our Dragon Flame Army will let these French troops know how stupid their ideas are!"
"They will definitely pay a heavy price for their recklessness!"
…
Another side of America.
In the British colonial area that was attacked, Clintsy issued an order that the French troops must not be allowed to move forward!
The military ministry reinstated Officer Green and ordered him to lead the troops to the front line to regain Britain's lost land.
Captain Green did not hesitate. As soon as he took office, he led a cavalry team of three thousand people to set off.
Heading to the Ohio River Valley.
Now the British defenders were retreating in successive defeats, and all their important areas on the Ohio River had been lost.
Now the entire upper reaches of the Ohio River was occupied by the French army, and the important water transportation channels to Lake Erie were also blocked.
What's worse is that these British soldiers have lost their fighting spirit.
Facing the attack of the French army, they did not dare to fight back.
They only dared to stick to the plains and had no intention of attacking even though they had a huge geographical advantage.
Captain Green arrived and took over the troops without resistance.
I instantly understood the seriousness of the problem.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the British to defeat the French and Indians.
Captain Green frowned. The fighting spirit of these British people had been shattered after two battles in which they were almost crushed.
Faith must be rebuilt.
They really needed a win.
Captain Green came to the command room as soon as he took office and was about to discuss a new battle plan with the generals and chiefs of staff commanding the battle.
But there was no one in the command room.
Captain Green suddenly became furious!
"Call the officers of all the units immediately to come here to see me!"
After hearing this, the accompanying soldiers immediately went to report the news. They waited from morning until five o'clock in the afternoon, when it was almost dark.
Only then did Green meet these officers from various armies.
Seeing these slack people, Captain Green's eyes glowed coldly.
He said coldly: "I came to serve as the frontline commander under the orders of the military department and Lord Clinsey. Is this how you disobeyed military orders?"
"Does anyone still take the British Empire seriously?"
After everyone listened, they responded lazily: "General, it's no wonder we are not in a hurry. We need to arrange our respective defense zone tasks."
"Avoid the French attack."
"I really can't get away. I just have time now. Otherwise, you would still be here waiting."
After hearing this, Green smiled and glanced at everyone with nonchalant expressions.
Only then did he know what kind of army he was going to lead.
He did not continue to pursue these people, but said calmly: "Since you all have tasks, let's forget about it and let's have a meeting now."
Green looked at everyone and said: "The battlefield situation is now grim. We need to formulate a new battle plan, not only to contain the French army's attack, but also to regain the Ohio River from their hands."
