Greene had thoroughly studied the geography of the Ohio River Basin before arriving.
In doing so he was preparing for this war.
Now looking at the map of the Ohio River Basin, Green said seriously: "The French army now has control of the upper reaches of the Ohio River."
"They built a lot of fortresses on it to make up for their lack of military strength."
"To contain the French, we must take the initiative. This time I brought a cavalry force of 3,000 people, which can definitely tear apart the defense of these French troops!"
"I need to……"
Green was about to continue when he was interrupted by a voice.
"This plan won't work!"
Green was stunned for a moment, then looked at the officer who spoke, wondering about his identity. His entourage echoed, "This is the commander of the army before the general came, Dodge."
Green nodded, looked at the former commander named Dodge, and said calmly: "Mr. Dodge, do you have any better suggestions?"
Dodge looked at Green sarcastically and said calmly: "No, but I can confirm that your battle plan will not work at all."
Green chuckled and said, "Please give me an explanation."
Dodge stood up, walked to Green, pointed at the map and said, "Our original location was near Fort Duquesne."
"We had sufficient troops there, more powerful weapons, and even experienced generals to command us, but we lost that war."
"Although this is a topic that people don't want to mention, I still want to tell you."
"I have experienced that battle. Those Indians are simply ghosts. There is almost no cover on the plains, but they can suddenly appear and attack our soldiers!"
After hearing this, everyone was silent. Many of them had fought with the French army.
The Indians in the French army were able to maintain a very strong combat effectiveness on the plain battlefield. As Dodge said, they were indeed like ghosts on the battlefield, appearing suddenly and attacking them.
Green frowned as he watched the changes in emotions on everyone's faces. He never believed in any magical things that happened on the battlefield.
These are just tricks played by the enemy.
Green said calmly: "You are glorious British soldiers, but you still believe in these unrealistic things. No one can disappear into thin air."
"Now I need a unit to cooperate with the cavalry to attack the French army. I have another unit to go with me!"
Everyone was silent. They didn't want to fight these weird Indians.
I don’t even want to accompany this ignorant commander to death.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Green frowned slightly.
This was not the result he wanted to see.
"Do you want to sit back and wait for death?"
Everyone remained silent.
Green raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "This is an order. Do you want to disobey the military order?"
Dodge then said: "Don't be so negative, everyone. Let's do this, Commander Green. I will personally lead a team of soldiers to coordinate the attack with you."
Green was a little surprised when he heard Dodge's words.
It was Dodge who opposed this plan before, but now it is Dodge who defends his plan. He can't understand what Dodge is doing.
"Can."
During the meeting, Green didn't ask any questions. After determining the attack plan, Green ended the meeting on today's strategy.
The attack on the French army was immediately put on the agenda. For them, this matter was already a top priority.
However, in the evening after the meeting.
A very special guest came to Green's room.
This person is none other than Dodge.
Faced with Dodge's visit, Green was not surprised at all. He even guessed that Dodge would visit.
After Dodge arrived, he saw that Green had already prepared tea in the room. He was startled and immediately laughed: "It seems that Commander Green has already thought of my return."
Green smiled and did not answer. He stretched out his hand and asked the former commander to sit down.
Dodge sat down without being anxious, but took a sip of tea very naturally: "The aroma is fragrant, is this Long Yan's tea?"
Green nodded: "Yes, I once escorted two Longyan merchants back to Longyan City and got some tea from there. The taste is very good."
Dodge nodded in agreement. He looked at Green and said, "Commander Green, you also grew up in America, and so did I. Most of the British people in the British Colonies are in this situation now."
"We have been away from Britain for many years. I don't know about you, but I haven't spent a day in Britain in Europe since I was reborn."
"Now that guy Clancy has owed us military pay for several months. The French are coming. Do you think we, who are not born and raised in Britain, can fight for him?"
"Green, what do you think?"
Green looked at Dodge and said seriously: "But now the French are occupying our American territory, so this war has something to do with you."
"We don't have to fight for Clancy or Britain, but the upper reaches of the Ohio River are lost. If the French continue to expand eastward, and they move further up the Ohio River, they will threaten my hometown!"
"I will never allow such a thing to happen, so I must fight this war!"
Dodge took a deep breath and sneered: "Commander Green, you have another option. Just stick to it like me. This way you can also intercept the French."
"And don't look at the fact that we don't get military pay now, but we have muskets and weapons in our hands, and there are rich cities in the Ohio River Basin. As long as we attack in the name of attack, we can obtain a lot of wealth without using British military pay."
"Commander Green, I don't ask you to cooperate with me. As long as you give up the idea of attacking the French army, I can provide 30% of the profit."
Green laughed: "How much is this approximately?"
Dodge held out five fingers and said, "At least that's the number!"
Green was stunned: "Five hundred gold coins?"
Dodge chuckled and said, "I mean five figures."
"That's a profit of over 10,000 yuan!"
Green stood up suddenly and stared at Dodge's smiling face: "What are you talking about?"
"I said, 30% of the profit would be at least over 10,000 gold coins."
"Commander Green, as long as you are willing to turn a blind eye, you can get so many gold coins. Why not? If you stay in the British Army, you will not get a salary of three gold coins a year."
Green was indeed tempted for a moment, but he quickly put the idea behind him.
