At this time, America.
British colonial area.
Clinton's office, he received a message today that the British Expeditionary Force formed by conscription was ambushed by the French army after entering the jungle, and now the entire army has been wiped out!
"That's an army of ten thousand people!"
"It's just gone?"
"Military Ministry, your investigation agency didn't detect any intelligence?"
"Do you know what those people outside call us? They call our British soldiers Deaf and Blind Soldiers."
"Deaf and blind people can't see the enemy's movements clearly!"
Facing Clintsy's rage, everyone looked very ugly.
Prior to this, Greene had won a surprise war, which was widely promoted. Taking this opportunity, Clincy raised the banner of the British Expedition to recruit troops.
With great difficulty, a force of ten thousand people was recruited. After a short training, they were rushed to the battlefield.
The general who serves as this army is a second-generation ancestor who only knows how to enjoy himself.
Clancy's son.
For Clancy, as long as this expeditionary force can reach the battlefield, it will win meritorious service for his son.
These people in the military were extremely angry about everything that happened.
Generally speaking, a unit needs to undergo three months of military training before being deployed on the battlefield. In this way, the unit may not necessarily have qualified combat effectiveness.
But for his own selfish purposes, Clancy ignored their suggestions and allowed the situation to develop into what it is today.
It would be better now, if all the troops were destroyed, they would be blamed instead.
Everyone in the military held back their anger and said: "There is no problem with our intelligence system. There are many uncertainties on the battlefield. It is normal for the French army to predict the route of our troops."
"After all, it is very difficult for an expeditionary force of ten thousand people to set off in such a mighty manner without being discovered. I think the responsibility for this matter does not lie with us."
"Commander, we are also saddened by the complete destruction of the expeditionary force, but please forgive us."
"The most important thing now is to block the news. The news of Green's victory has just spread. If news of the expeditionary force's defeat comes out now, it will make us very passive."
"Please also be sure to block the good news and don't let it leak out."
"Okay, we have more important things to deal with, so we can't stay any longer."
After saying this, the military minister led his men to get up and leave, without giving Clinsey any face.
Seeing this scene, Clancy suddenly shook his beloved teacup.
The sound of the cup breaking did not stop the military and others from leaving. They ignored the scene and left Clintsy's office.
Most of the people in the military department were people who had completely immigrated to the British colonial area.
Clancy was a commander sent directly from Britain to the Americas.
When his term is up, he still has to go back.
Now Clintsy refuses to approve any military expenditures for the army, which has aroused their dissatisfaction.
Especially when this guy actually used the banner of expedition to gild his son.
As a result, after the failure of the expeditionary force, all the blame was placed on them, which they couldn't stand at all!
Clancy is turning these military chiefs against him.
After seeing these military personnel leaving, Clancy became furious.
At this time, his chief of staff came over and said: "Commander, calm down, we still need these people to stabilize the situation, they are still useful."
"Now we can't push them against us."
Clincy snorted coldly: "Then according to your opinion, I need to grovel and let them continue to manipulate me?"
But the chief of staff smiled and shook his head and said: "In my opinion, there is no need at all."
"What they are doing now is just to get more money."
"In my opinion, the commander should give them the military salary first, and then appoint one of his own to join them."
"This can stabilize the morale of the military."
"Secondly, the general also has someone in the military department."
Clancy frowned and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to give them military pay, but that we in America don't have much money that can be used more."
"In the past few years, we have imported a large amount of goods in Longyan, but because of the war, these goods have been hoarded in the port warehouse and cannot be sold."
"Furthermore, we have been fighting every day during this period. We have imported too many weapons from Longyan, and we are very short of money."
Hearing this, the chief of staff also frowned.
He knew these things, and now it was all war. Those in-demand goods that he had spent a lot of money to buy from Long Yan could not be sold at all now.
Even because of the war, these things have devalued.
This is a big problem for them.
The chief of staff thought for a while and then said: "Commander, although we have no money now, we have mines in America. As long as we mortgage these mines to Long Yancheng, we can get a large sum of money."
"With this money, the current crisis can be solved."
Clintsy frowned and asked uncertainly: "How feasible is this method?"
The chief of staff thought for a moment: "I'll discuss this matter and I'll make sure it can be done."
"However, Commander, I have a condition. After this is accomplished, you must promote me in the military department so that I can help the Commander manage the troops." =
Clinxi thought as she walked and murmured: "There is no other way now, let's do this."
"Okay, as you said, you can go to Longyan City and talk to Qing Yangshuo now. I can approve your mortgage of three iron mines."
"As you command!"
…
At this time, the other side of America.
French colonial area.
In the Ohio River Valley, the French army defeated the British army and retreated steadily, which made Richard overjoyed.
After that, he received news that Britain was raiding their position.
Their position was breached.
"There is this Greene. He also broke through the position on the gold mine last time. Why, it's him again!"
Standing next to Richard is his son, Oslig.
Oslig's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name.
Why is this name so familiar? Green seems to have heard it somewhere.
Oslig suddenly remembered, wasn't this the guy who helped him enter the prison and let him see George?
This guy is actually an officer of the British Army?
Oslig was confused. If this was the case, then what role did Wan Shang and Fang Dalong, who were introduced to him at that time, play in this.
Oslig didn't dare to think about it anymore.
If Richard knew about this, his body of more than 200 kilograms would probably become swollen.
Seeing that his son was distracted, Richard scolded: "Oslig, what are you thinking about?"
