The officer reached into his pocket and took out the treasured letter from its depths.
He took a deep breath, looked at his lover, and squeezed out a smile on his tear-stained face.
Put the letter that will be sent in the future into the hands of the person you love most.
"Marina, I love you, but I'm sorry..."
The officer stood up resolutely and looked firmly at the British soldiers who had come up.
He issued an order to his troops: "Attack!"
The British commander on the battleship in the distance looked at the messy battlefield. The rebels no longer had enough ammunition and were now engaging in hand-to-hand combat with their troops.
He laughed and murmured: "General William's plan is really good. They solved their ambush with these cannon fodder."
"Victory in this battle comes very easily."
He put away his telescope and stopped watching the situation on the battlefield.
To him, none of this mattered anymore, because they had already won the victory on Long Island.
With those cannon fodders helping them find out where these ambushes are, their victory will become very simple.
Moreover, the military armaments of the Continental Congress Rebel Army were almost exhausted.
All thanks to the cannon fodder from New York City.
The British commander turned away from watching bayonet versus musketry combat, as it would be extremely boring.
…
At this point, Manhattan is up!
George and Bonaparte received an urgent military report.
"Long Island and Staten Island have been occupied by the British Army, and they are now attacking Manhattan Island!"
Hearing these words, George was stunned. Everything happened too quickly.
Their troops had just set up a trap on the island.
"Fortunately, we have built enough defense facilities, and we have enough advantages to fight them."
George looked at the intelligence soldiers and sometimes asked: "How is the battle situation on the two islands? How many troops did Britain dispatch?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Britain did not dispatch too many troops."
"The traps we laid on the island were destroyed by Britain using the citizens of New York City. They only dispatched a small number of troops and defeated all the troops on the two islands."
"Our soldiers left no one alive..."
George and Bonaparte were greatly shocked by using ordinary civilians as a pathfinder!
They have never heard of this!
"This is simply unbelievable!"
"How could they do such a thing? This is a trampling on life!" George denounced the commander of the British forces.
But Bonaparte seemed very calm. He did not have as many emotions as George.
He said very rationally: "Although we are not ashamed of such behavior, we must admit that the effect of what they did is very effective."
"The key thing now is that we have a lot of traps hidden in Manhattan. What should we do if they use the same tactics?"
Hearing this, George blurted out almost without thinking: "Abandon those traps!"
"We cannot allow civilians to be harmed."
Upon hearing this, Bonaparte reminded: "What if they use these civilians as a shield?"
"Our soldiers are still firing."
This question made George speechless. His brows furrowed tightly into a Sichuan shape. He didn't know how to answer.
But Bonaparte said very coldly: "We must attack and use traps. Our troops and equipment are not as good as the enemy's."
"If these traps are abandoned, there will be even less chance of winning."
“But what if we accidentally injure civilians?
Bonaparte said cruelly: "This is a war, and there will be sacrifices no matter what."
George was silent. He was also an officer and had been on the battlefield. He also knew the cruelty on the battlefield. However, his identity had changed now. He was the speaker of the Continental Congress, so when it came to this kind of matter, he should consider the people more. .
On the one hand, victory in the battle will affect the life and death of the Continental Congress.
On the one hand are the people. These are innocent lives. They should not be involved in cruel wars.
But their life and death actually have little to do with the Mainland Congress.
Even if they were all dead, the murderers were not the British troops, nor the rebels who shot and killed them.
Not even these two generals.
George took a deep breath and said firmly: "We must first ensure the safety of these civilians."
Bonaparte was stunned, quite surprised that George would make such a choice, but this had little to do with Bonaparte.
"Okay, I'll have the soldiers take action after the civilians pass through the trap area. This will give them maximum safety."
"Sir George, you also know that 100% safety is impossible on the battlefield."
George nodded, spread his hands and said, "Just do this."
"good!"
At this moment, a more urgent military report was delivered.
"Report, there are British warships in the sea, please give the general combat instructions!"
Bonaparte glanced at George. Although he was the commander of the entire army, George was the commander. If he was here, he should issue all combat orders.
George said in a deep voice: "Go ahead, General. The enemy is coming too fast. We may need to retreat."
"Reinforcements may not be coming."
Bonaparte nodded and said in a deep voice: "If reinforcements do not come, I will retreat!"
After saying that, he walked out. He was needed on the front line.
George sat alone in the combat command room and began to think about the breakthrough point of this battle. Everything was too exhausted after the battle.
The British troops, this time dispatched 30,000 people, were about to push them into a desperate situation, if this continued.
Everything will be destroyed.
…
At this time, Long Yan.
America is in raging war, but Longyan is thriving.
Although they live under the same sky, there is enough peace because the dragon flames are powerful enough.
It is precisely because of this that Long Yan has enough time to develop, and even has enough energy to assist other countries.
Build a project belonging to Longyan in other countries.
Long Yan is building the Aswan Dam in Africa. Although this project is a thankless task for Long Yan, at least for now.
But Liu Zheng was counting on Nashadir's friendship.
Moreover, the successful construction of the Aswan Dam will allow Long Yan to continue to obtain benefits from Egypt.
They also built roads and gas stations in Tsarist Russia's Siberia, and even helped them build smelters.
Although it seems that Tsarist Russia has gained money and enough benefits.
But in fact, these precious energy and benefits come from Long Yan.
