Due to the deformation of the hull, the accessories inside their Dreadnought-class battleship suffered heavy damage.
And that place happens to be the cooling chamber of the giant steam engine!
The deformation of the casing squeezes the heat dissipation circulation, unless they escape in time.
For a Dreadnought-class battleship that loses its heat dissipation system, all four sets of steam engines will stop working.
At that time, they could only face two choices. One was to be overtaken by the destroyer behind and destroyed by the opponent!
The second is floating on the sea, waiting for rescue. If they are lucky, they can be rescued!
Captain Britain took a deep breath and put down the information that frightened him.
For his part now, he looked at first mate Hendry.
"Notify everyone that we need to discuss how to fight this war!"
They must re-formulate a detailed battle plan, otherwise, it will be impossible to defeat the Longyan Army!
…
At this time, maritime operations were underway.
General William commanded troops to fight south of America.
They controlled some towns and ports in the south.
And such a military action is bound to encounter resistance from the Continental Congress!
George's rebels had a fierce battle with the British troops in South Carolina, but due to insufficient strength and backward equipment, they lost this battle.
In order to improve morale, we must also wipe away the shame!
George ordered Bonaparte to assist General Green in retraining his troops.
It's time to fight a counterattack!
At this time, the Milk River next to South Carolina!
The scenery here is good, and the large grassland makes the place very spacious and looks very suitable for living.
The above is just before the war comes!
Located in the Milk River area, it was already firmly controlled by British forces.
Bonaparte personally led a reconnaissance party to observe the milk and the British troops above it.
"About 20,000 people. Britain sent quite a lot of troops."
"Let me see if there is any other way to capture this river."
Alka, the soldier who came to America with Bonaparte, saw the dense British camp below and said worriedly: "General, can those Americans be relied on?"
"Since we came to the battlefield, we haven't seen them win!"
"If the Dragon Flamers hadn't helped them, they would have died long ago."
Bonaparte put down his telescope and looked at Xian Alka, and said calmly: "If you want to complain, just say it like His Majesty Louis XVI who made this decision."
"What we need to do here is execute his plan."
Alka hesitated and said: "I heard that there are big problems in the country, and many old people are starving to death, but Louis XVI is still aiding this war that has little to do with him."
Bonaparte did not respond, but quietly picked up his telescope and continued to observe the situation.
With unrest in France, this may be the best time to fight for Corsica's independence.
But now, after seeing everything Rousseau described in the book, Bonaparte began to reflect on whether he wanted to resist the monarch or the French colonization?
Corsica was originally a territory belonging to Italy and was forcibly occupied by the French.
And turn this place into their colony!
Ever since I saw the war that George launched to fight for the independence of the colonies.
Bonaparte was thinking, after Corsica gets rid of its colonial status, will it become an independent country?
Corsica is not America. They are too close to the European continent and too close to France!
Moreover, the French have ruled on the island for many years. Many people do not recommend French rule. After all, compared with Italian rule, French rule may be a little more humane.
What if Corsica shed its colonial status and truly became a French territory?
In other words, Corsica has become a sacred and integral part of France, but it is more free.
…
Bonaparte did not continue to think about it. His thoughts had quietly changed, just like the idea of the Jacobin Club.
To establish a country without a king, or a country truly built by the people.
Such ideas affected Bonaparte.
But now is not the time to think about this. The Milk River, an extremely important river, is the only natural danger on the southern battlefield that can hinder the advancement of the British army!
They must take it!
"Let's go." Bonaparte returned to the army with a dense notebook.
Green has been waiting here for their arrival!
"How's the situation with the enemy?"
Bonaparte thrust his notes into Green's hands, walked into the barracks, and drank a sip of water.
Green looked at the dense information recorded in the notebook.
Including the strength and types of local troops, as well as the models of some weapons, all are recorded.
Green smiled and nodded. With such detailed information, it would provide a lot of assistance to their operations.
Bonaparte looked at Green and said: "There are plains and very small hills everywhere near the Milk River!"
"This is just information about a section of the river. If we attack, we must find a way to cross the river!"
"However, the opposite side of the Milk River has been occupied by enemy troops."
"It's going to be very difficult."
Green nodded, looked at the map and said in a deep voice: "I have a way!"
He quickly came to the map, marked a location on it, and said in a deep voice: "We crossed the river through the heavy fog in the morning and landed the advance troops here. If they are lucky enough, they can build defenses in this open space. , to contain the enemy."
"At this time, we can send out a second force to support them. At this time, it will become easier for our main force to cross the river."
Bonaparte frowned and said: "Why not cross the river at night, and the foggy weather is unreliable."
"If there is no heavy fog, we will delay this war!"
Green said with a smile: "General Bonaparte, it seems you don't understand the weather here. It's September now, and the sun's temperature is pretty good."
"But in the morning, the weather was already very cold. Due to the huge temperature difference, thick fog would appear on the river. We crossed the river in the early morning, and there was no starlight or moonlight to illuminate the river for the enemy. "
"That time will be the best time for us to cross the river and fight!"
Bonaparte looked at Green's confident smile, and he didn't know how to choose to believe him.
After all, I have never seen anything like this.
At the end, he spread his hands and said, "Okay, if there is thick fog tonight, we will go out immediately!"
"no problem."
…
Time soon came to night. At night, the originally hot temperature suddenly turned cold. A layer of mist rose over the originally empty Milk River, which slowly became thicker.
