Boom!
Boom!
Bonaparte's troops suffered heavy losses under a series of explosions. Seeing that he and his troops suffered such heavy losses.
Bonaparte quickly withdrew his troops.
A blind attack will only further increase the losses of his troops. Withdrawing troops now is the best choice.
Seeing Bonaparte's troops withdrawing, General Barry did not choose to pursue them.
"Order, no pursuit."
General Barry knew very well what they relied on to repel Bonaparte's attack.
Although he said he expected Long Yanjun to attack, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want the opponent he faced to be Long Yanjun.
Although these fuel mines are powerful enough, the protective weapons are not offensive at all, and they don't have much time left.
Only a few protective weapons for combat were produced.
To achieve victory with these weapons alone is simply wishful thinking.
This is also the reason why General Barry did not dare to choose to attack.
At the other end of the battlefield, Green's troops cooperated with the Long Yan Army to directly attack York Town.
General William, who was sitting firmly in Yorktown, had long been prepared.
The words of old Prime Minister Pete laid the foundation. Even if this battle is bound to be lost, it must be fought to the end!
…
At this time, George III, who was far away in Britain, heard that the current battlefield situation was not optimistic.
Extremely worried, after all, if Britain and Britain lose America's battle.
Britain, which dominates the world, will become a joke.
"There's no news about the battlefield yet?"
"Replying to your Majesty, no."
A British minister said in a deep voice: "The troops of the Longyan Army have blocked the entire route to America, and our merchants are unwilling to go. No one knows the specific situation now."
George III frowned when he heard this.
A bad feeling arose in my heart.
And this premonition is getting stronger now.
"Get ready to negotiate peace with Long Yan."
George III sighed.
Everyone was slightly stunned. Back then, George III was an out-and-out warlord, but now he wanted to take the initiative to negotiate peace with Long Yan's army.
Is the Long Yan Army really invincible?
They don't have Long Yan's wireless telegraph machine and don't know the situation on the battlefield. If they know that Long Yan's army now has technology that far exceeds theirs.
When they have quite powerful weapons and equipment, the Long Yan Army may not be allowed to participate in the war at all.
Because it's too risky for them.
But things have happened, and what King George III needs to consider is what to do next.
How can Britain save the current situation next?
…
And in the city of Paris, France.
Louis XVI, who advocated supporting the war, was very proud when he learned about the war situation in America.
He vigorously advocated the necessity and important features of this war to his ministers. Anti-colonial and anti-imperialist was exactly what the French Empire was doing now.
Although France still has the second largest colonial land in the world, it does not prevent it from winning a lot of favor during this wave of wars.
As the king of France, Louis XVI's international image also improved.
But these are international news in the world.
It has not been recognized by the French people. How can anyone expect a group of people who can't afford to eat to have any consciousness.
Louis XVI took advantage of the war to exploit the peasants.
The relationship between the government and the people of the French Empire was already very tense.
But neither the ministers nor the king took this seriously, because the victory on the American battlefield meant that they did not have to worry about subsequent problems at all.
The war came to an end soon, and the British army was retreating steadily.
As long as they add a fire, they will be able to win the final victory in France, and victory in this war will inevitably bring huge benefits, and by then the food crisis and economic crisis plaguing France will be solved.
Everything was going according to the script written by King Louis XVI, which made the king complacent.
He has accomplished something that even his grandfather could not accomplish.
However, no one could predict the natural disaster, not even King Louis XVI.
Just when he thought everything was going according to his script.
The cold wind blowing from the North Pole formed a storm, and a powerful typhoon swept across the French Empire.
Countless fertile fields were destroyed.
Now even those farmers who were not affected have lost their source of livelihood.
Everything is falling apart.
This undoubtedly intensified the process of France's destruction.
The armaments and wars over the years have left the French Empire unable to make ends meet. Even with the return of colonies, the huge financial deficit has made it impossible for a huge empire like France to continue.
But financial bankruptcy will not defeat a country so quickly.
Thoughts and the relationship under Louis XVI's rule fluctuated is.
Most people believed that their king would definitely establish a series of measures to provide disaster relief for them.
"Your Majesty, please provide disaster relief."
"Continuing to fight will only make France perish faster!"
Even the ministers gave advice one after another, but Louis XVI turned a deaf ear to this. He always believed that as long as he persisted for a period of time, victory would come.
All problems will be solved.
"Soon the war will be won..." This is what Louis XVI always said.
But he also knew that if the people in the country rioted, his throne would definitely not be preserved.
We must find a way to stabilize the current public sentiment.
The best way to stabilize people's hearts now is to provide disaster relief.
But under the current situation, disaster relief is impossible. There is no money in the national treasury. Louis XVI looked at his ministers and said solemnly: "This is a time when the country is in crisis. You are all our loyal ministers of France. You should do it for us." This contribution comes from furniture.”
To put it bluntly, the country now has no money and needs donations from these nobles.
But such a move undoubtedly touched the interests of the nobles, and more importantly, they spent the military expenses for the battle.
Now they are asked to pay again, but this king, Louis XVI, lives a very luxurious life with his queen.
Under such circumstances, it sounds like a very ridiculous behavior to allow their nobles to continue bleeding.
The clergy who stood in the Palace of Versailles were the first class of French rule.
But they are biased towards the people.
"Your Majesty, why don't you give up part of your daily expenses? Only a small part is needed to feed many people."
Louis XVI flatly refused: "Those are the wealth of my grandfather, grandfather and even the entire family. I am not the one who has the final say."
The implication is that the money cannot be obtained.
