Chapter 609 The Arrival of the Iron Armor Era 2
Not long after the fleet of the United States of America left the east coast, the hidden pawns and dark lines of the Chinese Empire got information, and the Spaniards were happy to give this information to the Chinese Empire.
Finally, it can be confirmed that the United States of America has sent a powerful expeditionary fleet. The number of warships has reached more than one-third of that of the entire United States of America Navy, and they are all large warships that can go ocean. Well, nonsense, sailing from the east coast of the New World to the west coast, this distance, the unpredictable wind on the way. Waves and weather are not something that small ships can withstand.
It can be said that this fleet gathers the elites of the American navy, through those east coast intelligence stations, and the help of those Spaniards, so they are very clear about the whereabouts of this United States of America fleet.
And now, the fleet has bypassed Cape Horn and is coming to the west coast. What these poor people didn't expect was that a huge fleet had made all the preparations and was waiting for them to consciously step into a long-designed trap.
What the fleet of the United States of America did not expect was that their compatriots, the land expeditionary force, began to be attacked by the Indians not long after they left the territory of the United States of America and marched westward, and when they struggled to advance to the lower reaches of the Missouri River in the central lowlands. A servant army composed of Japanese under the command of the Chinese Empire began to launch a strong attack on them, causing this expeditionary force to suffer a lot of setbacks.
This expeditionary force has lost more than a thousand elite United States of America soldiers before it reached the edge of the West Coast. Just as the expeditionary fleet was passing through the Bay of St. Matthias in the South New World, members of the United States of America had received a letter of help from the expeditionary commander, Major General Morgan.
In his letter, Major General Morgan described the Eastern army that fought with him as an army composed of a group of terrible and ignorant demons. Those with strange hairs on their heads, machetees in their hands, strange armor made of bamboo and leather, and ferocious masks and helmets. The Orientals rushing out of the forest look very short, but they are extremely ferocious and often fight to the death.
Moreover, they also have a certain number of firearms, but their firearms are very old, and even some of them have been completely abandoned as early as the middle of this century.
These Orientals will not be as reckless as those Yin Di'an people. They are more insidious and vicious, and the number is at least several times that of the expeditionary force. This made Major General Morgan, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, finally put away his contempt and observe his opponents with a cautious and serious attitude.
After several terrible ambush strikes, he realized that if it went on like this, it was very likely that the expeditionary force would be dragged down by its Eastern opponents with the advantage of a sea of people. Therefore, Major General Morgan finally made a decision to ask Congress for help.
His military newspaper and letters of help were quickly placed on the desks of those congressional senators, which made the proud members of the United States of America recognize the fact that their enemy was definitely not a barbarian with a big knife, but a large number of Eastern troops with some firearms. After. The Congress of the United States of America launched a new round of heated discussions, and at this time, President Washington of the United States of America sent the Chief Justice as Special Envoy John. Jay's United States mission to the United States of America to negotiate returned to Philadelphia and also brought a special envoy from London, England.
--------------------
You should know that after the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 178, although Britain recognized the reading power of the United States, the two sides did not achieve real peace. Britain's garrison of the United States, the privateering of Britain with the support of France, and the British looting of American ships to suppress the French Revolution made the United States and Britain Go to the edge of war.
President Washington of the United States of America sent a special envoy John for this purpose. Jay went to Britain to negotiate, hoping that the two countries could give up such hostile acts, but now he represents King George III of England and British Prime Minister William Jr. William, the messenger of Pitt's will and a member of the House of Commons of the British Parliament. Wilberforce came to Philadelphia and brought the will expressed by England to ease U.S.-British relations and peacefully resolve the disputes between the two sides.
And when they listened to the envoy's intention, they soon understood why Britain made such a decision.
Because the British used to rely on their powerful colonial fleets and armies in the eastern colonies, they took strong and arbitrary measures against other European colonial countries to plunder the rights and interests of the Western colonial countries, which aroused the strong dissatisfaction and indignation of those colonial countries.
After that, the powerful Eastern pirate secretly connected and encouraged many European colonists to unite against British forces in the East. In the end, Britain's interests in the East were almost lost. The huge and rich Indian peninsula became the war of those Western colonists. Profits.
Britain was very angry. Yes, both the British king and Prime Minister William Jr. were very angry, and in order to redeem the British colonial naval and army officers captured by the damn Oriental pirates, they had to humiliatingly sign the grily with the pirate's envoy. Sino-British London Treaty.
Signing this copy can certainly allow the British to redeem their soldiers, but how can Britain, which has never suffered such a failure, be willing to accept such an ending?
So, shortly after signing the treaty, the powerful British Prime Minister William Jr. Peter persuaded Congress and King George III to send many envoys to the East, naturally hoping to regain Britain's interests in the East through various harmful means.
And, after learning that the oriental pirate who shamed the British Empire had bought a large New World colony from Spain, little William. Pitt communicated with the members of Congress again. After a difficult debate and persuasion, he finally let the members of Congress give up their partisan idea and temporarily make peace with the United States of America, an English hostile country. Naturally, the purpose is self-evident... Britain hopes that the two sides can give up hostilities, and Britain will be in seven nineteen. The United Kingdom withdrew its troops from the northwest of the United States before June 1, 2006. The United Kingdom compensated for the losses of American ships looted by it. In addition, the Mississippi River is open to the United Kingdom and the United States. In addition, the United States must prohibit American ports from equip privateerships against the United Kingdom, and only allow the United States to trade with the West Indies with ships with a load of less than 70 tons. , and shall not trade cotton, cocoa, sugar and other commodities; the two sides agree to establish a joint committee to determine the border between the United States and British Canada...--------------------
This treaty has aroused dissatisfaction and widespread debate among members of the American Congress, because the provisions of this treaty confirm Britain's freedom to navigate the inland rivers of the North American continent and its dominant position in trade in the West Indies, causing the United States to lose its territorial sovereignty and trading party. Part of the benefits.
However, it has to be admitted that the treaty enabled the United States and Britain to avoid the danger of another war in a short period of time after the end of the reading war, allowing the United States to temporarily stay out of the European war triggered by the French Revolution, and won a relatively peaceful international environment for the United States at the beginning of reading.
More importantly, it enables the United States of America to pay more attention to the West Coast and devote more troops and energy to dealing with the greedy and ferocious Eastern colonists. And this happens to be the end that Britain wants to see the most.In the wise British Prime Minister William Jr. In Pitt's opinion, the United States must work hard for its own living space. The move of the Orientals to unite with the Yin Dians to deal with Europe has touched the fragile nerves of the United States of America, an emerging country that has just been established.
After a tense and fierce quarrel and debate, the United States Congress of the United States of America agreed to most of the conditions, but demanded the cancellation of the trade clause on the West Indies. At the end, the treaty was approved and signed by the U.S. Senate.
This treaty has given the two sides a short period of calm and relative stability. Although the members of the United States of America are very clear that the British are not worried about their good intentions. The reason why they take the initiative to show their goodwill is not that the hope that the United States of America can fight with the Eastern colonists in the New World, but, Ming Knowing that the British plan to do so, the United States has to follow the idea of the British, because they are not Britain, this is their motherland, and they have no way out in this land.
On the third day after the signing of the treaty, the United States of America urgently sent a reinforcement of 12,000 troops to the expeditionary force trapped in the lower reaches of the Missouri River in the central lowlands. As a result, the number of this expeditionary force far exceeded expectations.
However, what the Americans didn't expect was that although the treaty temporarily gave the United States a relatively peaceful environment and could be used to deal with the Eastern colonists, the signing of this treaty angered France, which originally had an alliance with the United States of America, and made the relationship between the two countries. It began to deteriorate sharply.
However, the members of the United States of America, who have attracted the attention of the interests of the Eastern colonists and the West Coast, can't take care of so much at this moment.
Zhang Xingba, the former commander of the Nanyang Fleet, later became the first governor of the New World because Liang Wengeng, the former commander of the New World Fleet, took over as the commander of the New World Fleet, and the position of commander of the Nanyang Fleet was handed over by Mo Guanfu, the former commander of the Indian Ocean Squadron of the Nanyang Fleet.
It has been more than a year since Zhang Xingba came to the New World, and when he received Liang Pengfei's appointment letter, Liang Pengfei told the general that the New World Fleet would have a war with the fleet of the United States of America sooner or later.
Now, the horn of war has sounded, and the powerful New World fleet has gathered here to deal with the American invaders who dared to look at the territory of the Chinese Empire.
"Do you smoke?" Entering the office, Zhang Xingba picked up a cigar box from the desk, took out a cigar of carrot thickness and compared it to Zhang Baozai. The young man rolled his eyes and shook his head repeatedly: "I'm not an adult yet. I can't smoke."
"Well, that's good. You shouldn't smoke this thing at a young age." Zhang Xingba smiled, nodded to himself, and smashed it happily. The servant next to him had already brought tea and cakes.
Zhang Baozai, who had just got off the ship, couldn't take care of Zhang Xingba and swallowed himself. Zhang Xingba sat in front of Zhang Baozai with a smile and talked about the cigar. By the way, your godfather wrote a letter asking me not to care about your identity and treat you as an ordinary captain. However, if your boy lacks a piece of oil skin, his wife will take care of me.
