Chapter 254: Resolution to conquer North America

Another year of Spring Festival is coming, and all the territories under the Yanhuang Trading Company have entered a festive festive atmosphere. Those who joined the company in the early years were all wealthy families, and they also fell in love with this kind of festival where everyone was happy. They all wore new clothes and came to the market and supermarket to buy Xinyi's New Year's goods. Flour and pork were the best sold, and the family had to make tons of dumplings to eat. Fortunately, the company had already cultivated high-yield crops, and batches of domestic pigs were also raised to be fat and strong.

Many French people who just joined the company also received New Year's greetings from the company. There were not many things, enough to eat white bread and large pieces of pork for three days, but it also made the French white people cry out in gratitude. In addition, the food and money accumulated by working for more than half a year, they could also live the first rich New Year. Under the company's persistent crackdown, no officials exploited them, and the underworld members who dared to blackmail others were also working in the mines. The people were determined and the entire company's territory was completely settled.

More than a thousand talents from the 21st century formed the most core team of the company, some in the government, some in the army, and some in the factory. All three aspects were held in their hands. Taking advantage of the arrival of the Spring Festival, everyone returned to Qishi Town. One was to report the work results to the core board of directors, and the other was to have a meal together. These three were just arranged and prepared to return to the 21st century China in batches. If you have no relatives at home and are unwilling to go back, the board of directors, mainly Xiao Lin, will not force it.

I am not worried that some of these people will leak the secrets. After spending half a year here, who is willing to give up. Everyone understands people, and they will break up when they go back. They smell it, so they go to Africa to find big money. China is not the United States. As long as there is no abnormality, no violation of the law, no one will monitor and listen to them. It is also taking advantage of this opportunity that the board of directors held the second plenary meeting to discuss whether to officially start the conquest of the American continent.

By the end of 1725, the company's strength was no less than that of any European country with a population of one million. The total population had reached 750,000, and most of them were whites and Indians. With the company's industrial power, the output value was comparable to that of Spain, which is now in Europe, and its foreign trade income was equivalent to that of Portugal's tax revenue. Of course, it was still a distance away from Britain and France. Business development was good, and whites and Indians did not have the habit of saving money like Chinese. They should enjoy life when they had money, so the currency circulation was very good and the market was very healthy.

In terms of diplomacy, because there is still one British man left in North America, he has not yet contacted other forces. Ijik's three thousand subordinates on Jeju Island have also begun to withdraw one after another. New sailboats have begun to build keels, and these people have to become the second group of navy. Needless to say, the British have made up their minds to fight with the company. The colonial nobles were unwilling to offend the company, nor did they dare to refuse the local demands openly, and just waste it.

Ninety percent of all Indian tribes that were still in North America began to merge with the company. Some small tribes that rely on themselves to survive the winter had already joined their clans. Some leaders of the large tribe were a little selfish, but they could not stop the people's desires. The terrible military companies annexed them. Those who really didn't want to integrate into the company did not choose to fight with the company, but took their clan members deep into the mainland, and two tribes went to South America.

New towns rise from the ground, and at least one battalion of militia will be trained in a town, and the hostile forces behind the company are getting weaker and weaker. In less than a month, not to mention attacking the company's settlements, it would be good to escape the encirclement of militia. This would make the British very uncomfortable. Even if they want to find allies to attack the company's front and back, it would be impossible. The 75mm artillery is continuously produced. Now, in addition to meeting the needs of naval ship modification, each field brigade is equipped with a mountain artillery battalion and a rapid-fire artillery battalion, and a temporary artillery battalion of thirty cannons.

The people in the field brigade have fully mastered the performance of the three types of Type 56 guns, and their combat effectiveness is no less than that of the Chinese Army in the mid-20th century. The people in the garrison brigade, one brigade and one regiment, have all replaced the Type 56 guns. As the main elite assault regiment, they are now intensifying training. The garrison brigade also has an artillery battalion with a total of fifty guns, but thirty of them are assaulter one-type mortars, plus ten two-type mortars, only ten are 75mm artillery.

As for militia, there is no share in the Type 56 Gun tribe and 75mm artillery, but the brand new Yanhuang One-style rifle barrel is enough, and the squad leader also began to use the company's imitation Mauser pistol. A brigade and a battalion people equipped a large number of submachine pistols retired from the garrison brigade. The people in the garrison brigade naturally switched to the submachine guns retired from the field brigade. The Assault One-style mortars were equipped with ten balls. With thirty light and heavy machine guns, the firepower was enough.

The most powerful are the personal guard regiment and the Ye Owl Special Reconnaissance Battalion, all replaced with the Type 81 Gun Clan. The Type 59-1 tanks and Type 85 armored vehicles, and they also began to enter the weapon shooting training stage. The Navy also formed a fleet of thirty warships supplemented by sailing ships and mainly armored ships. The firepower is no weaker than that of the British fleet of nearly 60 warships. If missiles were used, those ships would probably not even be seen from the enemy and would be sent to the seabed, but it would be impossible for a short time.

The company is so powerful that Xiao Lin felt that the British didn't need to be annoying here anymore. Relying on the 30,000 troops who had just arrived in the local area, they began to tease the company's whiskers, keeping them was annoying. The old saying goes, "How can others sleep peacefully on the side of the bed?" The territories on both sides are so close to the ground, and sooner or later they will decide the winner and defeat. There is no possibility that they will live in peace. The meeting was very successful, and more than a thousand people clearly expressed their wishes. Finally, the combat plan to conquer the North American continent was passed unanimously.

On January 8, 1726, when the seven-day Spring Festival holiday ended, the company's 40,000 field and garrison soldiers would take the initiative to start a full-scale war against the British North American colonies. This time, it will no longer be a simple thing, but will be the ultimate goal of completely eliminating the British's strength on the North American continent. Those who can surrender in time can also receive treatment for civilians. Those who dare to resist stubbornly, those who are not dead after defeating will be arrested and thrown into the mine for labor reform.

The specific content of the resolution is only known by more than one thousand people, and the others know that the company is preparing to take action. Xiao Lin just relaxed for the first two days. From the third day, he coordinated supplies and prepared for the war with Yu Xiao and Qu Jun. The staff members also returned to their posts early. Since the 3rd, they have been discussing feasible combat plans. Finally, they selected the plan and improved it on the night of the 7th. The orders began to be issued, and the brigade commanders of the field brigade and the garrison brigade were nervous. It was not fear, but cautious.

The British are not aware of this. After so long contact with the company, they also know that the company will relax for seven consecutive days during Christmas and Spring Festival, which means they have at least seven days of buffering. Now, the nobles are still busy arguing with the local generals. As expected, the locals require them to deliver half of the Hall m1819 and heavy punches to 30,000 reinforcements in one style. Some of the little nobles are fine, but there are not many, and half are not too many.

The worst of the great nobles like Lin Man is the private army equipped with these weapons. It is okay to not twist the arms of the thighs, but they have to give some compensation. The money brought by the army is not enough, so, as expected, the local people are issued a blank check. These nobles have sealed a lot of land and a lot of official positions in India. Tell me, even if you want a fief, it will be closer to the local people and have a stronger control. India, the British have not yet completely conquered them, so there are not many people who resist, it is just too desolate.

Good places have been occupied by others, and now they are not the early stage of conquest. You can rob the high caste people in India. Just those poor people, how much oil and water can be squeezed out after they squeeze. The land is still unfinished, and they need to organize their own personnel to reclaim them. I won’t talk about the official position. When they arrive in India, they can control you as much as they want. If you arrange you to a poor yamen, you can’t do anything. So, both sides just slapped. Everyone wants to get enough money rewards, but the money they bring is just that little.

If it weren't for the united nobles and their private troops were too strong, they might have been robbed. This debate continued until they received news that the troops of the Yanhuang Trading Company of the opposite side began to assemble. Now, everyone panicked. After the local generals moved Lin Man to smooth things out, the nobles who were not on the front line reluctantly handed over a batch of muskets and artillery, which was about one-third of their own. Then, 30,000 local British troops immediately set out and entered the battlefield.
