Chapter 610 The arrival of the Iron Age (3)
Chapter 610 The Armor Age (3)
It didn't take long for the fleet of the United States of America to leave the East Coast. The hidden pieces and hidden threads of the Chinese Empire were informed, and the Spaniards were happy to hand over the news to the Chinese Empire.
What can be confirmed in the end is that the United States of America sent a powerful expeditionary fleet, with its number of warships reaching more than one-third of the entire United States of America's navy, and they are all large warships that can be far away. Well, nonsense, from the east coast of the New World to the west coast, this distance, the unpredictable wind and waves and weather on the way are not something that small boats and ships can withstand.
It can be said that this fleet gathered the elites of the American Navy, through the intelligence stations on the East Coast and the help of the Spaniards, so they were very clear about the whereabouts of this United States of America fleet.
Now, the fleet had bypassed Cape Horn and was coming toward the west coast. What these poor people did not expect was that a huge fleet had made all preparations and was waiting for them to take the initiative to consciously enter a long-designed trap.
What the United States fleet did not expect was that their compatriots, the land expeditionary force, had not long since left the territory of the United States of America and marched westward, and when they advanced to the lower reaches of the Missouri River in the central lowlands, a military force composed of Japanese under the Chinese Empire began to launch a strong attack on them, causing the expeditionary force to suffer considerable setbacks.
Before the expeditionary force could touch the west coast, it had already lost more than a thousand elite United States soldiers. Just as the expeditionary fleet was passing through the Gulf of St. Matthias in the Southern New World, members of the United States of America had received a letter of help from Major General Morgan, the expeditionary force commander.
In his letter, Major General Morgan described the Eastern Army that was fighting with him as an army of terrible and ignorant demons. Those with strange heads, holding scimitars in their hands, wearing strange armor made of bamboo and leather, wearing hideous masks and helmets, screaming and screaming as the Eastern people who rushed out of the forest looked very short, but extremely cruel, and often fought to the death.
Moreover, they also own a certain number of firearms, but their firearms are old and even some of the mesh guns that were completely abandoned as early as the mid-century.
These Orientals were not as reckless as those Yin Di'an people. They were more sinister and vicious, and at least several times the number of the Expeditionary Force. This made Major General Morgan, the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force, finally put away his contempt and observed his opponents with a cautious and serious attitude.
After several terrible ambushes, he realized that if this continues, it is very likely that the Expeditionary Force will be dragged down by its Eastern opponents by relying on the advantage of the crowd. So Major General Morgan finally made a decision to ask Congress for help.
His military newspaper and letter of aid were soon placed on the desks of the senators of Congress, which made the proud members of the United States of America realize the fact that their enemies were definitely not barbarians with big swords and spears, but a large number of Eastern troops with some firearms. The Congress of the United States of America started a new round of heated discussions. At this time, the President of the United States of America, Washington, sent the Chief Justice as the Special Envoy John Jay to the UK to negotiate, and returned to Philadelphia, and also brought a special envoy from London, England.
You should know that after the signing of the Paris Peace Treaty in 1783, although Britain recognized the independence of the United States, the two sides did not achieve true peace. The British stationed in the United States, the United States' privateer on Britain with the support of France, and the British looting of American ships to suppress the French Revolution brought the United States and Britain to the brink of war.
For this purpose, the President of the United States of America, Washington specially sent special envoy John Jay to the UK for negotiations, hoping that the two countries could give up such hostility. However, now, it represents the will of King George III of Britain and British Prime Minister William Pitt, an envoy of the will of British Parliament, William Wilberfos, a member of the House of Commons of the UK, and brought England and Geely expressed his willingness to ease U.S.-U.K. relations and resolve disputes between the two sides peacefully.
And after they heard the purpose of the envoy, they quickly understood why Britain made such a decision.
Because the British used their powerful colonial fleets and armies to plunder the rights and interests of Western colonial countries in the Eastern colonies, they used strong and arrogant means to plunder the rights and interests of those Western colonial countries, which aroused strong dissatisfaction and indignation from those colonial countries.
After that, the powerful Eastern pirate secretly connected and incited many European colonists to unite to deal with Britain's forces in the East. In the end, Britain's interests in the East were almost completely destroyed, and the huge and fertile Indian Peninsula became the spoils of the Western colonists.
Britain was very angry. Yes, both the King and Prime Minister William Xiao were very angry. In order to redeem the British colonial navy and army soldiers who were captured by the damn Eastern pirate, they had to humiliately sign the pirate's envoy's grimacing "Treaty of China-British London".
Although signing this payment can allow the British to redeem their soldiers, how could Britain, which has never suffered such a failure, be willing to accept such an ending?
Therefore, shortly after signing the treaty, the young and powerful British Prime Minister William Pete convinced Congress and King George III to send many special envoys to the East, with the intention of naturally hoping to regain Britain's interests in the East through various evil means.
Moreover, after learning that the Eastern pirate who had lost face in the British Empire had already purchased a large number of New World colonies from Spain, William Pete, Xiao, communicated with the Congress again. After difficult debate and persuasion, he finally made the Congress give up his partisan prejudice and temporarily with the United States of America, the hostile state of England, and its purpose is naturally self-evident...
Britain and Geely hope that both sides can give up hostilities, and that the United Kingdom will withdraw troops from the northwest of the United States before June 1, 1796, and Britain will compensate the losses of the American ships it plundered. In addition, the Mississippi River is open to Britain and the United States. In addition, the United States must prohibit US ports from equipping privateers against Britain, 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 goods such as cotton, cocoa, sugar, etc.; the two sides agreed to establish a joint committee to determine the border between the United States and British Canada...
The treaty aroused dissatisfaction and widespread debate among American MPs, because the terms of the treaty confirmed Britain's freedom of navigation inland rivers on the North American continent and its dominance in the West Indies trade, causing the United States to lose some of its interests in territorial sovereignty and trade.
However, it has to be admitted that the treaty allowed the United States and Britain to avoid the danger of another war in a short period after the end of the War of Independence, allowing the United States to temporarily remain outside the European war triggered by the French Revolution, and won a relatively peaceful international environment for the United States at the beginning of independence.
More importantly, the United States of America can focus more on the west coast, and more troops and energy to deal with the greedy and cruel Eastern colonists. This happens to be the ending that Britain most hopes to see.
In the view of the wise British Prime Minister William Pete, America will definitely work hard for its own living space. The Orientals' actions to unite the Yindians against Europe have touched the sensitive and fragile nerves of the United States of America, an emerging country that has just been established.
After tense and fierce quarrels and debates, the United States Congress of the United States of America agreed most of the conditions, but demanded the cancellation of trade terms on the West Indies. The agreement was approved by the U.S. Senate.
This treaty gave both sides a brief period of peace and relative stability. Although the members of the United States of America knew very well that the British were not satisfied with their kindness. The reason why they took the initiative to show goodwill was not that they hope that the United States of America could fight to the death with the Eastern colonists on the New World. However, even though they knew that the British had such a plan, the United States had to follow the British's ideas, because they were not Britain, but this was their motherland, and they had no way out on this land.
On the third day after the signing of the treaty, the United States of America urgently sent a reinforcement force of 12,000 people to the Expeditionary Force trapped in the lower Missouri River in the central lowlands, making the number of this expeditionary force far exceeding expectations.
However, what the Americans did not expect was that although the treaty temporarily gave the United States a relatively peaceful environment and had all their hearts to deal with Eastern colonists, the signing of this treaty angered France, which had an alliance with the United States of America, and caused the relationship between the two countries to deteriorate sharply.
However, the members of the United States of America, who have been attracted by the interests of the Eastern colonists and the West Coast, are not at the moment concerned about so much.
Zhang Xingba, former commander of the Nanyang Fleet, later because Liang Wengeng, the former commander of the New World Fleet, became the first governor of the New World Fleet, he took over as commander of the New World Fleet, and his position as commander of the Nanyang Fleet was transferred to Mo Guanfu, the former commander of the Nanyang Fleet Indian Ocean Squadron.
Zhang Xingba has been in the New World for more than a year. When he received the appointment letter from Liang Pengfei, Liang Pengfei told his favorite general about the situation that the New World Fleet would sooner or later fight against the United States of America fleet.
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 turn their eyes and gaze on the territory of the Chinese Empire.
"Do you smoke?" After entering the office, Zhang Xingba picked up a cigar box from the desk, took out a cigar as thick as a carrot and gestured at Zhang Baozai. The young man rolled his eyes and shook his head repeatedly: "I'm not yet an adult, so I can't smoke."
"Well, it's not good. I'm young, so I shouldn't have smoked this thing." Zhang Xingba smiled, lit one on his own, and started to smash it happily. The servant next to him had already brought tea and pastries.
