Speaking of it, it's the Canadians who don't know much about the current situation. At that time, everyone except the French had no radio, so the British fleet actually had no way to communicate with the British troops in Canada. Of course, the actions of the British have been reported in the newspapers of Louisiana. (Needless to say, the French portrays the British as if they were Mongolians)

But the problem is that Louisiana newspapers are also available in several larger cities such as New Orleans. And those places on the border between Louisiana and the United States and Canada are basically just small towns for farmers who grow the land. These small towns are actually just village scale. In many small towns, there is not even a sergeant riding a horse and carrying a large-caliber shotgun, let alone a newspaper.

Of course, in order to guard against Canadians, Americans, Indians, and French people who want to go sideways (whether they speak German or French), or to make it more clear, to prevent the residents of this town from being unfamiliar and unfamiliar. All Homo sapiens who trust, in every small town, there will be a phone. They are usually placed in the town hall. The only purpose of this phone is to call for help when under siege, or when other small towns are under siege, to mobilize militias to rescue. In addition, the **** Louisiana Telephone Company not only receives landline fees, but also charges according to the airtime, which is quite high. In this way, even if you have to communicate with the outside world, everyone is more willing to write letters. Although the postman in the city only came once more than half a month.

So the "French people" in these places are also blocked on news. Generally speaking, even if someone wants to read a newspaper or something, it usually takes more than half a month to come. If you want to say, only those heretics who believe in "revolutionary theology" and set up "collective farms" are more informed, because they have to communicate with the outside world frequently, so they have special postal points, and postmen pick up letters every day. Send letter. In addition, if something major happens, their comrades in well-informed areas are willing to use the phone to inform them.

Therefore, it is also impossible for Canadians to learn about the changing situation of the war from the "Frenches" who border them. Because those guys either know nothing like them, or are evil heretics, and God knows if what they are saying is true?

In addition, in the previous battle, the British also captured some American soldiers, and from them they also received news that British reinforcements had arrived and attacked the southern United States. But General Isaac Bullock doubted whether this news was true. He was worried that the Americans were unable to gnaw on his fortifications and had too many casualties during the offensive, so he used such false news to deceive him, so as to lure him to take the initiative to attack, and then use the ambush to defeat him.

"My friends, in the previous engagements, I was referring to the series of battles in Cleveland after we left Washington. In these battles, we used the advantages of defense and the lack of experience of the Americans to gain very good results. We can be sure that even in the end, the Americans can regain Cleveland by virtue of their overwhelming number of people. They will shed too much blood here and are unable to cause us trouble elsewhere.

If the news today is true, then the Americans will soon retreat. If we can seize the opportunity and pursue them, we may win a huge victory. However, we must also consider the possibility that our enemy has lost confidence in gnawing our defenses. So they use such a news to deceive us, or to encourage us. Let us leave the solid fortifications and take the initiative. So they have the opportunity to find a chance to defeat us in the field.

Now let us consider the actions we have taken and the possible gains.

If the news is true. Let’s think about it. Now our fleet should be moving north along the coastline. Taking into account the speed of the march, they retreat at this time and want to reinforce the coast. Time is also very tight. So if they retreat, they must move quickly. And this kind of retreat, the most taboo is that there are chasing soldiers behind. If this news is true, if we pursue them, we will gain a lot. Even if we can't defeat them, as long as we hold them back, it will be our greatest support to our fleet.

If the enemy wants to yin us. They will definitely set up an ambush on the way to retreat. He even thought of a way to hide an army secretly, trying to cut our back.

Now, we can have two options.

First, we can ignore them and continue to stay in the city. This approach is the safest. We now have a clear upper hand. Take a more prudent approach, firmly occupy the advantage and not give the Yankees a chance to comeback. In theory, this is also a good choice. But we all know that it is a pity to miss such an opportunity. In addition, it is difficult to say how long our fleet can stay in North America. Who knows if those French people will cause us any trouble.

Second, we can chase after the Americans who may retreat. If we fight well, we may achieve great success again. But if we are fooled and the news we get is false and a trap, then we may suffer a huge loss, and once we suffer a huge loss, the US army will take advantage of it to invade Canada, then our situation, The advantages we have accumulated these days will be gone. And the whole of Canada will be in danger. This risk is very big.

So, everyone, do you think, what should we do later? "General Isaac Bullock’s opponents said ~lightnovelpub.net~General, I think we don’t care about them and just keep Cleveland. If the fleet does come, even if we don’t attack, our The advantages are already very obvious. Even if the French are making any trouble, at least, the situation will not be too bad for a while. The fleet's attack on the United States and the supplies we get after the fleet arrives are enough to make The situation has stabilized and the advantage has been maintained. Even if the fleet leaves because of the French, we can maintain the advantage for a long time. The United States' national strength is also limited, and they cannot stand in a stalemate with us for a long time. At that time, they will admit defeat. So, I don't think we need to take risks at all." Another commander, Major General Sheldon replied.

Other British military officers also generally support this approach. This is also very understandable. First of all, the British Army has always been conservative. Moreover, these officers have won a lot of honors in the war, and continue to take risks. For them, the price-performance ratio is not high enough.

Therefore, "he will force him to be strong, I am like a breeze blowing on the hills and hills; he will let him go, I am like the moon shining on the river" has become a common choice.
