Chapter 459 Depressed Cavenster

Salvador, a city on the eastern coast of Brazil. It is also a very important port established by the US military in South America. At the same time, the South American US Army Command is also located here. It directly commands the 400,000 US troops and 100,000 Canadian troops in South America. The U.S. Army General Cavester served as the commander, the Army Lieutenant General Robert served as the Chief of Staff, and the Canadian Army Lieutenant General Brady served as the Deputy Commander. The U.S. and Canadian troops in South America have two main tasks. One is to encircle and suppress the remnants of the French army entrenched in the plateau and forest areas of northern South America. The other is to maintain the rule of the United States and Canada in South America and suppress the resistance of South Americans so that the United States and Canada can smoothly transport all kinds of materials exploited from South America back to China.

"General, there is an urgent telegram from Georgetown, claiming that they are being attacked by the French army." A major officer came to Cavester with a telegram.

"Go and find General Brady and General Robert. I will wait for them in the conference room. In addition, order General Borichard stationed in Paramari and General Dyna stationed in Cayenne to immediately send troops to support General Mike." Cavens Te ordered, frowning. He was very puzzled by this action of the French army. In his opinion, this action of the French army was really abnormal. The U.S. military has just mobilized more than 200,000 troops to carry out an encirclement campaign against the French army. Although it was finally forced to stop due to heavy rain for days, they also caused very heavy casualties to the French army. According to their speculation, the French army should be hiding in the mountains at this time, slowly licking their wounds.

In less than 10 minutes, Brady and Robert appeared in the conference room.

The two sat down separately, and Adjutant Cavester brought three cups of coffee, and then got straight to the point.

"An urgent battle report has just come from Georgetown. The French are launching a surprise attack on Georgetown. Since the French army's attack is very sudden and their strength is much higher than that of the defenders, General Mike strongly requests support. I have ordered Richard Germany and Dana led the army to support." Cavenster said.

Hearing this news, both Brady and Robert frowned. Obviously, they didn't expect the French army to attack them again at this time.

"According to the situation we have, there should be less than 50,000 people left in the French army. At this time, they are not resting, but actively attacking. This is too puzzling." Brady said.

"The commander of this French army is a famous French general, Marshal Davout, who was famous in Europe as early as Napoleon's time. He is a famous general with rich experience. I think the army's move must have some deep meaning." Robert also thought Said for a while. Over the years, in the hands of Davout, they have suffered a lot.

"I also think there must be something hidden in it. Damn the intelligence department, why didn't we get any information at all in advance?" Cavenster cursed. He is now a powerful figure in the U.S. Army. Chief of Staff Zominsk once told him that as long as he can pacify South America as soon as possible, the position of the head of the Army Department will be his. The current head of the Army Department, Admiral Henry, has already reached the age of retiring. It's just that a suitable successor has not been found for a while, so Henry has always been in charge of the Ministry of War. For Cavenster, this is definitely a very rare opportunity, but because he has been unable to eliminate the French army entrenched in northern South America, that position has always been far away for him.

"General Cavenster, in fact, this may not be an opportunity for us. If we grasp it well, maybe we can solve all the French troops entrenched in the north once and for all." Brady said suddenly.

"Oh? What's your plan?" Cavester asked, his eyes flashing.

"The French army doesn't have many troops now, and they are now sending a large army to attack Georgetown, so there will definitely not be many troops left behind on the Guyana plateau. We can take this opportunity to send troops to attack the Guyana plateau and strive to clear the Guyana plateau. French army. At that time, even if the French army has any conspiracy, after losing the Guyana plateau, they will not be able to compete with our hundreds of thousands of troops." Brady said with a smile.

"However, our army has just withdrawn to rest, and there is no extra troops to send to the north to fight. Even if we send troops there now, it will take a certain amount of time to arrive. And this period of time is obviously full of many variables. " Robert said with some concern.

Cavester didn't speak, and fell into deep thought, considering whether he should follow Brady's advice. If successful, the end of the French army is not far away. But if this is a conspiracy by the French army, then they will definitely suffer huge losses again. Therefore, he was a little hesitant.

"General, this is a very rare opportunity! Now the total strength of the French army does not exceed 50,000. If we can make good use of this opportunity, the end of the French army will come." Brady looked at Cavester a little After hesitating, he quickly persuaded him.

Cavenster thought: "Yes! This is a very rare opportunity. If you miss it, you don't know when you will encounter such a good opportunity. Anyway, there are less than 50,000 French troops left, and Our army plus the allied forces still have 500,000 people, which is ten times as many as theirs, so why are we afraid that they will cause some troubles?"

"Pass my order. All the troops stationed in Manaus and Obidos will attack the Guyana plateau. The main force of the French army must be driven out of the plateau area. In addition, quickly organize 100,000 troops, Divide into two groups, one with 50,000 people, one to support Manaus and Obidus' attack on Guyana, and the other to support Georgetown." Cavester gave the order. He is not a procrastination person, after making up his mind, he immediately started to act.

"Yes, General." Brady and Robert took orders. Now that Cavester has made a decision, the two of them don't need to continue to make suggestions, they just need to try their best to implement Cavester's order.

Cavenster's order was quickly conveyed. After receiving his order, the 100,000 U.S. troops who were originally stationed in the southern Amazon Plain for rest and reorganization began to act immediately.

After giving the order, Cavester stood in front of the map and remained silent for a long time.

It wasn't until noon that Robert's arrival brought him back to his senses.

"General, we have received bad news. Georgetown has fallen, and Brigadier General Mike is leading more than 2,000 remnants of the army to flee to the north." Robert said with a disturbed expression.

"What, Georgetown fell in just half a day. What the **** is that stupid pig Mike doing? I'm going to court him!" Cavester roared angrily.

Robert stood aside, bowing his head in silence.

However, bad news came back one after another. First, the U.S. troops going north from Paramaribo were blocked by a large number of French troops on the south bank of the Colantyne River, unable to advance. Later, the U.S. troops went north from Manaus. Due to the heavy rain for several days, all the roads were washed away and turned into quagmire. A large number of heavy weapons are all stuck on the road, unable to move forward. Then there were more than 20,000 American troops heading north from Obidos. Due to the surge of the Trombetas River, their way forward was completely blocked.

The continuous bad news almost drove Cavenster crazy.

"General, I think all of this must have been calculated by the French army. I think they will definitely make some big moves next." Robert expressed his worries.

Cavenster thought for a while, and finally ordered the garrisons of Manaus and Obidus to withdraw. But the troops marching from the eastern coast must speed up their attack and must recapture Georgetown. Cavenster thought, no matter how bad it is, he must drive all the French troops back to the Guyana Plateau. After the weather improves, try to wipe out all the French troops even if you have to pay huge losses.

Even though Cavenster gave Richard and Dana two death orders, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, but they were still unable to break through the blocking of the French army. It was not until the French army voluntarily withdrew after 5 days that they were able to cross the Corantyne River and reoccupy Georgetown.

On July 2, when the French transport fleet arrived in Georgetown. That afternoon, Cavenster also got the news. At this time, he suddenly realized why Davout would attack Georgetown at this time. He quickly reported the news to the country, and asked the country to send the navy to assist the army in attacking Georgetown, but it was obviously too late. The U.S. Navy has only three fleets in the western part of the South Atlantic, and because the defense zone is too large, they are scattered widely. To confront the huge **** fleet of the French transport fleet, at least all three of their fleets must be assembled. And this is definitely impossible without 10 days and a half months.

After getting a reply from the navy, Cavester had no choice but to pin his hopes on his own army. However, the French army successfully intercepted the U.S. troops who were trying to go north on the Corantyne River, so Cavenster had to watch the French army receive a large amount of supplies and soldiers.

Seeing a large amount of supplies being continuously transported back to the Guyana plateau, a gratified smile appeared on Davouta's old face. Moreover, Davout was very satisfied with the 60,000 supplementary soldiers given to them by the General Staff. These 60,000 people are almost the elite of the French reserve force. Due to Xiao Jie's order, they were all replenished to Davout's French 1st Army.
