Super Chief

Chapter 676: give up

In the following days, Stone Bear will live in Norfolk.

   He even sent someone to take his family over, and all matters of going to Beijing were presided over by Joe La Krulu.

   Although Shangjing is located inland and is the central area of ​​this continent, it is far away from the coastline. Today, the British have decided to abandon the Thirteen Colonies. Although the coalition forces of France, Spain, and the Netherlands are incapable of fighting with the British on the Atlantic beyond the Strait of Gibraltar, they have almost sent all their fleets to the British. Gibraltar is different. Both the French and the Spaniards have plenty of energy.

Britain in this era is far from the empire that the sun never sets a few decades later. The current Britain has only discovered many colonies, but has not yet begun to plunder many colonies. The country’s financial resources are not enough to support it at the same time. Allied forces of the three countries.

   The British can only go all out, while the French and Spaniards can open up a second battlefield, which is the New World of North America.

   The French wanted to retake New France, while the Spaniards wanted to continue to expand their colony on the North American continent.

   Anyway, everything is for profit. In the face of huge interests, there is no need for such things as faces.

  Because the British main fleet was pinned down in Gibraltar, the French and Spanish warships and merchant ships could sail on the Atlantic without any scruples.

   This situation made Shi Xiong realize that the War of Independence should be about to end.

   Although there are still a lot of British troops in the New World in North America at this time, their supplies are not much. On the other hand, the Continental Army, after they received the support of the Fazi, now the Continental Army can firmly suppress the British army.

   In this situation, Shi Xiong is also helpless.

   In fact, it is very rare for a war to reach this point. The entire ten-year war not only consumed a lot of British manpower, material and financial resources, but the Continental Army also couldn't sustain it.

   There is no one, no money, no food. Who else can fight this war? They are not robots. Not to mention that even the robot needs to be charged and maintained...

   The most important thing is that after ten years of long war, both the British and the Continental Army have become very tired of this war.

   In such a situation, even if Stone Bear alone undertakes the supplies of both parties, it is impossible for the war-weary soldiers to fight again.

   In other words, if nothing happens, this war should be over soon. Perhaps at this time next year, this war that has killed more than 100,000 casualties will be completely ended with a single contract.

In the original historical time and space, the War of Independence caused about 70,000 casualties to the British and Continental Army. But in this time and space, because of the stone bear, the War of Independence not only lasted a long time, but also the number of casualties on both sides. More than 30,000 more casualties than the original historical time and space!

   The war has dragged down the British and almost drained the Continental Army.

   So, by this time, the war has come to an end.

  It is for this reason that Shixiong decided to live in Norfolk for a period of time.

   Because once the war is over, the independence of the United States will be recognized by the European powers, and then the United States will emerge.

   Ishikuma is absolutely impossible to allow this to happen! This is the territory of the Yanhuang tribe, and the entire North American continent and even Central America will also be the territory of the Yanhuang tribe.

  My territory, why are you Europeans occupying it!

   If you Europeans just want to live here, I welcome you. But if you want to build a country here, have you asked Lao Tzu's opinion?

   Therefore, as long as the European powers dare to recognize the independence of the United States, then it is time for the Yanhuang tribe to take action.

   Of course, before that, the Yan and Huang tribes must show their attitude and prepare for the upcoming war.

   Therefore, as the great chief of the tribe and the spiritual leader of the tribe, Stone Bear must be on the front line at this time!

   The year 1785 is destined to become an extraordinary year.

   And the facts also confirmed Shi Xiong's guess.

   After cutting off the supply from the homeland, the British Army in North America immediately withered. They no longer take the initiative to attack, but retreat to the five port fortresses of New York, Yorktown, Jamestown, Charleston and Savannah, and even Philadelphia, which has been occupied for eight years, the British army has given up.

  The most important thing the British army wants to do is to wait for the ships from the mainland, and then transport themselves back to the mainland safely.

The British army did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, they gave up a large number of towns they had previously captured. Therefore, the mainland drama immediately became rampant. They quickly occupied the towns abandoned by the British army, and then concentrated their main forces. Instead, they surrounded the five port cities where the British army had retreated. stand up.

   Of course, if you want the Continental Army to take the initiative to attack these five heavily stocked port cities, they dare not.

   For this kind of sake, the Continental Army is already at the end of the battle, and they have no strength to launch this kind of city battle. They can only trap these British troops and wait for the British ships to come and pick them up, so that they can occupy the five port cities without blood.

  Stone Bear is sitting in Norfolk under such circumstances, watching the development of the situation.

   July 21, 1785~lightnovelpub.net~The main fleet of the Royal Navy broke through the blockade of the three-nation combined fleet for the fifth time, and once again successfully sent supplies to the fortress of Gibraltar. Subsequently, the Kingdom of Spain announced its withdrawal from the offensive and defensive battle for the Gibraltar Fortress that had lasted six years.

   This means that the Spaniards can no longer capture the fortress of Gibraltar.

   Afterwards, the Fazi Dutch fleet announced its dissolution, and the remaining warships went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.

This space-time battle of the Gibraltar Fortress, which lasted for nearly six years, was far more fierce than the original historical space-time battle that lasted only three and seven months. The four countries that participated in the war were all consumed in this war. It's almost there, they can't hold on anymore.

  Because of the dissolution of the combined fleet of the French and Dutch fleets, the British Royal Navy's main fleet was released. After urgent maintenance, some of the lightly damaged warships immediately embarked on the route to North America.

On September 19, 1785, the British army abandoned the southernmost port city of Savannah. Twelve British armed merchant ships arrived in Savannah under the protection of six three-tier sailing battleships, and took away those stationed in Savannah. Seven thousand two hundred British soldiers.

   At the end of November of the same year, under the protection of warships, another group of armed merchant ships took away 5,800 British soldiers stationed in Charleston, and Charleston was taken over by the Continental Army.

   On March 22, 1786, the British army abandoned New York. The 27,000 British soldiers stationed in New York were picked up by local ships in three batches...
