Chapter 259 Goodbye
On July 10, 1726, Boston, the capital of the British North American colony, had been surrounded by heavy siege. A total of 13,000 troops composed of white, black, yellow and Indians completely blocked the entire Boston side without the sea. The Yanhuang Trading Company and the troops of the entire Boston confronted each other, and the most violent conflict broke out at any time. The Yanhuang Trading Company's troops arrived five days ago. With the suppression of heavy artillery, they built continuous fortifications.
Both sides restrained a lot. The British lost land in the three consecutive months of battle. Fortunately, some of the troops were preserved. The nobles who did not want to join the company also cleaned up the gold, silver and fines and rushed to Boston. Boston was docked with the last British fleet, with a total of thirty warships including armed merchant ships. There were also many noble smuggling ships, which were also the same as armed merchant ships, but the number of artillery was much smaller. However, these warships did not make any preparations to fight.
Because they were afraid of being beaten. Ijik had already led the fleet of supplies to the near sea around Boston. Lin Man looked at them and tried to make the fleet that had been renovated to attack again. As expected, they were defeated again. The ironclad ships fired at any cost and sank the remaining battleships. The cruisers and frigates fled while Ijik and their strangled battleships. Now, all ships dared not leave the harbor easily. Without the help of the case defense cannon, they would be divided and swallowed again and again.
In the whole of Boston, there are 20,000 private troops and hundreds of regular troops from the British mainland led by Anderson. As the capital, there are many large-scale turrets, which are filled with heavy artillery of more than twelve pounds. The range is not short, and with the defense facilities built by large bricks and stones, there is no big way for heavy howitzers. Only continuous bombardment can cause damage. Therefore, Apache and others dare not launch an attack easily. Field brigade soldiers are not easy to train, and it is painful to sacrifice one.
Moreover, Xiao Lin had already given a notice that he personally commanded the battle. Xiao Lin's special car had already begun to come to Boston under the escort of the Tank Battalion. At noon today, Xiao Lin would arrive. Apache and three other brigade commanders gathered together to welcome Xiao Lin into the command post. Xiao Lin has been improving. In the past, the skills he learned in the army could conquer everyone. However, Xiao Lin has never been a commander and fighter of a large-scale ordinary army.
What Xiao Lin is most proficient in is the command and training of small-scale elite troops. The Night Owl Special Reconnaissance Battalion has been crushing the scouts of Britain, France and hostile Indian tribes because Xiao Lin has been guiding training, and the battalion commander Sam also got his true knowledge. As the number of troops in the company gradually increased, Xiao Lin also had to expand his knowledge. Fortunately, he had rich technical materials in the 21st century, and discussed with Yu Xiao, independently learned, and studied it.
Apache and the others have also been taught a lot of knowledge, but only a few commanders taught by self-study. Xiao Lin really couldn't rest assured that they were commanding the war. This was the last large-scale battle for the Yanhuang Trading Company to unify the entire North American continent. There must be battles later, but because the number of remaining enemies is too small, it is difficult to fight a scale of 10,000 people. On the morning of the 11th, Xiao Lin immediately commanded the troops to start.
Ten thousand troops left the trenches and began to walk towards Boston. Fifty heavy howitzers and 120 75mm caliber artillery also adjusted their firing angles and began to make final preparations. Unexpectedly, three gorgeously dressed people suddenly appeared on the top of Boston city, and a roar suddenly sounded on the battlefield.
"Mr. Xiao Lin, please come out and see you. We have something to talk about. There is no need to continue this battle."
Lin Man and the others did not have microphones and audio, so they could only rely on a large group of people to yell together to convey the sound. Xiao Lin heard the message and thought about it, and felt that he could talk. The British now only had Boston, and no matter how long it took, they could not make any waves. If they wanted to fight, they could start fighting at any time. However, when the cannon fired, it would cost ten thousand taels of gold. Especially the cannons, none of the shells were cheap, and all they fired were good steel and good gunpowder.
If Boston was finally able to take over peacefully, then Xiao Lin was still very happy. A Night Owl soldier sent a walkie-talkie to Boston. Xiao Lin was not afraid that they could imitate the walkie-talkie. At the company's level, they could not create the earliest walkie-talkie, let alone researching this latest walkie-talkie produced in China in the 21st century. As long as the British dared to disassemble it, they would definitely not be assembled back. Giving a walkie-talkie would make it easier to communicate.
In the middle of the battlefield, a tea table was set up, and Apache made people put some refreshments. Tea was a black tea fried from tea trees from the North American continent found by the company. Dim sum, a little military ration compressed biscuits, and found three flavors. It was extremely simple, but this was the only thing on the battlefield. Xiao Lin never allowed to make special contributions in the army, and all the rations were basically equal. The number of officers should be more, and the taste was still the same.
Boston is now in short supply, so it would be good to be able to eat enough. Xiao Lin brought a platoon of soldiers from the personal guard regiment over there, and Lin Man and the other two came over with thirty of the most elite private soldiers. This was the second time the two sides met, but for the first time, both sides left a good impression on each other. Xiao Lin's youthful and promiscuous and conscientious Lin Man and the other's accomplice are all things that impressed each other. However, this time, the image of Lin Man and the other two was really bad.
Although the three people were wearing extremely clean-looking aristocratic clothes, Xiao Lin saw that many gold and silver ornaments had disappeared. To this day, they must have paid a lot of money, and the money loss was very large. Moreover, the three people's faces were a bit sallow, unlike before, they looked fat and fat, like a fat pig. Xiao Lin really admired the three people. They could still give up the things outside when they should give up.
"Three, it's been a long time since we saw you. It seems a bit bad, judging from your appearance."
"This is true. Our current situation is indeed not very good. But you are still so energetic."
"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore, let's take a seat first."
"I haven't tasted your food for a long time. Boston is in short supply now."
Seeing the three of them quickly and gracefully eliminate the three refreshments in front of them, Xiao Lin couldn't help but laugh. He asked someone to add another one to them, and the three of them also found that their behavior was not good, and they smiled and restrained their posture.
"Okay, three, let's get to the point, why do you want me to come out?"
"Yes, you also know that it is absolutely absolutely necessary for us to choose to be an enemy of the company. We really have no way to disobey the local strict orders."
"Yes, I've known this a long time ago. It's not your fault to be able to fight."
Look at what he said, it seems that the battle was the British fault. In fact, the main reason was that Xiao Lin wanted to unify the North American continent. However, under the roof, his own power was weak, and Lin Man and the other two could only complain in their hearts.
"We three agreed that this war is no longer necessary to continue. All those who are hostile to the Yanhuang Trading Company have died in this war. You also know that Boston's defense is so strong that if it continues, there will be no benefit."
"Ok, I know all of this. I believe you also know that until now, it is impossible for the company to leave a Boston in the middle of our territory. So, I must get Boston. If you want to retain the rule of Boston, it will be completely impossible at that time."
"We understand this too, but we hope that your company's army can let go of a hole so that we can leave the North American continent."
"Oh, leave, go back to the UK?"
"It's not all. Many people still have to go to other colonies to develop, so they have to take away enough property."
"That's true. Actually, it's not impossible to let you go. But, I have a few small requests."
"Please say it."
"As for this, it is okay to take away some property, but you cannot do any malicious damage to all the real estate left behind. You nobles were doing beautiful things before, and you escaped and destroyed them all the way, but we chased and cleaned up all the way."
"Well, we will restrain the people below and ensure that we will leave you a complete Boston."
"Those two things are that you cannot take away any Hall m1819 rifles and heavy punches. As compensation, you can take away as much property as you can, and we will never set any obstacles. I also know that you secretly sent a group of people back to the UK for imitation, which violated our original contract agreement."
"Haha, let's do it, we agree with this condition."
Chapter completed!
