Although in the end, the meeting did not discuss a practical way to deal with the Russians, this did not prevent the high-ranking rebels from leaving the meeting room with their heads held high. The main reason was that the number of Russian troops was small after all. Even if
The Russian army's combat effectiveness is very strong, but the senior officials believe that with the advantage of the rebel army's human sea, the Russian army can be exhausted even if it is exhausted. The second half of this meeting was also about who will fight the Russian army.
The subject of consumption opened up a quarrel.
After being the leader for a period of time, even the people who were once most concerned about the country and the people have now become extremely powerful. It is obvious that Poland is in a very chaotic period now, and the people they have in their hands are the only ones they can
As long as they have men and horses, they can enjoy a luxurious life that they could not enjoy before, so no one of them is willing to use the men and horses in their hands to consume the Russians.
Seeing this scene, Jewski had no good solution. From Jewski's heart, he was very clear about the thoughts of these leaders, because at this time he was the same as everyone present.
, regards the men and horses in his hands as his lifeblood. If he were to meet Kulichkov again now, he would definitely not be as bold as the previous time.
But things always have to be done, and at the end of the discussion, the proposal proposed by Jewski and agreed by everyone present was passed. Jewski proposed to draw from one hundred to one thousand people from each uprising team.
Forming an Einsatzgruppe. One of the meanings of the existence of this Einsatzgruppe is to constantly cause trouble near the enemy just like Jevsky did to Kulichkov, while at the same time harassing the enemy's logistics lines and roads. Of course.
Another significance is that if the Russian army attacks any rebel team, this Rangers team must rush to the scene as soon as possible to support the task of firefighters.
Of course, such a proposal was approved by the majority of people. Since no one is willing to lead all the troops to fight the Russians, it is very necessary to establish such a special force.
If the Russians take the initiative to attack a certain insurgent team when they are unprepared, it is not difficult to ensure that other insurgent teams will die without saving them. Therefore, everyone is very happy to allocate a little strength to form a team that can save their own lives at critical moments.
of.
While the rebels were busy preparing for their upcoming unknown fate, William also received news from the North American continent.
In March, the last expeditionary force sent by Prussia to the North American continent landed on the North American continent. The arrival of this support force greatly encouraged the British and Prussian troops on the North American continent. The arrival of this support force also made Count Bruneck
The number of troops on hand reached nearly 16,000.
Even with the arrival of Prussian reinforcements, the situation on the North American continent is still not optimistic. Before the reinforcements arrived, the strength of the Southern Continental Army, supported by the French and Western Allied Forces, jumped to 20,000, while in the north the Continental Army led by Washington
The main force of the army was still playing hide-and-seek with Clinton. But because of this, Clinton's more than 10,000 British troops were completely dragged north.
Facing the pressure of 20,000 enemy troops. The total number was only more than 12,000. The British-Prussian coalition fought very hard. But they finally persisted. Of course, this also paid some costs, such as the fall of North Carolina.
The fall of North Carolina had an extremely huge impact on the entire battlefield, because after the Continental Army captured North Carolina, the north and south of North America had been cut apart, and the Bruneke-Prussian-British coalition forces in the south
Land access to Clinton's British army in the north was cut off.
Although Count Bruneker was determined to organize a battle in the hope of severely damaging the Continental Army, but with the help of French officers, the Continental Army learned the truth and no longer march blindly. The cautious Continental Army left Count Bruneke with nothing but help.
Hu Naihe.
This situation did not improve until the arrival of reinforcements. After the arrival of reinforcements, the strength of the British-Prussian coalition finally surpassed that of the Continental Army. Of course, this advantage was not so obvious, but it was obvious that this had given hope to the British-Prussian coalition.
After that, Bruneck made plans to concentrate his forces to eliminate the French army in the Continental Army in response to the current situation. Although the Continental Army developed greatly during the North American War, there was still a certain gap between it and the armies of the first-class European countries.
gap, so in order to widen the disadvantage of the Continental Army, Bruneck pointed his finger at the French army in the subsequent war.
It is undeniable that the French army is indeed relatively powerful. Several of Bruneck's attacks were resisted by the French army. Afterwards, the Continental Congress of North America held an emergency meeting. The result of the meeting was that the colonies in North America were once again defeated.
He summoned five thousand militiamen and sent them to the south.
However, although the Prussian-British coalition forces were insufficient in offense, they were quite capable in defense. Several battles ended in draws. As a result, the Continental Congress saw that it could not open up the situation in the south, so it turned its attention to the north again.
.
The Washington Department in the north had been playing hide-and-seek with the British army led by Clinton, and his hide-and-seek game was quite successful. Not only did he drag Clinton's British army back to the north, but what is even more commendable is that in
Although the superiority in military strength was not obvious, Washington also seized several towns from the British army, and this move also increased Washington's prestige in the Continental Congress.
Previously, Washington was quite dissatisfied with the Continental Congress's policy towards the South. After seeing that the Continental Congress had invested most of its power in the South, the South was unable to open up the situation. Even Greene, a US military in the South, suffered a big loss at the hands of Prussia.
, Washington delivered a speech in the Continental Congress.
In this speech, Washington believed that the reason why the South was unable to open up the situation was the intervention of the Prussian army. He believed that it was possible to temporarily delay the Prussians through diplomatic channels, and then devote all the energy of the Continental Congress to the North.
On the battlefield.
Washington firmly believed that as long as the Continental Congress could give him 10,000 reinforcements, he would be sure to completely wipe out the British army in the north. This idea also attracted some Continental Congress members who lived in the north.
However, Washington's opinion was opposed by Benjamin Franklin, another veteran of the Continental Congress.
On January 17, 1706, Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston, North America. In 1736, Franklin was elected secretary of the Pennsylvania State Assembly. In 1737, he was appointed deputy postmaster general of Philadelphia. From 1757 to 1775, he served as a representative of the North American colonies several times.
British negotiations. After the outbreak of the North American War, he participated in the Second Continental Congress and the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. In 1776, Franklin, who was already seventy years old, traveled across the ocean as an envoy to France, winning the French and European people's support for North America.
Support for the War of Independence.
The opposition of such a respected veteran figure was something Washington had not expected, but Washington was not discouraged. He explained to the Continental Congress: The North American War has now entered its most critical moment. After many years of fighting, regardless of
The areas under the control of the British army or the Continental Congress have been dragged into the abyss by the war, and the people are covered with wounds. The original promise made by the Continental Congress to the people has not yet been fulfilled. If the current situation does not improve, then maybe the people's
Support will drift away from the Continental Congress. At present, if you want to improve the situation, you must win a decisive victory, and the situation in the south cannot improve in a short time. The only way to break the current deadlock is to win a victory in the north.
A victory, and then swept the south with the momentum of the victory. (Due to the influence of the butterfly, Franklin, who was originally supposed to be in France, returned to North America early due to changes in the situation)
Washington's opinion is reasonable, but where will the reinforcements he requested come from? There is no doubt that the Continental Congress cannot recruit another 10,000 militiamen at the moment, so it will have to mobilize southern troops.
And Franklin also expressed his opinion: Now the Prussian army in the south has become a serious problem for the Continental Congress. Now the two sides are trying their best to fight in the south. If the Continental Congress now turns its focus to the north, it is difficult to guarantee that the situation in the south will not be stable.
There will be big changes, so in Franklin's view, if you want to improve the current situation, you must continue to send more troops to the south. After defeating the Prussian-British coalition forces in the south, they will join forces with Washington's Northern Army to launch a siege on Clinton's troops.
Franklin's opinion was also supported by some congressmen. Seeing this, Washington was extremely anxious. If Congress struggled for too long on whether to choose the South or the North, there was no guarantee that the British would not take the opportunity to overturn, so the Continental Congress must do something immediately.
Make a decision.
At this time, another important senator stood up. This senator was John Adams. Adams, who was born in 1735, was considered a young man in the Continental Congress, but this did not affect his greatness in the Congress.
Reputation, as Adams, who participated in drafting the Declaration of Independence like Franklin, undoubtedly had many supporters in Congress.
Because of the influence of William's butterfly, the North, which had been occupied by the US military, has not yet determined its ownership. As a Massachusetts native, Adams naturally hoped to completely rescue his hometown from the clutches of the British rulers.
So Adams made his choice without hesitation that day. He supported Washington's northern strategy, and his choice did affect some members of the Congress. With Jefferson abstaining from voting, Washington's proposal was passed, of course because
Franklin's dissatisfaction with Washington, Adams and other young people almost reached its peak. After the meeting, Franklin walked up to Washington and cursed Washington. He believed that Washington's move was completely lost.
watermelon.
Washington still showed good qualities in the face of Franklin's scolding. He said to Franklin: God will prove that our choice today is correct.
