Chapter 227 North America's Progress

The day after Louise woke up, she went to Rocks' mansion.

"Rocks, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother is so polite. If you have anything to do, just call me to the Palace of Worry-free. Your Highness, please come in person. I am really scared."

Rocks said with unusual respect, but his respect made Louise feel a little bored. Of course, Louise didn't show anything on her face.

"Your Excellency Rox, it doesn't have to be like this. As the Prime Minister of Prussia, you are the pillar of Prussia. It is also appropriate for me to come to see you."

Louise, who was smiling slightly, gestured and then continued:

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister must have known about Gnod's matter for a long time."

"Why did your Highness say this? It was only when Your Majesty was handling the Gnod case that I realized that this Gnod is really abominable. He actually ignored the interests of Prussia for his own selfish purposes. This kind of person should have been here for a long time."

kill"

Rocks said very firmly, but this kind of determination was very harsh in Louise's ears, especially Rocks's last sentence, which said that Prussia was not concerned about his own selfish interests. In Louise's opinion, this sentence was absolutely

It means something.

"Okay, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Gnod really deserves to die, otherwise His Majesty would not have executed him."

Louise suppressed the excitement in her heart and said calmly, but after hearing this, Rocks said:

"Your Royal Highness the Queen Mother, I believe that Gnod is not the only one who deserves death. Those who ignore the interests of Prussia should be sentenced to death!"

"Rocks!"

Louise couldn't help it anymore, she stood up and shouted loudly, but Rocks didn't take it seriously in the face of Louise's loud shouting. Seeing this, Louise had to sit down again and said:

"I was rude just now, Mr. Locks, I'm really sorry."

Louise's low posture meant nothing but a nod from Rocks. Rocks accepted Louise's apology quite calmly, but his behavior made Louise secretly bite her to pieces.

Got silver teeth.

"Your Excellency Rocks, I am here to discuss with you this time. Your Majesty is now a British monarch. Should you and I propose to the Parliament to remove the regent?"

Louise's words set off waves in Locks' mind. Although Locks did not fulfill the responsibilities of the regent, with such a hat on his head, no one in Prussia could do anything to him. Although except for those who were thoughtful, no one could do anything to him.

I have basically forgotten that there is such a thing as a regent.

"Of course, since Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother said so, I also believe that the original resolution is no longer in line with Prussia's current national conditions. His Majesty William is a wise monarch. This is the consensus of the entire Europe. I believe that Your Majesty can lead Prussia to the top."

After thinking for a while, Rocks made up his mind. Although Louise came this time on her own initiative, there was no guarantee that she would not have communicated with others about this. And if he vetoed Louise's proposal, he would definitely make this happen.

Put a regent's hat on his head. Once William gets the news, he will face William's wrath.

This is not a cost-effective deal for Rocks. It is not cost-effective to make William hate him for a regent. Moreover, William now has control of the army. With the support of the army, William's status is unshakable.

of.

Louise was surprised now. She didn't expect Rocks to agree so easily. No matter what she wanted to do, Rocks would never take off the Regent hat. After all, there are so many benefits to this hat. But

Now that Rocks has given a reply, no matter what Rocks thinks, Louise has no choice but to respond first.

"Since your Excellency also thinks so, why don't we explain it to the parliament as soon as possible, which will save a lot of trouble."

"Yes. I agree with His Highness's opinion."

After saying that, there was a weird atmosphere between the two, and Louise couldn't stand it at first.

"Since your Excellency has agreed to this matter, I will take my leave now."

"Farewell to Your Highness. By the way, I would like to remind Your Highness that Prussia is supreme, and anyone who infringes on Prussia's interests will be my enemy."

After speaking, Rocks saluted Louise, and Louise's face suddenly turned blue and white when she heard the second half of Rocks' words.

"This sentence is also exactly what I want to say, hum."

After saying that, Louise turned around, shook her head, and left.

Looking at Louise's back in the distance, Rocks' eyes looked a little cold.

After Louise returned to Sanssouci Palace, she told William the news about Rox's promise. Although Louise tried her best not to let her bad mood show on her face when she spoke, William still noticed the frown from time to time.

Louise felt uneasy in her heart.

Soon, in late June, the Prussian Parliament approved the request of Louise and Locks and canceled the regent's duties. Now William was truly liberated.

Although it has experienced Morak's rebellion and the war with the Russians, in the partition of Poland, Prussia also obtained the land and population it dreamed of. In this way, the cost and benefit are basically equal. Now William still has one thing in his heart.

Heart knot, that is North America.

The last news Bruneker sent back stated that the North American Continental Congress had transferred elite troops and strong generals to be commanded by Washington in the hope of breaking the deadlock in the northern region. The date has almost been set for the situation in North America.

The time has entered 1782. Britain and France have become a little exhausted due to the protracted war for world hegemony. However, the war has reached this point and it is no longer easy to retreat. The attack of the French and Spanish coalition forces in Gibraltar once made the United Kingdom very anxious.

In the Mediterranean, due to the limited energy of the British, the Fortress of Saint-Philippe in Minorca, an island in the western Mediterranean, was captured by the French army. Not only that, France also had the upper hand in the battles for the West Indies and Sri Lanka, which made it even more difficult.

The British were angry that the French actually landed in Canada and captured several British forts.

For this reason, the northern British army led by Clinton had to send one unit to Canada to cooperate with the Canadian British army to resist the French attack. After dividing one unit, Clinton only had more than 7,000 British troops left.

Clinton and his more than 6,000 British troops adopted a contraction policy and deployed the defense line in an area centered on Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After learning the news about Clinton's division of troops, Washington was overjoyed.

He cheerfully said to the members of the Continental Congress:

“I have never felt that God’s care is so close to us.”

The situation at that time was that the French army was okay because of the protracted war, but the Continental Army composed of militiamen was already somewhat overwhelmed. Although Washington captured several small towns, the battles that did not play a decisive role made the army's

Morale cannot be raised at all.

It was because he saw that Washington's attack was somewhat weak that Clinton sent troops to the north to resist the French. Otherwise, the troops at hand would have been stretched thin, and Clinton would not have been able to send troops even if he wanted to.

But what Clinton didn't expect was that on the fourth day of the division of troops, Washington led the Continental Army to Philadelphia. Along the way, Washington ignored those towns that were still under the rule of the British army. He had only one goal.

That is Philadelphia. From Washington's perspective, as long as Clinton is eliminated, then he can lead his army south to deal with Bruneck's Prussian-British coalition and crush it with a great victory. The victory of the Continental Army is in sight.

With this idea in mind, after arriving in Philadelphia unexpectedly, the Continental Army launched an attack on Philadelphia.

The fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce. In just ten days, thousands of soldiers from both sides were killed. It was at this time that Clinton ordered a letter asking for help to be delivered to Bruneck.

After receiving Clinton's letter asking for help, Bruneck immediately organized his army and rushed north non-stop. In his opinion, although Washington's attack was very fierce, Clinton's men could still hold on for a while just on defense.

Alright.

The facts are close to what Bruneker thought. Although the British army is somewhat disadvantaged in the world war situation, it is slightly better than the original history. The British navy still has the upper hand in the Atlantic. In this way, the British navy with its back on the Atlantic

Clinton received naval support.

Although the Navy could not send soldiers on land to help Clinton resist the Continental Army's attack, the Navy's warships could sail into the Delaware River and use the cannons on the warships to teach the lawless Continental Army a lesson.

In this way, although Clinton's defense line seemed to be in danger, it was still able to hold on. Clinton's defense line could hold on, but Greene of the Southern Continental Army could not hold on.

The Southern Continental Army he led had been able to withstand Bruneck's Prussian-British coalition attack for nearly ten days. After deploying 7,000 men, Green only had more than 10,000 men in hand. In the fierce battle that followed,

Greene's troops also suffered heavy casualties. Now there are only more than 6,000 southern American troops under Greene's troops.

In order to confuse Greene's troops on the opposite side, although the army led by Bruneck was flying the banner of the Prussian-British coalition, because Clinton was in a hurry, Bruneck asked Cornwallis to lead the British troops to land.

Board the ship and head to Philadelphia.

After the British army left, the Prussian army led by Bruneck became more and more fierce. Although Green and Bruneck can be regarded as old rivals, the Continental Army under Green was not so good.

Although these continental armies have experienced many battles, the reason why Green was able to fight back and forth with Bruneck before was because he had a French army under his command, but now the French army has left and gone to the north.

, relying solely on Green’s group of people plus the disadvantage of military strength, it is really beyond the power!
