Chapter 69 William's Thoughts (2)

In his previous life, William once read a chronicle of the North American Independence War:

In 1775, the War of Independence broke out: the 13-state militia failed to attack Canada. In 1776, the British increased their troops in North America. Washington led 18,000 troops to defend New York and was defeated by the British army. When he retreated across the Delaware River, only more than 4,000 people were left with him. France

and Spain began providing financial aid to the United States.

In 1777, the British army occupied Philadelphia, the seat of the Continental Congress. Washington tried to counterattack Philadelphia, but the troops actually opened fire on each other in the thick fog, and the counterattack failed. The U.S. military defeated a British army that went to sweep the interior and won the Battle of Saratoga.

.

In 1778, France recognized the independence of the United States and signed the Franco-American Alliance Treaty. The treaty stipulated that "France guarantees the independence of the United States and the territory determined at the end of the war with Britain." Subsequently, France declared war on Britain, and the French and British navies had many conflicts.

Naval battle; after the British government learned that the French fleet was dispatched to North America, it ordered the British army in Philadelphia to retreat to New York, and the US military "recovered" Philadelphia: the British occupied several strongholds in the West Indies and India; at the end of the year, the British army captured the important city of Sasha in Georgia.

In Vanner, the Continental Army lost more than 5,000 men.

In 1779, France occupied Saint Louis in Senegal and several islands in the West Indies; France and Spain formed a combined human fleet to prepare to attack the British mainland, and the British main force concentrated on defending the mainland: France and Britain engaged in multiple naval battles; the joint French-American attack on Savannah failed

.

In 1780, the British army captured the important city of Charleston in South Carolina; Britain and France had many naval battles in the West Indies; in July, the French special expedition force led by Rochambeau landed in Newport.

In 1781, the French attack on Jersey failed (this is an island in the English Channel, the only way for the French army to land on the British mainland); the French Grasse fleet came to North America and launched many battles with the British navy.

After gaining absolute control of the sea in the Chesapeake Bay, the French-American coalition forces, with the support of the Grasse fleet, forced the Yorktown garrison to surrender. The large-scale battle on the North American continent ended: the Spanish-French coalition occupied Pensacola, Florida.

In Lacheng, battles broke out many times between the French and British navies in the waters of the West Indies and Cape Verde.

In 1782, the French-Spanish coalition occupied the Fortress of Saint Philip in Minorca, an island in the western part of the Mediterranean Sea: France and France occupied many islands in the West Indies and Trincomalee in Sri Lanka: France and Britain had many naval battles along the coast of India: France

They occupied and destroyed many British fortresses in Canada; in Gibraltar, 33,000 French and Spanish forces launched a general attack on the British defenders and were repulsed.

In 1783, France and Britain launched a tug-of-war on land and sea in Cuddalore, India, and the British were defeated.

On September 3, 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed, and the war between France and Britain ended.

Therefore, the North American War was only a local battlefield of the Anglo-French World War, and the resistance wars in the North American colonies were just a stirring stick (sorry, that sounds a bit ugly). Of course, what William had to do was just to help Britain suppress the rebellion in North America, and more

Besides, the British are so generous.

Moreover, due to France's struggle for hegemony with the British around the world, France no longer has much power to continue to invest in the North American battlefield. Will France give up its colonies around the world for North America? The answer is of course no.

Therefore, William had full confidence in being able to suppress the colonies in North America.

Of course, William does not blindly believe that Prussia will win. William is a time traveler and not a peerless hero like Long Aotian. Although so far, every step he has made has not made any big mistakes, but

Perhaps just one mistake could bring Prussia to its knees.

Time soon came to November 1780, and William would leave for Warsaw today to participate in the joint talks between the three countries proposed by Catherine II.

When William informed Queen Louise that he was about to go to Warsaw, looking at her son, Louise felt that she was speechless.

Ever since William ascended the throne of the King of Prussia, his son seemed as if he was no longer his. He used to be able to have lunch with him, go for walks and so on. But now he stays in the study all day long, not dealing with political affairs.

Even though he was studying with his tutor, he didn't see William coming out much.

Thinking of this, all the words in Louise's heart turned into a sigh.

But Christine didn't know the reason for her mother's sigh. After hearing the news that William was going to Warsaw, Christine was very excited as if she was going to Warsaw too. A red alert sounded in William's heart. He had a feeling.

Bad premonition.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, Christine quieted down and looked at William with pitiful eyes.

"No, I'm not going to Warsaw this time just for fun. I'm going there at the invitation of Russia's Empress Catherine II, and I will never take you there." William quickly turned his face away from Christine.

eyes said

But after he finished speaking, William didn't hear the sound.

Should I just give up now? This doesn’t seem to be this girl’s style, William thought. When William turned around, he saw that Christine was not crying or fussing, but still looking at him eagerly, but there seemed to be something in her little eyes.

It's almost like flooding.

"If I say no, I can't. Don't look at me now. I'm going back. You can stand there alone." William really couldn't stand this silent attack and said cruelly.

But the strange thing is that Christine still didn't speak, she just turned around and walked to the door of the room, faced William and stared at him again.

Well, William admitted that as an otaku in his previous life, what he couldn't bear the most was the eager longing in the little girl's eyes. Thinking that his trip to Warsaw this time did not seem to be dangerous, William compromised and said:

"Okay, I don't object to you going with me, but you must get your mother's consent." William handed the decision to Louise.

It turned out that Louise could not stand the attacks from her baby daughter and sold William after a while. Louise said to Christine:

"If you go with your brother, you have to listen to your brother's words. You know, as long as you agree, I will agree to your going to Warsaw." After hearing Louise's words, Christine seemed to have suddenly come to life and shouted "Long live" on the spot.

, then ran into Louise’s arms and started acting coquettishly.

Looking at Christine, William wondered if he was too fond of this sister, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, among his brothers and sisters, only Christine felt the closest to him, and he did not like this lively sister.

My sister also has unusual love.
