Chapter 2634 Colonel Audrey
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little rascal!" Hailaer was so angry that he yelled at the case, his face full of indignation: "If you charge such a price, the robbers would have starved to death! In my opinion, Audrey can get at least one hundred and twenty Pound magic crystal!"
"You two bastards, give me enough!" Her Royal Highness blushed with anger, stomping her feet angrily: "I'm not as heavy as you say!"
"But it doesn't affect your worth..." Holden wanted to argue, but was punished by his sister's iron fist, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
George Vasa went to Nidaville, and Audrey couldn't see the commander of the Continental Army temporarily, but she was unwilling to be lonely. On the second day after arriving in Freeport, she excitedly went to the recruiter and signed up to join the army. He was poured a bucket of cold water on his head.
"Our troops don't need a noble lady like you, you'd better go home." The recruiter politely and coldly turned Her Highness Princess away.
Audrey was rejected, both aggrieved and inexplicable, the Continental Army is obviously short of major generals, why did she refuse to join the army?
Afterwards, she went to complain to her best friend, and after listening to Hailaer's explanation, she understood the reason.
The year when the "War of Independence" broke out in the New World coincided with a rare peace period in the old world.
Peace is good for common people, but terrible for professional soldiers.
If there is no war, what will the mercenaries rely on for food?
It so happened that war broke out in the New World at this time, and a large number of professional soldiers from the Old World flocked to the New World like sharks smelling blood.
Feizhen has a well-established military system and a command system at all levels, so there is little need for mercenaries, so these mercenaries turned to the Continental Army to "digg for gold".
The battlefield experience of these veterans is indeed valuable, but the wages they demand are also quite considerable. The Continental Congress simply cannot afford it, and they block mercenaries from the old world whenever they see them.
Audrey claims to have come from Canaan to join the army, and she is a young and beautiful girl. Can this kind of person go to war?
The recruiter had to suspect that she had come to the barracks with a special mission, trying to infiltrate the revolutionary ranks to sabotage, and declined her request out of trouble.
Audrey's enthusiasm was misunderstood, but she was not discouraged. Instead, she wrote a letter to Sir Nichols, the chairman of the Continental Congress, stating that she wanted to join the Continental Army as a volunteer without salary.
Nichols was very moved when he read the letter, and was about to decline the letter when Mrs. Josephine's letter arrived first.
In the letter, the countess urged her old friend, "Be sure to treat Princess Audrey well, this is very important to win Canaan's aid"!
Only then did Sir Nichols realize the value of Audrey. After discussing with his colleagues in the Continental Congress, they unanimously agreed to confer the rank of "Colonel" on Her Royal Highness. She really leads the way.
Everyone, including Sir Nichols, believed that Her Royal Highness was just bored and came to the New World to play "war games" to find some excitement, and when she got tired of playing, she would naturally stop.
Not long afterward, General Vasa returned to Freeport from Forge Valley with the covenant signed with the dwarves. When he learned that the Continental Congress forced a royal nobleman into his headquarters, he could only accept the "Ao Dai" with a wry smile. Colonel Lee's service.
General Vasa's attitude towards Audrey was the same as that of her younger brother Holden. He kept the two siblings by his side as adjutants. Returning to Canaan is worthy of the enthusiasm of the siblings.
...
In the first year of the New World War of Independence, the Continental Army led by George Vassar suffered successive defeats and was on the verge of collapse.
Despite the difficult situation, General Vasa has seen a ray of light in the darkness.
The cruel war made him realize that the military strength of the colony and Fiji was not at the same level at all, and it was impossible for the Continental Army to completely defeat Fiji's regular army on the battlefield.
However, the final victory must belong to the Continental Army, because the right time and place are on their side!
The unique geographical location and the vast territory are the biggest advantages of the Continental Army. For Feizhen, if you don't win, you lose; but for the revolutionaries, if you don't lose, you win.
As long as the Continental Army does not lay down its arms, it is tantamount to walking on the right path to victory. If you can seize the opportunity and win a few battles, those countries in the old continent that compete with Fizhen will definitely be involved, and the anti-war sentiment in Fizhen will also erupt in an all-round way. Instead, resolve colonial conflicts through diplomatic means.
Now, what the Continental Army has to do is to "drag", and as long as the arrogant Fei Zhenren is dragged to the negotiating table, it will be a victory.
The prospect of the independent revolution is bright, but the road to the light is dark and tortuous, full of difficulties and obstacles along the way.
In October 1626, George Vasa and the Continental Army under his leadership had to undergo a severe test of life and death.
On October 5, the Fizen Expeditionary Force ended its rest just one month after capturing the city of Midgard, and continued to march south.
This time, Earl Winthrop accepted the suggestion of Admiral William Howe, commander of the navy, summoned General Johnny Burgoyne from New Avalon, and handed over the 4th Infantry Division sent by the mainland to the command of Burgoyne. Stay in Midgard City.
The earl himself, in collaboration with General Henry Clinton, led a division each, plus 5,000 mercenaries from the Wali tribe, boarded 200 troop carriers, set sail from Asa Bay, and headed south under the escort of the naval fleet .
Since the fall of Midgard, Earl Winthrop ordered the military police to hunt down the "separatist" elements in the city, focusing on the members of the "Sons of Liberty". After more than a month of crackdown, nearly a thousand "rebels" "Party elements" were imprisoned, and the intelligence network of the "Sons of Liberty" in the city was severely damaged and almost paralyzed.
At the same time, Earl Winthrop also strictly scrutinized the ranks of officers, transferred officers suspected of collaborating with the enemy or simply sympathizing with the colonial independence movement from their command posts, and kicked them to low-level cold yamen such as logistics and public security.
As a result, the Continental Army's internal line into the Fizen army was almost wiped out, and it was difficult to grasp the movements of Fizhen's troops as efficiently and accurately as before.
Today, the surviving spies in Midgard City are all relatively low-level. They only saw the 25,000 Fizhen army leaving the port by boat, but they could not determine the destination of the fleet.
On the morning of the second day when Feizhen's army went to sea, General Vasa received a message from the intelligence personnel from Midgard Port at the headquarters. Judging by intuition, Feizhen must have come to Freeport!
