Super Chief - Chapter 697
Under the supervision of the two main divisions of the First and Second Divisions of the Grim Bear Army, and witnessed by the combined fleet of Britain, France and Spain, about 12,000 American soldiers trapped in New York surrendered.
To this end, the three-nation joint fleet also provided a large number of cruisers to transport these surrendered soldiers.
However, the sailors of the Three Kingdoms Joint Fleet found that the American soldiers who surrendered were not as frustrated or lost as they imagined. On the contrary, the faces of these surrendered soldiers were filled with happy smiles.
And everyone can see that the happiness of these soldiers is definitely from the heart.
Again, don’t look at the independence of the current American Federation, but because there has not been a Chess Uprising, the American Federation is not really a country in the true sense. At best, the United States can only be regarded as a loose political and economic alliance. That’s it.
Therefore, these American soldiers have no sense of national belonging.
And these soldiers are not like the soldiers of the European powers, they are real soldiers with professional training. In the past, the soldiers of the American Union were mostly farmers, small handicraftsmen, and bankrupts. Even the so-called main force of the Continental Army during the War of Independence was actually composed of militias and guerrillas.
In the eyes of those high-level Americans, these soldiers are actually like chamber pots. They are used when they are used, and they are kicked away when they are not needed.
This is not nonsense, but at the beginning of the independence of the United States, the Continental Army soldiers who made great contributions back then were out of such a state. Some soldiers who had made military contributions and retired were even more exploited after returning to their hometowns. .
Otherwise, the Xie Si uprising would not erupt in the original historical time and space.
And now, these two thousand American soldiers are also not a regular army, and after they learn about Boston and Charleston, can you still expect these soldiers to work hard for the top Americans?
What a joke!
Previously, these soldiers followed Watsonton and the others to revolt against Britain. It was because they had no way to go. In addition, they suddenly discovered that the British were actually not as strong as they thought, and there was also Faxiho. With the help of the Three Kingdoms, this group of soldiers would persist.
But what’s the situation now? In the land where they live, near the city where they live, there is an indigenous tribe that is stronger than Britain. There is no Atlantic Ocean as a barrier between them and this tribe, and the strength of this indigenous tribe is terrifying.
No one wants to die, especially when these soldiers know that there is only one result of confronting the Yanhuang tribe, that is, when they die, who is willing to lose their life?
Therefore, when the Yanhuang tribe allowed these soldiers to surrender, these soldiers were naturally happy.
It is better to be able to save your life than anything else. No one will be sad when they know that they can save their life…
Stone Bear stood on the west bank of the Hudson River, accompanied by a group of high-ranking tribes, watching the ships that were busy transporting these American soldiers to and from the wide Hudson River, with a touch of relief and faint pride on his face.
From the soul wear to the Longhair Cattle Tribe in 1764, to gain a foothold in the Gaoshu Tribe in 1765, and now this autumn in 1787, for this day, I have prepared a full 23 years of time. And the sixteen-year-old boy who was unlucky at the time, has now become a middle-aged forty-year-old.
Although I am very emotional that the years have passed, Baiyun Canggu can see this scene with his own eyes, which is enough.
As long as the British can retreat from the difficulties, and then kill the Americans, then the embryonic form of a huge empire has been completely formed.
In the original historical time and space, there has never been a regime formed by Indians on the entire North American road. Now, this situation is about to be changed!
And all this is achieved in my own hands, I am qualified to be proud!
12,000 soldiers, even if they are transported by ships of the combined fleet, even if the Hudson River is only more than two kilometers wide, it takes a full day to transport these soldiers from the west bank to the east bank of the river.
These American soldiers will disband immediately after being transported to the east bank of the river, and go back to each family to find their own mothers. Well, if anyone wants to stay, Shi Xiong doesn’t mind cutting off some people’s scalps to stand up.
These veterans who have participated in the war are all restless elements, and there will be special personnel to monitor them in the future. As long as these veterans don’t have any thoughts of uprising, Shi Xiong doesn’t mind their living here.
If these veterans did something like Xie Si, then Shi Xiong would not mind killing these people either.
Still the same sentence-kindness is not in charge of soldiers.
After all these American soldiers had been transported, early the next morning, the senior officials of the Yanhuang tribe and the United Fleet arrived at the New York Fortress at the southern end of Manhattan.
When future generations mention New York, it is estimated that no one on this planet does not know. But now, although New York is about to catch up with Philadelphia, this city is still far from the size of the world’s largest city in later generations.
In historical records, the first European to discover New York was Giovanni Davirazano from Florence, Italy. This guy, who was obviously Italian but loyal to France, entered the New York port area on the “Prince Princess” in 1524, and declared this place to be owned by France ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and named it Xinangoulême. .
At the beginning of the seventeenth century, the Dutchman Henry Hudson came to New York and discovered that it was a good place for fur trading, so Henry Hudson vigorously promoted it after returning home, and then a large number of Dutch people came. . They established a fur trading station on Governors Island, thus completely opening the era of European colonization of New York.
The famous Hudson River is named after this Henry Hudson.
The Anglo-Dutch War broke out in 1651. In 1664, the British fleet arrived in New York, which was still called “New Netherlands”. The Dutch knew that they could not beat the British, so they took the initiative to surrender New Netherlands. At that time, the King Charles II of England gave this place to his brother, Charles Stewart, Duke of York, so the Duke of York moved his territory from Yorkshire, England to New Netherlands, and changed the name of the place here. For “New York”, that is, “New York”.
It is worth mentioning that the first heir of the King of England, the Crown Prince, is often named the Prince of Wales, and because Yorkshire in the north of England is the largest county in the UK, the second son of the king has always been It was named “The Duke of York”.
When the Stone Bear crossed, the second son of the Queen of England, Prince Andrew, was the Duke of York in that era. As for Prince Andrew’s eldest brother is Crown Prince Charles.
Now, Shi Xiong has finally set foot on this famous land in later generations, and he is about to accept the surrender and dissolution ceremony of the American Federation here!
