Edo Traveler

The reply from the British arrived in a familiar tone, and the British Empire would do its best to assist the US military if necessary, so as to promote the full or partial founding of Japan.

　　 is like saying nothing...

　　 The Brit’s moral bottom line is too flexible!

　　 Perry felt that if things dragged on for too long, it would be of no benefit to the U.S. military. For one thing, it took the army more than six months to arrive in Japan. Now that it has reached its destination, it is still hesitating to patrol, which may cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

　　 Secondly, it is the British ally. It is really not reassuring. It is here, but it is clear that the US army will take the lead, and the British army will follow to pick up the bargain. It is even possible to rely on the United States to shed blood and sacrifice, and then diplomatically blackmail the shogunate to seek greater benefits for Britain than the United States.

　　 must be a quick fight!

　　 Decided, Perry immediately invited Pashaly and Setiverly to come to discuss the battle strategy. The British arrived very quickly, as they looked when they met Sheng Haizhou, very calm and calm, as if everything had nothing to do with the British Empire.

　　 Anyway, Pashali has determined one thing. Several of the 30 British students who have been shocked by the strong industrial and military strength of the UK have already taken up leadership positions. Hidetoshi Egawa and his father led eight hundred troops, Oguri Tadashi made up for Nagasaki, and Sheng Haizhou became the supervisor of the Merchant Marine School and the Yokohama Shipyard.

　　 More and more "elites" are entering the system of the shogunate. For twenty years, the shogunate will be flooded with all kinds of "elites". At that time, Britain won without victory, and there are comprador agents in Japan.

　　 Why bother to kill the shogunate now, let the shogunate’s own “elites” take the initiative to accept the brilliance of the British, such an indirect rule, it will save a lot of effort and worry.

Seeing the Brit’s approval, Perry became more and more worried about whether the British and the shogunate had any secret trade. He must obtain a small, big, and influential victory as soon as possible, and hurt the arrogant shogunate. Go back to the negotiating table and accept the conditions of the United States of America.

　　 Achieve unlimited benefits with limited warfare!

The British certainly support the Americans to go up and touch them. Pashali sees that Sheng Haizhou is a very energetic young man. I can learn from you in Britain. It is fine to follow you and develop as a younger brother, but it is definitely not servile and slavery. To the point of being a servant. Therefore, it is also very good to use the hands of the Americans to slash the hearts of the Japanese.

　　 Sell out the United States and sell Japan, whatever it is, anyway, as long as it is in the interest of bringing the British Empire, Pasha will have no psychological burden to sell. Isn’t it just a **** stick? I’m a stick. What are you guys? It’s very vivid.

　　 Come on, let's discuss battle. According to observations at the scene, Perry discovered that the firepower configuration of the fort group near Uraga is obviously stronger on Uraga and weaker in Futtsu.

　　This situation is indeed not bad. The fort from Uraga to Shinagawa on the west bank of Edo Bay is a solid fort group constructed by Mizuno Tadakuni who killed the Kanya family and copied his family’s 750,000 taels of gold. All are designed by the Dutch engineer Hallides and supervised by Jiangchuan Yinglong, which is very complete.

　　 By the time the Futtsu, Tsukuba and Susaki Fortresses were built, the shogunate’s finances were average. So like the Futtsu Fort, only the South Fort facing the Pacific Ocean was designed, and the North Fort facing Edo Bay was ignored. In addition, it was the Shimadzu family's turmoil at the time, and the shogunate sent them to build the fortresses on the east bank of Edo Bay. It was impossible for him to take the initiative to help the shogunate improve the fortifications.

　　 even led to only half of the Futtsu Fortress, the other half was not built, unable to form a complete firepower. This is also what Perry found, helpless.

　　Since the shogunate’s defense has loopholes, and the minister in charge of the shogunate’s defense in Uraga is stationed in Uraga instead of Futtsu, it is clear that Futtsu’s army should be even smaller. If you don't hit Futtsu, why don't you go to bite Uraga's hard bones?

　　 After listening to Perry's thoughts, Pashali had the same meaning. He was not opposed to small-scale battles to a certain extent, but the British army hurriedly assembled from the Malay Peninsula. They were tired and unable to fight immediately. Therefore, it can only serve as the task of guarding Uraga Fortress and guarding the safety of troop carriers and supply ships.

　　 cursed the old fox inwardly, Perry suppressed his temper and said it was good. Obviously the British did not fully negotiate with the shogunate, so they are happy to see the Americans go to cut the Japanese.

　　 Both sides finally confirmed that the British army sent a navy to cover Uraga’s surface and monitor the shogunate troops stationed in Uraga. The U.S. forces attacked the Fujin Fortress with all their strength, and the British army would send two to three hundred men as a battlefield observation group to assist the U.S. troops in landing.

　　 The U.S. military did not mean that three thousand people were swarming. Instead, based on the information obtained before and the actual measurement and understanding of the situation, they chose two beachheads where they can land. The navy launched artillery battles at sea.

　　 In order to avoid excessive battle damage, Perry's idea is simple, using a relatively more flexible and maneuverable steam warship that is not affected by wind and wind direction. Not to destroy the Futtsu Fort, just to attract Futtsu’s attention.

　　 It is clear that the war has started~www.readwn.com~ but the two sides have spent a quiet night that is difficult to sleep...

　　 At dawn the next day, the U.S. warship ignited smoke and started the boiler early. After the army hurriedly ate breakfast, three troop carriers came up from behind. Linlin small boats are densely packed around the troop carrier, and 1,200 soldiers of the US Marine Corps are ready.

　　Six steam battleships took the lead in attacking, billowing black smoke like thick ink, and bursting into the sky, almost covering the sun. Hideryu Egawa, who guarded Futtsu, dispatched a small boat to urgently contact Uraga and beat the drums to prepare for the battle.

　　 Hidetoshi Jiang Chuan studied the navy in Britain, and he was skilled in commanding artillery, so he stayed at the fort. Jiang Chuan Yinglong has the prestige in the training team, and his spirit is poured into everyone's awe. Naturally, he is the best candidate to lead the training team.

The 　　 Chuanxi team has long occupied a favorable position on the beach. Futtsu is a small promontory protruding from the Boso Peninsula. There are so many places to land, and the defense can't go wrong.

　　 "Boom boom boom boom..."

　　 Thousands of tons of heavy guns with a caliber of more than 200 millimeters fired violently. The test firing of the battery yesterday actually set the standard for the US military. Immediately after the battle, the U.S. army was ready to give the Shogunate its strongest combat power.

　　 Hidetoshi Egawa, who guarded the fort, immediately commanded the 150-pound Parrott-style cannon made of bronze on the fort to fire back, and the shells stirred up a huge column of water on the water.

　　 "Continue to fight!" Jiang Chuan Yingmin held the binoculars and commanded the artillery to adjust the angle, so that he must hit the enemy ship next time.

　　How to teach you the knowledge of the United States, the dignified shogunate, who has been nurturing people for two hundred and fifty years, and there are thousands of loyal and generous people!
