Super Chief

The power, rate of fire and effective range displayed by the 76 mortars of the Yanhuang tribe made Lieutenant Colonel Fogg and Colonel Jackson foolish.

　　 This is a large armed merchant ship! With a displacement of more than one thousand tons and three-masted sails, with a little modification, this armed merchant ship with two decks can become a four-tier cruiser!

　　 The difference between an armed merchant ship and a battleship is really small. The biggest difference is actually that the two decks of the cruiser are loaded with dozens of artillery pieces, while the cargo compartment of the armed merchant ship is loaded with cargo.

　　 Therefore, there is no difference between sinking an armed merchant ship and sinking a cruiser.

But such an armed merchant ship that can become a cruiser with guns turned into an unsuspecting floating object in just ten minutes. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Fogg and Jackson would not Believe it.

　　 Especially the one who killed this ship turned out to be an inland river armed transport ship with a displacement of only a hundred tons.

　　 This kind of thing is even more ridiculous than a bare-handed three-year-old doll killing a fully armed adult soldier...

　　 Of course, what they admire more is the weapons loaded on this inland river armed transport ship.

　　 If the country’s army had such weapons, those **** rebels would have been killed long ago.

　　 It's a pity that this kind of thought can only be thought of in my head.

　　 The difficulty of obtaining this weapon is almost more difficult than defeating those **** rebels...

　　 Similarly, the debris floating on the sea and the sailors who are struggling to swim toward the shore also let Fogg and Jackson understand the determination of the Cherokees to block the bay mouth.

　　 Looking at the dozen or so inland river armed transport ships cruising near the mouth of the bay, Fogg and Jackson were both envious and helpless. As for the anger, they had never had any anger at all. Even if the Yanhuang tribe's ship sank a British armed merchant ship in front of them, they didn't have any anger at all.

　　 I can’t get angry...The weapons of the guys on the opposite side are too terrifying, so horrible that the two of them have no intention of resisting at all. As for the anger or even revenge for that armed merchant ship, that is something fools can do, OK?

　　 However, I have to look for the one who needs it. The Cherokee blockade the bay strongly for no reason, which is obviously that the British Empire is not in the eyes.

　　 As the middle and senior commanders of the Royal Army of the British Empire, they may not avenge the armed merchant ship, but for the sake of the British Empire, they did not face each other anyway. Otherwise, if this matter is known to the superiors, they will not be far away from the day when they bid farewell to the army.

　　 So they came.

　　 Without a word, Dahe just said, "Don't forget that you are the outsiders, and we are the masters of this continent" directly choked back.

　　 There is nothing wrong with this. This continent was originally people’s territory. The colonists from Europe, including them, only relied on weapons to be more advanced than others, and then forcibly occupied this colony.

　　 If these indigenous tribes are still as backward by force as before, then they will also be accounted for. This year, whoever has the big fist has the final say.

　　 But the problem is that the Cherokee's display of force is so powerful that once they want to return to these colonies, no one can stop it!

　　 This is really embarrassing...

Dahe looked at the embarrassment on the faces of the two of them, smiled slightly and said: "Ade, Colonel Jackson, I know what you are worried about. You said just now. It's nothing more than worrying about your warships not coming in, Continental Army. Will you take the opportunity to attack Jamestown and Yorktown?"

　　 The two looked at each other and nodded in succession.

　　 "If you two are worried about this, it will be easier." Dahe said slowly, his English is not fluent enough, he can only speak slowly.

"I can send several inland river armed transport ships to cruise around Yorktown and Jamestown. If the Continental Army dares to attack you while the bay is blocked, our ship will help you repel the Continental Army. I think You two should know that my boat can do this."

　　 The two looked at each other again, with a surprise smile on their faces, and nodded again.

　　 Jamestown is the first permanent colony established by the United Kingdom in the New World of North America, and it is also an important port fortress of the United Kingdom on the New World of North America. Although Yorktown was established later than Jamestown, the importance of Yorktown is no less than that of Jamestown.

　　 Both port fortresses are located on the Virginia Peninsula, except that Jamestown is located on the north bank of the James River in the southwest of the peninsula, while Yorktown is in the northeast of the peninsula, guarding the mouth of the York River. If you go by land, the distance between the two fortresses is only 30 kilometers, but if you go by sea, you need to bypass half of the Virginia peninsula, and the range is more than 150 kilometers.

　　 Williamsburg, the capital of Virginia, happens to be located between the two port fortresses. Williamsburg has now fallen into the hands of the Continental Army, and the land traffic between Yorktown and Jamestown has been cut off by Williamsburg. Therefore, the communication and contact between the two port fortresses can only be accomplished by water. Convenience.

　　 And because the possibility of supporting each other over land has been lost, once the Continental Army concentrates on attacking Jamestown or Yorktown, the two port fortresses can only support each other through water. But this is a waste of time.

If the Cherokee can really send several inland armed transport ships that can sink an armed merchant ship from a long distance to help guard Jamestown and Yorktown~www.readwn.com~, then these two port fortresses will surely be as stable as Mount Tai. .

"Ade, Colonel Jackson, I'm really sorry. I cannot lift the blockade of the bay because of the command of the Great Chief of the Son of God. The command of the Great Chief of the Son of God cannot be violated. So I can only use this method. To help you guys."

　　 Fogg nodded and said, "General Dahe, I can understand your difficulty, but Phil and I are also very grateful for this decision you made. But..."

　　 Fogg's hesitation made Dahe immediately speak: "Ade, if you need anything else, just speak up. As long as it doesn't go against the orders of the great chieftain of the son of God, I will definitely support it."

"Okay, General Dahe, then I will say. Because of your blockade of the bay, now whether it is Jamestown or Yorktown, the food is beginning to become tense. Can we trade some food back here with you? We can Pay with silver."

　　 Now there is a batch of silver in Yorktown that is going to be shipped to the mainland. I wanted to wait for the warships from my country to be shipped back, but the bay was blocked.

　　 Under such circumstances, Jackson used this batch of silver to buy food, even the higher-level officers would not say anything. Compared to the importance of Jamestown and Yorktown, that batch of silver is nothing.

　　 Dahe smiled and nodded, "Of course it's okay."

　　 As for the armed merchant ship, the two sides have a tacit understanding and never mentioned it again...
