The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 103 Diplomatic Victory
Politics is often a wonderful thing.

General Gates has never thought of it until now, he just tried to save his political career with the mentality of trying, and the success he did not expect was beyond his imagination!

In fact, General Gates did not get any real benefits, let alone a promotion, but for him who had just ruined a major army in the United States of America, being able to keep his position as a general was considered a huge political victory.

The reason is simple. General Gates' "friends" in the Congress of the United States of America persuaded the diplomats sent by the London government with the detailed information about Yuri's summoning ability provided by General Gates.

As a result, the United States of America, which was supposed to face a pincer attack from the north and the south, got out of the crisis in an instant and was recognized by the British Empire.

The two sides even reached a limited military alliance agreement to jointly launch a war against the Sauron family.

This is simply a landmark victory in the history of diplomacy for the United States of America.

The Provisional Congress of the United States of America (Committee of Five) immediately established itself politically, with the full support of the great capitalists and aristocrats of the five colonial states.

At the same time, under the threat of Yuri, the originally loose United States of America also began to further unite, and all continents stopped hiding their secrets and handed over their own regular troops for training.

Those capitalists who got rid of the heavy British taxes also donated generously to fight for the continuation of the United States of America.

Naturally, General Gates' defeat was no longer his own responsibility, but was determined to be that the opponent was too strong.

This is actually very understandable, after all, no one can remain invincible under the continuous attack of the summoned legion.

What's more, the soldiers of those ancient armies were all brave and fearless.

General Gates, whose faults were erased, naturally kept his original position, and even got some supplementary regiments who had just walked out of the boot camp to make up for his US troops.

However, as the United States general who knew Yuri best, Gates was given a difficult task.

Delay as much as possible to prevent Yuri's army from going north, entangle Yuri himself, and buy enough time for the attacks of other fronts.

For this reason, General Gates has received strong support from the United States Committee. As long as General Gates speaks, the number of ordinary militiamen is sufficient...

Of course, this is just an exaggeration. The number of people cannot exceed [-], otherwise it will not comply with the rules of the legion.

This era has not yet reached the period when large corps fight. After all, the railway has not yet been developed. After tens of thousands of troops, the logistical pressure begins to approach the limit of supplies in this era.

The consumption of tens of thousands of people gathering together to eat, drink and scatter is enough to collapse a small country.

This does not mean that a small country can only have tens of thousands of people.

You must know that the centralized supply of tens of thousands of troops on the front line and having tens of thousands of troops are completely two concepts.

Since the troops who are not fighting all stay in the local garrison, there is not much transportation loss of logistics materials at all.

But it's different when you go to the front line, unless it's a local battle...

Compared with the European powers that have established a complete logistics system, the logistics department of the United States of America is completely a grassroots team.

Therefore, the supply of 3 people gathered together to fight on the front line is already the limit, and this is the premise that the distance from the mainland is not too far.

However, the top leaders of the United States of America know that the troops fighting Yuri will inevitably suffer heavy losses in the end, and the combat style of those ancient soldiers who did not survive has spread throughout the United States of America.

Therefore, the supplements to General Gates are all ordinary militiamen and recruits, and there is no veteran unit.

General Gates' combat mission is mainly to block Yuri, so his troops usually stay and fight in the civil works, and the militia and recruits are enough to deal with it.

Generally speaking, as long as they are not cowardly, even the police force can rely on fortifications to shoot and kill the enemy.

After all, there are fortifications, and soldiers don't have to face the hail of bullets.

Therefore, General Gates drove a large number of militiamen and civilians to build various earthworks along the Virginia-North Carolina border.

It's not any complicated fortifications, just ditches, parapets, artillery positions and the like. A large number of fortifications are stacked with anti-gun sandbags.

The role of sandbags has been popularized in this world. Everyone knows that sandbags have a miraculous effect on defense against solid bullets.

In front of the trench, there are a large number of wooden stakes to keep horses away, and some simple traps will be set in some terrains.

The operation difficulty of these fortifications is not high, as long as there is enough manpower, they can be dug out in a short time.

The only difficulty is that the border line that needs to be defended is too wide and the amount of engineering is too large.

Moreover, General Gates also plans to build civil engineering works with deep defense capabilities, and plans to block all the avenues that can be marched...

The top leaders of the United States of America are not afraid of the Sauron family fighting with them. After all, there is only one Yuri. As long as they avoid Yuri's troops, the army of the United States of America can attack in multiple directions.

The United States of America does not think that the capitulators in the United States of America have much strength to stop them.

Even if the top brass had to resist vigorously for fear of being liquidated because of their status as traitors, how many of the people below have their hearts set on the Sauron family?
You must know that in the two continents of North Carolina and South Carolina, many people have relatives and friends who died in Yuri's hands.

And those rich and powerful remnants who lost power in the war with Yuri will inevitably become the natural leader of the United States of America army.

They are well-connected and local local snakes. Even if they are suppressed and lose the power to rebel, it is still easy to be a guide.

In addition to the actions of the United States of America, the British Empire also mobilized their forces in North America.

The British Empire in this era was not limited to the thirteen North American states.

The thirteen states in North America are just the best developed and most populous places.

It is precisely because of this that the thirteen states in North America will have independent capital.

In fact, the entire North America has been designated by the United Kingdom as its own sphere of influence.

It's just that the main focus of the United Kingdom is on the European continent, so no troops are sent to occupy the west coast area, and the farthest place is occupied by Louisiana, which was snatched from the French.

Even in Louisiana (the center of the North American continent), the British only had a few strongholds and towns. Most of the land was controlled by the Indians, and there were constant frictions between the two sides.

Under the beating of the British, Louisiana even formed a powerful Indian tribal alliance-Sioux.

In addition, Britain also has troops stationed in Canada in the northern part of the thirteen states in North America.
