The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 139 Massachusetts

Although the defection of Washington and the First Army of the United States of America was criticized by the public opinion in the North American colonies as an act of treason and a violation of democracy, freedom and human rights...

But this act did save the people of the United States of America from suffering too much trauma from the war.

Neither Yuri's road nor Washington's road encountered armed resistance, and naturally not many people lost their lives because of it.

The most important thing is that without the destruction of the war, the economic production of the United States of America has not been greatly damaged, that is to say, there has not been a large number of unemployed people, there has been no shortage of various materials, and the social order is still maintained.

This is certainly a surprise for Yuri, but is it not a kind of happiness for ordinary people?
It's just that most people in the United States of America don't buy it. They regard Yuri as a demon king and a tyrant, and their submission to Yuri is nothing more than a military failure.

Of course, no matter how clamorous the talkative party is, there are very few people who are really willing to set foot on the battlefield, and a small number of extremists have fled northward to the British colonies with the government-in-exile of the United States of America.

At this time, the political structure of the thirteen North American states had long been broken. Among the thirteen North American states, the colonial states that had not joined the rebellion were all merged into Massachusetts by the London government.

This was mainly because the colonial British army wanted to weaken the rights of the autonomous state government and incorporate those militias and colonial regular troops in the name of legality.

At the same time, it can also carry out unified command and resource integration for this colony.

Facts have proved that this decision of the London government saved the fate of several northern colonial states in seeking self-reliance.

The British army seized power directly by means of military pressure and coercion, completely suppressing the signs of self-reliance.

At this time, Massachusetts is where the United States of America government-in-exile resides.

The British handed over the de jure command of the difficult-to-integrate local militias (gun-toting mobs) to the Government-in-Exile of the United States of America.

The militia is different from the colonial regular army. Many people in the militia do not want to work for the London government far away from the Atlantic Ocean. They yearn for the freedom and democracy of the United States of America...

This is one of the reasons why the British are willing to fully fund the government-in-exile of the United States of America. No matter what happens, the political ideas promoted by the United States of America are still very popular in the colonial states of North America.

Therefore, the government-in-exile of the United States of America, relying on the thousands of remnants who fled with them as the backbone, recruited a large number of freedom-loving and human-rights-loving Massachusetts militias who had never seen Yuri's summoning army, and quickly established an army of tens of thousands. frame comes.

In this era, as long as there is money, the war can continue!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the British Empire to single out the entire Europa in person.

The continent of Europe was raging with war, and the European powers naturally did not have the energy to compete with Britain for overseas colonies. Even the sea power trade had to be handed over, allowing the British to make a lot of money.

However, most of the overseas profits earned by the British were invested in the war on the Europa continent. From a business point of view, the British did not actually make much profit.

However, Britain is not a businessman, but a country. Naturally, it is impossible to purely consider economic benefits.

In fact, being able to maintain financial revenue and expenditure without losing money during the war is already a very powerful existence.

This is also the fundamental reason why the whole world feels that the British cattle ratio.

Not surprisingly, the "American Army" in Massachusetts quickly overtook the British army in terms of strength.

You must know that the British army in the North American colonies at this time is no longer the pocket army before the war. At this time, the British army has reorganized the regular army of the non-independent northern colonial states into the British army and implemented military control, which is equivalent to the London government. of the municipality.

Although there are many benefits to doing so, there is one thing that makes the London government unhappy-it is too expensive!

When the British started colonial self-government, the combination of other reasons was not as expensive as the problem.

The colonies are different from the land on the Europa continent. The European powers in this world treat the colonies as a business.

If you lose money and lose money during the colonization process, and there is no prospect of turning losses into profits in the future, such colonies will generally be abandoned directly.

The British Empire in this world is a veritable global empire. If you just look at the map, two-thirds of the land is covered with Union Jack flags, but not even half of the land is really valued by the British for development...

In this world, the colonies worthy of the attention of the British are nothing more than the Indian subcontinent, the American continent, the main destination of European immigrants, the Spice Islands, and some North African regions and islands with developed transportation and commerce.

The Indian subcontinent is valued by the British because the people here are weak but rich. There are a lot of cheap labor brainwashed by the caste system that can be squeezed and exploited desperately. The land is also very rich and the climate is pleasant. It is the most important source of wealth for the British Empire.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the sea traffic of the British Empire in the Indian subcontinent is cut off at this time, the British army on the Europa continent will be completely defeated in less than half a year!

More than half of the funds and supplies for the war came from the oil and water scraped by the British from the heads of Indian Asan, even Indian colonial soldiers.

The American continent is not only North America, the British also have a large number of wealthy colonies in Central America and the Caribbean.

It is rich in products, and it was the first colony developed by Europeans. There are a large number of white immigrants, and the land is mature. The cost of rule and colonization is naturally relatively low.

As the name suggests, the Spice Islands are the leader in the British maritime trade profiteering industry, and they are also the pocketbooks of the British Empire second only to the Indian subcontinent.

For the British, the colonies in North Africa had more strategic significance than economic interests. It was relying on the chain formed by the many islands in North Africa that the British Empire became the hegemony of the Mediterranean Sea.

The command of the sea in the Mediterranean is the key to the British being able to face the enemy European powers on the Europa continent.

Originally, the world situation was very favorable to Britain. As long as the war on the European continent continued, Britain could still consume those European powers to death even if it could not make breakthrough progress on the battlefield.

Today's French Kingdom's colonies on the North American continent were all swallowed up by the British, which is a living example.

However, the war on the North American continent broke this rule. Whether it was the anti-Yuri alliance or the support of the United States of America exile regime, the London government’s money bags were outflowed. It may be nothing in a short period of time, but after a long time, the wealthy British will also carry it. Can't live!
