Chapter 217 The Birth of the Mini Rifle

Chapter 217 The Birth of the Mini Rifle
The revolutionary situation in Central America is very unfavorable to the Spanish colonists. This is mainly because Central America was originally controlled by the New Spain Governor's Palace. Part of the military power consumed by the New Spain Governor's Palace in its wars with the American Empire was drawn from Central America. As a result, the strength of the garrison here is far inferior to that of the major governorships in South America.

There may be no problems on weekdays, but once the revolution broke out, Central America immediately became the hardest hit area.

The early suppression of uprisings and rebellions is very important. As a result, due to the invasion of the American Empire, the colonial government of the Kingdom of Spain in America lost the most critical early suppression, which made the revolutionary army grow stronger.

However, the strength gap between the two sides is too great after all, and even the developed revolutionary team will find it difficult to resist the returning Spanish colonial army.

However, the Spanish colonial government in Central America lacked the strength to even return to defense, making the Republic of Guatemala the first country to become independent from Spanish colonial rule.

The second independent from the Spaniards was an island colony, which was erupted by black slaves and established the Republic of Haiti.

A country founded by blacks in the true sense.

The reason why the Haitian Republic was able to succeed in the revolution was completely a mistake. This island is mainly planted with various cash crops, so a large number of black slaves are needed. On the contrary, because of the underdeveloped industry and commerce, white immigrants seldom come here.

Therefore, the ratio of whites to blacks here is not even 1:100...

When frequent revolutionary rebellions broke out in the American colonies of the Kingdom of Spain, the island did not receive support from foreign colonial governments, and the black slaves were oppressed and exploited, so the revolution succeeded.

Even so, these blacks only occupied half of the Big Island, and the other half was still controlled by the Spaniards.

The precarious rule of the Spaniards in the Americas also gave the British with colonies all over the world an opportunity. Other European powers were beyond their reach, and naturally only the British could do it.

However, the British and the Spaniards are allies. Although the British have a tradition of pitting their allies, the current London government still counts on the Spaniards to curb Yuri's expansion on the American continent. Naturally, they will not allow the Spanish colonial rule to completely collapse.

The British are not stupid enough to rely on the countries established by Native Americans to resist the aggression of the American Empire...

Therefore, even if the Spanish Kingdom's national power declines and its strength is insufficient to suppress the rebellion in South America, it can still maintain the major governorships from being attacked.

It's just that the pk between the British and the First French Republic in Europe has entered a critical stage, and the Battle of Paris is ongoing, so they cannot directly send troops to help the Spaniards.

Of course, the Kingdom of Spain does not want the British to send troops directly to land, otherwise God knows how much South America will be swallowed by the British after suppressing the rebellion...

Therefore, although the Spaniards, who could only get help from diplomacy and supplies, had an advantage in the suppression, they were still unable to wipe out the chaotic revolutionary parties.

The revolutionary party is an immortal Xiaoqiang. Unless it is completely beaten to death with a stick, a new revolutionary team will soon be pulled up.

Who told the Spaniards that the way of ruling was too suitable for the survival of the Revolutionary Party?
If everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, the revolutionary party can't do anything at all.

But in this era, even the local residents of the British Empire, the world's hegemon, cannot live and work in peace and contentment, and thank God if they can eat enough...

However, the British are not reconciled to just being a nanny in the face of the chaos in the Americas, and the colony of the Kingdom of Portugal, which has declined to the end of the European crane, has entered the eyes of the British.

After the rebellion broke out in Spain, the idea of ​​revolution inevitably spread to Brazil, which also caused some turmoil.

However, the Brazilian colonial government was not defeated by Yuri with hundreds of thousands of troops, and its strength still remained. Even if the local government was unable to support the Brazilian government, it could easily suppress the signs of revolution.

It is a pity that the Brazilian government is able to deal with internal revolutionary ideas with ease, but it is cowardly in dealing with world hegemons outside.

Facing the British diplomatic offensive, the government of the Kingdom of Portugal in the Brazilian colony finally chose to compromise and directly established the Kingdom of Brazil in the name of the Revolutionary Party!
The most irritating thing is that the food of the British is too ugly, and the king of the Kingdom of Brazil is actually from the line of the British royal family!
Although it is only a collateral branch of the British royal family, it is also my own family!

Moreover, with the political status of the Kingdom of Brazil, joining the Alliance on which the Sun Never Sets and becoming another vassal state of the British Empire is almost a certainty...

Obviously, this embarrassing appearance of the British Empire angered the European powers and the Kingdom of Portugal, the victim of the authorities.

Encouraged by the verbal flickering of the European powers, the Kingdom of Portugal actually issued an ultimatum to the British Empire regarding the occupation of the Brazilian colony.

Originally, the Kingdom of Portugal just wanted to occupy morality to seek some political interests. Unexpectedly, the British Empire in this world is an absolutely warlike nation...

The relatively mild ultimatum reached the British Parliament and was directly translated into a declaration of war. Then, when the Portuguese were confused, the British Empire only sent three divisions of troops and successfully landed on the mainland of the Kingdom of Portugal.

Then he went all the way, punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten into Lisbon, which was not ready for war at all...

The capital of the Kingdom of Portugal fell in less than a week!
Not only the Portuguese were stunned, but even the European powers were afraid of the strength of the British. As a neighbor, the Kingdom of Spain adjusted its national defense to the highest security alert, and the border with Portugal began to gather troops from the Kingdom of Spain.

After the British occupied the Kingdom of Portugal, they repeated their old tricks and sent a collateral member of the British royal family to wear the Portuguese crown, and then formed a new vassal state of Portugal...

Naturally, no one dared to mention the Kingdom of Brazil at this time.

The intelligence reasons for the defeat of the Kingdom of Portugal soon appeared on the agenda of the European powers.

The reason is simple. The British Empire has installed a batch of new front-loading rifles-Mini rifles!
The name comes from Minnie, the rifle's inventor.

The Mini rifle uses a different conical bullet, which perfectly solves the air-tightness problem of the rifled gun, making the range of the front-loading rifled gun reach a terrifying 400 meters!

An ordinary soldier can use a Minie rifle to complete accurate shooting within a range of 200 meters.

You must know that the effective range of many small and medium-caliber mortars in this era is less than 200 meters...

Thank you for the prawn noodles for giving you a reward of 1000 starting coins.
