Chapter 188: Kutuzov's Troubles After obtaining the unanimous consent of the Continental Congress, Washington received 10,000 reinforcements from the Continental Congress, of course, 7,000 of which were drawn from the Southern Continental Army, and the other 3,000 reinforcements came from the secret army that the Continental Congress had always treasured.
After receiving the support of the Continental Congress, Washington's headquarters suddenly broke through the 20,000 mark, and after the number of troops under his command reached 20,000, Washington's confidence was extremely inflated, and he was no longer satisfied with the guerrilla war with the British army, and the day after the reinforcements arrived, Washington planned an attack on Clinton's British army.
The movement of the Southern Continental Army can not be concealed from the Earl of Brünecke, but the Earl does not have any good way to deal with this, and at present, the Southern Continental Army is retreating in the North Carolina line because of the transfer of troops, although the Earl of Brünecke has carried out many attacks on this defensive line, but the Continental Army is too popular with the people, and often the Prussian army has just set off, and the Southern Continental Army can get the news and set up obstacles on the way of the Prussian army's advance.
In order to effectively annihilate the main force of the Continental Army, in August, Bruneke organized an attack on the capital of North Carolina, but this attack did not make progress, and the Prussian army tasted defeat with its tenacious struggle.
But Brunecke did not change his plan because of this, after the attack on the city of Rolle failed, Brünecke changed to the tactics of rì, he set his sights on Greensboro, another town in North Carolina, the main force of the Continental Army in the city of Rolle in Greensboro defense is naturally lacking, so it is undoubtedly the British coalition army to take advantage, only two days Greensboro changed hands.
Greensboro's change of ownership made Greene, the commander of the Southern Continental Army, feel a great threat, and Green understood that after Greensboro was captured, the Prussian and British forces, which had been cut in two, could get in touch again, and the situation on the entire North American continent would be extremely uncertain.
Under such circumstances, Green had to apply to the Continental Council for more reinforcements, hoping to cut off the communication channel between the North and the South of the British coalition again, but this request was rejected by the Continental Council.
There are no troops left in the hands of the Continental Congress, and Washington has received 3,000 reinforcements from the Continental Congress, which is already the last mobile force in the hands of the Continental Congress, and because the situation on the North American continent has not improved, this has made the colonies that had previously supported the Continental Congress hesitate.
It is said that the local economies invested their greatest forces to join the war, but the Continental Army still failed to achieve a decisive victory, which made the colonies that had previously been very optimistic about the Continental Congress hesitate between the two sides again.
However, Washington, which was ambitious at the beginning, still did not make progress under Clinton's insistence, and the 20,000-strong army was completely blocked on the Philadelphia line, and the redshirts led by Clinton would create some surprises for the Continental Army from time to time.
But at this time, Washington's personality charm was revealed, and under Washington's leadership, although the Continental Army did not make breakthroughs, the Continental Army still seized control of several towns.
The entire North American continent is in a strange situation, and people are waiting to see who will make progress first, and there is no doubt that if one side makes a decisive decision, the impact on the whole situation will undoubtedly be extremely great.
After reading the letter from the Earl of Bruneke, William's heart swelled up with an unknown feeling, in the original history, in September of this year, a battle broke out in Yorktown, North America, which affected the entire North American war, this is the Battle of Yorktown.
This battle was the most important battle of the North American War, and it was also the last frontal battle during the liberation of the United States!
In the next month of the counterattack of the American ** team, Convalis led the British army to hold the Yorktown in Virginia, and the Franco-American alliance was led by Washington and went south to Virginia, and the reinforced French fleet was also transferred from the West Indies under the leadership of the French naval commander Count de Grasse, entered the Chesapeake Bay, entered the sea outside Yorktown, and repelled the reinforced British fleet and mastered the sea dominance.
The Continental Army of the Richton Army and the French army of the Comte de Rochambeau of France joined up with the Continental Army of the Marquis de Lafayette in Virginia, and the Franco-American army of 17,000 men completed the siege of Yorktown.
Convalis had no way out, so he had to negotiate the surrender of the United States and France, and the British troops stationed in Yorktown formally surrendered.
Since then, there have been only a few sporadic battles between the two sides, both at sea and on land, and the rest of the fighting has largely ceased.
After the Siege of Yorktown, the British Parliament was forced to agree to peace.
Later, the United States and the United States signed the draft of the "U.S.
-British Paris Peace Treaty" in Paris, and the United States became the first country in the Americas.
This is the beginning of the Americas!
But now everything has changed, the original history of the Battle of Yorktown did not break out as scheduled, although Washington was supported by the Continental Congress, but in the whole of North America, the advantage of the British coalition is also obvious, as long as the British army can withstand the attack of the Northern Continental Army, then after the progress in the South, the decline of the entire Continental Army is a foregone conclusion!
After thinking about the situation on the North American continent, the situation in Eastern Europe made William feel exhausted, and the news that Potemkin led 60,000 Russian troops to Poland is no secret, but for William, the turmoil in Poland is the most favorable situation for Prussia, and after Potemkin's arrival, whether the situation in Poland will change completely is what William is most concerned about.
Upon receiving the news of Potemkin's arrival, Wilhelm immediately sent emissaries to Jevisky and Warsaw, believing that the chaos in Poland would be in Prussia's interests, and that if Russia was allowed to pacify Poland, Prussia would once again face Russian troops.
Of course, there was no shortage of people in Prussia who asked William to fight, and Ferdinand was the most important, although William did not reveal the wind, but William was dissatisfied with Ferdinand's dissatisfaction with orders some time ago and reached Ferdinand's ears through some means.
Ferdinand was terrified when he heard the news.
In order to appease William's dissatisfaction with him, Ferdinand, after much deliberation, decided to admit his mistake to William and asked William to agree to his proposal to march on Poland.
However, for other reasons, William did not agree to his proposal to march on Poland, and not only that, but William personally gave a lecture to Ferdinand.
However, Ferdinand was noncommittal about William's idea, although Ferdinand did not oppose it in person, William knew that Ferdinand was very dissatisfied with his position on the Polish issue.
But William is not ready to change his position because of this, the Russian army led by Potemkin has 60,000 people, what is the concept of 60,000 Russian troops, although the Polish rebel army seems to be huge, but once the Russian army is facing a hundred battles, whether it can have the courage to fight it is a great question.
This person can't worry about others, just like Kutuzov on the march doesn't know how many times he sneezed, of course Kutuzov doesn't know who is thinking about him, but sneezing is always very unpleasant.
At the end of the meeting, Kutuzov took over the Latvian army with Potemkin's chieftain, and of course some clowns jumped out when taking over the army, but all this seemed extremely naïve to Kutuzov.
Kutuzov had in his hand the sword of Shang Fang, which General Aribo had given him, and he wished that more people would jump out so that he could complete the purge of the entire Latvian army and thus master the army.
The clowns who jumped out were all locked up by Kutuzov for the crime of obstructing military affairs, of course, Kutuzov wanted to execute these people in his heart, but Kutuzov was still young after all, and because of his defeat some time ago, his reputation among the Russian army fell sharply.
In this way, if Kutuzov takes any more drastic actions against those who oppose him, it is foreseeable that Kutuzov's notoriety will quickly spread throughout the Russian army, and this will not be conducive to Kutuzov commanding the Russian front.
Potemkin gave him the task of serving as the vanguard officer of the entire army, and the so-called vanguard officer not only needed to clear the obstacles on the surface of the entire army, but also the morale of the entire army depended on Kutuzov, so Kutuzov, who felt deeply responsible, did not dare to slack off at all.
After entering the Polish border, Kutuzov arranged for sentry cavalry to be everywhere, not to mention a radius of several tens of miles, and Kutuzov's sentinels were basically spread over a hundred miles of the entire army.
Although such caution slowed down the marching speed of the forward army, it undoubtedly ensured the safety of the entire army, and along the way, Kutuzov and Potemkin marching in the rear basically maintained a frequency of contact every half a day.
Although it is slower, as long as there are no accidents, Kutuzov will be thankful, the Ukrainian army is often quite thorough under the behest of Ripov, Kutuzov's orders are often carried out quite thoroughly, but the Latvian army is not so obedient.
Although when taking over the Latvian army, Kutuzov was very deterred by some ill-intentioned people, but helplessly, Kutuzov was able to force the top to obey, but he couldn't force those grassroots officers, I don't know who instructed it, the marching speed of the Latvian army is much lower than that of the Ukrainian army, often after Kutuzov urged several times, the entire Latvian army is still in an unhurried and even somewhat leisurely posture, which makes Kutuzov extremely annoyed.
