Chapter 446: ,Renovated

After Canada's popularity was overwhelming, the Americans also knew that it was best not to rely on the city to fight, otherwise, God knows that those savage British people will repeat their tricks and burn the entire Pittsburgh with a fire bomb. , You must know that most of the American cities in this era were grown savagely. There are cheap wooden houses everywhere. If they are attacked with incendiary bombs, they are really like the Vulcan lighters of the Bonaparte Armory The advertisement is the same: "Just hit it, every hit must hit."
　　 Therefore, under the advice of French consultants, the US military had already repaired fortifications on the road from the north of Pittsburgh to Cleveland and relied on the fortifications for defense. At this time, the number of American soldiers was almost 40,000, and the British soldiers who killed them were only 25,000, and most of them were militias just like them.
But those French consultants just look down on the Americans. They just believe that if the Americans leave the fortifications and go to field battles with the British, even if they have more people, the British can easily defeat them, because the British are also there. They are mainly militias, but most of the first-level officers on the British company platoon have experience fighting in continental Europe or in Ireland.
　　On the contrary, the American militiamen have at most some experience of bullying Indians, and they are just a little bit passionate and brave to say it. In the words of French consultants, the evaluation is: "I'm not a real soldier, and I don't even understand the most basic tactics." And the ranks of grassroots officers are often the guarantee of combat effectiveness. Therefore, the French consultants insisted that the US army should just squat in the trenches honestly, and should not go out to be cute.
　　 The Americans are actually quite unconvinced about what the French think of themselves. Many of them feel that the French are completely alarmist. The British had taken advantage of it before, but that was mainly because they were all facing the Yankees. Although there are only 13 states in the United States in this era, regional discrimination among the 13 states still exists. In fact, most countries have such things. For example, Kanto and Kansai in Nepal, and the south and north of the United States.
　　 The members of the US military this time are mainly state soldiers who have been reinforcements from the southern states. Those guys in the South of the United States have never looked down upon Yankees. In their opinion, Yankees are cowards and fools who can't fight. Therefore, although the United Kingdom has easily defeated the U.S. military in the two previous battles, because they defeated the "Northerners", those from the south were not too surprised, and even produced the "Northern." Sure enough, guys are all sissy who can't fight."
　　 These southerners didn't even pay much attention to the French consultants. Although everyone says that the French Army is invincible in the world, many arrogant Southerners feel that it is nothing remarkable. It’s because of the French Army that everyone has never seen before.
　　 Of course, given the age of these people, they certainly could not have participated in the War of Independence, and could not have fought side by side with the French army under Lafayette. What they knew about the French army was heard from their parents, those guys who had actually participated in the War of Independence.
　　 But there is a serious problem here, that is, veterans all over the world have a common hobby, that is bragging. As the so-called "veteran's mouth, the water of the sea". When they blew up, the foam was much more delicate and richer than the best beer in the world.
　　 So in their description, the French certainly helped a little bit, and played a little bit of a non-critical role. But the independence war was mainly won by ourselves. Hmm, French? They were brave when they fought, just a little arrogant. Actually, they are not as good as your father and me, um, of course, they are still much better than those Yankees. Let me tell you, those Yankees...
　　 This is actually normal. Old people, how can they be old people if they don’t blow in front of the next? But the problem is that the next generation of young people don't know that the older generations are mostly bragging, and they think it is true. Now on the battlefield, they are all thinking about launching a brave attack on the British, just like the brave and fearless Lion King rushing to a group of despicable, ugly, shameful spotted hyenas. The result, of course, is the Lion King's second kill. The spotted hyena once again proves that the American Southern talents are born warriors.
　　 However, those nasty French people look down on them, thinking that even if they are two to one, they are not British, no, they are not Canadian opponents. This is really deceptive. This is all about treating them as vulnerable Yankees!
　　 Of course, if it's just like this, that's fine. Anyway, on the battlefield at that time, everyone will make a brave charge to completely defeat the Canadians, and then see what else the hateful French can say. Thinking about it this way, those little slave owners still feel pretty cool.
　　 However, what happened later almost caused these proud little southern slave owners to explode. The French actually asked them to dig in the ground like a lowly slave—this, is this what a noble fighter should do? Then he asked everyone to hide in the trenches when fighting. And their reason is that this can greatly reduce the chance of the enemy's bullet hitting him.
　　 This statement is of course no problem mathematically. However, this statement is very, very timid, very very unprofessional, and ungodly. First of all, as we all know, on the battlefield, bullets also have eyes, they will specifically hit those cowards; and for those fearless heroes, bullets will avoid them. Therefore, on the battlefield, facing the rain of bullets, it is useless to hide. Only by bravely rushing forward can you not be knocked down by bullets.
　　 Secondly, what does one's fate depend on on the battlefield? Of course there are personal efforts in this, but more importantly, isn't it God's will? God feels that someone shouldn't die, so will there be any bullet that can hit him against God's will? If God feels that he needs to send someone to heaven to accompany him to chat, then he just buries his head in the sand and the bullet can't hit him? Therefore, all those who try to avoid bullets by relying on trenches and the like are ungodly guys who do not want to trust God. This is like in later generations, people who believe in God will never wear a mask when the plague appears. Nor will it stop gathering to listen to sermons just because of the nonsense of those ungodly scientists. They can only press the "Bible" to order the virus to disperse, just like the evil spirits.
　　 So although under the strong pressure of the military order, the small southern slave owners reluctantly dug trenches, the quality of the trenches was in a mess. All kinds of cutting corners. Neither the depth nor the number of turns meet the requirements. The French consultants strongly urged them to rework. However, the French were only consultants and had no right to directly order, and the US military commander General Andrew was worried that forcing soldiers to return to work would cause mutiny, so the fortifications had no choice but to do so.
　　Because of the lack of understanding of military development, the U.S. military has also encountered problems in the provision of materials. The U.S. Army has a wired musket and a wired musket. But it lacks some inconspicuous, but very critical things, such as barbed wire, such as landmines.
　　Although French consultants strongly demanded that there be barbed wire and landmines. Americans are required to search or order these things immediately, but these things are really hard to buy in a short time. There is nothing in Louisiana. The barbed wire was bought by French people who usually speak more German than French to protect their own foundations from the destruction of bison. The mines are all sold to Mexicans. So at this time, these two key things are really impossible to buy.
　　 Under these conditions, with the help of French consultants, the U.S. military has put out a "Joseph-style defense" that lacks the weight. But even so, the French advisory team still felt that with the advantage of numbers and, in any case, the morale of the US military is still high, the US military should be able to block the British army here.
　　 But the process of the battle made the French advisory group completely dumbfounded.
　　 When the British army launched an offensive, those American troops were still able to squat in the trenches and shoot; but because there were no mines, no barbed wire, and of course no broad swords. It is difficult to stop the enemy from approaching with artillery and rifles alone. After paying some casualties, the Canadians still approached the trenches of the US military.
　　At this time, if there is a barbed wire fence, they should be stopped by the barbed wire and then become a living target; if there is a broad sword, it is a steel ball that can directly paste their face. But in the absence of these things, what if the enemy forces have already come up? Of course, it was an immediate bayonet charge to knock down the enemy.
　　 This plan was also approved by the French advisory group. So the little slave owners got bayonets too, and rushed out of the trenches where they had long been unwilling to squat.
　　 Relying on the superiority of numbers, the American army prevailed in the bayonet battle and the Canadians began to retreat. According to the original arrangement, if the Canadians retreat, the US troops should return to their positions and continue to stand firm. But where are those little slave owners willing to squat in the trenches at this time? They felt that this was a complete defeat of the British, and they also let those timid, impious Frenchmen see how the real world number one army fought. So these guys just caught up.
　　 If it's just these guys who catch up, it's fine, because there are other troops behind, anyway, there are many American soldiers. But what was unexpected to the French was that the Southerners who were guarding in the trenches at the back saw their comrades in front catch up and spontaneously jumped out of the trenches and launched a charge without waiting for orders.
　　 Then... and after they rushed out for a certain distance, they were covered with grenade shells from British artillery, and suffered heavy casualties. However, these little slave owners were the heads of iron, and they continued to rush forward with such casualties, and then they were severely overshadowed by the insidious British with a copy of the broadsword. Then their assault formation became a mess. The British would naturally not let this opportunity pass. They immediately put more than a thousand cavalry in their hands. Then the U.S. army was destroyed. They ran to their positions again, and the British followed them to kill.
　　 The tactical level of the little slave owners is actually messed up. At this time, they just ran to their positions, but instead they became a cover for the British army behind. The French consultants were so angry that they suggested firing directly at them. Of course, the French proposal was not adopted. The consequence of this proposal not being adopted is that the entire defense of the US military has been disrupted by its own defeat. The British took the opportunity to plunge into the main onslaught, and one guy smashed the American army.
　　 Pittsburgh was naturally unable to defend. In the end, General Andrew fled back to Washington with only a thousand people. Among the more than 1,000 people, more than 100 are members of the French advisory group ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Now from Pittsburgh to Washington, there is no longer any established American army. No one can stop the British army anymore. The French advisory team also believes that under the current circumstances, there is no longer a possibility to hold Washington. President Jefferson had to take the government to make an emergency transfer to Richmond in the south. As soon as their front feet left, the British cavalry appeared in the suburbs of Washington.
　　 The appearance of the British cavalry caused chaos in Washington, and citizens fled from Washington. So a few days later, when the main British forces arrived in Washington, it was already an empty city.
　　In the original history, the British set a fire in the U.S. Presidential Palace and burned the entire Presidential Palace to black. Later, after the Americans returned to Washington, they painted the entire presidential palace white in order to cover up the traces of being burned, and the American presidential palace became the "White House." So the White House looks white on the outside, but all black under the white. To say that this is indeed very American.
　　 But in that time and space, the British or Canadians burned the White House because the Americans first set off a fire in Toronto. In this time and space, the Americans never got the chance to burn Toronto. Therefore, Canadians did not burn the US presidential palace.
　　 But Canadians are not doing nothing. They launched a graffiti competition at the US Presidential Palace. They felt that the decoration of the Presidential Palace in the United States was too tasteless, so they helped them renovate the Presidential Palace in a post-modern style. For example, on the wall of the president’s office, there is an extra sentence: "Dear Yankees, we will come back often to check your academic performance on the'Art of War'."
