Chapter 3022: Siege

Both Qiao An and Rebecca were the founders of the "Life Foundation". They took a magical airship to Shizhu Town and brought back 6000 vaccines the next morning, which solved the urgent need of the Continental Army.
On the other hand, the Continental Congress also received a report from the headquarters that Winthrop and Cornwalli completely removed their masks of hypocrisy and used black soldiers as "human flesh virus bombs." After shock, they were overjoyed and organized overnight. He wrote a number of "pens", wrote articles exposing and criticizing this despicable conspiracy, and delivered them to mainstream newspapers in various countries, and the more important public opinion position than newspapers was in the "cloud network."
In hindsight, the public opinion offensive launched by the Continental Congress was very successful!
If before today, people's evaluation of Earl Winthrop was still positive, thinking that he at least set an example in the liberation of slaves, and when the tragedy of Leiden was exposed, this man was destined to escape his fame. The sweeping and stinking end of thousands of years.
In fact, not only Winthrop and Cornwallis were condemned as "hypocrites" by the pens of the Continental Congress, but even the progressive movement to liberate slaves itself was impacted by this incident and attracted many voices of doubt. .
The delegates of the Continental Congress used this opportunity to expand the scope of attack and questioned that the leaders of the abolitionist movement, like Winthrop and Cornwallis, were hypocrites who said one thing and did one thing. Under their contrast, the New World’s The slave-owner class seems to be less hateful.
These attacks have caused a big blow to the abolitionist movement. What's more sad is that many black slaves have also been affected by such propaganda, and they have lost trust in the leaders of the abolitionist movement and those white-skinned progressives.
The above-mentioned various factors worked together to cause the vigorous abolition of slavery in the New World to a low ebb in the summer of 1628.
The exposing articles written by the Continental Congress were quickly printed into leaflets and sent to the forefront of the war.
Now the Continental Army has mastered the air dominance on the battlefield and dispatched a large group of giant eagle aviation troops to throw bundles of flyers on the streets and alleys of Leiden.
Count Winthrop's gendarmerie hurriedly dispatched and collected the flyers along the street, but they were of no use. Most of the flyers had already been quietly read by the soldiers and civilians in the city.
The "Freedom Corps" in the city, which was composed of black fugitives, received the strongest stimulus after learning about the contents of the flyer, and protested with grief and indignation.
On the evening of the day when the flyers were thrown, there were more than ten camps in the city with no less than 3,000 soldiers in a mutiny-in addition to the black soldiers who learned that their compatriots had been betrayed, but also many of the royalists, who were desperate for the prospects of war. White colonists.
The Great Eagle Aviation, who was investigating the sky over the city at night, observed the riots and conflicts on the streets of Leiden, and immediately reported to the headquarters.
On the same night, the generals headed by George Vassar who were in a meeting at the Allied Forces Headquarters agreed that:
The time for siege is ripe!
...
In the early morning of June 14th, the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, George Vassar, officially issued the command of the general offensive. The Far East Fleet that blocked the Pique Bay drove into the port of Leiden with great strength. Saturation bombing of military targets in the city of Dayton.
In the naval battle that broke out half a month ago, not only the ships of Feizhen's side were seriously injured, but the Jew Aviation was also wiped out by the Far East Navy’s anti-aircraft fire. The matter has now completely lost air supremacy, unable to fly in the blue sky. The knights are fighting.
In addition to the mutiny in the city, the hidden "sons of freedom" took the opportunity to move around to investigate the garrison situation of the Fijian military clearly, including how many anti-aircraft fortresses, where they are installed, and where How many troops were stationed, detailed information was sent to the front desk of the Continental Army Command outside the city two days ago.
The air raid launched on June 14 was well-prepared. The anti-aircraft turrets in the city were bombarded in the first round of air raids. The gravel-stacked fort was bombarded into quicksand by heavy bombs falling from the sky. The only thing the city officers and soldiers could do was hug their heads and curl up in the trenches, praying that the bomb would not fall on their heads.
The combined bombing of warships in the port and airships in the air lasted all morning, dumping thousands of tons of alchemical gunpowder on the streets of Leiden Harbor, turning the entire city into a sea of ​​flames.
In response to this massive general offensive, the Continental Army also launched a "media war" ingeniously.
The Battle of Leiden Port opened a new chapter in the history of world warfare. It was the first large-scale battle in which journalists from various countries were allowed to watch the battle on the spot.
As early as three days ago, the representatives of the Continental Congress sent invitation letters to the mainstream newspapers of the Varese countries, inviting them to send war reporters to the front lines to report on the actual situation of the war.
What's more surprising is that three newspapers in the capital of Avalon, Feizhen, have also received invitations. The Continental Army does not seem to worry about them acting as spies.
In fact, this is no longer war, but the Continental Army and its allies are flexing their muscles and holding a grand armed celebration, and the dead Feizhen officers and soldiers in the city are the lambs serving as sacrifices in this cruel celebration.
At 6 o'clock in the morning on June 14th, before the air raid, a total of 364 media practitioners from various countries boarded a "Dawn-class" small airship specially prepared for them by the Continental Army. A glance.
Looking down from this angle, you can clearly see the towers of nearly a hundred logs erected in front of the Continental Army positions, which look like sentry towers or arrow towers. In fact, they are not such primitive military equipment, but are temporarily erected by engineering teams from the Far East. "Magic Broadcasting Tower".
On these towers, large black iron boxes are placed, which are the terminals of Magic Broadcasting, which are large versions of home radios.
Through horn-like loudspeakers, these broadcasting towers launched a psychological offensive against the enemy forces in the city from morning to night, and broadcasted every two hours a surrender message drafted by Major Holden Zion and recorded by General Vassar himself. .
In the rest of the time, broadcast the pens of the Continental Congress to expose the despicable acts of Winthrop and Cornwallis and use black soldiers and the royalists to spread the smallpox virus, and call on the soldiers and civilians in the city to lay down their weapons and stop their stubborn resistance. Call.
The female Continental Army soldier serving as the position announcer has a crisp voice and a strong voice, and with the provocative article, even observers can't help but be moved.
On the eve of the general offensive, the reporters in the airship received another shocking news.
The naval guns had not fired, and the bombing team had not yet launched, the radio station on the position publicly issued an air attack warning to the soldiers and civilians in the city-15 minutes earlier than the air defense warning in the city!
