Chapter 447: ， Withdrawal

If the Canadians who entered the U.S. Presidential Palace this time were all authentic, it would be nothing more than English-speaking Canadians. Although those guys are very bad, they have limited artistic cells. They don’t have much creativity in scribbling. At most, they just get some red paint and write messy things, such as nonsense that starts with the letter F, for example, " I’m F and Y", something with no technical content.
　　 But there are French-speaking guys from Quebec among Canadians. Quebec was originally a colony of the French. Later, in the Seven Years' War, the French lost to the British, and this colony was returned to Britain. But the main local residents still speak French. It just became a French-speaking Englishman. It's like now in Louisiana, there are French people who speak German everywhere.
　　 It is said that these French-speaking guys do not have a high sense of identity with Britain. To be honest, they didn't have a high sense of identity with Canada, and until a few hundred years later, they were not threatening to vote for independence. But at this time, they are very keen to beat the Americans. This is of course because the Americans persecute Catholics!
　　 I want to say that many of the British immigrants who first came to the North American continent were to avoid the Anglican's persecution of the Puritans. But the so-called young dragon slaying always turned into a dragon in the end. Once this group of guys who believed in Calvin's ideas established their own country, they immediately began to persecute other heretics, such as Catholicism.
　　 But this can be regarded as a traditional art of Calvinism. When Calvin was still being persecuted by the Catholic Church, he wrote very sincerely in his most important book "Principles of Religion": "It is sinful to put heretics to death, and it is against them to end their lives with fire and sword. All principles of humanity.
But after Calvin became the de facto ruler of Geneva, he immediately used a heresy called Serveto that did not recognize the "Trinity" to make a big barbecue.
　　 So as Puritan, after these Calvinists gained power in the United States, they learned from their teachers and attacked those "undious heretics". Many Catholics fled to the French-speaking part of Canada, and they brought this kind of religious hatred.
　　 In terms of art, people who speak French are better than those who speak English. For example, when Pvt. Bill from Ottawa was carrying a bucket of black paint and was about to write a vulgar text on the desk of the President of the United States, his friend Louis from Quebec grabbed him.
　　 "What are you going to write on this?" Louis asked.
　　 "Of course, Jefferson, I am your family. What else?" the simple Bill asked rhetorically.
"This is too imaginative! This is really... listen to me! First, you have to change a bucket of red paint, and then you have to write something like this:'Dear President Jefferson, I'm on your desk, Having a good time with your sisters and daughters, and using what they shed, I wrote you a letter here, and they all said, I can do more than you...'"
　　 "Wow! Louie, you are such a bad thing! However, such a picture is very interesting, hahaha... just do it!"
　　 Then Bill went to change a bucket of red paint...
In addition to the text, those French-speaking guys also left a lot of paintings in the presidential palace. What Calvin went to hell? What Calvin took the Puritans to kneel and lick Lucifer in hell. To say that the paintings are quite realistic. .
　　 In addition, Canadians also found a secret passage under the US Presidential Palace, but this secret passage seems to have been a long time since no one has entered, and they don’t know what it is for.
　　 But the British offensive basically ended here. Before receiving domestic reinforcements, the British, or Canadians, faced this big problem that could not be solved, that is, their military strength and logistical limits were very low. Now that the fight is like this, it basically reached the limit of military strength and logistics. The logistics line from Cleveland to Washington is constantly being disturbed by the Americans.
Just like in another time and space, after Napoleon took Moscow again, and stopped in Moscow, hoping to see the emissary sent by the Tsar to pray for peace, General Isaac Block also took his army to stay in Washington. For a week to wait for the peace ambassadors the Americans might send.
　　 But although the Americans have suffered a few consecutive defeats, they do not intend to seek peace immediately. The Americans know that the strength of Canadians has reached its limit. As long as the US Navy can continue to block Canadian air routes, the strength of Canadians will always be exhausted. Even if negotiations are necessary, negotiations at that time will be better than they are now. Negotiations are much better.
　　 On the other hand, the Americans were beaten by the British on the frontal battlefield. But the vigorous Yankee does things like harassment ~EbookFREE.me~ but it still has great potential for development. American people have many guns, and the guns they buy at their own expense are generally better in performance than the guns the country purchases for the military. And because they play a lot with guns, they have good marksmanship. So riding on horses, bringing guns, and attacking the British logistics team from time to time, it did very well.
　　 So after staying for a week, General Isaac Bullock led the army back along the same route. Just like in the original history, when Napoleon withdrew from Russia, the Russian Cossacks followed Napoleon's army and constantly attacked Napoleon's army, continuously bringing huge losses to the French army.
　　 But the situation of the British army is much stronger than Napoleon in another time and space. The American militia did spontaneously follow behind the British army and tried to attack the retreating British army. But the distance the British needed to retreat was much closer, and more importantly, there was no strong Winter General on the American side.
　　 So the British retreat to Cleveland went quite smoothly. Most of the American cavalry who tried to take advantage of them got nothing, and some were even beaten by the British counterattack. The British not only returned to Cleveland smoothly, but also robbed everything they could rob along the way. The British also knew that if reinforcements were not dispatched quickly in the country, the British might be their biggest enemy in North America in the coming period. It is the shortage of materials.
　　 For a period of time since then, the British army, centered on Cleveland, used its control of the waterways of the Great Lakes to continuously harass nearby Americans and looting their towns and farms. Then send all these things back to Canada through the waterway.
