Chapter 2772: Resurgence of beacon smoke (Ⅱ)

It was out of these practical concerns that the plan for the southward operation proposed by the aides was put on hold at the desk of the Earl of Winthrop for three months. It was not until the end of March 1627 that huge international and domestic pressure forced him to make a decision. Take the risk and execute this combat plan.
International pressure mainly refers to the fact that the authorities of the Far East Kolas Empire and the Canaan Kingdom openly recognized the "Continental Conference" as a legal regime and concluded an alliance with them.
Once the news was announced, Fei Zhen's government was shaken.
In fact, as early as the end of the Battle of Baden, there was a huge wave of anti-war in Fijian. The left-wing people, mainly students, workers, and intellectuals, responded to the appeal of the Fair Party politicians in Avalon. Several large-scale demonstrations were launched on the streets, and even the cabinet's official residence was once enclosed to protest the brutal suppression of the New World compatriots by the North government of the Party of Order, and demanded a peaceful settlement of the colonial disputes.
When the news that the Far East and Canaan announced the conclusion of an alliance with the Continental Congress reached Avalon, the leftists were greatly encouraged and immediately organized a larger wave of anti-war demonstrations. This time they directly demanded "advance". "Hold a general election" slogan.
In Feizhen, a country with a constitutional parliamentary monarchy, early elections often mean that the ruling party encounters a major crisis. If changes are not made in time, the current cabinet is highly likely to lose the election and collapse.
The latest issue of the press poll showed that the approval rate of the North cabinet has fallen below 40%, adding a disgraceful new record to the party of Order’s ruling history.
Feizhen’s
The Sun
with the largest circulation in China even jokingly said: In the red light district of Avalon, just find a street girl with a big breast and and put it in the position of prime minister. It is impossible to compare the respectable Lord North. It's worse!
Seeing that the prints of girls in suspenders and stockings juxtaposed with his portrait in a tuxedo and wig were publicly published in the newspaper, and they were deliberately designed into the style of election posters, Prime Minister North felt a lot of pressure...
Under the common oppression of internal and external troubles, Lord North instructed the Cabinet of Colonial Secretary to send a severely worded letter to Earl Winthrop, asking him to win a decisive victory before the 1627 summer general election, otherwise Parliament and His Majesty the King Without serious consideration of changing the colonial policy, Earl Winthrop’s position of governor and military command were revoked, and he tried to appease the rebels in the New World through negotiations.
Three generations of the Winthrop family's grandparents have served in the New World. How can they be willing to give up the foundation that their ancestors have worked so hard for for many years?
In order to preserve his authority and reputation, Rolls Winthrop had to set his mind and set his sights on the south of the New World.
On April 6, 1627, just a week after the Kolas Empire and the Canaan Kingdom formally announced their alliance with the Continental Congress, Earl Winthrop responded with a strong action and personally led an army of 20,000 to board the ship from Freeport. , Under the of William Howe's fleet, embarked on a journey south to Alfheim.
…
As soon as the Winthrop Corps got on the ship, the agents of the "Son of Freedom" sent the news to Forge Valley.
General Vassar convened a meeting with his generals immediately, and analyzed the intentions of Fiji's side based on this information.
The generals quickly reached a consensus and agreed that Earl Winthrop led an army of 20,000 to board the ship. It was clear that he wanted to bypass the main force of the Continental Army that guarded the north-south land traffic arteries and landed in Asia along the "Machete Coast". Wolfheim, captured Prince Port and cut off the Continental Army's supply line.
The enemy's intentions are clear. The question is how to deal with it?
At this stage of the meeting, the differences can be big!
The senior officers in the Continental Army Command have always had deep-rooted local ideas, divided into two factions, the southern and northern factions.
The "Southern faction" military officer group, headed by General Charles Gates, including Nathaniel Green and Magny Poitan, are mostly from prominent families, highly respected, highly qualified, and quite famous and morale.
The "Northern faction" officer group, led by General Benedict Laval, represented by Colonel Wall Stone, "Stonewall", and Arnold Laval, a cavalry lieutenant colonel, the younger brother of General Laval, members Most of them are young and strong officers who have emerged in recent years. They may not have high official ranks and may not be distinguished by their backgrounds. However, they are the backbone of the Continental Army who can fight hardest and have the strongest fighting spirit.
The commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, George Vassar, was also an officer from the South, but he did not position himself as a member of the Southern faction. He advocated balancing the forces of the North and the South, mediating the two sides to ease the contradiction, and considering the overall situation. In fact, he was between the North and South factions. Buffer valve".
With Vassar, the two factions can seek common ground while reserving differences and work together to fight against the common enemy, but if Vassar leaves the position of commander-in-chief, the two factions can fight against each other on their own, and don't talk about fighting for independence and freedom. .
The North-South contradiction between the commanding class of the Continental Army, with the "Baden Victory" as the dividing line, the victory on the battlefield, on the contrary, further intensified the North-South contradiction in the army.
The young and strong army officer from the north insisted that General Gates was a despicable villain!
This man has a very mediocre ability to fight, but he is a good player in office politics and power struggle. He shamelessly stole the honor that should belong to General Laval, and claimed to be the first minister of the "Baden Victory". It was shameless!
However, the Southern faction also has something to say.
Before the "Great Victory of Baden", did the Continental Army under the leadership of the northern officers fought a beautiful victory in Jotunheim and Midgard?
no?
You always say that "Southerners" have many hearts and are keen to engage in political struggles, but no matter how we fight internally, we still have principles. When it is time to cooperate, we can still let go of our prejudices and never open our skin.
Talking about the needle hidden in the cotton, you can understand it by yourself.
This is called fighting but not breaking, polite and courteous.
It's not like some savage Yankees, who have no bottom line, yelling in front of them, openly raising the table, rolling up their sleeves and punching their bosses-this is not what a decent person does!
Before the "Great Victory in Baden", the southern officers, including General Gates, belonged to the minority in the Continental Army. They were bullied enough. For the sake of independence, they could only endure the humiliation and finally had a beautiful fight in the Baden Wetlands. Turn around.
The Yankee couldn't sit still anymore, jealous, and came running noisily and clamoring for power. It was really shameful and embarrassing!
Having said that, as the top commander of the battle of Baden, General Gates, his troops won the battle, shouldn't it be attributed to the commander's command in the first place?
