To the northeast of Dongzhou, to the southeast of the Three Lakes, and at the confluence of the Three Rivers, gunpowder smoke fills the air, and the fleur-de-lis flag of the French royal family still flutters over Fort Uquesne [1]. The Redwood Army from mainland Britain and the militiamen of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia fell from the battlefield. They were exhausted physically and mentally and were close to despair.
"General Fobes, if the mainland does not send the main army, our Pittsburgh plan will fail. The French will stand firmly here, like iron pliers, strangling the throats of our thirteen states!"
The commander of the First Army of Virginia, the young Colonel George Washington, who was only thirty years old, complained to the commander of the Union Army, Major General George Furbes of the British Army.
"Didn't your colonial militia boast that it could match the British Army? What kind of stuff are they in the end? Tramps, drunkards, thieves and anarchists, not even the Indians who follow the French! Colonel Washington, I really hope you and Your colonial people are one-third as capable of winning wars as they are of starting wars!"
Phobes mocked the young hero of Virginia mercilessly. In his view, all the people in the Thirteen States were greedy and shameless, idiots who only knew how to get into trouble, and Washington was their outstanding representative.
The territorial conflicts between France and Britain in North America have never stopped, but they are all dominated by sporadic stronghold battles. London and the thirteen states had the same interest in expanding their colonies westward. But in actual implementation, London gradually lost its dominance.
The inertia from the existing history of Europe and North America pushed the situation to evolve step by step. Although there was a difference in time, the North American Indian War broke out earlier than the European War. The original cause came from Mr. Washington.
When Mr. Washington raided the French fort built in the Ohio Valley, he recklessly attacked the French envoys. His Indian allies also brutally killed the envoys and scalped them, which led to a conflict between Britain and France earlier than the European War. At that time, war started in North America [2].
Phobese¡¯s taunting was just to vent his anger. Now he, Washington, and the militiamen of the thirteen states are all in the same boat. The North American Indian War is already part of the global war, and he can only fight it to the end. He was charged with the task of capturing Fort Eucken. This fort is located in the lower reaches of the Ohio River. It not only controls the waterways of the Ohio, Monongahela and Allegheny rivers, but also thorns in the westward path of the northern thirteen states.
Unlike the history of another dimension where the local Pennsylvania colonists easily captured Fort Yuken, the French teamed up with the Indians to repair the fort here and stockpile a large amount of arms and food. Phobes's strategy of using a small British army and a large colonial militia to seize the fortress was almost shattered.
"Reinforcements We need reinforcements, Mr. Washington, mobilize your Indian allies!"
Phobese's order was Washington's nightmare, and he was pacing back and forth in his tent, restless. The Indians attached to the Thirteen States have already mobilized. Where can they find more reinforcements?
"George, there is a group of people who are looking for the British commander. They say they are British allies."
His Indian friend. The leader of the Tuscarora tribe from the Iroquois Confederacy reported such news. When he asked about the origin of this group of horses, the Indian leader looked very confused: "They said they were Americans. The United Emirates of America, well, these are the people. word. But I could see that many of them were Apaches from the southern prairie, as well as Cherokee and Chinook Indians from the mountains further west. The leading yellow-skinned man had never seen him before ¡¡±
??Yellow skin
Before Washington could wake up, he was completely caught by the word "ally". When he saw the other party, the memories of more than 20 years ago suddenly came to his mind.
Siris! When Anson, the British admiral, fled to the Thirteen States, the Serris people pursued him all the way. He even bombarded Baltimore. At that time, he was still a child of seven or eight years old. He followed his father to Baltimore to pay homage to the Siris treasures. He saw the majesty of the Siris battleship with his own eyes and experienced the arrogance and tenacity of the Siris people.
Thinking again of the fact that the Seres acquired Alta California in Spain and are now thriving in the westernmost part of the continent. Through New Spain's transit trade, various types of merchandise were continuously imported, and a voice shouted in Washington's heart: This is a true ally!
"Welcome, distinguished friends Siris"
In front of Washington¡¯s outstretched arms were Wang Yingdong and Sang Ying. The former's father, Wang Lin, was the chief priest of Puzhou Tianmiao, and the latter's father, Sang Jujiu, had been the chief priest of Puzhou for 20 years. Although the two of them also wore Indian headdresses, they were all dressed in British style, and with their yellow skin and dark eyes, they were completely different from Indians in appearance and temperament.
"Mr. Washington, can youFrance, Spain, the Ohio Valley, the three Great Lakes areas, and even the Mississippi River Basin, this vast hinterland of North America, are still owned by France. In order to get this land, even if it means joining forces with the devil.
"Britain and the Thirteen States welcome Siris allies and American friends"
On the battlefield, Forbes, Washington and others enthusiastically expressed their welcome again. Behind Pu Balang, Wang Yingdong, Sang Ying and others, hundreds of "American soldiers", British officers and soldiers, and militiamen from the thirteen states raised their guns and cheered.
In the forty-three years of the Holy Path, on September 3, 1761, the French garrison at Fort Euquenn suffered heavy losses one after another. First, they lost a considerable part of the Indian allies, and then the defense line was bombarded by a large number of light grenades. Several commanders were also killed by snipers. Killed, Fort Yuken finally fell.
With the help of Seris and the United States, Fort Yucken was not renamed Pittsburgh as planned as a gift to the British Prime Minister Peter the Elder. Instead, it was changed to commemorate the unity of all parties, hence the name Fort Union.
Of course, the name of this place has changed several times over the past century, first to Fort Friendship, then to Fort Liberation, then to Fort Liberty, Fort Union, Fort Peace, and finally the original name of Pittsburgh was used, which also proves that it is difficult for the Union to persist for hundreds of years. This truth.
No matter what, Yinghua and Britain still joined forces in North America. Just like on the European battlefield, outside the city of Berlin, which was almost in ruins, the Prince of Britain, the Duke of Cumberland, and General Yue Jingzhong of the Royal Army of Siris looked at each other enthusiastically. generally. The two of them held each other's hands tightly and shook for three minutes without stopping.
"Damn Siris, when this war is over, go back to the other side of the earth!"
"Hypocritical Britons, if you don't cut off enough of your flesh, never think about us Britain withdrawing from Europa!"
The two of them were smiling, with tears in their eyes, but these words were rolling in their hearts.
