Chapter 460: The Northern European War

"Marson, all the materials have been loaded and unloaded, and the Navy requested to evacuate." A communication officer came to Dawu's side and reported to him.

"Well. Let them go first, don't forget to thank them." Dawu said with a smile. Although it was the General Staff's order to replenish supplies to the 1st French Army, it would definitely be impossible to complete without the strong assistance of the Navy.

The communications officer nodded and quickly left.

In less than half an hour, the escort fleet escorted the transport fleet away. After all, this is still an area of ​​the US Navy's activity, and it will still be threatening after staying for a long time. Although the escort fleet is very powerful, they are not afraid of the US fleet, but the more than 300 transport ships have no combat effectiveness. Once they encounter the US fleet, the escort fleet will definitely not be able to withdraw from them to protect them. These are all important equipment for France to land on the American continent in the future! If they suffer losses, they will not make Xiao Jie and others feel distressed.

"How long will it take for us to transport all the supplies?" Dawu asked a staff officer beside him as he looked at the mountains of various materials on the beach.

"It will take about two days." The staff officer replied. The newly added 60,000 troops were also invested in the team for transporting materials at this time. In this way, their transportation progress will be greatly improved.

"How is the situation with Marshal Brad now?" Dawu asked. After all, there are still two days left for these supplies to be transported away, which also means that the 20,000 people led by Brad have to last for two days by the Kolantain River.

"The telegram sent by Marshal Brad has been successfully blocked on the south bank of the Corlandeine River. Due to the heavy rains recently, the water volume of the Corlandeine River has increased dramatically, and the US military lacks large-scale crossing equipment, so Marshal Brad and others are under no pressure now." The staff officer replied.

Dawu nodded and said nothing. This was very beneficial to the French army. Originally, Dawu had already believed that the 20,000 troops that blocked the US army would definitely suffer heavy losses after the war. But he did not expect that this would be the case. He couldn't help but call God for blessing. At the same time, he secretly planned in his heart that the joining of 60,000 reinforcements would inevitably lead to the strength of the French 1st Legion, and the pattern of South America would also change. He believed that after these 60,000 Dajun adapted to the climate and terrain of South America, he would have to launch several attacks to re-stabilize the French army's control area in northern South America.

Two days later, all the supplies on the beach were moved. Dawu ordered the communications soldiers: "Give power to Marshal Brad and tell him that he could retreat."

After receiving Dawu's order, Brad led his troops to retreat from the north bank of the Kolantaiyin River. During the past few days of blockade, they suffered thousands of casualties. However, the casualties they caused to the US military were far more than that.

It was only after the French troops were all withdrawn to the Guyana Plateau that the US troops were able to reoccupy Georgetown. At the same time, news that the French troops were replenished was also spread to El Salvador and Washington.

After Washington learned of this news, he immediately sent a very harsh telegram to the South American Command. Originally, the United States and Canada were already in a defensive position in the future war, and the French army active in northern South America was undoubtedly a very important threat. Originally, Washington's meaning was very simple, even if the South American Command was asked to clear all French forces in South America and control the entire South America in its hands, so that in the future war, it could use the rich resources of the American continent to fight with France and eventually defeat France. However, the inability to clear France's army in South America lay a serious hidden danger for their plan. In the end, US President Adams, Secretary of State Brandon, Chief of Staff Zominsk, and Henry, the head of the Army Department, jointly issued an order requiring Cavinster to destroy all US troops within half a year.

This serious order was issued, which immediately increased the burden of the entire South American headquarters. Carlster's face was even bitter. Originally, the French army had only tens of thousands of people and was short of medical treatment and medicine. They had spent countless energy to destroy the French army. Now the French army has received a large amount of supplementary materials and 60,000 troops. It would be even more impossible for the US military to destroy the French army.

In order to complete this task, Cavenster had to draw a large number of troops stationed in other parts of South America, hoping to concentrate the main force and use its strength to annihilate the French army in one fell swoop. In South America, plus the Canadian army, Cavenster was able to mobilize a total of 500,000 troops. This time he was preparing to gather 400,000 troops in one fell swoop and encircle the Guyana Plateau. However, it was not easy to assemble such a huge army. It would take at least two months to accomplish it. Even Cavenster himself could not guarantee whether the task could be completed in the end.

While Cavinster was dispatching troops, Dawu had already carried out emergency training for the 60,000 newly added troops and was preparing to launch a counterattack against the US military, using an active attack strategy to break the US military's upcoming encirclement of the Guinean Plateau.

The success of cross-border supply made Xiao Jie and others feel relieved. With the addition of 60,000 troops and a large amount of supplies, he believed that with the ability of Dawu and Brad, there should be no problem in the French counterattack on the American continent.

Afterwards, Xiao Jie's attention turned to Northern Europe, which is the only place where wars are still in progress on the European continent. Moreover, the French army seemed to be sure to win.

"Eck, how is the progress of the Nordic war at present?" Xiao Jie asked with a smile. The development of the Nordic war is also very important for France. Especially Sweden's high-quality iron ore, which plays an immeasurable role in improving France's actual strength.

"The war went very smoothly. Yesterday, our army had conquered Os, the capital of Norway. Unfortunately, the Swedish king and the government cabinet members all fled to the United States in advance. At most one week, our army will be able to occupy the entire territory of Norway, and at the same time, we can establish defense lines on the western coast of Norway to eliminate the threat from the United States and Canada to Nordic Europe." Eck said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if the Norwegian king runs away with the cabinet members. What's important is that the Norwegian treasury, royal family and the property of those cabinet members is still there." Xiao Jie said indifferently. Xiao Jie was not interested in the king who had no power and a group of fat cabinet members.

"It is probably because they fled in a hurry and didn't have time to transfer a lot of wealth and let us take advantage." Eck also said with a smile. He was not surprised by His Majesty's greedy nature of money. He knew that this batch of seized wealth would eventually be used as military expenses or all become weapons and equipment used by the army or naval warships, and would never enter Xiao Jie's own wallet.

"Then have you found the front line statistics? How much wealth has you seized this time?" Xiao Jie asked with some excitement.

"The front line is still conducting classification statistics, but the estimated value is more than 500 million francs," Eck said.

500 million francs are almost the military expenditure of the French army this time, not to mention a Swedish royal family that is much richer than Norway. If it is not done well, all the expenses of the Atlantic Fleet warships and domestic investments to restore the economy will be settled.

"How is Marshal Monty's progress? When will he be able to capture Stockholm?" Xiao Jie asked.

"At present, Marshal Monty's army is in a stalemate with the main Swedish force in the North Kopin area. In order to reduce casualties, Marshal Monty is not prepared to forcibly attack. Instead, he chose to drag the main Swedish army into this area, and Marshal Lans's 3rd French regiment completes the mission of capturing Stockholm." Eck explained.

Of course, Xiao Jie was not unhappy with the fact that he could die less. This would save the country a lot of pensions. "I remember Marshal Lans's 3rd French Corps was still in the Orland Islands, right?" Xiao Jie said. Although he appreciated Monty's plan, he also hoped to end the Nordic war as soon as possible.

"Yes. But Marshal Lans and the Baltic Fleet are already ready to start a landing at any time." Eck said.

"Then when will your General Staff plan to initiate the login?" Xiao Jie asked. Now, he usually no longer inquire about military operations in person. The specific combat plan has been handed over to the General Staff and the Supreme Command. However, the combat orders of the General Staff and the Supreme Command must be handed over to him for approval before they can be issued and implemented.

"The Supreme Command's plan is to be set in three days. If you have no objection to this, you can issue the order to the 3rd French Legion, the Baltic Fleet and Marshal Monty." Eck said.

"Just do what you said, I have no objection." Xiao Jie said lightly.

"Then I will issue combat orders as soon as possible." Eck said.

Afterwards, the two talked about the construction of Eastern Europe and the future Atlantic strategy. It was not until noon that Eke left the palace.
