The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 85 United States of America
In this era, limited by the backwardness of the transportation environment and tools, the progress of the war was very slow. Even though the thousands of Yuri legions led by Yuri were not large in number, it took several days to enter North Carolina. .

However, unlike South Carolina, which was heavily defensive, Yuri's troops encountered no resistance after entering North Carolina.

Not to mention the local colonial regular army in North Carolina, I didn't even see the militia composed of gun-toting mobs.

It wasn't until the soldiers of Yuri's army entered a small town with the Mi Ziqi flag that Yuri figured out what happened.

"General, we have strictly interrogated the townspeople, the mayor, the sheriff and others in this town.

The five continents in the north are independent! "

Since Yuri officially became a general, the system followers under his command have changed their full-fledged titles in the second class, and they are called General Yuri like everyone else.

In this era, the general is the title of the highest honor in the army. After all, the word marshal is not exclusive to the United Kingdom.

"What? So fast?
Is the news accurate? "

"It is true, but North Carolina did not join the Declaration of Independence, because Wilmington, the capital of North Carolina, has been occupied by the British army!"

The thirteen states in North America do not have communication tools such as telegraphs, so the dissemination of news either relies on communication ships or fast horse transmissions. Since the port was blocked by the British Navy, communication has become very lagging.

"Roger Sherman of Colonial Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Colonial Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson of Colonial Virginia, John Adams of Colonial Massachusetts, and Robert R. Livingston of Colonial New York formed the Independence committee.

They won the support of most of the municipal councils on the five continents and the support of the local regular army, and declared that they would establish the United States of America belonging to the Americans.

These five continents are now the territory of the United States of America, and those five people form the highest temporary authority of the United States of America, the Committee of Five.

Of course, the official term is called an independent committee.

Anyway, what people in the Americas like most is to establish committees one by one. Only in this way can they represent the spirit of democracy. "

"These five states are the essence of the northern colonial states. The industry is very developed. There are British troops stationed there, and there are governors and aristocrats to check and balance. How do you say that independence means independence?"

Yuri looked puzzled.

"General, this is all thanks to you.

Since we captured Savannah and fired the first shot, the London government has begun to assemble and dispatch the British troops directly under the northern states. The London government never thought that the northern states would have the courage to rebel. "

"Well, is this also the information I got from those townspeople?"

Yuri asked, frowning.

"Of course not. We caught two British deserters in this town. They were transferred from Philadelphia not long ago and know a lot of information."

Yuri nodded and said, "Continue."

"The London government mobilized tens of thousands of British troops and tens of thousands of colonial regulars led by Anglophiles into North Carolina.

As a result, the British troops in the northern states were drawn out, leaving only some port cities with a large number of British garrisons.

Of course, there are still quite a few regular colonial troops, and even more militias.

However, not long after the [-] troops went south, the London government began to mobilize more than [-]% of the regular army and [-]% of the militia from the northern states, and expanded the recruitment of immigrants on a large scale to form a militia.

This decree suddenly touched the sensitive nerves of the people. After all, the militia groups in the northern states were very dissatisfied with the London government.

However, relying on a group of militiamen alone cannot cause much trouble, but it cannot be prevented by some of them.

Out of nowhere, large-scale conflicts broke out in the north between local militias and recruiting officials.

At this time, the state governments of the northern states simply took advantage of the public opinion to expel the British officials directly, and those governors and generals suddenly became national independence fighters just like our Sauron family.

Without the suppression of the British army, the people above and below united as one, and the five northern continents gained independence without even a decent battle.

Subsequently, the five northern colonial states concluded a military alliance at the fastest speed, established an independent committee, and issued a declaration of the establishment of the United States of America.

It won't be long before word reaches South Carolina and Georgia. "

“In other words, there are now more than [-] British troops in North Carolina, and the northern states have already sought independence?

So why didn't the United States of America go to war with the British? "

"This... we don't know much about it, but the British troops in North Carolina are already panicked. Most of the local regular troops disbanded on their own and were attracted by the United States of America. This is why we did not encounter any resistance in the border area.

The more than 2 British troops had to retreat to the city of Wilmington, and the rest of North Carolina was almost in a semi-independent state.

They neither fought hard for the British Army, nor openly declared their membership in the United States of America. "

"Uh, what about our Commonwealth of America?"

"General, do you want to hear the truth?"

"nonsense!"

"Oh, the general wants to hear nonsense?"

Yuri: "..."

"Honestly, what's going on?"

"The general is brilliant and powerful, and his achievements are unrivaled, but it's a pity that those American pariahs don't appreciate it at all.

Although our Sauron family opened up the situation, the people in North Carolina couldn't see it at all, and instead called us butchers and executioners..."

"Oh, I get it."

Yuri knew that the Battle of Charleston completely wiped out the Sauron family and his own reputation, and his persecution of Jackson was probably regarded as a scourge by the powerful in North Carolina.

As long as they don't want to be annexed, it is impossible for them to join the American Federation politically.

Now that they have the banner of the United States of America, they naturally don't have to make a difficult choice.

"It seems that there is still fighting to be done."

"General, I also asked about the situation of the British troops stationed in Wilmington. Their morale is very low, because now not only the people in North Carolina do not welcome them, but the five major colonial states in the north have become independent enemies. heading in their direction.

Therefore, these British troops intend to escape by boat!

If we don't hurry, it won't be long before Wilmington joins the United States of America.

Without the British troops at Wilmington, North Carolina was no longer an obstacle to political independence. "
