"….Dear Sir Andros, no one is perfect. I deeply believe that King James has known his faults and has not made the right choice for your loyalty and courage. Even if you are disappointed and temporarily rebelled, you still do not change my respect for the Lord. Anyone has the right to protect his struggle for it and a cause that flows blood and sweat. This is the power granted by the gods and the foundation of man.

Chinese philosophers say that if you have the power, you will have many helpers, but if you lose the power, you will have few helpers. We look forward to reaching a reconciliation with you and paying our highest respect to you at the end.

Salute to Sir Andros, who had been thousands of miles away, who remained loyal!"

In the town hall in Boston, Sir Philip read the letter to Andros in front of all the representatives, in front of all the representatives. After reading it, all the representatives discussed it. Sir Philip asked directly: "Governor, do you have a deep friendship with that Chinese prince?"

"No, no." Andros gave a very affirmative answer, but this answer made the delegates feel disappointed. He explained: "After leaving New England, I went to France, but was sent by the king to the Cape Verde Islands, where the Chinese attacked us outpost, where the supreme commander of the Expeditionary Force Li Su, said to be the son of another Chinese prince, the son of the inheritance. I have never seen that Chinese prince......"

"Then this is disagreement." Philip said.

But the delegates were obviously disappointed. They hoped that this was true, because in this way, they could use Andros' relations to end the war and get a good treatment from the Prince of China. If China could give everyone autonomy in the era of Charles II, then it would seem that there would be no problem to be a Chinese colony. At least, they would be vain and wait until one day the British land ended the war, intervened in North America, and the colonies returned to Britain. This would avoid a war and no one would lose.

Andros and Philip also knew everyone's thoughts. Andros stood on the podium and said, "Dear gentlemen, now is not the time to surrender. The enemy has just won and we surrender immediately. Then we will gain nothing, and we will become slaves, lose property, and our freedom of faith will also be lost. The Chinese are pagans who do not believe in God. We must continue to resist until the enemy realizes that there will be an unbearable price to destroy us, and then we can negotiate. And this is also Sir Philip's belief. Is it right, Sir."

Faced with Andros's eyes asking for help, Philip said: "Yes, I think so too."

"But how do we beat our opponents, or at least stay unbeaten? They easily conquered Portland, and it seems that nothing you have on the beach is effective." Some lawmakers objected, because everyone knows that beach fortifications are also available in Portland.

Philip said: "Because the enemy is very powerful, we must make more preparations. The fortifications in Lighthouse Mountain must continue to be strengthened, and that is our last position. If we cannot defeat our opponents with fortifications, then there is only...."

With a squeak, a large mass of steam spewed out from the deflation valve on the motorcycle, covering three people. The most unlucky one was Richard Cromwell, whose golden hair was sprayed and his face was covered with water vapor.

This steam motorcycle is a New Year gift from the Empire Emperor Li Junhua. It is quite cool to ride on this ignorant and backward land in North America, and Li Junwei naturally has to be even cooler, so he found novel things such as windbreakers, sunglasses, and revolvers. Unfortunately, the steam motorcycle is based on novelty. The speed of this car could reach 30 kilometers per hour, but with a sideboard, he ran on the dirt road at a speed of less than ten kilometers per hour.

After the stand-alone stopped, Li Junwei and the other two got out of the car and headed straight for the tent where the commanders were waiting. Li Su originally brought people to meet him, but suddenly ran away. He went to the side of the motorcycle and pulled a wrench, but he couldn't pull it. Li Su immediately went to call Pan Mingqi and cursed and asked him what he had made for the motorcycle again that he didn't know, and then pulled Li Junwei away a little.

Li Junwei laughed when he saw his reaction. He knew that Li Su was actually going to turn off the boiler. Once the wrench was pulled, the fuel in the furnace would fall off and the steam engine could be turned off. There was a reason why Li Su's reaction was so exaggerated. Dan Tai Yunfeng's diplomatic alliance in Paris, France was not going well, and it was related to an episode.

The Empire once gave King Louis XIV a steam car as a state gift. It was a car designed by Emperor Lee Myung-hoon, and it was decorated very luxuriously. The novel steam power and luxurious decoration made Louis XIV love it, but the arrogant guy thought he learned to drive quickly, so he abandoned the specially trained driver and drove alone in the Palace of Versailles, accepting the cheers of the nobles. Until he met a certain lady he liked, the two went to drink coffee. However, Louis XIV only learned to drive, but did not understand the steam engine. After getting off the car, the boiler did not shut down, which triggered the boiler explosion.

This made Louis XIV think that the empire was going to assassinate him. Although it was explained clearly later, it affected the relationship between the two countries to a certain extent. What Li Junwei disliked the most was this design. In his opinion, if he stopped the car and had to pour out cinders, it would seriously damage his image.

"Prince, I slightly changed the steamer, canceled the coal box, installed a sideboard, and installed an oil can inject oil. It is no longer a coal-fired car, but an oil-fired steamer. As long as the oil can is turned off, there will be no safety problems." Pan Mingqi explained with a smile.

This is actually Pan Mingqi's consistent proposition. He once suggested to the Imperial Navy that naval warships should not only burn coal, but should be mixed with coal and oil to improve efficiency, but this suggestion was eventually rejected. Pan Mingqi's modification of this steam motorcycle obviously had other attempts.

"Nothing! There is a lot of coal on the warship, and at most it is burning firewood, but the lubricating oil is limited." Li Su responded unhappily.

Pan Mingqi shrugged, he didn't care about that. And Fitz James said: "The lubricant is not enough, you can use sesame oil instead, or soy sauce can do it, at least it will taste better."

Several people looked at Fitz James like a fool, ignoring his nonsense.

Li Junwei didn't care about these things. In his opinion, I am the best commander without blind command, deducting military pay, and abuse of soldiers. What's wrong with having some fun?

"How is the war going on? I won't stay in a tent tonight, right?" Li Junwei asked.

Li Su pointed to the opposite side and said, "No, but now Belinsky's Cossack cavalry has not reached its position yet. So there is no attack for the time being, but it seems that they don't want to take the initiative to die."

Belinsky's Cossack regiment traveled thousands of miles, and the biggest gain was to collect the British horses along the way, and the war horses purchased from Lisbon, forming a cavalry regiment of more than 800 cavalry. Although the war horses used in this cavalry regiment are of different quality and some are simply slow horses, they are always much faster than humans.

Li Junwei looked at the map on the ammunition box and understood Li Su's arrangement. At present, the army is attracting the main force of the enemy on the front, and more than 1,000 people from the Cossack regiment have circled around the woods and raided the side. The Expeditionary Force has obtained news through the traitor that the enemy has built fortifications in Lighthouse Mountain near Boston City. If they are asked to escape back, it will cause great trouble. After all, the battlefield is only three or four kilometers away from Lighthouse Mountain.

The Cossacks' mission is to capture Lighthouse Mountain and attack the enemy from the side and back. If the capture fails, let go of Lighthouse Mountain and prevent the enemy from escaping from escaping Lighthouse Mountain.

The debate between the Expeditionary Force is that Li Su and other imperial officers believed that they could take the initiative to attack and destroy the enemy. Zelenko and Fitz James believed that it was best to let the enemy take the initiative to attack, kill the enemy and then counterattack.

Fitz James and Zelenko made a judgment based on the advantages of firearms. Their troops were mainly flintlock rifled rifles, and each regiment was equipped with 150 front-mounted rifles as guns for hunters. The Marine Corps even equipped with rifles. The two believed that with these alone, they could block the enemy at a distance of 250 meters and defeat the opponent. For active attack, they would need their own soldiers to enter the range of the opponent's artillery, and the casualties would be greater.

Li Su and others' judgment was based on the advantages of artillery. The Marine Corps was equipped with an artillery company with six rear-mounted rifled guns. This rifled gun not only can hit the shells four thousand meters away, but also has a considerable accuracy in two thousand meters. It is also equipped with grenades and shrapnel bullets with excellent performance. The cannon alone can break the opposite side, and then the infantry can rush up to chase and kill.

But the problem is that not only are the frogs in the well opposite, but the Allies on their side are also frogs in the well. Zelenko and Fitz James do not believe that artillery can break the opponent.

"No matter what, give it a try." Li Junwei played with his revolver and came to the artillery position with a group of officers.
