Chapter 655 (2/2)
But as soon as the wing came out, both Fogg and Jackson immediately realized that they were wrong. They really have the ability to carry out military exercises, and they really have the ability to blockade Chesapeake Bay directly!
For nothing else, the naval battle just ended last year is enough to prove the strength of the Cherokees.
However, what is the reason why this powerful and frightening tribe suddenly does this?
Fogg and Jackson are not worried about the attack of the Cherokees. As far as the Cherokees' strength is concerned, if they want to fight, all the port fortresses in Chesapeake Bay can be defeated if they want to, which is not ambiguous.
Since they have been neighbors for so many years, it is obvious that people have no interest in these port fortresses.
And with this powerful neighbor guarding the Chesapeake Bay, Fogg and Jackson feel more at ease.
But the river suddenly sent out such a message, which made Fogg and Jackson a little confused.
But anyway, they both thought it was extremely abnormal, and it was not up to them to decide. So they immediately sent their capable men to ride northward to Philadelphia, 500 kilometers away.
Henry collinton was stunned by information from Fogg and Jackson's men.
Compared with those middle-level officers, Henry Clinton, commander-in-chief of the British army in North America, had a deep enough understanding of the powerful aboriginal tribe. He also met the leader of the powerful tribe in person at that time, and they had a good talk. He had witnessed the strength of the bear army with his own eyes.
Therefore, it is extremely important to maintain a good enough relationship with that powerful tribe in Clinton's plan.
After all, that powerful tribe has helped the British a lot over the years. The British army has got a lot of ammunition and supplies from that powerful tribe. Now the French navy has begun to encircle British merchant ships in the Atlantic Ocean, and the safety of the sea supply line has been greatly reduced. If that powerful tribe attacks Britain again at this time, Britain will surely lose the war.
But the problem was that Clinton couldn't figure out why that powerful tribe did it!
After all, last year they just wiped out eight French main ships, which is clearly on the British side. And the British have not offended that tribe over the years. Why do they do that?
Although Clinton was decisive in the independent war, he was more careful about how to deal with the Yanhuang tribe. After all, he was an adjutant to King Charles III of England, and he knew how popular the good things from that tribe were in Europe and England.
So, no matter what, you can't tear your face with that powerful tribe.
Under such circumstances, Collington had to let the messenger rush to Detroit fortress quickly. This time, he had to let Colonel Osten ask what was going on.
The stone bear doesn't care how the British fly, and the river doesn't care.
On May 1, just as the sun rose, a small sampan with ropes was pulled up at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay.
These small sampans are pitifully small. They are hundreds of meters apart from each other. If they are not connected by thick ropes, a random wave may overturn them.
But it was these fragile and vulnerable sampans that blocked the Chesapeake Bay with a width of 19 kilometers
