Chapter 1709: The Surprise Attack

At this time, the British Colonial District.

Kelinxi's office.

After learning that Qingyang Shuo had rejected his request, Kelinxi frowned deeply.

Without the help of the Longyan City army, the operational plans and methods of other generals were not much different from the previous ones, and they were now in a state of having no generals available.

Moreover, having experienced two major defeats in war, Britain was now in urgent need of a great victory.

They could not afford to experience a third failure in operations.

This would cause the British to have extreme distrust in his administration.

Kelinxi summoned all the officials of the British Military Department to his office.

"We need a victory in battle."

"You people, are you capable of providing a victory in battle?" Kelinxi roared and asked.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and finally, the Military Department Minister spoke up: "Your Excellency Kelinxi, before we have clarified the intentions of the French."

"We have no method to give you any guarantees."

"However, while we cannot count on Longyan City, we are not at the point of having no one available."

Kelinxi raised an eyebrow; he naturally knew who the Military Department Minister was talking about—those two were the two people Kelinxi completely did not want to recall.

The Military Department Minister saw Kelinxi's hesitation and said again: "Respected Your Excellency Kelinxi, if you have a better choice, please just pretend I said nothing."

"Of course, our Army Military Department currently has no better candidates, nor the capability to conquer the French."

Kelinxi took a deep breath, looking at these people in the Military Department who had completely given up.

He had endless anger in his heart, but as the Military Department Minister said, they now lacked the capability to confront the French.

They simply could not think of any response method to the army attack plan newly formulated by the French and the Indians.

Ultimately, Kelinxi chose one from these two ideas.

Kelinxi did not want to see these people, but still said heavily: "If they can bring a victory in battle, let them command the next battle."

At this time, on the other side of America.

Fojilisi.

The second day after Qiaozhi and Sister-in-law Danni returned to Mount Vernon.

Gelin came to visit, but this time Gelin actually did not bring Natasha.

This point made Qiaozhi somewhat surprised.

Ever since Gelin got together with Natasha, Gelin and Natasha had almost become like one person, inseparable every day.

Wherever they went, the two were always together.

But seeing today that Gelin was actually not with Natasha, this made Qiaozhi very surprised.

However, what Gelin said to Qiaozhi next made Qiaozhi even more surprised.

"Qiaozhi, I received an order."

"It is like this, not long ago, I met some people and chatted about some things with them; they asked us two to go command the British troops."

"I think we should go."

"This is our struggle; those French have occupied our territory, and we should go take it back."

Qiaozhi looked at Gelin seriously and said very calmly: "Gelin, I think about returning to the military camp every moment."

Hearing this sentence, Gelin revealed a smile: "I have long known your thoughts; managing a plantation is truly too boring for us."

Immediately after, Qiaozhi said again: "But I cannot forget, when I was a prisoner, where was our British government?"

"I do not want to work for such a government anymore," Qiaozhi said dejectedly.

Gelin instead said: "But this is to protect our rights and interests; this time it is an invitation from the Military Department, not from that bastard Kelinxi."

"For the sake of Britain, we should go."

Qiaozhi glanced at Gelin and asked: "What about Natasha? If you leave, what will Natasha do?"

Gelin looked at Qiaozhi, pondered for a moment, and said: "She will be my most solid backing; I will return."

Qiaozhi looked at Gelin's firm gaze and knew that his mind was made up.

Gelin also persuaded: "Brother, you also know that the conflict between our Britain and France is deepening day by day."

"We have already been defeated twice now; we cannot have a third defeat. You know we need a victory."

"As for Kelinxi, the last incident will absolutely not happen again. This time it is coordinated by the Military Department, and Kelinxi will not be able to stay in Britain for much longer."

Qiaozhi snorted coldly: "The Military Department and Kelinxi are birds of a feather."

Hearing this sentence, Gelin sighed deeply and glanced at Qiaozhi.

"You are not joining the British army?"

"You do not want to return to the army?"

Qiaozhi looked at Gelin and said: "For such an army, I do not want to go back for the time being."

Gelin sighed: "Then I will not force you; after all, you have Masha now."

"I can understand."

After saying this sentence, Gelin turned and left.

Qiaozhi did not try to keep him.

Just as Qiaozhi said, it was not that he did not want to return to the army, but that he could not find a reason to go back now.

Whatever struggle in the Ohio River Basin.

To him, this was nothing more than Kelinxi wanting to fight for interests with the French; he did not care at all about the interests they were fighting over.

These were all false.

It was impossible for Qiaozhi to duel the French for the sake of Kelinxi; this did not align with his interests.

……

And at this moment.

In the Ohio River Basin, the French Army and Indian tribes launched a surprise attack.

Taking advantage of the night, the French troops crossed the pitch-black Ohio River to launch a sudden assault.

The British Soldiers, dressed in red uniforms, fell into an instant panic upon seeing those Indians wearing deep blue uniforms and animal skins with feathered headdresses, having already suffered defeats in two consecutive wars.

However, these British Soldiers did not actively counterattack upon discovering the assault; instead, they fled in all directions.

The British Soldiers originally garrisoned in the Ohio River Basin possessed more troops and better weapons than the French.

Yet at this moment, they forgot how to resist and allowed the French troops to attack at will.

Upon seeing the French troops, these British Soldiers feared them like wolves.

They could no longer muster even the slightest fighting spirit to resist.

Such news was quickly transmitted to the ears of Kelinxi.

Upon learning of this news, Kelinxi was incomparably furious.

He summoned everyone from the Military Department for a meeting overnight.

Right inside the castle of Kelinxi, he was still wearing his nightgown.

Bang!

"This is a supreme humiliation!"

Kelinxi said coldly.

"Seal off this news, and immediately order Gelin and Qiaozhi to reorganize the troops and launch a counterattack at once; I do not wish to hear any more news of British defeat."

The members of the Military Department agreed, though they wore troubled expressions.

The Military Department Minister looked at Kelinxi, who was still in a towering rage, and decided it was better not to tell him about the matter regarding Qiaozhi; he could only say, "I will arrange for troops to provide reinforcements immediately and will absolutely not let the war expand any further."
