Chapter 1747: Dilemma

At this time, America.

British Colonial District.

In Kelindun's office, he received a piece of news today: the British Expeditionary Force, recruited and formed, encountered an ambush by French troops after entering the jungle, and now the entire unit has been wiped out!

"That was a force of ten thousand men!"

"Just like that, they're gone?"

"Military Department, did your intelligence agencies not detect even a shred of information?"

"Do you know what those people outside are calling us? They call our British Soldiers 'deaf-blind soldiers'."

"Deaf and blind, completely unable to see the enemy's movements clearly!"

Facing Kelindun's rage, the expressions of those present were extremely unsightly.

Before this, Gelin had won a surprise war, which was widely promoted, and taking this opportunity, Kelindun raised the banner of the British expedition to recruit troops.

Having finally managed to recruit a ten-thousand-man force, they were urgently deployed to the battlefield after only brief training.

And the general serving as the commander of this force was a second-generation heir who only knew how to indulge in pleasure.

Kelindun's son.

For Kelindun, as long as this Expeditionary Force could reach the battlefield, it was winning merit for his own son.

Regarding everything that had happened, these people in the Military Department were furious.

Generally speaking, a unit deployed to the battlefield should undergo at least three months of military training, and even then, the unit might not necessarily possess qualified combat effectiveness.

But for the sake of his own selfish desires, Kelindun ignored their suggestions and let the situation develop into what it is today.

Now, to make matters worse, the unit is completely wiped out, and he turns around to blame them.

The people from the Military Department suppressed their anger and said: "Our intelligence system has no problems; there are many uncertainties on the battlefield. It is normal for the French troops to have anticipated our unit's route of march."

"After all, a ten-thousand-man Expeditionary Force setting out so grandiosely is very difficult not to be discovered; I believe the responsibility for this matter does not lie with us."

"Commander, we are also grieving the total annihilation of the Expeditionary Force, but please restrain your sorrow."

"The most important thing now is to seal the news. The news of Gelin's recent victory has just spread; if the news of the Expeditionary Force's crushing defeat emerges now, it will put us in a very passive position."

"We ask that you must seal the news tightly and not let it leak out."

"Alright, we have more pressing matters to handle and cannot stay long."

After saying this, the Military Department Minister led his subordinates to stand up and leave, not giving Kelindun even half a shred of face.

Seeing this scene, Kelindun violently flung his beloved teacup.

The sound of the cup shattering did not make the Military Department personnel stop their departure; they ignored this scene and left Kelindun's office.

Most of the people in the Military Department were those who had completely immigrated to the British Colonial District.

Kelindun, however, was the commander sent directly from Britain to America.

Once his term expired, he would still have to return.

Now, Kelindun's refusal to approve any military funding had already caused their dissatisfaction.

Especially since this guy was actually using the banner of an expedition to gild his own son.

As a result, after the Expeditionary Force failed, he blamed everything on them; this was something they absolutely could not tolerate!

Kelindun was pushing these Military Department officers toward the opposite side of him.

Seeing these Military Department people leave, Kelindun was filled with a burst of rage.

At this time, his Chief of Staff walked over and said: "Commander, calm your anger. We still need these people to stabilize the situation; they are still of use."

"We cannot push them to the opposite side of us right now."

Kelindun snorted coldly: "So according to your meaning, I need to be servile and let them continue to manipulate me?"

The Chief of Staff smiled and shook his head, saying: "In my opinion, there is absolutely no need for that."

"The way they are acting now is nothing more than wanting to get more money."

"In my opinion, Commander, you should give them those military salaries first, and then appoint one of our own people to be interspersed among them."

"For one, this can stabilize the morale of the army."

"For another, the General will also have people to use in the Military Department."

Kelindun frowned and sighed: "It is not that I am unwilling to give them military salaries, but that we do not have much extra money in America right now."

"In these past few years, we have imported a large amount of goods from Longyan, but because of the war, these goods are stockpiled in the port warehouses and cannot be sold."

"Moreover, we have been fighting every day during this period, and we have already imported too many weapons from Longyan, so we are very short on money."

Hearing this, the Chief of Staff also frowned.

He knew these things; now it was all war, and those high-priced, in-demand goods bought from Longyan back then could not be sold at all now.

Because of the war, these things had even depreciated in value.

For them, this was a major problem.

The Chief of Staff thought for a moment and said again: "Commander, although we don't have money on hand now, we have mines in America. As long as we mortgage these mines to Longyan City, we can get a large sum of money."

"With this money, the current crisis can be resolved."

Kelindun frowned and asked uncertainly: "How feasible is this method?"

The Chief of Staff thought for a moment: "I will go negotiate this matter, and I guarantee it will work."

"However, Commander, I have one condition: after the matter is accomplished, you must promote me in the Military Department so that I can help the Commander control the troops."

Kelindun walked while thinking, murmuring to himself: "There is no other way now; let's do it this way."

"Fine, just as you said. You go to Longyan City now to talk to Qingyang, and I can approve you to mortgage three Iron Mines."

"Understood!"

……

At this time, at the other end of America.

The Colonial Area of France.

In the Ohio River Basin, the French troops were beating the British troops into a steady retreat, which made Richard overjoyed.

Afterwards, he received news that the British had raided their position.

Their position had been breached.

"It's this Gelin again; last time he also breached the position at the gold mine, how—it's him again!"

Standing beside Richard was his son, Ausilige.

Ausilige's heart skipped a beat when he heard this name.

Why did this name sound so familiar? It seemed he had heard of Gelin somewhere before.

Ausilige suddenly remembered, wasn't this the guy he helped enter the prison to see Qiaozhi?

This guy was actually an officer in the British troops?

Ausilige's mind went blank; if this was the case, then what roles did Wan Shang and Fang Dalong, whom he had introduced to him at the time, play in this?

Ausilige did not dare to continue thinking.

If Richard found out about this, his two-hundred-plus pounds of flesh would likely swell up a size.

Seeing his son distracted, Richard scolded, "Ausilige, what are you thinking about?"

After an endless coma, Shi Yu sat up abruptly from the bed. Please,

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion, bewilderment, all sorts of emotions surged into his heart.

Where is this?

Subsequently, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more bewildered.

A single dormitory room?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital ward right now.

And his own body... how could there not be a single injury?

Filled with doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally resting on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, very handsome.

But the problem is, this is not him!, read the latest chapter content ad-free for free.

The previous him was a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary bearing, who had been working for some time.

But now, this appearance looks like a high school student no matter how you look at it...

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him the surgery was a success...

His body and face have both changed; this is no longer a question of surgery or not, but sorcery.

He had actually completely turned into another person!

Could it be... that he has transmigrated?

Besides the mirror placed in a clearly bad feng shui spot at the head of the bed, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked them up to look, and the book titles made him fall silent instantly.

"Essential Handbook for Novice Beast Tamers"

"Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts"

"Appraisal Guide for Beast-Eared Girls of Different Races"

Shi Yu:???

The titles of the first two books are still normal, but what is going on with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's gaze turned solemn, and he reached out his hand, but his arm stiffened quickly.

Just as he wanted to open the third book to see what on earth this thing was, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a massive amount of memories surged forth like a tide.
