After the staff officer left, Pan Mengyuan had no intention of looking at the map again. He threw the pen in his hand to the side, sat in a chair and rubbed his face with both hands until the skin on his face turned red and hot, and then he felt much better.

"I don't know when the local area will send reinforcements..." Pan Mengyuan couldn't help but hope that the local area could send reinforcements to him as soon as possible, but as a navy general, he knew very well that it would take three months to send troops from the local area to Xinming.

Moreover, due to the restrictions on oceans and transportation, it is not so easy to send troops from the local area. I am afraid that the number of reinforcements to arrive is only a few thousand.

But this is already a life-saving force for Pan Mengyuan. Even if three or four thousand people can come, it is good, and at least it can alleviate the difficulties he is currently facing.

Pan Mengyuan now knows very well that he must withstand the attacks of the French and Spanish, and only in this way can he keep the rule of the Ming Dynasty in Xinming. Once this battle is defeated, the result will be the collapse of the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and all the efforts and efforts made by the Ming Dynasty over the years will be shattered.

As for him, the governor, what would happen? Thinking of this, Pan Mengyuan felt bitter in his heart. Perhaps by then he would have to commit suicide to apologize.

"The Frenchman who killed thousands of swords and the damn Spanish, by the way! Those British men are not good things, how could they have become like this if they weren't?"

When Pan Mengyuan thought that the situation would suddenly deteriorate like this, he couldn't help but feel angry. The French were fine. In the Xinming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and France had no basis for cooperation, because they had different positions. In addition, the French have always dominated Europe and their combat power was extremely fierce. In their eyes, they can be said to be the best in the world, and even the Ming Dynasty did not take it seriously at all.

Before, Pan Mengyuan had disagreed. In his opinion, the Ming army, which swept across the Central Plains and fought against the Qing Dynasty and all forces, was an unquestionable strong army in the world. What's more, the Ming army used firearms on a large scale in recent years, and its combat effectiveness continued to increase. No matter how powerful the French were, they might not be the opponent of the Ming army.

But it was not until after fighting with the French that Pan Mengyuan realized that he had a glimpse of the heroes of the world. The French army was indeed in power in Europe. Not to mention anything else, the use of firearms and military formations surprised the Ming army. In addition, the elite of the French soldiers and the momentum on the battlefield were probably even less powerful than the new army, the Ming army.

As for the Spanish, although they are not as fierce as the French, Spain can dominate a small European country back then, but it is not a vegetarian. Moreover, the Spanish were also the first inventor of the Spanish great formation. They swept the world with this move. Although they are now in decline, they can still be regarded as a strong army.

Now, the coalition forces of the two countries have suppressed the Ming army from the land, and thanks to the other's navy's failure to attack their rear for a while, Pan Mengyuan has the ability to mobilize troops to reinforce the front line.

Speaking of navy, this is caused by the unique terrain of America. In America, although the place where it passes below the South China Sea is the junction of North America and South America, and it is also the location of China and the United States in later generations. The Pacific Ocean to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The two oceans are not far apart, but the key is that they are close but cannot be connected.

The Panama Canal does not exist yet. Due to this, the Spanish fleet on the other side of France and the other side of the ocean cannot cross the sea to the Pacific Ocean. If they want to use their fleet to attack across the ocean, there is only one way, that is, to pass south through South America, then go from the south to the ice and snowy Antarctic zone, and then enter the Pacific Ocean area from there.

In doing so, it not only requires a long route, but more importantly, the danger of this channel is extremely high. Therefore, although the French and Spain mobilized their naval power, they actually used only the Spanish naval part, because the Spanish occupied a large area of ​​Mexico and had the estuaries of two oceans at the same time. However, compared with the Atlantic Ocean, the navy here is not strong.

It is precisely because of this that Xinming does not have to consider facing attacks at sea for the time being. The Spanish are not fools. They know that the Ming Dynasty has a fleet with great combat effectiveness on the west coast. Although the Spanish Pacific Fleet is called a fleet, there are actually not many real warships, and many of them are warships modified by armed merchant ships.

For the Ming Dynasty's navy, Spain only maintained harassment and defensive operations, which also gave Pan Mengyuan the convenience of diversion of military strength. But who can guarantee that this situation will continue? Pan Mengyuan was worried about this.

As for the British, compared to the French and Spanish, Pan Mengyuan is the most angry now.

Originally, the war was fought between the French and the British, but his side was just a third party. Who would have thought that the sudden war in Ming Dynasty would become the protagonist, but the British who fought to death with the French at the time were now out of the way and became bystanders.

Regarding this situation, Pan Mengyuan complained to the British in his request for help from the local area. At the same time, he has been sending people to contact the British, intending to let the British participate in the war as soon as possible and form a coalition with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the aggressive French and Spanish coalition forces.

If the British did this, the French would not be able to attack the Ming army unscrupulously. In order to ensure the security of New France, the possibility of the French army retreating voluntarily was extremely high. As long as the French army retreated, the Spanish army, as their younger brother, would naturally evacuate together, so that all crises would be fleeting.

But what made Pan Mengyuan angry was that the people he sent failed to get the official reply from the British. The British only told Pan Mengyuan that because the British army suffered huge losses in the previous battles, they needed a period of rest. As an ally of cooperation, the British hoped that the Ming Dynasty could play the role of allies and help them block the French attack first. When the British side finished resting, they would send troops immediately.

These words were completely a lie to not make drafts. Pan Mengyuan was so angry that he was furious. At this time, he had already confirmed that the British were absolutely unreliable. Maybe they were waiting patiently for the defeat between the Ming Dynasty and the French army to get both sides injured, and then they came out to clean up the mess.

The British man's reply completely dispelled Pan Mengyuan's idea of ​​continuing to ask for help from Britain, so there was only one way before him, that is, to stabilize the battle situation with his own strength until the end.
