Good morning and welcome back to our breaking news program where we bring stories about the American War of Independence. 00:00:00

Today we have a really special show because we are going to talk with Bernardo de Galvez, leader of the Spanish forces fighting for the American Revolution. 00:00:10

His forces are in pursuit of liberation of the colonies from the British and the formation of a new nation founded on fundamental freedoms. 00:00:17

Over to you, Hugo, in the field. 00:00:24

Thank you. Yes, we are right now in the Battle of Pensacola, where Bernardo de Galvez is going to talk about the advances in combat. 00:00:26

Bernardo, what is the situation right now? 00:00:34

Well, our principal mission is to take control of the west part of Florida. 00:00:37

Our troops are advancing towards the front of the battle, while we are taking control of the British territory also from the sea. 00:00:42

And what is your strategy for doing that? 00:00:51

Our strategy is that our best Spanish soldiers will fight with the warriors of the Kaskaskian native tribe and men from the Black Militia. 00:00:54

With this collaboration, our troops will gain knowledge of the terrain, strategic support and work together to achieve a new nation. 00:01:04

We wish you good luck and success on your mission. 00:01:13

Thank you. 00:01:16

Well, we have already heard Bernardo de Galvez's words and it seems they have the situation under control. 00:01:18

So now we'll go to the other side of this battle, to the English general George Campbell, to get his perspective on this battle. Over to you, Adrián. 00:01:23

Exactly, Dario. We are right now with the English general John Campbell. Let's see what he can tell us about this battle. 00:01:32

Good morning, General. 00:01:41

Good morning. 00:01:42

How is this battle of Pensacola going? 00:01:43

The situation is very difficult. Galvez's numerical superiority and the Spanish bravery have shattered our defences. 00:01:46

My men are fighting the best they can, but the position is untenable. 00:01:54

And do you have any strategy for overcoming this situation? 00:01:58

As our position is hopeless, we are forced to resist as best we can. 00:02:02

But those crazy soldiers of Spain don't know what to expect from them. 00:02:07

The military strategies are as diverse as themselves, especially with the combination of the native, black militia and hispanic soldiers. 00:02:11

Plus all the supplies that are constantly received from Diego de Gardoqui. 00:02:21

We will strengthen our defenses for resisting as much as we can. 00:02:26

Have you considered giving up? 00:02:31

Not for now. 00:02:33

Alright, thank you for your time, General. 00:02:34

No problem. 00:02:36

Thank you all for tuning in. However, this battle end will 00:02:37

centrally have world-wide ramification as Bernardo de 00:02:41

Galvez support could just be the thing that pushes these 00:02:44

colonies to the victory against the British. That would be a 00:02:47

monumental win and the signal of a new era in the Americas. 00:02:50

Thanks to our listeners and we will continue to keep you all 00:02:53

informed. We hope you like it and we will wait you in the 00:02:56

next program. 00:02:59
