Chapter 479: , Siege (five)


General Arthur Wellesley began withdrawing troops from New York. Withdrawal is always the most complicated thing, especially when there is an army with the intention of pursuing it in front of you, it is even more troublesome. General Andrew Jackson, who took over as the New York Defense Commander, is not as capable as the more experienced General Arthur Wellesley, but he is not a guy who can deal with casually. This guy is identifying the British. After the withdrawal, they continued to harass the British army, slowing down their retreat.
The Americans did this for a purpose. Although the Americans are not very good at playing intrigues on the battlefield. But playing these outside the battlefield, their level is not bad. So General Arthur Wellesley retreated at first. The Americans immediately understood his intentions and what he was worried about. So while the Yankees held him as far as possible, they began to spread rumors that the French in Quebec were in contact with the Americans, preparing to attack back and forth, and wipe out the British army General Arthur Wellesley in one fell swoop.
Because the organization and mobilization of Quebec’s National Guard requires more time, the US military must hold General Arthur Wellesley to buy time for its allies.
The way this rumor was released is also very interesting, that is, it was promoted directly when General Andrew Jackson addressed the soldiers.
When General Andrew Jackson addressed the soldiers to boost their morale, he told them: "We must keep attacking, holding them, biting them, just like a bad dog, biting them, never letting go. Open. Because as long as we bite the British, they are dead. Behind them, our allies are preparing. They are using their cleaning rods to compact their gunpowder and reload them-it will take time. The British wild boar in front of us is planning to use this time to escape back into the woods. Now, what we have to do is to bite it back and prevent it from running away, and wait for our companion to load the bullets. With a bang, we have meat to eat..."
The soldiers listened, naturally morale boosted, and then they caught up, and then there was a battle with the British army, and then, an inevitable thing happened-a soldier was captured by the British in the battle Up.
Although American soldiers are generally more patriotic, they generally have not received any counter-interrogation training, so under cross-examination by the British, they quickly revealed the big secret that General Andrew Jackson told them.
General Arthur Wellesley naturally knew that this was all an Yankee conspiracy. But the problem is that those "French-speaking British" in Quebec really seem to be a little different now.
To be honest, out of fear of "revolution", at the beginning, those "French-speaking British" in Quebec were actually a little bit afraid of France. So at that time, they didn't want to be French again. But as France became stronger and more stable, becoming French again became attractive to those "French-speaking British" in Quebec. Especially when they learned about the various tax policies of Louisiana and the state of economic development, France after the revolution became more and more lovely.
And in the past few years, relying on the advantage of speaking French, some businessmen in Quebec have also made a lot of money in business with Louisiana. (Although they will jealously laugh at Louis Anna’s "French overseas citizens" as "German-speaking French", and those guys do often use German in their lives or use French sandwiched between German and French is German, but there is only one language in Louisiana and the media-French, so "French people who speak German" may eventually come up with a French language in Louisiana.) None of them The young people were infiltrated by the "Ministry of Truth" and became the spokesperson of France in Quebec.
After the outbreak of the American-British War, the "French-speaking British" in Quebec were very active. They actively organized the Self-Defense Army and took the initiative to participate in the war. Religious reasons do take the lead here, but they used this opportunity to strengthen themselves for the future. Preparing for changes is also an important consideration.
Because the French used the cruiser as a temporary intermediary to connect the radio link between the Atlantic Ocean and the European continent, those in Quebec who were already serving the "Ministry of Truth" even knew before the Canadian Governor that France declared war on Britain, and In the North Atlantic naval battle, the British fleet was wiped out.
After receiving this news, those in Quebec who wanted to change themselves from "French-speaking British" to "French-speaking French" immediately took action. In the name of supporting the war, they trained more troops. At the same time, they also built a lot of construction in Quebec and built a lot of fortifications-of course, this thing is used to deal with those who speak English... well, English-speaking American.
Now that the friendly forces are retreating, the "French-speaking British" in Quebec has directly entered the fortifications and set up a defensive posture.
Naturally, this posture can be interpreted as either preparing to defend against a possible American offense, or as preparing to defend against a purebred English-speaking British attack under General Arthur Wellesley~EbookFREE.me ~ It can even be understood that they are preparing to pinch the English-speaking British with English-speaking Americans.
Upon seeing the actions of the "French-speaking British" behind, the authentic British immediately became nervous. General Arthur Wellesley immediately dispatched a cavalry to the "Quebec Volunteers" and asked them what they planned to do.
The Quebec Volunteer Army, regardless of the three-seven-one, fired at the British cavalry. The cannons and rifles crackled for a while, killing half of the cavalry, and the rest naturally hurried back on four legs. Will come back and immediately report that Quebec has rebelled.
But shortly afterwards, several British cavalry who had been captured by the Quebecers returned. There was also a member of the "Quebec Volunteers" who came with them. He told General Arthur Wellesley: "This is a complete misunderstanding. Our people thought they were Americans. You know, they all speak English. ! And the tone is not quite right! You know, Americans often wear our clothes to attack us. So we get nervous..."
