Fox of France

General Arthur Wellesley begins the withdrawal of troops from New York. Withdrawal of troops has always been the most complicated thing, especially when there is an army in front of you with the intention of pursuing it, it is even more troublesome. General Andrew Jackson, who took over as the New York Defense Commander, was not as capable as the more experienced General Arthur Wellesley in terms of military capabilities, but he was not a guy who could be dealt with casually. After withdrawing the troops, they began to follow behind and harass the British troops continuously, slowing down their retreat.

Americans do this, of course, with a purpose. Although the Americans are not very good at playing tricks on the battlefield. But playing these outside of 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 back as much as possible, they began to spread rumors that the French in Quebec were in contact with the Americans, preparing to flank and wipe out General Arthur Wellesley's British army in one fell swoop.

Because the organization and mobilization of the National Guard in Quebec required more time, the American army had to hold off General Arthur Wellesley to buy time for its allies.

The way this rumor was released is also very interesting, that is, it was propagated directly through General Andrew Jackson when he addressed the soldiers.

When General Andrew Jackson gave a speech to the soldiers to boost their morale, he told them: "We must continue to attack, hold them, and bite them, just like a vicious dog that bites and never lets go." Open. For as long as we have the British in their hands, they are dead. Behind them, our allies are preparing, and they are compacting their own powder with their cleaning rods, and loading the bullets - it will take time. The English 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 its back tightly to prevent it from running away. When our companion has loaded the bullet, 'Bang' and we have meat to eat..."

When the soldiers heard this, their morale was naturally boosted, and then they caught up, and then fought with the British army, and then, an inevitable thing happened-some soldiers were captured by the British during the battle up.

Although American soldiers are generally more patriotic, they generally have not received any anti-interrogation training, so under the cross-examination of the British, they quickly revealed the big secret that General Andrew Jackson told them.

General Arthur Wellesley knew, of course, that it was all a Yankee conspiracy. But the problem is that those "French-speaking Brits" in Quebec really seem to be a little bit different now.

To be honest, out of fear of "revolution", those "French-speaking Britons" in Quebec were actually a little afraid of France at the beginning. So at that time, they didn't really want to become French again. But as France grew stronger and more stable, being French again became attractive to the "French-speaking Brits" in Quebec. Especially when they learned about Louisiana's various tax policies and 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 mock those "French citizens abroad" in Louisiana as "German-speaking French", and those guys do often use German or use French with German and French with German in their lives. German in French, but there is only one language in Louisiana, official and in the media—French, so "German-speaking French" may finally come up with a Louisiana French.) Some of them A few people were infiltrated by the "Ministry of Truth" and became the spokespersons of France in Quebec.

After the outbreak of the US-British War, the "French-speaking Britons" in Quebec were very active. They actively organized the Self-Defense Force and took the initiative to participate in the war. Religious reasons did play a major role here, but they took this opportunity to strengthen themselves and prepare for the future. Preparing for unexpected events is also an important consideration.

Because the French connected the radio link between the Atlantic Ocean and the European continent through the cruiser as a temporary intermediary, those in Quebec who were already serving the "Ministry of Truth" knew about France's declaration of war on Britain before the Governor of Canada, and In the North Atlantic naval battle, the entire British fleet was wiped out.

After getting this news, those in Quebec who wanted to change themselves from "French-speaking Britons" to "French-speaking Frenchmen" immediately took action. In the name of supporting the war, they trained more troops, and at the same time built a lot of fortifications in Quebec-of course, in name, this thing is used to deal with those English-speaking... well, English-speaking American.

Now that the friendly forces were retreating, the "French-speaking Englishmen" of Quebec entered directly into the fortifications and took up defensive positions.

This posture can naturally be interpreted as preparing for a possible attack by the Americans, or as preparing for an attack by the pure-bred English-speaking British under General Arthur Wellesley, or even as a defense against a possible attack by the Americans. They were preparing to flank the English-speaking Brits with the English-speaking Americans.

Seeing the actions of the "French-speaking Brits" behind them, the authentic Brits immediately became nervous. General Arthur Wellesley immediately sent a troop of cavalry to ask the "Quebec Zouaves" what they were going to do.

On the other hand, the Quebec Volunteer Army opened fire on the British cavalry regardless of the situation. The cannons and rifles crackled for a while, killing half of the cavalry, and the rest naturally ran back on all fours. Will come back and immediately report that the Quebecers have rebelled.

But not long after, several British cavalry who had been captured by the "Quebecers" returned. They were accompanied by a man from the "Quebec Volunteers" who told General Arthur Wellesley: "It was a complete misunderstanding. Our people thought they were Americans, you know, and they all spoke English And the tone of voice is not quite right! You know, the Americans often wear our clothes and attack us. So when we get nervous..."
