Fox of France

Chapter 480, Siege (6)

"What do you mean 'they all speak English'? Can we Brits stop speaking English? What do you mean by 'the tone is not right'? I also think that the guys in Canada and the guys in the south of the United States don't speak English well. Yes!" General Arthur Wellesley would have liked to drag out this real Quebec bastard with his wacky English and shoot him a hundred times a hundred times, but his mind told him that he really Can't do anything about this guy.

The reason is very simple. Now people claim that it was a mistaken attack, and they personally sent someone to explain it. If you do anything to that person, not only the "Quebec Volunteer Army" in front of you will immediately turn against you, but what's more, the Quebec army on other fronts may also have problems.

If these Quebec troops collectively defected, the whole situation would be in trouble immediately. So General Arthur Wellesley suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "I believe this is a misunderstanding. Can we enter Quebec now?"

"Your Excellency General," said the Quebec man, "in theory, of course it is possible, but considering that your regiment has always had bad habits. When you passed through Quebec last time, many of your actions have already made the people of Quebec Very dissatisfied. So, before the Quebec Parliament gives permission, we cannot allow your corps to enter any city in Quebec."

General Arthur Wellesley's army got it from the South of the United States by looting, setting fire and killing people all the way, and it is true that they are not particularly used to it. Moreover, his soldiers are all from the mainland of England, and they have no property here, no social connections, and even the military salary is not particularly sufficient (after all, they have been fighting here for so long, and the Governor of Canada has no money for a long time, and It is impossible for London to send money here now), and as a result, they can only rely on robbery to boost morale. Robbery has a lot of inertia, and it is not possible to stop the car all at once, and General Arthur Wellesley did not brake too seriously, because doing so would damage morale to a certain extent. He felt that in the war, it was not yet time to pursue this issue.

As a result, General Arthur Wellesley's corps did not perform very well during the period when it was repaired in Quebec and then went south. Although it did not dare to play "three lights" like it did in the southern United States, it was sneaky, that thing There are indeed some people who don’t give money or anything. It even caused a confrontation between the Quebec Volunteers and them at one time, and some British troops were shot black.

General Arthur Wellesley certainly knew that his army had a bad reputation. It would be strange if the Quebecers allowed their army to enter the city now.

"Our troops don't need to enter the city, but you have to give way." General Arthur Wellesley knew that the situation was unfavorable at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it, otherwise, these Quebecers People really dare to rebel. Generally speaking, North America is not a good place by nature. The biggest feature of this place is that there are troublemakers everywhere.

"This requires you to apply to the Quebec Parliament and make a guarantee that you will not stay in Quebec for a long time and will not harass the residents of Quebec. You must march according to the time and route we stipulated..." The Quebec man breathed out Having said a lot of demands, that feeling is completely treating the legion under General Arthur Wellesley as locusts.

"How can combat needs wait for the parliament to review?" General Arthur Wellesley couldn't help it. "Besides, we still have to fight the Americans. How can we not stop here?"

"If you need to resist the attack of the US military, you can resist them here, and we are behind. What do you have to worry about? Why do you have to enter Quebec? If you don't plan to resist the US military here, or you want to transfer to the Going to other fronts, is there anything wrong with crossing Quebec from the specified route at the specified time? Don’t you know how long it will take to walk from Quebec to Ottawa?” said the Quebec man.

"What do you mean 'we are behind us, what do you have to worry about'? Aren't we most worried about you? Marching according to your 'specified time and route'? Then in case you and the Americans, ah, no, you don't You will collude with the Americans, but you will collude with the French. You will collude with the French, and then our marching time and routes will be arranged by you, and you will directly arrange us into the encirclement?" Arthur Wellesley The general thought to himself. But he fought back his anger, saying it was impossible for his army to accept such "excessive demands".

"Then you can make a request to the Governor-General, and then let him come forward to discuss with the Quebec Parliament." The Quebecer said again.

This statement is really an insult to the IQ of General Arthur Wellesley. Now is the time of war, come to such a document to travel, and then argue with each other, today you send a document, I will study it for half a month, and then send a document to make counter-suggestions, and then study, and then send the document, and then Study for another half a month, and then turn around and send an article back to discuss the legal effect of the Governor's Mansion's writing. Then everyone will quote the classics and apply various precedents. It is best to fight another lawsuit, and then... well, this is also Spent too much time. This matter can definitely be settled before His Majesty Constantine XI rides a snow-white horse with four hooves and returns like lightning.

"It will take too much time to do so, and it is simply impossible."

"Then you don't need to enter Quebec, you can go west from here to Cleveland-that city is still in the hands of our British."

Cleveland is indeed still in the hands of the British, but the situation over there is not good, because before that, Americans have been coming here with small mines at night to risk mines. Although the British killed many Americans who came to lay mines, the threat of mines is also growing. Therefore, Cleveland's defenders are already retreating. Now that the Quebecers are proposing this method, it is obviously nonsense and has no sincerity to solve the problem at all.

"Now it's a war, what you're doing is treason!" General Arthur Wellesley finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Our army must pass through Quebec, and the route and time must be according to my intentions." Let’s decide. You must get out of the way immediately, I can give you a day to think about it, if you still don’t get out of the way after one day, we will regard you as rebels!”
