Chapter 431: The Mercenary's Retreat (1)
"Brothers, move forward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info When you get to the town ahead, I'll ask the local officials to provide you with horses. The U.S. official stood on the side of the road, panting and shouting at the Hessian mercenaries. It was only a minority of the Hessian mercenaries who knew English, and the shouting did not elicit the slightest response from these marchers with rifles on their backs.
Of course, U.S. officials didn't really take this seriously, and his tired and somewhat shaky posture is enough to show how perfunctory this attitude is. William?? Hesse had participated in operations with mercenaries in British-ruled Egypt, so the American accent sounded funny to his ears, and he was even more unpleasant.
"Hey! Do you think that American looks like a slave trader? "William?? Hesse asked the surveyor walking beside him.
The surveyor was a little out of his mind when he saw the tornado, and now he was back to normal. Listen to William?? After Hesse finished speaking, he looked at the American official who was hoarsely encouraging the team, and the surveyor smiled, "I think the slave trader is more reliable than him." If there really are so-called horses, this guy should take a small group of people to the front and bring the herd back first, and then talk nonsense about having more horses. ”
William?? Hesse couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this, the American official was unreliable in the eyes of the Hessian mercenaries. But the official worked hard enough. After the storm passed, the Hessian mercenaries did not want to move forward and asked to return the same way, but in addition to strong opposition, this official actually took the trouble to personally lead the team, relying on two legs to walk in the front. If this official dared to make any request for the Hessian mercenary group to help him in his actions, probably the mercenary group's only reaction was to return immediately.
It was not easy to stop when he said this, and the surveyor asked, "Do you think it is really the Chinese who fell from the sky?" ”
Don't wait for William?? Hesse spoke, and the brother next to him couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Ha! That official has to say that the Chinese still bring women with them when they fight, do you believe it? And the ratio is about 1:1. ”
The mercenaries who heard this all laughed, these people could understand the nonsense of the American officials with their eyes open. It's just that talking nonsense to the point of insulting people's IQ is a bit excessive. Mercenaries are not ignorant of military affairs, and it is impossible for any combat-ready army to cram so many women into the troops. William?? Hesse laughed: "Why did these Americans kill so many Indians?" Men and women, old and young, are not spared. ”
The corpses that fell from the sky were of all ages, and in terms of freshness, they had been killed in the last two or three days. The Hessian mercenaries were known for their excellent rifle shooting skills, but they were equally proficient in hand-to-hand combat. These men had seen the severed limbs and determined that many Indians had been dismembered with knives, that is, dismantled into pieces and inserted into sharpened sticks. From a normal point of view, it should be used to show the public. On the whole, the Americans, as those little yellow books said, were systematically and purposefully slaughtered by the Americans to continue to slaughter the Indians.
"Recently, the Chinese have tried to get European countries to recognize Indians, and the Yankees probably think that killing the Indians will make the Chinese lose their excuse."
"Excuses? If killing all the aborigines can be called an excuse, then the Chinese killing all the Americans is also a good excuse. "No need William?? Hesse intervened, and the answerers began to argue themselves.
"If the United States is willing to support some local Indians now, and let these Indians compete with China for the orthodoxy of the American Indians, the European countries will definitely agree. At that time, the excuses of the Chinese were useless. But now that the United States is killing so much, the Indians have run to the Chinese, and it is useless for the United States to accuse China of massacre. The Chinese are the king bastards, and the United States is probably the king and the nine eggs. Everyone is just coming first, first served. "A ten-man captain intervened in the discussion, William?? Hesse listened to him very carefully. Because this ten-man chief is one of the two literate fellows who once aspired to be a local physicist and later had to look forward to becoming a traveler, these two guys are actually very valuable in judging things.
"What does this have to do with us?" The surveyor asked a very pragmatic question.
The ten-man who dreamed of becoming a traveler replied: "If China just wants to defeat the United States and let the United States cede land and pay reparations." Then we have a lot to do, and there are many opportunities to make money. If the Chinese want to learn from the American model of treating the Indians, win over the Indians, and eliminate the Yankees in North America. Then it's better for us to take care of our own lives first and withdraw as soon as possible. ”
William?? Hesse was originally in a relaxed mood, but after hearing this, his mood suddenly became heavy. When he was in Egypt, he participated in the battles against the Mahdi forces, which were very brutal, and if the Mahdi forces were defeated, the British side would probably have no way out. The same is true for the Mahdi side, where the British are killing the Mahdi on the battlefield and at other times. In order to achieve victory, everyone is committed to destroying the living forces of the enemy.
To devote yourself to such a war is to throw yourself into hell. No mercy, no relaxation. Every day everyone is subjected to the most intense killing, and all emotions that have nothing to do with the killing are forcibly expelled. This made William, who was a Hessian mercenary?? Hesse felt overwhelmed. Come to think of it, William?? Hesse suddenly felt a sense of melancholy in his chest, and he asked, "Hey, do you think that one day the war will stop?" ”
"The war stopped? What do you mean? The surveyor asked.
The ten-man chief said with a smile: "The war has never stopped, at most one or a few countries do not fight, but the war has never stopped." ”
"Is it that miserable?" William?? Hesse was puzzled by the words of the ten-man chief.
The ten people laughed and said: "When our Hessian mercenaries were founded in 1776, after the American Revolutionary War, we went to England in 1798 to kill the rebellious Irish. During the Napoleonic Wars, we were stationed in Britain to assist Britain in defending its homeland. After the Napoleonic Wars, we were again organized into the Hanover Army. It continued to play in various wars until after the reunification of Germany, when there was a large-scale reorganization. For more than 100 years, our Hessian mercenaries have not been idle for more than 100 years since their establishment. If we look at the current situation, we can probably be active for a hundred years. ”
Having listened to the history of the Hessian mercenaries over the past hundred years, as well as the ten-captain's predictions for the next hundred years, William?? Hesse said in despair: "Can't we fight a decisive war and cleanse all the contradictions in that war at once?" ”
The Centurion didn't expect William?? Hesse actually made such a point, he brushed the beard on his chin with his hand, and walked for a while before he said, "Well...... that's a way to do that. But it had to be a war in which all countries of the world participated. Only when all the countries of the world participated in such a war, and only when almost all the blood of the world was shed in the war, will it be possible for everyone to come to their senses. ”
Listen to the Centurion say this, William?? Hesse only felt better. In any case, there is finally hope for world peace. Unexpectedly, the ten-division immediately added, "It's not okay to do something like the Yankees." In fact, I think that instead of killing the Indians, the Yankees should obediently cede the land and sue for peace. If the war goes on like this, when both sides have no mercy at all, I think there is a great possibility that the Americans will die. ”
Don't wait for William?? Hesse spoke, and the mercenary leader, who had been listening to him for a long time, interjected, "Okay, don't say such frustrating words. If the Yankees can't stand it, then won't we be able to make money? ”
The ten-captain couldn't help but laugh a few times after hearing this, "If the Yankees give us dollars, then we will definitely not make money." As they were, they kept losing battles and losing their land. The dollar is bound to be worthless. You know, their gold mines are on the West Coast and around the Rocky Mountains. Now all those places are in Chinese hands. Without gold and silver, the dollar is waste paper! ”
The troops moved forward like this, and although they were increasingly disappointed with their future income and security, they still had to move forward. After all, the mercenary group had already received a deposit from the current German Emperor Wilhelm II, and these deposits were also issued to the mercenaries. Mercenaries all need money, which has long been spent. If this were not the case, the mercenary chieftain would not have asked for five pounds for a ferry ticket from a young German who wished to take a boat back to Europe. Everyone is really short of money.
Everybody move forward, move forward. After resting after dark, the morning continued, and at last we arrived at our destination in the morning. Then these Hessian mercenaries looked at the stunned American officials with disdain. The reason why the official was dumbfounded was because the bustling town next to the train station in his memory had become a ruin at this time. Almost all of the houses were damaged, especially the roof sections, and no intact roof was visible.
As for the meaning that the victims of the town are still trying to repair their houses, this forms a strange combination with the dilapidated town.
"Looks like it's been hit by a tornado." There was schadenfreude in the surveyor's tone, and there was a strong sense of satisfaction after the wish had been granted.
"Captain, if there are no horses or vehicles here. Let's go back quickly. A lot of our luggage and equipment are near those big pits. The Captain of Ten said to the chief.
The head also didn't seem to have any fighting spirit, and what he saw and heard in this line, as well as the results of sorting out what he saw and heard, the head felt that it was a mistake to come to North America to fight. Not to mention the Chinese army, which is called fierce and vicious, the military level of the US Army makes the Hessian mercenaries with a history of more than 100 years look down on it very much.
At this moment, the surveyor first frowned and looked at the sky, then he furrowed his eyebrows, and then raised his telescope to look at the sky. This move made the Hessian mercenaries feel wrong, and many of them raised their binoculars and followed to the sky. Historically, Hessian mercenaries were also known as 'hunters', i.e. snipers. These people have very good eyesight.
There's a little thing in the sky that travels through the clouds, and if it weren't for the sophisticated ZEISS telescope and these excellent visions, it probably wouldn't have been able to spot it. Judging by that trajectory, this thing is definitely not a natural creature. The 'hunters' who understood this all changed their faces. They had seen airships in Germany, and the things in the air were human machines far superior to airships.
