General Arthur Wellesley began the withdrawal of troops from New York. Withdrawal is always the most complicated, especially when you have an army in front of you with the intention of pursuing. General Andrew Jackson, who took over as the commander of defense in New York, was not as good as the more experienced General Arthur Wellesley in terms of military ability, but he was not a casual fellow, and after determining the withdrawal of the British, he began to harass the British and slow down their retreat.

Naturally, the Americans did this for a purpose. Although the skills of the Americans to play intrigue on the battlefield are not too good. But playing these outside of the battlefield, their level is not bad. So General Arthur Wellesley retreated at first. The Americans immediately understood what he meant, and what he was worried about. So the Yankees, while holding him back as much as possible, began to spread rumors that the French in Quebec were in contact with the Americans, preparing to flank the front and rear and wipe out General Arthur Wellesley's British army in one fell swoop.

Because the organization and mobilization of Quebec's National Guard took more time, the U.S. military had to hold off General Arthur Wellesley to buy time for its allies.

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

General Andrew Jackson, speaking to the soldiers to boost their morale, told them: "We will keep attacking, holding them back, biting them, like vicious dogs, biting at a time, never letting go." Because as long as we bite the British, they are dead. Behind them, our allies are preparing, they are compacting their own gunpowder with their tongs, loading their bullets - it will take time. The English boar in front of us was about to take advantage of this time and quickly flee back into the woods. Now, all we have to do is bite it back, don't let it run away, and when our companions are loaded with bullets, we will have meat to eat with a 'bang'......"

When the soldiers heard this, their morale was naturally 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.

Although the American soldiers were generally more patriotic, they generally had little training in counter-interrogation, so under cross-examination by the British, they quickly told General Andrew Jackson and the big secret they had told them.

General Arthur Wellesley knew that it was all a Yankee conspiracy. But the problem is that the "French-speaking British" on the Quebec side really seem to be in a bit of a different mood right now.

To be honest, out of fear of "revolution", at first, the "French-speaking British" in Quebec were actually a little afraid of France. So at that time, they didn't really want to be French again. But as France grew stronger and more stable, the "French-speaking English" who had re-emerged as French had become attractive to Quebec. Especially when they learned about Louisiana's various tax policies and the state of economic development, post-revolutionary France became more and more lovely.

And in the past few years, relying on the advantage of speaking French, some merchants in Quebec have also made a lot of money in business with Louisiana. (Although they would jealously ridicule the "French citizens abroad" in Louisiana as "German-speaking Frenchmen", and it is true that those guys often use German in their lives or use French with German and German with French, but there is only one language in Louisiana, both in the official and in the media, French, so the "German-speaking French" may eventually come up with a kind of Louisiana French.) Many of them were infiltrated by the Ministry of Truth and became the face of France in Quebec.

After the outbreak of the war between the United States and England, the "French-speaking British" in Quebec were very active, they actively organized self-defense forces, and took the initiative to participate in the war.

Because the French had used cruisers as temporary intermediaries to connect the radio links between the Atlantic and the European continent, those in Quebec who were already in the service of the "Ministry of Truth" knew even more about the French declaration of war on Britain and the destruction of the British fleet in the naval battle of the North Atlantic, even than the Governor of Canada.

When they got the news, those in Quebec who were bent on changing themselves from "French-speaking English" to "French-speaking French" jumped into action. In the name of supporting the war effort, they trained more troops, and they also built a number of fortifications in Quebec – nominally, of course, against English-speaking ...... Well, English-speaking Americans.

Now that the friendly forces were retreating, the "French-speaking British" in Quebec went straight into the fortifications and set up a defensive posture.

This posture could naturally be interpreted as preparing for a possible attack by the Americans, as well as preparing for an attack by the purebred English-speaking Britons under General Arthur Wellesley, or even as preparing to flank the English-speaking Britons with the English-speaking Americans.

As soon as they saw the actions of the "French-speaking Englishmen" behind them, the authentic Englishmen immediately became nervous. General Arthur Wellesley immediately sent a detachment of cavalry to ask the "Quebec Volunteers" what they were going to do.

And the Quebec Volunteers, who didn't care about 3721, opened fire on the British cavalry. The cannons and rifles crackled for a while, killing half of the cavalry, and the rest naturally spread their four legs and ran back. Will come back and immediately report that the Quebecers have rebelled.

Soon after, however, several British cavalrymen who had been captured by the "Quebecers" returned. They were accompanied by a member of the "Quebec Volunteers", who told General Arthur Wellesley: "This is a complete misunderstanding. Our people thought they were Americans, you know, they all spoke English! And the tone is not quite right! You know, the Americans often put on our clothes to attack us. So we got nervous ......."
