Chapter 659: Secret Agent (First Update)

On the last day of May, more than 20,000 officers and men of the 167th Division, commanded by the command, crossed the Waimberni River and arrived at Winnipeg, a city of only a few hundred men, and although they had marched thousands of kilometers, Wimbern was the first city they had conquered established by European settlers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If Wimbern with a population of less than 1,000 people is considered a city.

In fact, the citizens of Wimbernie did not resist at all in the face of the invaders, and the population of the city was not as large as the soldiers of the vanguard at all.

On the North American continent, the 167th Division, which can be said to be an extremely large force, is a force of more than 20,000 people. They are soldiers, but they are also volunteers. A few months ago, they were just a group of lumberjacks, and they came here for a salary of a dozen yuan a month, and of course they were Chinese.

It is precisely because of this that they were drafted to become soldiers, and although many of them could not read or write, it did not prevent them from fighting for the future of China as part of the imperial army.

These former lumberjacks believed in their commanders. They marched methodically eastward on their long journey, using the steppes to conceal their tracks, and they would appear in front of any of the resisters at any time, easily destroying their resistance - of course, most of the time, they were only attacked by the natives, the natives who had been bribed by the British.

For these warriors, their aim was very simple: to drive the British out of North America and turn this rich land into Chinese territory. And what they wanted was to be able to attract the British army as soon as possible, and then fight a decisive battle with them, and finally annihilate them in one fell swoop.

And now, as they crossed the Wimbernie River, they had penetrated into Lower Canada, the most important territory of the British in North America, where hundreds of thousands of European immigrants lived, but most of them were French immigrants, and because of this, in the past negotiations it belonged to the French sphere of influence, and now, the agreement has been torn up!

Now, this huge army has brought unprecedented panic and, of course, anger to all of Canada, accompanied by despair.

Who can stand in their way?

No one!

A European dressed as a cowboy rode into a dark forest near Wimberny, then he jumped off his horse and walked cautiously ahead, the dense forest giving him good cover, and at the edge of the forest, his vision suddenly opened up to see miles away. He saw a large group of men and horses in front of him, like a green wave walking on the grassland. The procession came from the west and marched eastward, and in the middle of the procession there were flags everywhere, and from time to time cavalry ran on either side of the procession.

"Chinese!"

The cowboy hid himself behind a large tree and began to count the flags below. Not ten thousand, for sure!

Now this huge division appeared in front of his eyes at a glance. Through his binoculars, he could recognize the Chinese wearing what he called his familiar soft cloth hats, which have always characterized the Chinese military, whether in Australia or in Africa or Ireland.

“……”

Looking at the pocket watch in his hand, he wrote down the time, and compared the time, he found that these Chinese marched quickly, even very fast, far exceeding the British army, even the fastest British army did not move so quickly.

"At the current rate, they will soon be in Thunder Bay......"

Thinking in his heart, he quietly dived back into the depths of the forest, then got on his horse and slowly left the forest, running towards Wenbo mud in the silent and empty grassland, he did not leave the city because it was occupied by the Chinese, he believed that there he could get more information.

As soon as it gets dark, it becomes more dangerous! But he couldn't get up quickly, and his horse was tired.

When it was completely dark, he finally arrived at Wimbern, and in the meadows outside Wimberny, he saw the tents, he had never seen such a large camp, the camp was full of campfires, and the smell of roasted meat was in the air, where they were preparing dinner, where bison were the ubiquitous prey, and of course the most important food for the army.

Smelling the smell of meat in the air, his brows were tightly locked, because of the bison, the Chinese could not lack food at all, just like those explorers and fur traders, they all used the bison on the grassland as food, and now the Chinese are the same.

"But they will soon be out of the grasslands, and the further east they go, the fewer bison will become......

As he pondered this, he saw the pub in downtown Wimbern, which seemed to be still open, and in fact, the war did not seem to have any effect on Wimbern, and the merchants here were still doing their business, and the bars were no exception.

As soon as he entered the bar, he realized that he had come to the right place, and the bar was full of Chinese, officers and soldiers, and they were all drinking there.

"Bring me a whiskey!"

Sitting down at the counter, he said to the owner of the bar,

"Thunder Bay!"

Suddenly, as he was drinking his own whiskey from his glass, a place name came to his ears.

"That's supposed to be the first tough battle we're going to fight!"

It was an officer who spoke, and sitting next to him was a young white teenager, who was already drunk and looked at the boy and said,

"There's no way around it, there are thousands of Brits stationed there, and they're trying to stop us there, but God knows, it's just delusion! Thunder Bay......"

There was a hint of mockery in the officer's tone.

"A military fortress? Of course, what about military forts? We can conquer it just as easily! ”

He was no stranger to Thunder Bay, who had come here to gather intelligence for the army, which had been used as a military fortress and an outpost for the westward march from the beginning, and where an extremely large army had now gathered, an army of nearly two thousand men.

The reason why such a large army was gathered there was because it was a fortress, the first one built by the French, and after hundreds of years of improvement, it was strong enough to hold off any enemy, at least to some extent.

It is precisely because of this that the British army will choose there as the first line of defense to stop the Chinese attack, because of the lack of military strength, so almost no one mentions a decisive battle with the Chinese in the open area, for the British, the best choice now is to let the Chinese go to seize the fortresses one by one, and use those fortresses to drain the blood of China.

Maybe Chinese good at attacking, but it was in the open, in front of a fortress...... Unless the Chinese use poison gas! Otherwise, every fortress will cost the Chinese thousands, if not tens of thousands, of casualties.

That's why he came here - to scout the Chinese troops, especially to get information about poison gas, and if this Chinese army had poison gas, the outcome of the war would be obvious. Cylinders made of bronze or steel!

According to the information obtained from China, the Chinese will put poison gas in cylinders, and all he needs is to find out whether the Chinese have cylinders for poison gas, and if possible, blow up the poison gas, so that the Chinese can taste the power of poison gas themselves.

Obviously, it is not easy to get this information, he is white, how can a white man fit into the Chinese? Looking at the white boy, he was a little envious of this teenager, at least he was accepted by the Chinese,

"Sir, who is he? It seems that the Chinese like him very much. ”

He casually asked the tavern owner,

"His name is Nick, Wimbern came with the Chinese, and according to his own words, his father was a businessman who was doing business with the Chinese!"

Businessman, business?

After getting this news, his eyebrows raised, looking at this teenager with some surprise, although it is not clear what kind of transaction the teenager's father has with the Chinese, but it is certain that this is a very important information, which means that there are already many people cooperating with the Chinese, and the Chinese can use money to buy the materials they need here, as long as they have money!

"Doing business with the Chinese? What shall they pay their bills? ”

Seemingly random questions, let the bar owner take the initiative to say.

"Silver coins, silver coins that weigh the same as U.S. silver coins, these Chinese......"

The bar owner looked at the Chinese soldiers and said with some sighs.

"Each of them has a large amount of silver in their pockets, they are willing to buy everything they need, trust me, doing business with them right now is the best option, and they will never owe you even a penny, how about it, are you interested, if you are interested, I can introduce you to Nick!"

Although the bar owner's answer made him feel a little angry, he couldn't understand why the bar owner would betray the queen so easily and start a business with the enemy, but this was also what he needed, he needed to know those Chinese through Nick, and then get the information he needed from those Chinese mouths.

"Well, is that okay?"

He looked at the bar owner in some surprise, and then said with some chagrin.

"But, I'm not a businessman, I'm here to ...... Maybe"

After a pause, he pretended to be interested, and then said.

"Maybe, I can give it a try! After all, it's an opportunity, who knows? I don't have much money though! ”

"Hehe......"

His answer was met with a helpless smile from the bar owner.

"I'd love to do business with Chinese, but ...... It's not easy, you don't know, this Nick, in fact, is a hostage, a hostage given by his father to the Chinese! That's why they get the opportunity to do business with the Chinese! ”
