Chapter 111 Hessian mercenary group, the big war is coming

Bustling Boston, today welcomed a large number of warships. The battleship was in the style of a Galen ship, with two flags on it, one of which was naturally the flag of Great Britain. On the other side, which hangs higher than the national flag, is a black flag with a bow and arrow symbol in the center. This kind of flag is no stranger to the people of Boston, and all the Hessian mercenaries in the colony have the same flag. Colonial Governor Mir arrived at the port early with his henchman, Major General Kamal.

As soon as the ships landed, Charlie and Kamal met them. A middle-aged soldier wearing a British military uniform and a sturdy and stereotypical atmosphere walked down first, looking at the style of the military uniform, he was actually a lieutenant general. Seeing Charlie coming, the lieutenant general also eased his expression a little, a little smile appeared on his face, and walked towards Charlie.

"Lieutenant General Adolf, welcome. ”

"Governor Charles is so polite, I didn't expect you to come to greet you personally, and I am deeply honored. ”

"Haha, General Adolf is too polite, in this way, the carriage is already waiting outside, let's go first, I have prepared a welcome banquet for the general. ”

"Well, my subordinates haven't settled down yet. ”

"Don't worry, this Major General Kamal will be in charge of assisting your troops to rest in the barracks, and the food supplies are ready for us. ”

"Well, trouble Major General Kamal. ”

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General is polite, please first. ”

The three of them got together and exchanged a few words, and Lieutenant General Adolf, who was the first to disembark, called a man dressed as a major general and walked away with Kamal. And Adolf, together with Charlie, boarded the carriage of the Doge's Mansion and walked towards the Doge's Palace. There, there was a banquet in which everyone from Charlie's faction participated, specially prepared to welcome them. After the two left, from a dozen large Galen ships, a full 30,000 Hessian mercenaries came down at a time.

The faces of the six detectives hiding in the shadows changed a little all of a sudden. Three of them, slowly coming together, began to whisper something.

"Damn, there are so many people here, what should I do, do you want to withdraw immediately, Lord Logan is still waiting for our news. ”

"Don't worry, we need to find out the weapons of these people, as long as it is not too outrageous, the company is still sure. We moved a little closer and spread out. ”

"Good!"

As the words fell, three ordinary white men began to stealthily approach the unloading ship. The actions of the three of them were very normal, and it was not an elite agent who couldn't see that they were trying to spy on intelligence, and thought they were just three gangsters hanging out. Approaching some distance, one of the younger, found that there was no one at the top of a house, and used to observe the situation in the harbor. He made a few secret gestures, and the three of them slowly walked into the alleyway. There was no one in the alleyway, and the three of them looked at each other and rolled up their sleeves at the same time, revealing a catapult device.

After three barely audible sounds, three flying claws hooked the eaves of the five-meter-high house. The three of them stepped on the wall with a light jump, and the flying claws began to shrink, and under the drive of the flying claws, the three of them went to the roof after a minute, found the right angle and lay down. The people inside the house, in the process, did not find anything. One of the men, taking out a small binoculars from his satchel, began to observe the situation in the harbor more than 300 meters away.

In this era, those white people in Europe can't make such powerful props at all, so these people, of course, are Wei Xiao's subordinates. Moreover, they are not ordinary soldiers, they are soldiers of the Night Owl Special Reconnaissance Battalion independent of the first to ninth battalions of the Yanhuang Trading Company's escort team. After a year or two in Boston, the three were temporarily sent to join Logan, who was responsible for gathering intelligence on the British colonies, to carry out this secret mission.

The cause of the incident began a month ago. Xiao Lin really has a bit of a headache for the four women of the Charles family, and Xiao Lin, who has no idea of increasing the number of wives, is really a little afraid of these extremely well-developed blonde and blue-eyed beautiful girls. After several more days, Shoren was finally caught by James, and he thought he was going to be in trouble, but he didn't expect Jaime to give him a piece of information.

Jaime's father, Alger, recently got a message that he thinks is very important to Chaulin. Therefore, he immediately sent a few henchmen and riders, all the way to the company's first town, and handed over the information to Jaime, who in turn handed it to Sholin. This news is that the Governor Inspector Mill asked for help from the British mainland and asked to send a large number of Hessian mercenaries.

Let's talk about the Hessian mercenaries, the term "Hessian mercenaries" in English usually refers to the German regiments that served in the British army in the 18th century. During the American Revolutionary War, Frederick II, Lord of Hesse-Kassel, and other German lords recruited tens of thousands of soldiers as reinforcements for British combat forces in North America. About 30,000 of these people were recruited, and they were called "Hessian mercenaries", since 16,992 of the 30,067 mercenaries were from Hesse-Kassel.

The vast majority of them are conscripts, criminals, gamblers, and bankrupts. Military salaries were very low, and many troops could only meet their needs for food and clothing. Most of the officers had fought in some of the wars on the European continent, and were supposed to be veterans of the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War, and they inherited the bravery and loyalty of the Germans, and some Hessian mercenaries showed good records and excellent military skills.

Now, the combat effectiveness of the Hessian mercenaries is not comparable to that of the British army. At least, in terms of combat experience, the horse can't catch up. Shoren was not afraid of the white troops of the colony, nor of the Hessian mercenaries who were now scattered all over the place, almost in the thousands. But if there is a huge number of Hessian mercenary groups, it is not good news for the company. As long as there are 20,000 Hessian mercenaries, armed with new muskets and artillery, to attack the company, the company will be very dangerous.

The same weaponry in the hands of the colonial militia and Indians, and in the hands of the elite Hessian mercenaries, the power that can be exerted is completely different. At that time, I am afraid that Xiao Lin can only mobilize the entire population and participate in the war together. As for the transfer of the company's residence, it is not possible now. After many experiments, Shawlin has been the same every time he has traveled back to the American continent no matter where he started to travel in the 21st century, and the current place not only cannot be abandoned, but may also become the capital in the future.

The three elite night owl warriors lay on the roof for a day before finally determining the equipment of the 30,000 Hessian mercenaries. Fortunately, the British probably didn't want to spend too much money, so they didn't equip them with the best equipment. Look at the style, that is, the kind of 17th-century weapons used by the colonial troops. However, I just don't know if Charlie is willing to pay blood. The brown bass musket and the previous cannons, the colonies are afraid that they can be imitated, and if they are fully activated, they will be able to produce enough quantities in half a year at most.

The Night Stalker took advantage of the night to leave the roof and return to an inn. However, the other three spies from France did not stop. At this time, they were planning to enter the barracks to find out the information of the Hessian mercenaries. Compared to the night owl warriors, these three spies are too rubbish, although they also heard a lot of information, but they were discovered. Surrounded by Hessian mercenaries, not a single one escaped. After that, some British troops began to appear in the hotels, searching for strangers to arrive.

At this time, the three night owl warriors had already packed their bags and left Boston. In a small new pub in rural Boston, they meet Logan, who is disguised as the owner. The reason why the French are here is because they suspect that these Hessian mercenaries were prepared for them by Charlie. In the previous encirclement and suppression operations, there was a lot of friction between the two armies, and most of the spoils were taken away by the French, and the British could only drink some thin soup.

The British were so dissatisfied with this that they almost got into a fight. Fortunately, the commanders of both sides were quite restrained, otherwise I am afraid that they would have fought directly. Coupled with the previous grievances, the contradictions between the two sides are almost on the surface. And with the Yanhuang Trading Company completely crippling the Addams family, the strength of the British colonies has also suffered a lot of losses. If it weren't for these 30,000 Hessian mercenaries, I am afraid that the fight would not be the opponent of the French at all.

The French had already begun to prepare for war, intending to drive the British away and seize the colonies in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, 30,000 elite Hessian mercenaries came. From the moment they received the news, the French relented a lot, and were ready to re-plan, plan and then act. Unexpectedly, three elite spies were sent this time, but none of them came back. At this time, most people in France believe that these Hessian mercenaries are here for them.

The French began a two-pronged plan, first, to strengthen the colonial army and strengthen the guard against a surprise attack by the British. Secondly, some people also started to reach out to Adolf with huge amounts of money. The Hessian mercenaries are the masters who recognize money but not people, and maybe, they can pull these people over. However, they may not have imagined that the price of the British was too high this time. The dozen or so Galen warships were part of their remuneration. As a brand-new warship produced by the British, who are still in the hegemon, the temptation is too great for the master behind Adolf.

In any case, after the Hessian mercenaries landed, the atmosphere of the entire North American continent changed. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and a fight could break out at any moment. Sholin also shifted his focus to the military, returning to the 21st century, chasing after the engineers every day, hoping that before the war, there would be light machine guns equipped with the troops.
