Australian Storm 1876

Chapter 493: Bad intentions

   Chapter 493

Back at the hotel where he was staying, Bartz obviously did not come out of the good mentality of the angry military personnel. He still seemed excited, and said endlessly; "Did you see George, the young officer who tried to find presence in me? I was reprimanded by the chief. He was really a stupid and poor guy. He was provking someone he couldn't afford, and that was me..."

   "Okay Butz, I feel tired."

  George was obviously not interested in holding Bartez’s stinky feet, and walked over and sat down uninterestedly.

  He regrets being involved in this situation. The matter is far from as simple as it seems. In the future, smuggling business in Mozambique will definitely receive the military's attention. This is very bad news.

He is not interested in what mission Battz has, and he does not want to know. The priests, diplomatic envoys, captains, adventurers or businessmen who travel from Europe to the world have more or less missions. Naturally interested people will be highly regarded. Value intelligence pays the bill.

  The frustrating thing is...this affects my own money.

"Oh... buddy, don't do this, um... I know this may affect your business, I'm sorry." Bartz finally admitted wrong, the Queenslander doesn't seem to be fooled, he knows it will be harmful to his partner Influence.

  George waved his hand in a low mood; “I didn’t expect Queenslanders to be so vigilant. This is terrible. I want to go to the bar for a drink and find a **** by the way. We need to relax.”

   "Will you continue to help me, George?"

   "Uh...you want to go deep into the interior along the construction site of the Central Avenue that is being built, right? I think they will stare at you, it wouldn't be a good idea." George's expression hesitated.

"No, George, I have changed my mind now. Watching the Queenslanders fighting for construction here, it is obvious that they are serious. They will fight against any forces in order to occupy this place. I came here just to confirm them. This is an obvious thing.” Butz did not hide his purpose, but immediately changed the conversation and said;

  "I used to serve in the French army for many years and fought with the Qing people on the Indochina Peninsula. Those new Qing troops armed with Mauser rifles remind me of the Queensland soldiers here. There are many similarities between them.

  Especially the Miss Australia artillery fired by the Qing Dynasty, apparently from Queensland, which is impressive.

  Now I have seen a new type of medium-caliber field gun in Hekou Town. It has a smaller caliber than Miss Australia’s artillery, but it is lighter. It is estimated that it will not weigh more than 500 pounds. This has aroused my great interest.

  Some time ago

These Queensland soldiers broke through the fortified walls of Klimain. Perhaps they used this kind of field artillery that could accompany the infantry offensive. They were able to blast through the mud-rammed walls in Klima. extraordinary.

  If we can get the exact information about this type of field artillery, or get a real object, we will definitely be commended by the height of the peak. "

  Watt?

  Hearing his intentions, George was full of black lines, and the whole person became bad.

As a smuggler who has been on the verge of danger for many years, George knows the huge gap between spying on economic intelligence and spying on military intelligence. Once caught by mistake, those rude soldiers won’t care who you are. This means a great deal. Dangerous.

"No, Bartez, I think you have found the wrong person." George's head shook like a rattle, and he flatly refused to say; "We are already on the blacklist. Just look at the degree of control of the Queenslanders here. Extraordinary behavior will pay a price. Your thoughts will put us in a dangerous situation. Please forgive me for not being crazy with you."

   "George, I need your help."

   "Please forgive me for my inability to do anything about this. Seriously Bartez, I think you are playing with fire."

"No, George, the key is what kind of reward we can get." Bartez tried to persuade George, came over and sat down beside him and continued; "Man, if we succeed, I bet you can With the trade concession, you can operate any special product produced in the French Indochina peninsula in an upright manner. You will make a fortune buddy."

"No, it's too dangerous. I will lose my head. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy the flatbread you drew, and how big a market can there be in a little bit of Reunion Island? Don't tell me you can handle Mozambique. "

   "Aha... you sound like an indecisive woman, not an adventurous smuggler."

   "Thank you for your compliment, it is because of my carefulness that I can live to this day."

   "Don't be like this George, think about it, how urgent the French army needs this new field artillery, then we will have much credit, and we will all become French heroes."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in these. The French Army has equipped tens of thousands of guns of various calibers to counter the pressure of the Germans. Seriously, I don't think this small gun can change anything. On the contrary, it is extremely dangerous. If we get caught, we won’t be lucky again this time. A chief who happened to pass by will rescue us."

"George, you don't understand how important the application value of a field artillery that can be equipped to an infantry battalion or even an infantry company? Two soldiers can drag and run around and provide fire support at any time. This is a revolutionary change. The ability to change the current combat style of field infantry is of great epoch-making significance." As a military expert, Barttz clearly understands the importance of 60mm field artillery, so he wants it more urgently.

  France is a traditional European army power. During the Napoleonic era, it swept across Europe and used its own strength to counter the attacks of the entire European anti-French alliance.

  Until today

  The French army, which failed miserably in the Franco-Prussian War, expects to regain its past glory, vigorously rebuild its army, and take the defeat of its old enemy the German Empire and its allies as its mission. It pays special attention to artillery construction and is equipped with tens of thousands of artillery pieces of various ways on a large scale.

  In Batz’s opinion, the light artillery that can accompany the field infantry offensive is enough to change the battlefield situation, and its importance is no less important than the heavy artillery that can strike a strong fortress.

  He repeatedly persuaded George to take part in the action, enticing him to make huge profits, and finally let George relieved. But overjoyed, Batz suggested to go to the bar to relax, so the two eagerly left.

  The door of the next room opened with a creak, and Lieutenant Wu Guodong, with a grim face, walked out of it, looking thoughtfully at the back of the two Frenchmen leaving.

  Behind him, there are several men with sturdy expressions who are packing up the monitoring equipment. One of them came over and asked; "Group leader, are you still following?"

"Of course I'm going to follow. You guys should pack up and go to the bar. I want to know who these two Frenchmen were in contact with, what they said, how they were going to act, and any helpers, including what they ate for dinner, and what they can do with women. I know how long it takes."

   "Okay, leave it to us." The leader nodded, greeted several companions and quickly followed out of the hostel, and disappeared into the crowd.

Lieutenant Wu Guodong had taken photos with the two Frenchmen, and could only regretfully stay in the next room to wait for the report. Now it is determined that the two Frenchmen had bad intentions and even hit the 60mm field gun. Don't know how to write the word "dead"?

  In today's era, the sense of confidentiality is not strong, and monitoring can be described as a big killer.

  All we need now...is to get definite evidence.

  Master Tuanzuo cannot report to the Expeditionary Army Headquarters based on suspicion, and the Expeditionary Army Headquarters will not report to the base camp based on suspicion. This is completely unconvincing.

  Second Lieutenant Wu Guodong secretly made up his mind that he must find conclusive evidence behind the scenes, and never let the French conspiracy succeed and harm the interests of the expeditionary army.
