Chapter 496: Bad Intentions

Back at the hotel where he stayed, Battz obviously did not get out of his good mentality of angrily yelling at the military personnel. His emotions were still excited and he kept talking; "Did you see George, the young officer who tried to find a sense of existence in me was scolded by the commander. What a stupid and pitiful guy. He was provoking a person he could not afford, that was me..."

"Okay, Badz, I feel tired."

George obviously had no interest in holding Batz's stinky feet, and walked over and sat down with no interest.

He regrets getting into this stage of things. Things are far from as simple as it seems. In the future, smuggling business in Mozambique will definitely attract the attention of the military. This is very bad news.

He was not interested in what mission Battz had, nor did he want to know that priests, diplomatic envoys, captains, adventurers or merchants who went from Europe to the world had more or less shouldered some missions, so naturally those who were interested would pay for some high-value intelligence.

What is dismayed is that...it affects one's own money making.

"Oh...man, don't do this, um...I know this may affect your business, I'm sorry." Batterz finally admitted his mistake. The Queenslander didn't seem easy to fool, and he knew it would have an adverse impact on his partner.

George waved his hand in a low mood; "I didn't expect that Queenslanders would be so vigilant. This is awful. I want to go to the bar for a drink and find a hot chick by the way. We need to relax."

"Will you keep helping me, George?"

"Uh... you want to go deep into the inland along the Central Avenue site under construction, right? I think they will stare at you, it won't be a good idea." George's expression was a little hesitant.

"No, George, I've changed my mind now. Seeing the Queenslanders doing the construction here, it's obvious that they are serious. In order to occupy the place, I'm willing to fight with any force. I'm here just to determine their intentions. This is obvious." Batterz did not hide his purpose, but then he changed his mind and said;

"I served in the French army for many years and fought against the Qing people on the Indochina Peninsula. The Qing New Army holding Mauser rifles reminded me of the Queensland soldiers here, and there are many similarities between them.

Especially the Miss Australia artillery, which was fiercely fired in the Qing Dynasty, was obviously from Queensland, which was impressive.

Now I have seen a new medium-caliber field gun in Hekou Town, which is smaller than the Miss Australia gun, but lighter. It is estimated that the weight will not exceed 500 pounds, which aroused my great interest.

Some time ago

These Queensland soldiers broke through the strong wall defense of Climane, and perhaps used this kind of field artillery that could accompany infantry attacks, and could blast the walls built by the earth rammed in Climane. Think about it... This is of great significance to the French army.

If we can get the exact information about this type of field artillery, or get a physical object, we will definitely receive high praise from Shangfeng."

watt?

Hearing his intentions, George's head was covered in black, his whole body became bad.

As a smuggler who has been wandering on the brink of danger for many years, George knows the huge gap between spying on economic intelligence and spying on military intelligence. Once he is captured, those rude soldiers will not care who you are, which means great danger.

"No, Batters, I think you've found the wrong person." George's head shook like a rattle and flatly refused. "We've been on the blacklist. Just look at the Queenslanders' control over it. Any outrageous behavior will cost us. Your thoughts will put us in danger. Please forgive me for not being crazy with you."

"George, I need your help."

"Please forgive me for being powerless about it, to be honest, Badz, I think you're playing with fire."

"No, George, the key is what kind of reward we can get." Battz tried to persuade George, and walked over and sat down beside him and continued. "Man, if we succeed, I bet you can get a trade concession, and you can run any specialty produced in the French Indochina Peninsula openly, and you will make a fortune."

"No, it's too dangerous. I'll lose my head. I'm afraid I'm not going to enjoy the big cake you drew. And how big can there be in the big place in Reunion? Don't tell me you can handle Mozambique."

"Ahhh...you're like an indecisive woman, not an adventurous smuggling merchant."

"Thank you for your compliment. It is precisely because of my cautiousness that I can live to this day."

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

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in these. In order to counter the pressure from the Germans, the French Army equipped tens of thousands of artillery artillery with various caliber. To be honest, I don't think this small cannon can change anything. On the contrary, the danger is extremely high. If you are caught, you won't have the good luck this time. A commander who happened to pass by will rescue us."

"George, you won't understand how important the application value of a field artillery that can be equipped to an infantry battalion or even an infantry company is? Two soldiers can drag and run around and provide fire support at any time. This is simply a revolutionary change. It can change the current style of field infantry combat and has important epoch-making significance." As a military expert, Badz obviously understands the importance of a 60mm field artillery, so he is more eager to get it.

France was a traditional European army power. During the Napoleon era, it swept across Europe and fought against the attacks of the entire European anti-French alliance with its own strength.

Until today

The French army, which suffered a tragic defeat in the French-Prussian War, hoped to replay its former glory and vigorously rebuild its army, taking it as its mission to defeat its old enemy, the German Empire and its allies, attaches particular importance to artillery construction and equip it with tens of thousands of artillery through various means on a large scale.

In Badz's view, light artillery that can be accompanied by field infantry attacks is enough to change the battlefield situation, and is no less important than heavy artillery that can knock on a solid fortress.

He repeatedly persuaded George to participate in the action and lured him to make great profits, which finally made George feel relieved. Battz was overjoyed and suggested going to the bar to relax, so the two left anxiously.

The door of the next room creaked open, and the second lieutenant Wu Guodong walked out of it, looking thoughtful as he watched the two Frenchmen leaving.

Behind him were several men with strong expressions packing up their monitoring equipment. One of them came over and asked, "Captain, are you still following?"

"Of course I have to follow me. You guys quickly pack up and go to the bar. I want to know who these two French people have contacted, what they said, how to act, and what they have helped, including what they ate for dinner, and how long they can last on women, I need to know all of them."

"Okay, leave it to us." The leader nodded, and greeted several companions and quickly followed out of the hotel, scattered and hid in the crowd.

Second Lieutenant Wu Guodong met with these two Frenchmen and could only stay in the next room and wait for the report. It is now confirmed that the two Frenchmen have bad intentions and actually put their ideas on the 60mm field cannon. I really don’t know how to write the word “death”?

In today's era, the awareness of confidentiality is not strong, and monitoring can be regarded as a killer weapon.

What you need now... is to get the exact evidence.

It is impossible for the ranks of the regiment to report to the Expeditionary Force headquarters just based on suspicion, and the Expeditionary Force headquarters won't report to the base camp just based on suspicion. This is completely unconvincing.

Second Lieutenant Wu Guodong secretly made up his mind to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and get conclusive evidence, so that the French would never succeed and harm the interests of the expeditionary force.
