Out of trust in Midachi, Arthur did not ask any more questions.
The whole gang had more fighters this time than in the story.
In the original story, John was not healed when they came, so he did not come. But now the timing has changed. Because Dutch was behind them, their escape was much smoother than before. John was not shot before going up the mountain, so the wounds from the wolf's chase were not too severe.
So after Dutch recovered from his wounds, John was basically healed.
In addition to David and Mike who were not dead, the difficulty of this battle was simply super low level.
As in the story, the Van der Linde gang used a telescope to observe on the top of the snow mountain, and then sneaked down and launched a surprise attack.
For a while, the casualties of the O'Driscoll gang were heavy. Under the attack of David, Mike, and Arthur, the three sharpshooters, the entire O'Driscoll gang was like lambs to be slaughtered, and was completely killed without any changes.
Only after all the personnel were shot did Dutch let the team start the final cleanup work normally.
"It's time to clean up the battlefield, kid. Take everything you can take away. Our ladies and children need to replenish their nutrition. Oh, of course, our old guys also need a little bit of supplementation."
Dutch rode on horseback and commanded everyone. A group of people searched the entire O'Driscoll Gang like hungry wolves.
And this is reality, not a game, so even their clothes were taken away, leaving only the bodies wearing only underwear abandoned in the already beaten camp.
"Hey, Midachi, look what I found!" Bill happily came up with a map, and then handed the map to Dutch who was sitting on the horse.
Dutch took it and took a look, and then threw it on the ground again.
"It's a map, Bill. The O'Driscoll Gang wants to rob Mr. Cornwall's train. It is said that there are a lot of bearer bonds on the train."
"Then why don't we want it, Midachi!" Bill picked up the map again and asked incomprehensibly.
"Look, I found some dynamite in there. Why don't we take over the O'Driscoll gang and rob the train in Cornwall?" Bill held the dynamite in front of him.
Dutch shook his head and looked at the gang members who had gathered around him when they heard about the robbery, with a smile on his face.
"No, kids, we can't rob this train. Pinkerton detectives' law enforcement power in the East has been completely shut down by the Federal Congress. If we commit something big at this time, they will have an excuse to obtain law enforcement power in the East, and then our situation will be in danger.
And Mr. Leviticus Cornwall is not an easy person to deal with. He is an oil tycoon, a railroad tycoon, and a sugar merchant. He has a very high voice here. It is not a good plan for us to offend Mr. Cornwall for just a few thousand dollars of bonds. At least before we really have strength in the future, we still have to try to hide.
Okay, Jintou, we can go back. I can't wait to wait for the end of the wind and snow, and then usher in a new rebirth! Go!"
Accompanied by the neighing of horseshoes, under the leadership of Dutch, a group of people returned to the Plow Cutter Village.
And the young man Kieran was successfully captured by Arthur and David.
There is a gold bar in this snowy mountain, but Dutch is not going to take out these gold bars compared to 150,000 US dollars.
Compared to the gold bars, he had more important things to do.
Time passed quickly, and it was unimaginable for the Van der Linde gang not to rob the Cornwall train, because according to the past, Dutch would definitely carry out this hard-won robbery.
But in the past two weeks, he has been staying in his room every day, and no one knows what he is doing.
At present, only Arthur has taken a look, and the only one who really understands what Dutch is doing is Hosea.
"Oh, Dutch, I really didn't know you could do this kind of thing. I really can't imagine that with your gun-holding hand, you can actually draw these... These revealing clothes!"
Hosea stared at the drawings in Midachi's hand and the pile of drawings on the surrounding tables.
These papers were found from Marybeth. She likes to write novels, so it's right to borrow papers from her.
At this time, in Hosea's hands, those papers were painted with new styles of men's and women's clothing.
These styles are particularly beautiful and have never been seen before. Anyway, Hosea felt that some of these clothes were so revealing that he couldn't even look at them, but it was undeniable that these clothes were extremely eye-catching.
"Oh Midachi, are you trying to use these clothes to sell? Are we really going to leave the gang life and enter the civilian life?" Hosea couldn't believe it.
Really unbelievable.
As an old friend, an old buddy, he had already seen through Midachi's character. It was shocking enough that he didn't rob the train in Cornwall, but he didn't expect that he was even more shocked now, and even suspected that he had gone to heaven.
Otherwise, Dutch wouldn't have had such an idea!
In fact, not only Midachi likes this kind of robbery and happy life, but other men in the gang also like it, including Arthur.
Hosea left the gang when he was young, but later his lover died and he was still not used to it and came back. Arthur also said that he wanted a stable life, but if he really had to work on the farm every day, he would find it hard to accept. Even the most boring John couldn't accept it, let alone them.
These people have been robbing and killing since they were young, and have lived in gangs for half their lives. Stability is only a yearning in times of turmoil. If every robbery goes smoothly, they will not think about the so-called stability at all.
Just like thinking about going back to the past when the economy is bad.
It's just human nature.
So now Hosea feels shocked and difficult to accept, even to the extent that even he himself finds it difficult to accept.
"Midachi, I'm not pouring cold water on you. But can we really support this gang just by selling clothes? Or in other words, can we really settle down by selling clothes? Didn't you say you wanted to sell arms before? Why now?"
Midachi laughed, shook his head, stretched out his fingers, and laughed with a cigar between his fingers: "Oh, Hoho, Hosea, you think too simply. Selling clothes is just our ticket to enter civilized society. What really brings benefits is not clothes, but connections.
In fact, I was thinking about selling bootleg liquor before, but bootleg liquor is not suitable for our current low-key theme, and bootleg liquor can only bring benefits, not connections, so bootleg liquor is not suitable for our ultimate goal."
"Connections? How can selling clothes bring connections? Dutch." Hosea didn't understand, he really didn't understand. The so-called Van der Linde Gang's brain trust can only be found in the Van der Linde Gang.
