Volume VIII 1316 Yellow and White Things are fascinating

Next chapter

When human beings start the greedy mode, any language enlightenment is useless, and the greater the profit in their eyes, the stronger the greedy attachment.

So much gold, silver, jewelry, and cultural relics were exchanged for a night of bloody battles by the Russian army, although there was no detailed statistics, but at least 3,000 people were killed in the bloody battle last night.

Three thousand people, the corpses on the ground can not see the end, so many lives in exchange for wealth can now be lost? This knot is not something that ordinary people can unravel.

"General, commander...... You don't know how difficult the empire's finances are, and if these gold and silver are sent back to Europe, you know better than us how much problems they can help your majesty solve, can this be lost?"

"Even if we don't consider the overall situation, we can't throw away the gold and silver for these desperate soldiers! We must give a compensatory to the dead and wounded soldiers! Don't we ......let them die in vain?"

The soldiers around him were moved, and the guards and soldiers who were loyal to Vinya and Exon also showed complicated expressions, people are poor and short-sighted, you can let them die with a large number of serf-born soldiers, but you can't wash away their greed for money.

"That's enough, don't you understand what's going on now? This is clearly Xiao Letian's trap, and he used this gold as bait to trap our expeditionary force all on this island!" Exxon roared angrily.

"In the vast sea, if our fleet is exhausted, those Chinese don't need to attack, they can starve us to death just by starving! Now while the enemy has not been completely surrounded, hurry up and rush out, at least out of this strait......

Venya also put down the general's shelf, and he sent the group of officers to kneel, and he pleaded bitterly, "I understand your feelings, and I know the importance of this gold, but no amount of precious gold can compare to the lives of soldiers!"

"We have already shipped out more than 3 tons of gold, which is already a lot! This gold is enough for us to care for the wounded soldiers, and if we have to take the rest of the gold and silver, we must at least toss it until 12 noon, do you think these Chinese will give us time? Sober up......

Vinya did not choose to use their rank and status to suppress these officers, because they had already keenly felt that the feelings of these people were very unstable, and if they were given too much pressure and grievances at the moment, there was a high possibility of mutiny.

The bitter pleas of Vinya and Ackerson eased the atmosphere a little, and these middle and high-level officers struggled for a long time, and finally exchanged words and talked for a long time.

"Okay, we only have one request! Open the vault and let the soldiers carry gold and silver according to their own bodies! This is the final condition, I can tell you very clearly, you have to agree today, and if you don't agree, you have to agree......

The noses of Exxon and Vinya, who were full of gunpowder, were crooked, but the pleading of the officers behind them made them sigh helplessly.

"General, commander...... It's not that we're embarrassed for you, it's not that we don't understand the reason, but if you look at the angry expressions of the soldiers all over the mountains, do you say that they will agree to retreat in vain? Will they promise to die so many people in vain and then return empty-handed?"

"We can't do the work of the 20,000 troops one by one, and we can't explain the truth one by one, to put it bluntly, we can't even convince all the company platoon commanders, let alone the soldiers......"

"If you press down according to your military orders, your morale will collapse even more, and there will even be a mutiny...... When the time comes, it will not be a matter of you letting you take away the gold and silver, but robbing!"

Eksen and Vinya were speechless when they said this, last night's stealing and robbery has proved that what they said is not wrong, if they really force the soldiers to give up Baoshan, then the result is 100% this end.

"Okay, just do as you say, but time is pressing, tell the soldiers that each person only has one time to enter the treasury, and they must do what they can......"

Before Venya could finish speaking, suddenly there was a roaring explosion on the west side of the island, and the battlefield was in an uproar. Exxon picked up the binoculars and took a closer look: "It's broken, it's Lu Ma Island! We missed a fort!"

The Fort of Gaoboshan opened fire! This was a concealed battery on the closest west side of Luma Island, and the sacrifice of the other batteries yesterday had brought him safety, and at this moment, when the order for the general attack was given, the defenders of the fort immediately entered the battle.

"Fire...... Hit me hard!Target enemy supply ships and troop carriers...... Leave those warships alone! Bomb the enemy's supply ships!"

The defenders, who had been holding back their anger for a day and a night, poured all their anger on the ships in the strait, and the high bowl mountain was more than 200 meters above sea level, and it was a professional shore fire cannon that condescendingly used it, and this fire was accurate and fierce.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The fleet in the strait suddenly became a mess, the supply ships rose in clouds of smoke and fire, the supply ships that had been blown through the deck saw tons of coal falling into the sea, and the air waves and shock waves rolled up the bodies of the sailors and smashed directly on the sea.

When the cannon rang out, Stefansky felt a chill in the back of his neck, and a cold air rushed up from his back waist: "It's broken! The enemy has copied the back road...... Glacier, Tundra, Deer Hunter...... Counterattack to suppress the enemy's battery!"

"All the supply ships are rushing out of the strait, and the troop carriers are assembling at Seto Inner Harbor to pick up our soldiers, ah......" The commander's voice brought out a cry in the roar.

"Commander-in-Chief...... The Hemansky fleet in the east has retreated! Chinese have landed in the east, and the number is unknown, very large......"

Stefansky's eyes darkened, and his body suddenly flickered, and he almost fell to the ground: "Idiot! Is his battleship a sampan? Why did he retreat? Why didn't he take the initiative? Retreat into the strait and wait for someone to make dumplings?"

"Commander...... It's not that General Hemansky didn't take the initiative to attack! It was that he couldn't get out, and the Chinese mobilized more than 2,000 small boats to block the strait with countless sand and gravel!"

"Ah......h

"Commander!" the officer next to him rushed up and hurriedly hugged the commander.

"Quick...... Let Vinya and Exxon retreat immediately, as fast as you can...... It's too late, it's too late......"

Stefansky is completely desperate, Xiao Lotian can send people to block the exit of the strait with sand and cement blocks, this kind of evil trick can be used, which shows that the Chinese army has completely controlled this battlefield, and the Russian army is a fish and meat to be slaughtered on this island.
