Chapter 788: Compromise and Hindrance
Unlike the other two, Li Cunhai had already complained about Xinghua Group before this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
From what he himself learned, Li Cunhai came to a direct impression of the Xinghua Group -- the Xinghua Group's style of acting is actually not the right way, and it can even be said to be barbaric.
For example, the memory loss incident of the Chinese artillery.
Every time he thinks about this, Li Cunhai can't suppress the anger surging in his heart.
At the beginning, although the Huaguo Intelligence Bureau did want to keep a behind, it secretly selected some Huaguo artillery and implanted trackers and recording devices in their bodies, of course, this was carried out without informing the Xinghua Group.
It's just that this is also because, all the performances of Xinghua Group have always been very mysterious, and they have been hiding more and more from them, which has led to the Huaguo Intelligence Bureau having to find another way.
In Li Cunhai's view, even if the Chinese Intelligence Bureau secretly installed the listening equipment and did not tell the Xinghua Group the truth, he did not think that there was much wrong, but it was just a different position.
In fact, a more important reason why Li Cunhai did not see how inappropriate the Chinese Intelligence Bureau's approach was at all was that Li Cunhai was aware of the implantation of trackers and recording devices from the very beginning.
This is because it is impossible to implant listening devices in the artillery units by relying solely on the strength of the Chinese Intelligence Bureau, because after all, the Chinese artillery does not act under the orders of the Chinese Intelligence Bureau, so they also need the cooperation of the senior officers of the Southwest Military Region.
And Li Cunhai is a high-ranking officer of the Southwest Military Region. It is precisely because of the factor of power that Li Cunhai was able to learn about these "small actions" made by the Huaguo Intelligence Bureau behind his back.
In fact, Li Cunhai thought that the Xinghua Group would attack the Chinese artillery because it had already seen through the bureau set up by the Huaguo Intelligence Bureau and discovered that the Huaguo artillery had been implanted with trackers and recording equipment.
However, Li Cunhai firmly believes that even if the Xinghua Group sees through the truth, their handling of this matter is very unreasonable.
Li Cunhai felt that if the Xinghua Group really found out those "special artillerymen" who had been implanted with trackers and recording equipment among the 200 Chinese artillerymen, then the focus of the Xinghua Group should be on these "special artillerymen."
Even if, in order to find out the truth, the Xinghua Group interrogated these "special artillerymen" individually, and even used extreme means such as extorting confessions by torture and military execution, Li Cunhai would not find it strange, let alone condemn the Xinghua Group too much because of this.
However, facts have proved that the Xinghua clique's methods are quite barbaric -- they would rather "kill innocent people indiscriminately" than "misplace one," and in the end, I don't know what means they used, so that the entire Chinese artillery contingent, a total of 200 artillery officers and men, all collectively lost their memories for a month for no reason! The Xinghua clique has already inflicted irreparable damage on the innocent Chinese artillery!
What kind of concept is this! All the Chinese artillerymen who went to assist the Xinghua Group were deprived of all their memories of this period of time, and everything they saw and heard in the Xinghua Group disappeared!
If all the relevant memories are gone, then what is the possibility of the Huaguo Intelligence Bureau to force the Xinghua Group to reveal its true face under the veil of mystery? In that case, it will only mean that all the secrets of the Xinghua Group will continue to be impossible to investigate.
From that point of view, that's not a trivial matter.
Therefore, Li Cunhai showed an extremely angry attitude towards this "fact" that he believed. He believes that he must come over and personally ask Yi Xingchen, the leader of Xinghua Group, for a fair explanation.
At the very least, Li Cunhai is convinced that the damage caused to the Chinese artillery is not something that the Xinghua Group can compensate for simply giving tens of thousands of yuan.
However, Li Cunhai only stayed in the shame of his own imagination, and in fact, Li Cunhai did not even suggest that the Chinese Intelligence Bureau first investigate the real reason why the Xinghua Group had lost the memories of all the artillerymen, and he had already spontaneously determined that this was the case.
Therefore, Li Cunhai actually did not know that the reason why the Xinghua Group did this was not because he had already noticed that some listening instruments had been implanted in the bodies of those "special artillerymen", but because of a more cruel fact -- no matter whether or not any of these Chinese artillerymen had hidden listening instruments in their bodies, they were already doomed from the moment they entered the Xinghua Group, and from the moment they left the Xinghua Group, they would not have the memory of this period of time.
However, Li Cunhai's idea is obviously too naΓ―ve, and Yan En absolutely disagrees.
From the very beginning, Schmidt was the one who spent the money, and although they were more assertive and barbaric and unreasonable, Schmidt thought that they had been able to keep secrets and even send people back, which was merciful enough.
It's just that in addition to Li Cunhai, his companion Wang Jiawei has a different view from Li Cunhai.
In Wang Jiawei's view, these 200 Chinese artillerymen have been fulfilling and shouldering their true mission -- to serve the country -- since they were sent to the Xinghua Group from the very beginning, and as soldiers, once they go to the "battlefield," no matter what form of battlefield, they should be ready to sacrifice their lives for the country. On the basis of this cognition, Wang Jiawei believes that even sacrificing for the country is a matter of course, so they are just losing some memories at the moment, which is really not a big deal.
In addition, Wang Jiawei believes that the development of Huaguo needs the Xinghua Group, and that Huaguo should strive for all the opportunities it can to establish and maintain good relations with the Xinghua Group, and that it is not appropriate for Huaguo to have a stiff relationship with the Xinghua Group, and no matter what kind of contradictions exist between the two sides in the future, they should not lose their big problems because of small things.
Because, right now, on Blue Mercury, almost all countries agree on the fact that Schmidt Group represents the future scientific and technological revolution.
"Our soldiers, after all, have done things for you. Nowadays, they have lost their memories, which is irreparable trauma, and I hope your company can compensate for more. β
Wang Jiawei and Yan En discussed the arms trade, and Liang Bisheng saw that Li Cunhai was becoming more and more impatient, so he finally found an opportunity to interject and hurriedly expressed the embassy's opinion. This is also the plan they discussed before coming to Xinghua's production base. Li Cunhai can make a fuss, but he can't go too far, and a certain amount of economic compensation is acceptable. Of course, Li Cunhai hopes that Xinghua Group will admit its mistakes. Wang Jiawei let Li Cunhai make trouble at the beginning, but also because the Xinghua Group admitted its mistakes, and the Chinese side could strive for more interests in some aspects.
"Although they lost their memories of things, we don't know anything. But they did contribute a lot to our Schmidt Group, and I would like to compensate us on behalf of Schmidt. If the amount of compensation is not large, I can call the shots alone. If the amount of compensation is too large, Schmidt Group will not agree. Yan En smiled.
"Okay, we can negotiate the specific amount......" Liang Bisheng nodded.
Yi Xingchen stood on the wall of Jianguan again, looking at the gap in the city wall, the soldiers of the Xinghua Army were driving away the prisoners of the Xia Army and repairing the city wall.
The entire sword level is gradually recovering and becoming more solid. Behind Yi Xingchen, it was Xinghua soldiers who were carrying munitions.
Wei Changhai's troops attacked Jiangzhou, and there was no way to solve the logistical problem by relying on Yunzhou alone. At the very least, Yunzhou does not produce bullets and mortar shells, which are produced by military factories in the Xinghua Primary Industrial Zone.
In order to support Wei Changhai's department, on the one hand, Yi Xingchen had to pass through the space passage and order the workers of the military factory to directly carry weapons and ammunition to Jianguan and fill the arsenal at Jianguan. On the other hand, it is to restore the transportation line between Xinghua City and Yunzhou Shucheng, continue to clear the enemy in Yunzhou, and ensure the safety of transportation.
Yi Xingchen hoped that Wei Changhai could be more stable, defeat the Xia army, and stabilize the situation in Jiangzhou.
However, many things do not change for the better because of a person's thoughts.
At this time, a Xinghua staff officer in the Jianguan Headquarters hurriedly ran over and reported to Yi Xingchen the latest battle report of Wei Changhai's attack on Jiangzhou.
"Your Majesty, the Xinghua Army led by General Wei Changhai was ambushed by the Xia Army cavalry in Hengshan, a hundred miles away. β
Yi Xingchen was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Is the situation serious?"
"Although Wei Changhai's department really wanted to exterminate the Xia army cavalry, the Xia army's cavalry had strong machine power, and it was unable to solve them, resulting in little progress in the Xinghua army. The staff officer said.
Yi Xingchen was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Since the progress is not going well, why should he continue to attack? Immediately pass on my instructions, Wei Changhai can't solve the problem in one day, and immediately return to Huguan to station." β
Yi Xingchen was worried that Wei Changhai's department would be severely damaged and lose the advantage of the war.
Therefore, Yi Xingchen gave the order to retreat. Of course, Yi Xingchen still gave Wei Changhai a chance to solve the problem within the specified time.
Yi Xingchen's order, through the telegraph, was quickly conveyed to Wei Changhai in Jiangzhou.
At the foot of Hengshan Mountain, the Xinghua army repelled another wave of Xia army attacks.
Many Xinghua soldiers were both physically tired and mentally tired.
Wei Changhai found that the soldier's performance was not as full of energy as the previous day or two, and he also guessed the problem. The reason is that the soldiers have been fighting for many days in a row. Many elite soldiers were originally the defenders of Sword Pass, and they fought defensive counterattacks and never rested. As the saying goes, go forward bravely. Once the battle is unfavorable, the mental and physical weaknesses of the soldiers will be exposed.
It's a pity that Wei Changhai rode a tiger this time, and his troops were dragged by the Xia army's cavalry. He wanted to bring the troops back to Huguan in their entirety, which was a little difficult.
Wei Changhai's troops had to camp at the foot of Hengshan Mountain.
Now, Wei Changhai is sitting in a tent, studying the map and pondering the next move of the troops.
At this time, the communication soldiers of the army sent Yi Xingchen's telegram, Wei Changhai took the telegram, and sighed after reading it. This time, there was no need for him to make a decision, the emperor had already intervened and ordered him to return to Huguan to consolidate the results. In fact, the empire's occupation of Huguan has already opened the gateway to Jiangzhou in the Xia Kingdom.
"All the middle and senior officers gather for a meeting!" Wei Changhai quickly gave an order.
The communications soldier summoned the middle and senior officers through the walkie-talkie, within ten minutes.
Wei Changhai announced the emperor's will, and the officers had no opinion. In fact, everyone has seen the predicament encountered by the Xinghua Army. At this time, if the Xinghua army does not retreat, it is really likely to lose its earlier advantage.
In less than five minutes, all the officers collectively reached an agreement to temporarily withdraw from the Huguan in accordance with the emperor's will. The plan to attack Jiangzhou was put on hold for the time being, and preparations were more adequate to attack next time.
Wei Changhai made a decision and immediately ordered the dispatcher to send a telegram to Jianguan to report on the situation of the troops and the next move.
Yi Xingchen received a telegram and ordered the Xinghua Army, which was left behind at Jianguan, to dispatch a small force of several hundred people to meet Wei Changhai's troops.
Wei Changhai's movement of demolishing the camp and preparing to leave the camp alarmed the scouts of the Xia army. The Xia army scouted and immediately reported to the marshal of the Xia army, Bai Qi.
Bai Qi strictly ordered the Xia army scouts to closely monitor, and the cavalry army continued to attack and harass the Xinghua army, and must not let the Xinghua army penetrate deep into the hinterland of Jiangzhou. In short, the Xinghua army must not be allowed to capture Jiangzhou smoothly. The Xia army lost Huguan, and if they lost any big city in Jiangzhou, the emperor of Xia would probably not let them go. It was a matter of life and death, and Bai Qi and other generals of the Xia Army had to work hard.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, and we must not let the Xinghua Army gain a firm foothold in Jiangzhou. We must take advantage of our superiority and carry out constant attack tactics against the Xinghua army. At the same time, in the northern and northeastern parts of Huguan, the strategy of clearing the wilderness was implemented. In addition to leaving the necessary rations for the people, we must not leave one more to give the Xinghua army sufficient military rations. Before he knew the specific actions of the Xinghua Army, Bai Qi determined the brutal strategy of the strong wall and Qingye.
Clearing the wilderness is a strategy that hurts both the enemy and oneself. If it weren't for the last resort, Bai Qi wouldn't want to use this method. However, the Xia army lost the Huguan Pass, and there was no dangerous checkpoint in Jiangzhou to intercept the Yunzhou Xinghua Army. Therefore, Bai Qi wanted to create an isolated area in the Jiangzhou area around Huguan as a battlefield.
In this battlefield, the cavalry advantage of the Xia army will expand, and the advantage of the Xinghua army's infantry army will decrease. What's more, it's not that Xia Jun doesn't have long-range weapons, it's just that there aren't many of them.
In this big defeat, Bai Qi has decided to suggest to the imperial court to vigorously develop armaments and manufacture weapons such as Shenwu cannons and crystal energy guns. Even if these weapons can't be equipped into an army, Bai Qi can also make more bows and thunderbolts in the imperial court......
Bai Qi's words, the generals did not dare to object.
The generals of the Xia army had no objections, and the soldiers of the Xia army naturally did not have any objections.
Subsequently, the infantry of the Xia army began to clear the wilderness, driving the people to move north or east to collect grain; those who did not want to move were forcibly requisitioned grain, leaving only the people with half a month's mouth. Any Xia people who obstruct the clear wilderness of the fortified walls will be dealt with by military law. (To be continued.) )
