Chapter 349: Chocolate Bigger Than Soap

Moscow's phone call did not have the slightest impact on the war situation, but made the boss and others see through the weak nature of Lao Maozi, if the red empire in its heyday, one hand pressed Europe, the other hand teased the flower planters, and could stretch out their feet to kick the US imperialism still has the power to spare. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Now Lao Maozi's embassy is surrounded by the Chinese army, and it is really surprising that he just asked an old man who was half cut into the ground to make a phone call and threaten two sentences. Even President Ronald Reagan was a little skeptical that the call came from the Kremlin, which was a far cry from the aggressive Soviet Union whose influence had been on the international stage.

In fact, when the top of the Red Empire pushed an old man who had to be helped to walk and spent most of his time lying on a hospital bed to the throne of the supreme leader, and let this kind of person who had no leadership ability to lead a country, one can imagine the extent to which the group of bureaucrats entrenched in the top echelons of the CPSU had become corrupted.

Even the launch of the South Asian War is the last struggle of the remaining elite within the CPSU in order to fight against this group of maggots parasitic inside the Red Empire, once the war is lost, the elites will completely lose power, their rights will be replaced by maggots, and the Red Empire will be unable to prevent the sinking.

Of course, before the Red Empire completely fell, no one dared to guarantee that the country would be doomed, and even Chen Xu did not dare to judge himself. Perhaps a change in historical conditions will allow this empire to continue to survive, and the history of the world will be different as a result.

The imperial capital did not give any orders to the front line because of Moscow's phone call, so the tank group was still advancing towards Hanoi in an orderly manner, and the 200-kilometer journey was quickly halfway through!

Hanoi, Chen Xu stared blankly at the raging fire in the bank building not far away, the flames sprayed out of the window and licked the sky, billowing black smoke mixed with highly toxic construction smoke continued to climb into the sky, and then spread to the surrounding air like a canopy, and a thick scorching smell could be smelled from afar.

"We should burn a few more buildings like this, with a mixture of flames and explosions, black smoke and death, so that there is an atmosphere of war! It's a pity that there is no BGM, if there is a little leg shaking music at this time, this atmosphere is absolutely explosive! ”

Chen Xu shook his head regretfully, and after sending commandos to surround the Soviet Embassy, he had nothing to do at all, mainly because there was no one around him. He brought a total of 100 commandos, most of whom were used to monitor the Soviet embassy, and the rest had to take care of the embassies of other countries, and in the end there were only three members of the team left around him, plus he was only four people, it was very dangerous in this kind of city full of chaotic soldiers, and he could only stay in the embassy area and not go anywhere, so he could only find a place to sit and watch the fierce battles in the city in a daze.

"Vietnamese monkeys are very poor, and there are only a few high-rise buildings in the capital of Hanoi, and the boss has nowhere to start if you want to burn them." Standing behind Chen Xu, he was chewing on a pack of dark chocolate the size of carved brand soap, and his mouth was black.

Chen Xu saw that he had eaten this kind of sweet and greasy chocolate very deliciously, and couldn't help but sigh that after the logistics system of our army and the US army was docked, he was really a local tyrant. You can eat the best chocolate on the battlefield, but I think we could only eat fried rice back then!

Because all the materials for the surprise attack on Hanoi were all airlifted, limited by the load of the aircraft, the counterweight on the soldiers was strictly calculated, even accurate to the gram level.

If you want to bring a little more bullets, you can't bring field rations, like the self-heating field rations developed by the Southern Heavy Industry Group The counterweight is too large. Naturally, it is not heavy for each soldier to carry a bag of self-heating rations, but the total weight of so many people in the Airborne Forces carrying this kind of food is very terrifying, and it will take up the capacity of two Galaxy transport planes.

And in the city street fighting, battles can break out at any time, and there is no time for you to find a place to sit and eat hot meals with chopsticks!

In the end, based on the experience of World War II, the Pentagon felt that this war would only last for one day at most, and as long as it could ensure that the physical fitness of the soldiers did not decline, there would not be much of a problem, so high-calorie concentrated chocolate became the best option.

So the Pentagon asked the Cadbury Candy Factory, Britain's largest chocolate producer, to urgently process and manufacture a batch of concentrated chocolate, and then airlifted it to China to give the soldiers who raided Hanoi two packs per person, and when they were hungry during the war, they could eat one pack to replenish their body's energy.

Because the war in Vietnam was so urgent, Cadbury didn't even have time to adjust the taste of the chocolate after receiving the task, so it was directly poured into a chocolate brick larger than soap with ready-made ingredients, wrapped in a thin layer of food paper, and shipped.

In World War II, the United States and the United States also distributed chocolate to the front-line troops as field rations, but because the chocolate tasted so good, it was often eaten as a snack by the soldiers, and when the war was urgent, they could not eat it. Therefore, the logistics department of the U.S. military added a little condiment to the chocolate to make the chocolate unpalatable, and the soldiers generally did not touch it until they were hungry.

The chocolate made by the Cadbury confectionery factory is for children, and the taste is naturally very delicious. And these Chinese soldiers grew up in the poorest period of the country, and from childhood to adulthood, let alone chocolate, even rock candy was rarely eaten.

So there is no doubt that these chocolates, which were distributed as emergency field rations, were all eaten as snacks by the paratroopers and commandos.

Many soldiers have seen chocolate for the first time in their lives, and at first they just had the idea of tasting it, but after taking a bite, they couldn't stop.

"Boss, you still have two pieces of chocolate, don't you want to eat them?" After licking his lips cleanly, and even licking the wrapping paper of the chocolate, he suddenly saw the chocolates in the small bags on both sides of the tactical backpack behind Chen Xu, and asked with some greed.

"You've eaten it all? These two chocolates are our rations for the whole day, and we'll see what you do when you're hungry later! Chen Xu glanced at the three commandos beside him and asked.

"The two of them ate it on the helicopter!" Raise a good smile and grin complained.

"Take it all! This is for you to replenish your physical strength, not for you to eat and play. Chen Xu took out the two pieces of chocolate in his backpack and let the three of them share it, he doesn't like this kind of sweet and greasy thing, this thing is super high in calories, and eating a piece can make you gain three pounds, which is a nightmare for many people who lose weight!

This is the embassy area, if you are hungry later, Chen Xu can go to the French embassy for a meal, just now when the French embassy was searched, the French ambassador invited Chen Xu to hold a banquet with him in the evening, and the ambassador's wife looked at Chen Xu with anticipation, so that there was no way to refuse.

The French romance really knows no time and place, even in the world of bullets, they still have to make a table of French dinner to entertain guests.

Of course, there must be a political purpose behind this kind of hospitality, and if the French want to make a heavy bet in the South Asian war to grab war dividends, they must investigate before taking out the money. According to the information collected by the French intelligence department over the years, Chen Xu is definitely the youngest and most dominant hawkish official of the flower planter, and after the Soviet Union showed signs of invading the Indian Peninsula, he was the most determined main battle faction.

However, Chen Xu has a huge influence in the Chinese army, and his opinions can directly influence the thoughts of several military bigwigs in the imperial capital, so Chen Xu has a share of the credit for China's ability to send troops to India.

Naturally, the French ambassador in Hanoi received a top-secret order from the presidential palace before the war, asking the embassy to prepare ingredients in advance, and urgently sent a three-star Michelin chef as an assistant.

The embassy in Hanoi did not know the real reason for preparing these ingredients, because this war was a top-secret operation, and the French president would not be stupid enough to divulge such military secrets. The embassy in Hanoi, which was kept in the dark, thought that there was an important person in France who wanted to visit Vietnam secretly, so it naturally understood that everything was prepared in advance.

When the war suddenly came this morning, the French ambassador learned from the mouth of a military attache who escorted a Michelin chef to Hanoi that the embassy must take the opportunity to invite the supreme commander of the Chinese army to a meal after the outbreak of war, and then learn about the specific investment of the Chinese military in the South Asian war, at least to investigate how much China is willing to pay for this battlefield, so that the French top brass can finally decide how much material and money to pay for this war.

This shocking news caught the French ambassador a little off guard, and if he asked him to invite someone to come over in such a hurry, he was afraid that he would be killed by the rebels when he left the embassy area.

And Chen Xu happened to send himself to the door at this time, the French ambassador knew Chen Xu, knew that this product was a big fish, and inviting him was the same concept as inviting China's top leader. So immediately let the beautiful ambassador's wife come forward and invite Chen Xu to come to the French Embassy to attend the dinner in the evening, and even had a bit of a stalking.

Chen Xu thought that when it was night, the whole Hanoi would definitely be in chaos, and the troops would be busy cleaning up the remnants of the Vietnamese army in the city all night and driving away those citizens who refused to leave, and there would be no time to find a place to eat at that time.

Since the French are willing to treat them, of course Chen Xu is happy, the French have brought all the Michelin chefs over, and the quality of the dinner is definitely not low, and when the time comes, maybe you can let Dad and the commander of the Banzai Army come over together, and you have to eat if you want to eat!

After Chen Xu was stationed in the Ba Ting embassy area, he might have to stay here for the next few days, so he simply discussed with the French ambassador, and he might have to stay at the French embassy in the next few days.

Of course, Mr. Ambassador was happy, and promised at that time that he would definitely prepare the room, and then go over to sleep, so as to ensure that Chen Xu was as comfortable as at home.

Fighting and sleeping in a warm quilt, Chen Xu felt that he was really here for a vacation this time, and he didn't encounter a fierce battle from beginning to end, this war was really boring!

"Report Chief! The brothers patrolling the Eastern Side have noticed something important and are asking you to come over. A commando ran over panting and shouted at Chen Xu, who was watching the gunship flying in the sky with his hands behind his back in a daze.

"Take me to see it!"

Chen Xu immediately came back to his senses and decisively let this team member lead the way in front. (To be continued.) )
