Chapter 256: A New Attempt (10)

"Report!" The young soldier shouted at the door of the tent.

Yuan Shikai casually glanced at it and realized that something was not quite right, and the Goryeo guards looked at the small group of people at the door with slightly strange expressions. What's so strange about the Koreans having seen too many Chinese soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Liberation Army? Yuan Shikai hurriedly got up and said, "Please come in!" ”

Five young soldiers rushed in. Yuan Shikai casually glanced at the epaulettes of these people, and he was a little apprehensive. They are all lieutenants, ensigns, lieutenants, and captains. Although Yuan Shikai is also the manager of more than 4,000 Goryeo, from the perspective of official position alone, he can probably only be compared with a battalion commander. During the war, it was possible for these lieutenants to command a battalion.

"Everyone said it early, and I will go to the gate to greet your comrades." Yuan Shikai said as he stepped forward to shake hands with everyone. When shaking hands with the second soldier, Yuan Shikai was stunned. He now understood somewhat why the guards at the door were surprised.

The young man had a high nose and deep eyes, and he wore a military cap, so he couldn't see the color of his hair. If the high nose and deep eyes still have some Chinese taste, the blue-gray eyes are far from the extremely deep dark brown eyes of traditional China. Looking at the young man's lieutenant rank, Yuan Shikai couldn't understand why a foreign devil suddenly appeared in the Guangfu Army. Looking at the very well-fitting and long-wearing uniform of the Liberation Army, Yuan Shikai had to believe that this young soldier was not brought here temporarily.

After everyone shook hands, Yuan Shikai invited everyone to sit down, and then said: "Everyone was sent by the army to pacify the local Americans, right?" ”

"We were ordered to do some screening of those who had surrendered with the whole village. The troops said that Captain Yuan would assist us. The captain said.

"I'll do my best to keep everyone safe. But how is an assistance method? Yuan Shikai tried to know his role more clearly.

"Several of us knew some foreign languages and were in charge of talking to the local people about the direct surrender. As long as they are not British, we will consider allowing them to continue living and farming in the same place. The captain replied.

"The British species?" Yuan Shikai didn't particularly understand.

"Europeans seem to us to be more or less the same, in fact divided into many countries. Ethnically, there are mainly Anglo-Saxons, that is, the British, French, Germanic, Irish, and some other races. For the Anglo-Saxons, it must be cleared. The French species must also be closely guarded, but the Germanic and Irish species, if they are willing to join China, they will farm honestly. We want to be able to come to an agreement with them. The captain explained the attitude of the troops.

Yuan Shikai blinked his eyes a few times, and he asked with a confused expression: "Want to recruit An Yang devil?" Yuan Shikai always felt that he couldn't read less, and after listening to the captain's words, he felt that he didn't read enough. In the eyes of most young Chinese, foreign devils are foreign devils, and there are so many differences. What's more, there are not so many ways to deal with foreign devils, at least Yuan Shikai thinks that the best way is to beat the foreign devils first and let them know how powerful China is. After these foreign devils are beaten honestly, they can order these people to be obedient.

After hearing this, the captain waved his hand again and again, "This is not Zhao'an. Captain Yuan, the political commissar of the army made it clear that the target of Zhao'an was bandits and robbers who killed people and set fires, and our Guangfu Army would never let go of bandits and robbers. We must eradicate the bad elements. You should know best that those who resisted along the way were wiped out by us. The forces will not allow these people to continue to exist. But there were also many people who surrendered directly along the way, and if they insisted on serving the reactionary government of the United States, we would send them away. Why should we hurt those who come to North America just to find a place to live and live on farming? ”

"Uh......" Yuan Shikai's eyes widened, if these words came out of someone else's mouth, Yuan Shikai would definitely not be so surprised. The Liberation Army, which had defeated all the enemies like a devastating one, actually said such a thing, and Yuan Shikai only felt that his worldview had been completely subverted. Where are these words spoken by the invincible soldiers, these are simply the words of the government that convinces the people with virtue.

After being silent for a while, Yuan Shikai said tentatively: "What does the army mean, ask these foreign devils if they want to be Chinese?" ”

Without waiting for the captain to speak, the lieutenant with blue-gray eyes said in fluent Guangxi Mandarin: "My mother is a Spaniard, if it is Captain Yuan's meaning, will China have to kill these women after recovering Luzon?" ”

Yuan Shikai could hear that the lieutenant was very unhappy by Yuan Shikai's words. Moreover, Yuan Shikai was young, and he did not know what China did after conquering Luzon. After listening to the lieutenant's unhappy speech, Yuan Shikai also understood in his heart that if the Liberation Army really killed the Spaniards in Luzon at that time, the lieutenant would not have a chance to appear here alive.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shikai did not dare to question the question of whether to accept the Americans into China, and he expressed his worries, "This comrade, I do not want to oppose the opinion of the troops. I just have a question, the Yankees all have guns, if we let them go, these Yankees attack us from behind, how should we deal with it? ”

"The purpose of having guns is more for self-preservation, and if anyone attacks our troops, attacking our personnel, of course, the troops cannot let go. But the meaning of the troops is clear. Let's not follow the example of the white colonizers who engaged in massacres, and for those who are just trying to survive, we still have to give a way out of policy. The lieutenant with blue-gray eyes spoke in a very serious tone about the orders of the troops.

Yuan Shikai no longer argued, he said briskly: "The army has an order, and I will definitely fully cooperate with the work of the army." What exactly do you want me to do? ”

"We have to contact these locals first, and ask Captain Yuan to send some troops with us." The captain replied.

"I'll arrange it right away." Yuan Shikai started to do this without saying a word.

The 100 most elite Goryeo police teams were dispatched to follow the soldiers to "contact" with the locals in the United States, and Wang Shizhen was specially asked to lead the team. Seeing the Goryeo policemen getting on the truck with great curiosity and even some trepidation, Yuan Shikai muttered in his heart, these Goryeo people who have never seen the world should not make jokes and be underestimated. However, with Wang Shizhen leading the team, Yuan Shikai is more assured.

The motorcycles opened the road, the trucks followed, and the brigade was gone. Yuan Shikai repeated the name Wei Jianjun in his heart, Wei Jianjun was the name of the lieutenant with blue-gray eyes. Even if the Republic of China did not have a so-called national surname, there was no name. The small surname Wei also has a very honorable status in the hearts of the Chinese people, and it really feels strange for a mixed-race child to have such a surname.

Lieutenant Wei Jianjun's unhappy speech did not make Yuan Shikai feel dissatisfied, it was not that Yuan Shikai was afraid of a lieutenant, after all, it touched the lieutenant's mother, if Yuan Shikai encountered this kind of thing, he would definitely not be happy. And the lieutenant is quite beautiful, which makes people feel good at first glance. "If this lieutenant has a sister...... Yuan Shikai, who is nearly 30 years old and has not yet married, came up with such an idea.

Back inside the tent, Yuan Shikai wanted to continue to prepare for the work of applying for weapons and equipment, but in a flash of inspiration, he came up with another thing. Yuan Shikai regretted letting Wang Shizhen accompany the officers when he arrived, if Wang Shizhen was there, Yuan Shikai would have someone to discuss. Holding back his excitement and sorting out his thoughts a few times, Yuan Shikai temporarily put down the work in his hand and took out a blank piece of paper to write.

A week later, on February 9, Weeser received several telegrams from North America. The theater has a very high right to make decisions, and Weeser has no hobby of interfering in everything, so he naturally lets the North American Military Region implement the policy in accordance with it. Only big things will be sent to Weese's desk.

One of these telegrams caught Weeser's attention, and the North American side suggested leasing 200,000 Koreans to North America to serve as laborers. With the addition of motorized infantry, the war went much smoother than expected. If it is in China, it is not unusual to fight thousands of kilometers in more than two months, but the West Coast of the United States is a complete enemy territory for the Chinese. After fighting at home, defeating the local reactionary government and annihilating the reactionary army, the Guangfu Army can naturally communicate with the masses of the people, who are also Chinese, very easily. The western United States does not have such conditions, and the troops have made up for basic English, but knowing basic English does not mean that they can travel unhindered in the western United States. Spanish, German, French, and many of the people living on the West Coast of the United States speak these languages.

As the war went well, the next step was to build infrastructure on the West Coast of the United States. It is naturally planned to bring the existing local railways under Chinese management, and it is also important to build roads through the west, and even build a road network along the west coast of the United States.

If you want to fully utilize the power of motorized infantry, good transportation is the most important thing. Building roads requires a lot of labor, and China has a shortage of manpower, so it has to consider using other sources of labor. Goryeo, with a population of 10 million, was naturally considered.

After Wei Ze approved the word "agree," the General Office of the CPC Central Committee forwarded the document to the relevant departments. Goryeo is a vassal state of China, and relations between China and Goryeo are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Therefore, Li Hongzhang soon received a telegram from the State Council, asking him to be responsible for discussing the matter with the Goryeo royal court.

But it's my turn! Li Hongzhang straightened his gray beard, looking calm on the surface, but in fact, a huge wave of ambition had been set off in his heart. The matter of 200,000 people is an absolute problem in any era. And this population accounts for nearly 2% of the population of Goryeo. It's a big deal for Goryeo.

After thinking for a moment, Li Hongzhang ordered the secretary: "Check again, how much grain does Goryeo still have this year?" ”
