Chapter 334: Diamond War (3)
In order to push the atmosphere of this war to * and make all forces believe in the precious status of diamonds, under the signal of Zhu Youxiao, Sun Yuzhi began to ask Ming merchants to buy diamonds kept in the hands of indigenous people at a high price. Not only from the Ndaru tribe, but also from the Kingdom of Kongo and the Talon Empire, and even from European explorers, the price offered was twice as high as that of the Kingdom of England.
The crazy price of diamonds made everyone start to go even more crazy, and the greedy officers, including the army, also joined the frenzy of searching for diamonds, and even did not hesitate to fire each other, and planted spies in each other's expeditions and mining teams, the situation became more and more chaotic, and the Nordic coalition forces in England began to have infighting.
In order to ensure that there were enough places to find diamonds, or to ensure the stability of the coalition forces, the army commander of the Kingdom of England had to issue a rule that whoever occupied the place would benefit, and no one else should cross the line. In this case, the original monolith of the Nordic coalition gradually turned into fragments, each working in a desperate search for diamonds on its own territory, in an attempt to get rich overnight.
Ndaru was very happy that his power was expanding day by day, and he also understood that his own ability was simply not enough to have such a huge force, except for arranging some tribal affairs, Ndaru stayed with Sun Yuzhi, he was afraid that Sun Yuzhi would one day ignore him, let him become a poor bastard again, and even the command of the army was completely handed over to Zhu Kezhen, in short, he was a nominal king.
Sun Yuzhi didn't dare to disobey Zhu Youxiao's intentions, and was very helpless to see Ndaru and the appearance of the fart, in order to cultivate his ability to lead the country, he taught him his knowledge and the concept of Ming national governance, and also let him build a school by himself, which is like the official school of the Ming Dynasty, specially for the future of the country to train administrators. After all, Sun Yuzhi can't help him walk all the time, even if he cultivates a thug, he must let him have the ability to do it himself.
Sun Yuzhi's efforts soon paid off, and Ndaru assiduously studied these things that were completely different from the previous ones, and in addition to fighting wars, there was also the idea of governing the country. Sun Yuzhi clearly explained his point of view to him, after governing the country, he will completely rely on himself, and the security of Ming Island will depend on the protection of the country of Endaru, after all, there are very few native immigrants in the Ming Dynasty here, and it is impossible to come over more people, and it is necessary to rely on the indigenous people here to be stronger.
Zhu Kezhen's special forces were dispatched again, but this time it was different from the last time, they were no longer fighting directly by themselves, but leading a team of local soldiers to move every three people. The division of labor of the three is clear, one is responsible for intelligence work, one is responsible for directing soldier assault operations, and the other is responsible for logistics and supply, and they teach these soldiers their combat experience hand in hand, so that these people can complete the task independently, they will be out of the division, they can withdraw from this team, continue to the next team, and slowly train local soldiers into elite soldiers.
For the somewhat divided Nordic coalition camp, the first target chosen by these special forces soldiers was the Belgian army, because the city of Antwerp was a diamond processing and distribution center, and the Belgian expedition was the first country to massacre the indigenous population, and the indigenous people believed that they were the ones who provoked the war, in this atmosphere, they could mobilize their greatest combat enthusiasm, and they could also exercise their fighting skills, and when these soldiers grew up, they could deal with more elite English soldiers. Reduce casualties.
Li Wenhao is the leader of a team, and his assistants Li Wenbin and Li Wenliang are his brothers in the same village, they have been good friends since childhood, and they cooperate very tacitly, and then with the dream of becoming a general, they also participated in Sun Yuzhi's special forces training. Because of the promotion of martial arts training in the Ming Dynasty, they have been obsessed with the traditional martial arts of their families since they were teenagers, and the three of them are extraordinary, won the recognition of Zhu Kezhen, and quickly became excellent soldiers of the special forces.
Today they were tasked with raiding a Belgian expedition camp, which, according to credible information, had found a vein of diamonds and harvested valuable diamonds. Li Wenhao's goal is to clear the camp with zero casualties and seize the diamonds. When it was getting late, Li Wenhao set off with this team of only 18 people, and under the guidance of local soldiers, they quickly touched the camp of the Belgian expedition 30 miles away.
After just three months of training, many of the team's combat skills are still a little jerky, Li Wenhao and their marching while correcting their irregular movements, such as the pace of the march, how to take it lightly, try to reduce the sound, how to make the fastest avoidance in the face of emergencies, and how to dismantle traps in the shortest possible time. The march was very fast, and it took them only an hour to reach their destination after a thirty-mile journey, and then they began to rest a little to regain their strength.
This is an expedition camp on the site of a small village, which is located at the base of a hill and faces a large mountain to the north, and a spring from the mountain forms a small river, which has been transformed into a natural barrier to protect the village. A small wooden bridge is the only access to the village, and on the north side of the bridge there is a fort guarded by sentinels. Access to the village from the hill on the back is very unlikely and can only be accessed via a small wooden bridge, which is the only trouble. According to intelligence, the expedition consisted of an army of 50 people, more than 100 mining explorers, and an unknown number of local residents who were forced to mine.
To the south of the village was the riverbed of the river, which had been bumped, and it was in the sands of this riverbed that traces of diamonds were found, and the Belgians found the veins along the riverbed, and in order to ensure the safety of the expedition, they took possession of the veins alone, and they cleared the indigenous population of the vicinity, arrested the young men for mining, and slaughtered the rest.
Now Li Wenhao and the others are hiding under the slope of the riverbed, and after a brief consultation, Li Wenbin and two soldiers went out to investigate. In the dark night, he couldn't see his fingers, and then there was a faint starlight in the sky, and Li Wenbin and the two soldiers quietly touched the edge of the wooden bridge. In this era of widespread night blindness, these special soldiers overcame this common problem, they took the traditional Chinese medicine that was unique to the Ming Empire, and supplemented with a large number of vegetables, they could rely on the faint starlight to conceal their marches and movements, which was a huge advantage in fighting at night.
Gently slid into the water of the small river, slowly swam to the opposite bank, and the three of them cooperated with each other to climb the riverbank. Li Wenbin took the lead and touched the sentry, and then made a gesture to the two soldiers, dealing with one sentry by himself and the other by two soldiers.
Li Wenbin gradually approached the sentry under the cover of dark night, and suddenly his body burst out, his left hand covered the sentry's mouth, and the dagger in his right hand smeared his throat, the action was clean and neat, the sentry was silently cleared, and the other sentry was also solved by two soldiers at the same time.
I didn't know how many soldiers there were in the sentry tower, Li Wenbin didn't dare to be careless, let the two soldiers stand in the position of the soldiers just now, he himself touched the window of the sentry tower, took out the special * made in the army from his pocket, and slowly blew a fine smoke into the sentry tower with the bamboo pipe he carried.
After about a quarter of an hour, there was no movement inside the watchtower, and the three of them opened the small door of the watchtower together. When I entered the sentry tower, I saw that there were more than a dozen soldiers lying in the two-story sentry tower, sleeping like dead dogs. Without any hesitation, the three of them began to act, covering their mouths and then cutting their throats with daggers, with very skillful movements.
At the south window of the sentry tower, Li Wenbin covered the lit oil lamp with a red cloth and shook it a few times in the direction of the riverbed. Seeing the signal, Li Wenhao knew that they had completed the task, and with a wave of his hand, he quickly rushed to the river bank with the soldiers, and after crossing the wooden bridge, he met Li Wenbin in the sentry tower.
A team of eighteen people quietly entered the village, and according to the previous information, they were divided into three teams again, and they were each approaching the intended target. In the same way, the sleeping Belgian soldiers were put to sleep, and then they went into the house and wiped their throats, and the whole process did not go wrong, and the task was completed very successfully.
