Chapter 427: Strike While the Iron Is Hot
In the early morning of the next day, the buffalo also returned with a mighty procession, and looking at the black prisoners of war behind the steel torrent, Li Qingcang and the others were in a good mood.
The disposal of this group of prisoners will not be as hasty as last time, first of all, Dad led a large number of municipal personnel and Lagos citizens who volunteered to help to take pictures of these prisoners of war one by one, register their identities and names, and then escort them to the barracks in batches to receive brainwashing and education.
The contents are as follows: First, the Restoration Army does not pay attention to racial distinctions, and the war is only to eliminate Gorba, the butcher who provokes racial conflicts, to bring peace to Nijalia, and to let the people of the two ethnic groups live a happy and peaceful life.
2: After the captured Haosa fighters have been registered and educated, they can leave on their own if they do not want to stay here, but they can no longer join Gorba's army in the future to continue to fight against the Restoration Army, and if they catch the prisoners released in this operation in future battles, then the Restoration Army will shoot them as Gorba's loyal henchmen.
Three: The Haosa soldiers who do not want to leave can stay and join the Restoration Army without worrying about being oppressed by the Ruba fighters, "Let the hatred between the two ethnic groups end in the hands of our generation." It is the war cry of the Restoration Army.
Four: Those who do not want to be soldiers anymore and do not want to leave Lagos can also join the newly established Lagos Production and Construction Corps to contribute to the peace-building in Nijalia. You can earn a salary for working there, and the Army will ensure that your lives and property are not harmed.
As soon as this statement came out, the first batch of prisoners of war who entered the barracks were pleasantly surprised, and after the Restoration Army occupied Lagos, a group of prisoners of war were released, so they did not feel afraid after surrendering.
It's just that I didn't expect such a good end, not only does not restrict their freedom, but also provides them with jobs. Even being a soldier in the hands of Gorba is not so good!
Looking at the advanced weapons and equipment of the Restoration Army, why did you fight with others on your side, most of the team died, and they almost didn't even hurt a single hair.
Gorba's old foundation is basically exhausted in this battle, and the fate of defeat will inevitably follow, and following him is really a fool to do if he has water in his head.
There are also people who have a moving slogan, "Let the fighting in Nijaliya be calmed down and the two peoples can live together peacefully." "If this is the case, how good it will be for everyone to live peacefully after the war.
As soon as Daddy announced these rules, the prisoners of war below screamed in a chaotic manner, and some of the Hausa people who had reaped the benefits of Gorba's hands immediately said that they would leave Lagos, but they would definitely not participate in the battle between Gorba's army and the Restoration Army.
Some of them were forcibly conscripted, and the Hausa people, who did not want to fight in the first place, said they wanted to stay in Lagos and work to contribute to peace-building in Nijalia.
There are also some prisoners of war who are active and eager to make a name for themselves, saying that they want to join the Restoration Army, directly change camps, and abandon the darkness to the light.
The Restoration Army respects the choices of these prisoners of war very much, and those who want to leave leave, those who want to be workers stand aside, and those who want to be soldiers stand aside.
Soon someone entered the barracks and picked up the prisoners of war who wanted to leave and work as workers. Those who left were trucked off outside Lagos and let them disperse.
When the workers' own iron-blooded logisticians and the newly appointed administrative officers at all levels in Lagos assigned them to various construction units.
Those who want to be soldiers are disrupted and assigned to various iron-blooded instructors, and now there are more than 10,000 Ruba soldiers in Lagos City, and there is no need to worry about many Haosa soldiers rebelling.
As long as the iron law of "the Ruba people are not allowed to harm and insult the Haosa people" is strictly enforced, the ranks of the Restoration Army will grow day by day.
The prisoners of war who remained in the barracks and the prisoners who came in one after another explained the policy of the Restoration Army, and Diana began to take her medical team members to treat the wounded prisoners of war, all of which made the reception process smoother.
At this time, Li Qingcang was discussing the battle plan with the brothers in the war room, preparing to strike while the iron was hot and take Ibadan City.
At first, Max and others were not asked to bomb the city, first, because they didn't want innocent civilians to be harmed, and secondly, there were two large oil fields in the city, and the whole city was radiated around these two oil fields, which were the industrial center of Nijalia. I am afraid that the bombing will hit the oil field facilities, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
The reason why this side is still receiving prisoners of war is that it has to quickly launch a second campaign, in order to expand its territory and expand the sphere of influence of the Restoration Army to the central region of Nijalia.
As long as Ibadan is controlled, then the Restoration Army will control the economic lifeline of Nijalia, and the port city of Lagos will control the transportation choke point of Nijalia.
Halfway through the meeting, Li Qingcang's satellite phone rang and the Russian defense minister called.
Unexpectedly, the Russian side called so soon, and Li Qingcang hurriedly suspended the meeting and stepped aside to answer this crucial call.
Minister Ivanov told Li Qingcang on the phone that the Russian side had roughly accepted his suggestion and had sent a special envoy to Nijalia to pick up the KGB agents who had been captured by mistake, and at the same time would discuss with him future business and trade issues between the two countries.
Li Qingcang was secretly happy in his heart, what Team Leader Wang said was indeed reasonable, Russia really chose to be friends with him, and it was in vain to take painstaking efforts to capture these agents alive, so that Gorba's biggest backer was gone, and it was the time to take advantage of his illness to kill him.
After hanging up the phone, the good news was reported to the brothers, and the people below naturally rejoiced.
Buffalo stood up and said: "Since the Russian side intends to deepen the cooperative relationship with us, it proves that Gorba has no backers at all, and I propose to occupy Ibadan immediately and grab this piece of fat." ”
Li Qingcang replied: "The deputy commander and I want to go together, of course it is a good thing to have a quick decision!" It's just that everyone has just finished a battle, so let's recuperate at home for two days before going on the expedition! These Haosa soldiers should also familiarize themselves with our military regulations, this battle has knocked out most of Gorba's military strength, he no longer has the confidence to wrestle with us, and he is not afraid of his tricks! ”
The buffalo replied, "What is this?" Fighting these guys is like going on a trip, and it's not as difficult as some of the missions we used to do. Where is there a need to rest.
"Besides, it doesn't take much manpower to fight Ibadan, and it's still the same as this time, let's rely on modern high-precision weapons to carry out long-range strikes. All I need to do is take half of the Ruba soldiers with me, and the rest stay here to defend those Haosa soldiers. ”
The Cannon King also rolled up his sleeves and stood up, shouting, "Boss! Don't worry about us, I'll tell you the truth, I really didn't enjoy fighting this last time, I just finished the shells, and the battle is basically over, it's really like an adult and a child, it's not interesting. Besides, where does Gorba still have the strength to fight with us now, as long as we go, we can occupy Ibadan in minutes. ”
The virus also stood up with a document and said: "Commander-in-chief! According to the satellite photos of the past two days, a large number of refugees have begun to move in the city of Ibadan, all in the direction of the capital Araja, probably frightened by our victory! ”
"What about the barracks? How many more troops are there in the barracks? Why are these Haosa people so afraid of death, don't we understand our propaganda slogan? Li Qingcang asked helplessly.
"There is basically no one in the barracks, and there are no signs of military activity, but there are many civilians wearing military uniforms in the ranks of the relocated civilians, which should be the remnants of the troops left in Ibadan last time, I guess they are bewitching these civilians to retreat, the war ended too quickly, and these civilians were deceived by these garrisons to flee together." Virus analysis.
"Hey! It's still not publicity enough! Wait for Douglas to go to the barracks and shoot a few more interviews, focusing on how the soldiers of the two races get along in the barracks, and hand them over to the TV station as soon as they are done, so that they can broadcast them around the clock! Li Qingcang commanded.
"Yes! Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief! The virus gave a standard military salute and sat down.
Li Qingcang saluted in return, then turned his face to his father and said, "Dad! After the meeting is dismissed, you should ask the printing house to print a batch of leaflets for me immediately, write clearly the slogans and ideals of our Restoration Army, and after printing, I will tell Max and them to fly to Ibadan first, distribute leaflets, and calm the people's minds, so as not to occupy an empty city, but it is not very cost-effective. ”
Daddy nodded in understanding.
Li Qingcang turned his face to look at the brothers, and when he saw that they were all high-spirited and full of fighting spirit, he said: "I thought that I wanted the brothers to rest for two days before going on the expedition, but what the deputy commander said also makes sense, we have to race against time now, and take it down in one go while Ibadan has no defensive strength now." It's going to be hard work everyone! ”
"Don't worry! Commander-in-Chief, you are waiting here for our good news! The buffalo said confidently.
Li Qingcang nodded, and just as he was about to issue an order to send troops, the chief of the guard, Adu, walked in, and after saluting Li Qingcang, "Report to the general, Ms. Diana is asking to see you outside!" ”
Li Qingcang had a headache when he heard Diana, but this girl is really helping the Restoration Army wholeheartedly now. So hurry to the door to greet you.
As soon as Diana let her in, she saw the Holy Mother unceremoniously asking: "General Li Qingcang, I heard that there are still tens of thousands of corpses of Haosa soldiers on the battlefield outside Lagos that have not been buried, right?" Are you not prepared to ignore these bones and prepare to attack again? ”
Li Qingcang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and thought to himself, "How can I forget this stubble, I used to participate in small-scale battles, basically killing and burying them, but this time it was a large-scale massacre, and if so many corpses were not properly disposed of, it would be easy to cause an epidemic." ”
Immediately hurriedly apologized to Diana: "Beautiful and kind Lady Diana! Thanks to your reminder, I'm going to arrange for someone to dispose of these corpses! ”
