Mamat Ali told Sun Dahai that the Ottoman army had invaded Transcaucasia and occupied Tbilisi, the whole of East Georgia, East Armenia and Azerbaijan with 200,000 troops.

Mamat continued: "The Persian army, which is under the control of the Shair, is now being deployed on the Azerbaijani border against the Ottoman army. ”

Sun Dahai said: "Shair is my good brother, I should help him." ”

Gao Hanmei said on the side: "Big brother, don't talk patronizingly, eat more vegetables, this is my hometown dish made by myself, sweet and sour fish, called flower chicken, Dongpo meat and lion's head, and this, you have never eaten it, sweet potato." She picked up a slightly charred sweet potato and handed it to Sun Dahai, "As long as you peel this skin, you can eat it, you can eat one." ”

After she finished speaking, she also picked up a roasted sweet potato and peeled it for Sun Dahai to see.

Sun Dahai peeled the skin of the gourd in the same way, put the soft roasted sweet potato in his mouth, and tasted it slowly.

"Delicious! Delicious! Sweet potatoes are so delicious! Sun Dahai said as he stuffed the remaining half of the sweet potato into his mouth.

Gao Hanmei smiled: "Eat slowly, don't choke, and what's more!" ”

Sun Dahai was full of praise: "It's so fragrant! It smells so good! ”

Seeing Sun Dahai's eating appearance, Maimaiti Aili also smiled and said, "Eat more if it's delicious, sweet potatoes can be eaten as rice." ”

"Can you still eat it as a meal?"

"Yes, it can be eaten as a meal." Gao Hanmei replied.

Sun Dahai said anxiously: "Why don't you hurry up and report to your father?" ”

Gao Hanmei said: "It has been reported, my father asked us to introduce a large number of sweet potatoes, and he also asked us to promote sweet potatoes to the Central Plains for planting." Next year you will be able to eat sweet and fragrant sweet potatoes. ”

"Great!" Sun Dahai grabbed another sweet potato road.

Sun Dahai ate five big sweet potatoes in a row, and then patted his belly with satisfaction, got up and said goodbye to the master.

Maimaitiali personally sent Sun Dahai back to the barracks.

The next day, Sun Dahai led his Marine Brigade to the front, and the Marine Brigade was accompanied by the Mini Gun Regiment of the Kazakh Regiment, which had distinguished itself in the ambush of the Ottoman army last year, and its commander was called Urtalak.

After entering the Persian territory, he was connected with the Persian liaison officer Zargar, who had come to meet him, and the Zargar group consisted of ten people who were responsible for the guidance and interpretation of the Marine Brigade in Persia.

Zargar is a fluent in Chinese, and Sun Dahai has no barriers to communicating with him.

"General Zargar, how is the current situation on the front?" Sun Dahai asked anxiously as soon as they met.

Zargar replied: "The situation of the battle is very uncertain, our main force is fighting fiercely against the Ottoman army in the Savaran Mountains, and the enemy forces are attacking us in two directions, with a total of 150,000 troops, while my main force defending on the Savaran Mountains is only 100,000. ”

Sun Dahai said: "Fighting is not based on a large number of people, please General Zargar mark the specific location of the enemy army on the map." ”

His adjutant immediately spread the map on the ground.

Zargar pointed to Lenkoran and said, "One of the enemy is advancing towards us here, and the other is coming from Germy. ”

Sun Dahai is a general of the Marine Corps, and he is very sensitive to coastal cities, and this city called Liankolan is a coastal city, on the west coast of the Caspian Sea.

The Marine Brigade had been stationed and trained on the east coast of the Caspian Sea for a period of time, and they had a certain understanding of the water situation in the Caspian Sea, and in Sun Dahai's heart they already had the first target to attack into Persia.

He asked Zargar: "General Zargar, how many ships do you have in the Caspian Sea?" ”

Zargar wondered why Sun Dahai asked this question, but he also answered Sun Dahai without reservation: "We have a fleet in Ramsar, about three hundred warships. ”

"That's enough, three hundred boats are enough." Sun Dahai said excitedly, "We'll go to Ramsar now, and I'm going to borrow your boat." ”

Of course, Zargar didn't know Sun Dahai's intentions, so he asked, "What are you using the boat for?" ”

Sun Dahai said: "As long as your ship sends us to the coast of Liankoran, we will attack the city and destroy their logistics base." ”

"That's a bold idea. ”

Sun Dahai corrected him and said, "This is not an assumption, this is our plan." ”

So, Sun Dahai reported the plan to attack Lian Kelan to Cao Wenzhao.

At this time, Cao Wenzhao was also stationed in Samarkand with the army, and he received a telegram from the pioneer officer Sun Dahai, agreeing to their plan and ordering them to leave Urtalak's Minni Gun Regiment behind and wait in Rai to take over the 2nd Army Division of the Marine Brigade.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Dahai sent a telegram back, saying that Urtalak insisted on following the Marine Brigade to participate in the war, and asked Cao Wenzhao for approval.

"Grandma, a bear! No way! Cao Wenzhao scolded in his mouth, and said to Gao Hongbing, the director of the newspaper, "Send them a report, the Second Army Division will be able to reach Rai tomorrow afternoon, and if you want the Urtalak regiment, you must wait in Rai!" ”

Gao Hongbing is Dabao, since Gao Junshan criticized Liu Fangliang, Liu Fangliang transferred Dabao from the Military and Political Yuan to the front line, but Liu Fangliang was still protecting the calf, he did not put Dabao on the front line according to Gao Junshan's meaning, but entrusted Cao Wenzhao to make Dabao the director of the newspaper office of the legion headquarters.

Cao Wenzhao readjusted the military deployment to rescue Persia in the war room of the corps headquarters and reported it to the Military and Political Yuan.

The original plan was: the Marine Brigade, the 2nd and 3rd Army Divisions, the 1st and 2nd Mongolian Cavalry Divisions, and the Kazakh Mini Gun Regiment went to Rai and joined up with the main force of Shair in the Savaran Mountains to jointly block the 150,000 horses of the Ottoman Empire in the north of Persia; The 1st Mixed Brigade, the 1st New Division, the 5th New Division, the 3rd Mongol Cavalry Division, and the Bulakbai Cavalry Regiment of the Kazakh Regiment went to Kermanshah to block the 50,000 Ottoman troops coming out of Baghdad.

Cao Wenzhao revised the march route of the Marine Brigade and the 1st and 2nd Mongolian Cavalry Divisions, and the Marine Brigade went to Lenkoran by boat from Ramsar to Lenkoran in accordance with Sun Dahai's proposal, and attacked the Ottoman Empire's logistics base.

Gao Junshan replied to Cao Wenzhao's request in the name of the Military and Political Yuan, agreeing to their changed route map, and at the same time, sent a telegram to Shayr (Gao Junshan sent a special newspaper team to Shail's side in order to communicate with Shayr in time), asking the army of the Persian Kingdom to actively cooperate with Cao Wenzhao's military operations.

Sun Dahai received an order from Cao Wenzhao that afternoon, agreeing to his sneak attack on Lian Kelan. Commander Urtalak reluctantly accepted the order not to fight alongside Sun Dahai and led the Kazakh Mini Gun Regiment to separate from the Marine Brigade on the eastern outskirts of Rai.

After receiving Gao Junshan's telegram, Shair also sent a telegram to Sun Dahai, ordering Zalgar to fully cooperate with Sun Dahai's actions.

Sun Dahai showed the telegram to Zargar.
