Truz was squeezed out of temper by Contini's words, but he knows how to judge the situation very well, and now His Excellency the President can speak more effectively than him in front of the leader, and there is also the behemoth of the United Group, and there is a lot of filial piety for himself, so he can return to Rome a day earlier if he completes the settlement of Libya as soon as possible - he is really fed up with this hellish errand! It is said that it is not as comfortable as Somalia, where at least there are no patches of sand as far as the eye can see

The reason why he originally wanted to engage in rapid encirclement and suppression, in fact, he still wanted to finish it early and return to China as soon as possible, and he couldn't stand staying in this ghost place for a week, let alone staying for a few years, but now the task assigned to him by the president may not be enough for 1-2 years, and the money spent is not a small amount, but the loss of more than 200 people sounded the alarm for him: in the face of such a cunning opponent, let alone 2 divisions, it is not enough to double the number of troops, so he had to agree.

From the end of July 1926, Italy's clearance policy in Libya changed from the original military-based, political-economic supplemented to military-supplemented, political-economy-based, Truz promulgated 17 policies in his capacity as Libyan governor-general, and implemented a series of measures such as prison cages, concentration camps, blockade lines, and joint sitting laws, and nearly 30,000 Italian soldiers in two divisions were converted into garrisons on the spot, no longer taking the initiative to attack, but to compress the living space of the other side layer by layer, and gradually concentrate the Libyan population as a strategy.

In the midst of this transformation, Libyan guerrillas are also changing their response, using piecemeal attacks to take out lone or small groups of Italian soldiers. In response, Truz issued a bloody "tenfold blood compensation law", in which he dragged 10 Bedouins out of the concentration camp for every loss of a soldier in Italy. The whole camp was a vicious affair every day, but the momentum of the partisans was suddenly suppressed, because it was useless to simply shoot Italian soldiers. After all, Libya has a population of just over 500,000, while Italy has 40 million.

In this situation, they switched the spearhead of the struggle and began to think of ways to sabotage the construction sites of the United Group in Italy. The construction site that was caught off guard at the beginning was naturally poisoned, but after a long time, the construction site also had experience in coping, and the two sides began a new process of fighting wits and courage?

"You don't seem to think highly of your fellow human beings either."

"This is all a defect of insufficient education, which can be changed, but it will take a long time, and I personally think that Chinese is not suitable for democracy for the time being, and even the president said that Italy should be rich and strong, not free, let alone China...... Far from it! ”

"You adore presidents and leaders?"

"I personally admire the president even more!"

Toth patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Huang, do a good job, the president values you very much, I will go back to Germany one day, it is more appropriate for you to be in charge of the command of so many Chinese workers here in the future." ”

"I can't command." Huang Xinguo smiled bitterly, "I have to tell you about another problem of the Chinese: admiring foreign flattery, it is the foreign adults who take care of them, they can still be honest, and a young man like me can't hold down the formation at all." So a figure like the president can only be in Italy, who in China is willing to obey you a hairy young man? Not even if your father is a minister! ”

Toth shook his head: "It's hard to understand you guys Chinese...... By the way, it's also difficult to understand the Japanese! ”

Huang Xinguo smiled: "China and Japan are also difficult to understand each other. ”

With the rapid dispatch of the oil guards, the more than 2,000 Italian troops in distress in the hinterland of the Libyan desert were finally found, in fact, there was no tribal armed ambush around them, the heat, sandstorms, lack of water, lack of food and poisonous scorpions underground were enough to toss them to death, and the tribal forces that brought them into a desperate situation had already fled by relying on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain.

Thankfully, the Italian unit still had radios, reconnaissance planes were able to spot them, and Contini had plenty of water and plenty of planes. Otherwise, all of the more than 2,000 people would have to be turned into dead corpses in the desert, and finally taken away by vultures or buried in the yellow sand.

Rao is like this, there are still more than 200 people who died for various reasons, but compared with the total annihilation of more than 2,000 people in history, the 10% attrition rate is still barely bearable.

After returning to the garrison in despair, Truz also felt that things were tricky, this incident sounded a warning bell for him, hoping that the strategy of using a combined attack, a quick encirclement and an end to the battle would not work at all, the tribal forces did not need to fight you head-on, they only needed to play hide and seek with you, and it was enough to toss the dead. And judging from this time, once the tactics of the tribal forces succeeded, they would have zero casualties, and Italy would have killed thousands at a time, and I am afraid that Mussolini would have killed himself.

"It's not going to work, it's going to have to be done in a stupid way – blockade, centralize, monitor, compress ......," Contini advised, "and do it steadily, step by step, little by little." ”

"But there are hundreds of thousands of Bedouins!"

"So it is more important to concentrate, although the guerrillas come and go without a trace, but there is a rule, they must be active in these groups of people - they cannot pretend to be Chinese or Italians!" "To catch fish, of course, it is easy to use a net, but it is also possible to drain the water and turn the pool into a muddy field, which is slow but can be done once and for all." ”

Truz grimaced: "I'm afraid it's not easy to maintain a concentration camp of hundreds of thousands. ”

"It's not easy...... "Contini smiled evilly, "do you need my advice on what to do?" ”

"It's going to lead to a drastic reduction in population."

"Does anyone blame you?"

"But, labor!"

"I don't need them." Contini raised his eyebrows, "I don't want a single Bedouin, the Chinese workers are much more reliable than them." ”

"So, I have a worry, will I Chinese too much and then ......"

Contini paused for a moment, then shook his head: "The Chinese are different from them, the possibility you said is not impossible, but extremely weak, rather than worrying about the Chinese gathering crowds to make trouble, I am more worried about the Bolsheviks spreading among the crowd, so I asked the Italian soldiers, bureaucrats and oil guards to be polite to the Chinese, as long as they are not forced too deeply, they will not rise up to resist, and for the time being, they cannot be given the opportunity to master weapons - so I did not hesitate to veto the Chinese patrol you proposed last time, Patrolling this kind of thing can make the oil guards come! ”

Contini paused for a moment, and then shook his head: "The Chinese are different from them, the possibility you said is not impossible, but it is extremely weak, and I am worried that the Chinese will gather to make trouble,
