Chapter 298: Surrender Without Fighting
The tribes near the coastal areas have initially moved towards civilization, and they know how to live better than the natives in the depths of the jungle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although they know more about life, they still haven't fully developed into a civilized society after all, and their thinking is very simple, but Lu Yong was blocked at sea for several hours by such a group of people and couldn't land.
The battle situation in the south has been told to Fu and Lin in the form of a telegram, and Fu and Lin have no doubts about their combat ability, but they didn't expect these natives to be so smart, so what does it mean, it means that they are still very capable, which means that they must be very careful in the future.
Those cannibal tribes may not be so easy to deal with, Fu Helin asked people to pay attention to vigilance to prevent sneak attacks at night, after all, for him, the rainforest is still very dangerous.
Especially at night is the strength of the natives, for Lao Sun's proposal that a civilized country should not treat these uncivilized natives like this, in his opinion, this is pedantic, if you don't deal with him, then people will deal with you, this thing is very simple, so he didn't take Lao Sun's words to heart.
At the end of this battle, the entire indigenous population of Luzon will be cleared, and this place will only be inhabited by Australians in the future, and the future of these indigenous people can only wait for them to build railways and mine.
To say that at this time the island is actually not much of the indigenous population, if there are more, then it is really difficult for Australia to achieve this goal.
In any case, the three indigenous tribes must be taken tomorrow, and the battle time is very short, and the domestic defenses are very empty, and it is very dangerous if the Dutch have any ideas.
The Dutch elders are very dissatisfied with Australia's sending troops, and from the information they have received, it seems that they have the intention of sending troops, so the Ministry of Defense requires that this war must end as soon as possible, and it must not be delayed for too long, and if it is too long, it will definitely have a very big impact on Australia.
At least a battalion of troops must return to the mainland after a week, otherwise the long-term defense will be empty, which will make people very worried, the whole of Australia is currently stationed in addition to Chang'an Town, which has a national guard garrison, it can be said that there are basically no other troops, and other towns basically rely on the militia for self-defense, and if the enemy attacks on a large scale, there may really be no way to resist.
Lao Sun and some other ordinary soldiers didn't know about this, only the officers knew that this war had to end immediately, because the longer it dragged on, it would not be a good thing for them.
Of course, Lu Yong, who was in the state of attacking from the south, also knew about this situation, so he was very worried that if he failed to complete the task according to the time set by the Ministry of Defense, he would most likely be punished.
Not to mention that Chen Jun is dissatisfied with him, I am afraid that everyone else will be dissatisfied with him, and then his career in the army will be completely over.
This night, Lu Yong didn't sleep well at night, now he just camped on the shore, and he didn't attack those natives, and he didn't know what kind of situation he encountered today, so he would be very scared, not to mention anything else, that is, whether those natives would attack him was hard to say.
After assembling the troops in the morning, he began to move towards the set goal, but fortunately he did not encounter the attack of the natives last night, otherwise he would have been even more frustrated, and the place where he attacked actually encountered hard stubble, this is unreasonable, is his luck so bad.
Just as the team was moving forward, several natives suddenly appeared in front of them, they did not hold weapons in their hands, but gestured and said something that Lu Yong did not understand, to be honest, they did not have a guide, this is the biggest mistake.
However, it can be seen from the body language that the other party has no intention of attacking, so he ordered everyone not to shoot.
A few natives walked over, laughing and gesturing something, but something seemed to be discerned from the simple body language, and they were saying to follow them.
Follow them, will these natives use stratagems, that's what Lu Yong thinks in his heart.
At this time, Li Hongliang, who has more experience in fighting with the natives, proposed that it would be better for him to take a small team of men and horses to the indigenous tribes to check what is going on, and if the other party is really friendly, then take them all to the base and attack the subsequent indigenous tribes, if not, then start a direct war.
It is very dangerous to go to the indigenous tribe, Lu Yong does not agree very much, but the status of the two people is the same level, they each fight with a team, and after landing, they should actually fight separately and alone.
Okay, but Lao Li, you must come back safely, we will secretly follow you, and we will accept you if there is a change.
Lu Yong patted Li Hongliang on the shoulder and told him that he supported him.
After all, the main purpose of this battle is to exterminate the natives, but for the natives who surrendered, there is also a special explanation, and the surrendered natives can make other arrangements for them, this is certain, don't care about the rest.
Although everyone doesn't like the aborigines very much, they are not killers, so as long as the aborigines are not genuinely naturalized, the Australian government can still accept them.
The natives took Li Hongliang into their tribe, and the men, women, and children of the tribe did not show anything unusual, and several elderly people seemed to be still blessing them or something, anyway, it was a kind of ritual to arrange him to sit down in the center of the tribe.
Later, he learned that they were attacking too hard with cannonballs, and the indigenous elders thought that this was the army of the gods, so they could not fight them, they had to compromise with them, and surrender was what they had to do, so at this time they actually surrendered.
The elder gestured for a while, saying that Li Hongliang didn't know about this bird language, but it could be seen that there was no malice, because the other party gave them his own food, and generally speaking, if the natives are willing to give you food, it means that there is no malice towards you.
It seems that they have surrendered, and we will go back, and this tribe will have to give a special account after it is sent to the base.
The Australian government is still very generous to the naturalized aborigines, after all, no matter what, everyone actually has no deep hatred.
When he reported the situation here to Lu Yong, he was also very surprised, he originally thought that he would encounter some difficult indigenous tribe, but he didn't expect happiness to come too quickly, and he actually subdued a tribe without using force.
Okay, immediately telegraph to the commander-in-chief about our situation here, and let them know how we are progressing.
Lu Yong finally raised his eyebrows for a while, and naturally hoped to give Fu and Lin a look. (To be continued.) )
