Chapter 207: A Prisoner of War Who Wants to Be an Uncle (Part II)
From the look on the surface, others really couldn't see what kind of attitude Wang Mo had.
However, Zhang Wei and other officers who were familiar with Wang Mo invariably mourned in their hearts for these English foreigners, and they knew very well that the more the commander behaved with disapproval, the more terrifying the final outburst would be.
Colonel Barnadiston saw that Wang Mo seemed to be negotiable, so he said: "Your Excellency, Commander, since you are also aware of the relevant provisions of the Geneva Conventions and the Laws and Customs of War on Land, are you willing to abide by these provisions and improve the conditions and treatment of our prisoner of war camps?" β
"Although the Republic of China is not a party to the Geneva Conventions and the Laws and Customs of War on Land of the Hague Convention, personally, I greatly appreciate and support these humanitarian conventions that improve the treatment of prisoners of war. However, how about improving the conditions and treatment of your prisoner of war camps, and if any of you comes forward to be specific, I will be able to solve it according to your requests? Wang Mo smiled slightly, looking kind and polite, coupled with his young face, he looked really harmless, like a polite boy next door.
The British officers and men looked at each other and talked about each other. They're not stupid, it's one thing to make trouble in a group, it's another thing to come out and be a bird.
However, among the more than 1,000 British troops, there were always brave British soldiers.
Not long after, a British soldier came out and said to Wang Mo: "Your Excellency, my name is Mike, and I am a sergeant in the British Empire. I think the biggest problem in the POW camps right now is the problem of food. God, the food offered to us is simply pig food, not even a shredded meat, oh no, not even a shred of animal fat. β
As soon as Mike said this, the rest of the British officers and soldiers echoed it, pointing to the buckets of food sent to the prisoner camp and saying, "Yes, look at what these dishes are." It's just boiled in water, and I wonder if there's any salt in it. β
Worried that Wang Mo and the others could not understand Mike's English, an officer who was proficient in Chinese even translated Mike's words and repeated them to Wang Mo and others.
At this time, Cui Zhengming, who was in charge of the prisoner camp, stood up. Angrily retorted: "Aren't these meals very bad, no matter how many people want to eat enough these days." Besides, our own fighters eat the same meals, no different from your prisoner of war camps! β
"You Chinese soldiers, how can you be qualified to compare with the soldiers of our British Empire?" Colonel Barnadiston said with his head held high. However, he immediately realized that it seemed a little inappropriate to say this as a prisoner of war now, looked at Wang Mo, and then said, "Your Excellency, I mean, our soldiers of the British Empire have always had sufficient food and nutrition, so there is no way to adapt to your army's food for a while. β
Wang Mo seemed to be very considerate of the British officers and soldiers, nodded with a smile, and said, "I understand that your country has many colonies in the Far East. Moreover, the income is huge, and the food expenses of your army are naturally guaranteed. β
That sounded fine, but Colonel Barnadiston always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything.
Seeing that Wang Mo seemed to be very talkative, another British soldier stood up and said to Wang Mo: "Your Excellency, Commander, my name is Joey, and I am a corporal in the British Empire. In addition to the problem of food, I think the time that your army allowed us to go out of the barracks and free to roam in the playground is too short. I spent a long time in that dark and cramped barracks. It is not good for our health, and this is a very inhumane practice of your army! β
"Yes, we ask for an extension of the free time, this is our legitimate right!"
The rest of the British officers and men clamoured loudly in agreement. One by one, they didn't have the slightest consciousness of being a captive, but they looked like uncles who had come to the resort for vacation.
"It's also true that too little time to move each day is really bad for your health. Well, do you have any other requirements besides improving food and extending the release time? Wang Mo asked again, acting like a commander who held the power of life and death of these British prisoners. but a great steward who serves them.
Wang Mo's attitude was really too good, so that the British officers and soldiers were embarrassed to make other requests, or they were also doubting whether Wang Mo would really meet their demands.
Colonel Barnadiston stood up again and said on behalf of all the British officers and men: "Your Excellency, for the time being, we have these two demands, and I wonder if your army will be able to meet them. β
Originally, Barnadiston thought that Wang Mo might find excuses and excuses to shirk, at least he would hesitate to think about it for a while.
However, what he didn't expect was that Wang Mo nodded very happily and agreed, and said: "There is no problem, these two points are legitimate requirements, and I have no reason to refuse." β
It seems that the Chinese are still afraid of the British Empire.
Colonel Barnadiston was very satisfied with Wang Mo's attitude, and immediately laughed: "Okay, Your Excellency Commander treats my soldiers of the British Empire so kindly, I will definitely respond truthfully and strive to eliminate the misunderstanding between the British Empire and your army." Commander Wang, I have to say, you have gained the true friendship of us British Emperors......"
Before Colonel Barnadison could finish his words, Wang Mo suddenly pulled out his shell gun, aimed at the right leg of the British sergeant named Mike, and pulled the trigger sharply to shoot.
Bang -
When the gunshot rang out, Mike's right calf was instantly pierced by a bullet, and he immediately fell to the ground, screaming and wailing: "Ahhh
βOhοΌShitοΌ Commander Wang, what are you doing, why did you shoot Mike, how can you treat the soldiers of the British Empire like this? Barnadiston immediately shouted.
The rest of the British officers and men were also in a commotion, and they wanted to rush forward with excitement, and Mack's bloody right leg really irritated them.
Click-click-
Seeing this, the soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army, who were armed with guns on guard, immediately pulled the bolt of their guns, loaded the bullets, and locked their guns on the British officers and soldiers who were in a commotion, especially the British officers and soldiers in front of Wang Mo.
Wang Erhu and other guards beside Wang Mo immediately guarded in front of Wang Mo as if they were facing a great enemy, raising their guns to aim at the British soldiers in front, for fear that the sudden outbreak of the British army would be unfavorable to Wang Mo.
"Go back, go back! If there are those who dare to move, they will be killed! Choi immediately shouted loudly to warn the rioting British soldiers.
The two Madsen light machine guns on either side of the prisoner camp were also ready to fire, and if they opened fire, it would definitely not take much time to slaughter the unprotected British officers and soldiers.
In the face of so many guns, the British officers and soldiers could not help but show fear on their faces, and the excitement and riot just now gradually subsided.
Wang Mo waved his hand and asked the soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance who stepped forward to threaten the British army to retreat.
Although the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army did not carry out a massacre, Colonel Barnadison's face was still pale, and he angrily questioned Wang Mo: "Commander Wang, if you are not willing to meet our demands, just say no, why do you want to shoot Mike?" You're not just shooting at a prisoner of war who has surrendered to your army, you're shooting at a sergeant in the British Empire! β
"Refuse?" Wang Mo smiled coldly and said, "Who told you that I was going to refuse your request?" Didn't this Mr. Mack just want to improve the food? Someone, send him to the temporary barracks for the wounded soldiers, and arrange the best meal for the wounded and sick every day until his injuries are healed! β
Immediately, two soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army stepped forward to carry Mike, who was still screaming and wailing, out of the prisoner camp and sent him to the temporary barracks for the wounded soldiers.
"You ......" Colonel Barnadiston was so angry with Wang Mo that he didn't know what to say.
Wang Mo said seriously: "Don't worry, our injured and sick meals are still good, and the ration of meat and eggs is absolutely sufficient." Don't you want to improve your food, just come and get shot like that Mr. Mack, and I'll make sure you'll all have the best meal for the sick. β
What are you kidding, you have to get a shot in order to eat better!
All the British officers and soldiers involuntarily retreated a few steps back, and at this moment, in their eyes, Wang Mo had nothing to do with the polite boy next door, but was very much like a big demon with wings on his back, roe deer fangs, and waving a steel fork.
"Why, is there really no one else who wants to go to the wounded resettlement camp to eat the wounded and sick meal?" Wang Mo asked solemnly, and then said loudly, "Cui Zhengming, since everyone in the prisoner camp thinks that the cabbage and carrots are difficult to swallow, then withdraw them, and there is no need to give them in the future." In the future, in the prisoner camp, each person only had one bowl of rice per meal, and those who did not want to eat it were welcome to go on a hunger strike to protest! β
"Yes!" Cui Zhengming immediately went out to answer the order, and then ordered to the soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army beside him, "You two, go and move all the vegetables from the prisoner camp!" β
Soon, two soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army walked over and carried the buckets of cabbage and carrots out.
I don't even have cabbage and carrots to eat now?
The British officers and soldiers couldn't help but look bitter, and wanted to protest loudly again in anger, but when they thought of what happened to Mike just now, no one dared to speak.
"You wanted to improve your food, and I agreed and gave you a chance, but you obviously didn't want to take advantage of it. I don't think that's my violation of the Geneva Conventions and the Laws and Customs of War on Land, right? Wang Mo also said with a very helpless look.
"Enough!" Colonel Barnadison shouted angrily, "Commander Wang, are you fooling us? β
"Fool?" Wang Mo smiled coldly, "Colonel, you are wrong, I am reminding you." You are now prisoners of war who live and die on my own, not uncles who take what you want! The glory and majesty of the British Empire, here in Lao Tzu, is not bullshit! β
Colonel Barnadiston, who had served in the Far East for many years, had some knowledge of the situation in China, and had heard that Wang Mo, a local Chinese warlord, was very tough on Western countries, but he still did not expect Wang Mo to be so tough.
The rest of the British officers and soldiers also looked at Wang Mo in disbelief, they really couldn't imagine that the British Empire, the world's number one power, was not even bullshit in the eyes of this Chinese.
"Oh, by the way, wasn't there another Mr. Joy just now, who said that he was going to extend the free time?" Wang Mo said as if he suddenly remembered again, and then turned his gaze to Corporal Joy, who was already stunned. (To be continued.) )
