Chapter 392: Angering Rohr
An agreement was reached on the issue of assisting the expeditionary force of the southern regime in the United States, and for this reason, Luo Yang personally went out and conducted intense consultations with McTon, and in the end, good results were achieved.
After the negotiations, Luo Yang specially recruited Li Shixian to Beijing and gave him a lecture, telling him that, first, there is no need to work hard for the southern part of the United States, and that the only responsibility of the volunteer army is artillery bombardment and fire support, and second, it is necessary to seek benefits for the officers and soldiers of the United States.
"I hope that when your army returns triumphantly, it will basically be able to return with all its divisions." Luo Yang told him,
"However, this is war, and many things are difficult to predict." Li Shixian said that this task is very difficult.
"Alright, I'll equip you with an assistant." Luo Yang immediately sent cavalry to Nanyuan to pick up several officers of the special operations force: "Dai Beibei, how about you as General Li's assistant." Luo Yang asked,
Dai Beibei agreed, but he was obviously not very happy, because, he should be the chief officer, and his merits are quite powerful.
Luo Yang told the matter of going to the south of the United States to help, where the situation was extremely complicated, and asked the two of them to keep in close contact, "Do you know, General Li's task is mainly to assist the southern army with firepower on the battlefield, defeat the north, and make the situation balanced, so that the war can be carried out for a long time, and your task is not only to assist him, but also for more important reasons." ”
Luo Yang told him that in the United States, there were many Indians who were slaughtered, expelled, and relocated to the west, and these people, who were said to have crossed the strait from the Bering Strait and spread to the Americas, the Mongolian race, that is, the yellow race, and the blacks, also encountered stubborn oppression, "We can look for opportunities in the war, assist and collect these people, so that they can unite under your banner, and if necessary, we can support them, build up an army, and fight a war of independence." ”
"Ah, that's right." Dai Beibei and Li Shixian were shocked,
"Yes, anyway, the American continent is not those so-called whites, whoever has the strength will take it down." Luo Yang has a powerful face,
"It's really not easy." Dai Beibei and Li Shixian looked at each other,
"There are also Chinese, Chinese workers in our country, after the signing of the treaty a few years ago, a large number of them were lost to the United States, they were bought and sold, called Chinese laborers, there may be hundreds of thousands of people at present, if you gather them, you can train them into a strong army."
"Okay, great."
"Therefore, we are not simply reinforcing the southern regime of the United States, the smallest problem is to delay the civil strife in the United States, and the biggest problem is to completely take the American continent and restore it to the original state before colonialism, I am talking about the national situation, not the economy, if you have the opportunity, you can set yourself up as kings." Luo Yang told them,
As for the special operations forces, the special combat personnel are still not allowed to participate in the war, but they are asked to serve as military advisers to guide the war of the US Southern Army, train troop personnel, and infiltrate and sabotage the Northern Union Army.
Many preparations were made for the formation and training of the troops, as well as for the adaptation of the water and soil of the American continent, and five days later, the ships of the American Southern Army in Tianjin transported these officers and men away.
On the dock, McTon personally sent every officer and soldier of the Volunteer Army onto the ship, and was the last to board the ship and leave, on the boat, waving his hand at Luo Yang and others, with tears in his eyes,
Because the southern part of the United States was blockaded by the northern navy, the northern fleet, and even the civilian merchant ships that traveled to and from the southern ports in the south, were directly destroyed, so in the design of the route into the southern ports of the United States, McTone was quite difficult, and Luo Yang easily decided on the plan: make the ships hang the British flag and pretend to be it, or, directly land in the west, where there is no blockade in the north, or, land in the edge ports of Mexico in the east, and then go, these ideas are very ordinary, But McTone, who has a lot of concerns, sees it as a good way to break through thinking.
After the volunteers boarded the ship, in the face of a possible battle at sea, Luo Yang also asked Dai Beibei and Li Shixian to attack suddenly while they were camouflaged and waiting for the inspection of the warships of the northern blockade, because the flying thunder cannon was powerful and could quickly sink the enemy ship.
Later, this was indeed the case, the northern fleet intercepted them, and by the convoy of these eight merchant ships, they suddenly attacked and sank all the gunboats in the north.
When the volunteers left, Luo Yang personally saw them off, and many people came, so the impact was very great, so it was impossible for foreign ministers not to know.
In fact, this is Luo Yang deliberately making things bad, that is, to let Mr. Luo Er, the minister of the Northern Federation, know that Luo Yang is on the dock in Tianjin, and he got the news that Mr. Luo Er, the minister of the Northern Federation, is furious.
At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Luo Yang met with this red-eared minister, and he solemnly presented his credentials and protested to Luo Yang, "On behalf of the Government of the United States of America, I would like to express my strongest protest to the Government of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom against your interference in the internal affairs of the United States. ”
Luo Yang almost laughed out loud,
Nima, you Yankees will also protest, and there will be times when you don't have a.
"I reject your protests, and I really don't know why the United States is protesting against our country." Luo Yang was ashamed,
"Because, your army has officially joined the ranks of the rebel government in the South, which is a military intervention, a serious declaration of war." Minister Rohr was furious,
Out of Xiang,
Luo Yang was also angry and slapped the table: "I, I bought a watch last year. ”
"Ahh Minister Rohr is very strange, what is this,
This is a national scolding, hidden, so, very profound, very modernist, "We, the Chinese government, have never interfered in the lives of the people of the Americas. ”
Seeing Luo Yang's resolute face, Minister Luo Er could only speak patiently, and in the end, he said sadly: "If the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom must reinforce the rebel forces in the south, it will seriously damage the relations between our two countries, and perhaps, the officials between our two countries will never be restored." ”
If you don't recover, you won't live if you don't rely on you, Luo Yang despised the arrogant American minister: "Strictly speaking, we hate the interference of the American president in us, for example, the three treaties in which the United States participated are all open interference and aggression against our Chinese nation. ”
Luo Yang also explained to him that there were indeed troops supporting the southern government, but it was not his own instructions, but the volunteers: "Do you know, what is volunteering, it is not sent by our government, so it is a personal act, they are young people, they are inspired by the universal values of the United States, especially the democratic spirit shown in the Declaration of Independence, so they desperately ask to go, this king forbids it, but they resign from the military and are no longer soldiers, this is a personal act." ”
How could Luo Er be easy to deceive: "However, I heard that King Rui personally saw him off, here, is there no political significance, not a kind of encouragement and acquiescence." ”
