Chapter 4: Reversal (4)

The position of the American world hegemon was established after the dismemberment of the empire that never set with the Soviet Union after World War II. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In 1900, the United States had established its leadership in the Americas, but it was not yet able to project its influence to the whole world. The current world hegemon is still the British Empire, and the American army has never been regarded by the top European powers.

And the performance of the US Army has lived up to the expectations of the people of the world. After staying in the encirclement for less than a week, several battalions of Americans took advantage of the darkness to climb out of the trench and surrender to the side of the Black Dragon Society. This kind of behavior made the other people who were still suffering in the encirclement envy in their hearts, and scolded loudly.

Wadsey condemned the behavior and didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, those Americans have average combat effectiveness, but they still eat a lot and like to complain. When they run away, they can save some food rations and medicine. He looked up at the snow outside, shivering with cold. In the past few days, it has snowed heavily, and the fuel for heating has long been exhausted, and now even Wadsey, who is a lieutenant general, can only struggle.

The Black Dragon Society outside the encirclement is actually not very good, but they have plenty of fuel, plus all kinds of stored meat consumed like running water, they are at least much better than those foreigners in the encirclement. They also launched surprise attacks from time to time, so that the coalition troops in the encirclement could not eat well and sleep well. For more than ten days, the coalition side was on the verge of collapse.

"So, you're just watching?" Gu Lu's body no longer has the slightest trace of a future person, and his outfit is no different from that of a natives in the twentieth century. Coupled with the murderous aura on his body and his tall figure, no one will doubt that he is a Jiangyang thief who kills people and exfiltrates.

"Or else?" Chen Cheng asked rhetorically: "Do you know that fighting a war costs a lot. And we're going to have to keep our strength on the other enemies. ”

"Other enemies?" Gu Lu said puzzledly: "It's snowing now, even if there is any fighting, it should stop." ”

"Hmm, Gu Lu, Kale, you still haven't fully integrated into this era." Chen Cheng said: "You should have heard of the Tsar's gray livestock, right? ”

"Well, I've heard of it. Tsarist Russians were known for their hardships and hard work. But even those gray animals are still people, not real animals. With such a heavy snowfall, it is time for the Russians to stop. ”

"Haha," Chen Cheng laughed, "You don't know this, the day before yesterday, the Russians set off from Shenyang, and the goal was Shanhaiguan." ”

"Such a cold weather," Gu Lu was still a little unconvinced, he stretched out his hand to feel the temperature in the air, "Even if it is Russian, this non-combat attrition will not be small." Besides, in this kind of snow, heavy weapons are not easy to transport, even if they kill them, it is just a group of riflemen, there should be nothing to be afraid of. ”

"Nothing to be afraid of?" Chen Cheng spread his hands, "Do you know that the Russians have always been famous for their white-knuckle charges?" ”

"Aren't the Russians artillery-ism?"

"Well, that's all about the Stalin era. At a time when infantry tactics were still using horizontal formations and columns, the rapid assault of the infantry was still very powerful. ”

"Our cavalry should be a great threat to the enemy who lacks artillery, right?" Gu Lu said disapprerovingly: "Unless the Russians disregard the back road and send 100,000 troops into the pass, otherwise, I think we can beat them back." ”

"Good ambition!. Good ambition! Chen Cheng exclaimed: "However, I have two other pieces of news to tell you." ”

"Judging by your expression, it's not going to be good news, but let's hear it."

"This first news is that the first-class steel of the Beiyang Army in Shandong has begun to mobilize and is gathering in the direction of Dezhou."

"Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army? Now they should only have more than 20,000 people, which is not enough to influence China, so there is nothing to fear. ”

"Tsk, you say this as if those 20,000 people were made of mud. Don't worry, there's a second piece of news. The second piece of news was that the Japanese had sent two more divisions over, and now the number of allied troops on the Tianjin side had reached 60,000 or 70,000 men, and they were ready to go north at any time. ”

"If I said I shouldn't worry about it, what would you think of me?" Gu Lu was also shocked by the second news, he knew very well the difficulties of those Japanese. Although the current Japanese have not yet reached their peak, the Japanese army, with its high nationalism, already has a style of not fearing death. In many battles along the railroad, he and the short Japanese killed in the dark. Therefore, he did not dare to underestimate the tens of thousands of Japanese troops in Tianjin.

"In this way, the form is very serious." Gu Lu said: "Then I'll raise a horse and come over as soon as possible." Well, what do we need most? ”

"The most needed? We need a lot of things, but when it comes to what we need most, it should be medicine and gunpowder, followed by steel, then food and cotton clothing. ”

"There is no hope for military gunpowder in the 21st century, but it is not difficult to get some potassium nitrate and other raw materials from the fertilizer factory, those small factories have long been overcapacity, as long as you give money, they don't care what you bought it for. The same is true for steel mills and pharmaceutical factories. But these things need money..............."

"That's easy to say," Chen Cheng said as he opened a box, and the golden color immediately dazzled Gu Lu's eyes. "There's a total of five kilograms of gold here, and you can start with that."

"If it had been before, I would have been greatly moved to see so much gold in front of me."

"Oh, you say that, just don't you like it now?"

"It's fake to say it's not exciting, but it's not as exciting as it used to be." Gu Lu said: "If you want to convert gold into currency, it is also a troublesome thing. So .........."

"So what?"

"So, I need to be more self-preservation."

"Greater self-preservation? If you give you a few heavy machine guns, you won't be able to use them in the city! Chen Cheng smiled: "Or do you want to drag a few cannons back?" ”

"You're laughing," Gu Lu said, "You should know what I want." Isn't that what you asked me to see? ”
