In all fairness, the Yankees are more conscientious than the Kyodo. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although in the later stages of the war, Chinese mercenaries were sent to take on all sorts of death-daring missions, so much so that they paid a huge price.

But in the same way, their efforts have also paid off. On the battlefield, all their loot goes to themselves, and at the same time they receive a commission. The pockets of these survivors are still relatively rich, as long as they don't spend money indiscriminately, it is not a problem to go back to Shandong to live a middle-class life.

Zhao Guanhou was also ready for these people to apply for demobilization, but Sun Feibao put forward the opposite request.

The brethren were on the boat, and they consulted. It is said that the marshal does not owe us anything, and it is our voluntary choice to go abroad to fight. The money that should be given has been given, and we have nothing to say. But since the big marshal asked, we still have something to say, and we still want to say it. There are three things in the hearts of the brethren. First, everyone is used to holding guns in their hands, but they are not used to holding plows, so let us disarm and return to the field to live, I am afraid that it will not be possible. Besides, fighting overseas has opened our eyes, and we are not willing to let us just dig in the soil like this. Second, some of the brothers have become crippled, and the Yankees have not raised them well. The remnants of the soldiers don't give money, their lives are very hard, and when they go back to Shandong, they don't know how to live. Third, some brothers have started a family overseas, and the family is also on the ship, but they are all foreign women. I don't know if we have a bite to eat in Shandong. ”

He has a kinship with Zhao Guanhou, and he is the one who dares to speak the most, and the questions he raises are also relatively sharp. The other soldiers all looked nervously at this side, like death row prisoners waiting to be dispatched, waiting for the judge's final verdict.

Zhao Guanhou nodded, reached out and took a horn from Gao Sheng's hand, raised it in his hand and shouted, "Brothers! I am here today to pick up our Shandong warriors back to their hometowns. No matter where you come from, but since you are all under the battle flag of the Lu army, then everyone is brothers, and they are all my Zhao's brothers. Whether he is alive or not, he is my good brother, who has won face for me and shown his face to the people! I, Zhao, are here, and I will say it in front of everyone, I will never give up my brother! ”

He looked around and asked Sun Feibao first, "Those brothers who died in battle, can you bring them back?" ”

Sun Feibao nodded, "Bring it back!" All brought back! The brothers are not afraid of death on the battlefield, they are afraid of being ghosts in a foreign land, we do not believe in foreign religions, and we will not return to the foreign king after death. If the soul can't return to the hometown, life will be sad. There were not so many body bags, so they had to be incinerated on the spot and the ashes were brought back. It doesn't matter if it's a bloody battle, a bitter battle, a winning battle, or a losing battle. Brothers who died in battle, we have brought back the ashes. All the ashes, all on board. ”

"Well done! Later, let people move down, please go to the martyrs' ancestral hall in Shandong to receive incense! The families of all the brothers who died in battle can enjoy the treatment of the relatives of the martyrs, and they will be given a share of houses, land, money and food. New Year's firewood and moon rice, I packed! And then there are the wounded brothers. We have the Rongjun Farm in Shandong, with hundreds of thousands of acres of fields, all of which are our own industries, specially prepared for the disabled brothers. If you want to retire from the army, but under my rule, as long as it is the industry of the Chinese, you can go wherever you want to work, and I will arrange it. Whoever dares to refuse, I'll clean him up! As for the brothers who are not injured, you have fought overseas for several years, and some of you have become families, and if you want to be disarmed and returned to the field, I will settle you down! If you want to be a soldier, you will be promoted to the next level! Don't be afraid of not having an official to do, you are handsome and have an official hat, and the other is a money bag, as long as Shandong has me for a day, I will not let the brothers suffer, you can say whatever you think, I will not embarrass everyone. As for starting a family overseas, this is a good thing, no matter what kind of foreign woman she marries, she is the daughter-in-law of our Shandong, you want to have land, you want a house to have a house, you want to work and have a job, what else do you have to worry about, just say! ”

These words, through the spread of loudspeakers, reached the ears of every soldier, whether it was these soldiers who returned from overseas to fight, or soldiers who were responsible for guarding and maintaining order at the scene. They all heard it very clearly.

Sun Feibao was the first to kneel, followed by another officer, and then, one after another, the soldiers fell to their knees, and everyone shouted "Handsome and wise!" Long live the handsome! Banzai! "The sound was wave after wave, like the waves of the sea, echoing in the harbor.

When it came to the recognition link, people's emotions were released more thoroughly, or crying or laughing, all kinds of things were staged at Yantai Wharf. But whether it is crying or laughing, everyone's evaluation of Zhao Guanhou is unprecedentedly unanimous. Shandong can be without the sun for a day, but it can't be without a crown for a day. When he heard someone say about the provocation of the Fuso, a mercenary who had fought in Yankee and no longer paid much attention to the eastern soldiers, shouted

"In Citigroup, what battle has you not seen? Is the Fuso a bird? If you dare to come to us Shandong to be presumptuous, you will kill him all over the place, so that he can't go back alone! Working with foreigners at Citi is for money. Working with the Fusang people in Shandong is for the sake of the handsome, in order to protect the family, we can't retire from the army, we have to teach the people who help the Sang, Shandong is not something they can touch! ”

On the ship, the columbarium altar and foreign women with black and white skin colors were all disembarked one after another. Then it was carried down by mouthfuls of wooden boxes. This was the last batch of final payments sent by Hoover, a batch of Pennsylvania-made ordnance. As for Hoover himself, he had a visit to Shandong not long ago, had a secret conversation with Zhao Guanhou, and then returned to China to work for his career.

The content of his secret conversation was known only to Mrs. Jenson and Reinstein, and looking at the weapons, Reinstein shook his head, "Too little, far from enough." Our navy is enough to control these two ships, and with a little modification, they can be used as special combat ships......"

"That's not particular, anyway, Hoover and Hoover are also friends, you can't do this kind of thing. Besides, the future situation may be far more beneficial to us than two steamships to maintain relations with the Yankees. As for the matter of arms, don't worry, there is always a way to think about it. ”

"Hopefully, if Mr. Hoover's information is all accurate, it won't be long before the purchase of arms becomes an extremely difficult matter. We have to prepare as well. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded and asked Ryanstein, "What do you think of these people?" ”

"They are the most valuable wealth of Shandong, and after the tempering of the war, most of them can be qualified as commanders at the grassroots level, and a few of them can achieve higher achievements. I'm going to take some of them to the military academy for retraining and see how good they are and what they're capable of, and if you're lucky, you'll get a few very good generals. This is crucial for the future of Shandong. Of course, it's not good news for your finances. ”

"You are the chief of staff, just take care of the military, as for the financial matters, I will figure out a way."

Zhao Guanhou said that, in fact, Ryanstein has great authority in Shandong, including finances, and he can also intervene. Of course, he knew that Shandong's current financial situation was not optimistic, and arranging such a thousand or so officers (even if most of them were grassroots officers) would have to be regarded as a heavy burden.

However, from the perspective of a good soldier, he also pointed out that the value of these officers is not measured by money at all. Even in the near future, the role that these people will play cannot be assessed by economic indicators.

The placement of soldiers and the arrangement of officers are mainly the responsibility of Sun Meiyao. For well-known reasons, although the economic situation is not good, the treatment of the troops has not been affected, on the contrary, there has been an increase in food and some benefits. However, this kind of improvement cannot be treated equally, and there are still differences between various branches of the armed forces.

Even between the same arms, there are actually differences due to various reasons such as historical origins, commanders' backgrounds, and their own origins. Among them, the navy ranks first because it is currently a technical branch and its number is small. (Xia Manjiang, as the director of finance, resolutely denied that this was because his two sons were military officers of the Shandong Navy) followed by the two special forces of artillery and cavalry, Zhang Huaizhi is a descendant and a heavy general, and Sun Meiyao is a pet, and the treatment of the two is equally important, regardless of high or low, at least on the surface.

Hoover's trip to Shandong was not a visit with his bare hands, he sent a large number of military horses captured from the hands of the Southern Army, and it is not known that these gifts ended up in the hands of Sun Meiyao and not the armed artillery regiment. Therefore, in the overall declining environment, her cavalry brigade is getting stronger and stronger. Sun Feibao is her cousin again, and letting her be in charge of placement naturally takes special care of her.

She also knew that the burden on her body was extremely heavy, and Zhao Guanhou's entire net worth was pressed on her shoulders. The pressure on the Fuso people is far greater than the last time, and the situation in Taixi is also extremely tense, and it is actually uncertain that the foreigners' strength can borrow a few points. found a moment when no one was there and explained his thoughts

"These thousands of people, I will watch for you, and I will also watch for you for this family business. When I was in Shaanxi, Tanaka Yu made meritorious contributions in Shandong, and this time I will also make a career, let you take a look. ”

"You don't have to force yourself, after all, the enemy is strong and I am weak, as long as you do your best. What I care more about than this site and this family business is your safety. I don't have anything to say about Reinstein's ability, but after all, he is a foreigner, no matter how I use him, in fact, the power must be in my own hands to rest assured. It is true that Shandong is my foundation, but you are my life, I can lose Shandong, and I can't lose you. I'm not a hero, I never thought about turning the tide with one hand, mending the cracks in the sky or anything. My purpose is very simple, I would rather lose the world, not myself, and I would rather live up to myself, not to live up to the beauty. ”

Sun Meiyao's face turned red, and she gently pounded on his chest, "Old husband and wife, it's not ashamed to say this." Isn't it the Fuso people, nothing remarkable, if they dare to come, my brothers and I will spread the reins and trample on them! ”

"That's right, stomp on them!" Zhao Guanhou sighed, "In front of you, I don't want to lie, in fact, I'm not sure to turn my face with the Fusang people." If we really start fighting, we are really not opponents. The only hope now is that the brains of the Taixi people will not rot to such an extent, and the solution to the economic depression is not only a war, but what can be used to talk, not to fight. As long as Taixi is not chaotic, the interests of foreigners are very important, and Fusang devils dare not mess around. ”

The wind blew through Shandong, across the ocean, and came to another continent on this earth. A series of changes are taking place between the various countries that the Chinese call Tessie. Politicians travel between countries on cruise ships, clinking glasses and laughing, signing agreement after agreement, signing treaty after treaty.

However, these treaties are not intended to salvage the current weakening economy. The deal did not give bread to the natives, and after negotiation again and again, the Grim Reaper smiled.

As the orders from the arsenal increased, some of the workers were guaranteed to make ends meet, and in the process of working sixteen hours a day in exchange for a meager salary, one by one the sharp weapons of murder were assembled from their hands, packed into boxes, and armed the army. These weapons, in the near future, will become murder weapons for their own kind, or their own compatriots, relatives, or even themselves.

Albion and Capet concluded a treaty in which they recognized each other's interests in the colonies, and the two great powers, which had fought in the dark and did not give in to each other, stood together once again. Laughing and drinking elixir, he set his sights on another country, which in the Yankee War, always supported the North and acted more and more domineering in its evil neighbor: Prussia.

With the war of supporting iron and the turmoil in Tiele, the once great power in the East has been seriously weakened. The chains that bound Prussia were no longer secure, and the beast could break free at any moment and wreak havoc on Tessie. Some optimists believe that with the alliance between Argentina and Qatar, the chains will be strengthened again, and that Prussia will never be able to regain its dissenting will unless it wants to be the enemy of the whole world. Peace can still be maintained with a strong military deterrence. But there are others who believe that since the day the alliance was formed, the olive branch has been landed, and it is time to sharpen the sword, rehabilitate the armor, and soon, they will be used.

On this earth, a peninsula called the Balkans, because of its geography, ethnicity and even beliefs, has become a battlefield for the various forces of Taixi to tear apart and wrestle.

War and death, division and unification, flowers and wine, daggers and swords, the camera is staged alternately, and the cycle goes back and forth. Although its own territory is limited and there are many small countries, the scale of the war is not large. However, the war here will often cause the big guys behind their respective forces to end up, and the end of the battle will be dark, and it is also known as Tessie's powder keg.

Today, the fuse of this powder keg is ignited again. The crown prince of the Habsburg Empire, with his beloved wife, came to inspect a military exercise. Of course, there is nothing strange about this, the only thing wrong is that the target of the exercise is the ...... of neighboring countries, and the territory where it is located is also annexed.

Ethnic contradictions, clashes of beliefs, doomed the crown prince and his wife to be persona non grata. Before they set foot on the land, the nominal border guards of the land, defied the orders of their superiors to strengthen security and put several radical patriots from neighboring countries into the country.

Here, several patriots received support and help from like-minded people. They decided to teach the crown prince and his wife some lessons. The way they chose to protest was not slogans or rotten eggs. Fried eggs, daggers, and revolvers are the best tools for them to express their anger.

When the youth, named Princip, holding the revolver in his hand, was ready for martyrdom. As a man in a war-torn area, the average life expectancy is pitiful, and even if he does not die on this occasion, he may not live long. Therefore, they are not very afraid of death, what is the difference between dying here and dying on the battlefield?

An extremely ordinary assassination, a tragic song of murder, when Princip pulled the trigger, he would never have thought that the bullet he fired, shattered, was actually the peace of the whole Tessie. With the sound of gunfire, the knight on the red horse with a big sword broke through the seal and came to the world, he took the peace from the ground, and he made the world move the sword .......
