Chapter 110: Codename "Cobra"
With Lu Liang's seal on the verdict, everyone began to discuss the preparations needed to fight the French. This is not Japan, but France, one of the top powers, and the purpose, scale, and justification of the war are all issues that need to be considered. What they are doing is not all genetic people, Liu Yongfu, director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and Cai Yuanpei, head of the Party Department of the Zhenguo Party, who are valued by Lu Liang, do not hide many secrets from them.
Liu Yongfu only felt that his heart was churning, he was no longer young, but his heart to serve the country had not cooled, especially when he encountered a dispute with the French. Regarding Lu Liang's decision, he raised his hands in favor, in essence, he is a soldier. He admired the actions of the Zhenguo Party very much, and Japan killed tens of thousands of people, and he did not suffer much damage. France, just do what you say, without a little mud and water. You must know that these two countries are the two countries that have been fighting against each other for a long time! How many Black Flag brothers died under their guns!
Cai Yuanpei was a little unable to turn around, so he said a few words? How did it turn into a declaration of war on France? This is somewhat incredible! As a member of the Zhenguo Party, Cai Yuanpei felt obligated to remind these bold colleagues.
"Prime Minister, everyone, calm down! War is not child's play, not to mention that the opponent we have to face is France, which has the world's largest army! How strong are their army and navy in Indochina? To what extent would mainland France take the threat of a colony? What is the terrain, climate, and environment of Yunnan, Indochina, and other places, and how much time does our army need to prepare? Will our economy be able to sustain this international war? After all, our Zhenguo Party now represents not only these party members, but also the people of Guangdong, Guizhou and Fujian provinces, and even the future of the entire country! Because of this war, we have broken the development track and suffered damage to ourselves, is it worth the price? Cai Yuanpei's words were fast and urgent, his eyes were firmly fixed on Lu Liang, he knew that as long as Lu Liang changed his mind, those subordinates would not object. He was a little disappointed in Lu Liang's uncalmness, and was angry at these rigid high-level people who only knew how to obey Lu Liang's orders, they were not qualified subordinates and strategists at all!
Yes, the setting of genetic people is to unconditionally obey Lu Liang's orders, and it is unrealistic for them to put forward subjective suggestions, they will only analyze objectively and rationally, and when Lu Liang decides on something, they will continue to reason according to Lu Liang's orders. Cai Yuanpei didn't know, so he was angry - what kind of subordinates are they! He didn't know about robots yet, otherwise he would have thought that way.
Lu Liang looked at Cai Yuanpei with some surprise, and it didn't return to normal until a few minutes later, the atmosphere in the room was extremely thick, and the gene man was expressionless and didn't speak, Liu Yongfu didn't agree with Cai Yuanpei's words, but he was older and calm, and he didn't speak. In the end, Lu Liang sighed, raised his head and patted the shoulder of Cai Yuanpei, who was a little stubborn, and said solemnly: "Thank you!" ”
Cai Yuanpei wanted to say something, Lu Liang waved his hand, in fact, his words just now had already made Lu Liang wake up, he had been in power for a long time, and the Zhenguo Army would win every battle, which made Lu Liang's heart swell a little, and the decision on the war was indeed a little hasty. And his mistakes can't be counted on the genetic people to help him point them out, if there is no Cai Yuanpei, he can only rely on his own willpower, that is too dangerous, it seems that it is the right decision to introduce Cai Yuanpei and others into the high-level.
"Minister Cai is right, this matter is taken for granted, in this way, the scale of this war must be controlled within a small range, and it is best not to attract the attention of the French mainland." When Lu Liang said this, Cai Yuanpei saw that the war was about to happen, and was just about to speak, when Liu Yongfu next to him pulled him, Lu Liang pretended not to see their small movements, and continued.
"More than 200,000 people in the five armies are indeed a bit crowded in these three provinces, so take this opportunity to launch the Yunnan-Guizhou War, completely take Yunnan, rescue the laborers on the construction site, recover the sovereignty of the railway, and solve the problem of the Yunnan-Vietnam railway. If the French counterattacked, or took the initiative to attack, they would resolutely counterattack, but they could not enter the territory of French Indochina. Lv Si, the Investigation Bureau should find out the intelligence of the Yunnan-Guizhou area and the situation of the French garrisons along the Yunnan Railway before October 1903, and we will launch the Yunnan-Guizhou Campaign in the dry season! ”
In addition, the special brigade entered Yunnan in advance to carry out an operation to rescue laborers and sabotage the process of building a railway in France. It's the rainy season and it's not suitable for a large army to enter, but that doesn't mean we're sitting idly by! ”
Lu Min, who has not changed the iceberg expression for thousands of years, finally smiled, she is in charge of special operations, and her special operations team has been expanding, but there have been no major combat missions in the past two years, and now she can finally show her strength!
The headquarters of the special operations team is near the Huizhou steel base, and there is a squadron of special combat personnel here who are responsible for guarding the core of the steel base. Ten days later, the Investigation Bureau brought preliminary information on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, and Lu Min and the senior management of the special combat team formulated an operational plan based on the information, submitted it to Lu Liang and obtained approval, and the operation codenamed "Cobra" to rescue the laborers officially began.
The 32 members of the 5th Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade were trekking through the mountains and forests, and the camouflage and equipment on the team members made them look a little clumsy, but they did not act like this. The soldiers from the mountainous regions of the south made them more accustomed to such a climate, not to mention the genetically human officers.
Since more than a year ago, the special operations brigade has consciously selected outstanding soldiers from various armies to join the ranks of the special combat team. The selection criteria are so high and difficult that so far only 100 ordinary soldiers have become members of the special operations team. Of course, the peculiarities of special operations do not require too many soldiers. And Song Hao, a member of the second squad of the fifth squadron, is one of them.
After joining the special combat team, he was constantly training at high intensity, often in a state of combat readiness, training in high mountains, jungles, tropical temperate zones, cities, rural areas, and various environments, which made Song Hao feel like a machine, an efficient killing machine, sharp and cruel. Although there is no high-intensity battle, there are always such and such tasks to be completed outside of training, and there are not a few people who kill themselves!
Pushing aside the branches in front of him, Jiang Maosheng felt a little itchy on his oil-stained face, and reached out to touch it, damn! Another abominable vampire leech! God knows how they ran to their faces, such a jungle, the most annoying thing is not the big animals, such as South China tigers, leopards, Asian elephants, etc., but the ubiquitous poisonous snakes, mosquitoes, their deadliness is higher, and even many plants are the existence of human life. I knew that I wouldn't participate in the selection of this special combat team, how good it would be to stay in the old unit and be with the company commander, Lao Dong and others!
There was a tactile feeling of patting on his shoulder, and when he looked back, a veteran named Song Hao made a gesture to signal that he would not be left behind. Song Hao is his observer, and the two of them are a sniper team. I don't know when I will be able to be like the veteran Song Hao, cold-blooded and cruel.
Lu Hua, the leader of the fifth squadron, made a gesture, the team stopped advancing, he pulled out the map, discussed it with several squad leaders, and then signaled to move on. Lu Hua was very confident in this operation, and there were no more difficulties in such a battle except to test the marching ability of the special combat team. According to intelligence, the target of the fifth squadron was a construction site called Mengzi on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, where there were 200 soldiers sent by the French Indochina Governorate, of which only 50 were French soldiers, and the rest were colonial soldiers, most of whom were recruited from Vietnam.
The only thing to pay attention to is that there are 5,000 laborers there at the same time, and how to bring them back to Guangxi safely is the biggest problem. However, this is not their own task, the special operations team only needs to destroy those enemies. Although most of the Fifth Squadron are ordinary soldiers, their combat effectiveness is not bad, most of them have been tested in actual combat, and some soldiers are not as efficient as they are in killing people.
Snakes are the most common animals in the mountains of Yunnan, and they are also the things that the Fifth Squadron eats the most during this time. Fortunately, the soldiers in the south did not reject eating snakes, and even liked them very much. After arriving at the periphery of Mengzi, Lu Hua led two team members to reconnoitre, and the rest rested on the spot, eating wild animals and individual rations to replenish their strength. Jiang Maosheng no longer expects to test snake meat and boil snake soup, cut off a piece of snake meat with a dagger and throw it into his mouth, swallow it quickly after a simple chew, and no longer spit it out is the best Jiang Maosheng can do. He looked at Song Hao and didn't understand very much, why did he taste it as if he was tasting the supreme delicacy?
Song Hao is also paying attention to his partner, and he also doesn't understand, why does a recruit who has just joined the special operations team for less than a month become the main sniper, and his veteran wants to act as his observer? Looking at Jiang Maosheng's difficult swallowing, Song Hao seemed to be a little happy, the snake meat in his mouth became more delicious, and the blood of the snake on his face was mixed with oil paint, Song Hao felt that he was too handsome, but except for the special combat team, no one else could understand such a beauty.
