Chapter 618: Black Jack Pershing!
"Comrades!"
In the front camp of the Pacific Empire Volunteer Army, John . Joseph. Colonel Pershing, by the way, he is still only a colonel, but however, the rules in the army, it is normal for a colonel to be called a general, and this General Pershing is speaking impassionedly at this time.
"We, the Pacific Empire Volunteers, have come from afar! It's not for a treat! Not to see the beauties of Paris! Not here for a French meal! We are here to end this evil war! His Majesty the Great Emperor defined this war as evil! That's just so true! What did you see when you came to Paris? Everywhere there is a mess left behind by the German army! Look at the women and children! How pitiful they are! People come to you every day to ask for food, right? Therefore, we volunteers shoulder the heavy responsibility of history! We want to end this war! Comrades! Just received an order from His Majesty the Great Emperor! We can attack! ”
Pershing is not tall, but this guy speaks impassionedly, his voice is very high, and he has enough energy, and the look on his face is simply ignorant of everything, especially when it comes to His Majesty the Great Emperor, it is so awesome that no one can give birth to contempt.
Such a speech is obviously to boost everyone's morale, and they can go to the battlefield, so they ......
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
The slogan is neat and uniform, and it is really sonic boom!
In this way, it can be regarded as a battle, but this Pershing General ......
"This guy is nothing, my shoes are ......"
"You, you kid is lucky! That Pershing must be in a good mood today. Didn't you see him a mouthful of His Majesty the Emperor? It's as if His Majesty the Emperor is his own father. I'll tell you, I've seen it all, and the guy stared at your shoes for at least two seconds, and you didn't feel it. ”
"What's there?"
"What's there? Did you know or not? The last guy who was stared at the leather shoes by him like this, he not only wiped the leather shoes of the whole battalion, but also washed the ** of the whole camp for a week! ”
"My Fack! How could this Pershing be so TAI? ”
"You're obviously a newcomer. Let me tell you, we all call this Pershing Blackjack in private! ”
"Blackjack?"
"You kid haven't played before, have you?"
"Oh, I see!"
"That's right! That's because as soon as you see him, then you may get an extra 'reward'. ”
"Oh, Fack!"
Obviously, everyone understands what this reward means. Blackjack is actually 21 o'clock. And in this poker game, the literal translation is actually called Blackjack, which can also be called the Hook of Spades, and in this game, as long as Blackjack appears, then it represents additional odds.
Although he was a new recruit, William. Lacie had also heard some Pershing rumors, and heard that this guy was valued by His Majesty the Great Emperor, and was transferred out of a workshop. When I arrived at West Point, it was really surprising. As soon as I entered West Point, this Pershing was simply a carp turned into a dragon, well, this is a Chinese sentence, and if you don't understand it, it's too low.
But Lacey really didn't expect this Pershing to be so TAI, and to ask for shoes so much. Of course, this is definitely a strict standard for military appearance, but it's too much, right?
"Could it be that guy is really someone who is valued by His Majesty the Emperor?" Lacey couldn't help but think so.
In other words, Lai Xi is actually most worried about the departure of the Pacific Empire Volunteer Army now!
That's right. Although Lacey is a recruit, he is not stupid, but rather smart, and what he sees now......
Our Pacific Empire Volunteers don't have strong weapons!
That's right, it's just that there are no powerful weapons, the reason why Lacey became a volunteer is because he has heard of wars in Europe, that's fun, you know, because there are planes, there are tanks, although these things are produced by our Pacific Empire, anyway, we have production, but ordinary people can't see it, okay?
This is normal, so Lacey wanted to see it, but it turned out to be ...... We don't have tanks, at least not Lesy as an army!
Regarding this matter, in fact, it is also simple, that is, don't forget that the place where the war is now fought is France!
Will the French allow the Pacific Empire to swagger their tanks onto French soil?
Obviously, the French definitely don't want to lure the wolf into the room.
Of course, this request was mentioned before the troops were sent, and the problem with this sending troops was that all the European countries hoped that the Pacific Empire would send troops to help, but it would be good for you to send troops, don't bring those heavy weapons.
That's why Li Mengyang is so grinding, because these bastards, the initial request was simply that your Pacific Empire brought people in, just wear a military uniform.
Are they afraid, the current situation is that the Pacific Empire is obviously huge and powerful, although the current China region is still in a very backward state, but they can't stand it in the United States alone, how can they not guard against it?
And ah, what happened in Portugal later did not just confirm the infallibility of this wariness of Britain and France?
Well, the matter of Portugal, then Li Mengyang had planned it a long time ago, just to take advantage of this opportunity, and he really didn't expect that Pedro II would die so much.
Therefore, at present, the volunteers of the Pacific Empire, more than 30,000 people here in the main battlefield of France, counting a lot of logistics and medical teams, are almost 40,000, and in Li Mengyang's eyes, they are more like a peacekeeping force.
Really, it's like you're not here to fight, but it's not ......
"Your Highness! Finally it's our turn! We will certainly live up to the expectations of Your Majesty and Your Highness! "Back in Paris, Pershing was very confident in front of Crown Prince Li Zhenguo.
"Good! But in terms of our weapons...... "Li Zhenguo is certainly not an idiot, he knows the problem of the army he leads, although he is only in name."
In terms of military rank, Li Zhenguo is currently a major general, and he is really not high, but in fact, according to Li Mengyang's thoughts, his son should start from the grassroots level, but now, there is no such time, and he must be let the crown prince, come out to lead the troops, so, major general, it would be too embarrassing if he was not a general.
In other words, the general is really just a name, Li Zhenguo is too young and has no actual combat experience, so he has to listen to the people below for many things, and this Pershing, many old generals say that this person is very good, and his father has a unique vision!
Why?
This person is meticulous in his work, and he has extremely strict requirements for the appearance and appearance of his soldiers, so he can be of great use!
This one...... It's a bit of a generalization, right?
However, according to the standards of the modern army at this time, all of what Pershing did was right and met the requirements of the modern army, because such strict requirements can make soldiers have that kind of real discipline.
Discipline is extremely important in the military!
"Your Highness, please rest assured! Use me in the first battle! Use me to win! "Pershing is going to make a military order!
It's just that...... This is obviously written by Li Mengyang, a guy who encourages the volunteers.
"Good! I await the good news from the general! "Li Zhenguo didn't say anything, let's see the result.
That...... Is this Pershing really so magical?
Actually, Pershing is not a fool, he still has some good things in his hands......
At the end of July, the volunteers who were resting in France finally embarked on their journey, and this goal, that is, the first battle of the Pacific Imperial Volunteers, Pershing very surprisingly chose the Somme line!
The Somme, there's a mechanical battle going on over there, a tank war!
In such a battle, the Pacific Empire volunteers, who do not have any outstanding heavy weapons in their hands, what can they do?
It's so strange that the entire Anglo-French army, any general, shakes his head at this choice.
Even, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, that is, the veteran Frederick. Roberts, this guy is blunt......
"Pershing is really more rumors than facts."
The veteran Roberts didn't seem to be very interested in Pershing, so the others naturally chimed in.
If you want to say that the current coalition is also quite interesting, you have to figure out who said it no matter what you say, so the veteran Roberts, with his excellent record and qualifications, then he will naturally be the leader. As for the second-in-command, that is Petain, because this guy has performed very well before, and he is simply supporting the building to fall, and he is currently the supreme commander of France.
The situation on their side, in fact, also has a little impact on the Pacific Empire, but however, Britain and France have already understood that there are so many people coming to the Pacific Empire at the moment, which is a little bit of people...... I really just can't look at it.
However, as long as these individuals come, then it is equivalent to pulling the Pacific Empire into the water, and the war in the future, to be honest, is very clear to Britain and France now, and the result of the war will inevitably be won by our Entente!
Even many people can see it, so now some activities under the desktop are going on, anyway, under the desktop, it is more undisciplined......
It's just that Pershing chose the Somme like a fool, so although old Roberts can't look down on it, he won't stop it, because your Pershing troops are all hanging, that's good, the Pacific Empire can't hang on his face, they will send more people.
It's just that this is really a death sentence?
Is Pershing really exaggerating? (To be continued.) )
