Chapter 239: Internal Discord (Part II)

As soon as Adenauer arrived at the front, he began to inspect the front line, and then began to prepare to see how the armies were prepared. And when he came to a trench, he found several soldiers fighting.

"What are you doing?" Adenauer said angrily.

And the soldiers who were fighting immediately stopped, and then immediately stopped when they saw Adenauer's rank insignia.

"General Adenauer, I'm your soldier, you need to help me! Those guys from China are actually trying to rob us of our wealth! Said a soldier stationed in a Dutch colony.

Another Dutch soldier who came to support from home immediately said angrily: "Obviously I saw it first, and whoever picks it up if it falls on the ground will belong to whom." What's more, why are you able to get a lot of wealth in the colonies, you ruffians can get so much, so why can our soldiers who protect the country in Europe live only on military salaries? ”

Adenauer saw the situation and immediately knew the general situation. This is also a conflict between the colonial army and the domestic army, in fact, this is an accidental necessity, and the two armies will inevitably clash. Because although the colony's army is weaker in combat, they are even weaker in fighting against the natives, so they are still very relaxed. And they are responsible for guarding the colony, although they are second-rate troops, but they can't stand their status! The forces of these colonies were used to suppress the natives and then protect the sources of wealth. And those European merchants who wanted to develop those minerals and plantations, and wanted to cultivate safely and not be infected, had to have good relations with these armies, so that the merchants could protect their wealth from being plundered by the indigenous tribes.

Of course. If you want to have a good relationship, it is natural that some wealth will be bribed to those soldiers. And these soldiers were bribed by officials, and the military style in the colonies was relatively poor, and the military discipline inspection was not strict, so that bribery became common and corrupt. Not to mention how good the fighting ability of these colonial troops was. But the ability to hold money is first-class. In addition, the Dutch are the emperors of Indonesia, so those natives will inevitably bring some wealth and filial piety. Although the soldiers of those colonies do not have much military spending in the Netherlands, they can still rely on the colonies to make money, and there are not a few such people. Of course, the future of these colonial armies is not good, and they don't expect to be promoted, which is the reason for their corruption, after all, they want to make money and go home to live a good life!

But the Dutch soldiers were a bit hard. Their training is very strict, because they have many powerful countries in Europe, so how can they resist foreign aggression if they don't train well? In addition, in this "foot of the Son of Heaven" in China, military discipline is not as loose as the emperor in the colonies, but the military discipline in China is very strict. In addition, there is nothing to obtain extortion in the country, and no one has bribed them, not to mention that there is no point in bribeging, so they are forced to live a hard life.

Although the de jure salary of domestic soldiers was much higher than that of the colonies. But this is only de jure. The gray income of those soldiers in the colonies ranged from several times to dozens of times that of domestic soldiers, and this was a difference according to the level of money made by those people. Domestic soldiers live on military pay. And the colonial soldiers made money on gray income. Of course, those elite troops are generally not sent to the colony, because those high-ranking officials in the Netherlands also know what kind of urine the colonial soldiers are, and they are afraid of taking those elite troops badly!

Originally, the domestic soldiers looked down on the colonial soldiers very much, because their fighting was much better than the colonial soldiers. But now they actually found that these people they looked down on had such a high income. These guys can't fight. But his income is much higher than his own, so how can he make those domestic soldiers feel balanced? He has worked hard and trained harder and more tired, and he has been carefully controlled by military discipline, but these guys who are not as good as themselves in combat are not only free in the colony, but can get a good income. When they return to China, they are all small millionaires, where can they be willing to do this?

So the local soldiers were very dissatisfied and accumulated contradictions from their hearts. This time he saw a fortune, and then he wanted to take it for himself, and the other colonial soldier certainly didn't do it, and they ended up arguing. On the surface, this is just a struggle for wealth, but inside there is a contradiction between the native soldiers and the colonial soldiers.

"How can you prove that this rhinoceros horn product is yours?" Adenauer asked.

"General Adenauer, we are your soldiers, you have to help me call the shots! If you think about it, rhino horn products are only available in our colony, and there are no foreign rhinos here. And this is already a processed craft, so this can only be left by the local soldiers of our colony. And my rhino horn food is gone, so naturally it is mine. How could there be rhinoceros horn products in the country? The colonial soldier said.

"Then this should be yours, how can you native soldiers rob us of our wealth?" Adenauer said.

"Hmph, General Adenauer, are you partial to him? Then I'll go find our General Bruce! ”

Soon, due to some "special" reasons, an ordinary soldier's accusation could not reach Bruce quickly, but with the help of some local officers, the accusation reached Bruce in almost less than half an hour, and Bruce was immediately furious when he saw this.

"Adenauer, what's going on? The soldiers of your colonies bully our soldiers from the country? Bruce asked, slapping the table.

And Adenauer also said angrily: "Why don't you say that your soldiers from home have robbed our soldiers of the wealth here? Our wealth is all earned by our hard work, and we have a heavy responsibility to guard the colonies for the country, so why not get some money? You eat and drink spicy food in China, we live in this wild world, don't we are allowed to make some money? ”

"Fart, your enemies are all natives, and our enemies are all the powerful armies of European countries, can this compare? We finally came once, what's wrong with you giving us some good things? Could it be that they went on an expedition once, and they couldn't even get some money? Bruce also said angrily.

The two sides quarreled here, and it was clear that each had its own situation. For example, Adenauer was from an ordinary civilian background, and belonged to the kind of people who had shit luck among the commoners. And Bruce is an aristocrat, and the natural struggle between the nobility and the commoners is a struggle, whether in officialdom or in daily life, which is actually a struggle between exploitation and anti-exploitation. There are both struggles and compromises, but now this Bruce looks down on this general from Adenauer's civilian background, which is why he is so unkind, and Adenauer is very aggrieved.

On the other hand, of course, it was also a struggle between the nativists and the colonialists. The local soldiers had a very hard life, with a lot of training, mental tension, and strict military discipline with no money to be made. However, the colonies are not only good and poorly trained, but their opponents are all natives and do not have much combat power, so they are not afraid of danger. In addition, it is a colony guarded, there is not much sense of crisis, and it is his own motherland, so the military discipline is also lax with prostitutes. Women's pants are the same. The most unbearable thing was the large amount of money in the colonies, which obviously made the local soldiers very unhappy.

So in this kind of red-eyed situation, the localists will definitely find a way to make money, and this will inevitably move the cake of the colonialists. Therefore, the struggle between the two sides was inevitable, and Adenauer became the spokesman for the colonial officers and soldiers, and Bruce was the spokesman for the native officers. This kind of factional strife between the nobility and the nobility, the native and the colony, is a headache that cannot be solved.

"Report, Deputy Commander Chen, good news, really great news!" Someone said.

And Chen Liyan immediately asked, "What's the matter?" Surprised, is there any good news coming? ”

"Deputy Commander Chen, just now we saw through the telescope that there were people inside the Dutch army who began to confront each other. They seem to be divided into two factions, the factional troops of the original colony, and the large army from the mainland, they seem to have become two factions, and then they contradict each other a lot. And this contradiction may be very beneficial to us, so we hurried back to report! The intelligence staff officer said.

When Chen Liyan heard the news, he couldn't help shouting: "God help me, the Dutch actually have internal contradictions at this time, so if it is used well, it can be completely fatal." In this great battle for the future of the Netherlands, the Dutch are actually at odds with their generals and factions, so it will be much easier for us to win! ”

Chen Liyan can already foresee that these Dutch may have internal discord in the future, which will cause problems during the war, and then it will be the time for Taiwan to clean them up fiercely. At that time, the balance of the fateful World War I will shift to Taiwan's side. At that time, it will be much easier for everyone to win, and it will be very easy for everyone to win.
