After really walking up to Li Yongji and coming face to face with Li Yongji at close range, Tang Nianzu suddenly didn't know what to say, he only felt that his head was blank, except for the inexplicable excitement and excitement, all other emotions and thoughts disappeared.

Tang Nianzu was so excited, of course, not because he knew Li Yongji's identity as emperor, but because of Li Yongji's long-term prestige in the army.

You must know that Shi Dakai's troops, not to mention, the motorized dream division was completely brought out by Li Yongji, although Li Yongji only brought out some people, and then these people taught others, but as far as Chinese tradition is concerned, it means that the whole army is Li Yongji's students.

If it means that the training is good, the key is that Li Yongji personally led them to the battlefield later, and fought one clean victory after another, and so far there has been no defeat.

This is very powerful, because the favorite commander in the army is not a soldier who loves soldiers like a son, nor is he a person who shares weal and woe, but their favorite commander is a general who can lead them to victory, especially a general who can win a big battle with low casualties.

Obviously, Li Yongji is such a general, so although Li Yongji usually lives in a simple place, except for the high-level, it is difficult for the low-level soldiers to see him, but this still can't stop the worship of Li Yongji by the generals and soldiers in the army.

Especially when they found that their weapons and tactics were very effective in the process of actual combat, they felt very cordial to Li Yongji, who taught this qiē, and spontaneously became Li Yongji's followers without the guidance of outsiders.

Tang Nianzu is the same, he is only eighteen years old now, which is the age of idol worship, in the era when there are no entertainment idols, the strong in the army naturally become the object of his worship, and it is precisely because of this that Tang Nianzu imagined all kinds of beauty in Li Yongji.

And now, when I saw my idol up close in person, I couldn't speak for a moment because of excitement, and it was understandable.

Fortunately, Li Yongji has not encountered this once or twice, and he is very experienced, so when he saw that the other party was just looking at him excitedly, but he couldn't say why, he simply smiled slightly, and then asked the other party not to be in a hurry, and said slowly.

Not to mention, Li Yongji's smile and a few words of persuasion were still very useful to Tang Nianzu, and he quickly came back to his senses and began to say his intentions.

Of course, because of his excitement, he was already a little out of his words, or he had lost his coherence, but fortunately, he finally said the general content, and Li Yongji listened patiently for a long time and understood his intention.

"Well, I probably understand." Li Yongji nodded, "However, do you personally intercede on behalf of those American prisoners, or do you want me to meet that Skerst?" ”

"This ......" Tang Nianzu scratched his head embarrassedly, "The main purpose of the humble position is to let you meet General Scruther, after all, I promised someone...... Well, of course, the matter of interceding on behalf of the American prisoners, this is also important, but that is secondary, because, I suppose that after you have met with General Schorst, he will certainly bring it up to you personally. ”

"Hehe, it's kind of interesting." Li Yongji turned his head with a smile, looked at Sun Xiangbing, who was following closely behind him, holding a small notebook and ballpoint pen in his hand, and said, "Xiangbing, I really didn't expect that there would be such a young man with a full sense of justice in your staff department." ”

"Where, where, it is a lowly and inadequate discipline." Sun Xiangbing immediately said.

"Forget it." Li Yongji smiled and waved his hand, "Young people, it's a good thing to have a sense of justice, and you don't need to be too harsh, but you have to make them understand what a real sense of justice is, what is a hypocritical sense of justice, can you understand what I said?" ”

"Yes!" Sun Xiangbing immediately stood up straight with his hands together, and bowed his head slightly at the same time, "If the humble position is not misunderstood, what the commander means is that when dealing with his own people, we must always maintain a sense of justice and have the greatest kindness in our hearts, but when we treat the enemy, we can't use our sense of justice too much." Because of the sense of justice applied to the enemy, just like the farmer in the farmer and the snake, he saved the poisonous snake, but if he was not careful, he would be bitten to death by the poisonous snake. ”

"Hmm." Li Yongji nodded, and looked at Tang Nianzu again, "So, this young sergeant, do you understand now?" ”

"I, I understand." Tang Nianzu also lowered his head, but soon he raised his head again and said, "But commander, those American prisoners have no ability to resist, so they are not poisonous snakes at all, right?" Besides, whether we let them go in the future to ask for ransom or work for us as laborers, it is very valuable, so it is not a bad thing to treat them well, regardless of whether it is just right or not, but only about benefits. After all, they are alive to be a treasure, and if they die, they are just a corpse, worthless, and we have to dig a pit for them. ”

It seems that the word digging hit Li Yongji's laughter in the end, he actually laughed, laughed for a while, and found that no one around him laughed, so Li Yongji stopped laughing.

There is no way, the people around Li Yongji now, except for this Tang Nianzu, one is Wu Shouyun, the unsmiling head of the guard, the other is Sun Xiangbing, the chief of staff who always has a straight face, and the other is the so-called construction person in charge who can't even remember his name.

Wu Shouyun and Sun Xiangbing have been with him for a long time, and they are considered close ministers, but unfortunately they are not the kind of people who can express their feelings lightly, so they will not laugh with themselves.

As for the person in charge who was recruited to ask about the construction situation, as well as this Tang Nianzu, the difference between his status and his own status is a little far away, and he usually has no contacts, on this occasion, it is impossible to laugh with himself, it is really like that, according to Chinese tradition, it is usurpation.

However, only Li Yongji laughed alone, but the people around him didn't laugh, the feeling was actually very unpleasant, and there was a feeling of coldness, so at this time, Li Yongji missed Sun Wang or Shen Shiming very much.

Whether it is Sun Wang or Shen Shiming, if they are around, whether they understand or don't understand the stalk of digging the pit just now, or whether it is true or fake, as long as they see Li Yongji laughing, they will definitely laugh with him, instead of being indifferent like now.

It was at this time that Li Yongji understood why the superiors throughout the ages liked to raise some flattering guys by their side, but they really had these guys by their side, so they didn't want to be generally comfortable.

After feeling a little bored, Li Yongji simply nodded to Tang Nianzu: "Okay, I understand what you said, if there is nothing to do, I will go and get busy with you." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Tang Nianzu saluted as usual, and then asked in a low voice, "Then, will you meet General Scester next?" ”

"Yes." Li Yongji smiled slightly, "I'll let someone bring him over and see him in person, now you can rest assured, right?" ”

"Yes, understood!" Tang Nianzu once again straightened his chest and saluted, "Thank you, Commander!" ”

When Li Yongji smiled and nodded again, Tang Nianzu turned around excitedly, then opened his hands, and slowly left with the same steps as he walked in the classic exercises.

When that Tang Nianzu walked away, Sun Xiangbing persuaded in a low voice: "Commander, that's just a junior's nonsense, you don't need to ...... it."

"Nope." Li Yongji waved his hand, "Do you think I listened to him to see the defeated general?" Then you are wrong, in fact, even if he doesn't mention it, I have to meet with that Skerst, after all, at this time, it is still necessary to let this general come forward and stabilize the military morale of the captives. Well, anyway, carry out the order, go and bring that Scist to me. ”

"Yes." Sun Xiangbing didn't say anything anymore, just simply lowered his head, quickly picked up the walkie-talkie, and began to give orders.

Soon, Skerst was taken to Li Yongji's temporary residence, a mobile home that was first built.

Li Yongji is not a general who likes to play the same game of sharing weal and woe, he likes to win with a strict system and abundant materials, so he has always treated himself first and will never make himself uncomfortable.

Therefore, when Li Yongji asked for a board house, he also asked for a mobile villa by the way, and he built it as soon as possible, and only when this villa was built did he build other color steel buildings.

Because the materials of this mobile villa are very good, the walls, floors and ceilings are all warm materials, and even the glass is three-layer hollow explosion-proof glass, which has good warmth, coupled with the intelligent heating system and modern oil-fired boilers, so that the temperature in the whole room is kept at about 24 degrees at all times, and the temperature outside is more than 20 degrees below zero, which is simply two worlds.

When Skerst was brought over, as soon as he entered the door, he felt a rush of heat, which was a profound experience of the characteristics of the inner and outer heavens.

Fortunately, Skerst quickly adapted, especially when he was asked to take off his coat and drink a cup of freshly ground coffee at 85 degrees Celsius at the invitation of Li Yongji, he quickly adapted to the new environment and picked up his aristocratic demeanor that he had practiced since childhood.

"This coffee tastes so good." After drinking half of it, Skester squinted slightly, nodded and smiled at Li Yongji with his coffee cup, "Rich and mellow, with a faint fruity and milky aroma, well, if my expectations are good, this should be coffee from Jamaica, right?" ”

"Hey, you can really drink it." Li Yongji nodded in surprise, "That's right, this is coffee from Jamaica, and it is coffee grown in the Blue Mountains region in the east of Jamaica's capital, and it is said to be the best Jamaican coffee." Well, to be honest, I myself can't taste the difference between coffee from different origins, I think it's almost the same taste, I didn't expect you to be able to taste it? ”

"It's nothing." Skerst smiled, "If it was coffee from other places, I wouldn't be able to taste it, but my family has always bought Jamaican coffee, so I started drinking Jamaican coffee from a very young age, and over time, I can taste whether it is Jamaican coffee or not." ”

"So, your family is quite wealthy, right?"

"It's okay." "My home is in Philadelphia, and although I don't have a lot of money in the area, I do have my own farm and ranch, as well as a fishery and a factory. Of course, if we were in Europe, our family would be famous. ”

"You're a nobleman in your family?"

"Yes." Skester nodded, "My grandfather was a duke, his fief was in the Kingdom of Bavaria, and my father also had the title of earl, so he could have inherited the duke's title and fief, but ...... Forget it, it's all old. ”

Seeing that the other party didn't want to say more, Li Yongji nodded: "Since you don't want to say it, then I won't ask." Well, I've heard people say you want to meet me, isn't that right? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

"Did you see me just to intercede with your subordinates?" Li Yongji smiled, "Let me treat everyone equally and give them more supplies?" ”

"That's true." Scrut paused, slowly put the coffee cup on the coffee table, and then said to Li Yongji, "Actually, I don't think the priority policy you issued is actually inappropriate, except for causing estrangement, it is not good for you." ”

"Oh?" Li Yongji was surprised, "Why do you say that? ”

"Because you don't have any supplies to protect you from the cold." Scester sighed, "Seriously, I was very satisfied with the logistics of our United States of America, because earlier, the United States army was the best supplied, at least much better than the Southerners.

So at the beginning of the war, none of us expected defeat, and we all thought that victory was a matter of time, after all, the strength of the Southerners was too poor. But unfortunately, after seeing the supply of your army, I feel that our supply is really too far behind, and seeing your weapons and combat effectiveness, coupled with the intervention of the British and the French, I feel that the United States is no longer sure of winning this war. ”

"Yes." Li Yongji smiled, but didn't say anything.

"Of course, that's from the perspective of a general, and it doesn't represent the whole story." "Back to where it started, I said you don't need to announce that priority policy, it makes sense. ”

"What's the point?" Li Yongji asked.

"The reason is that a prioritization policy is a lot of dissatisfaction." "If I were you, I would have announced that I would treat everyone equally, and announce that the cold materials would be distributed equally." Of course, the equal distribution is only a matter of words, but in fact because our people are all captives and completely dependent on your supplies, even if you give us less things, we don't know, we just think that everyone is like this. ”

"I see." Li Yongji nodded, "You mean that I can not publicly release that priority policy, but quietly implement it internally, ostensibly or engage in equal distribution?" ”

"Yes." "The soldiers' vision is very limited, and they can't know the details, so they listen to what they say." Today's blizzard is sudden, even if the cold materials issued to them are insufficient, they will not have much complaint, after all, in their minds, you are also trapped here, and the supplies must be insufficient.

If you can get them to think like that, they will honestly continue to stay, but if you issue that priority policy and make it clear that you want to give priority to your own people, and they are the last, then they will be resentful and feel that they have been abandoned, and they will have a riot because of their dissatisfaction, or even a riot, and then you will feel a lot of headaches. ”

"Riot?" Li Yongji smiled, "Those prisoners are unarmed, in the face of our army's machine guns and artillery, do they dare to riot?" ”

"What's not to dare to do." Skerst said lightly, "They didn't riot before, but they were afraid of it, but if you make them feel that if they don't riot, they will freeze to death and starve to death, then what's the problem with rioting when they are all dead on the left and right?"

I can say that they haven't reacted yet, once people continue to die of illness or freeze to death, when the panic is even more severe, as long as someone has a heart to provoke, everyone will riot because of fear, and at that time, even if you can suppress it in time, but the price you pay is probably not small, at least, your plan to send them to work in Hollywood will not come to fruition. ”

"Mmmm, that seems to make sense." Li Yongji nodded.

"Of course." "I say this for their own good, and for your own good, and it's a good idea for everybody." ”

"Well, even if you convince me." Li Yongji said, "When I go back, I'll have people remove that priority plan and change it to what you said 'treat everyone equally', which is always okay, right?" ”

"Thank you, Commander." Skerst smiled and nodded.

"But let's be honest." Li Yongji continued, "What you just said seems to be helping your compatriots, but as you said, there is a lot of room for maneuver in the 'non-discrimination' here, in other words, it is likely that the treatment of the captives is the same as before, and it cannot be compared with our supplies at all." So, why are you saying such a thing to me? No matter how you look at it, it's all for my sake, right? ”

"The reason is simple." Skerst squinted and smiled, "I want to use this method to show my sincerity, because I want to stay and play for you, and I don't want to play against the nations again." ”R1152
