Under Li Yongji's urging, a large number of cotton clothes, heating stoves, spirits, high-calorie food and color steel houses began to be transmitted from modern society, but even if Zhang Xinda and Dou Bifeng went all out to raise materials, they could be limited by the restriction of transmission tonnage, and the daily transmission volume was a certain amount, and it was impossible to meet the needs of more than 80,000 people at once, so Li Yongji simply adopted a clear level of differential treatment for this batch of new materials.

The so-called differential treatment is to divide the current owners into three levels, and different levels represent the priority of obtaining cold-resistant materials:

The first level is, of course, the Chinese, who have access to the most adequate cold-resistant materials and have the highest priority in the distribution of materials.

The second level is the Sixth Army of the Alliance Army, which followed the expeditionary force, that is, Charles's troops, although this unit is still nominally part of the alliance army, but in fact has become a mercenary of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. If you want to make an analogy, then the Chinese are the imperial army, and this sixth army is naturally the imperial army, and they can only be distributed after the Chinese have distributed enough materials.

The third level is those American prisoners and local people who belong to the Ohio Russian Regiment, these people have the lowest priority in distribution, and they must wait for the Imperial Allied Army, no, it is the Union Army that has enough to distribute the materials, or those inferior materials that others don't want, anyway, the worst.

Actually, in the previous time, which one was stronger than Li Yong's mobile phone to read novels? In terms of the daily distribution of materials, the mobile phone reading network is also divided into grades, but the level at that time is not so obvious, simply put, it is divided into two categories.

The first category is naturally the expeditionary force and the Sixth Army of the Union Army, because of the original agreement with General Charles, so the Alliance Army is different from the Chinese in terms of salary, and the rest of the food and other aspects are the same as the Chinese.

The second category is those American prisoners. Although Li Yongji regarded them as laborers, he still provided them with three meals a day. Although the meal was mostly rice and pickle soup, it was quite delicious for the American prisoners, at least much better than the previous two meals of mashed potatoes a day.

Of course, the so-called rice and pickle soup, that is for ordinary prisoners, some high-ranking officers, the treatment is still better, not to mention anything else. At least their commander Scest. General Enfield, every meal was treated with four dishes, one soup and a bread tube.

In doing so, in addition to respecting tradition and avoiding the prisoners from making trouble, Li Yongji also had the intention of dividing the US military, after all, if all the prisoners were treated equally, it would make them hate the same enemy, and it would be inconvenient to manage, but what about it. If their officers were to live more comfortably than ordinary soldiers, the situation would be different.

I have to say that Li Yongji's previous approach was quite effective, at least these prisoners were very obedient. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that those American soldiers are disheartened, or disgusted with this war.

After all, except for a very small number of high-ranking commanders such as Scester, who knew the fate of going to the west to do labor. For most of the middle and lower-level American prisoners, they did not worry about their future, or did not know what their true fate was.

Because in the eyes of those ordinary American prisoners. There is nothing to be ashamed of when you defeat and be a captive, even if you lose someone, it is better than losing your life. And the war will always be over, and after the war, these captives should be able to go home, which they have done before.

That's right, ordinary American prisoners of war are treated as traditional, most of them are farmers (the United States was not very urbanized during the Civil War), and they don't think this war for a group of is very important, and many of them are even forced to enlist in the army without reluctance, and there is a certain degree of resistance.

Moreover, according to past experience, even if the US military is a prisoner, when the war is over, they will eventually exchange with each other, so sometimes it is safer to be a prisoner, at least there is no need to be forced to go to the battlefield all day long, and there is no need to eat those unpalatable mashed potatoes all day long.

In short, in the past, these American prisoners were quite obedient and did whatever they wanted, and Li Yongji didn't want to stay in Smith Landor at that time, and didn't let these prisoners do any work, most of the time they basked in the captive circle when they were full, so they lived comfortably.

But now it's different, now in the face of this sudden snowstorm and the shortage of cold materials, it is impossible for Li Yongji to treat his real own people for the sake of these captives.

As for some previous friendly practices, such as providing some heating stoves to American prisoners when the storm hit, but that was just some spontaneous behavior, and the coalition soldiers and Chinese below could not look at it and took the initiative to provide heating materials to those prisoners.

The reason for these friendly practices, in addition to the natural kindness in human hearts, there is also an important reason, that is, everyone has never worried about materials until now, so in their opinion, especially in the eyes of the Chinese, even if they give things to those prisoners, it is not a matter to go to the logistics office to get a new batch of them after they are finished.

However, when the logistics staff made it clear that the heating materials were insufficient, and the principle of priority was announced, those little kindness and the like disappeared, after all, even if it was kind, in this extreme world, everyone had to give priority to ensuring their own lives, who knows how long this ghost weather will last, and who knows if they have no heating materials, can they survive this blizzard.

In addition, in order to prevent a series of problems arising from the new supply law, Li Yongji specially ordered the guards of the prisoners to be strengthened, and the number of defenders was at least doubled, and another layer of barbed wire was pulled outside the barbed wire fence besieging the prisoners to ensure that the other side could not gather to make trouble.

Of course, Li Yongji didn't care at all, but provided a batch of spirits and cotton clothes, the food was slightly strengthened, and even provided a batch of special anti-inflammatory drugs, and the management was completely decentralized, so that they could find a way to get through this difficulty.

In other words, as long as the captives do not leave the captive camp inside the barbed wire, they will have no problem, and they will transport supplies into it on time, and if they want to storm the captive camp, then don't blame them for killing.

"It's too much, it's too much!" Adjutant Wells, dressed in snowflakes, angrily broke into the tent and confronted Skerst, who was wearing a Union Army uniform and sitting silently beside a kerosene stove to bake the fire. Enfield exclaimed. "General, they didn't take us seriously at all, this is an insult, a great insult!"

"What's the matter, so angry?" Scester looked at his adjutant and said lightly, "I guess, could it be that young Commander Li disagrees with me?" ”

"Yes!" Wells turned around first and closed the zipper door of the tent behind him, preventing the wind and snow from intruding. Only then did he walk to the heating stove, and while stretching out his hand to bake the fire, he said to Skerster, "I went to meet with the guards and asked to arrange a meeting between you and that Commander Li, but they directly refused my request. I said that you don't report it, what if something goes wrong? Who knew that they said that Commander Li was now busy with the cold relief work, so they would not bother him at this time...... Checkmate. I think they just want to make things difficult for us, and they don't want you to meet that Commander Li at all! ”

"Forget it." Skerst sighed, "I'd better go myself." ”

With that, Scist stood up. As soon as you tidy up your clothes a little, it's time to walk out.

"Wait, General." Wells hurriedly picked up a thickened military coat and draped it over Skerster, "It's too cold outside." You still wear this. ”

"Hmm." Scester nodded noncommittally and continued to walk forward.

Soon, Skerst was out of his tent. As soon as he stepped out of the zipper door, a biting cold wind mixed with snow particles blew in his face, making Scyster shiver instinctively.

Tightening the military coat on his body, Skerst walked to the sentry booth outside, accompanied by Wells, who had caught up.

As soon as he walked into the rectangular guard box covered with a thick layer of snow, a person suddenly rushed out of it, which startled Skester.

The reason is simple, this person is dressed too differently to be familiar with Scester.

If you look closely, this person is white from his hat to his feet, and this white does not mean that he is covered with snow, but that his clothes are originally white.

In addition to the white clothes, the man's face is wearing a large mask, blue-green reflective sunglasses on the mask, black fur gloves on his hands, and a submachine gun with a white freeze jacket on his back.

All in all, this is a very weird-looking outfit that Skester has never seen before, no wonder Skester is startled at first sight.

Seeing that Skerst was stunned, the white-covered man nodded, took the initiative to pull down his mask, and said in a slightly fluent London accent: "It turned out to be a general, why are you here at this time?" ”

As soon as he heard the other party speak, Scist came back to his senses, because the other party's tone was very familiar to him, and it was the guy named Don.

Tang is naturally not really called Tang, in fact, it is his surname, his full name is Tang Nianzu, his ancestral home is Guangdong, when his father's generation, he went to Nanyang to wander and settled in Singapore, and this Tang Nianzu is a Chinese born in Singapore.

When Li Yongji turned against the Manchus and defeated the Russian expeditionary fleet, whether it was the British, the French, the Dutch, or the Spaniards, all foreigners no longer dared to bully overseas Chinese at will, and their attitude towards the Chinese changed 180 degrees.

This apparent change of attitude, coupled with the great victory over the Russians, made these overseas Chinese rejoice and support Li Yongji's regime from the bottom of their hearts.

When Li Yongji officially registered as emperor and formed the Chinese Empire, this support was raised to a new height, and because of the success of Huang Kuan and others, as well as the rumors that Li Yongji reused overseas Chinese as officials, there was a wave of return to China in the overseas Chinese circle, especially in the Nanyang Chinese circle, to return to China and serve the new dynasty.

It was at that time that Tang Nianzu, who was only eighteen years old, began to join other friends, riding the wave of returning to China to serve, came to the Chinese Empire, and with full enthusiasm, he took the initiative to sign up for the imperial court, hoping to gain a place in the new dynasty with his own talents.

To put it bluntly, there is a desire to serve the imperial court, but in the final analysis, the reason why these overseas Chinese are so crazy to return to China is because of rumors that they can become officials.

You must know that in the past Manchu era, overseas Chinese were not treated by the Qing court, once they returned to China, let alone let you be an official, it would be good if they could not scrape your three layers of oil.

However, after the establishment of the Chinese Empire, it showed that it would reuse overseas Chinese, and it also showed that it would open up the country and carry out maritime trade, coupled with the endless high-priced and scarce materials in the country, which of course made these Nanyang Chinese wandering outside happy.

Others don't mention it, this Tang Nianzu was bent on achieving a career, but unfortunately the domestic situation at that time made it even more difficult to become an official, because there were too many exams, and although Tang Nianzu said that he knew some English, his ability in other aspects was not good, especially mathematics, which was even worse and outrageous.

But he was unwilling to give up like this, so when he heard that there was an opportunity to become an official, he immediately signed up, who knew that it was a ship to the western colonies of North America, and when he got on the ship, he regretted it, but at that time he couldn't leave at all, so he could only continue.

Later, he moved to the Red Fort in Hollywood, Los Angeles, where he became a translator because he knew English.

Of course, he was unwilling to live this kind of life, so he heard that the new Li Yuanzheng was going to form a new army, the salary was very high, and he could return to China once he succeeded, so he signed up for the army and became a staff officer in the army, or a civilian personnel.

Originally, he was still a little worried, but after discovering that his weapons were far superior to the enemy, every battle was not thrilling, it was purely abusive, and the treatment was quite good, he liked this kind of military life instead.

Later, Smithland's Ohio Russian regiment was completely annihilated, and because of his tall stature and good looks, he was specially taken out by the troops as a special envoy to communicate with General Schurst.

That's right, Tang Nianzu is the exclusive translator of Skerst, and the reason why this is so is also related to the capture policy of the expeditionary force.

As mentioned earlier, after Skerst was captured, he had a face-to-face exchange with Li Yongji, and his original intention was just to ask for higher treatment for US prisoners and to maintain his dignity.

But Li Yongji didn't eat Skerst at all, and as he talked, he actually told Li Yongji's true purpose, and clearly told Sù Skerst that even if the war ended, he would not let them go, but would use these American prisoners as free labor, and let them go to the west to build roads.

Of course, this made Skerst very angry, but under the eaves, there was no way to resist at all, and in the end people still fainted.

In any case, things are already like this, and they can't be killed casually, after all, the impact is not good, so Li Yongji put Skester in solitary confinement, which is called special preferential treatment, in fact, he is to separate him from those American prisoners, so that they can not contact them casually, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, the matter of letting American prisoners work as laborers is not something that can be said at will, otherwise those American prisoners would not be so honest and would definitely riot, because they all thought that when the war was over, they would be able to go home.
