Chapter 428: Soho's Ambition
"What a pity." Looking at the empty Smithland Fortress, Soho sighed lightly, "Is it really necessary to give up a fortress that has been built so easily?" ”
"What, it's a pity?" Li Yongji beside him smiled lightly, "But there is no way, we have to leave, it is very likely that we will not bring troops here again for the rest of our lives, what can we do if we don't give up?" ”
"But is it necessary to do so much?" Soho gestured to the bombs that were being planted around the camp. Medicine and citation. Fire. The soldier of things, "The fortress we worked so hard to build, even if we leave, we can still think about it, and it will be completely destroyed like this, don't you think it's too much?" ”
"That's no way, because those all-direction support point bunkers use advanced design concepts, and the building materials are relatively advanced. If you drop it, you can slow down the other party's learning speed somewhat, and you can't figure out our reality. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yongji suddenly became puzzled: "Hey, what's wrong with you today?" Didn't you tell you about these things a long time ago, why are you still so sentimental? ”
"Perhaps." Soho smiled reluctantly and touched his slightly bulging belly, "Maybe, it's about motherhood." ”
Hearing Su Ho say this, Li Yongji nodded in understanding, and then gently patted her shoulder.
Seeing Li Yongji's action, Su Ho couldn't help but lean directly into Li Yongji's arms, his hands continued to caress his stomach, his eyes continued to stare at the quiet camp, but his gaze gradually became deeper.
Soho didn't actually tell the truth, the reason why she was so sad just now, or apprehensive, was not because she felt sorry for this camp that was about to be blasted, but because she knew that after leaving here, it wouldn't be long before she had to leave the United States completely. For the sake of returning to the country.
It's not that homesickness is more timid, but that Su He knows that once she returns to China, Li Lang can't belong to her alone, at least there is the queen of the main palace waiting there, in addition, Li Niangniang is also waiting for herself there, and even, there may be more and more women who will appear by Li Lang's side in the future, using all kinds of methods. to compete for Li Lang's favor, in short, Li Lang can no longer be like now, he belongs to himself alone.
Li Lang is when Soho and Li Yongji are alone, Soho calls Li Yongji's nickname, for this Li Lang, Soho also loves him from the bottom of his heart, in modern terms, it is love to the depths.
In the beginning. Li Yongji's feeling for Soho is a kind of alien feeling from above, fear is greater than respect, respect is greater than love. Because at that time, she was just a little lady who didn't understand anything.
But soon, because of his outstanding appearance and cautious personality. She was selected by Li Niangniang, focused on training, and was sent to the emperor's side. has become one of the twelve constants, but in fact, it is a weapon for Li Niangniang to compete for favor.
At that time, everything was as usual on the surface, but she was actually very scared in her heart, after all, she had heard a lot of commentaries in the past, and knew that the harem competition for favor had always been the most cruel.
But she didn't have a choice, because the moment she was chosen by Li Niangniang, she actually had no way out.
Later, she actually got the special favor of Emperor Li Yongji, always took her by her side, and became the new favorite, and Li Niangniang really deliberately arranged more alone time with the emperor, which also made Emperor Li Yongji pay more and more attention to her.
But at that time, the sensitive Soho understood very well that although the emperor noticed her, Li Yongji only looked at her from an appreciative angle, and there was no lust in it, and the emperor at that time had only one woman in his eyes, that is, Empress Yin Susu.
During that time, it was not that there were no women who tried to seduce Li Yongji, but without exception, they were all quickly transferred from their posts by Li Yongji, and they could no longer appear in front of Li Yongji.
That is to say, because Soho did not take the initiative to seduce, but was able to get Li Yongji's favor, and Li Niangniang really focused on Soho, asking her not to take the initiative to show goodwill, and to learn from the queen's mother, showing an indifferent and elegant look everywhere, but obedient and well-behaved, saying that the emperor only likes such women.
I have to say that Li Niangniang's vision of people is very accurate, and since then, Soho has been quietly beside Li Yongji, but Li Yongji is very fond of this, and he slowly began to take the initiative to talk to her, and even began to discuss some national affairs with her.
At that time, I really didn't understand anything, and secondly, I also kept in mind Li Niangniang's teachings, and I didn't take the initiative to speak to Li Yongji, neither overly active and unspeakable, nor cold and blunt rejection of people thousands of miles away, but what to ask and answer, what to say, it can be said that every word you have to think about and think, and you have to think twice about everything you do, and it is not wrong to say that it is frightening step by step.
Li Yongji didn't know anything about these things at that time, he was only busy with his national affairs, and he only knew about the queen alone about the affairs in the palace, and others, including Li Niangniang, were almost ignored by him.
At first, Soho thought that the other party was a ruthless person, but after slowly getting along, Soho realized that Li Yongji was not a ruthless person, he was just not good at expressing feelings, and he had a strong sense of responsibility and was more focused on doing things.
Just like during the period in North America, it was clear that Soho was only one of the six permanent members sent to serve the emperor, but soon, except for Li Yongji who chose her to live alone, everyone else stayed in Hollywood, and let them openly serve as royal female officials, and became the responsible officers of the so-called "Chinese Imperial Federation of Women and Children's Rights and Interests", which was used to help Lord Wu Tingfang deal with the rights and interests of local women and children!
Although those who are always there are indeed female officials of the royal family, and they do have the so-called rank, and they also belong to the establishment of internal affairs staff, their main task is to serve people, not to show the prestige of the royal family, to provide a channel for women and children to upload and distribute, but this is from Li Yongji's will, and they have to follow the order.
In other words, since the establishment of the department referred to as the Women's and Children's Federation, almost all the palace maids sent from China have been stuffed by Li Yongji, and only Soho himself has become Li Yongji's personal secretary. It can be regarded as a real person around Li Yongji.
Now that I think about it, this is indeed an enviable thing, because not to mention the power obtained by this, just by having an in-depth understanding of Li Yongji's personality, Soho will wake up happy in the middle of the night.
Because Soho suddenly discovered that in her past life experience, she had never met a man like Li Yongji!
This man not only has huge power, but also has extraordinary energy, extraordinary appearance, rich knowledge and gentle character, all of this. Almost any one that appears in a man is a woman's grace, and when everything is gathered together, it is a woman's ultimate dream.
Anyway, Soho himself thought about what man in this world could surpass Li Yongji's merits, or rather, such a man is something that any woman can't stop.
Even Soho was jealous in the middle of the night, jealous that the queen mother was the first to win Li Lang's favor. She could only settle for second place, but soon, she was relieved.
Because she knows that it is because Li Lang is too good. It is impossible for a little woman like her to possess it alone, and that will be a blessing and a curse.
So, Soho was so silent. silently continued to stay by Li Yongji's side, enjoying the happiness of being a Li Lang woman, and sharing everything about Li Lang. Every day is like a dream.
is the so-called migration of qi and body, after being with Li Yongji for a long time, Su Ho's vision is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more ** in his heart, not only as he said at the beginning, willing to be Li Yongji's little palace maid and little lover, but has a higher goal, and when she finds out that she is pregnant, this goal is clearer.
What exactly is the goal? Obviously, that is to become Li Lang, or the emperor's imperial concubine, and obtain a legitimate identity!
Soho knows that up to now, in Li Yongji's harem, there is only one queen, and the other concubines and concubines are all suspended, even if it is the so-called Li Niangniang, it is only a nominal title, and there is no official identity, and she is not the emperor's concubine at all.
In other words, if Soho becomes a concubine, she will be the second concubine to be officially canonized, and her position is only below the queen's mother, and she is the second most powerful woman in the harem, and at that time, even Li Niangniang will look up to herself.
In the past, Soho only thought about them occasionally, and did not form a coherent line of thought, but when she became pregnant, I don't know why, these thoughts became heavier and heavier, and even the future of the child began to be considered in advance.
If you don't say it, women's hearts and undersea needles all say that men's words can't be taken seriously, and women's words can't be taken seriously.
It is said that only men have ambitions, but in fact, women also have their own ambitions, and the key depends on what position they put in and whether they feel that they have that opportunity.
"What do you think?" Li Yongji hung Soho's nose with his hand, "In a daze? ”
"Huh?" Su Ho, who reacted, was startled, looked at Li Yongji's full face, and then regained his senses, and said with a smile, "No, it's just that I suddenly thought of the bits and pieces I had with Li Lang here before, especially the days when I shared weal and woe in the snowstorm, and I felt a little nostalgic." ”
Listening to his Wu Nong's soft words, Li Yongji also nodded with emotion, and looked at the quiet camp again: "Yes, the days in the snowstorm, well, it is indeed a rare experience." ”
Li Yongji's emotion is completely different from Soho's, he is just lamenting that he is not thoughtful.
After all, strictly speaking, that snowstorm was not expected by Li Yongji in advance, if it wasn't for Li Yongji's crazy golden finger and quickly and timely mobilized a lot of cold-resistant materials from modern times, it is likely that that the snowstorm would have caused Li Yongji's great failure.
What's even more terrifying is that because of his distress about weapons and equipment, Li Yongji stayed where he was, and as a result, the U.S. army actually took the initiative to attack, and almost broke through his own camp, leading to his own complete defeat!
Think about it, in that kind of situation where it is freezing and snowy everywhere and the troops have lost their mobility, once they fail completely, it is really difficult to say what will happen to them.
It was only after that experience that Li Yongji really attached importance to war, and no longer looked at war as a child's play or a game as in the past, but seriously considered all aspects, even if many things were not needed for a while, they had to prepare in advance.
Because Li Yongji understood a truth, there is no what ifs in war, and it is certainly very cool for modern weapons to beat modern infantry, but modern weapons also have flaws, that is, they are not tolerant of severe cold.
If it's not an automatic weapon or something, it can still be used. Firepower is still superior in an all-round way, and the soldiers' will to fight is not bad, and the troops that have lost their mobility are just a target, and they will face a huge crisis in the face of the enemy who has the initiative.
In addition, Li Yongji also learned a lesson, that is, we must not underestimate any enemy, even the so-called backward infantry of the 19th century, we must pay attention to it and be careful. Otherwise, it is still only weapons to win, this time there is no failure, and it will still fail in the end, and it is likely to plant a big heel.
Think about it, isn't the modern U.S. military in another time and space awesome? When the Korean War was fought, in terms of the difference in the generation of weapons, the gap in weapons with the Volunteer Army even exceeded the gap between myself and the Federal Army now. But even then, the U.S. military still did not achieve the final victory.
The reason is simple, before the weapon has an overwhelming force, the number and morale of the soldier are still a very important weight. Overconfidence, completely ignoring the number and courage of the other party, thinking that the idea that he can take 20,000 people to rampage against the world is invincible, sooner or later he will suffer a big loss.
It's like last time. In the battle with the New Virginia Legion, the U.S. military showed great courage and combat skills, skillfully using night battles and sneak attacks. The advanced weapons were all out of breath, and they were almost scuttled through the camp by the other party.
After the investigation, if it weren't for the fact that the other party's high-level commander's will to attack was not too resolute and did not really spare everything, then just looking at the bravery and battlefield adaptability of those low-level American soldiers, it can indeed be called a strong force!
Even, Li Yongji asked himself, if he gave his army's weapons to those US troops of the New Virginia Legion, it is very likely that his combat effectiveness would be stronger, instead of being like those soldiers he trained, who would only fight a good battle, and once they encountered a bitter and vicious battle, they would suddenly be trapped.
It is indeed a blind circle, because according to the survey statistics after the war, the losses caused by their own people in the battle are not large, and many front-line soldiers are actually frightened by the fearless charge of the US army, and they are actually soft in shooting!
In addition, not to mention those who were lazy and slept in the rear during the battle, if it weren't for their laziness, they would not have allowed the opponent's sneak attack troops to launch a surprise attack from the ice on the river surface, and in one fell swoop they eliminated their own artillery positions, causing a fault covered by heavy firepower, which in turn caused even greater confusion among their own soldiers.
All in all, it was through that battle that Li Yongji discovered that the dream master he had worked so hard to train was actually a silver-like pewter spearhead, which was useless, and it was no problem to bully people in a good fight, but once he encountered a hard bone who was not afraid of death, his combat power would be greatly reduced.
Li Yongji also reflected afterwards and realized that this was also related to his overconfidence.
You must know that the soldiers of this dream army are actually mainly immigrants recruited on the spot in Hollywood, although many people have also served as soldiers in the past, and it is said that they have some experience in the army, but many of them are local militia groups!
Those militia regiments are not comparable to the elite army trained by Li Yongji when he started, they are all real ruffians who really want nothing, except for learning bad habits, they have nothing else!
It is conceivable that such soldiers only ask for high treatment, even if they are dressed in good clothes and matched with good clothes, the military ruffians in their bones cannot be changed, at least not in the short term.
But at that time, Li Yongji did not go to the grassroots level, only responsible for the formulation of strategy and tactics, and there were many other things to be busy with, and the specific discipline and training were all handed over to Sun Xiangbing to be responsible.
When Sun Xiangbing was there, he actually understood the ruffian habits of this group of soldiers, but he did not complain, but used harsh punishment methods to restrain them, and the effect was immediate, and sure enough, the combat effectiveness was formed in a short period of time, which gave Li Yongji an illusion that the people under his command were really easy to use.
In the series of battles that followed, the troops of these Dream Divisions fought like textbooks with the help of advanced weapons and systematic training, and the results were quite good, and each time they achieved remarkable victories.
This series of victories made Li Yongji feel very satisfied, and after that, he actually made a stupid move, and let Sun Xiangbing, an indispensable black face in the army, leave before the war!
Although Sun Xiangbing's departure was for other purposes, and he was given a very important task to interrogate "people with ulterior motives", but now that I think about it, that task is actually nothing late.
It's a pity that there is no if, Li Yongji was full of confidence at that time, felt that everything was ready, and he was not afraid of anyone attacking at all, so he was relieved and boldly let Sun Xiangbing go.
And with Sun Xiangbing's departure, Li Yongji did not personally ask about discipline, and the people below quickly let go of the sheep, and all kinds of lazy and slippery methods of deception emerged one after another, and when Li Yongji did not notice it, the combat strength of the entire army began to decline seriously.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Li Yongji personally went out and finally survived, and all this also made Li Yongji make up his mind that after he went back, he would reorganize this army, only retain the number and a group of competent backbones, and those who failed to pass the screening will be dismissed, and then re-face the national recruitment, and it is necessary to create a truly invincible division!
"Since we're so reluctant, let's find a picture and keep a thought."
"Photography? All right. Soho laughed, "Then let's take a picture, but I want to be beautiful!" ”
"Good!" Li Yongji smiled, suddenly hugged Soho with his left hand, and then turned his back to Fort Smithland together, and raised the phone with the other right hand, "Come, shout together, eggplant!" ”
