Chapter 299: Sowing the Flame of Resistance
The Eagle Army's retreat without a fight suddenly opened the door of the French coalition army's self-assured rearguard, and the commander of the garrison, who knew that the situation in Daman Dao was out of control, gave the order to withdraw to the Indochina border in advance. At the same time, he sent a telegram to the country to protest against the treacherous abandonment of allies by the Eagle Army in Daman.
In the face of the protests of the French Union, the Eagle State government said very calmly that this was the transfer agreement he had signed with Long Huaguo itself. Originally, in order to take care of them, it was delayed for a long time.
Therefore, this protest of the French government is completely vexatious, and on the contrary, it is a trick to blame the French government for wanting to point the spearhead of defeat at the Eagle government, so as to divert the domestic people from protesting against the current government after learning the news of the defeat.
The two former allies naturally had a war of words because of this matter, compared to the French Coalition began to realize how unworthy this war was. However, the government of the Eagle State reneged on the treaty of alliance with the French allied government and wantonly embezzled the interests of the French allied countries in Indochina.
At this time, the French government, which understood what it meant to be worried about internal and external troubles, contacted the Longhua Foreign Liaison Department, hoping to stop the battle that was still carrying out the liquidation and blocking the retreat of the French army. At the suggestion of some parliamentarians who realized that there were no allies to speak of from each other, and that it was more about their own interests, they began to improve relations with the Eagle State government, hoping to prevent the Eagle State from annexing Indochina.
It is a pity that the reply of Longhua's Foreign Liaison Department and the reaction of the Eagle State government are all clearly told to them. When you eat the meat in your mouth, it is naturally impossible to spit it out easily. The Longhua Foreign Liaison Department unceremoniously told the French government that it would bear all the responsibility for the war compensation for their interference in Longhua's internal affairs and provoking a war.
Anyway, in the middle of this battle. The East China Army also caught a lot of French soldiers who abandoned their weapons and surrendered, as for those Asanjun Army are under the supervision of the East China Army at the moment, they are building bridges when they see mountains and roads! Although the captives of the French coalition army did not do as hard as the three armies, they also had to work hard to harvest the prisoners' food for three meals a day.
As for the protests of these French officers and soldiers, this was an act of mistreatment of prisoners by the East China Army, and the officers and soldiers of the East China Army also clearly told them. didn't shoot them, but also for the sake of their lives. It's not impossible to do something if you want to, that is, to directly cut off their food for three meals a day. Anyway, the East China Army also felt that there was no benefit in raising these prisoners and wasting food.
If they want to have enough to eat, then they must rely on labor to obtain the tasks assigned to them according to the East China Military Engineer Corps. When it's done, you'll have something to eat. If you work more, you can eat more, and if you don't work or be lazy. Then wait for the hungry belly!
On the contrary, for those of the three armies. Although it was fortunate to see that the captives worked every day, the food was still very good. Every day, there is enough white rice, and occasionally the commander of the engineering unit, seeing them working hard, will give them extra food. These Argentine soldiers suddenly felt that being a road builder seemed to be more comfortable than being a soldier under the French coalition army!
In the face of many people who feel that the three armies of Afghanistan eat more than they haode the officers and soldiers of the French Alliance. began to like to be lazy and rob the food of the three armies, and the officers and soldiers of East China would stop it at first. Later, he slowly instilled a concept in these three armies, that is, they did more work than these French officers and soldiers, so why did they have to let those French officers and soldiers eat the food they had so hard to get?
In the past, these French officers and soldiers were their superiors. Now they're all captives. Why should they be captives and oppressed by them? What's more, the East China Army, which is responsible for guarding them, likes Ah San, who is willing to endure hardships and is not lazy, not these French prisoners who like to be lazy. Therefore, as long as they are reasonable, the East China Army will help them out.
In view of the inculcation of this concept, more and more officers and soldiers of the French Union began to work without work. Every day, they waited for the three armies to have a meal, and snatched food from the hands of these prisoners of the three armies who looked to them like slaves. Over time, the fear of these bosses gradually turned into anger.
One day, a really hungry army was robbed of two meals in a row, and the three armies unceremoniously refused the extortion of the French officers and soldiers. This French Union officer and soldier, who has always felt high, naturally slapped Ah San unceremoniously, and even knocked out Ah San's meal by the way.
Seeing that the fruits of a day's hard work were overturned, this former weak but tall Ah San. Finally, he couldn't help but get angry, grabbed the French officer and soldier and beat him. It turned out that this seemingly fearful boss would be beaten to cry under his beating, and he would also be beaten to his knees and beg for mercy. At this time, this Ah San soldier realized that if a big fist is the truth, it is not bad at all!
Some of the officers and soldiers of the French Union who were ready to go over to help told them very clearly when they faced those officers and soldiers in East China who were armed with guns. This is a matter between the Ah San soldier and the French soldier, and no one is allowed to interfere. If you want to intervene, you can ask them if they have the bullet in their hands and say yes, and the result is naturally that the thin French soldier was begged for mercy by the thick-skinned Ah Sanda.
Worried that the officers and soldiers of the French Union would be killed, the soldiers of the East China Army stepped forward to stop them, and suddenly felt that they had beaten these former masters and beat the three soldiers who were very happy. He was not as worried as Ah San soldier about whether he would be shot for making trouble, but was happily told by the soldiers of the East China Army that he was a warrior who could really not be afraid of power, and made an exception for him to get another meal.
The Ah San soldiers, who felt that the officers and soldiers of the East China Army were too merciful, have since become staunch supporters of the East China Army, and they also know that if they want to gain dignity and freedom, they must have a warrior's heart to break those behaviors that seemed to be rebellious in the past. Gradually, this mentality also extended to other prisoners of the three armies.
It was not until the next day, when the number of soldiers of the Afghan Army who refused to ask for food from the officers and soldiers of the French Union increased, that these officers and men of the French Army suddenly realized. In this captive camp, they are no longer high captives, but have become the smallest and weakest objects to be oppressed. Those Ah San captives who used to let them beat and scold are not afraid of them at the moment, on the contrary, they like the pleasure of bullying them. This also means that the life of the French officers and soldiers in the prisoner camp will be more and more difficult.
Compared with many soldiers of the East China Army in the prisoner of war camp, they just felt that the prisoners of the Third Army were honest and hardworking, but they were bullied and sympathized with them. The agents of the Ministry of Intelligence who instilled the concept of resistance in the three armies also felt that a seed of rebellion against the French colonizers was quietly buried in the hearts of these captives.
When this seed sprouts, release them back into Indochina, and I believe that the French colonists who consider themselves high above the eagle there will also start to consider the danger of a fire in their backyard. In Xu Bin's words to them, as long as there is a spark in Indochina, then this spark will slowly burn.
As long as the seeds of resistance to colonization and desire for freedom are planted in that land, the future Eagle and French coalition forces imagine that they are now, and the three Argentine soldiers and civilians who colonized these Indochina countries will not be as easy as they are now. At that time, they are afraid that they will have to worry about the instability of their own back flower courtyard, instead of thinking about the territory of Longhua Kingdom.
The intelligence agent who directed this scene began to sow the seeds of this rebellion against the rule of the French army in the minds of these prisoners of the three armies. So much so that Zuihou, the French soldiers who were held in the hands of the East China Army, were ransomed by the French at a relatively high price, and the other prisoners of the Third Army were told that they were fortunate to have worked hard but were abandoned.
Because of this, their ransom also amounted to half of the French soldiers, and the French government felt that it was not worth the ransom. Therefore, they were naturally abandoned and will remain in the prisoner camp of the East China Army forever. As soon as the news came out, the prisoners of the Afghan Army in the prisoner of war camp looked at the French officers and soldiers who were sent away after paying the ransom, and laughed at them for being prisoners forever.
Just when the captives of the Third Army felt that this life was over, the officers and soldiers of East China who were guarding them quickly gave them hope. That is Xu Bin, the commander-in-chief of the East China Army, who is a leader who is very considerate of the poor masses. He expressed great regret and sympathy for the refusal of the French army to pay the ransom for the A-San captives. It was therefore decided to grant amnesty to some of the best prisoners.
As long as they cooperate with the management of the East China Army during the period of six months to one year of labor reform, they can complete all the tasks assigned by the troops. Half a year or a year later, the East China Army will give them some free travel money home on the premise of releasing them. It can be regarded as a reward for the sweat they have paid during the period of labor reform.
Although this bonus is not much, it is undoubtedly a huge wealth for these prisoners of the Afghan Army, who usually only have food to eat in the French army and never know what the military pay is. Therefore, the captives of the Third Army of Afghanistan, who were still extremely disappointed at the beginning, regained their confidence, and they only had gratitude and no resentment towards the soldiers of the East China Army who were guarding them.
When these Asan-san prisoners, who were at ease to build roads in Daman Road, began to be brainwashed and indoctrinated with the concept of overthrowing the colonial government as the master, a branch of the Indochinese version of the People's Party appeared in the camp.
All of these A-San captives who joined the BJP branch shared a common ideal, which was to overthrow the rule of Eagle and France over their people and establish a democratic coalition government like Longhuaguo. To the delight of the Indochinese party members, they were relieved of their busy and tiring work after announcing their membership in the organization.
At the beginning, Jihua received guerrilla warfare training from the Longhua Army step by step, and some of the officers and soldiers who had performed well and were also pardoned in advance, were completely instilled with the concept that Longhua and Indochina should be friendly neighbors, and were sent to Indochina one by one to carry out the so-called war to overthrow the colonial government.
This means that the back flower courtyard of the Eagle and French alliance will start to burst into flames! (To be continued......)
