Chapter 217: To Kill or Not to Kill?
In Liu Zhi's impression, although the entire Indonesian alliance is united and warlike, and the population is large, nearly one-third of their army is composed of slaves, and the combat power is not strong, and the most important thing is always the huge number of soldiers, and they are very small compared to the neighboring India and Arabia, the number of outstanding commanders is very small, except for this guy in front of him, the military talents who can get on the table, I am afraid that they can be counted on one hand, Liu Zhi's original plan was to conquer this camp and return, and take a detour to the sphere of influence of the Chinese Federation. See if you can collect a few cattle people, and then go to the Western European Union, pass through the river fortress, and finally return to the Guizang Mountains.
But now, he dispelled this idea, the accidental death of this Singaporean, which means that the Indonesians have lost the only military god-level figure in their previous life, Liu Zhi doesn't know if there will be other people who will come out, turn the tide when the storm comes, and become another hero created by the times, these are not important, in short, the occurrence of this incident made him make a new decision - to lead the army to completely clean up the Indonesians' sphere of influence, and all the foreigners he met along the way, he would take them away and throw them to the Arabian or Chinese Federation.
Without foreign slaves, the Indonesians would not have been able to complete the accumulation of primitive capital, and the religion they believed in did not allow them to drive their own people as slaves, and their surroundings, whether it was India, Japan, Arabia in the northeast, or the South American Union in the northwest, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Egypt in the southwest, and even the United States across the river, each of them was not easy.
In order to survive in this environment, the first thing Indonesians have to do is to complete internal unification, and the previous slavery system is definitely not effective, after losing the lower base of slaves, their superstructure will also change, and it is likely to take the road of democracy or republic, Liu Zhi is more inclined to democracy, because the efficiency of the democratic government is higher, although often due to the lack of comprehensive consideration of the problem, it is easy to cause the expansion of social contradictions, but when the external struggle is relatively fierce, this road is the best to take, It is also easier to unite the broad masses of the people.
Of course, Liu Zhi will also help them secretly, and replace the people in power in each camp with people who advocate democracy and freedom, so that in the process of Indonesian unification, Liu Zhi can deal with India, Japan and Western Europe with peace of mind, and when Japan and India are cleaned up and troops are in Indonesia, these guys must still be in civil strife - the democratic ideas of the rulers and the absence of slaves determine the smooth path of their democracy, and also take away the compromise in their democratic system, and there is no bowing to foreign enemiesCoupled with the lack of a brilliant military commander, the process of unification must have progressed slowly, at least until Liu Nao's conquest of India and Japan, and the Indonesians could not complete the unification, at most forming a pattern of several parties.
When the time comes, Liu Zhi only needs to choose a random person to help him eliminate the hostile forces and complete the reunification, these Indonesians who are fed up with the civil war, not only will not have the slightest hatred for Liu Zhi, the culprit, but may be grateful, let them join the Chinese Federation willingly, and wait for the dispatch, it is also a simple thing to think about, it can be said that it can be counted in one fell swoop.
Liu Zhi thought about it for a long time, and went through the details that needed to be paid attention to in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was really good, the feasibility was very high, and the plan had been decided, he looked up and asked Fang Shaochuan: "Have the battle losses been counted?" How many people died in the third battalion and four companies? ”
"Well, the statistics are out." Fang Shaochuan said: "The third battalion and the fourth company fought eighty-five people, fourteen were killed, and the rest were all wounded, especially the company commander Er Xiaoguang was the most seriously injured, covered with a full thirty-six wounds, if the battle didn't end quickly enough, the deputy company commander Ding Yuanqing helped him stop the bleeding in time, Er Xiaoguang was afraid that he would not survive." ”
There was a slight admiration in his expression, Er Xiaoguang's bravery in this battle, which could be seen from the number of wounds, paused, and continued: "In addition, the previous pursuit process and the final head-on decisive battle, the soldiers of the third battalion and the fourth company killed more than 930 enemies and captured more than 1,800 people, and about 1,000 Indonesians in their early 1,000s escaped from all sides, I have sent the second battalion to chase, and now the snow is not falling much, and the traces on the snow are obvious, and most of the people should be able to be captured." ”
Liu Zhi nodded, his heart was surprised and happy, eighty-five people defeated four thousand Indonesians, not only beheaded the thief chieftain, but also captured a total of more than 1,000 people before and after, such a brilliant record, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can be recorded in history, he took the opportunity to ask: "What about Er Xiaoguang?" Has the injury stabilized? ”
"Stabilized, I've sent someone to detain him." Fang Shaochuan said.
"Seizure?" Liu Zhi twisted his eyebrows and said, "He violated military discipline?" ”
Fang Shaochuan didn't know how to speak, he knew that in Liu Zhi's heart, military discipline was greater than everything, even if he violated it, there would never be any emotion to talk about, although Er Xiaoguang had made great contributions, he also blatantly violated military discipline, and innocently killed more than ten prisoners of war. Fang Shaochuan originally did not detain Er Xiaoguang, but Duan Qi, who arrived one step ahead of Liu, obviously knew the seriousness of the matter, and directly removed Er Xiaoguang from his position as company commander and sent four guards to be responsible for guarding him.
Because with Liu Zhi's character, it's okay to take the initiative to admit his mistakes, if he doesn't admit it, he will face severe punishment by military law, Duan Qi, as a direct official, naturally does not want to lose such a strong general, and it is not good to come forward to help Er Xiaoguang intercede, so he can only ask Fang Shaochuan to come over and say something.
Fang Shaochuan told Er Xiaoguang about killing the prisoners of war as it was, and finally glanced at Liu Zhi, who had a gloomy face, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhi, I think that although Er Xiaoguang is at fault, it is also for a reason, and the tragedy of the massacre of the city is changed to me, and it is estimated that he will lose his mind, and he has indeed made a great contribution this time, do you see if the merits can be offset and the punishment be lightened?" ”
Liu Zhi frowned and fell into a deep groan, he felt that it was very difficult to do, this battle Er Xiaoguang won quite beautifully, beautiful enough to write military textbooks, so that the active and future officers can study hard, but Er Xiaoguang committed military discipline again, and it is a military discipline that is so serious that it must be executed, on the one hand, it is a fierce general with unlimited potential, and on the other hand, it is a military law that no one can offend, at this moment, Liu Zhi is no longer so simple as feeling a headache, and even has the heart to read the file again.
From the perspective of facts, Er Xiaoguang's behavior is indeed too reckless, even if those Indonesian soldiers don't kill, after the trial, they will inevitably die, no matter how bad it is, it will be a life of hard labor, but Er Xiaoguang does it himself, the nature is completely different, it is a contempt for military discipline, and he can't control his emotions, today he dares to take the lead in slaughtering prisoners of war, what should I do if I slaughter civilians in Japan? What if you take a fortified city and order the slaughter of the city because of the heavy losses?
As the commander of the first army, Liu Zhi must take all aspects into account, and it is absolutely undesirable to act in a high-spirited manner, and he must proceed from the overall situation and the long term.
With a light sigh, Liu Zhi finally retracted his thoughts, and the other party Shaochuan said: "Merit must be rewarded, and crime must be punished, but merit and demerit do not exist, you directly tell Duan Qi and deal with it according to military law!" ”
