Chapter 179: On the First Overseas Base
"Your Excellency, most of the Bosnian natives on Oahu have sent emissaries expressing their willingness to submit to the Han Empire, and have also sent a number of local souvenirs as tribute. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" said Mondora with a flattering smile.
"Well, how much labor has been captured to build port facilities?"
"About 1,000 men and 500 women, Bosnian women do some manual labor all year round, and they can do a lot of work to build the port."
Major Wang Gang looked a little displeased, and held back his eyes at Mondola: "The number of people is still not enough, and besides, why is there such a big gap between men and women?" Didn't I say that all the young and strong labor force should be kept alive as much as possible? ”
Mondola was slightly embarrassed and said, "This ...... There were a lot of women captive, but in the process of detention, some of the soldiers who drifted on the sea all the year round couldn't control it, so they went through a little bit of ruthlessness, so they ...... As a result, many Bosnian women are no longer available as labor......"
Wang Gang stared at Mondola for a while, if it weren't for watching Mondola pay homage to his three native girls, a big demerit would never have been able to escape!
However, a really severe punishment may be able to open the net, but what should be done cannot be discounted!
"Mondora, I don't care about the lives and deaths of the natives, but our mission must not be affected by the indulgence of the soldiers, I don't look at the process but only the results, I don't care how you lead the troops, but the tasks I assign must meet the indicators! Fifteen hundred is too little, and I'll give you three more days to double the number and bring them to the port, and make sure they'll work obediently!" ”
Wang Gang rebuked with some irritability.
Mondora slandered Wang Gang, the top boss, why didn't he give a specific amount before, and at this time he came to find fault and increase the amount of tasks, but on the surface, he looked embarrassed.
"Lord Major, the Bosnian tribes that do not obey the management have been cleared, and if the labor force continues to be searched, I need further authorization, an unlimited levy order!"
When Wang Gang heard the words "unlimited requisition order", his brows jumped unconsciously, and he looked at Mondora who bowed his head with deep eyes: "I can give you the requisition order, but are you sure to ensure the 'stability' of the natives?" I don't want to wait for the port to be built, and as soon as we leave, the brothers who remain will face the flames of revenge of the natives of Oahu! ”
The corners of Mondora's mouth drew a trace of hideousness, and he replied: "Lord Major, as long as all the main forces of our marines are dispatched and a few small caliber guns are unloaded from the expeditionary fleet to be used as infantry guns, we can completely conquer Oahu, but in that case, our loss of numbers and ammunition will become relatively large, especially ammunition, I am afraid that we can no longer support the war on the Japanese island!" ”
"Conquer Oahu once and for all? Then it won't be of much interest to the empire, we just need enough labor, and the soldiers in the Marine Corps are all old men, and if we lose too much, we won't be able to please either of us! ”
Listening to Wang Gang's tone of thinking about the lives of the soldiers, Mondola felt a burst of disdain in her heart, when did the Han officers cherish the Indian soldiers so much?
Do you really think you're a chick?
The major is probably just afraid of getting bogged down in the quagmire of war on Oahu!
Hehe, if Lao Tzu hadn't fought with the Bosnians, maybe he would have taken care of it, but now, those scum are destined to be conquered!
"Lord Major, you are too worried, the resistance of the Bosinian natives is very weak, the armament is almost equivalent to the level of the Stone Age, they don't even have mature iron smelting technology, we just need to learn the colonization methods of the Spaniards in South America, win over the natives at the bottom, clear the upper class of those tribes, and treat the defectors well......"
Wang Gang listened to the explanation of Mondora, who had already had an in-depth understanding of the Bosnian natives, nodded, and said, "Okay, I will give you authorization, as for the ammunition problem, I will discuss with the admiral of the expeditionary fleet, as long as a ship is sent back, the ammunition supply problem should be solved."
Presumably, His Majesty the Emperor must be very interested in taking full control of this large island in the center of the Pacific Ocean! ”
With some encouragement, Mondora finally got the coveted authorization and strength, pulled out several cannons from the fleet, followed Mondora's marines, and touched the nest of the Bosnian natives who had already figured out the location!
This time, it is no longer a superficial conquest, but a complete occupation, who told you natives, except for some beautiful tributes, that you didn't even send a single slave clansman?
You brought it on yourself!
Mondora thought gloomily in her heart, if it weren't for these superficially obedient native tribes who directly ignored the echo of the labor contribution, the Han Empire expeditionary fleet would not really attack them!
In the summer of the 14th year of the Han Dynasty, the war on Oahu, which lasted for several months, came to an end, and the process of colonization was inevitably accompanied by inhumane bloodshed.
These Bosnian natives are not the opponent of the Han Empire marines in frontal combat, but they can give full play to their advantages in the jungle, traps, ambushes, and even wild beasts and mosquitoes, the Bosnian natives can take advantage of them!
After a series of victories in the early stage, Mondora immediately fell into a scorching jungle battle, and if it weren't for the final plan for Mondora's large-scale burning of the jungle, I am afraid that the marines of the Han Empire would have returned with a feather......
In this battle, which lasted for several months, more than 100 Indian soldiers died in the jungle, and more than 300 people lost their combat effectiveness and recuperated in the cabin due to unaccustomed water and soil or injuries and infections......
The loss is not small, but the harvest is undoubtedly the greatest, there is no longer a Bosnian native tribe on Oahu, at most there are a small number of native warriors who escaped by chance, and there is no impact on the overall situation, and it is impossible for the few people who escaped to pose a threat to the ports of the Han Empire!
The most important harvest was that Mondola and Wang Gang obtained tens of thousands of young and strong slaves, as well as many Bosnian natives who surrendered voluntarily, accepted the rule of the Han Empire, and began to establish mixed towns in the demarcated area to facilitate the management of the imperial army!
These docile Bosnian natives will be engaged in agricultural production as freedmen of the Empire! (To be continued.) )
