Chapter 181: Establishing the Foundation

The flames brought up by Zhang Longchu, who had turned into a giant bear, slid from the sky, and the big tree he had just stood on was more than 20 meters high and needed to be surrounded by three people, which instantly turned into a burning giant torch, emitting smoke that soared into the sky.

The smoke was not only like a battle flag dancing in the wind, but also like a horn, as soon as it appeared, it caused thousands of heroic spirit soldiers on the ground to shout in unison, "Wan Sheng...", and launched an attack on the city in the distance, but the first person was on the ground, leaped up, crossed a distance of hundreds of meters with a volley of fire, and jumped to Zhang Longchu, who was at the forefront of the heroic spirit army.

I saw his four extremely fat bear paws running and jumping, and when he landed on the ground, he left traces of magma overflowing on the forest floor, and ran to the dilapidated city in front of the ruined city, and suddenly the person stood up and slammed the huge body that was almost 10 meters away after the transformation and like a mountain into the city wall.

Suddenly, an indescribable high temperature turned the masonry and mud that came into contact with Zhang Longchu's fur into magma and dripped to the ground, and then Zhang Longchu heard a roar of "roar...", and a stream of lava burst through the earth's crust like a volcanic eruption, shattering half of the city wall, revealing a gap with a diameter of more than 50 meters.

If it were an ordinary army, I am afraid that it would take steely willpower to dodge and attack with the gap opened by Zhang Longchu in such a high temperature and slow flow of lava, but for the Heroic Spirit Warrior who is attributed to alchemy life, all this is not a problem.

After seeing Zhang Longchu break through the city wall, the Heroic Cavalry and Chariot troops that followed him rushed straight into the city, followed by a huge infantry force. Unfortunately, after they only killed less than 100 enemies, there were no more resistors, and the huge county town fell. Zhang Longchu's imposing attack became a joke.

Later, from the mouths of the survivors in the city, Zhang Longchu learned that the initial stage of the civil strife in the Maibiqi Mountains designed by him had been controlled because of the existence of three mountain leaders, Tuba, Gu Tepansi, and Mudolang.

It wasn't until Tuba, who was a silver life, didn't know what bad luck he had, and was shot through the head with a sniper rifle during a negotiation and died on the spot, which caused Gu Tefansi and Mu Duolang to have a different mind in their hearts, and they planned to take advantage of the leaderless dragons in Shannan County. It was only by dividing it up that the war would escalate into a truly large-scale armed conflict.

However, to the surprise of Mu Duolang of Shanbei County and Gu Tefansi of Shanzhong County, the war potential of Shannan County, which had long been the strongest county in Maibiqi Autonomous City, turned out to be even more terrifying than they expected. The imaginary scene did not happen, and the battle situation fell into a state of stalemate like a meat grinder.

And the greater the casualties and losses, the more difficult it will be for Mu Duolang and Gu Tepansi to ride the tiger, whether it is to explain to the leading forces and the people. It is also the revenge that Shannan County may launch in the future once it escapes this catastrophe. All of them can only fight to the end.

In this way, the civil strife in the Mebizzy Mountains, with a total population of 600,000 and a total of 60,000 soldiers, fell into an uncontrollable stage, and the attacking and defending sides began to use their abilities without leaving any hands, or divided their troops to attack the other city, in the delusional hope of falling in the rear to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop;

Or make a feint on the frontal battlefield, quietly sending out task forces to cut off the enemy's supply lines, intending to starve the enemy to death. So much so that later, even such shady tricks as poisoning water sources and kidnapping hostages were used, so that the war naturally involved civilians from the soldiers.

In this case. Shannan County, which was inferior in terms of both the number of troops and material reserves, was gradually losing to the combined forces of Shanbei and Shanzhong counties, and it was worth being forced to claim conditional surrender.

But on the day of the negotiations, the Shannan military leaders, who knew that they had caused so many losses to the enemy, and that they would never be able to survive several surrenders, at most they could temporarily survive for a while, and they might suffer humiliation, but they swallowed the capsule bomb into their stomachs, evaded many inspections, and detonated it during the negotiations, and the opponents who participated in the negotiations, Mu Duolang and Gu Tefansi;

and the vast majority of high-ranking officers in Shanzhong and Shanbei counties, all of whom perished.

Although the civil strife in the three counties of the municipality of Maibiqi has been regarded as a long tradition that has lasted for hundreds or thousands of years, it has never had such a bloody feud, and without the control of the chief, the war has suddenly turned from an exchange of fire between the army to a bloody conflict among the people.

Those familiar with the history of war know that military conflicts are much more serious than civilian conflicts, but in fact most large-scale humanitarian disasters are caused by civilian conflicts.

Pregnant women, babies, the elderly... Soldiers seem to be iron-blooded, but when they raise a butcher's knife, they will be a little afraid of humanity;

On the contrary, the most ordinary people are the most unscrupulous when they fall into a state of madness, no matter who the target is, they kill without mercy, and it is precisely because of this that the tragic situation in Shannan County at this time has been caused.

According to statistics, there were at least 80,000 or 90,000 people living in Shannan County, but there were less than 20,000 people left at this time, and this was the case in the city, and it is not difficult to guess what the situation was like in the mountain villages and towns outside the city.

Standing in the ruins, listening to the inventory results reported by Hong Shan, Zhang Longchu frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally thought helplessly: "What a hell, I didn't expect the situation in the Maibiqi Mountains to get out of control to this point, and now I, the invader, seem to be the savior..."

After he immediately recruited a few scrawny surviving mountain people to nominally join the team, he threw away the signboard of the security company and reorganized the armed forces he led into the new defense force of the autonomous city of Mebiqi.

Zhang Long was the commander of the Autonomous Defense Force, and all retired non-commissioned officers and security cadets who were willing to abandon the favorable conditions of the previous security company and accept the regular military law and enjoy the treatment of regular soldiers were automatically transformed into defense officers and soldiers.

For retired non-commissioned officers and security cadets, this change is a choice of money and future.

However, in view of the strong strength shown by Zhang Longchu, they felt that there was no chance of being injured or dying on the battlefield, so the choice of one of the two became a simple multiple-choice question, and everyone voluntarily changed their identities to join the Autonomous Defense Force, so that Zhang Longchu completed the transformation from a wealthy businessman, a manor owner, and a Datok to a small warlord in just one day.

After the completion of the reorganization of the troops, Zhang Longchu left only 100 troops to escort the disarmed more than 10,000 mountain people to move to the plains, and he led the remaining troops to march towards Shanzhong County.

Immediately after that, Zhang Longchu made a public statement saying that when he took back the leased manor that had been seriously damaged by the civil strife in the Maibiqi Mountains, he was shocked to find that the war had caused the city to fall into a state of disorder and led to a terrible humanitarian disaster, so he asked all domestic and international forces to give humanitarian relief to the Maibiqi Mountains.

At the end of this statement, Zhang Longchu made it very simple to state that he had been temporarily elected mayor of the municipality and commander of the defense forces under the election of the remaining Mebiqi mountain people.

On the day of the release of this statement, before all the relevant forces in Malaysia could react, the Malay Emperor Pradu I suddenly issued an edict, explicitly praising the benevolent mind of Datuk Teo Long Chu, and saying that the central government would allocate a part of the material assistance to the municipality of Maibiqi.

The most important key to this edict is that the Malay government recognized Zhang Longchu's status as a warlord, allowing him to pass the most difficult barrier in one fell swoop.

Since then, Zhang Longchu has been able to apply to the Malaysian Ministry of Defense for the rank of major general of the local armed forces without being refused, and the formation of local governments and autonomous forces is equivalent to obtaining official status.

For example, when Liu Junshan recruits armed personnel again, he can directly use the name of the Mebizzy Autonomous Army, and the same treatment is to join a security company formed by a private wealthy businessman or join a regular local army, in Southeast Asia, a country with relatively conservative folk customs, the answer is naturally self-evident;

The same was true for the resumption of trade, with a completely different effort to contact the major trading companies, shipping companies and estate owners in the name of the municipality of Mabiqi, and soon the two ports in the north and south of the Mabiqi Mountains were restored to their basic functions.

The situation is constantly developing in the best way, but there are hidden dangers, the most terrible of which is that in order to resettle tens of thousands of surviving tens of thousands of mountain people, and to improve the ability to protect themselves, the massive expenditure of expanding the army has made Zhang Longchu's finances close to the brink of collapse.

In early winter, the climate on the seaside peninsula is warm during the day but quite chilly at night.

The manor of the lord of the former Sarawak royal family of the Shachong Ba family, and the side hall of the current residence of the commander of the defense army of Maibiqi Autonomous City, Zhang Longchu frowned and sat on the blanket under the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the fallen leaves scattered outside the window, and said faintly: "There is no bank willing to give us a loan, so how about asking our Emperor for help again?" ”

"General," Liu Junshan addressed Zhang Longchu with the most common title for the warlord leaders of Southeast Asian countries, and replied with a wry smile: "Pradu I has admitted that our occupation of the Maibiqi Mountains is already a great favor, and now that the cowardice of the royal family of Sarawak has spread throughout Malaysia, his goal has been achieved, how can he care about our life or death." ”

"Hey, it's that I'm thinking too simply, it's just a pure exchange of interests, after the transaction is completed, our Majesty, who is ambitious and talented, but has outrageously good luck, will indeed not care about us anymore." Zhang Longchu sighed and said: "Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that the Maibiqi Mountains are too remote, we have the arms smuggled by Huaguo, and we are desperately expanding the army, I am afraid that we would have been ...

By the way, smuggling arms, the payment for smuggling arms must be given first, those arms are now our lifeblood, at least we must gather a mixed division equipped with Chinese weapons, we can be considered to have enough deterrent. (To be continued.) )
