Zuo Liangyu can finally breathe a sigh of relief!

More and more troops were being transferred from the country, and he didn't even know it now. How did he survive these few months!

With the negotiations between the Ming and Israel, plus the Ming army's reinforcement of Basra.

The fighting on the outskirts of Basra has calmed down, and although there are still cold guns and artillery, there are no Arabs attacking on a large scale shouting slogans.

Damascus has been reduced to rubble, and few intact buildings have been found in the city.

The rebellion in Cairo has been completely suppressed!

After all, it was there where the command of the Navy was located.

The Marines mobilized three divisions to maintain law and order in Cairo.

Marines go door-to-door to collect weapons. As long as the weapons are handed over within three days, nothing will happen.

If found, the man in the family will be shot.

In the matter of killing, the Ming Marines did it unequivocally.

Even if an old-fashioned firearm is found in the house, the man in the family will be pushed out into the street and shot in the back of the head.

According to the rules, corpses are not allowed to be collected until after sunset.

As a result, the streets of Cairo were littered with corpses.

The tactic of collecting weapons was very good, and there were far fewer attacks in the streets.

Occasional suicide attacks with no regard for their lives were beaten into a sieve by the Marines.

Without Israeli arms support, existing weapons have been confiscated. The rebels in Cairo are like water without a source and a tree without roots.

"The next step is to clean up those Kurds." Zuo Liangyu looked at the map.

To the north of Basra is Baghdad.

The city was originally occupied by the pro-Ming King Hammi, but the rebellion was initially occupied by rebels from Mosul.

The old king Hamimi was burned to death in front of the Tower of Babel because of the relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

Now, the elite of the Ming Army has been assembled on the northern front.

The defense of the Middle East, the Mediterranean coast was completely delegated to the marines.

In other words, the Marines had to independently complete the operation to retake Baghdad and then advance closer to Mosul to destroy the Kurdish rebels.

"Commander, we don't have enough men. Isn't it to let the country continue to send some over!

And those Sikhs and Gurkhas are very useful, should we also recruit some from the country. ”

The Ming Dynasty received a lot of reinforcements, but in addition to the necessary garrisons, Zuo Liangyu's army that could be used to attack Baghdad was only more than 50,000 people.

These armies had no problem capturing Baghdad, but it was a problem to control Baghdad, which had a population of millions of people.

Military occupation and control of places are two different things.

Not to mention, to continue the northward advance to Mosul.

The Kurds have a population of one million and receive large quantities of Israeli arms.

There is even intelligence that the Kurds already have their own arsenal. It can produce explosives, bullets, and mortar shells.

"Unlikely!

After all, the pressure on the northern front is even greater, and the big war is about to break out. The Central Asian Railway is building a double line!

Hiring people everywhere!

The commander was able to send us 300,000 reinforcements, and he had already done his best. ”

"But Commander, these are new recruits. There are many people from Sichuan, Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and even Guangdong.

Oh my God!

Not to mention war, listening to them have a big head.

One by one, they can't speak official language, and what they speak is their hometown, which sounds like they are listening to heavenly books. ”

The staff officer complained helplessly!

Before the Ming Dynasty, the sources of soldiers were all from Liaodong, Shandong, and Hebei, and everyone was from one place, and of course they could understand what they said.

But now the Sichuanese, Cantonese, and Jiangsu-Zhejiang people are different.

These people speak a myriad of dialects, and most of them don't speak official language. Sometimes he talks a lot while standing, and the ghost doesn't know what he's saying.

You have to have someone who can speak Mandarin to help you translate!

"There's no way, all the troops recruited from the north have gone to the northern front. They are more adapted to the cold climate of Russia!

When we got to our side, we had no choice but to give some southern soldiers a number.

However, despite the difficulties, Baghdad was still to be occupied.

After all, Baghdad is rich in bounty. If the Kurds are allowed to hold for a long time, their power will increase.

Commander, I think it's better to take advantage of these Arabs.

Our people are not familiar with the local customs and geographical conditions, but the Arabs are familiar with them.

We have captured a lot of weapons and ammunition, it is better to equip an Arab force.

Let them help us fight! "A staff officer had a whim.

"No!

It is not easy to suppress the rebellion of the Arabs, and they must not be allowed to be armed again.

Besides, do you still have to train them when you arm them?

Now we are not short of those people, but to make the Arabs forget about weapons.

If a people does not use weapons for a long time, then they will not use weapons.

This is the Marshal's Middle East strategy, and in the future, even the Arab police will only have swords and clubs in their hands, and they will not be allowed to possess guns.

Got it? Zuo Liangyu waited for the staff officer who had a bad idea.

"No!" The self-proclaimed clever staff officer hurriedly shrunk his neck.

"Commander, Da Honglu is here, I want to see you."

"Da Honglu, what is he doing here?" Zuo Liangyu frowned, not knowing what Zheng Sen was doing at this time.

"Dahonglu came to the Middle East this time to sign a peace agreement with the Hebrews. There is a clause that does not support the Arabs, so come and ...... us! ”

"Understood, arrange a table of wine. Dahonglu is here, we still have to entertain it. ”

Zuo Liangyu understood that the war on the northern front was really imminent.

Otherwise, Da Ming will definitely not give up this opportunity to kill Israel!

According to Dashuai, Israel has always been a big problem for the Ming Dynasty.

"Meet General Zuo!" Zheng Sen saw that Zuo Liangyu was very polite, and bowed down without saying a word.

"How dare you! How dare you!

On the public, you are a big Honglu, and the old man of the third grade of the official residence is barely on the same level as you.

On selfishness!

You are a student of Dashuai, and you are a first-class celebrity in front of Dashuai.

The old man is too late, how dare he accept your courtesy. ”

"Hahaha! Old general, don't say anything else. Just by virtue of your age, the boy is worthy of an uncle.

What's more, the old general in the Middle East, leading the Marine Corps to become the guarantee of our Daming oil field.

This gift of the younger generation is not excessive. ”

"In the end, it is a handsome student, the old man admires!

Please! ”

Zuo Liangyu let Zheng Sen into his headquarters!

The headquarters of the Marine Corps is not the kind of tent that used to be.

The headquarters of the Marine Corps is in Cyrenaica and is a four-story building. After all, it is the headquarters of the Daming Marine Corps, and there is still some momentum.

On the protruding marble terrace, tables are covered with snow-white cloths, and coffee cups with gold threads hold steaming coffee.

Zuo Liangyu and Zheng Sen sat on chairs respectively, enjoying the beautiful Mediterranean scenery while drinking coffee.

"The main reason for this visit to the Middle East is to sign a cease-fire agreement with Israel." Zheng Sen was drinking coffee while blowing the sea breeze.

"The marshal just let Israel go?

The three divisions of the marines in Constantinople were almost completely wiped out. Shang Kexi finally even pulled up his own guards!

Of the more than 7,000 people on the island of Malta, less than 3,000 remained.

Your agreement is easy to sign, but how can I calm the emotions of the officers and soldiers? ”

Zuo Liangyu knew that he had no qualifications to speak out in this matter.

But he still whined!

"No way!

The northern front is about to start, and the intelligence says that the total number of the Christian coalition will definitely exceed two million.

Old General Zuo!

We are facing a Christenborn world that is about the same size as the Ming Dynasty!

Their war mobilization ability may be even higher than ours.

After all, our supply lines are too long. Even with the Central Asian Railway, it is impossible to support an army of more than 300,000 people.

And you know, the consumption of the Ming army is much higher than that of other countries.

In addition to the normal consumption of food and ammunition, a large amount of fuel is required, as well as spare parts and various equipment.

Now the Central Asian railway has been used to the limit, and the double line cannot be opened in a day or two!

In this case, if you have one less enemy, you will have one less.

There was no choice but to spare the Israelis for the time being.

But this time, it wasn't to spare the Israelis. The indemnity of just one hundred million Ming silver coins is enough for their flesh to ache.

Moreover, the Ming wanted to take a stake in the Israelis bank, large factories, and power plants, and so on.

Dashuai said that this is called soft control.

As long as Israel accepts our demands, they will not want to turn over in this life. Even if they want to fight us in the future, they have no money or resources, so what will they do to fight us.

Just a piece of meat on the cutting board! ”

"Hey......!

Maybe it's destiny, if those two planes don't fall on the deck of the aircraft carrier.

Now the Israeli fleet is probably dead at the bottom of the sea, and our marines have landed in Sevastopol.

The northern and southern routes are connected to the city, and we are still afraid of them? ”

Zuo Liangyu gritted his teeth with hatred, if the two pilots who crashed into the deck of the aircraft carrier were not dead, they must be worse than dead now.

"My old general Zuo, you have a good idea. But if that happens, our front will also be more than a thousand kilometers longer.

It's impossible to have as many soldiers as you need to fill in. ”

Zuo Liangyu was speechless, Zheng Sen was right. If the Ming and Russian coalition forces take over Ukraine and Crimea, the front will not go more than a thousand kilometers.

There is really no way to fill such a big hole.

"Letting Israel cut off all ties with the Kurds is one of the secret terms of this agreement.

Secret terms, this is perhaps all the decency that the Ming can give Israel! ”

"The old man knows that Israel has now almost cut off supplies to the Arab rebels.

However, although they were cut off from supplies, they brought in so many weapons that they kept a very large number.

And the most damn head-scratching thing is that the Israelis helped the Kurds build their own arsenal.

Arsenal!

Damn, now they can produce their own ammunition as long as they have weapons.

These Hebrews don't have a good loaf! ”

Zuo Liangyu scolded viciously!

"Before coming this time, the marshal specially explained to me the strategy for dealing with the Arabs.

I also told the boy again and again, let me explain it to you!

That's the purpose of the kid coming to visit the old general. Zheng Sen took a sip of coffee and said.

"The marshal has instructions, please speak!" Zuo Liangyu's eyes widened, and he hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"Old general, we don't have such big rules now. Let's just talk about family life! ”

"This can't be done, the number of courtesies that should be there must not be wasted." Zuo Liangyu was very stubborn.

"Hey! You're always like this, how can the boy still sit.

Let's still sit and talk, and we don't want others to hear these words. ”

"Oh!" Hearing Zheng Sen say this, Zuo Liangyu could only sit down.

The marshal said that the reason why the Arabs are making trouble so far today.

As long as it is caused by the mistakes of our Middle East policy in the past!

In the past, we relied too much on the chiefs, and when we had benefits, we gave them all the benefits.

As a result, the greedy chiefs amassed a lot of wealth.

Corruption is rampant, officials are domineering, and they don't care about the lives of the people at all.

The gap between the rich and the poor is too big, and there are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat!

The Arabs have a grudge in their hearts!

This is the root cause of this great Arab uprising.

In the final analysis, the root cause is the wrong policy we have formulated.

In this case, our Middle East policy needs to be changed!

First of all, our Marines can no longer kill Arab civilians for no apparent reason. ”

"But now, the Arabs attacked us first.

Could it be that I just let my soldiers stand and let people kill if they don't fight back? Zuo Liangyu craned his neck and looked at Zheng Sen.

If this was not Li Xiao's advice, he would have turned his face and flipped the table by now.

"Old General, you are discouraged.

For those Arabs who attacked us, no one will say a word about what you should use and what means you should use.

It's just that you have to restrain your subordinates and don't kill indiscriminately like you are now.

It's like the one that caused the turmoil in Cairo, where a little boy was playing with a wooden gun.

As a result, he was killed by our marines, not only the child.

He also killed his parents and siblings who ran out of the theory!

All that was left was an old lady with limited mobility, plus a babbling child.

That's a bit excessive!

When this kind of thing happens, it's strange that the Arabs don't rebel.

Besides, I'm afraid it's not just this case that you accept the indiscriminate killing.

Some, I'm afraid you don't even know it. It's all been intercepted by those below!

No, my old general Zuo, if we do this, anyone will think of rebellion.

If you don't give people an abortion, you can't make a living! ”

"Humph!

We are soldiers, not officials in the yamen.

They are all rough people, and some things are done with their temperament. Where would think so much!

Do you want to pay for the lives of those Arab untouchables with your own soldiers? ”
