Chapter 14 The fourth uncle is a fox

"Dashuai, don't you stop resting. Go south along Kursk and go straight to Kharkov.

This would threaten the rear of the French lines, cutting off their logistical supply lines. ”

After eight days of fierce fighting, the coalition forces led by Austria-Hungary in the Kursk encirclement finally ended the battle with surrender.

In the whole battle, the Ming army and the Russian army captured a total of more than 324,000 allied troops. More than 143,000 people were annihilated, and the entire central group of the coalition army was annihilated.

At the same time, the Austro-Hungarian army lost a large amount of weapons, ammunition and various equipment.

For a short time, Austria-Hungary was considered to have lost its combat effectiveness.

Li Xiao didn't speak, his eyes fixed on the map.

Everyone stood still and did not speak, and the combat command room was so quiet that even a needle could be heard.

No one dared to disturb Dashuai's train of thought at this time.

After a long time, Li Xiao finally raised his head.

Seeing that Stilwell was still watching from the side, he put down the pencil in his hand.

"No, let's rest according to the plan in advance.

Fighting in such an environment, the equipment and personnel are very tired.

The troops were exposed to a lot of problems, it was too cold, and the mortar barrels would shrink.

The shells could not be put in, and there were even explosions.

The 3rd Tank Division lost two artillery squads because of the explosion.

Also, it is very difficult for tanks to be launched in such weather.

To add side armor to all tanks, this thing has a certain protection effect on the tracks.

Most of the tanks we lost in this battle were blown off tracks by explosive packs or mines.

There were also problems with the infantry, and there were also problems with the shrinkage of the barrel.

And after fighting in the field for more than ten days, they were all very tired.

The fifteen-day rest period projected before the war was not more, but less.

It is recommended to increase to twenty days! ”

"Twenty days!" Stilwell was a little surprised, the Ming army has always had a tradition of round battles.

Even in Tsaritsyn, where troops were tight, the Ming army would try to rotate troops on the battlefield.

The withdrawn troops will be reorganized and replenished as soon as possible. Replenishment of lost equipment, replenishment of lost personnel.

Usually a company is withdrawn for two days and then returned to the battlefield with a fully equipped company.

To a certain extent, this ensured the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

But at the same time, it has also increased the need for troops on the front line.

"Commander, Tsaritsyn is holding on with great difficulty.

Napoleon was already desperate, and the French army attacked like crazy, not caring at all about human life.

As of yesterday, the French had captured a quarter of the city of Tsaritsyn.

Our troops suffered heavy casualties, and the casualties of the company that withdrew yesterday reached 30 percent. Several companies, more than half of the casualties have been lost.

It will take at least three to five days to make up for it, and some of the troops from China are unable to keep up.

...... go on like this! ”

"Tell Kutuzov to let the Russian army mobilize elite troops.

They can't just let us bleed, they stand on the sidelines and watch the excitement.

The guards in Kutuzov's hands also rested for a long time. It's time for them to come up and see the blood. ”

Li Xiao threw the pencil on the table and directly pushed the Russian army up.

"Marshal...... the Russian army can't do it!

They all have problems marching. Stilwell said helplessly.

The Ming army looked down on the Russian army.

Not because of anything else, the combat effectiveness of the Russian army is really too poor.

Many Russian soldiers not only do not have enough to eat, but they are even not warm.

There should be five catties of cotton clothes, but in fact it is not even three catties.

What is even more worrying is that ordinary soldiers can't even eat enough bread with sawn foam.

During this operation, it can be seen that the Russian soldiers are generally malnourished. I can't walk a few miles with so much physical strength!

This kind of army is a big problem, not to mention fighting, marching.

Especially now that the road is in such a state of condition, you can't walk a few miles a day.

"Tsaritsyn is a street battle without marching, good soldiers are fought, don't worry, Kutuzov is also a famous general, he understands the consequences of losing Tsaritsyn."

"No!"

Seeing that Li Xiao said resolutely, Stilwell could only do so and contact Kutuzov.

***************************

"Fourth uncle, I'm back. This time, not only did he successfully stop the Tianhe, but he also captured that Shi Lang.

The second aunt also came back and lived in the second uncle's mansion in the capital.

This errand went very smoothly. ”

Li Lin sat on the sofa in front of Li Hao, looking like a good boy who had done good deeds and was waiting to be praised.

Li Hao glanced at Li Lin, picked up a piece of music on the table, and threw it directly to Li Lin.

"What is this?" Li Lin looked at Li Hao with some puzzlement.

"You don't want to know where the oil on the Tianhe came from?"

"Oil on the Tianhe? What ...... from the Basra refinery! Li Lin was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what went wrong.

"Your second aunt embezzled a sum of money from the account of the Quanzhou Arsenal and used it to give her a mortgage.

And this money was used to buy oil for the Tianhe, now you know where your second aunt got such a large amount of money.

Twenty-eight million silver dollars, grandma's, those bastards still helped her cover up, and they were stunned to cut off a zero.

At the beginning, I was still wondering, 2.8 million silver dollars, with the second brother's family background, it is not a big number, not to the point that I can't take it out.

Now I know that these bastards fucking got a spring and autumn penmanship for Lao Tzu. ”

The more Li Hao talked, the more angry he became, and finally simply threw the pen in his hand out.

"Smack......!"

The pen landed on the floor and bounced twice.

Li Lin was taken aback, this fourth uncle has always shown himself as a young man and an old man.

But I didn't expect that today I would be as angry as a lion.

But this thing is also too appalling, twenty-eight million silver coins.

The second aunt ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and actually embezzled such a large sum of money. No wonder when she brought her back, she didn't even have the slightest intention of objecting.

It turned out that the hole couldn't be filled, so a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

With 28 million silver dollars, this hole is really big enough.

The one who can fill this hole, except for Nuwa, can only be his father.

"Fourth uncle, don't be angry, sit down and say!" Li Lin saw that Li Hao's face was flushed with anger, and he hurriedly pulled Li Hao to sit on the sofa.

He personally poured a glass of water and put it in front of Li Hao.

"The oil is now detained, but the Quanzhou Arsenal is about to stop production because of the broken capital chain.

You've just returned from the front line and know how high the demand for ammunition is at the front.

The Quanzhou Arsenal is a specialized factory for the production of naval ammunition, torpedoes, mines, naval artillery shells of various calibers.

In particular, 480 mm caliber battleship front main gun shells, as well as large-caliber rockets, are the most needed at the front.

But now ......! ”

"Fourth uncle, you take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger. There is a way, there is a way. Li Lin hurriedly comforted the uncle.

Speaking of how to deal with this matter, Li Lin didn't have a score in his heart.

If it's someone else, that's easy.

People were arrested and cut with thousands of knives, and then the family property was confiscated. The insufficient part, the oil squeezed from the bones, has to be squeezed out of the family.

But this person is the daughter-in-law of the second uncle Li Xiu, plus she is a member of the Zheng family and has the background of the Zheng family.

This makes things a little tricky!

"I don't dare to tell anyone about this yet.

It is not only related to your second uncle, but also to the morale of the people of this Ming Dynasty.

It's wartime, if the news gets out.

The whole country is in an uproar!

What will the soldiers at the front think, and what will the workers in the rear think.

Under the effect of upward and downward effects, the officials in the yamen will be even more excessive.

What the hell is this? What's the matter? ”

Li Hao said as he patted his thigh.

Li Lin didn't know what to say on the side, so he could only keep helping Li Hao comb his back.

"This is our family's own business, and many things are related to your second uncle.

Although there is no evidence to prove that your second uncle was involved, your second aunt is your second uncle's wife after all.

Now the yellow mud falls into the crotch of the pants, and it's not but is.

I can't tell!

There's a war going on again, you ......! ”

Li Hao spread his hands and complained to Li Lin angrily.

"Fourth uncle, I know everything, I know.

Don't be angry!

I believe that the second uncle will not get involved in this matter, you are brothers, how can the second uncle have a temper and temperament, can you still understand?

He's not a money-grubber!

This time I went over there to meet the second uncle, and I didn't have any other hobbies except for two sips of Moutai.

The dignified commander of the navy, drinking two sips of Moutai and smoking two cigars is not a big deal. ”

"You news, good people have made you do it. You're a monkey spirit!

Anyway, I don't care about this matter, you and your father go and talk about it.

I can't fill such a big hole.

Your second uncle's navy has run out of ammunition supplies, so don't trouble me when the time comes.

If you really want to trouble me, don't blame your fourth uncle for picking on it. ”

"Good, good! Fourth uncle, you are angry, I will go and tell my father about this matter.

Don't be like this, you're angry. ”

Seeing that Li Hao was panting with anger, Li Lin could only comfort him.

"I'm,.

I'll lie down for a while, you've just come back and you're tired, go back first. ”

Li Hao sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to relieve his breath.

"Then Fourth Uncle, you rest first, I'll go back!" When Li Lin saw Li Hao's appearance, he reluctantly stood up and walked out, and when he left, he didn't tell Li Hao's secretary to take care of the fourth uncle.

When he walked out of Li Hao's official residence and got into the jeep, Li Lin suddenly understood.

...... was made such a fuss by the fourth uncle, the matter fell on his head.

These four uncles ......, God!

No wonder Dad always says that he still needs to be experienced, the fourth uncle hangs out with a group of old foxes all day long, and now he is also a young fox.

In the office, he was "filled with righteous indignation" and put himself in.

Now, the shit left by the second aunt has to be wiped by herself.

God, the hole of 28 million silver dollars.

This butt shit is ......, and it's not easy to wipe.

Li Lin's car drove along the road to the Marshal's Mansion, and Li Hao stood in front of the office window, watching his nephew's car drive away, and Li Hao had a smile on his face.

"It's not easy for children, running around for Daming, you are so cheating on the child, be careful that he will hate you in the future."

Shi walked in, still carrying a huge food box in his hand.

That's where Shi's virtuous comes in, no matter how many things there are. Li Hao's three meals a day are all from this lady's hands.

Li Hao and Shi have a deep relationship between husband and wife, and they have not blushed or quarreled in the past few years since they got married, and it is not without reason.

"Look at what to eat at noon?

Yo! Leek box, nice, nice!

That's it! ”

"Let me tell you, they are all second-aided by the imperial court, and they also cheat their nephews.

You have to tell your eldest brother about this matter, both in public and private.

It's not that our family is greedy for money, but what are you afraid of? ”

Shi Shi chattered while taking the side dishes out of the food box.

The family style of the Shi family is to be upright in doing things. If you have something to say, you can say it in the clear place, and if you have something to do, you can do it in the bright place.

"You don't understand this, the second sister-in-law's matter is said to be done by the second sister-in-law. But do you really know, is there anything about the second brother in this?

It's not that I'm cheating on the child, it's that this thing can't come out of my mouth.

You also said that it is public and private!

When it comes out of my mouth, there's no buffer. Even if the eldest brother is unwilling to dispose of the second brother, he has to deal with it.

One is to calm people's hearts, and the other is to gag my mouth.

But Li Lin is different, he is the next generation.

is the only son of the eldest brother, and the country will be his, why doesn't he worry about me?

If you put yourself in their shoes, you know it's hard to be in my position.

The two older brothers above are in the army and know about fighting all day long.

What about me?

All day long, we have to think about ensuring military supplies, and we have to ensure the livelihood of the people in the Ming Dynasty.

They all went out to fight happily, leaving me to deal with a bunch of old foxes in the capital. ”

Li Hao ate the leek box, and Shi poured a glass of soju on the side.

"I know it's hard for you, eat well, and sleep for a while after eating.

I woke up at four o'clock this morning to make up for a nap. ”

Shi is reluctant to participate in this kind of thing, in fact, as long as it is involved in government affairs, she will not intervene.

"Don't be busy, let me ask you something?" Li Hao suddenly put down the leek box, looked at Shi Shi very solemnly and asked.

"What's the matter?"

"Have you done business with your second sister-in-law, and it doesn't matter if you have a share."

"Look at what you said, you said it when you got married. First, I am not allowed to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court, and second, I am not allowed to do business indiscriminately.

Our family's income is all your share of your sister-in-law's. Every year, my sister-in-law also gives me dividends.

But I don't know if the eldest sister-in-law has any business dealings with the second sister-in-law.

I really don't know what to do with so much money.

I don't know what kind of business you have and what dividends you share.

Anyway, as much as the sister-in-law gives, it doesn't matter how much she does.

Our family's expenses are just a few dozen people in the house. The dividends received from my sister-in-law every day are still a lot in addition to daily use.

I'm all in our Daming Bank!

A few days ago, I saw my third sister-in-law, and she persuaded me to deposit my money in a coastal bank.

And said who was that...... I forgot which business it was, and said that the interest was high. ”

"You saved?" Li Hao's eyes immediately widened.

"I didn't save it, but it was good to put it in Daming Bank. There are dozens of people up and down in our family, and the cost is not much.

The biggest expense every year is the money given to Scar. ”

"That money can't be saved, they used their lives to protect me.

The few times I escaped death, it was all because they exchanged my life for me.

The brothers died a lot, wounded a lot, and crippled a lot.

If they are dead, we have to feed their parents, wives and children.

If you are hurt, we must thank others for their kindness.

If they are disabled, I, Li Hao, will raise them for the rest of my life.

Scar will divide the money, he's not a money-grubbing person. ”
