Chapter 60: Shang Zhixin's Idea
"How?" The next morning, Li Xiu looked at Chen Laohu proudly.
"Second master, the rabbit cubs are too heavily drugged.
Two of them were directly drugged to death, and a few woke up, and their mouths were full of saliva flowing.
As for what they said, no one understood what they were talking about....... ”
“……!” Li Xiu was stunned and didn't speak.
A very good ploy actually had such an effect.
This is something Li Xiu never imagined!
"Why don't you use this method to catch another batch tonight? You can do without pies, and you can make dumplings. ”
"They're black, not stupid! Again, they are not stupid. Li Xiu's nose was almost out of breath.
Now he was a little skeptical about the intelligence of his lieutenant commander.
"Arrest two locals, go to the people of the Foreign Legion, and say that ours is going to negotiate."
The conspiracy did not succeed, and Li Xiu had no choice but to start negotiations with the Foreign Legion.
"Second master, there is nothing to negotiate with. It was as if we were begging them!
In case those bastard lions open their mouths, do you continue to talk to them or fight? ”
“……!” Li Xiu was speechless.
If you have troops to fight, you will have fought a long time ago, so why wait until today.
"Second master, I feel that if you want to take Corsica, you should attack your heart." Chen Laohu saw Li Xiu's appearance and changed into the role of a dog-headed military advisor.
"Attacking the heart?" Li Xiu looked Chen Laohu up and down.
This bastard spends far more time on a woman's belly than she spends reading a book. Now he's fucking ready to play the art of war with himself!
"Those foreign legions sound good, but they are actually mercenaries.
Since he is a mercenary, if he can accept the employment of the French, he can accept ours.
For them, money is far more important than loyalty. Chen Laohu looked at Li Xiu's expression and said carefully.
"Go on." Li Xiu nodded, and what Chen Laohu said was a little interesting.
"If that's the case, it's a matter of price."
"We won't give them money, giving them a full bite is the highest condition." Li Xiu did not hesitate to veto Chen Laohu's proposal.
Daming's money is not blown by the wind, and it will never be given to outsiders so easily.
On the contrary, many Ming soldiers also hope to use their heads to fight for glory for themselves.
"My second master, are you stupid to me? The silver dollar of the white flower flower will be given to those who are like pigs?
But ......!
I think these people can use it, let's give them a chance.
land, you can let them grab it themselves.
Let's give them some supplies, guns and ammunition or something.
Didn't we seize so many guns and ammunition?
Anyway, it's all rusty in the warehouse, so it's better to give it to them. ”
"Give them weapons, where do they go to rob? France?
Aren't you afraid that they will take our weapons and ammunition and go straight to the French? ”
Li Xiu looked at Chen Laohu with disdain.
This kind of thing, do you think those people won't do it?
"My second master, I'm not that stupid.
Isn't there a shortage of people there is Sun Zhijie?
After recruiting these men, they were sent to the Middle East.
If you want land, you can go to the Kurds and grab it.
If you want money, you can! Go to the Kurds to grab it, and even if you want a woman, you can go to the Kurds to grab it.
Our Ming Dynasty is now short of troops, so let these people go and eat dogs with the Kurds.
You look at them, they have helped the French fight for many years.
We don't need to train, just throw it to the Middle East and let them fight the Kurds.
Anyway, it's a dog-eat-dog thing, and we don't feel sorry for anyone who dies. ”
Li Xiu's eyes lit up, not to mention that this was really a good idea.
Daming will not give nearly 200,000 horses and horses to the overseas corps, but it can give policies.
In Baghdad and Mosul, these Kurds are making a lot of noise.
Sun Zhijie had a strong army, but he only had 100,000 men under his command, and he wanted to attack the Kurds and ensure the safety of the Basra oil field and refinery, so he couldn't break it in terms of troops.
Put these 200,000 people in and let them fight the Kurds.
If you want as much land as you want, you can grab it yourself, if you want money, you can grab it yourself, and if you want a woman, you can grab it yourself.
That's a good idea!
Chen Laohu is right, the dog-eat-dog thing, whoever dies will not feel distressed.
"That's a good idea, go ahead and do it.
If we get Corsica done sooner, we can threaten the southern coast of France.
Let the French not be able to devote themselves to the Eastern Front battlefield, and reduce the pressure on the big brother. ”
"No!" Chen Laohu nodded and hurriedly went to work.
Chen Laohu came to the operations command room and beckoned to a middle-aged staff officer.
"You go to Tavignano now and get a few locals to come out. Let them go to the island and send a message to the commander of the Foreign Legion, Haig.
Let's just say, we're going to negotiate with him. Chen Laohu put his hands behind his back and waved his hand very imposingly.
"Deputy Commander, this ...... I'm afraid not. A voice sounded behind Chen Laohu.
As soon as Chen Laohu turned around, he saw that it was Shang Zhixin who walked in.
This guy has meritorious service in defending Constantinople and has just been promoted to the rank of major general.
Li Xiu asked Zuo Liangyu for the attack on Corsica.
"Oh, why doesn't it work?" Chen Laohu was a little displeased, and he finally came up with a good idea.
Even the commander was convinced, but you can't say it.
"The deputy commander, Haig and most of the officers of the Foreign Legion were French.
Their family is in France, and if you talk to them now, how could they possibly surrender.
Could it be that they don't think about their wives and children? ”
“……!” Chen Laohu was choked without saying a word.
The Foreign Legion soldiers are all over the world, but the vast majority of the officers are French outstanding.
What will happen to their families if they surrender ......?
One or two, and you can get it out with the help of agents.
But this ...... With an army of 200,000, there must be at least 10,000 officers.
What can be done with the families of more than 10,000 people?
Chen Laohu was dumbfounded, and was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.
Seeing that his deputy commander was deflated, a lieutenant colonel staff officer stood up.
"It's easy to do, we can print a lot of flyers. Tell the soldiers that if we surrender, we will be forgiven and given land.
Believe it, their soldiers did not come to surrender. ”
After the lieutenant colonel finished speaking, he looked at Shang Zhixin very proudly.
An officer of the Marine Corps also dared to come to the Navy headquarters to install X, this time there were no words.
"......!" Shang Zhixin smiled.
Chen Laohu looked at Shang Zhixin with unkind eyes!
"Deputy Commander, I don't mean anything else.
Probably this brother does not know about the Foreign Legion, these people are people all over the world. Many people don't even speak French, and you trigger flyers.
What language do you use to write it?
Even if you write all the languages on it, most of the soldiers are black.
Do you expect them to be literate? ”
“……!” At this moment, everyone was speechless.
What these blacks say, everyone has no idea in their hearts. Not to mention, many ethnic groups do not have a written language at all.
Printing leaflets has to be understood by them.
Do you mean drawing?
That's not ......, it's not impossible, it's just a little more difficult.
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either. You're just saying it can't be done? Chen Laohu squinted at Shang Zhixin, and his expression was very unkind.
"Deputy Commander!
Brother is also thinking about the war, and your idea is actually very good.
Now it's a question of how to do it!
Xiaguan has a way to ......! ”
**************************
Haig, commander of the French Foreign Legion, was very anxious in the past two days.
It has been a month since the Ming captured the port of Tavignano, during this time. They continued to recruit people from North Africa to expand the port of Tavignano.
Although the construction of the port could not be achieved in a day or two, Haig was worried.
Once the port was built and the Ming army could increase and supply on a larger scale, a large-scale offensive would begin.
What worries Haig even more is that the Ming army has been blockading day and night.
This leaves the Foreign Legion without any supplies!
And in the last half a month, it has been around the whole of Corsica. The warships and dinghy of the Ming army would attack anyone who came across the beach.
The beach where bullets fly is simply the line of life and death.
In the past, I could still rely on catching the sea to get a little seafood and beating tooth sacrifices.
Now, even the seaweed the size of a fingernail is gone.
What's even more annoying is the plane in the sky, "buzzing", "buzzing" and "buzzing" around the head all day long.
Whenever you see a building, you drop a bomb, and when you see a person, you shoot it.
As long as the anti-aircraft guns dared to fire, they would be attacked by a storm.
Those old 25-mm anti-aircraft guns, not only have not a single plane been shot down since the beginning of the war, but they have lost seventy-seven, eighty-eight.
Now those anti-aircraft guns simply did not dare to fire.
Even if it is blown up, it can only be a turtle with a shrunken head.
Every day a telegram was sent to report on the situation on the island and to request reinforcements from Marshal Mula.
But every time I call back, I am resolutely defending, and reinforcements are being organized.
Haig knew that even if there were reinforcements, there would be no way to come.
The French Navy met the Ming Navy, like a schoolboy who met a street bully in the street.
Except for the trembling stop in the harbor, protected by a group of anti-aircraft guns, they did not dare to go to sea at all.
Without a navy, how would those reinforcements be transported to Corsica by sea?
Fly over?
The airship was afraid that if it left the cover of anti-aircraft guns off the coast of France, it would be shot down by the planes of the Ming army.
There is no way, there is no hope in Corsica.
Watching the granary dwindle, Haig knew that when the grain was gone, it would be the end of Corsica.
But what could he do?
Marshal Mula, who had just promoted his son to colonel.
If you can use your life to pave the way for your career, what else can you ask for?
"Commander, something seems to be wrong." Chief of Staff Johnny Depp ran in in a hurry.
"What's going on? So flustered? Haig glanced at the old subordinate dissatisfied.
When I was fighting the Prussians, I didn't see this guy's expression when fighting with the enemy.
"Commander, do you remember the North Africans who escaped from the Ming army a week ago?"
"Do you mean those Libyans, Moroccans, and Algerians? What's wrong with them? ”
A week earlier, a group of North African laborers had indeed escaped from the Ming army.
Some of these people also knew the soldiers of the Foreign Legion.
So, Haig decided to take in these poor people who had been captured by the Ming to build a port.
At the very least, there will be more cannon fodder in wartime.
"These people are spreading the word among their fellow villagers that we are running out of food.
Rumors that we will be starved to death, and it is also said that there is food there in Daming.
When you get to the Ming people, you can eat a full meal. ”
"Damn!
Why didn't you report it earlier and arrest all those people. I'm going to throw them in the toilet and drown! ”
Haig slapped the table angrily.
He took these bastards in the first place, but he didn't expect them to spread such rumors.
……!
Although, what they spread is not a rumor.
But ......, Haig decided to kill them anyway.
"They all fled back, saying that we gave them pig food here. It's far worse than eating from the Ming people! ”
"Ran back?"
Haig's eyes widened, and he was furious.
Not only did they flee back, but they also abducted a lot of people and ran away with them.
Now we know that every night someone runs to Daming's side. Eat the meals provided by Daming for free and come back before dawn.
It started as a soldier, but then it grew to some officers. ”
"They go to the Ming people to eat and drink, and the Ming people will let them come back?" Haig simply thought Johnny Depp was crazy.
If it were himself, he would definitely not let those people back.
"Really, the Ming army opened up for them to eat. And then let them back!
You know, in order to save food.
We ration every meal, and now we can only eat two fists of brown bread per day!
The soldiers have long been complaining. ”
"You know better than me how much grain is in our granary."
"So, the soldiers went to eat from the Ming people."
"Hah! Then let them eat, and it can also help us solve the problem of food shortage. Haig said angrily.
"At first, it was casual to eat, but then Ming Jun told them.
If you surrender with weapons, you can give them five acres of land in Baghdad.
If you bring your colleagues to join Cheng, Dora will add two acres of land by herself.
They must surrender with weapons!
Within a week, the word had spread in the barracks.
Last night, two companies ran away.
There are still a few classes, and only the squad leader is left alone. ”
"These bastards, they don't know how to stop them when they run away." The corners of Haig's eyes were about to crack, but he didn't expect the Ming army to dig into the wall like this.
Baghdad is still in the hands of the Kurds, and he made a wish with other people's land, and the Ming people did it really well.
"There's no way to stop it, seven people in a class want to run. The squad leader did not run, even if he was loyal to France.
I even feel that such soldiers should be reused and rewarded, not punished. ”
"The order went down, and all the deserters were shot.
Shoot on the spot, no need to report! ”
