Chapter 1549 When you come out to mix, you must be trustworthy
ps: Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, ask for recommendation, ask for collection, ask for subscription, thank you.
At the end of October, the human coalition forces stationed in various parts of the Spirits began to move frequently.
People in Caribbean ports feel this most intuitively.
Since the human landing, the Caribbean port has undergone two expansions in just six months. Now you can dock thousands of medium and large warships or transports.
Over the past few months, Caribbean ports have been filling up almost every day.
Coalition warships and transports from the human continent packed the harbor with barely a single gap.
More than a dozen steam cranes on the port are spitting billowing black smoke all day long, a bustling industrial city scene.
Heavy-duty wagons line up in long queues, like a long snake slowly wriggling between the city and the docks.
In order to alleviate the pressure of transportation, the Flying Eagle Construction Engineering Group, which built the port, even built a short railway.
But one day, when the Caribbeans woke up, they suddenly found that their port was empty~!
There are only more than 100 ships left in more than a dozen port areas, leaning alone on the docks, and all that is left is the blue-black sè sea surface polluted by various wastewater.
None of the great human ships knew where to go, and even the tireless steam engines on the docks had stopped most of them.
This made the citizens who worshiped the god of the steam engine very sad.
The stark contrast is extremely uncomfortable for Caribs, who feel as if suddenly something is missing from their lives.
Not only did the ship disappear, but so did the human legions stationed in and around Caribbean City.
It seemed like it was just overnight, and they were all gone.
Due to the departure of the GIs, the Caribbean's booming dining and entertainment industry was hit hard, and many restaurants, pubs and nightclubs immediately went cold.
Some time ago, because of the news that the human coalition in Caribbean Port was 'stupid and has a lot of money', there were many women who had lost their feet and resolutely jumped from Acaderin. planned to make money collectively, but unfortunately they hadn't even earned back the transfer fee, and the gang of soldiers and ruffians had all disappeared.
Caribbeans speculate. Humanity must be planning an unprecedented operation, and the most likely target is Thunderbolt.
Therefore, although the economy has been hit hard, the Caribbean is applauding one after another, under the powerful strike ability of hundreds of thousands of human troops and the integration of land and air, the arrogant and vulgar barbarians of the Thunder Flash people can last a week.
Meanwhile. In the hinterland of Thunder, 3,000 miles away from the Caribbean, General Merlot wore a Zìyóu army general's uniform, several medals pinned to his chest, and a large-brimmed hat tucked under his armpits. On his feet were polished high-waisted riding boots, striding down the fortress of war in high spirits.
He looked up at the messy barracks in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Two days earlier, he had just been appointed commander-in-chief of the second cluster of the expeditionary forces.
After the previous days of fighting, Brad quickly realized that it was obviously impossible for only one Berendi to defeat the Thunder Flash in a month.
Not to mention that this cunning old fox has been circling the border provinces of the Thunder Thunder people all the time. There was not the slightest courage to go deep into enemy territory and start a head-on battle with the enemy, even the officers of the Lingshan Staff were suspicious. He didn't even have the courage to start a decisive battle with the enemy.
Therefore, sending more troops and forming a second expeditionary army group became President Bullard's choice.
Despite President Bullard's own reluctance, the seat fell to Melo.
When President Bullard first approached former Chief of Military Affairs Parker, and General Hawkes, the commander of the Praetorian Guard. Hopefully they will lead the troops into battle.
But both were rejected by the two old men - not because they didn't want to fight, but because they all knew very well that they didn't know how to use artillery and war fortresses.
And with only 400,000 troops, to defeat the Thunder Flash people in a month, in the eyes of the two of them, it is an impossible task.
The two of them unanimously recommended General Merlot.
Parker and Hawkes are both sensible men, and although they don't like General Merlot's personality, they don't have much of a problem with him personally.
And both of them were Semitic loyal soldiers. In such militaristic affairs, they will not be swayed by their own likes and dislikes.
After Lorraine made it clear that humanity would not participate in this Semitic civil war, the only high-ranking general in the Republic zhèngfǔ who was familiar with how to use artillery and war bastions was General Merlot.
Even Parker admits that Merlot is a general with excellent qualities.
As for General Merun, the rice bucket that was not too much of a rice bucket was naturally ignored by everyone.
The Caribbean Division is known as the first Jīng Rui of Lingshan, and it is invincible. But they relied on the aid of a large number of weapons sent by Lord Luo. And the training of the soldiers, which did not have much to do with his commander.
Some officers and soldiers even privately commented that not a single donkey in the Caribbean Division was redundant, even if it was a cart, and the only one who was extra was His Excellency the commander.
As soon as Melo stepped down from the fortress of war, the commanders of the Zìyóu division, who had been waiting here, gathered around to salute and welcome him as the new commander.
Only two generals in coalition uniforms stood not far away, nodding politely to him.
President Bullard spun off part of the expeditionary force's Zìyóu army and handed it over to Merlo's leadership alone.
It was an army armed entirely with guns, artillery, and grenades, even though they were all armed with weapons that had been eliminated from the Nayan Legion. The rifle model is old, the number of machine guns is small, and the cannon is still an old type of gun with breech loading.
But compared to the army of Lei Shen, who wielded broadswords, long hair, and bows and arrows, the Zìyóu army, which had already stepped into the age of firearms, had the advantage of crushing them.
Not to mention a dúlì artillery regiment supported by Lorraine, with a hundred new artillery pieces, and a flying brigade, thirty-six war fortresses of the Maple Leaf Danlin Division.
These forces constitute a formidable attack group.
Merlot looked at the familiar faces in front of him, looked at their respectful expressions, and his heart was filled with pride—this was the war he was looking forward to.
He turned his head, looked at the vast plain, and said silently in his heart: Thunderburg, I'm coming~!
The commanders of these divisions of the Zìyóu Army have long been looking forward to changing to a commander who can fight, and Grandpa Berendi is cautious, but he is also too timid, and he has always taken the prevention of being besieged by the Thunder Flash people as his top priority.
After all. The Thunderbolt cavalry is famous all over the world, and most of the area of Thunderbolt is a flat river, which is extremely suitable for cavalry attack.
For the unsuspecting infantry, once the cavalry used their formidable speed, it would be a terrible consequence.
But the Zìyóu army relied on their own weapons, and they didn't put Grandpa Berendi's words here at all, and these dogs and cubs were looking forward to destroying a few thunderbolt troops and capturing several famous cities and cities from top to bottom. made military merits to seal his wife and son.
Especially the generals, the credit for defeating the Semitic will be the ladder for them to enter the political arena after taking off their military uniforms in the future. Otherwise. can only receive a pension at home and live a life of eating and waiting for death.
Now I finally look forward to Melo, who is known for her bold and ruthless style, and can let go of her hands and feet to fight a few battles happily.
Melo saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and was very satisfied with the attitude of the generals of the zìyóu army, and secretly nodded: The military heart is available.
But when he saw the two human generals, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart: although the reinforcements sent by Lorraine. But the two leaders of the team were actually major generals, only one level lower than him.
Mellot knew that he would be difficult to command them, and if he wanted their cooperation, he had to negotiate with them. And once he thinks that his order is unreasonable, he can also refuse it directly.
It could be seen from the lazy expressions of the two human generals that they were reluctant to come on this trip.
This made Merlot, who was accustomed to putting a qiē under control, very uncomfortable, like a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he couldn't help but secretly slander in his heart, and secretly said: A young man will command a regiment in the future, and you will not be too discouraged.
In fact, Lorraine's arrangement is to prevent Merlot from meddling. If the military rank is too small, I'm afraid that he won't be able to carry his great god.
Another regret is that the Caribbean Division still did not come, although he had made a request to President Bullard, but President Bullard decisively refused, saying only that the Caribbean Division had a more important mission.
Merlot was well aware of the strength of the Caribbean Division, and it was the best equipped in the Zìyóu Army, which could be called the Janissary Guard. It's a pity that Brad's old fox just won't let go.
"That's enough, though. Mellot said secretly in his heart, confident that the army in his hands was enough to withstand Lorraine's security forces for a while.
Melo and the generals exchanged a few pleasantries. Then he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Gentlemen, we have to say hello to the Lei Shan people, and tell them, uncle, I am here." ”
The Semitic generals around him laughed and looked encouraged.
The corners of Merlot's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a fierce sneer. said: "First give the Lei Shan people a ruthless blow, let them open their eyes." ”
"Commander, you will give the order, and we promise to do it. The generals unanimously expressed their determination to fight.
Merlot turned her head to look to the west, and vaguely saw that there was a gray city in the sky. That was supposed to be Fort Bit, the capital of the border province of Thunder and the largest city in the eastern part of Thunder.
He said in a deep voice: "Go and sue Sù Pitburg, I will limit him to surrender before the fall tomorrow~!"
"Yes~!" someone excitedly said yes, and then asked, "But what if they don't surrender?"
Melo clasped her hands in front of her chest, and a fierce light appeared in her slightly narrowed eyes, and said, "I will let them know what regret is." ”
The two human generals glanced at each other and shrugged at the same time, their orders were only to cooperate, and as for how the battle was fought, it was the Semitic people's own business.
In fact, in their hearts, they would like to see the Semitic people cut off their own bloody heads. From a human perspective, it is more in the interests of humanity to have an internally divided Semitic race.
However, there is now the greatest enemy of the undead High Priest, so out of strategic considerations, the human alliance needs to stabilize the order of the entire Semitic tribe in the shortest possible time.

As the capital of the region, the will of the Thunder Shan people in the city is very resolute.
At the beginning of the war, the whole city was ready for war. For more than a month, they have made complete preparations, strengthened the city walls, and stockpiled food and supplies.
In short, the people of Bitburg have made up their minds not to give in until the last moment.
As soon as Merlot's letter of surrender was delivered, it was thrown out of the city, along with the messenger who had brought the letter into the city.
Although the unlucky child was a thunderbolt, it was for the people in the city. Such traitors are more hateful than enemies.
When the messenger entered, Merlot watched coldly a few miles outside the city.
Therefore, he also watched the unlucky messenger fall from the wall under the influence of gravity, and fell heavily to the ground, splashing a cloud of smoke and dust.
In this regard, Merlot didn't even move his eyebrows, anyway, it was a thunderbolt who died. No one cared, but smiled and said to the general next to him: "It seems that they refused." Well, I really don't want them to agree. ”
The murderous aura in his words made the generals of the zìyóu army all tremble.
The soldiers of the Zìyóu army carried their shields and picked up the letter from under the city. When it was handed over to Merlot, BitCity's reply contained only one sentence: "Go back to your hometown".
Merlot handed the letter to his entourage behind him and said, "Keep it until tomorrow it will be stuffed into the mouth of the person who wrote this letter." ”
Bitburg was worried that the Zìyóu army would immediately attack the city, but they did not take any action that day, and the people of Bitburg became more and more sure that the Lingshan people were 'again' bragging and talking big.
The next morning, Merlot summoned all the generals, and said only one word at the meeting: Knock down the walls for me before lunch.
With his command. The Zìyóu army gathered hundreds of artillery pieces and lined up the walls of Fort Bit, and at the same time as the sun rose, hundreds of cannons roared at the same time, sending shells towards Fort Bit.
The violent explosion engulfed the tall city gate in an instant, and the thunderbolts on the city wall were like hell, under cannon fire. The whole Bitburg trembled.
However, two hours of continuous artillery fire could not open a wide enough gap in the walls of Fort Bit.
The breech-loading cannons of the Zìyóu army were old, and the explosive power of the shells was somewhat insufficient.
In this case, the major general of the Allied artillery regiment pouted helplessly and ordered the heavy artillery of his regiment to participate in the battle.
At the same time, he scolded Merlot in his heart for being cunning, he didn't say that he would let the coalition forces participate in the battle, but once the Zìyóu army did not achieve the expected goal, this grandson would definitely report him to Lorraine again.
Now it's up to me to ask for participation. Not only did Melo not have to lead the favor of the coalition army, but he felt that he was still a head down to Melo and begged him himself.
"No wonder this grandson is not likable~!" scolded and scolded, the major general of the artillery regiment still went to ask Merlot, and General Merlot also took it upon himself and approved his combat request like a superior.
The officers of the Zìyóu army were very emotional: This person is just different. This lord even humans have to sell his face obediently.
The participation of eight large-caliber heavy artillery pieces made the progress of the siege much earlier at once.
The breech guns of the Zìyóu army could only blow a crater in the city wall with one shot, and the heavy artillery of the coalition army could blow up half of the city wall with one shot, and destroy a qiē thing more than ten meters around.
The sound of heavy artillery shells was very special, the whistling of the shells flying was a little later than the explosions, and each explosion was like a heavy hammer smashing into the chest of the thunderbolt.
And the terrible and sharp whistling of the cannonballs is still a lingering nightmare for many thunderbolts after the war.
After only five rounds of Qi shè, through the dust, I saw that the towering tower of Bitburg collapsed and turned into rubble. A forty-meter-wide gap was exposed, enough for a large army to rush in.
The artillerymen then stopped firing, they had already completed their task ahead of schedule, and the shells that had been transported over long distances were invaluable.
The officer happily reported to Melo in the tent.
The commander was actually reading the newspaper with a cup of hot black tea, his feet on the table, and his expression was relaxed.
The general of the Fifth Division stepped forward to ask for battle, and said excitedly: "Commander, let's attack now, and rush in with all our might while the enemy is stupid by artillery fire." ”
Then he slapped his chest and said loudly, "I promise to end the fight before lunch." ”
But Merlot didn't raise her head, and said casually: "No." I said afternoon is afternoon. By the way, send someone to send a note inside, saying that we will start attacking at half past two and attack from the east gate.
At the same time, the whole army was told to attack at half past two in the afternoon. ”
Not only the division commanders of the Zìyóu Army, but also the major generals of the two coalition armies all looked at each other, looked at Merlot in surprise, and secretly said in their hearts: Isn't this master stupid?
How can anyone tell the enemy when and where he will attack before the battle begins?
Merlot kept staring at the newspaper, waving his hand, urging: "Just do so, tell everyone to eat enough at noon." ”
The herald officer reluctantly agreed, turned and walked out of the tent to carry out the strange order.
The two generals of the human race looked at each other and sneered, of course they knew that it was Merlot in Liwei.
I think that's what Lord Luo did when he just came out to mix and took his younger brothers to cut people.
And at every turn, he always said, 'When you come out to mix, you must be trustworthy, saying that if you kill his whole family, you must kill his whole family. That's on my lips.
Although this approach may seem like a bit of a two-pronged approach, when you have absolute strength and can crush your enemies, it can make your enemies feel more fearful. Especially when Lord Luo said those words, many people felt a cold wind coming up from the tail bone.
Unexpectedly, now it has been learned by Merlot. It's just that this general is educated after all, and he doesn't have the domineering spirit unique to the gangsters who are scattered wildly when Lord Luo's tiger body trembles.
Soon, this order spread throughout the Zìyóu army, but the response from the soldiers was unexpectedly good, and they thought that Merlot was very domineering in doing so: "We are clearly telling you, and you will not be able to defeat us."
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Merlot sent the 5th and 6th divisions, which were the strongest in the Zìyóu army, except for the Caribbean division, and they were all Semitic Praetorian Guards, and their combat effectiveness and fighting will were outstanding in the Semitic tribe.
The two divisions marched in a total of 30,000 men and lined up towards Fort Pitter.
Merlot sat on horseback, holding a pocket watch in his white-gloved hand, looking at the hands pointing to half past two, he waved his hand down vigorously, and said, "Attack~!" (To be continued.) You are welcome to come and read (qidian.) m.qidian. )
