Chapter 327 Sending troops to Turkey(1/2)
Chapter 327: Sending troops to Türkiye
"Ba!" "Ba!"
On the plain, a few crisp gunfire sounded.
And under the threat of gunfire, more than a dozen figures were running away in a panic.
"Hurry, run quickly, if they are caught back, it will be a dead end..."
One of the figures looked back at the pursuers behind him and said to his companions beside him.
But at this moment, with a gunshot, one of the figures suddenly screamed and fell to the ground...
"ah!!!"
Looking at the companion who was lying on the ground with his legs in his arms, screaming in pain, the rest of them just glanced at him and continued to run forward without looking back...
They all understood that since this man had fallen, he was so helpless.
What's more, at this time, even they themselves may not be able to be rescued?
"Damn it, how could those guys find out?!"
After cursing hard in his belly, more than a dozen figures continued to run forward.
But after they ran about a few hundred meters away, they found that what they were waiting in front of them was an entire cavalry company with a number of 78 people...
Looking at the entire cavalry company standing in front of him, the man in the lead murmured with a pale face.
"How could it be, how could it be? How could it be the regular army responsible for the pursuit!"
However, just when the leader was still there and couldn't believe it, the people around him had already knelt on the ground one by one, begging the regular soldiers in front of him to spare their lives—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
That's right, these dozen people were the prisoners who escaped from the "labor camp" while the night was dark...
Although in order to make these prisoners work hard, the construction team commanded by Zhan Tianyou has never treated these workers unfairly in the three meals, except for freedom, other places are no different from ordinary workers.
However, because the "labor camp" is responsible for high-risk death sections, coupled with the extremely long working hours of at least 16 hours a day, and the harsh environment in Xinjiang, the mortality rate of "labor camp" has always remained high, and those who are still alive are also in pain due to environmental and other problems.
Of course, Yan Guang knew about these things, but Yan Guang didn't care much.
Because in Yan Guang's view, since these prisoners in the "labor camp" dared to rebel, they must be the person holding their heads on their belts. Since they are such people, can the mere railways still hold them hard?
So although Zhan Tianyou has proposed many times that the construction conditions should be improved for these people in the "labor camp", Yan Guang would throw it aside after watching it. Over time, Zhan Tianyou gave up.
After all, in order to compare the construction time, someone always needs to fill in those dead sections.
The construction workers under his command, even ordinary workers, were from serious families, and in the end they had to use these captured rebels to push the tank.
But it is a pity that although Yan Guang looked down on these people who "hold their heads on their belts", these rebels are not as tough as they did when they launched the rebellion.
These rebels who burned, killed and looted very vigorously when they launched a rebellion, could not bear the environment in the "labor camp". In addition, they had licked blood on the edge of the knife, so naturally, all kinds of escape incidents were repeatedly banned.
After all, "the mortality rate in the labor camp is too high. Although Zhan Tianyou and his engineers are ruthless, the National Defense Forces officers who arrested them and were in charge of supervising the work are inhumane...
"Fill with your life..."
This is definitely not a joke. On some death sections, when the mortality rate is highest, more than ten people died in one day. Of course, they can do it without fighting, but there are at least one hundred guns behind them. Don’t you try it?
In the past, although the people in charge of supervising the workforce were the military, the people in charge of hunting were the escorts of the construction team.
But for some reason today, the ones who caught up were the National Wehrmacht cavalry in pure black uniforms. These regular troops were usually only responsible for sending the newly captured prisoners to the "labor camp"...
"Forget it..." Looking at the person who took the lead in running, the person who took the lead closed his eyes. "Although he would definitely be punished after being arrested, and even arranged for projects with extremely high mortality rates, it is much better than dying now. Moreover, there is a saying by the Han people that you should keep the green mountains and you are not afraid of no firewood. As long as you can survive, you may not have no chance to escape in the future..."
But just as the leader opened his eyes and was about to surrender, he heard the sound of bolts running around...
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of dense gunfire...
More than ten seconds later, more than a dozen escapees on the plains were already lying on the ground. The cavalry who had fired their guns stepped forward and stabbed them with a saber to prevent anyone from pretending to be dead...
However, with more than seventy horse guns, these unprepared guys were obviously dead and could not die anymore. Although the possibility of suddenly becoming a zombie cannot be ruled out, this probability seems to be a little too small...
It is not surprising that these national defense cavalry will kill, because of the harsh environment of the "labor camp", there are too many people who have fled in recent times.
Therefore, although Zhan Tianyou and others were unwilling, the general in charge of supervising the army decided to kill Yan Guang after asking for instructions. He killed all the escaped prisoners, and then fired the European countries in the Age of Discovery and hung these fugitives on the gate of the "labor camp" until they were air dry...
At the same time, in order to prevent the construction team from being unable to take action, the generals of the supervisor also specially transferred a team of cavalry from Yang Zengxin. These cavalry were veterans who had exchanged fire with rebels many times in the past, and might show mercy to others, but they were the former rebels...
Facts have proved that this time's action was still effective. At least when looking at the nearly 100 corpses hanging at the door and being dried, the chances of prisoners in the "labor camp" were greatly reduced. -- There were a lot more people who committed suicide directly.
However, these are not what supervisors need to manage. What he needs to manage is only supervising the progress of the railway. As for whether there will be a shortage of people in the "labor camp"?
Many rebels in Xinjiang are arrested every now and then.
And even if these rebels are arrested, aren’t there any more ** and Mongolia?
These two places are also areas with serious rebellion. Although the support from Britain and Russia has been reduced a lot in recent times, this does not mean that the rebellion problem has disappeared. Therefore, the supply of "labor camps" is still sufficient, and there is no need to worry about this problem at all.
——————————
Of course, Yan Guang, who is far away in Beijing, would not know what happened in Xinjiang, but even if he knew about Yan Guang, he would not care———————Many orders were issued by him, and if he cared, he would be damned.
Besides, Yan Guang is not a person who has never been to the battlefield. For him, the word "merciful" will appear on men and women, but will not appear on rebels.
Therefore, what Yan Guang is concerned about now is just the issue of participating in the post-war division of interests after the European War.
Therefore, after making his own request, Yan Guang only stared at Zhu Erdian...
After listening to Yan Guang's request, Zhu Erdian also fell into deep thought.
“Iraq? Kuwait?”
Seriously speaking, if China can send 300,000 to 500,000 troops, or even completely replace Russia's role in the Balkan front, then these two costs are actually not very high.
Although Iraq and Kuwait were both famous places of black gold in later generations, many countries were even willing to fight for the black gold under the land of these two places.
However, in this era, Iraq and Kuwait were just a wasteland with little area but no resources. As for the latter, it was just a small place with geographical location, but the remaining resources, land, etc.
If it weren't for the purpose of clamping down and weakening the Turks, Britain wouldn't have snatched Kuwait from the Turks at all.
However…
"In Iraq, there may not be any problem, but Kuwait..."
Iraq is still the territory of the Turks, and the British don’t feel sorry for even if they make a deal. In fact, the British were the ones who obtained Iraq after the war, but for a period of time afterwards, the British had never cared about this "barren" map.
But Kuwait's...
Although the small ones are almost negligible, and from the perspective of this era, there is almost no resources, Britain is the protector of Kuwait after all. After all, the bureaucrats and men in Whitehall may not agree...
After all, the British Empire has been as the maritime overlord for hundreds of years, and over the past few hundred years, the men in Whitehall have accumulated a lot of tempers.
It is nothing to allocate the enemy's territory to the allies as a post-war interest, because this is a common method used by the British, but if they are also assigned to the protectors - although the small ones there are almost negligible, the masters in Whitehall may also refuse because of face issues...
What's more...
Juerdian found it very strange!
Iraq and Kuwait were famous wastelands in this era, which is a well-known thing. Since it is well-known, why did Yan Guang still ask for these two places?
And now Yan Guang's attitude is clearly that if you don't give me these two places, I would rather make a fortune silently than send troops?
Since he thought of this question, Zhu Erdian naturally asked it.
Yan Guang's answer to Zhuerdian's question is both practical and simple.
"I want other good places, do you give them?!"
That’s right, even if Yan Guang wants a good place, the question is, will those people in Whitehall be willing to give it to you?
You should know that the interests after the war were divided up by Britain, France, Russia and other countries before the war. Especially those places with rich resources or vast land, although they are still in the hands of the Allies, they have already made famous in Britain, France and other countries...
Yan Guang wants Iraq and Kuwait to have no problem, because both places belong to the British sphere of influence. Even if they make a deposit, it is nothing more than the British suffering. There is nothing else, but if Yan Guang wants other places, he will have to re-dividend the interests after the war...
Therefore, facing Yan Guang's answer, Zhu Erdian had no choice but to say.
"Since that's the case, I will go back to the embassy to convey your request to London..." Jurden paused at this point. "But Mr. President, there is one thing I still want to explain. The issue about Iraq may not be very problematic, but Kuwait will probably be a little trouble..."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I will never send troops if I don't have any hands in these two places. You can react to your prime minister..." However, as soon as he said that, he thought about the urination of these imperialists, Yan Guang quickly added. "Of course, when reacting, I hope the Ambassador's translation will be a little more tactful..."
Zhu Erdian, whose face had become much stiffer, suddenly had a bitter smile on his face after hearing Yan Guang's words...
"This...well..."
As he said that, Juerdian stood up from his seat.
"Sir President, I'll say goodbye now..."
"It's easy to leave, no sending!"
"It's easy to leave? Don't you send it?"
Although Zhu Erdian lives in China for many years and is considered a Chinese master, it is obvious that he cannot understand the true meaning of these four words———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Therefore, after hearing this sentence, Zhu Erdian could only nod and said.
"Goodbye then..."
As he said that, Juerdian left Yan Guang's office and returned to the embassy to report the conversation he had met with Yan Guang to the London side.
After reporting back, Jurden was ready to trade between the two sides. After all, he was still very clear about the urinary nature of the bureaucrats in London, and the request for help this time was a country that paid compensation to the UK many times.
But ideals are very backbone, reality is full of fullness...
