【158】Mexico War

() Long Hao pretended to evade it a few times, and finally reached an agreement with Schelling Mir on this warship to sell ZSS's agency rights in the Austro-Hungarian Empire for three years to Schelling Mir at a preferential price of 50 pounds a year.

Without the mutual binding of interests, Long Hao would not naively believe that this Princess Sherinmir would provide help and convenience for her actions in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The agency right is just a sweet date that he deliberately released.

For the time being, the matter of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not considered, because the warship has already sailed into the port of Le Havre in France, and Long Hao and his party have officially set foot on the land of France. ..

At the end of 1891, France was in the development period of the Third Republic. Most of the army was fighting for the colonies abroad. The country was relatively peaceful. Various political parties were established one after another, leading the way in the Congress. Among them was France, which promoted Marxism Workers Party.During this period, France was ruled by moderates. They were committed to the development of people's livelihood, free education, and freedom of the news.

Long Hao's purpose in coming to France is very simple. There are two reasons. One is to give a lecture on "quantum mechanics" in Paris. subordinate.

While Long Hao and his party are moving forward in the land of romance, Mexico, thousands of miles away, is engaged in a smoky and thrilling war!

This is the rainforest in southern Mexico. It was originally a lush and peaceful area, but now it has become a noisy battlefield where guns meet!In the dense forest, there are burning flames and the aftermath of war everywhere, and the bloody corpses are either hanging on the trees, lying on the ground, or split into several pieces... rendered in a green background A little bit of scarlet, showing what a tragic battle took place here. ..

The gunfire in the distance seemed to have stopped, only sporadic gunfire sounded from time to time, under a towering tree surrounded by three people.A human head emerged from a clump of vine leaves. The head was brown, and the word panic was written all over its face.

His name was Simão, he was a member of the Mexican Rebels, or 'Rebels', and his lips trembled.Carefully observing the surroundings, he got out of the vine leaves when he was sure it was safe, and leaned his back under the big tree, panting heavily.

"Damn expeditionary army, goddamn expeditionary army! Woohoo, all my companions are dead, and I'm the only one left! How dare they come in, how can they be so strong?"

Simao looked at the bloody and rotten flesh protruding from his thigh.He was so depressed that although he escaped because of his familiarity with the terrain, the gunshot wound on his leg deprived him of his ability to move. If he was found by the expeditionary force again, he would surely die.

Even if he is lucky not to be found, Simao cannot receive timely treatment.If it is dragged on, it will cause disability in the slightest, and death in severe infection!

Desperate Simao kept cursing the expeditionary army.And the team he cursed was the mixed new army that entered Mexico under the name of Savy to help Diaz destroy the rebels.

From the moment they entered Mexico, the expeditionary force fought for two months, relying on advanced weapons, clever tactics, and logistics provided by Diaz's special support, to suppress the rebels in their lair in the southern rainforest.And unhurriedly, the small groups of guerrilla troops dispatched by the rebels were pulled out one by one as nails, which not only trained the team, but also deterred the enemy.

During this period, President Diaz spent almost every day in the joy of reading the good news from the front line, which he did not expect at all.A team of just over a thousand people beat him to such an embarrassing and disastrous state that the Japanese army, which was regarded as a thorn in their heels, was defeated. With such a situation, if we work harder, the group of grandsons who are huddled in the rainforest will be ready before the end of the year. It was completely wiped out!

However, when the time entered November, the expeditionary army's attack suddenly slowed down, and even allowed the Revolutionary Army to win a few partial victories, which greatly boosted the morale of the Revolutionary Army, and their tentacles of strength once again protruded from the rainforest lair.

However, when the Revolutionary Army thought that there was a problem with the Expeditionary Army and was preparing for a major counterattack, the vanguard troops that had come out of the rainforest were hit head-on by the Expeditionary Army and suffered heavy losses. However, as long as the Revolutionary Army retreats within [-] kilometers around the rainforest, they will call back their troops and stop chasing them.

After several attempts, the leader of the Revolutionary Army finally understood: it is absolutely safe for him to hide in the rainforest, but as soon as he goes out of the range of [-] kilometers, he will be severely attacked by the opponent.

Not only the leader of the Revolutionary Army understood, but Diaz also understood the intention of the Expeditionary Army through his own intelligence system.Diaz immediately selected fifty beauties and sent them to the villa for Savy to enjoy.

Diaz has only one request: if you want money, I will give, if you want people, I will pay. As long as your troops work harder and wipe out the rebels, you must return the Mexican people to a clear sky!

Savy was in a dilemma. He knew that Diaz's request was not too much, but the problem was that this expeditionary force was not under his absolute control!And he also knows one or two reasons why the offensive of the expeditionary force has slowed down recently, because...the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has arrived!

Sawei's contradictions are contradictions, but the beauty still accepts them with a smile as usual. Under his "urging", the lazy expeditionary force finally took action. The range of activities was successfully compressed to the surrounding area of ​​the rainforest... 49 kilometers.

Seeing Savi's five beauties doing foreign work a day, eight days later, Diaz finally became angry. Under his monstrous anger, Savi also bowed his head, and agreed to send the Mexican Zheng Fu Army as the main force and the Expeditionary Force as the assistant. The Revolutionary Army launched a general offensive in its lair in the rainforest.

As a result, in late November, this mighty, all-or-nothing general offensive...failed!

Under the complex terrain of the rainforest, the coalition forces (zheng fu army and expeditionary army) that had entered rashly were ambushed, and in less than ten hours, they were almost wiped out. According to the statistics of the battle damage afterwards, Diaz almost vomited three liters of blood and died: The Mexican zheng fu army had 3000 people, with 2878 casualties, and the expeditionary force had 977 people, with 540 casualties...

This kind of battle damage ratio is definitely not enough to describe it as a broken muscle, let alone the weak Mexican government army, and Diaz will not feel bad when all 3000 people die.But more than half of the expeditionary force with a total number of less than a thousand people suffered more than half of the casualties. Doesn't that mean that the rebels who have been beaten like dogs for two and a half months... are about to resurface?

Falling from heaven to hell, Rao Diaz has been in the Mexican political arena for decades, and such a psychological gap is unbearable. The night he received the bad news of his defeat.He brought the wine bottle, came to the villa, and shared the remaining ten beauties with Savi!

It is said that that night, the president’s wailing could be heard within a kilometer radius, making many people wonder how painful it must be to cry so miserably. Could it be that the Spanish viscount, who was so murdered that he refused to recognize his relatives, all the time Accidentally gave the president a broken chrysanthemum overnight?

Diaz had an absurd night.He was pessimistically preparing to accept the reality of the failure of "suppressing bandits", but two days later, he was surprised to find that the number of expeditionary troops was still more than a thousand!

Heck!

After reading the information, Diaz couldn't figure it out: Didn't half of the people be killed or injured? Why are there still more than 1000 people?Could it be that the soldiers with more than 500 casualties were ghosts or ghosts?

Diaz ran to ask about Savy, who had been there since the expeditionary force entered Mexico.Lord Viscount, who has been 'sit firmly on the Diaoyutai', hesitated for a moment, then he hesitated and replied vaguely: "Your Excellency, the Cuban Expeditionary Force also has soldiers... Supplement it!"

oh!It was only then that Diaz suddenly realized that the cause and effect were connected, and he immediately understood: Okay, let me tell you why the Expeditionary Army has been dragging its feet for the past month... I dare say it is to use the rebel army to train new recruits!

Diaz after figured it out.It was as if ten thousand mud horses whizzed by in my heart: "Fuck, it's a pity that my 3000 soldiers, although the pension is not much, but so many people died, it is also a heavy blow to the prestige of my government!"Hateful Castillo.Seriously, you actually sent recruits to accompany my people to die! ! !

Hate turns to hate, but now Diaz is really inseparable from Savy’s expeditionary force, so he had no choice but to search for a group of beautiful widows (the chrysanthemum was disabled that night, Savy told Diaz that he wanted to change his taste ), sent to curry favor with Major Castillo.

Savy can be considered a man of his word. After "tasting" the delicious widow's meal for a few days, he finally gave a reply to the anxious Diaz: Don't worry, the expeditionary force will take action soon...

Thus, there was today's sudden attack!

In any case, the Communist Army could never have imagined why the coalition forces, which were defeated and defeated a week ago, dared to break into the rainforest again. Aren't they afraid of death?

With a bit of arrogance, the Revolutionary Army decided to be a transgressor again, sending the expeditionary army that rushed in to reincarnation, but as the battle unfolded, those who went to reincarnation... became the Revolutionary Army!

The performance of this expeditionary force is completely different from that of the one a week ago. Not only are everyone fierce and full of firepower, but even in the rain forest, they are also elusive and domineering everywhere, which makes this area The rainforest seemed to suddenly become the home of the expeditionary army, and their fighters were more familiar with the plants and trees here than the rebels!

There is no suspense, the rebels were massacred one-sidedly in their lair...

Tired of cursing, Simao began to look for wild animals thirsty. He was hungry and thirsty. Although he was almost sentenced to death, no one would give up hope of survival easily, right?

Seeing a movement in the grass ahead, Ximang's black eyes couldn't help but brighten up: ha, hare, rabbit, rabbit...

With a "sudden" sound, before Simao's saliva flowed out, a hole was opened on his forehead, and bright red blood seeped out from the hole, quickly slipping through his eyes that were still fixed in surprise and vitality but had disappeared, "Boom ' With a sound, Simao's body fell sideways. For him, this may be a relief...

"Haha, there are still fish that slipped through the net! The squad leader sent us back to clean up. What a wise decision!" The grass was pushed away by a black spear, revealing a face painted in colorful colors.

"Come on, the squad leader is not here, you still put away your flattering skills!" Behind this person, another person jumped out of the grass, with the same attire, and his face was also painted like Ye Xiao Zhong Kui.

These two men, dressed in dusty green military uniforms, were called Yan Chengbing who shot and killed Xi Mang, and Mao Xinfang, who shot and killed Xi Mang, were ordinary soldiers of the expeditionary army.

The two of them had just participated in a small-scale annihilation battle when they were sent back by the squad leader to clean up the remnants of the rebels who secretly hid and thought they had escaped.

This small operation is called "time difference mopping up" by the expeditionary force, and it is specially suitable for operations in complex terrain such as the rainforest.

The unlucky Simao was the first 'tail' to be swept away.

Yan Chengbing chuckled.After flicking the rifle, a section of extremely sharp but plain blade bounced out from the front end of the muzzle. Yan Chengbing poked it a few times deftly, filling several transparent holes in Simao's body.

This is called 'filling knife', and this section of blade is called 'bayonet'.This is the combat technique taught by Gao Tianyang's group of instructors, and this bayonet also cost a lot of money and was added by an arms dealer. In the past month, this kind of rifle with added fuel has been shipped from San Francisco to Mexico one after another.

Yan Chengbing put away the bayonet and muttered, "It's really troublesome, obviously the dead can't die anymore, and I have to make up for it..."

He said it.But there was no dissatisfaction on his face, this complaint was purely boring.

Both Yan Chengbing and Mao Xinfang knew how many lives of careless comrades had been saved in the past two months by this simple technique of making up the knife.

"Come on, if you have the ability, go and complain to the instructor!"

Mao Xinfang meticulously searched for hidden corners, with a mantra in his mouth: "This bayonet, according to the instructor, is for us to save our lives when the bullets run out. Don't look at the short tip of this section, it is a high-end knife. It's made of fine steel. It's blown and broken...I heard people say that the cost of the transformation alone is worth half a gun! Except for our expeditionary army, no army in the world has such luxurious equipment!"

"Okay, I know you have good eyes and ears... Hurry up and search this area, if it goes well. Maybe we can catch up with the annihilation battle of the large troops ahead!"

Yan Chengbing and Mao Xinfang looked like civet cats in the jungle. It took less than half an hour to completely 'sweep' this small area with a radius of 50 meters, but unfortunately, except for Simao.No more fish slipped through the net.

After a little leisure, Yan Chengbing spoke again: "Maozi, you said that this battle is over, can we wipe out all the Mexican Maozi?"

Mao Xinfang rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction: "Come on, how many times have I told you, don't call me 'Maozi Maozi'! Maozi, Mexican Maozi, are you cursing me on purpose?... Well, according to my opinion, there are still battles Fight, I heard that there are still hundreds of recruits from San Francisco that have not been transported over!"

Yan Chengbing was a disciple of Hongmen before joining the army. He curled his lips: "There are still new recruits coming? It seems that they haven't learned enough lessons!"

Mao Xinfang is not from Hongmen, but before joining the army, he was a Chinese coolie on the west coast of the United States. He smiled disdainfully: "If you don't eat enough, eat again! Is the tiger skin of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty so big? He wanted to rebel and seize power when he first came. Clean them up, they think this is the Forbidden City, or a place where they do their best!"

The "they" that Yan and Mao said in their mouths, the judges want to understand clearly, but they have to go back to one and a half months ago.

On a certain day in October, two large ships arrived in San Francisco. Instead of blond foreigners, groups of Chinese with long braids and gauze jackets alighted. There were more than [-] of them!They disembarked, were quickly received, and then sent to the Cuban Expeditionary Force camp south of San Francisco.

Needless to say, these people were, of course, carefully selected by Emperor Guangxu and Master Weng to "occupy the magpie's nest." Seed's family will, relatives, guards!Banner people have domestic slaves, and Han people have retinues. They carry the emperor's decree, jade seal, sword and command flag, and they are full of arrogance and arrogance.

At the San Francisco Pier, it is a territory of foreigners, these more than [-] people still know how to restrain themselves, and most of them have not recovered from seasickness, so they did not flaunt and cause trouble, but when they are taken to the army camp by Ouyang Ming, these "seeds" will talk She lost her face, let go of her hands and feet, and became completely domineering.

Protected by the imperial decree, as soon as the 20 Bannerman seeds got familiar with the environment, they immediately ordered hundreds of slaves to manage the entire military camp as their own private property. All the weapons and supplies left in the warehouse were looted by these Bannerman slaves , They also set aside territory, surrounded their respective masters, and divided and ruled in the barracks.

The 36 Han seeds are a little bit better. They don’t go to compete with the bannermen for equipment. They have a holy will in their hearts, and their ultimate goal is to completely control this American and foreign army. He formally took over the Cuban Expeditionary Force, broke up the more than 100 recruits Gao Tianyang left in the barracks, and placed them under the command of each of the 56 seeds.

After all this was done, the Banner Seeds and the Han Seeds met, quarreled and wrangled, and finally divided the Cuban Expeditionary Force into 56 squads, each of which served as the leader of a squad.

In this way, the Cuban Expeditionary Force, which was still under Savi's 'command', was mistyped by this group of 'seeds' who had traveled across the ocean, and was forcibly 'incorporated' as Long Hao's Meiyang.

Ou Yangming watched from the side, dumbfounded, and wanted to remind them, but those bannermen and house slaves had their eyes on the top, and they completely ignored the words of the consul general.

And Ouyang Geng was even more happy to watch the jokes. He was from Li Hongzhang's family, and he would be the happiest if Mei Yang died in the hands of these idiots.

Mistaking 'Feng Jing as Ma Liang', these idiots don't know what is good and bad, and moved the Spanish Lord's team without saying hello, that would be a catastrophe!Ouyang Geng thought joyfully: when foreigners get angry, Meiyang is like a rabbit's tail, can it still grow?

After reorganizing the "American Ocean", the seeds began to mobilize their "military talents", instructing Ouyang Ming's consulate to post recruitment notices for them. (To be continued.)
