[190] Shirk responsibility

() Finally, the wreckage of the mobile land gun and the assembled Maxim heavy machine gun were also found, because they were too damaged to be used anymore, so Hong Yihe sent someone to load them into a car and send them back to the base village in the north to the craftsmen there Check to see if there is value in reusing the waste.

All of a sudden, everyone was busy, cleaning the battlefield, counting the number of casualties, escorting prisoners... These things are extremely cumbersome, so I won't list them one by one.

In the fishing ground in the valley, the lake was as calm as a mirror, and it seemed that it didn’t feel that there was an extremely fierce battle in front of the nearby woods. In the evening, it finally ushered in the first batch of visitors of the day: A group of captives led by Sinclair.

Most of the wooden houses next to the lake have been transformed into captive rooms. Billindley, as the 'charitable' commander who didn't kill a single escort, was treated fairly well and was given a separate room, which made the elite instructor of the Morgan family Have time to think about your own failures, and even the way out in the future.

Bilindley retains the pride that white people have had for hundreds of years. He believes that these yellow-skinned guards would never dare to kill him, and his survival to this day seems to prove this guess from the side. . .

Billindley turned somersaults on the bed, his stomach rumbled, he rubbed his flat belly, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "Don't you have dinner yet, I'm going to starve to death..."

Just as Bilindley was complaining, the door of the room opened suddenly. Bilindley's eyes lit up, thinking that the dinner had been delivered in advance, he quickly turned over and sat up, but to his surprise, it was a short acquaintance who entered Sinclair Rockefeller.

"Hahaha, Sinclair? I'm sorry, sorry, I almost didn't recognize you with your appearance!"

When the guards closed the door of the room heavily, Billindley couldn't help laughing heartlessly: "What's the matter with your clothes? There are holes one after another, and they are colorful. Are you looking at me?" You're so lonely, did you deliberately pretend to be a clown to make me happy?"

Just as the Morgan and Rockefeller consortiums are not at odds with each other, Sinclair and Billindley, who are in two camps, have always been rivals who dislike each other since they entered Alaska!

Cynicism is commonplace.

Sinclair's attire remained unchanged.It's just that there is a thick bandage on the head, there is no way, who made him lose an ear... If it is not bandaged, it will be indecent to look at.

Sinclair had a gloomy face, thick enough to drip water, and he snorted, "Billindley, you bastard, how dare you use words to amuse me? Hmph, if you hadn't sent back wrong information, I wouldn't have led my troops." Come here to save you! Use your pig brains. Think about it, how to explain to the family when you go back!"

The 100 security forces died with less than [-] people left, but Sinclair didn't feel sad at all. Most of them were hired veterans. Since they paid their salaries, they died in battle. It is a matter of course that Sinclair can't earn half a drop of tears.

Sinclair is more concerned now.How can I reduce the guilt of defeating the army.

Billindley was very surprised: "What wrong information? Me, I didn't pass it back!"

"Still quibbling. Why not, the people you sent are all..."

Sinclair and Billindley stared bull-eyed and communicated, and then realized that all this was designed by the guards in order to attract reinforcements from the security forces so that they could eat them bite by bite!

"...In short, it's still your dereliction of duty!"

After talking.Even though Sinclair knew the whole story, he still rolled his eyes and scolded severely: "Bilindley, you attacked an aboriginal fishing ground overnight, with 500 people. You will be beaten to annihilation and trapped here! Even a letter sent None of the people escaped back, which made the main force of the guards who came later take advantage of the loopholes, pretending to be our people, and passing back false information! You are fully responsible for this!"

"How do I send someone?"

Hearing this, Billindley's face became extremely ugly, and he jumped out of bed and shouted: "Sinclair, you don't have a back pain when you stand and talk, you don't know how powerful Schmidt's guards are, they can put explosives Wrapped together and thrown from far away, and as long as we step out of their circle, we will be mercilessly blown to pieces!"

Speaking of this, Billindley's body trembled violently, and he said with lingering fear: "You haven't seen that scene, a few bundles wrapped in explosives fell, and my soldiers were shot like dozens of shells. It was blown to pieces, and flesh and blood flew everywhere! That's a miserable scene..."

As soon as he smelled the explosive package, Sinclair's short body seemed to have been struck by lightning. While shaking his tiny pendulum, his face became extremely pale: "You, you also encountered that explosive package? No, no wonder ..."

The psychological shadow brought by the explosive package to Sinclair will never be lower than that of Bilindley, at least Bilindley still witnessed the explosion of the explosive package from a long distance, while Sinclair was almost buried under the ferocious power of the explosive package. It wasn't for Hong Yihe's 'good intentions' to have someone wake him up with ice-cold snow water. I'm afraid this top student at West Point is still stuck in a myth and looks like a madman!

"Huh? Your soldiers also came across that dynamite...package?"

Billindley quickly guessed what happened to Sinclair from his strange behavior, and quickly asked: "By the way, I haven't asked you carefully, Sinclair, how many soldiers did you bring to rescue me? Hehe, now You were also arrested, so you must have suffered a lot, right?"

"Hey, I..."

Sinclair rolled his eyelids and sat on the ground slumped. When he recalled the nightmare explosion, his thoughts of shirking responsibility and evading punishment disappeared, so he explained what happened before in a very low tone. He told Billindley all the details.

"What? You actually ruined a team of 1000 people? You, you really..." Billindley screamed when he heard the end, but there was only a little bit of grief in his tone, and more of a strong sense of schadenfreude .

The two led the army, and almost all of them were wiped out, but they were five hundred, and the other was one thousand. Whoever was more incompetent could be distinguished at a glance.

"I, I met the main force of the guard!" Sinclair also realized after finishing speaking: Billindley is his deadly enemy, isn't it humiliating to the other party by saying this?

"Hmph. Then you brought a land artillery and a heavy machine gun too!" Billindley continued to say, "Hey, you have ruined the whole team of our security forces!"

"Can it be all my fault?"

Sinclair's heart was filled with anger, he stood up and nodded Billindley's nose, and said, "If it wasn't for saving you bastard, would I need to go through the woods full of ambushes? I need a land artillery and a heavy machine gun Have these two secret weapons been exposed in advance? Billindley, don’t think that you can get rid of your responsibility if I’m unlucky! The two of us combined have lost more than half of the security forces. We are now grasshoppers on a rope If you don't work together, you will not escape the family's severe punishment if you go back!"

Sinclair's words were quite true, Billindley blushed, and turned his head away: "Well... do you have any good ideas?"

Sinclair rolled his eyes and spoke slowly: "According to my thinking, the reason why we were defeated was not because of poor command, but because of the package containing explosives..."

"You're right!" Billindley agreed deeply, and nodded in agreement: "My team was bombed that way, and its spirit was blown away..."

Who said no?

Sinclair also regretted and hated in his heart: My Maxim heavy machine gun, how well I hid it along the way... At that time, there was obviously a chance to turn defeat into victory, but there was such a lunatic in the guards who used his body as a shield , but also to rush up and blow us up!

"This explosive package. The idea is not very clever. It is nothing more than wrapping the outer layer of the explosive with a circle of something. Add the fuse and ignite it before throwing it out!"

Sinclair analyzed: "Once we know the method, we can do it easily!"

"I agree too, but it's easy to make, but..."

Lindley spent a few more days thinking about explosives than Sinclair. He shook his head and sighed: "Maybe it is possible to use explosives in this way. At present, it is really only the escort team! Not to mention, At least among the security forces we hired, no one is willing to bring something that can explode at any time, let alone be able to throw it so far with bare hands!"

Explosive kits don't have much technical content.The reason why the Dragon Scale Army on Long Hao's side was made first and put into actual combat was because Long Hao, a traveler who pierced through this thin layer of window paper, also joined forces with the Chinese people who are not afraid of hardships and death. It's about spirit.

For those American veterans who are willing to die, not to mention how far their arms can throw the explosives, just convincing them to carry the unstable explosives on their backs and set foot on the battlefield is an impossible task in itself .

So from this point of view, Billindley and Sinclair's defeat is not unjust.

"You and I know the fighting power of the guards. They have cavalry, well-equipped infantry, and even brave warriors who can throw explosives far away..."

After thinking it over, Sinclair also felt very helpless about the fact that only the guards could use the explosives. He calmed down his emotions and said to Lindley: "However, only the two of us who have been defeated know about this. ...didn't know!"

Billindley rolled his eyeballs, as if he understood Sinclair's hint, and quickly continued in a low voice: "You mean..."

"Only if the family suffers the same as us, our guilt will be lessened!" Sinclair's eyes flickered with a devilish light.

"Yes, you are quite right!"

A cunning and vicious smile appeared on the corner of Billindley's mouth: "Anyway, the rest of the security forces are absolutely unable to withstand the attack of the guards. Since they are all doomed to fail, why should we be this scapegoat?"

Sinclair and Billindley, two enemies who are against each other, hold hands together at this moment...

After all, both Sinclair and Billindley are just instructors who are loyal to the family. They have no absolute loyalty to Pulitzer and Kingclair. Lai Maili was not convinced at all.

He was unlucky, so he never minded that Jinclair and others also had a taste of unlucky.

It was night, when the dinner was delivered, Sinclair expressed his desire to meet with the highest officer of the guards. After dinner, a guard opened the door and took Sinclair away with a serious face.

As for what Sinclair and Hong Yihe said and what they traded that night, it is temporarily unknown.

Sinclair was completely defeated, but Pulitzer and others far away in Mingyue Village didn't know that they were still dreaming of occupying the fishing ground, defeating the guards, and going north to monopolize all the warm fish resources in their hands!

This morning.Pulitzer convened a meeting with the leaders of the six major consortiums including Kingclair, because the results of Sinclair's victory had not yet been reported, and a bad news had reached their ears first.

In many base villages around Mingyue Village, there are sales of constant temperature towers!

"This is the division plan of Special Envoy Schmidt!"

Pulitzer's face was extremely ugly, the cigar in his mouth was almost crushed by him, and he slapped the table.He roared angrily: "He actually met with the heads of those small consortiums in secret, and sold the constant temperature tower to them at an extremely cheap price!"

"Two dollars each..."

Aymoang's tone was full of playfulness, he touched his red rosacea nose, and said with a slightly sour taste: "Schmidt has paid a lot of money this time!"

Could it be blood?

Although the real cost of the thermostatic tower is still unclear, the thermostatic tower I "smuggled" from the small fishing village cost ten dollars each, but now my allies can buy it for only one-fifth of the price. Such a discount To such a degree that Aimoang, who is extremely sensitive to numbers, was moved by it!

If it wasn't for the fact that the seven consortiums were tied together, he really wanted to go to Schmidt's to buy the 'preferential' thermostatic tower.

"What kind of money is this?"

Pulitzer's eyes were extremely sharp.He guessed Aymoang's general thoughts with a quick scan, and he snorted coldly: "Wen Wen Yu is in Schmidt's hands, so of course he can set the price as he wants! Two dollars, hehe, this is from the opposite side. It shows how big the profit margin of the constant temperature tower is! If we completely control Wenwenyu according to the plan, this huge profit will belong to us! What do you think?"

Pulitzer Morgan understands people's hearts deeply, and with a single sentence, he brought back the souls of people with different thoughts: Don't be suspicious, what is there to be jealous of for a two-dollar thermostat?As long as we completely smash Schmidt's escort.If you monopolize Wenwenyu, the profits you will get will be unprecedented!

"Mr. Morgan is right!"

Kinclair took the lead in expressing his opinion: "This is just a small trick of Schmidt. Please think about it, everyone. Doesn't it just show that he is not strong enough and lacks confidence from another aspect? Schmidt will be there tomorrow. He will arrive at Mingyue Village to negotiate with us, he did this just to add some bargaining chips to the negotiation!"

I said it before.Pulitzer invited Schmidt to come over to discuss the mining and other matters, and Schmidt readily agreed, and according to the itinerary he sent to inform him not long ago, tomorrow is the time for him to arrive in Mingyue Village.

"Wonderful. Mr. Mai Li sees it very clearly!"

Pulitzer applauded lightly, then frowned again and said, "Schmidt dares to come, we will give him a blow! However... Sinclair has not heard back from Sinclair, and we don't know about him. Did you rescue Billindley and the others?"

The results of Sinclair's victory played a very important role in Pulitzer's decision-making. We have not yet received the exact information from that side. Pulitzer is not yet sure whether he will take a tough approach against Schmidt tomorrow. number.

"There won't be any accidents?" West muttered across the table, but was immediately refuted by Kinclair.

"There can be no accidents. One-third of the six land cannons brought by our family were handed over to Sinclair! With the power of the land cannon and Sinclair's rich command experience, they and the guards The confrontation between the two teams will definitely win a big victory!"

Land artillery!

In a moment of excitement, King Klay said that he had leaked this secret, which made the eyes of the other six managers, including Pulitzer, brighten: Unexpectedly, Rockefeller also brought such a big killer, tsk tsk, Liumen Lu Battle cannon, what the hell are they trying to do?

Pulitzer's heart skipped a beat: Land artillery?Could it be the mobile land artillery mentioned in the intelligence?Rockefeller came to Alaska this time, and his plot was not small!I must not take it lightly.

Just as everyone fell into a strange silence, the door of the conference room was knocked hastily. After the door opened, a messenger came in leading a tired but happy security soldier.

"Report, great victory! The security forces led by Sinclair have defeated the main force of the escort and successfully rescued the trapped Birindley..."

Pulitzer and the others were refreshed by the messenger's words. They had waited too long for this news, and it came just in time, just like the rain after a long drought!

The good news was overjoyed, and the embarrassing atmosphere in the room caused by King Klay's leaked 'six marine guns' disappeared immediately.

The travel-stained security soldier took a few breaths: "Report to my lords, this battle... huh, we fought very hard, the main force of the guard almost came out, there were nearly 4 people, huh... ...Fortunately, our weapons are superior, and Commander Sinclair is commanding properly, so although our loss is not small, the main force of the guard team is even more elite, huh... Now the team is rectifying in the fishing ground, Mr. Sinclair I'm afraid that the adults will not be relieved, so let me rush back first!"

Nearly 4000 people!

Everyone was shocked when they heard this: Schmidt's guard team only had a total of 5000 people, and this time it was really an all-out force, and a big trap was set in the fishing ground waiting for Sinclair!Fortunately, we won...

King Klay hurriedly asked, "How big is our loss?"

The security soldier who reported the news said: "We lost more than 500 soldiers, thanks to the support of artillery and heavy machine guns... The battle lasted for nearly a day, and it was very tragic. Chief Sinclair was also wounded. Fortunately, his life was saved. No problem!"

And a heavy machine gun? (To be continued.)
