Steel Dynasty - Chapter 982

[Chapter 976 Foreign Troops]

After coming out of Qingzhou University, Xiao Ming, Niu Ben, and Luo Quan returned to the palace.

In the royal study, Xiao Ming looked at the map of Siberia and said to the two of them: “I have always had an idea. Siberia is vast and remote. Even if it is occupied and controlled, it will be very difficult. It will also contain a lot of troops in the Chongqing Kingdom, so I want to establish a A foreign legion. This foreign legion is composed of Koreans and Japanese people, and they are allowed to fight against Tsarist Russian soldiers in Siberia. “

The foreign legion is somewhat similar to mercenaries,” Luo Quan said.

“Almost the same, but the difference is that this foreign legion will be trained by us and use our equipment. Its combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of mercenaries. Most importantly, the foreign legion will be more obedient.” Xiao Ming said with a smile.

In fact, he had this idea after occupying Goryeo and Japan. During the colonial wars in the Age of Discovery, it was almost common sense to train some indigenous troops to control the indigenous countries for themselves. Otherwise, relying on the country itself to maintain huge colonies would drag itself down. collapse.

During the war with Goryeo, Ye Qingyun had actually trained a group of foreign legions. This was the Goryeo army led by Li Chengzai. Although this army was not as sharp as the Chongqing army in capturing the southern city, it was still Able to complete most tasks.

The only shortcoming was that Li Chengzai finally tried to rebel because of his ambition, but he was also arrested by his generals.

“Your Majesty, isn’t this the Goryeo army that Li Chengzai once led? The general is worried that these soldiers are not loyal enough to the Chongqing Kingdom and will endanger the Chongqing Kingdom.” Niu Ben was a little worried.

Xiao Ming laughed when he heard this, and he said to the two of them: “You are worried for nothing. First of all, foreign armies will not prepare the same kind of firearms. Secondly, the war relies on the comprehensive national strength of a country. Now we have a strong industrial foundation. We can provide ample supplies for the war at any time, but what do the foreign legions have? Once they run out of ammunition, they are nothing more than lambs, and by using them, we can reduce the consumption of our own military strength. “

Luo Quan and Niu Ben looked at each other slowly .

He nodded. Due to the characteristics of firearms, it now only takes three months to train an army. The same is true for foreign armies.

“In this case, I will prepare for this foreign army when I get back and try to send them to Siberia as soon as possible.”

“Well, for the time being, we will only recruit 20,000 people, 10,000 Koreans and 10,000 Japanese people. People are always easy to deal with, and it is easy to control if something goes out of control,” Xiao Ming said thoughtfully.

The name of this foreign army is quite nice. In fact, it is just a puppet army. Ergouzi is the best. He knows that such an army has its disadvantages. It is easier to send equipment to the enemy, but he cannot hide his illness because of this. After all, there are still some problems in such an army. A certain combat effectiveness is enough to give Tsarist Russia a headache.

And contemporary history has proven that Goryeo has always been very qualified to play the role of Ergouzi. During the Japanese occupation, they attacked China for the Japanese, and during the American occupation, they worked for the American masters. They even participated in the Vietnam War and did many things more cruel than the US military. .

Naturally, he wanted to take advantage of a country with such characteristics.

As for the Japanese country, he did not believe in its apparent obedience. Goryeo was a small country and knew that it could not fight against the big country, so it was willing to be a lackey.

However, Japan’s apparent obedience actually contained evil intentions, and sooner or later it would backfire on its master.

During this time, he thought carefully about it. During the period when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, the Japanese were very obedient. Once it fell into decline, the Japanese would come up to take a bite and try their best to make the Central Plains dynasty subjugate. This proved that the Japanese people occupied the Central Plains dynasty. Constant ambition.

Moreover, the Japanese country’s narrow territory and continuous natural disasters gave the islanders a natural sense of insecurity. It was this fear based on survival instinct that made the Japanese country have an obsession with the huge territory of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Therefore, Xiao Ming has always been wary of the Japanese country while colonizing, and will not give it a chance to become stronger, otherwise the Japanese country will once again become a strong enemy of the Chongqing Kingdom.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Niu Ben and Luo Quan responded.

After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: “In addition, it’s time for the Golden Horde to tidy up. We can take this opportunity to test the power of Han-style rifles and Guards artillery. After the spring begins, let the thunder that guards Youzhou attack Rao. When the state advances, they must be punished severely this time, so that they understand that colluding with Tsarist Russia will lead to destruction!”

Niu Ben grinned when he heard this, and he said with some expectation: “Your Majesty, this attack Let the general of the Golden Horde go out in person. The general would like to see the power of Han-style rifles and Guards artillery in grassland combat,”

Luo Quan argued: “This opportunity should be given to young men like Lu Fei and Lu Quan. Come on, you and I can only make plans in the Military Aircraft Department, and this body can’t come.”

Niu Ben heard this, with a gloomy look on his face. Eleven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he is now gone .

He is more than a year old, and Luo Quan is about the same age.

A few days ago, the two of them talked about retiring from the court.

Opening his mouth, Niu Ben said: “Yes, the world is dominated by young people now, but it is my lifelong wish to destroy the Golden Horde. Your Majesty, please let the last general go to the battlefield for the last time.”

“Your Majesty, I If I go with him, I guess I won’t go to the battlefield that many times in the future,” Luo Quan said with emotion.

Xiao Ming’s eyes wandered over the two veterans. They had indeed done too much for the country of Chongqing in their lives, and it was time for them to live a comfortable life.

He also understands their current thoughts very well, and he will not force it. Although Lian Po is old, can he still make a living? It represents a spirit of not admitting defeat, but after all, time is not forgiving.

“I understand the thoughts of the two generals. The Golden Horde has always been the enemy in your hearts that you have sworn to destroy. After all, the Golden Horde owes us Dayu a too much blood debt, and it is also your lifelong enemy. In this case, I will You are allowed to lead the army north to eliminate this serious problem,” Xiao Ming said softly. Niu Ben and Luo Quan were both generals who lived in Xiao Wenxuan’s era. Their lifelong enemies were always the barbarians, but now the goal of the young generals is to compete with the European powers. .

“Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. After this battle, our wishes will be fulfilled. This position should be given to young people. Lu Fei, Luo Xin, Lei Ming, Ye Qingyun and others are all young and promising generals. Since You can replace the two of us,” Niu Ben said slowly.

Xiao Ming nodded, and they were not lying, so he said: “The two generals have made up their minds, so I will not force them to stay. I only hope that the two generals can give more guidance to these juniors. I can do it in the military academy.” I’ve reserved a seat for you.”

I’m already in Shanghai, continuing my journey to see a doctor. I’ll go back to see a doctor tonight to make up for it.
