C560 Its time to strike back (1/2)
The guilty ones had to kill the ordinary citizens, while the middle ones had to cut off their hands and feet in order to fight off the enemy's morale. Even those auxiliary force who did not commit any small sins would need to work hard for a period of time to wash their brains and only then would they be able to relax.
Since the Qing Dynasty had started it, the new army would not hold back either. Xiao Letian used his pencil to go over the map of the Tanggu one more time: ”From the south to the north, Little Station Town, Gou, Army Food City …” ”If we go further north, all the way to the camp city south of the Ning River, this place will become the territory of our new army...”
”This county is a realm that I, Xiao Letian, have cut off from the Qing Dynasty. Their English and French can have this realm, so why can't I, Xiao Letian, have it?”
”Send troops up, take over the local security in the name of exterminating the bandit forces. Repeat the checkpoint according to the line I drew on the map …” ”Whether it's the roads or the rivers, build permanent posts and send troops to guard them …”
”Aren't we the Green Battalion that has rebelled? Train well for a few months. In the future, they will be the garrison troops of the Tanggu …”
”The Shattered Waves and two more scissor boat, charge along the sea river, let the citizens of TIANJIN Wei see our majestic military might. Since the Qing Dynasty wants to play big, then we will play bigger …”
”What about the foreign engineers? What about the volunteers who volunteered to join our army? Arm them all together and attack the TIANJIN Wei... Let them call for compensation, saying that Maylor's army have taken their property, and they want to protest against the Qing Government … ”
Xiao Letian continuously gave out orders, and his subordinates quickly recorded it down in their books. Each mission was assigned to a reasonable person of responsibility, and every two to three minutes, a messenger soldier would run out like a passing lantern.
”Prime Minister, can this be used to provoke Qing Dynasty? Would they be forced to deploy more troops to encircle and annihilate the enemy? Even if there was no army, what about the Qing San Ye? Madame is also in the Jingshan … ” someone asked in the meeting.
Xiao Letian sneered and said, ”I don't even need to explain this. Mister Pierre had already made his judgement a long time ago …” With that, Xiao Letian waved his hands towards Pierre, meaning for him to say a few words.
Pierre knew English and German, and Xiao Letian's officers could understand these two languages, so there was no problem communicating with the new army.
”As for the Qing Dynasty, my analysis is rather optimistic. Firstly, how much guts do you think they have to take action against a government that only knows of Xiao Letian's death? Now that Xiao Letian has returned back to China alive, do they still dare to fight? ”
”Secondly, our Prime Minister possesses the first modern newspaper of the Qing Dynasty. This is a tool for public opinion that is even more powerful than those with the right words. He can easily tear apart Qing Dynasty's lies, do you think he isn't afraid?”
”The Last Point... Although the Prime Minister didn't give me too much information, but with the limited information before me, I can confirm that the Manchu's regime isn't as strict as I thought it was, and there must be more factions inside than I thought. ”
Molière shrugged his shoulders, ”I don't believe that our Prime Minister has no arrangements. The Qing San Ye you are talking about is also not an easy opponent … ”
At this moment, a loud report came from outside the door. Wang Huaiyuan, Chun Sanshiniang wishes to meet the Prime Minister! ”
”Come in …” You two are finally back. Everyone, stand up and clap your hands in thanks to Huaiyuan and Aunt Thirteen for helping us defend our old home! ” Xiao Letian took the lead and stood up, filling the study room with applause.
Wang Huaiyuan and Chun Sanshiniang were stunned once they entered the room. The two of them never expected to be treated with such courtesy, especially Thirteen Niang, the famous big sister of the Beijing.
”I don't dare, I don't dare …” I am already ashamed that I did not manage to defend the capital! ” The two of them hurriedly clasped their fists in apology.
”What kind of bullshit is that?” In terms of responsibility, I, Xiao Letian, admit that I, as the first person, did not insist on going to Europe, and the enemy would not take the opportunity to cause trouble.
After saying that, Xiao Letian personally moved two chairs over and placed them on his left and right, he grabbed Wang Huaiyuan in one hand and Thirteen Mother's other hand and forced his into the chair with the other.
~ Honor, this is truly a supreme honor. As a Transcender, Xiao Letian's life is filled with some subconscious equality that can warm the hearts of his subordinates.
Perhaps it was because of these small emotions that the cohesiveness of the guild was growing stronger and stronger.
”Reporting to Prime Minister, Beijing has indeed suffered heavy losses in our intelligence network, but what's fortunate is that we only lost third and fourth string spies, the real first and second string spies are all hiding pretty well. Basically, as long as the situation gets better, we can recover our intelligence network within three months …”
The capital has suffered a bit more, but there is also good news. Our local intelligence personnel s have barely received any damage, especially those spies from the counties and prefectures. They could easily be bought with a few hundred taels of silver.
