1890 King of Southeast Asia

On June 11, Yang Tao was summing up various information for a week.

"Find the enemy commander!" The Zhao family rushed into the front headquarters excitedly.

"Where is it? Is it caught?" Yang Tao stood up immediately, as long as he grabbed or solved General Hokle, in the case of occupying the scene, South China could declare victory.

"I didn't catch it, died, and the basement under the municipal building should be hit by the artillery, buried alive, and went to dig out for a long time before digging it out." Zhao Jiaxing smiled at Zhao Jiaxing.

"I'm afraid it's smelly?" The staff whispered.

"Put up the corpse, find a good coffin, sort out the relics, pack them to Surabaya, and spread the news of their commanders who have died, so that they will surrender quickly!" For more captives, Yang Tao has been looking for the rest.

Nanhua also needs to speed up the speed of cleaning the Luzon Islands. There were 8 million people before the war. Because of the conflict between locals and the Spaniards and the internal contradictions of the locals. At the beginning of the war, there were only more than 7 million people.

More than 7 million people, the amount of engineering is not small.

... ...

"So far, the war of Manila has spent one -sixth of military expenses. The big war has basically ended. As of today, the Army spent about 200 million and about 90 million navy. War funds are about to dry up." Xie Hui put the war in front of Liu Yiming.

This cost is ammunition, followed by food, medicine, tents and other daily necessities.

"Consumption is larger than we think, especially ammunition. As far as Manila war is concerned, in half a month, a total of more than 140,000 cannonballs consume more than 140,000. The habit is too expensive! "Xie Hui shook his head without staying.

Nanhua is a bit of money, but not much, it is too expensive, the shells supporting land, cheaper of small caliber, and large caliber are valuable!

A 152mm cannonball, worth 52 yuan, a 203 shells of 110 yuan, has not counted the launch medicine. An American worker's salary of one month is not enough to pay 152.

(One dollar 元 元）） （)

"The casualties in the lane battle are too great. It takes only more money. It can keep people the most important. What is the current casualties?" Liu Yiming waved his hand. Lane battles can ensure that the casualties are not high.

"As of today, during the war, 76 people were sacrificed, 114 were seriously injured, and more than 200 were injured.

Non -combat reduction is more serious. Thousands of people have been ill in the past week. We have increased the supply of drugs, but the cure is not cured. "Xie Hui was a little weak. He was doing he for fighting, and he couldn't reduce the membership.

Liu Yiming was helpless. Most soldiers were not aboriginals in tropical areas, and it was easy to erupt various diseases.

"The head of state, Command Yang's telegram." Secretary Wang shouted.

"Come in!" I hope some good news.

"Commander Yang found the enemy's commander, but he was dead." Seeing that it was Xie Hui, Secretary Wang said without fear.

Liu Yiming read the telegram for a while, and then handed the telegram to Xie Hui.

"Wait for you to deal with Lin Anmin, hold a press conference, publish the news, and make a story to Hokle by the way.

"This ..." Xie Hui didn't understand. The more heroic the enemy, the more I seemed to be insignificant?

"Isn't it possible to distinguish him from ordinary soldiers? The specific Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Information Division will handle it to give the Spaniards a step, and do business in the future. Don't be so aggressive."

Liu Yiming's purpose is very clear. The face that does not support it is like Spain. The Americans say that hitting you can hit you. This is still good.

Originally, the Americans proposed the ultimatum, and then the Spaniards accepted it in exchange for the "understanding" of the United States. The embarrassing and cheeky of the Americans launched a war, that is, he was unwilling to declare war and dragged Spain to declare war.

However, South China is not as thick as the United States, and South China, which has more than 20 million people on the bright side, actually has more than 20 million illiterate. The industrial output value relies on production daily chemical products, luxury goods, and drugs.

In essence, South China is still an agricultural country -only less than 5 people engage in industry, but the added value of the product is high.

If Liu Yiming has a population of 15 million and 15 million agricultural population, use face to British guys? Block Malacca.

You, come here!

"Another thing is that the United States blocked the Spanish Atlantic Fleet at the port of San Diego and was in full swing to attack." Secretary Wang also said.

Liu Yiming was a little surprised. This kind of military intelligence should be reported by Jiang Wang, right? Why do Secretary Wang know first?

"The Americans published these on the newspaper, blocked the port in the morning, and sent it in the afternoon ..." Seeing Liu Yiming's surprised expression, Secretary Wang quickly added and hurriedly took out the newspaper.

"And they even sent the troops to log in ..." Secretary Wang added.

Liu Yiming took the newspaper and found that it was really, looking at Xie Hui silently.

"If this happened in Nanhua, I would shoot all the scriptures!" Xie Hui sighed and couldn't understand it.

This is obviously military secret. Fortunately, the former is blocked, the latter ...

Can Americans even guarantee their own military secrets?

"Don't think about it. This is just an American show. It seems that our allies have been stimulated by us." Liu Yiming chuckled and felt indescribably happy.

"Forget it, don't worry about them. Let's finish the press conference first and declare that we have completed the full occupation of the Luzon Islands. The Americans will talk about the peace talks later." Liu Yiming had to contact Theodore. It would be better to stimulate him again and let him send more soldiers.

"It's going to be a hard life..." Looking at the war expense list, Liu Yiming sighed. There is still no money!

Three hundred million yuan was spent at one time. Although it was originally used for war funds, it inevitably affected the country.

For example, in a small town near Semarang, Huang Suqing was a little haggard due to the impact of the war.

"There are only so many. Oil tankers give priority to the front line, and transport vehicles are also..." Huang Suqing faced dozens of village heads or company commanders, all of whom came to buy diesel and gasoline.

Because of the unique conditions, there is no shortage of food. However, due to the scale and level of animal husbandry, as well as transportation problems after the war began, many supplies were not distributed in time.

For example, meat, sugar, cotton cloth, oil, and coal are all subject to certain controls, and this season is the peak season for rubber trees. Whether it is containers, cars, or oil, they are all under control.

It was late at night, and Huang Suqing returned home tired. Huang Butterfly had already prepared a meal and was waiting for her sister to come back.

As for Huang Zhengfang, he had already joined the Boy Scouts, but Huang Butterfly was rejected because of his poor physical condition.

"Fourth sister, I told you not to wait for me, and don't read books facing the candle, you will become nearsighted." Huang Suqing learned the word nearsightedness in the training school.

"I want to take the college entrance examination. The teacher said that only one out of a thousand people can go. If I don't work hard now, it will be too late!" Huang Butterfly rubbed her eyes.

"It's not a big deal to wait for these few days. Wait until these few days are over and the power is restored before we see." The two sisters debated daily.

Maybe children who have suffered are precocious? Huang Butterfly is very sensible, and the seventeen-year-old Huang Suqing is also used to being a mother.

"The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhengfang will be back, I don't know if he has lost weight..." Huang Hudie missed her brother a little. After Huang Zhengfang left, she was the youngest in the family, she was a little uncomfortable.

"Yes... Zhengfang will be back the day after tomorrow." Huang Suqing was thinking about what to eat, but there was no sugar, and there was only fish meat. Fortunately, it was not far from the sea, and the fish meat was still fresh...

………

"That Liu has killed Hawkel, the waste. Do you know what the magazines say about us now? They say that we have forgotten the glory of our ancestors, and the current army and navy are just cowards who are afraid of death, and I! This president! I am the leader of cowards! Do you know?"

McKinley took the nearest magazine and yelled at Theodore.

McKinley, who was very sure of re-election, was a little panicked now, as if everyone was dissatisfied with the stagnation of the army. Although he, a major, knew that laymen should not interfere with command, but who cared?

The president needed the army to start action, the voters needed to get the news of victory, and the business owners wanted to get the colony of Cuba. As for the soldiers? Who cares?

"As soon as possible, take action as soon as possible, don't let me find you again, my Deputy Minister of the Navy!" Because he was not interested in the navy, the Minister of the Navy was not interested in the navy either, so that he was in a somewhat embarrassing situation at the moment-he didn't even know the comparison of the enemy's strength.

Theodore was silent for a moment: "The navy has blocked the Spanish fleet in the port, they can't run away. Although I'm sorry to say this, I officially resigned as Deputy Minister of the Navy, and I will personally join the battle!"

McKinley was silent for a moment. Is this man playing too big? Everyone is just talking. Now the subordinates are really hard to lead. Can't even speak loudly?

"I'm serious!"

For a long time.

"Go! Young man, I know you have been waiting for this moment for a long time! You will become a hero and be the focus of everyone's attention!"

Those who don't know think it's true...

A few days later, the news of the First Volunteer Cavalry Brigade's expedition was flying all over the sky, and Theodore's reputation was expanded again as he wished.

(ps: This cavalry brigade should be a militia, because its members were organized by Theodore, including western cowboys, Theodore's alumni, etc., but he wore the rank of lieutenant colonel...)

At the end of June, when this cavalry brigade with only one horse arrived in Cuba, the Americans had already determined a decisive victory, so they are worthy of being politicians? Just picking up the reputation, the risk is small, and the benefits are huge.

…………

Time goes back to the 12th.

"General Hawker is undoubtedly an upright man. All the goodness of a person is reflected in him. After being surrounded by our army, everyone around General Hawker refused to surrender until they died in battle!

In the end, General Hawker did not want to see his subordinates sacrifice in vain, so he chose to swallow poison and commit suicide. He is a role model for soldiers...

We sorted out the general's relics, including a scepter... After the war, it will be handed over to the Kingdom of Spain together with the general's body. He is different from other Spaniards we met. He is not a coward. He is the glory of the Kingdom of Spain!"

Lin Pingzhi made a sensational speech at the press conference. Many female reporters couldn't help crying and repeatedly assured that they would record it intact.

When he arrived at the backstage, Lin Pingzhi hurriedly washed his eyes.

"Why are onions imported? Do any of us eat onions? I don't understand." Lin Pingzhi felt that his eyes were blind.

"It's no big deal. You've said it three times. Are you still a man?" Lin Anmin frowned.

You are great, you are noble. If you have the ability, try it?

Of course, Lin Pingzhi didn't dare to say this to his father.

"Is Yaodong on holiday tomorrow?" Lin Anmin didn't care about his son and asked his grandson.

"Is it? Isn't tomorrow the Dragon Boat Festival?" Lin Pingzhi was not sure, and he didn't pay attention.

"Humph! The matter of the international students has been coordinated. The French finally agreed. Don't mess it up for me." Having said that, Lin Anmin was still very satisfied with his son. There was no problem with his work.

…………

"Daddy!" 2. Liu Yiming held his children in each hand.

"Do you want to eat zongzi? Oh! You don't have teeth, you can't eat it~"

Watching Liu Yiming teasing the child, Zhang You looked on with an aunt's smile...

...

"Company commander, are you eating?" Wang Jin leaned on his crutches and moved step by step, holding a huge meat zongzi in his other hand and chewing it slowly.

"You are so lucky, the shrapnel hit you through." Kong Desheng looked at Wang Jin who could walk around with some envy, and also ate a zongzi, but it was a sweet zongzi, still huge, about the same size as his square iron lunch box.

"The zongzi wrapped by the logistics department is the biggest zongzi I have ever eaten in my life." Wang Jin teased. "How is the wound?"

Kong Desheng's face changed: "I may have to transfer to a local place. This leg! It won't be so flexible in the future."

The tone was full of sadness...

Wang Jin didn't know what to say for a while, and was silent for a long time...

...

"Sister, sister, Zhengfang is back!" Huang Hudie ran into the house excitedly.

Huang Zhengfang in the distance had a question mark on his face. Is that his fourth sister? Why did you run away when you saw me?

"Zhengfang! What are you doing? Come in quickly. I'm making zongzi." Huang Suqing came out to take a look, shouted, and her shoulders relaxed, and she returned to the kitchen.

"What did you bring?" Huang Butterfly took his bag, which was a bit heavy.

"Canned food given by the instructor, and gifts from friends. Sister, I also want to give them something. I will exchange canned food with you..." Huang Zhengfang said as she walked into the door.

"Come, eat it while it's hot, Xianyu Zongzi, my sister created it!" Huang Suqing took out a few zongzi, and even the zongzi leaves were delicate and cute.

………

"I said, can't you give in to the children?" Lin Anmin said to Lin Pingzhi unhappily.

Lin Pingzhi held a sweet zongzi in his hand, and his son ate the meat zongzi very firmly, but his eyes would look at the only sweet zongzi from time to time... Lin Anmin's family had no sugar, and the only two places with sugar were the army and the hospital.

The sugar was in the factory, but there was no extra transportation capacity. Lin Anmin didn't care. He took out the sugar jar at home and prepared one for his grandson.

Lin Pingzhi looked at Lin Yaodong. He just wanted to tease his son...

…………

"Wow~" The brother and sister who couldn't get the zongzi finally cried. Liu Yiming was busy packing...

……

"It's okay. You don't know how popular I am. I'm going to Borneo. Our division should also be stationed in Borneo. I can come out during the holidays. It's so sweet!" Kong Desheng took a bite of the zongzi and said to Wang Jin with a smile.

…

"It smells so good!" Huang Zhengfang took a bite. Although it was not his favorite sweet zongzi, the salty and fresh zongzi was novel enough.

"Fourth sister~ please~~" He ate and acted like a spoiled child, begging the fourth sister to sew a few belts for him, and embroider everyone's name on them.

"Okay, okay..." Huang Hudie took a bite of canned peaches and squinted her eyes in sweetness. "Sister, you have one."

...

"Here you go, but you have to bring a gift for dad next time!" Under Lin Anmin's murderous eyes, Lin Pingzhi finally told the truth. He was jealous.

"Thank you, dad, mom, we'll share it. This is very sweet..." Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work...
