Expedition to Europe

Chapter 649 Mamluk (This chapter is for

In fact, neither side is a good thing. The British hope that the alliance of brothers will cause trouble on the French territory, and it will be the same if it is the French. As long as they don't cause trouble on the French territory, they will give them whatever they want, no money.

It is said that in North Africa, the British and the French are also in a competitive relationship. Even though the entire Africa is almost divided between the British and France, the British and French are endlessly thirsty for land. As long as there is a chance, no one would mind taking it. The borders expand outward.

For Yang Deshan and the fraternal alliance, it is the same whether they are the British or the French. They are all foreign invaders, enemies who dominate the North African people, and they are all objects that need to be overthrown.

The struggle also requires strategy. To a certain extent, it is necessary to compete with the tiger and compromise with the snake. Therefore, after Yang Deshan weighed it, he chose the French as his temporary partner and prepared to have a good time in Libya.

After all, the weapons provided by the French do not cost money, and now Yang Deshan is really short of money.

In fact, after the World War, due to the large-scale recovery of soldiers, both the British and the French had a large amount of surplus arms. These arms have a shelf life. Rather than leaving them moldy and rusty in warehouses, it is better to take them out and export them to the outside world. , maybe there will be some unexpected gains.

Well, no matter how much the Brotherhood Alliance tries, it is actually within the scope of North Africa and will not cause any substantial harm to the French and British. The British and French are not stupid at all.

Maintaining colonial rule also comes at a cost. For the French and British, no matter who cooperates with them, it will not have much impact on them.

For example, although an oil field has been discovered in Tunisia now, the oil field actually has little to do with France. The French government does receive a certain amount of tax revenue from the oil field, but more of the profits generated by the oil field flow into It is in the hands of the Tunisian royal family. To say that the French government does not covet this money is not in line with the tradition of the French government.

If a force can now overthrow the Tunisian royal family and share the profits from the oil fields with the French government, then everyone will be happy with the result. The French government will not embarrass this force if it criticizes it, but will secretly support it. This is in the interest of France. Smart move.

The same is true for the British. If the British want to develop the oil fields in Galyan, they must cooperate with the local forces in Libi Adam. In the same way, when the oil is mined in the future, the British will also share the profits with the local forces. , for the British, there is not much difference between who shares the profits. The key is that the British government should get its deserved share.

Therefore, the current slogan of the Brotherhood Alliance is not "anti-British" or "anti-French", but against the secular feudal class in North Africa. This limits the contradictory relationship to the scope of internal contradictions and will not cause the British and French to strong resistance.

Because of this, even though the Alliance of Brothers has now shown a certain degree of aggression, the British and French still maintain a certain degree of contact with the Alliance of Brothers and have not broken their skin.

After presiding over the joining ceremony of the newcomers, Yang Deshan immediately got on a camel and announced his departure without delay.

The Alliance of Brothers actually has cars, with a total of more than 20 trucks and a dozen three-wheeled motorcycles. Such a small number of cars will definitely not be able to carry all the fighters of the Alliance of Brothers, so the most commonly used means of transportation in the Alliance of Brothers is camels.

As a "prophet", Yang Deshan must lead by example. A camel is a camel. In fact, putting on equipment and spreading a blanket is not bad, and it is not so conspicuous among the knights. This is a good disguise.

But others don't see it that way. As a leader, leaving the car instead of sitting in it and riding a camel every day is definitely a sign of high moral integrity. Even if the gods descend to earth, it is nothing more than this. Especially those soldiers who ride in cars, every time they see Yang Deshan riding a camel Even the camels felt their chests surging. If they could follow such a leader to fight, even if they died gloriously, it would be worth it.

The Brotherhood Alliance still provides pensions to the soldiers who died in the war. Even if the current life is not easy and the economy is relatively tight, the Brotherhood Alliance also ensures the lives of the families of the soldiers who died in the war. The living soldiers see it, and naturally There are no worries, and every time we fight, we fight bravely to be first and unwilling to be trailed by others.

Such a team is easier to lead, has high energy, high morale, almost no internal friction, and can release all its energy onto the battlefield in every battle.

Before leaving, Yang Deshan did not forget to ask his younger brother Yang Dehai to take good defense in Gudamis. The Brotherhood Alliance has offended many forces now. Although it is maintaining its expansion trend, it still cannot forget to defend its base so that it can continue to grow.

Gudamis now has nearly 10,000 wives of Brothers Alliance fighters and more than 20,000 children of Brothers Alliance fighters. These children are the most important. They are the future of Brothers Alliance. As long as these children are around, the Brothers Alliance will not be what it is now. All the soldiers are dead, and they will be able to form a team in a few years.

Therefore, in this attack on Galyan, Yang Deshan only took away more than 2,000 soldiers, but more than 3,000 soldiers stayed in Gudamis to defend.

More than two thousand people are enough. If there are no accidents, the team will only grow stronger when Yang Deshan comes back.

After leaving Ghadames, Yang Deshan and his team headed northeast. The whole way was a Gobi desert with only a few oases and no tribes living there. It was not until the evening that Yang Deshan and his team arrived at a small town called "Dairaj".

It is a bit of an exaggeration to call it a "small town". It is just an indigenous gathering area with a radius of one or two square kilometers, which is similar to a larger village. It doesn't look like there are many people. It is estimated that there are one or two thousand people.

When Yang Deshan arrived at Dailaji, Dailaji was already a sea of ​​fire. No one was seen fighting the fire nearby. There was only a large number of headless corpses near the sea of ​​fire, proving what had happened here.

Without waiting for Yang Deshan's instructions, the servant Sharimu whistled and called a team of cavalry to go out to Dailaji to check the fire situation.

Not long after, Sharimu came back on a camel, panting to report to Yang Deshan: "It was done by the major and his men. I found the major's mark. The major has continued to move north and is heading towards Gharyan."

"Major" is Jackson. Although the Brotherhood Alliance now has more than 5,000 people, the titles of Yang Deshan and Jackson have not changed. Yang Deshan is still "Colonel", Yang Dehai is still "Lieutenant Colonel", and Jackson is still the third oldest.

This situation will not last too long. It is estimated that after conquering Gharyan, these three colonel-level officers will be promoted to generals.

It is estimated that by then, Yang Deshan will not need to ride a camel anymore. He is already a "general", so he must get an Arabian horse to ride.

"Set up camp, we will sleep here tonight." Yang Deshan did not wait for Sharimu to come to help, and he jumped off the camel with his arms.

There is a large area of ​​corpses nearby, and sleeping here at night is not uncomfortable.

Because of the presence of the camel team, Yang Deshan and his team did not move fast. It was only more than 80 kilometers from Ghadames to Dellagi. Although the car could still run, the camels were exhausted, so it was better to take a rest.

Camels are indeed easy to take care of. They can eat for three months, but not needing to replenish food does not mean that they do not need to rest. Camels also need to rest constantly to maintain sufficient physical strength, which is similar to humans.

Before setting up the tent, you still have to eat to replenish your physical strength.

Speaking of which, this is the second meal that Yang Deshan and his team have eaten today, but there is no problem. Everyone is used to it. Because they are on the expedition, the food preparation is still relatively sufficient. Water is carried in leather bags. The rice is millet rice fried with chicken and vegetables. It can't be said to be very delicious, but it is already a supreme delicacy in North Africa.

After eating, Yang Deshan walked to the large area of ​​corpses and looked at them carefully.

They were basically adults. Some of them seemed to be killed first and then beheaded with a sharp blade. It is estimated that they died in the process of resistance. Another part of them was beheaded directly. It is estimated that these people would rather die than surrender. Yang Deshan can still distinguish them.

The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!

Such a large number of corpses, with more than a hundred people, is indeed a bit creepy.

But except for a few half-grown children, there is no woman or child. It does look a bit cruel, but this is the normal form of the North African war. Looking at the knife wounds on the necks of those beheaded people, it is indeed Jackson’s usual method.

"Lord, forgive these lost lambs, they are just confused by the devil, so they made mistakes..." Yang Deshan muttered to himself and prayed for these dead, which really had a bit of the bluffing posture of a charlatan.

"Call some people over and bury these people, bury them deeper." Yang Deshan still respected the dead, and instructed Sharimu after praying.

Sharimu responded and turned to run towards the camp.

Yang Deshan shook his head and sighed, walking back a little lonely.

A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people. Yang Deshan understood this truth, but every time he saw such a tragedy, Yang Deshan couldn't help but feel confused.

What exactly is this?

Yang Deshan had asked himself countless times.

Unfortunately, there was no answer.

In the middle of the night, Yang Deshan was suddenly awakened by the shrill sound of gunfire.

Almost as a conditioned reflex, Yang Deshan instantly jumped out of the tent with a revolver in his hand.

"There are people harassing outside the camp. We don't know who the other party is yet, and we don't know how many people there are. Our captain has taken people to chase them. Please rest assured, Colonel." A knight came to report on a camel. The camel seemed a little out of control and kept circling in place.

"Go and ask him to come back. If you don't know how many people there are, don't chase them. Are you crazy?" Yang Deshan was immediately furious.

How can you chase them in this situation? Just defend where you are and wait until dawn to deal with them. This is clearly written in the "Training Manual". Yang Deshan has emphasized this many times. I don't know which captain took the wrong medicine to make such a big mistake.

Yang Deshan decided to remove the captain and resolutely punish this unorganized and undisciplined behavior.

While thinking, Yang Deshan suddenly heard Sharimu's sharp warning: "Be careful!"

Yang Deshan looked up and found that the knight was holding a pistol, and the black muzzle was pointing at him.
