Expedition to Europe

As a recently rising power, under normal circumstances, the Brotherhood Alliance is not qualified to be registered with the British.

But at the same time, because of the expansion speed of the Brotherhood Alliance, the Brotherhood Alliance is qualified to be taken seriously by anyone.

James, who was going back to report the news, insisted on getting back his weapons and horses. As a soldier, losing weapons was unacceptable.

Yang Deshan did not mean to embarrass James. He ordered his men to return the weapons of the British squad to them and let them leave on their own.

This attitude obviously won the favor of the Gailyan garrison. Not long after James returned, several knights rode their horses towards Gailyan, and then a "Bulldog" drove towards Yang Deshan's location.

Yes, it is the Bulldog produced by Lan Fang, but this is the British version. It was produced in a factory in the UK authorized by Lan Fang. The British military purchased a batch of "Bulldogs" to equip the troops. They have been widely praised by the troops, especially in the environment of North Africa. The "Bulldog" is very popular because of its light body, wide tires and strong power.

The British are negotiating with the Lanfang factory to purchase the relevant patents of the "Bulldog" and have it produced by the British factory so that they can equip the troops on a large scale.

This level of negotiation is obviously beyond the decision of the "Bulldog" factory, and can only be handled by a higher level. This is also one of the negotiations that Qin Zhiyuan needs to conduct with the British during his visit to Europe this time. The itinerary was determined as early as three months ago.

At present, there are not many "Bulldogs" equipped by the North African troops. The fact that the Gharyan garrison can be allocated one can be regarded as a commander with considerable power.

Sure enough, when Yang Deshan saw the British captain who came on the "Bulldog", the badge composed of strange patterns on the left chest of the captain's uniform was very conspicuous.

Oh, this captain is actually a noble!

That's right. It is estimated that the captain from an ordinary family is not qualified to use the "Bulldog". Just like when Lanfang was just equipped with the "Bulldog", only people with special backgrounds are qualified to use it.

The phenomenon of seniority within the British military is also very serious, especially within the navy, where seniority has reached a level that is criticized.

The situation in the army was better, but not much better.

When the captain got out of the car, the soldier sitting in the front passenger seat jumped out before the car was stable, opened the door first, saluted respectfully, and waited for the captain to get out of the car.

Standard aristocratic style.

However, in the eyes of the surrounding Brotherhood Alliance soldiers, all this seemed to prove the privileges of these colonists in North Africa. Compared with Yang Deshan who insisted on not making special arrangements, the hatred in the eyes of the Brotherhood Alliance soldiers was particularly obvious.

The captain, who had been slightly raised his head and looked high above the top, probably also paid attention to what the surrounding soldiers were thinking. The captain's eyes were always on Yang Deshan.

Yang Deshan had already put on his clothes, but he still stood out from the crowd. When the captain got off the car, Yang Deshan stood there without moving. There were still many soldiers around Yang Deshan, but they all subconsciously stood one or two steps behind Yang Deshan. In this way, Yang Deshan's position was really a bit abrupt, and it was impossible not to notice him.

"Lewis?" The captain asked tentatively.

"Exactly, who is your Excellency?" Yang Deshan replied in English. Although it was not a standard London accent, it was still understandable.

"Hello, I am Henry Saxton, Captain of the First Army of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Libya. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ibrahim Lewis, who has been famous for a long time." Henry's words and sentences were very polite, but his expression was full of the superiority of the ruler over the ruled, that is, the kind of condescending look down on people, which made people very uncomfortable.

"Lewis Ibrahim." Yang Deshan was not very angry, and corrected calmly.

"Uh, I'm very sorry." Henry apologized immediately, but it was a bit perfunctory and there was not much sincerity in it.

Yang Deshan was not surprised. He was a nobleman. To put it nicely, it was his style. To put it bluntly, he was willing to say a few words to you, which was a great honor for you.

"Since you are here, you must have received Mr. James' report. What are you going to do, Mr. Henry?" Yang Deshan didn't get entangled in the details and went straight to the point.

"To be honest, you have caused me a lot of trouble, Mr. Lewis. There is one thing you must understand. I am now the highest commander of the Gailyan garrison. I am responsible for the peace here, so all military actions in this area must obtain my consent, but now, you and your brother alliance have become the main trouble maker in this area. I am confused by your behavior. At the same time, I want to remind you that Gailyan is under my protection. Without my permission, you can't mess around here. This is a matter of principle." Henry said a lot, and the central idea was one sentence. If I don't let you fight, you can't fight.

"I'm afraid you don't have the final say on this now. Life is always full of surprises, and you are facing one of them now." Yang Deshan said without excitement or discouragement.

"Accident? I'm afraid I don't think so." Henry still felt that everything was under control.

In fact, so far, the British have basically encountered no trouble in their rule in Libya.

Different from the "appeasement policy" implemented by the French in Algeria, the policy implemented by the British in Libya was relatively tough. For those Libyan elites who disobeyed management, the British set up concentration camps and cooperated with the "appeasement policy" "Exile policy", until the Libyan people wake up on a large scale, three or two people really can't stir up any trouble.

As one of the colonial rulers, Henry is still very confident about the situation in Libya. Even though the Brotherly Alliance has been gaining momentum recently, if the British really bring the colonial army over, the Brotherly Alliance will only die down. Henry has This certainty.

"No matter what you think, Mr. Captain, this matter is currently beyond your scope of authority. I think your best response now is to report it to your superiors and wait and see what happens. After all, what we are looking for is Galyan's. Those guys, not you." Yang Deshan didn't want to talk nonsense to Henry, who felt good about himself, and what he said was similar to an ultimatum.

Yang Deshan has no retreat now.

Jackson has already set off with his men and has surrounded Galyan. He is waiting for the time to launch an attack immediately. This is what the saying "the arrow is on the string and has to be fired" means.

"You are too arrogant. Do you know the nature of what you are doing? If you insist on going against England, the consequences may be beyond your control." Henry brought England out for support.

This is just like Americans in the 21st century who always put "America" ​​at the forefront, as if not saying so does not prove that they have a profound background.

Many times this is helpful, but sometimes it can be counterproductive.

In fact, no matter whether it is useful or not to threaten others by bringing out the country at every turn, speaking like this will make people very disgusted. Even if others are forced to surrender, they will still hold a grudge, and in the long run the gains will outweigh the losses.

Of course, for a small person like Henry, it would be a bit wrong to say "long term" to him.

"Forget it, we are not against England yet, but listen to your words, you have been trying to push us against England. What are you thinking? Are you crazy? Just because the situation is beyond your control now. Control? Then you better understand, on this matter "It is indeed beyond your control. You are just a captain and have no right to make any decisions. If you want to regain control of the situation, wait until you become the Governor of England in Libya." Yang Deshan felt a little tired, since I gave it to you. If you don't want to go down the stairs, then don't go down.

After hearing Yang Deshan's words, Henry's expression was wonderful, turning red and white like a chameleon.

For a moment, Henry wanted to take off his gloves, which were still on Yang Deshan's face, and have a fair duel with Yang Deshan, but looking at Yang Deshan's strong body and the eagerly watching Brother Alliance soldiers around him, Henry gave up the idea. .

That's how it is to pull off a tiger's skin and make a big show of it. It's best if you can bluff someone, but if you can't, you'll be embarrassed.

Henry was also a bachelor. Seeing me influencing the development of the situation, he didn't want to stay and continue to embarrass himself. He said, "I will definitely report this matter, just wait." Then he jumped on the bulldog and galloped away.

"Then you'd better write in more detail!" Yang Deshan shouted in the direction Henry was leaving, regardless of whether Henry could hear him or not.

At this moment, Jackson, who had been prepared for a long time, finally launched an attack.

Thousands of camel cavalry armed with scimitars and rifles swarmed towards Galyan from all directions. Their speed was not fast, but the team was neat and well-organized. There was no galloping or yelling, just slowly. Pushing towards Galyan, a very oppressive offensive method.

The residents of Galyan also obviously noticed something was wrong. Some soldiers gathered together, led by a big man over 1.9 meters tall, and prepared to launch a counterattack against Jackson and the others.

This countercharge was not to defeat Jackson, but to escape.

Strictly speaking, the people of Galyan are also a wandering people, but they settled earlier, but the blood of the wandering people still flows in their bones. Everyone knows how to deal with the situation of Team A, and dying together is definitely not the best option. , the long-term strategy is to keep the green hills and not worry about running out of firewood.

But all resistance is doomed to be in vain. Not all of Jackson's men are scimitars. At least one-third of the soldiers are equipped with rifles, and some are even equipped with Lewis light machine guns. The machine guns fight against the scimitars. It hasn't even started yet, it's actually over.

It's really an asymmetrical crushing.
