Expedition to Europe

Perhaps for ordinary people, Terry Corrige, with the title of "Governor's Special Envoy", is indeed quite intimidating.

To Yang Deshan, "Special Envoy" is nothing but a cloud.

He is just a messenger.

It can be seen that Yang Deshan does not have much respect for Terry Corrige, especially under the premise that Terry Corrige has offended Yang Deshan many times.

After sending Terry Corrige away, Yang Deshan immediately ordered people to inform Yang Dehai and Jackson to be vigilant.

The polite words should be said, and the precautions should be taken.

Although it seems that the British's choice to cooperate with Yang Deshan is a win-win situation, only God knows whether the governor will have a brain twitch. If the governor is reckless and wants to deal with the Brotherhood Alliance, Yang Deshan cannot be without any defense.

Yang Deshan also made moves in Gharyan. In order to respond quickly to possible British attacks, Yang Deshan optimized the manpower in Gharyan. Two thousand soldiers were selected as mobile reaction forces and left Gharyan under the leadership of Yang Deshan. They cruised around Gharyan. The remaining more than 9,000 women and children and soldiers who did not enter the mobile reaction force continued to stay in Gharyan as bait.

Bait!

Since they are bait, they will be abandoned when necessary. Although Yang Deshan's behavior sounds a bit cruel, it is the only way to survive in this chaotic world.

For Yang Deshan, or for the North African nomads, women are always not valued. If you don't have a wife, you can rob them. If you don't have children, you can have children. As long as you have military force, even if all the women and children in Gharyan are lost, it won't take long for Yang Deshan to raise a team of the same size again.

Or a larger scale.

Of course, things can be done this way, but they can't be said.

Yang Deshan led the mobile troops to leave Gharyan, not under the banner of guarding against the British, but under the banner of continuing to increase the population of Gharyan, which kept the people who stayed in Gharyan basically stable, and Yang Deshan's departure did not cause turmoil.

Those who can become governors are naturally not stupid, even if they are stupid, there will be enough smart people around him.

The British Governor in Libya did not let Yang Deshan wait too long. Just one week later, Yang Deshan received an invitation from Henry Saxton to invite Yang Deshan to the British garrison to attend a dinner.

"No, I can't go. There is no good banquet. This may be a Hongmen Banquet." After hearing the news, Yang Dehai was the first to express his opposition.

Two days ago, Yang Dehai came to Gharyan from Ghadames, bringing 3,000 soldiers and a batch of supplies. This was a posture of preparing to deal with the British to the end.

Brothers fight against tigers together, and fathers and sons fight together in battle. When it comes to the critical moment, Yang Dehai still chooses to be with Yang Deshan, no matter what they will face.

"It doesn't matter. Our total manpower now exceeds 10,000. How many soldiers does the British have in Gharyan? Don't worry." Yang Deshan was confident and didn't take Henry Saxton to heart at all.

During this period, Yang Deshan led the mobile troops to conquer everywhere and broke through four Libyan settlements in succession. The population of Gharyan has increased to more than 15,000, and the number of adults who can go to battle has also increased at the same time. With the people brought by Yang Dehai, the number of troops that Yang Deshan can use now exceeds 10,000.

While conquering everywhere, Yang Deshan did not neglect to monitor the British.

Yang Deshan is very sure that the current British garrison in Gharyan is still the same company of more than 100 people as before, and there is no sign of an increase in the number of troops, which makes Yang Deshan full of confidence.

In fact, earlier today, there were cars entering the British garrison, but they were not trucks for transporting troops, but various "Wuzui", "Jueying" and "Matador". It was impossible for ordinary soldiers to be in these cars, so Yang Deshan didn't need to pay attention to them.

In the final analysis, if you want people to pay attention to you, you still have to have the qualifications to be paid attention to. Yang Deshan was sure that the British were not confident enough, so he dared to ask for a sky-high price from the British.

Lloyd George has had a hard time recently. The British economy has not improved, and there are also differences in the UK on whether to support the Germans. From the perspective of "balance", Britain wants to support Germany to form a check and balance on France, but from the perspective of interests, Britain's own problems have not been solved, and it is indeed beyond its ability to support the Germans now.

The domestic political economy is still a mess, and the British government is really powerless when it comes to colonial affairs.

As for Libya at present, although the governor of Libya has some troops, most of them are composed of Libyan troops, and their combat effectiveness is very limited. Therefore, Yang Deshan is not afraid of the British taking risks. As long as Yang Deshan is still alive, Yang Deshan can turn Libya upside down.

"Then let's have a banquet first to see if Henry Saxton dares to come." Yang Dehai still has concerns and does not want Yang Deshan to take risks.

"No need, Henry Saxton knows very well that if we want to do something, Henry Saxton can't do anything." Yang Deshan is really not afraid. The hundreds of people in Henry Saxton's hands can't really make any difference.

Seeing Yang Deshan's firm attitude, Yang Dehai no longer dissuaded him. There was no point in saying more, as long as Yang Deshan was sure that he knew what he was doing.

As night approached, nearly a hundred bonfires were lit near the British army's Gairyan garrison. Thousands of soldiers sat around the bonfires, drinking and eating meat to their heart's content, without the constraints of religious rules or fear of the British.

"Lewis, are you demonstrating to me?" Henry Saxton was a little dissatisfied when he saw Yang Deshan.

In the evening, the people of the Brotherhood Alliance began to gather, which made Henry Saxton nervous for a long time.

When it was confirmed that the people of the Brotherhood Alliance just wanted to have a bonfire party and had no intention of attacking the British garrison, Henry Saxton was relieved. It would be better if there was no war. How harmonious it would be to eat and drink? Henry Saxton even asked people to send some wine and food to the Brotherhood Alliance to show friendship.

"There is no need for that." Yang Deshan's words were so choking that it could kill people.

Is there still a need to demonstrate?

There were only about a hundred British people, while there were nearly ten thousand Brotherhood Alliance soldiers not far away. These were not the Boers who used swords and spears, but an army that was also equipped with modern weapons. The power comparison between the two sides was really too different.

Since it was a banquet, there must be more than just Yang Deshan attending. It was said that there were no other forces near Gharyan, but now there were quite a few people attending the banquet, even a few North Africans with turbans and robes on their heads, which made Yang Deshan look at them more and pay attention.

Henry Saxton was indeed good at dancing with long sleeves. It seemed that he was not unfamiliar with such scenes. He casually greeted people and led Yang Deshan to the second floor.

Compared with the noisy lobby on the first floor, the second floor was much quieter. There were guards on duty at the stairs. When they saw Yang Deshan coming up, the guards signaled Yang Deshan to raise his hands for inspection.

Yang Deshan had no intention of raising his hand. He had handed his service gun to Sharimu when he entered the British garrison, and Sharimu was now staying at the entrance of the hall and had not come in at all. Henry Saxton knew all this.

Henry Saxton knew it, but the guards at the stairs did not know it, and still insisted that Yang Deshan be checked. One of the guards even put his hand on the holster on his waist.

"What a disgusting arrogance! Henry Saxton, remember the reason why I left. I don't care who is inside. If you want to see me, please go to the camp outside." Yang Deshan had no intention of compromise, and turned around and went downstairs.

"Wait Lewis, Lewis!" Seeing Yang Deshan decisively go downstairs, Henry Saxton was immediately dumbfounded.

Yang Deshan ignored it at all, and walked through the hall with a dignified manner, not even interested in looking at the astonished dignitaries in the hall.

As soon as he went out, the guards at the door blocked Yang Deshan's way.

"Boy, do you want to irritate me?" Yang Deshan ignored the soldiers and pulled the officer next to him over, grabbed his collar and lifted his feet off the ground.

"My Lord Prophet, please forgive us, we didn't mean it." The officer raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, and used a respectful title in the Brotherhood Alliance to address Yang Deshan.

This officer was a Libyan, and he knew Yang Deshan's position in the Brotherhood Alliance and his reputation in North Africa.

Just as Yang Deshan picked up the officer, Sharimu, who had been guarding the door of the hall, suddenly jumped up, took out a signal gun from his arms, and was ready to fire at any time.

"Lewis, please wait." Henry Saxton ran out of the hall, and the anxiety on his face was not disguised.

No matter what the reason was, since the British met Yang Deshan, it meant that the British were ready to make concessions, and if someone's stupidity ruined everything, then someone would definitely pay the price.

"Henry, I'm not here to be insulted. If you figure this out, we still have a chance to talk. Otherwise, we can continue the conversation in another way." Yang Deshan didn't even turn his head back. He raised his hand to push away the guard in front of him and continued to walk out.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Lewis, give others a chance, and also give yourself a chance." Henry Saxton finally rushed to Yang Deshan's side and grabbed Yang Deshan's arm.

"I came here to find opportunities, but you saw the result." Seeing that Henry Saxton wanted to speak, Yang Deshan interrupted: "There is a question that must be made clear. I came here for our cooperation, not for begging. If I figure this out, I think I will get the respect I deserve. If I don't even have basic respect, I think our cooperation has no future. In that case, we might as well end it all as soon as possible."

Basic respect is not an excessive request, but it is really difficult for Libya to get it at this time.
