214 One Move
Although he is not good at it, as a Chinese, he lived in the 21st century Celestial Chronicle. Even if he did not care deliberately, he knew a lot of military terms, such as "tempting the enemy into deep", "surrounding the point and attacking aid", and "the enemy advances and we retreat" 16-character policy.
As long as you have been to middle school, you should know many similar nouns. These nouns are actually concentrated in the essence of the military thoughts of the Celestial military masters. If you study that one thoroughly and put it in the Americas in the 19th century, you can fool a bunch of people.
That's right, if Li Mu commands the troops to fight, it may be impossible for a simple camping Li Mu to do it, but if Li Mu is asked to fool people like Ma Han, Li Mu will definitely have more dry things in his stomach than Ma Han.
"Willie Nikolau was dispatched in full swing. Three colonial servants attacked Bayamo head-on, and two Spanish infantry divisions flanked by the flanks, trying to eliminate Bayamo's Cuban defenders in one fell swoop. Rayleigh Toinbi did not dare to compete with Willie head-on. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Cuban Republic troops were not severely damaged at present, but the Spanish had heavy troops in Bayamotun. It was not easy for Rayleigh to recover Bayamot. There must be a tough battle to fight." George Dewey looked down on Rayleigh Toinbi.
Before being the commander-in-chief of the Republic of Cuba, Rayleigh Toinbi had not received relevant military training like Cespedes, so this guy was also a blind commander. Not only could he not fight, but he didn't even have the minimum courage. It would be strange if such a person was the commander-in-chief, he could withstand the crazy encirclement of the Spaniards.
"Not severely damaged? What's going on in the military camp?" Li Mu was not satisfied with George Dewey's statement. It's not a severe damage to fight 1,600 people, but it's not a serious injury? Does the Chinese army deserve to be unlucky?
"Reim, this is inevitable, not intentional." George Dewey could understand Li Mu's anger, but George Dewey also did not think it was a conspiracy.
"When Edmund retreated, he took away many people, which dragged down the speed of the troops' retreat, so he was caught up by the Spaniards. From this point of view, the sacrifices of those soldiers were valuable." Mahan provided another information, and not all soldiers were decisive.
This is what it deserves. Seeing that the enemy soldiers are approaching, they still have to run with the people. I really think that I am Liu Bei's-
Liu Bei was chased and was about to throw his child!
"I want to remove Edmund's military command. From now on, I want to deploy this force to Guantanamo and be under my own command." Li Mu found out that this was the main purpose of Li Mu coming to George Dewey.
"You can still command the army?" George Dewey looked suspicious.
"At least I won't let them die!" Li Mu insisted that the Chinese in Cuba were Li Mu's main purpose for coming to Cuba. Li Mu would never retreat at this time. Even if he was making unreasonable trouble, Li Mu would still have to obtain the command of this army.
After hearing what Li Mu said firmly, George Dewey and Mahan looked at each other, and then George Dewey nodded slowly: "If you can convince Sespedes, then you can take it."
Convince Cespedes?
There is no "persuasion" at all, because soon Cespedes will ask Li Mu to come.
This evening is destined to be very busy. Li Mu, George Dewey, and Mahan have not yet expressed anything. The guards came in to report, and President Cespedes invited Li Mu and others to the Presidential Palace to attend a special meeting.
"Go to the Presidential Palace?" A strange look flashed across Li Mu's face. Looking at George Dewey and Ma Han again, the expressions on his face were a little confused.
Waving his hand to let the guards retreat, Li Mu sat on the chair and began to stumble. This was not right. According to the attitude of Cespedes toward Li Mu and the others during this period, even if a special meeting was to be held, it should be Cespedes coming to the military camp, right? Now he suddenly asked Li Mu and the others to go to the Presidential Palace. Li Mu's first reaction was the Hongmen Banquet.
"We cannot leave the barracks at this time. We must ensure control over the army. As long as the army is controlled by us, the Cubans will not dare to do anything randomly." George Dewey thought a little serious.
"Haha, it's not that serious. Don't forget what we are here for. We are the saviors of the Cuban Republic. No matter who is on stage, they can only beg for mercy to us." Li Mu was confident that no matter what idea Cespedes made, safety should not be a problem.
"You have to be careful, after all, we are in Cuba-" Ma Han is not as optimistic as Li Mu.
"How is the control of the army?" Li Mu wanted to determine George Dewey's control of the army so that he could decide what to do next.
The Republic of Cuba will definitely not fully trust Li Mu and the others, so although Cespedes handed over the training of the army to George Dewey, after all, this army was under the control of Rayleigh Toinby, so when George Dewey took over the training, Li Mu reminded George Dewey that there must be Rayleigh Toinby's eyeliners in the army. If you want to completely control this army, you must first remove all these eyeliners.
"At least half of the army is now loyal to us." George Dewey was confident.
As an old corps, George Dewey was not stupid. He disrupted the old organization and reorganization as soon as he came up. This trick destroyed most of Rayleigh Toinby's dark son. During Li Mu's time, George Dewey made several adjustments during training, so it was not a problem to control half of the army.
"Very good, make sure that the troops do not have trouble. I will go to see Cespedes now. As long as the troops do not have problems, I will be fine." Li Mu was confident that Cespedes would not do anything to Li Mu as long as they weren't crazy yet. Otherwise, let alone whether Cespedes could withstand Washington's anger. Just by cutting off Li Mu's aid, Cespedes would have to wait for death.
Cespedes invited Li Mu, George Dewey, Mahan, Benjamin and others to go there, but at this time, Li Mu would definitely not let George Dewey leave the military camp, so Li Mu only called Benjamin. With Benjamin, a guy with a deep background, it was equivalent to giving Li Mu another amulet.
The Presidential Palace of the Republic of Cuba is located in Santiago. It is actually the official residence of the former Spanish Governor in Santiago. It is a huge palace-style building with exquisite shapes and luxurious decorations. After the Spanish fled in panic, it became the official residence of Cespedes.
When getting off the carriage, Li Mu noticed that the entire presidential palace was already heavily guarded. The lawn in front of the door and the corridor of the main building were full of gunmen with guns and ammunition. Several luxuriously decorated carriages were parked on the side of the lawn. Li Mu glanced over and saw Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toinby's carriages in it.
"Oh oh oh - the war is coming, and the smoke is everywhere. I feel my eyebrows are cheering and excited-" Benjamin got off the carriage and took a few deep breaths. The strange screams were full of excitement.
"The Civil War has only ended for a few years. Have you not fought enough in the war?" Li Mu felt more and more that Benjamin, the "general", had a strange origin.
"Hehe, I didn't go to the battlefield in the last war, and I just served a name. If it weren't for my strong request, my family wouldn't have let me come here." Benjamin finally told the truth, but it was indeed not as Li Mu expected.
"I thought I could already take advantage of the situation, but I didn't expect you to be even more over-the-top." Li Mu immediately turned on the taunt mode.
"Do you think I think, if I can, I would rather be an infantryman charge at the front line." Benjamin refused to admit defeat, and his mouth was still very hard.
"Can you carry a rifle?" Li Mu attacked two times.
"It's better than you, a guy who is not as tall as a rifle." Benjamin began to attack personally.
This statement is unscientific. The rifles are not long these days. Although with bayonets, the total length of some guns is more than 1.8 meters, overall, Li Mu's height is still taller than most rifles.
While talking, Li Mu and Benjamin came to the conference room.
The guards leading the way pushed open the door of the conference room, and the strong smell of cigars swarmed out, and Li Mu immediately covered his nose and hid aside.
There were many people in the conference room. In addition to the few people I already knew, there were also many strangers, some in military uniforms and some in tuxedoes. It seemed that the heads and minds of the Republic of Cuba were here.
However, to Li Mu's surprise, Cespedes was not here, which gave Li Mu a bad omen.
Seeing Li Mu and Benjamin arrive, Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toinby took the initiative to greet him. Seeing Li Mu's hand still fanning in front of his nose, Darwin Andrew smiled repeatedly: "It seems that Mr. Reim is not very adaptable to the environment here. Forgive us old smoke guns. If there is no cigar, then we will lose the ability to think--"
Well, as a veteran programmer, Li Mu never left his cigarette in his previous life, but this does not mean how addicted Li Mu was to smoking. Instead, he was used to pinching something in his fingers when thinking about problems. If he did not have the familiar temperature, he would feel something was wrong all over and he would not find any inspiration.
Li Mu is different in this life. Li Mu is not used to cigarettes without filters, and Li Mu does not want to be a person who keeps smoking. So although Li Mu occasionally smokes cigars, it is just a show-off. Li Mu himself does not have this habit.
Darwin Andrew was still understanding. Seeing that Li Mu was not used to the smokey conference room, he took Li Mu and Benjamin to a lounge next to the conference room, and a few of them communicated in advance.
"Mr. Cespedes is unable to hold on to work due to physical reasons, so Mr. Rayleigh Toinby is temporarily taking over the presidency of the Republic of Cuba. At this critical moment of life and death, all of us must work together-" Darwin Andrew reported a fact that shocked Li Mu as soon as he came up.
