648 Mamluk (this chapter is for Nemo's roommate with stomach cancer)
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 the 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 are tyrannizing over the people of North Africa, 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 cooperation partner and prepared to have a hard 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 has costs. 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 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 a wise move that is in the interests of France.
.
The same is true for the British. If the British want to develop the oil fields in Gharyan, they must cooperate with local forces in Libya. In the same way, when the oil is mined in the future, the British will also share profits with local forces. For the British
For people, it doesn't make much difference to 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 anti-secular feudal class in North Africa. This limits the conflict to the scope of internal conflicts and will not cause strong resistance from the British and French.
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 by the Alliance of Brothers is the camel.
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, he leaves his car alone and rides a camel every day. This is definitely a sign of high moral integrity. Even if the gods descend to earth, it is nothing more than that. Especially those soldiers who ride in cars. Every time they see Yang Deshan riding a camel,
Even camels feel their chests surging. If they can follow such a leader to fight, even if they die gloriously, it is 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 guarantees the livelihood of the families of the soldiers who died in the war. The living soldiers see it, and naturally
There is no need to worry about the future. 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 actually 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 there, 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, while more than 3,000 soldiers were left to defend Gudamis.
More than two thousand people are enough. If there are no accidents, the team will only get stronger when Yang Deshan comes back.
After leaving Gudamis, Yang Deshan and the others headed northeast. Along the way was the Gobi Desert, with only a few oases and no tribes living there. It was not until dusk that Yang Deshan and the others arrived at a small town called Dailaji.
.
Calling it a small town is actually a bit of an exaggeration. It is just an aboriginal gathering area with a radius of one or two square kilometers, which is similar to a larger village. It doesn't seem to have many people. It is estimated that one or two thousand people will be good.
When Yang Deshan arrived at Dailaji, Dailaji was already a sea of fire. No one was seen nearby fighting the fire. There were 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 Shalim whistled to summon a group of cavalry, and went out to inspect the fire around Dai Laji.
Not long after the meeting, Shalim came back on a camel and reported breathlessly to Yang Deshan: It was the major and the others who did it. I found the major's mark. The major has continued north and is heading towards Galyan.
The major is Jackson. Although the Brotherhood now has more than 5,000 people, the names of brothers Yang Deshan and Jackson have not changed. Yang Deshan is still a colonel, Yang Dehai is still a lieutenant colonel, and Jackson is still the third oldest brother.
This situation will not last long. It is estimated that these three school-level officers will be promoted to generals after Galyan is captured.
It is estimated that by then Yang Deshan will no longer need to ride a camel, he will be a general, so he will get an Arabian horse to ride anyway.
We set up camp and we'll sleep here tonight. Yang Deshan didn't wait for Shalimu to come over to help him, stretched his arms, and jumped off the camel.
There are a lot of corpses nearby. I sleep here at night, and I don't feel bad at all.
Because of the presence of the camel team, Yang Deshan and the others were not moving very fast. It was only over 80 kilometers from Gudamis to Daraki. 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, and they can last for three months with one meal. However, the lack of supplementary food does not mean that there is no need for rest. Camels also need constant rest to maintain sufficient physical strength, which is similar to that of humans.
Before setting up the tent, you still need to eat to replenish your strength.
Speaking of which, this is the second meal that Yang Deshan and the others have eaten today, but there is no problem. Everyone is used to it. Because they are on an expedition, the food preparation is quite sufficient. Water is carried in skins and the rice is chicken.
The rice stir-fried with vegetables is not very delicious, but it is already a delicacy in North Africa.
After eating, Yang Deshan strolled over to the large pile of corpses and looked at them carefully.
They were basically adults. Some of them seemed to have been killed first and then their heads were beheaded with a sharp blade. They probably died during the resistance process, while others had their heads cut off directly.
It is estimated that this part would rather die than surrender, Yang Deshan can still tell the difference.
Such a large area of corpses, including hundreds of people, is indeed a bit overwhelming.
But except for a few half-year-old children, there were no women or children. It did look a bit cruel, but this was the normal form of the North African war. Looking at the cuts on the necks of those who were beheaded, it was indeed Jackson's usual method.
.
Lord, forgive these lost lambs. They were just deceived by the devil, so they made mistakes. Yang Deshan murmured to himself to pray for these dead people, which was really a bit of a bluffing attitude.
Call some people over and bury these people, deeply. Yang Deshan can still respect the dead, and after praying, he ordered Shalim.
Shalimu responded, turned around and ran towards the camp.
Yang Deshan shook his head and sighed, and walked back a little lonely.
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 done?
Yang Deshan has asked himself countless times.
Unfortunately there is no answer.
In the middle of the night, Yang Deshan was suddenly awakened by the sound of gunshots.
Almost out of reflex, Yang Deshan jumped out of the tent in an instant, holding a revolver in his hand.
There is someone harassing someone outside the camp. We don’t know who they are or how many people there are. Our captain has already led people to chase them. Please don’t worry, Colonel. A knight rode a camel to report that the camel seemed a little out of control.
, and kept spinning in circles.
Go and ask him to come back. Don't chase him if you don't know how many people there are. Yang Deshan was immediately furious.
How can we pursue them in this situation? Just defend on the spot and wait until dawn to deal with them. This is clearly written in the training manual. Yang Deshan has also emphasized many times that I don’t know which captain made the mistake.
What kind of medicine could make such a big mistake?
Yang Deshan decided to remove the captain and resolutely punish this unorganized and undisciplined behavior.
While deep in thought, Yang Deshan suddenly heard Shalimu's sharp warning: Be careful.
Yang Deshan looked up and found that the knight was holding a pistol, and the black muzzle was pointed at him.
