Speaking of confinement, the helpless feeling of crying every day in a small space and complaining that the ground is not working is really impressive.
Compared with certain injuries, confinement causes more psychological damage. A quiet space will make people reflect and feel fear. No matter what kind of reaction it is, generally speaking, as long as you have been locked up once, there will be no reaction.
People want to experience that feeling again.
There is no need to be polite when dealing with these British people. Starting from the period of the Foreign Legion, the Lanfang army has killed not one or two Westerners, but can be measured in units of tens of thousands. Therefore, the Lanfang people really have little fear of Westerners. They are all
With the naked eye, you can act as you should.
But in the eyes of those Indians and Burmese who are used to being slaves, this kind of behavior becomes bold and unscrupulous. It is understandable when you think about it. During the battle between the Chiang Mai Free Army and the British, the British who were killed
It's also thousands of dollars. It's quite merciful to lock him up in a small dark room now.
When facing such arrogant and unreasonable people, it is better to be honest.
So when these British people were locked up in the small dark room, the Indians and Burmese people were all silent. It may not be possible to say that they give up completely, but they can still obey orders.
Thanks to the British for providing them with basic training, this saved the Chiang Mai Free Army a lot of trouble.
Don't be polite to these British people. They are not allowed to eat or drink during the confinement. They will be detained for two days first. If they are not honest, they will be detained again. If they are not honest, they will go to work on the construction site. Zhang Chengye has no mercy, like Zha Peng
It is certain that there is no preferential treatment at all in the treatment of these British people.
Two British people were injured. Zha Peng's voice was low. This was not because of cowardice, but to prevent other troubles in the future.
If there is an injury, he will be treated. If it is cured, he will be lucky; if it is not cured, he will be unlucky. Zhang Chengye's attitude is casual.
These days, the war is chaotic, and it is normal for someone to die. The Chiang Mai Free Army is not unwilling to save people, but the Chiang Mai Free Army's rescue capabilities are limited. It cannot even guarantee the needs of its own family, and it is impossible to provide relief to the British.
What a privilege.
After thinking about it, Zhang Chengye said one more sentence before leaving: Serve some snacks, don't get yourself killed. Then he walked away.
It is true that they cannot be killed. These are all bargaining chips for future negotiations with the British. If one dies, the bargaining chip will be reduced by one point.
They had to treat illnesses and save people, but they couldn't feed them, and they couldn't kill them. It was a lot to ask for, so Zha Peng felt a little weak when he answered yes.
After leaving the prisoner-of-war camp, Zhang Chengye and Xu Zhongqing were not in a hurry to go back and first went to the city wall construction site to take a look.
In previous battles, many of Chiang Mai's city walls were damaged. Although the city walls were of little significance in hot weapons battles, the Chiang Mai Free Army organized prisoners of war to repair the damaged parts of the city wall.
This involves the management of prisoners of war. Generally speaking, people will have random thoughts when they have nothing to do, especially these prisoners of war. They are in a strange environment, facing an uncertain tomorrow, enduring emptiness and panic. If they are not found,
If you have something to do, they will find something to do on their own.
In this case, it is better to let these prisoners of war consume their energy in heavy physical labor, at least until they are exhausted every day, so that they have no time to think wildly.
Nearly a thousand prisoners of war are working on the city wall, and a platoon of Chiang Mai Free Army soldiers is responsible for monitoring them.
Dozens of people managing thousands of people may sound a bit arrogant, but in fact it is completely fine. The courage of these prisoners of war was exhausted in the war. Those who had courage and courage have been killed in the war. The remaining people
Since they gave up resistance and surrendered obediently, they also gave up their dignity as soldiers. Let alone a platoon, even if there was only one squad, these prisoners of war did not have the courage to resist.
Of course, Indians don't have to resist, but they can express their protest in their own way.
So when Zhang Chengye and Xu Zhongqing came to the construction site, what they saw was a slow and lifeless scene, as if everyone was an old man on the verge of death, and there was no trace of the vitality of young people at all.
Zhang Chengye couldn't help but feel that these prisoners of war were sent to the construction site not to support them but to work, so when he saw this scene, he immediately became very angry.
What's going on? It's just such a broken city wall. How many more years do you plan to repair it? These people are working hard, don't you see? What you are holding is a fire stick. Call the person in charge, and Zhang Chengye immediately slaps him in the face.
Immediately reprimanded.
The platoon leader didn't dare to defend himself, so he was so dejected and silent that he didn't scold him until Zhang Chengye came out of Zhang Chengye's mouth.
The platoon leader immediately jumped up and returned to the construction site, waving the whip in his hand desperately: "Move it, move it, move it."
There are still differences between Siamese and English, and the language barrier is the key, but some things are universal around the world, such as the action of waving a whip. Even if you don't understand what the curse is, you can still tell that the supervisors are in a bad mood, so those
The prisoners of war's movements suddenly accelerated, and the twilight atmosphere on the construction site suddenly dissipated.
They were all cheap people who didn't know how to work without being whipped with a whip. Zhang Chengye scolded a lot of people, and when he scolded the prisoners of war, he took the supervisors with him.
These Indians are also weird. They are still willing to be ruled by a nation with a much smaller population than them. They really show their style as dogs. Xu Zhongqing was amazed.
What's so strange about this? It was the same when we conquered Goryeo. At that time, our total population in Lanfang was just over 10 million, and the number of Goryeo people was over 20 million. The result was not honest. Zhang Chengye didn't feel that much.
Strangely, this can be regarded as the conquest of lower civilization by higher civilization.
If the Indians have developed their style by being dogs, the Koreans are even worse. After Korea naturalized Lanfang, the Koreans naturally became Lanfang citizens. This made many Koreans ecstatic. They now live in various places in Lanfang.
They never mention their origins, and if anyone dares to reveal their Korean background, they will fight to the death.
If this situation is simply attributed to the strong national power of Lanfang, that is not necessarily the case. What is more important is the sense of cultural identity.
The culture of the Chinese world has a long history. As for the whole of Asia, there is a strong sense of identification with Chinese culture. Not to mention the Koreans, even the Japanese who once had a huge psychological advantage over the Chinese, in the face of the splendid Chinese culture
We have to bow our heads and surrender. This is evidenced by the fact that many Japanese have joined Lanfang nationality without any grudges. For those Japanese who have joined Lanfang nationality, joining Lanfang nationality is not a temporary measure, but a true recognition of their ancestors.
After returning to the clan, he truly found a sense of cultural belonging, and then burst out with a strong sense of ownership. Although strictly speaking, Lan Fang is not an orthodox descendant of Chinese culture, but living in a country where Chinese characters are used everywhere, it is still important for those who have naturalized
The Lanfang people in Lanfang abandon all kinds of fake characters, and many Japanese are no less protective of Lanfang's interests than the pure Chinese.
Perhaps Qin Zhiyuan has a heartfelt dislike for the Japanese, but for ordinary people like Zhang Chengye, they really don’t have much hatred for the Japanese. After all, in this time and space, events such as the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and the Nanjing Massacre have not yet happened.
It didn't happen in time. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 also broke out between the Qing Empire and Japan, and had nothing to do with Lanfang.
Therefore, Lanfang's acceptance of Japanese people is quite high, which is also the fundamental reason why those naturalized Japanese can quickly integrate into Lanfang.
If Lanfang's conquest of Goryeo and Britain's conquest of India are regarded as the conquest of nations of different classes, then among nations of the same class, it is more often about compromise and quarreling. There are not many times when war is actually used to solve problems.
For example, in Syria right now, Britain and France are fighting each other over the newly discovered oil fields.
The Middle East was originally a land of no one, and there were no clear dividing lines between countries. In many places, there was no concept of a country at all. After the World War, the Ottoman Empire, which once spanned Asia, Africa and Europe, fell apart overnight.
Countless countries emerged and began to exercise real control over this land.
This includes Iraq and Palestine supported by the British, and Syria and Lebanon supported by the French.
The oil field discovered this time is located at the junction of northeastern Syria and Iraq. In Qin Zhiyuan's memory, the size of this oil field is not large, at least not as large as the New Baku Oil Field and Gharyan Oil Field, but
Only Qin Zhiyuan knew about this news. Neither the British nor the French knew about it, not even the exploration team sent by United Petroleum.
Now that we have mastered asymmetric messages, we have a lot of room for manipulation.
After United Petroleum discovered this oil field, the French government really wanted to nationalize the oil field. However, United Petroleum is a giant with the dual backgrounds of Qin Zhiyuan and the old Renault. It is not easy to seize food from United Petroleum. France
Even if the government wants to take away United Petroleum, it is not just taking it away. The compensation that should be paid must still be paid.
The person in charge of negotiating with the French government was the old Renault. Although the old Renault still had a certain relationship with the French government, he did not care about the relationship at all when it was time to start killing. The price offered was unacceptable to the French government, so the negotiations ended like this.
The stalemate came down.
While the French and the old Renault were negotiating, the British had already begun to set up oil derricks on the British-controlled side of Iraq, preparing to strike first.
No matter how much oil there is underground, the total amount is fixed. If you start a day earlier, you can get a profit earlier. The British calculated this very clearly.
The French were very angry about the British's behavior of fishing in troubled waters, so during this period, the border between Iraq and Syria was very uneventful.
