Chapter 384 Draw a pie for the Nikancha people

Chapter 384: Give the Nikancha people a big cake

"General..." Michael rode his horse up to the mound where Claude was stationed, jumped off the horse, threw the horse's reins to the orderly next to him, stood at attention in front of Claude and saluted.

Claude nodded at him and continued to look at the two groups of people meandering in the wilderness in the distance. To the north was the migration team of the Nikancha people. They followed Claude's advice and were heading to Wei.

The mountainous area along the northern coast of Bartow Colonial County was preparing to rely on the terrain and the weapons and ammunition that Claude lent them on credit to resist the subsequent capture by the Kingdom of Hicks.

At the same time, these Nikancha people will also send their armed personnel into the inland colonies of the Kingdom of Hicks, attack those mining development areas and local towns, rescue their compatriots who are used as slave miners, and strengthen their armed forces.

A new uprising broke out in the inland colonies of the Hicks Kingdom, seizing more territory and looking for opportunities to establish their independent country.

Yes, establish an independent country for the Nikancha people. Last night, Claude accompanied the four Nikancha people to play a big game of chess and successfully created a big pie for them. And all he paid was to capture

The weapons and ammunition of a standing regiment of the Hicks Kingdom are not given away for free, but are lent to the Nikancha people on credit. After these Nikancha people have established a foothold in the inland colonies of the Hicks Kingdom, they can use them.

Various mineral resources and so on can be used to repay it, and then we can continue to receive support from Claude with weapons and ammunition...

Maijack and Belklin were also members who later participated in the talks. Claude gave them two tasks. Maijack will lead the 131st guerrilla battalion to continue to show off under the port city of Vibato, creating a large-scale force to return to the city.

The pretense of staying in the Vibato Port Colony bought hundreds of thousands of Nikancha people a month to move north. And Belklin would lead nearly a hundred grassroots officers to follow the Nikancha people northward into the coastal mountains.

Several defensive lines were set up there for the Nikancha people, and the most basic military training for the Nikancha people's armed forces was conducted for a period of three months.

The size of this team going south is much smaller than that of the Nikancha people moving north. Except for the two main groups of the 3rd Rock Division led by General Albert, there is only the 1st Thunder Division.

Most of the 301st Regiment. However, in addition to hundreds of carts loaded with various trophies, they also had more than 2,000 prisoners of war from the Hicks Kingdom's local garrison. These were the harvest of the sweep of Vibato Colonial County.

.

In addition, there are nearly 10,000 young and strong Nikancha people following the team southward. Their purpose is to go to the three logistics material bases of the border defense front and carry a piece of equipment that Claude promised to lend them on credit.

Weapons, ammunition and other military supplies for Hicks's standing corps.

Belklin also led a dozen lieutenant-level officers to the mound where Claude was. Claude went over and patted them on the shoulders: "Do you understand your mission?"

Belklin grinned and said: "Of course, boss, don't worry, we can train these Nikancha people to have similar combat effectiveness to the standing legions of the Hicks Kingdom, so that they can fight against the Hicks Kingdom.

The more lively and intense the better. When the Hicks Kingdom’s attention is attracted by the riot caused by these Nikancha people, then our Thunder Division will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the Hicks Kingdom’s lack of attention.

, stab them twice in the back..."

This was a bit too straightforward to say, but Belklin was not wrong at all. He knew exactly what Claude had in mind. Claude smiled bitterly and kicked Belklin pretending to be annoyed: "Asshole

, you are still a lieutenant colonel of the kingdom, and you can put another silver moon on your shoulders after returning this time. Can you please stop talking like a little gangster? This is not to let you be a gangster in the royal capital and extort those small traders.

, look like a high-ranking military officer of the kingdom!"

Looking at the dozen or so lieutenant-level officers who were holding back their laughter, Claude's face began to turn serious: "You are all leading the mission this time. I don't care what you think about the Nikancha people."

What do you think and how do you despise them, but you can't show it on your face no matter what. The unified voice to the outside world is to sympathize with their plight and oppose the Hicks Kingdom's act of capturing them as slaves. So you are volunteering to help them

Train soldiers and set up defense lines to resist the attack from the Kingdom of Hicks.

I hope you remember that after you go there, except for training the Nikancha people's armed forces, setting up defensive fronts, and helping them plan attacks on those mineral development areas and towns, you are not allowed to interfere in their internal personnel disputes and settlement management. They gave you

There will be good food and drink, and even women will be given to you. You can enjoy these as usual. But you must remember that you are only going to help them temporarily. Don't get too entangled with them, lest you be unable to escape when you come back. You all understand.

Is it done?"

More than a dozen lieutenant-level officers stood at attention and saluted: "Understood, general."

Claude waved his hand: "Okay, you go, I wish you a safe journey. Lieutenant Colonel Belklin, apart from you, there are a total of ninety-six junior officers on this trip. I hope to follow you back in three months."

There are still ninety-six people, no one can be missing..."

Belklin also became serious: "Yes, General, no one is missing!"

Seeing Belklin remounting his horse and driving away with a dozen lieutenant-level officers, Michael Jack finally couldn't help it: "General, do you think those Nikancha people are really reliable?"

Claude sighed softly and asked instead of answering: "What do you think?"

Mike shook his head: "I don't believe them. There is a saying among the residents of the direct territory, that is, don't believe the sincerity of the Nikancha people. If they swear in front of you, they will forget all about it when they turn around. They are the most unlucky people."

A nation with credibility and integrity. Now they are asking for help from us, so they are humble and obedient in front of us. But if they defeat the Kingdom of Hicks and really establish an independent country, then they will definitely regret fighting with us.

Dealing, overturning one's own commitment..."

"You are right, the Nikancha people are indeed not worthy of our trust." Claude nodded: "But they are indeed the only allies we can find now. Help them and support them to become the first concern of the Hicks Kingdom.

One goal is the only way to change our strategic disadvantage. You should know very well that the Kingdom of Hicks can fail again and again, and it has a very strong reserve force. But in our theater, we cannot fail even once.

.....

If we want to divert the attention of the Kingdom of Hicks to the rebellion of the Nikancha people, then we must first make the Nikancha people stronger, make them a thorn in the side of the Kingdom of Hicks, and use the Kingdom of Hicks to deal with the Nikancha people.

On the occasion of the Kancha people's rebellion, they were waiting for an opportunity to annihilate several standing legions of the Hicks Kingdom, which made the Hicks Kingdom feel the pain and had to take the initiative to seek peace talks with the kingdom to end this endless colonial war...

"

"I understand what you mean, General, but your transfer of so many captured weapons, ammunition and other military supplies to the Nikancha people at one time is a bit excessive, and it can easily be used by some people in the kingdom to deal with you...

"McJack persuaded me tactfully.

"No, Jack, although it is an unspoken rule that every colonial country in Nubisia must abide by not selling muskets and ammunition to the natives of Nubisia, this is not an express rule. After all, the Nikancha people are a mixed race.

, are descendants of the colonists of the Farea continent and the natives of the Nubisian continent, so they can live around the colonial towns and sell their labor to obtain food and clothing for their families in the towns. Even some experts on the mainland are quarreling, thinking that the Nikancha people

Not counting the indigenous inhabitants of Nubisia continent..."

Claude pointed at the team of Nikancha people migrating north in the distance: "No one can really prohibit the Nikancha people from obtaining muskets and ammunition. Didn't Kuka say that last night? He had learned from those adventurers before.

He privately purchased more than two hundred muskets to protect his Kumanli settlement, and used the muskets to intimidate and annex three neighboring small settlements, becoming the most powerful leader of the Nikancha people on the west coast. He is an ambitious man.

The Nikancha people also dreamed of establishing an independent country for the Nikancha people. I just gave him a chance to realize his dream.

Among the Nikancha people, they worship the evil god Sunidat, who declares that they are the only Lord of all things, establishes a divine kingdom on earth, and drives the white colonists out of the Nubisian continent. In the past, this was just a propaganda slogan, but

Now they have seen a glimmer of hope. If they can occupy the vast inland colony of the Hicks Kingdom, they may really be able to establish an independent Nikancha country in that area, so I don't have to worry about them.

Compromise with the Hicks Kingdom and betray us.

Sometimes I really don’t understand whether those people in the Hicks Kingdom have their minds caught in the door, and they actually put the idea on the heads of these Nikancha people, arresting them as slaves and forcing them to work. In fact,

They didn't need to spend much effort, they just needed to pay a little price to feed and clothe the Nikancha people, and have a little money to buy a few bottles of bad wine to get drunk, then there would be enough Nikancha people.

Young and strong laborers go to work in their mines. Just like those mining developers in our kingdom's overseas territories, some Nikancha miners go to the mines to dig and make a living.

Perhaps it can only be said that the nobles and mine owners of the Hicks Kingdom are too greedy. I heard that they used to arrest the real indigenous Etates to mine, but the resistance of the Etates has become more and more serious.

The fierceness of the operation to capture them made the gains outweigh the gains, so the nobles and mine owners of the Hicks Kingdom turned their attention to these relatively kind and lazy Nikancha people. They were used to driving slaves for free, so they

The Nikancha people also treated them as slaves and were not willing to pay any price. In the end, they forced the Nikancha people to rebel.

I promised to lend them a standing army's weapons, ammunition and other military supplies on credit last night. On the one hand, I wanted to strengthen the armed forces of these Nikancha people, so that after we leave, these Nikancha people will not be vulnerable to the standing army of the Kingdom of Hicks.

A blow. On the other hand, we can't carry the captured weapons of Torfield's standing army back. The military supplies are too heavy. If we want to transport them back, we will need at least more than a thousand four-wheeled freight carriages, but where are we going?

Looking for so many carriages and horses?

Therefore, we can only give up these captured weapons and equipment and other military supplies. Their standard muskets do not have the long range and accuracy of ours, and the gunpowder does not match ours. After being transported back, they have to be separated and processed again, which is very troublesome. As for

I believe you don’t like wearing the military uniforms of the Hicks Kingdom soldiers. For us, it is necessary to give up these useless things, because we only have so many manpower, and we have to guard and escort more than 100,000 prisoners.

It is very normal for these useless things to fall into the hands of the Nikancha people after we gave them up. Everyone knows that the Nikancha people’s favorite thing to do is to pick up rags, so they obtained these weapons and ammunition that we gave up.

When armaments and supplies are none of our business, do we still have to return these weapons and ammunition to the Hicks? It is better to fall into the hands of the Nikancha people and use them to resist the capture of them by the Hicks Kingdom than to have them fall into the hands of the Hicks.

The kingdom will be stronger if it gets these armaments and supplies to deal with us..."

McJack was speechless. Claude's words showed that he was very considerate and even found an excuse to shirk responsibility. Last night, Claude rejected the offer of Kuka, the leader of the Nikancha people.

His very beautiful daughter, the so-called Saint Aimee of the Sunidat Cult, stayed with him because he didn't want others to catch him. Even the three reserve Hicks Kingdom standing legions

The logistics base for weapons, ammunition and other military supplies also explained to them that they must wait for the soldiers guarding the Thunder Division to evacuate before allowing the young and strong Nikancha people to move to the warehouse.

"Don't think too much." Claude patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder: "It's not a big deal for us that the Nikancha people have musket ammunition. They have no gunpowder production workshop or gun repair workshop. They and Hick

The more lively the fight in the Kingdom of Sri Lanka becomes, the more inseparable it is from our support. A musket without ammunition is not as lethal as a spear, and the loss of muskets in the war will be very large. They cannot repair them and can only rely on us to provide them.

They provide support supplies.

Therefore, if the Nikancha people want to obtain weapons and ammunition from us, they must pay a price. They indeed have little money now, but their wealth can be robbed from the colonial mining owners and local towns in the Kingdom of Hicks. They make more and more noise

Fierce, the more property they obtain, the greater the support they will receive from us, and the more the Kingdom of Hicks will care about them.

Compared to our overseas territorial war zone, the Hicks Kingdom military will only think about quelling the rebellion of these Nikancha people first, otherwise the nobles of their kingdom who have suffered losses in the inland colonies will not let go

them......"

Now that Claude had made up his mind, Michael had nothing else to say. He nodded: "General, go back. I will hold off the defenders of Vibato Port here for a month. I will decide."

We will not let them come out and disrupt our plans and arrangements..."

Claude patted him on the shoulder: "There are some things that require more thinking. There is no need to go to Vibato Port City every day. As long as we control a few key locations, we can deal with the troops sent by Vibato Port City.

The reconnaissance cavalry carried out an ambush, and if more of them came out than returned, the defenders would naturally think that our large force was still nearby. In addition, you should choose a camp at night and do not stay in the camp to avoid being attacked by the enemy.

..."

"Huh? General, what do you mean by choosing another camp?" Michael was stunned.

"It's very simple. If the defenders of Vibato Port send a light cavalry team out to conduct reconnaissance, they will be able to hide it from you and escape your pursuit. But if they send one or two people dressed as civilians to sneak out in the middle of the night, then you will be able to sneak out during the day.

If you meet one of them, you will not take it seriously. At most, you can threaten him and let him leave. In this case, the news that the empty battalion and the large army have left will reach the ears of the defenders of Vibato Port, knowing that you only have one battalion.

With your strength, the enemy is likely to send several regiments of troops to attack you...

So don’t stay in the camp at night, and find a place to camp in a dangerous and secluded place. If the enemy finds that the camp is empty and no one is there, they will definitely send out troops to conduct reconnaissance. At this time, you need to concentrate your forces on one of the roads.

If the enemy launches a surprise attack and can severely damage the enemy, then the enemy will think that the empty camp is our conspiracy to lure them out of the city. I believe that the enemy will definitely gather their troops again and defend the port city of Vibato to the death. They will never do it again.

Attacked easily."

Claude's words suddenly made Michael realize: "I understand, general, please don't worry, I will definitely keep the enemy's garrison in the city for another month..."
