Everyone is drunk and I am the only one awake? Andreev did feel this way before, but today, his belief was shaken by Vadim's heresy.
Although history is half-hidden and refuses to reveal its true face, the secret cannot be hidden so deeply. Andreev has actually heard the legend of the expeditionary army cannibalizing human flesh a hundred years ago.
But as a member of his own nation, he always believed that it was a legend, just like a story made up by fools during the long night.
Even in Moscow, don’t people drink and dine with the legend of the Prague Vampire on long, cold winter nights? The same is true in the Far East. People in Maodong are extremely bored. It is very common to make up stories about Rakshasa ghosts and cannibals to scare children.
But today Vadim jumped out and told him that all the black history was true, and that it was ten thousand times worse than the legend. This huge impact made Andreev unable to accept it.
He wanted to refute, he even wanted to hit someone, but Vadim's next words just choked him to death.
"There are many, many benefits of eating human flesh. Hahaha, do you want to know?" Vadim's eyes, which were obviously black, were emitting bursts of ghostly blue light at this moment.
"Before the Chinese blockade was completely closed, I had already stored tens of thousands of kilograms of dried meat for my brothers to eat, so my brothers had the most comfortable life this winter!"
"Not only that, I also generously distributed part of the dried meat to the friendly troops. Do you think your men haven't eaten it? Stop dreaming. When people's eyes are blue from hunger, what else can they pick on?"
At this point, Vadim suddenly shouted, "Brothers! Do we have a way out? Those outside the city are our life and death enemies, and they will definitely kill us! Because we ate their relatives, they are He won’t let us go!”
"Now tell me, what should we do?"
"Fight! Even if you die in battle, you will never surrender! Fight with those Chinese! Ula-Ula!"
The whole camp was boiling. Vadim smiled coldly at Andreev, "Have you seen the morale of my men? They have no way out. They have become life-and-death enemies with the Chinese outside and will not stop until they die!"
"What's more important is that they have a deep fear deep in their hearts. Because they have eaten too much human flesh, they know that the Chinese will not let them go, so surrender is impossible! The only way for them is to fight to the death. !”
"Learn a little! Silly man, this is the true meaning of leading an army! If you don't know how to make good use of hatred and fear, then you will always be a reckless man!"
Andreev had no idea how he walked back to the camp. He didn't even know how to avoid the shells that kept flying and exploding along the way.
Like a ghost, he stood at the highest point of the forward position. On the top of the ruined observation deck, Andreev looked around the land.
"The Chinese speak of white mountains and black waters, and we Tsarist Russians speak of the Far East, with ginseng, deer antlers, gold, animal skins, mineral deposits, timber and of course endless vast land! Such a rich land, but no civilization has ever stopped!"
"The tentacles of the Central Plains civilization only caressed this place. The Tsarist Russian expeditionary force only brought killings but did not have time to transfer knowledge. The former owner, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, would rather hide this land than open it, let alone progress. The fire of civilization burns here!”
"In a place where wild beasts conquer, human nature is the most superfluous thing. There are no people here, hahaha. There are no humans living on this land at all. They are just a bunch of two-legged beasts!"
Andreev yelled toward the battlefield, "Come and fight! Since they are all beasts, then show your teeth! Then come and bite! Who is afraid of who?"
The defenders of Vladivostok interpreted the correct meaning of the idiom of a trapped beast still fighting. When human nature is surrounded by despair, animal nature will immediately replace it. Not to mention human history, there are actually many real examples in Chinese history of using two-legged sheep as military rations. .
Is it really a lack of military rations? Maybe that is just one of the factors, and there is a deeper thinking, that is, some commanders do not want their soldiers to have human nature, because bestiality is a very effective way to maintain the combat effectiveness of an army.
Is there really a human being beneath the skin? Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Today's Far East is destined to have no chance of civilization, with killing, cannibalism, genocide and of course betrayal! At this moment, the Kirigakure kid had already smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.
A cavalry troop of 200 people was galloping from east to west, trampling on Canxue. As the general person in charge of the volunteer army's logistics work, Kirigakure Xiaogui had to personally coordinate the supplies purchased from the three eastern provinces.
The Ussuri River is the national boundary agreed upon by the Beijing Treaty between China and Russia. The east bank of the river is the Far East of Tsarist Russia, and the west bank is the land of Jilin and Heilongjiang. On this piece of ice, there are three ferries with solid ice that serve the volunteers day and night. Transport grain and grass.
Ryukyu's maritime supplies are very precious. Each ship can only transport guns, gunpowder, etc. that the Qing Dynasty cannot provide. There is really no extra transportation force to transport food and war horses.
A large amount of rice, noodles, meat, alfalfa, soybeans, wood, oil and other military necessities need to be purchased from Jilin and Heilongjiang and then hired local civilians to transport them to the front line.
The 40,000-strong army consumes a huge amount of supplies every day when people eat horses and chews. If you delay it for even one day, something big will happen. This is also an important factor why Long Ye uses Sister Wu as his deputy. Even though the kid in the volunteer army is a woman, she is The general appointed by the prime minister personally is second only to herself, so having her come forward can definitely calm the situation.
"Sir, the checkpoint of Xiaotumen Village is just ahead. Our largest distribution center for supplies? Wait, why are there suddenly fewer carts delivering horse feed? What's going on?"
The sentinels beside Sister Wu were Inoyama Chou and Maeda Yujiro who were recruited by Fuso. After a winter of hard training, the two clever samurai were now proficient in Chinese and had no problem in daily communication with the people outside the customs. When he saw something strange, he immediately galloped to a large car and asked.
"Fellow! Why are there so few trucks transporting horse feed today?"
The old man driving the cart was not afraid of the soldiers. He just shook his head, "I heard from the old soldier that the ice downstream has broken. Now there is a limit to crossing the river. You can't cross too many at once. I don't know about the other things. Sir, just take a look." Got it! Fight”
Sister Wu's eyes suddenly shrank. She smelled an ominous premonition. As a ninja, she had a natural intuition for danger. What happened at the ferry crossing of Xiaotumen Village felt a bit strange.
"Gah, let's go take a look!"
