Major Aikeson, Captain Wennia and others were dumbfounded. The Chinese soldiers in front of them were carrying poles, and baskets of white rice were piled in the center of the battlefield.
The Chinese battlefield announcers at the back started shouting again with tin trumpets, "Tsarist Russian soldiers on the opposite side! Don't make fearless sacrifices. Think of your parents, wives, children, your brothers and sisters..."
"They are waiting for you to return home. Why are they leaving their lives here? If it is a war that must be won, it is okay for you to fight. Do you still fight when you know that you will definitely die?"
"We accept your surrender. We don't want to cause too much killing. You can feel free to carry the rice!"
Nohira spat out at the Russian army, "Damn it, we burned so much food in Bailayi, and now we have to give it to them for free? You want to follow my wishes and slaughter them all..."
Hyōtaro also echoed, "That's right, with so much Nanyang rice, how many rice balls have to be made! It's so unscrupulous to waste it like this. I don't know what my father is thinking..."
As a left-behind officer, Sima Yun was responsible for all military and political work in Ryukyu. When he heard these two people muttering behind his back, he didn't even turn around and scolded him, "Fuck, you are a pair of losers. The Prime Minister has cultivated you for so many years, but you still don't understand? I'll kick you if you continue to talk nonsense." you……"
"Now that the war is over, what we have to consider are various matters in the diplomatic negotiations that follow. Do you think the ashes of dead bodies on the ground are more threatening to people? Or are tens of thousands of living prisoners more threatening?"
"As long as there are tens of thousands of living Tsarist Russian soldiers in our prisoner-of-war camps, the Tsar and others will have to take action against them, and they will have to consider the domestic and international impacts..."
"Even if they are naturally cold-blooded and ruthless bastards, sometimes they have to pretend to be compassionate. This is a show they perform in order to govern the country! Do you understand..."
Noheita and Hyoutarou scratched their heads in embarrassment, "We all understand the truth, but...but after eating so much food, they will have more energy to fight with us..."
"Hehehe..." Sima Yun suddenly laughed mischievously, "What are you thinking about? The Prime Minister has already got a clever plan, just wait and see..."
For more than 10,000 Russian soldiers, one thousand kilograms of rice is the amount of porridge they drink in one day. Ten adult men eat one kilogram of white rice. Together, each person can get 100 grams in one day. This amount can only be said to be To maintain the most basic needs of life, it will be over if you don't starve to death.
And the Chinese didn't mind the trouble. They gave it to them every morning, just enough to feed them for one day. They gave these Tsarist Russian soldiers enough water every day. You see, after three days, every one of these Russian soldiers had faces. Bloated.
Three days later, Noheita and Hyoutarou finally understood the Prime Minister's evil plan. "How wicked! Just give them gruel, without even a grain of salt! Vegetables and meat are even more impossible. This person can live without salt." ?"
Modern medicine has proven that living things cannot live without salt. It regulates the balanced distribution of water in the human body, maintains osmotic pressure inside and outside cells, participates in the formation of gastric acid, promotes the secretion of digestive juices, and increases appetite; at the same time, it also ensures the pH necessary for the action of pepsin and maintains the pH balance in the body , and normal circulation of body fluids.
Without salt, human biological functions will be disordered, and clinical symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, fatigue, etc. will occur. If the army does not have salt to eat, then why fight?
It doesn't matter if you don't eat salt for a day or two. The human body stores sodium ions, but if you don't eat salt for a week, side effects will appear.
The last batch of salty military rations was also consumed, and the seasonings disappeared completely. Each of these Russian soldiers went crazy searching for the non-existent salt.
If someone has a piece of salty compressed biscuit or a can of military rations or something in his hand, it will definitely trigger a melee, and even the officers will not be able to suppress it, or the officers will simply get out and start grabbing.
In the end, all the salty food was consumed, and people began to suck the salty taste from their skin, but after a few rains, even the sweat they produced was bland.
After all, Amami Oshima is an island. Seawater and typhoons wash away it, leaving a certain amount of salt on the rocks. When the sun is bright, some salt will appear on the sunny side. This is the treasure of the Russian army.
The Chinese soldiers at the foot of the mountain were dumbfounded. Once the weather cleared up, these Tsarist Russian soldiers ignored the threat of the Chinese guns and ran to the sunny side to lick the rocks. They all kissed the big rocks with their mouths like goats.
"My dear uncle and grandma! Are these old men crazy? They are competing with the animals for food...Are they eating grass?"
The salt on the stone is indeed natural salt, but this salt is not pure. It is mixed with a lot of impurities and even toxic minerals. If your physical fitness is slightly poor, you will have diarrhea.
During this time, Tangwan Mountain is called a stinker! The stench was so bad that many Tsarist Russian soldiers lost their strength, until finally Axon ordered some soldiers who looked like they could not survive to walk to the middle of the battlefield and surrender to the Chinese.
Sima Yun looked at the dying soldiers being carried off on a stretcher and couldn't help but sigh, "The Tsar really chose the most loyal soldiers. He still insists on it, yet he doesn't surrender as a whole? What's going on in these people's minds?" How proud you are!"
That's right, Aikeson and the remaining officers and soldiers were holding on to a vague hope. They imagined that Fadeev's cavalry regiment would win a complete victory. By then, life would naturally be easier once the negotiations started.
The proud Tsarist Russian Legion endured hardship until they met a visitor from Vladivostok, which completely shook their morale.
Andreev the Bear was already considered the highest-ranking general in the Vladivostok garrison. Everyone with a higher official rank than him was killed in the war or was humanely destroyed by Xiao Letian.
Because the Chinese must ensure that the surrender order signed by Andreev must be the signature of the highest surviving officer in Vladivostok, so that there is sufficient legal basis.
Andreev did not see Gogol and Furmanov's reinforcements arriving on the battlefield. When the killing began on the Suifen River ice, he had already sailed south by boat. In his heart, the failure of the war had already There is no doubt about it.
As the senior prisoner who signed the surrender order, Andreev was able to enjoy a single cabin, fine food and limited freedoms, including the dignity due to an officer.
Of course, all this is conditional. Andreev must personally go to Amami Island to bring news of the fall of Vladivostok to Exxon, and finally persuade this lone army to surrender.
Andreev looked at the wreckage of the shipwreck in the strait that had not been cleared in time, and couldn't help but sigh as he imagined the tragedy of that naval battle.
"The Chinese have armored ships that exceed European levels, but we still arrogantly think that they are a group of backward barbarians... How can we be invincible! How can we be invincible..."
