A team of armored vehicles, trucks and cavalry marched slowly on the green grassland.
The armored cavalry company led by Lu Ming was at the forefront as the outpost. At this time in August, the northern grassland was the time when the grass was growing and the orioles were flying. There had been abundant rainfall this year, and the wormwood on the rolling hills of the vast grassland was as tall as one person. From a military perspective, even if there is a large army setting up an ambush, it is not easy to detect.
Under the grassy slope in front, several herdsmen were grazing their sheep. When they saw the convoy and horse team here, they had no reaction.
Ma Chinuer whistled and galloped away with a few horses.
Soon, he led the pale-faced herdsmen to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming rode a horse most of the time. In addition, there was a seat for Lu Ming in armored car No. 10 when encountering enemies.
According to the herdsmen's confessions, Ma Hairen was right. A dozen miles ahead was the small grassland tribe closest to Li Han.
The captured herdsmen even stammered and asked Ma Chinuer's men in a low voice, are the people from Zhongzhou going to war with us?
Lord Chi Nuer, why are you getting along with the people from Central China?
Obviously, even the tribes immediately adjacent to Li Han didn't know much about the outside world.
Everyone knows that a force called the Japanese have recently arrived from Lihan and want to be attached to Ma Quanyou Khan. They can sell them food at a high price and maybe exchange highland barley wine for a few slaves.
After the armored cavalry company approached and quickly controlled this small tribe of several hundred people, it became even more chaotic.
After all, even though we were on the edge of the grassland, we hadn't robbed each other with the Central-Continent people for a long time. We had no idea what was going on. Those who came back to the tent to resist with guns and firecrackers were all shot dead by Ma Chinu'er and others. .
…
Next to the armored vehicle, Lu Ming sat on the ground and was about to ask Ma Hairen to record on the loudspeaker.
The main content is to enumerate Ma Quanyou's crimes, which have been convicted of crimes against humanity by the northern Xinjiang court. The Montenegro Corps is only to eradicate Ma Quanyou's ruling group. The tribal civilians are not guilty, but they must surrender to the Principality of Montenegro from now on.
In fact, broadcasting these to the herdsmen will not have any effect on making people regret, it will only make their own teachers famous.
How to manage these herders is also a headache.
Two thousand years ago, the Zhongzhou Dynasty conquered the Sanyuan Grassland. From the grassland owners to the common people, they were forced to give up their own language and use Zhongzhou script. Even their names all used Zhongzhou names, and the surnames of Horse, Ox, and Sheep were the most common.
The three major tribes of horses, cattle and sheep are the Hongyuan, Huangyuan and Lanyuan tribes of the Sanyuan tribe.
Ma Quanyou, the leader of the Hongyuan tribe, is now the leader of the three alliances. He founded the country and became the khan of the grassland.
Therefore, even if the name, language, and characters have been "assimilated", at heart they are still a nomadic tribe, and their behavioral habits and thinking patterns are simply incompatible with the people of Central China.
In fact, Sanyuan Grassland does not have any mineral resources, and its territory cannot serve as a buffer for the principality. In the industrial society, if the Northern Territory develops well, there is no need to absorb its land and population, but it will be a burden. If the Sanyuan Grassland is outside the territory, they can exchange their industrial products for their livestock products and use scissors to harvest the resources they create.
On the contrary, if they must belong to the same country, they will be given various financial supports and preferential treatment, and they may not be convinced or resentful.
If it is defined as outside the territory, and our people have high living standards and developed humanities, it is probably because of their historical origins that they will cry and clamor to join our country. Our country will either absorb it or ignore it, which is the way to be king.
However, these are things for later, let’s defeat the Ma Quanyou Group first.
Seeing Ma Hairen nervously recording into the loudspeaker, Lu Ming shook his head. In the previous life, many people were nervous when they were on camera for the first time. In this world, they were also nervous when recording for the first time.
"Captain Wang...Captain Wang!" The woman said with a slightly angry voice. Two slender white figures turned around from the back of the armored vehicle. In the front was a beautiful young woman in her twenties, followed by a delicate girl timidly following behind. They are all Japanese military medical uniforms, a snow-white medical skirt that is somewhat similar to a military windbreaker, with white pants, white socks and white soft shoes exposed under the skirt, and a snow-white medical hat with a red cross pattern. Among the soldiers who are all composed of rough men, It is a beautiful scenery.
"Captain Wang! Why are you shooting casually? We are here to liberate the herdsmen, not to hurt them, right?!" The beautiful female military doctor who was talking to Lu Ming angrily was the company's military medical officer Oyumiko, who was following her It’s nurse Kana Oka.
According to the organizational structure of the Montenegrin Corps, one medical officer and two nurses will be assigned to the company level.
However, the recent expansion of the army has been too rapid, and the newly formed divisions and brigades cannot yet reach this level. The shortage of medical officers at the company level is serious.
In the Austria-Vietnam Brigade, the medical officers and nurses are all from family members of the troops and overseas Chinese in the Austria-Vietnam Division. There is also a shortage of medical officers at the company level.
Because the Japanese division's standard equipment is not as good as that of the Montenegrin Corps. Even the brigade level of 1,000 people is not equipped with medical officers, and only the regiment level has army doctors.
However, the armored cavalry company is the elite company of the Austrian-Vietnam Brigade, so it was assigned doctors and nurses to accompany the army.
Moreover, Oyumiko is not only a doctor, but her husband is also the chief of staff of the division, Hiroshi Yamamoto. She volunteered to join the armored cavalry company, and she was the one who invited her to join the most dangerous first-line company.
Yamamoto Hiroshi is a typical young Japanese officer, an extremely stubborn one, and he is not an Oyue. He was the chief of staff appointed by the military before the Ouyue Division came to the Northern Territory from Japan. He is usually considered to be sent by the military to monitor the Ouyue Division.
It seems that Yamamoto Hiroshi was extremely resistant to the Otsutsu Division's desire to help the Montenegrins fight.
Like her husband, Oyumiko has a strong sense of national pride and mission.
The difference is that Oyumiko may be more philanthropic, so she is also willing to participate in the action of liberating slaves and ordinary herdsmen.
Japanese female doctors and nurses who accompanied the army, especially those who came to Zhongzhou, were like Oyumiko. They were instilled with a strong sense of honor when they were in medical school. They believed that when they came to Zhongzhou, they were liberating the poor together with their own tribesmen soldiers. The ultimate goal of the people of the Northern Territory in the future is to drive the Western forces back to the west.
Lu Ming knew this very well. Even for Japanese soldiers, the military department was not advertising that you were going out to invade and kill people and set fire to them.
Rather, it will instill very lofty goals.
But there is no doubt that war will turn people into beasts.
Now Oyumiko, apparently because some tribesmen were beaten to death, she couldn't save them at all. She was very angry and came to argue with the leader of Nakasu.
Hearing her tone, Ma Chinuer, who was standing next to Lu Ming, immediately stared.
Lu Ming waved his hand to Ma Chinuer, looked at Oyumiko and said, "It's just a misunderstanding. This is not a recording. It's just telling the herdsmen not to be afraid. Although we have printed leaflets, most of the herdsmen are illiterate, so sending them out will have no effect. It's better to broadcast with a loudspeaker." As he spoke, he pointed at Ma Hairen who was tinkering with the loudspeaker.
Ma Hairen smiled awkwardly at Oyumiko. No matter whether he was from Central China or Japan, he was an outsider and he did not dare to say anything when they had disagreements with each other.
Lu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at Oyumiko, "I think it's better for you to record it. A woman's voice is softer and can better comfort the herders. You are also fluent in Nakasu dialect."
"Okay!" Oyumiko immediately agreed happily. This would reduce conflicts with the herdsmen, which was exactly the purpose of her visit.
