Chapter 69 Requirements

The prayers of the captives did not make their wish come true. The battle outside ended about half an hour later. When the door was opened, a unique smell of blood and smoke from the battlefield reached Colonel Madlitov's nose. There were countless torches on the playground outside the door. With the light of the fire, the few bodies that fell outside the door were clearly visible. Madlitov saw the guard leader who hung him up a few days ago and slapped him hard, lying there with his head stiff, as if his face was hit, and it was covered with blood. Madlitov felt refreshed in his heart and said loudly: "I am Colonel Madlitov, I want to see your commander, I am Colonel Madlitov, I want to see your commander..."

When the colonel shouted, a soldier next to him rushed up and knocked him to the ground with a gun. Only then did he see that it was not the Russian army that occupied the place, but the Chinese.

At this time, all the prison doors were opened, and a voice shouted in Russian, "Everyone brought their clothes and quilts to the square, and everyone brought their clothes and quilts to the square, and they did not obey the command, and they would kill them." Madlitov then realized that they were captured by another beard, but who were they and what did they want these prisoners to do.

After more than ten days of march, the Russian prisoners arrived at another camp and they were interrogated again. However, the keyword of this interrogation was not military information, but military rank. At the same time, the news came that the bandits were going to sell them to the Japanese. According to the price offered by the Japanese, ordinary soldiers were 40 yuan, and the officers doubled. Famous figures like the colonel were estimated to be more than 10,000 yuan. When the other soldiers were happily discussing that they were going to Songshan (Japanese prisoners of war, with good treatment and Russian prisoners yearned for it), Madlitov wailed a few times, and then shouted in the only Chinese he knew at the door. "I see the one who brought the one who brought the one who brought the one who brought the one who brought the one who brought the one who brought the one who brought the one who brought the one who brought the one who brought the one who brought the one who brought the medicine..."

Madlitov soon met the person he wanted to meet, but what surprised him was that there was a white man around the boss. He was puzzled, but he still saluted the other party solemnly, and then said, "I am Colonel Madlitov of the Russian Army. I ask you to ask me to contact the Fengtian Russian Army Command. The boss does not have to sell us to the Japanese. The Russian army will pay the ransom."

"It's none of the ransom money. You didn't give me the money last time. I want to coax me this time?" Yang Rui acted very devotedly according to the script.

"Last time?" Madlitov looked at the other person's face and recalled it hard, but he really couldn't remember whether this person had bought it himself but had to pay for it. In the end, he couldn't remember it, so he said, "Master, who was the last time?"

"Which time? It's so spicy," Yang Rui was furious, and a whip whip on the table, which scared Madridov with a "slap" sound. "Which time is Xiong Yuecheng? I've died a lot of people. I haven't received a penny, so I'm still pretending to be garlic."

Madlitov was stunned and reported it for a while. He knew about the beard's raid on Xiong Yuecheng in August. At that time, Governor Alexeyev praised him specifically for this matter, but he had to pretend to accept it. In private, he asked around who these people were. But he knew nothing about it, just like the Japanese. "Ah, it turns out that you are Zhang's Manchu friends. We have paid him the fees and paid him. The Governor has long since given the money..."

"But he didn't give it to us," Yang Rui said angrily, "My people can't find him now. Where have you got him?" Yang Rui was still angry. Zhang Shi suddenly disappeared some time ago, and the people arranged in Lushun could not contact him at all.

"I don't know, I don't know." Madlitov said, "Fengtian broke off contact with Lushun in October. There was no news about me before I was ambushed."

"I've been talking for a long time but I still don't have a single hair, grandma's." Yang Rui became rude, "If I had known, I might as well help the Japanese and take him down. I'll sell it to the Japanese in a few days." Yang Rui finally ordered the orderly soldiers.

The translator did not turn over to Madlitov this time. He didn't understand what Yang Rui was going to do for a moment. He just panicked when the guards outside the house wanted to take him down. "Boss, I can give you money, I can give you money..."

Yang Rui said: "How much can you give? The Japanese price for you is 10,000 yuan. If we talk about it again, it is okay to sell it to 50,000 yuan. They seem to have not captured officers of such high rank."

"Fifty thousand is OK, fifty thousand is OK." Madlitov shouted.

"There are also the last time's 500,000, and you guys 100,000, a total of... one million official posts. If you get the money back, I will let you go." Yang Rui spoke loudly, knocking as much as the bamboo pole can.

Madlidov readily agreed to all his requests for Yang Rui. The dozens of days of life in prison made him want to catch every straw around him to return to the circle of the superiors before. Although his backer, His Excellency Alekseyev, the governor of the Far East, was recalled by the Tsar because of the unfavorable war, General Billy Jerlinger, who was said to have replaced Kulopatkin, has set out from St. Petersburg. If nothing unexpected happens, then he should be the commander-in-chief of the Far East Russian Army. As long as he can go back, everything will be fine.

With Madlitov fully agreeing, the talks on remuneration and ransom soon ended. Yang Rui had no idea about the contradictions in Russian politics and did not know anything about the struggle for internal control of the Russian army. He just felt that his request was too smooth and he felt uneasy. At the end of the conversation, Yang Rui said again: "Mr. Colonel, I still have requirements, no, it should be a suggestion."

Madlitov refused and said, "Dear..., it's really rude to ask your name." The colonel's mind seemed to be filled with many shocks.

The pseudonym Yang Rui had already thought about it, and he said, "My name is Wang Qinian, you can call me Wang."

"Dear King," Madlitov didn't know that Wang Qinian was a ten thousand-year-old supporting role. He thought it was really Yang Rui's name. He smiled vigorously with a bearded face, "What are your suggestions? Only if it is built, I will accept it immediately."

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Sir Colonel, before I say this suggestion, I have to introduce you to General Leo William, who is my chief of staff." While Yang Rui introduced, Leo saluted Madlitov, "He is a German. Before coming to the Far East, he was a lieutenant colonel of the German Army, and his teacher Lieutenant General Goldz has been in Turkey to serve the Austro-Hungarian Empire."

Yang Rui's introduction made Madlitov's return gift even more solemn. As a soldier, from the captive camp to the present place, he found that the Chinese soldiers escorted them were excellent, much better than some Qing soldiers. However, their weapons were extremely bad, and some seemed to carry local wooden spears.

Regardless of how his attitude changed, Yang Rui continued: "My soldiers are trained according to the standards of the German Army. I believe they are the best. Mr. Colonel has been recruiting horse bandits to serve the Russian army. I think this army is completely competent."

When Madlitov heard this, he felt that he was favored by God today. He said happily, "Oh, really? Thank God. Dear King, how many of you have? Now... we have too few troops. Japan recruited tens of thousands of horse bandits to serve them and destroyed our railway. The new commander-in-chief must be very anxious. We need you to protect..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Rui. "Col. Now, my soldiers are not only used as defenders. If they are asked to serve Russia, they must play a role in the frontal battlefield, otherwise everything will be free from discussions."

Yang Rui's words made Madlitov hallucinate. Was this Chinese crazy? He was stunned for a while before he found the appropriate words of polite rejection, "Dear King, according to my previous impression, I have not experienced training on the battlefield. Generally, soldiers will retreat when they hear the sound of cannons. If you rashly send them to the battlefield, if you enter the actual combat, it will be a disaster."

"Mr. Colonel." Through the dual translation, Leo understood Madlitov's concerns and joined the conversation. "These soldiers were able to fully meet the needs of the war after several months of professional military training. As for artillery, when they were fighting with another group of horse bandits last month, we seized a lot of original Russian artillery. Through live ammunition, these soldiers can be used for various situations on the battlefield."

Madlitov listened to the translated information. When he heard that he was fighting with another group of horse bandits, he asked Yang Rui in surprise, "Oh, my goodness, have you wiped them out? There are many Japanese in that group of bandits, and they are very powerful in combat." Madlitov, who was ambushed, did not believe that he was defeated by the Chinese. He believed that the reason why the bandits last time was very powerful was because there were many Japanese soldiers inside.

When he heard him ask about the Fuxing Army, Yang Rui said, "No, although we have thousands of people, our weapons are very poor. We basically attack them at night, otherwise we will have no chance of winning. I want my soldiers to go to the front battlefield of Japan and Russia to exercise, so that I can defeat them openly in the future. Mr. Colonel, if you still have any doubts, we can now inspect this army, and I believe you will be satisfied."

Madriddov actually did not take the excellent soldiers Yang Rui said at all. His experience in dealing with beards in Manchuria told him that these mountain kings are all face-loving kings, and they can only brag about how powerful they are. Any promises they promised were discounted and then discounted. Although he thought so, Madlib did not show it on his face at all. He followed Yang Rui to the outside of the tent, and only heard a military call. A few minutes later, countless soldiers dressed in neatly appeared in hundreds of tents. Then they stood on the snow outside the tent waiting for inspection. In the snow, looking at the soldiers lined up with serious faces, Madlib thought that this must be prepared, this must be prepared, and this must be prepared. Can the yellow people do better than the Russian army? This is impossible!

After the report of the duty officer was completed, Yang Rui stood at the forefront of the team and shouted: "Hello brothers."

The specially trained soldiers immediately shouted in unison: "Good, the boss!"

Yang Rui shouted again: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work!"

There was another shout in the team: "Fuck the little nose to death! Fuck the little nose to death!"

The shouts of thousands of people seemed to have scared away the snowflakes falling from the sky. Madlidov was shocked as if he was being lit into a hole. Although he didn't understand what the soldiers were shouting, the momentum was very shocking, which he had never experienced in the Russian army. The inspection ended soon. Although Madlidov was shocked, after the shock, he still felt that what he saw today was ridiculous. They could only shout, and he told himself this.

What you need now is to leave here immediately and return to Fengtian as soon as possible. As for how this bandit arranges it, it depends on General Billy Jerlinger's meaning. If he is willing to send this army to the front battlefield, then send it over. If he is not willing, then he should not be responsible. In his opinion, Yang Rui's request to go to the front battlefield will definitely not be agreed by the headquarters. The real situation of the Russian army now is that the commander-in-chief is too timid rather than insufficient soldiers.

Madlitov stayed in Wengquanling for another day before he was sent out of the mountain and returned to Fengtian by Yang Ruili. In order to ensure that he could arrive safely, he specially sent a platoon to escort him. Looking at the figure of Madlitov's car going away, Leo said: "It seems that I think things are too simple. This is a white world, and it is difficult for the Russian army to believe in our combat effectiveness."

Yang Rui was also worried about this. "Yes, Madlitov said anything is good. I think he can only give us some guns at most to protect the Russian army's railway line in the north. Maybe, this time, we can make some money and firearms, other ideas are really difficult to achieve." Speaking of this, Yang Rui thought, "Or... let's find some trouble on the Dongqing Railway. Let the Russian army's troops add some problems?"

"What, do you want to blow up the Russian railway bridge?" Leo asked.

"I have such an idea. I just don't know if this can be effective." Yang Rui said: "The last time the Battle of Shahe, the Russian army suffered more than 45,000 casualties, but now it is conservatively estimated that only 160,000 people are still irreparable for such losses by nine trains a day, and 15,000 people a month is irreparable, especially these trains have to transport other war materials. If the railway is cut off for about a month, then when the Japanese army takes over the Third Army in Lushun to head north, they will be anxious."

Leo knew that Yang Rui had an intelligence point in Lushun. He had basically agreed with the result that Lushun would eventually be occupied by the Japanese army. He asked, "How long can the Russian army defend? How many people can the Japanese Third Army go north after the end?"

Yang Rui said: "According to estimates, I can still defend for more than a month. I guess the defense line will collapse around the end of January. The main reason is that there is not enough food. As for the Japanese army, I feel like it is a lucky person to survive with 30,000 people." Zhang Shi gave Kandrachenko a lot of information. Compared with the previous two general attacks in history, the Japanese army died at least 10,000 people. As for the third general attack, the Japanese army did not settle Lushun with just over 20,000 like history, and at least half of them would die in more than 60,000 days.

"Thirty thousand people, plus the 100,000 people now. The Japanese only have 130,000. Even if there are two reserve divisions, the Japanese have a maximum of only 200,000 troops." Leo calculated the Japanese army's strength, but he was still confused about his ability to defeat the Russian army in Fengtian.

"Japan is a centralized country. As long as it needs it, he can still expand his age range and recruit soldiers again. I estimate that he will eventually have about 250,000 people in the final battle." Yang Rui said the historical data, but it was changed to me. "There is also the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Kuropatkin, who is too timid. It is said that his plan is to lead the army to retreat to Harbin to fight the Japanese army in a decisive battle."

Thinking of General Kuropatkin's Harbin decisive battle plan, Leo laughed, "This Kuropatkin was actually the chief of staff of General Skobelev before. It is said that he once advised him, believing that he was not decisive and brave enough to never be the commander of the army. His current performance completely proves that General Skobelev's statement is completely correct." After Leo said that, seeing that Yang Rui had no impression of General Skobelev, he said: "This General Skobelev is called the conqueroter of Central Asia and is fierce in combat. Russia's territory in Central Asia was basically captured by him. During the Russian-Turkish war in 1878, his troops captured less than ten miles from Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire."

Although there are various black information, Yang Rui rarely knows the relationship between celebrities of this era, especially these people. He has no impression of Skobelev at all, but it has nothing to do with it. There is still Leo in these.

"Leo, maybe we have overlooked a problem." Yang Rui said, "Madlitov just now seemed to talk about the new commander-in-chief. As far as I know, it seems that the Russian army does not have a new commander-in-chief. Could he be General Billy Jerlinger?"

"It is very possible. It is said that when he set out from Europe, he advocated that he would represent the whole of Europe. He should be a white supremacist." Leo said. These are all information sent by Yu Zixun from Europe. The Russian-Japanese war is in full swing, and the national debts of the two countries are also on the exchanges. In order to better let investors know the situation of the war, European newspapers do not let go of any situation in the two countries. It is said that General Billy Jerlinger, who "represents the whole of Europe", is a hardliner within Tsarist Russia. He is very dissatisfied with Kuropatkin's performance in the war and believes that he is only worthy of being a planner.
