Chapter 39: The Pre-War Suicide Note (Revised)
“…… Don: If I were doing business with you, I think I'd have a few more eyes. Also, I would like to ask, are you of Jewish descent? Moreover, you want me to be a general who specializes in arguing with the quartermaster department of the military department, aren't you! ”
Tang Yunyang grinned: "My general, if you are lucky enough to see our merchants in Shanxi, China, you will understand, Jews!" When it comes to doing business, they have to learn from our businessmen in Shanxi! However, I'm from Shaanxi, and our people are more honest and not very good at business! ”
"Is that so?"
Obviously, Tang Yunyang's confession cannot make others believe it.
Soon after, Tang Yunyang completed preparations to borrow some ammunition from the French army. With the war going on like this, it is estimated that the French government will not even treat some box gun bullets and shells of 75mm guns as treasures. Seriously, don't do it in vain, all you get from selling it in China is real money.
Now he is still short of money from the Chinese Baath Party, although he has ransacked the banks controlled by the gangs in New York, so that they can get a lot of money. But don't you need money to build an arms base in "Batavia", you don't need money to build an army, or do you want money to study abroad!
So, the money! It was always something that he Tang Yunyang lacked.
"Fuck, this is really exciting, my second pole brother, let's have a good time together this time!"
This is Patton's distinctive speech, and there is a joy in his words that cannot be concealed. He never imagined that he would not only be able to participate in the battle here, but also be able to drive the world's most advanced armored fighting vehicle and fight like a cavalry. As a cavalry officer, Patton once deeply regretted that the glory of the cavalry was gone, but now it is naturally gone.
At this time, Patton had not yet experienced the baptism of the bureaucratic era in the American military after World War I. In the short time that he has been in Thunder International, his distinctive style has made him liked by the officers and soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion. Although the language was incomprehensible, the kind of language that showed care and love all the time but was slightly rude was welcomed by the soldiers.
At the same time, a guy like him was also welcomed by Li Erpole. Both of them belong to the assault force, especially during training, they often cooperate with each other in training and practice attacks. The more they ran in, the more like-minded they became, and Barton, who was in his 30s, and Li Er, who was in his 20s, became brothers.
"the thief, second brother, let's get it this time, and move all the cowardly things back to him!"
This is the characteristic of Li Erpole, he knows that his eldest brother Tang Yunyang loves to rob, and as for Barton, who can only be the second brother, he loves to fight the most. As for himself, he belongs to the kind of guy who loves to rob and fight.
Tang Yunyang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he listened to their conversation, two guys who couldn't understand each other were so kind-tempered. And the courage of a Li Erpole is not small, now add a hot-blooded and bold Barton, it seems that it is not possible to get vaccinated first, I am really afraid that they will not be able to take it if they open it.
"You two, when you are in this operation, you must first strictly implement the battle plan. And when you camp at night, don't forget to come and command the troops to listen to the intelligence and the next day's attack! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Tang Yunyang has been worried that Barton may not be easy to manage. After all, no matter his age, qualifications, or educational qualifications, he could not compare with him who had participated in the war. Ling Tang Yunyang didn't expect that when dealing with the military order, this guy would be so serious.
"Very good, fully prepare for the battle, I estimate that it will take a day or two to start fighting!"
"Yes, sir! That's it, my brothers want to go to war and go crazy! ”
Facing Li Er, who had become a little skinny after accepting the order, Tang Yunyang glanced at him with slanted eyes, and snorted coldly in his mouth.
"I'm afraid I want to pay a bonus, but I can tell you in advance that the bonus is a comprehensive evaluation, a comprehensive evaluation of casualties, attack speed, and capture, and I want military merit! It's not difficult, I want your brothers to do a good job, I have meritorious deeds, and of course there are bonuses! Also, if you want to say goodbye to someone, I want them to hurry up tonight! ”
"How can you! How can I think like that, it's all my gang of bastard boys, for fear that someone will rob them of their credit. I said it all, our big brother is not that kind of person, those little rabbit cubs just don't believe it! ”

Mechanized warfare, sounds good!
The ground-air integrated battle is also very cool to do.
But it's not so cool to prepare.
I'm afraid only God knows how troublesome it is to prepare for such an operation. The problems of communication between the ground forces and the planes in the sky, the coordination of the ground forces, tanks, artillery fire, the armored infantry accompanying the attack, and the two-day preparation time were not as sufficient as they seemed.
The fuel bombs of the planes, the supply of the tanks, and the follow-up infantry all kept the staff officers of the 1st French Assault Cavalry Division busy.
Zhu Binhou, who is actually in charge of the Thunder International Staff, has to work with the staff officers of the First Assault Cavalry Division in addition to a mess in the flying team, and at least this plan will be the first joint operation between the two armies, and there will be no mistakes in the slightest.
The preparations before the war were very busy, and almost all the soldiers began to work on their last things at the same time. According to the regulations, the first soldier needs to complete the insurance of his own company.
It's not a lot of money, but at this time, when the salary is only $10 a week, it's not too little. The family of each soldier killed in battle will receive a $2,000 insurance premium, and $1,500 for those who are injured and unable to work. Another condition is that they can bring their designated relatives to the West to receive a full education starting from primary school.
Just like Li Er's pole, on the eve of the battle, the uncertain future of life and death makes almost every soldier nervous before the battle, and only then will they think of their dearest people. As Chinese people who "put filial piety first", young people often think of their own mothers before they go into battle.
Like most soldiers, Li Erpole is also literate in the company, and this matter is linked to bonuses, not to mention how much motivation there is.
Under the candlelight in the dormitory, Li Erpole picked up the pen. The hand that could wield the box gun and the Stern submachine gun felt extremely heavy at the moment. He struggled to grip the pen and scribble words the size of grapes on the paper.
"Mother: ......"
After a mother's word, he couldn't write another word. At this time, in retrospect, after all these years of traveling from south to north, and finally came to France, the appearance of my mother's mother, after experiencing so much, actually seemed so bleak and blurred.
In my memory, what I have is just the high slope of the loess, those sharp and slightly desolate winds blowing from the north.
I raised my head and thought about it, so I just wrote in the vernacular.
"You read this letter, which means that the unfilial son has died overseas for the glory of the family, so please send the third child to France to study, and as for the second child, let him go to my eldest brother by himself......"
