The so-called "humanitarianism" in the West is only for those who have status and status, and for ordinary soldiers, there is no such thing as humanitarianism. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mu is even more extreme here, as long as he enters the prisoner of war camp, there is no distinction between officers and soldiers, no matter whether he has a title or not, he has to work according to the point, and if he doesn't work, he won't even have to eat.

In addition to hiring people, Green Giles also had to purchase a large amount of materials in Cuba through Li Mu, except for reinforced concrete, which Cuba could not provide, and everything else that could be solved on the spot in Cuba had to be purchased in Cuba, even if the price was doubled, it was cheaper than shipping thousands of miles from the United States.

When Li Mu learned of Greene Giles' procurement plan, Li Mu decided to open another cement plant in San Diego to meet the consumption of Santiago and Guantanamo.

Building a cement plant is not an overnight thing, but urban construction is not something that can be completed in a year and a half.

Li Mu and Green Giles discussed for two days and signed a series of purchase and sale contracts, and the orders brought by Green Giles were digested eighty percent, and Li Mu was satisfied with it.

"What our buddies didn't say about their feelings, 600,000, it will arrive in the account within three days, you just sit back and wait to receive the money." After signing their names on the contract, Li Mu and Green Giles raised their glasses in celebration.

According to the usual practice, Li Mu wants to give 10% to Green Giles, and the total value of the contract between Li Mu and Green Giles is 5 million US dollars.

"It's a good cooperation, but you have to move quickly, Washington may come in October, and you will see results then." Green Giles is very satisfied and believes that Li Mu can do things perfectly.

"Don't worry, the wharf has been expanding, you should have seen it when you came, there is also a coastal defense battery by the sea, you only need to transport the shore defense artillery over, it can play a role immediately, as for the barracks, there are ready-made ones, they can be expanded at any time, I have all the materials ready, I will make it as big as you want-" Li Mu is not worried, Li Mu has been preparing since three months ago, and now everything is ready only to the east wind.

To say that Cuba is really a good place, there is a quarry in the Pugliar Mountains near Guantanamo, the marble produced is famous far and wide, it has always been a high-end building material, it can definitely meet the requirements of Washington, and there is a lot of wood, Li Mu has a logging yard in the Maestra Mountains and the Pugliar Mountains, and there is a pine island in the distance, and the timber is even more or less.

There are many Chinese in Guantanamo, and Nelson found a few Chinese who can burn brick kilns and set up a kiln factory in Guantanamo, and now there are nearly 1,000 workers in the kiln factory, which can provide more than 500,000 red bricks every month, which is enough to support the construction of Guantanamo.

In order to solve the problem of lack of manpower, Li Mu asked Ricardo to go to the surrounding Dominica, Jamaica and other places to hire workers, the workers here are much cheaper than the workers in the United States, five dollars a month is simply how much it costs.

In the past few days of negotiations between Li Mu and Green Giles, Will organized people to learn how to use mortars, this is actually a matter of practice makes perfect, skilled gunners don't even need to calculate, they can estimate the approximate distance of the target at a glance, but this ability will definitely not be practiced in a few days, and it will take a lot of operations to accumulate experience.

The war is ongoing, El Christo has thousands of people dying every day, there is no more time left for the artillerymen of the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, George Dewey is sending telegrams every day, urging Li Mu to order the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment to attack, the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment is also eager to fight, the cavalry has tasted the sweetness and wants more feats, the infantry have not yet opened the meat and desperately want to prove themselves, Li Mu can't drag it out, July 25, Li Mu ordered Will to lead the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment to capture Lamaya near El Cristo, threaten Willis Nikolau's flank, and fight George Dewey in the horns, preparing to launch a counteroffensive against Willis Nikolau.

It should be mentioned here that El Cristo is a funnel-shaped valley, the valley mouth is about eight kilometers wide and six kilometers deep, El Christo is stuck at the bottom of the funnel like a floodgate, and La Maya itself is a high ground, about two kilometers outside the valley mouth, just behind the side of the Spaniards, if the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment occupies Ramaya, then it can come to an urn at any time to catch turtles.

Such a strategic location, Willis Nicolau will certainly not take it lightly, in fact, there is currently a force stationed in La Maya to protect the Spanish flank, and this force is still composed entirely of Spaniards, not Spanish servants.

"And what happened to the troops, which consisted entirely of Spaniards? Tonight I will attack with a cavalry battalion for a maximum of two hours, and I will ensure that this group of enemies will be completely annihilated. Will was gearing up at the prep meeting to give the Spaniard a look of colour.

"You don't have two hours, there is another Spanish army stationed in St. Louis, if you don't end the battle within half an hour, that army will come to reinforce, the consequences don't need me to say you know, there are at least 80,000 Spanish troops nearby, if we give them enough time to react, we will be surrounded by heavy - " Li Mu's requirements were high, and he couldn't give Will two hours.

Hearing Li Mu's statement, Li Bola, who was already qualified to attend the meeting, suddenly gasped, he had tasted the taste of being surrounded by Spaniards before, it was not very comfortable, and Li Bora did not want to experience it again.

"Half an hour? Don't do it, the Spaniards definitely don't have such a quick reaction time, and I'm sure they can't even get dressed in half an hour. Will disagreed with Li Mu's analysis.

Well, Li Mu did overestimate the reaction speed of the Spaniards, in fact, Li Mu inferred the Spaniards according to the reaction speed of the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, which is a bit nitpicking, whether it is the level of training or the level of equipment, the Spaniards cannot be compared with the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment now.

"I know the Spaniards are not so fast, but we can't have a fluke mentality, strategically contempt the enemy, tactically we have to pay attention to the enemy, we have to win this battle cleanly, without giving the Spaniards any chance." Li Mu is not careless, there is no big mistake in being careful.

"Then we can send a force to pin down the Spaniards in St. Louis, and if the Spaniards in St. Louis react fast enough, we can give them some trouble." Bai Qi lived up to this name and showed his talent at the right time.

"Yes, you take the reconnaissance company to pin down the Spaniards in St. Louis, and have the cavalry company support you with two machine gun squads." Li Mu agreed with Bai Qi's suggestion and gave Bai Qi appropriate support.

The reconnaissance company is a special existence in the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, this unit has less than 100 soldiers, but it has the strongest personal comprehensive strength, and each of them is proficient in armed swimming, long-distance running, explosives, and so on, similar to the special forces of the 21st century.

Of course, corresponding to the strong personal strength, is the relatively weak firepower of the reconnaissance company, in order to emphasize the speed of the march, the reconnaissance company is not equipped with heavy firepower, even light machine guns are very few, if the firepower is not properly strengthened, Li Mu is worried that the reconnaissance company will suffer.

"If only we could take Palma Soliano down, so that we can surround the Spaniards and not let them escape." Yan Hu is ambitious and wants to eat a fat man in one bite.

Palma Soriano was the main route to Bayamo, and to capture Palmasoriano would be to cut off the Spaniards' back route.

Yan Hu can see the importance of Palma Soriano, and Willis Nikolau can also see that in fact, Palma Soriano is the station of Willis Nikolau, and Willis Nikolau has stationed two divisions in Parmasoriano, including a division of regular army, which is a hard bone, and the current Guantanamo Infantry Regiment can't swallow it.

"Don't think that far, we just need to defeat the Spaniards, and then chase the Spaniards all the way, don't look at the Spaniards there are 80,000 people, in fact, after days of fierce battles, the morale of the Spaniards has weakened to the bottom, as long as Willis Nicolau loses the battle, the Spaniards will be doomed." Li Mu is confident, and he doesn't think much of the Spaniards in his bones.

Regarding the morale of the Spaniards, this is not Li Mu's casual nonsense, after Francisco's troops were wiped out, the Spaniards sent several waves of communication troops in a row, all of which were unexpectedly wiped out by the scouts and cavalry of the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, judging from the available intelligence, the supply of the Spaniards has been problematic, and if there is no problem with the information obtained, then Willis Nikolau will not last long.

"Alright, now begin to match the tables, the troops will leave at ten o'clock on time, and at two o'clock in the morning they will attack, and I hope that at dawn I will be able to watch the sunrise from the top of the hill in Ramaya." Li Mu gave the order for the final attack, and in the future, whether the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment ate meat or drank soup depended on this battle.

"Victory! Victory! Victory! Everyone shouted in unison, and then split up to prepare.

After the meeting ended, Li Mu deliberately found Will.

"Will, if you can, I want you to stay in command of the Chinese army, instead of charging into battle yourself." Li Mu made a request to Will, not wanting Will to put himself in danger.

"Don't worry, Reem, I'm measured, I'll pretend when it's time to pretend." Will doesn't do anything like slapping a swollen face and making a fat man, this guy is also a veteran of the Civil War, and he definitely won't make those low-level mistakes.

"Okay, you want to continue your military career, Gloria and I don't object, but you must not let us down." Li Mu reminded again.

This time Will was silent for a while, and then nodded silently.

Rub, feelings this guy was still perfunctory just now-
