On this day, Wang Maoru was drinking intercepted American red wine, and Tajiyana and two people**, adjutant Ma Liang reported that the second division of the Chinese army had arrived. It was the second division of the Anhui Department of the participating army, and Ma Liang, a Hui national, served as the division commander, but this Hui general Ma Liang fell ill in Venice as soon as he got off the boat.

Calculating the time, it has been two months since he came to Italy, Wang Maoru said to his adjutant with a smile: "Ma Liang, Ma Liang has arrived, what do you think?" ”

Ma Liang was speechless and said, "Xiushuai, you call my cousin, I have a good word, otherwise I will be dizzy." ”

Wang Maoru laughed, took someone to Venice to pick up people, and saw Ma Liang (Anhui general), who was vomiting and diarrhea, so he sighed: "Brother Zizhen, why is you so sick so strictly?" Ma Liang was speechless, and the Italian doctor on the side said: "This is malaria, very strict malaria, and people often get it when they sail away." Everyone was so frightened that they took a few steps back, Wang Maoru asked Ma Liang's adjutant if there were still people in the second division of the army who participated in the war this time if anyone had malaria, and the adjutant wanted to delay, Wang Maoru, the captain of the guard, Deng Zichao, pulled out a pistol and put it on his head and said: "To be honest, to be honest, if you lie to Xiushuai, beware of your head." ”

The adjutant had no choice but to say: "More than 300 people have contracted malaria and have been thrown into the sea on the way, and now there are more than 40 half-dead, and I don't know what to do." ”

"Fuck you, more than 300 people, how I don't know." Wang Maoru slapped the adjutant in the face, walked up to Ma Liang (General of Western Anhui), and said angrily: "Ma Zizhen, it is true that you are a general of Anhui. It is Duan Qirui's confidant. But I ask you, who are you going to listen to when you come to Europe? ”

That Ma Liang Ma Zizhen was already very sick, how could he still reply, his voice was hoarse, so he had to look at him weakly.

Wang Maoru said angrily: "Eh, mom, don't answer yet, you have a temper." Then he turned around and instructed his subordinates: "Deng Zichao, send a squad of people to guard General Ma Zizhen here." Then he said to the adjutant, "You, come with me back and put the troops in order." We returned to the Bolzano front. ”

The adjutant insisted, "But we can't throw the division commander ......."

Seeing that he was loyally protecting, it was difficult to move, Wang Maoru squinted his eyes, Deng Zichao pulled out his bayonet, and directly stabbed the adjutant to the heart. Ma Zizhen was frightened, and Wang Maoru said, "Ma Zizhen, what do you want to say?" Do you want to recuperate here? Ma Liang Ma Zizhen had no choice but to nod, Wang Maoru sneered: "You, it's best to stay in the hospital and don't go out, you know?" Ma Zizhen nodded violently, and then stretched out her eyes and legs, and was actually scared to death.

Adjutant Ma Liang immediately took out a wad of money and stuffed it into the hands of the Italian doctor, and said with a smile in English: "This man died of malaria. It's so unfortunate, you say yes? ”

The Italian doctor nodded violently and said, "Yes, yes, as soon as he got off the ship, he got malaria and died—no, he died of malaria on the ship, and it was his lieutenant who deceived everyone and concealed his condition." ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Lovely Italian." ”

Seven years of the Republic of China. On June 13, 1918, the second division of the Chinese army had just arrived in Italy, due to malaria, more than 300 soldiers and some officers and division commander Ma Liang unfortunately died, and Xu Shuzheng, a general of the Anhui department who was far away in China, learned the news. I was so angry that I couldn't breathe all night, and I was. Wang Maoru, you are too dark-hearted.

In order to coordinate and facilitate management, Wang Maoru was promoted to Xue Xinghua of the Fourth Brigade of the Fourth Division of the Northeast Frontier Army as the chief of staff of the Fourth Division, Du Baosan, commander of the Sixth Brigade of the Fourth Division, as the commander of the Second Division of the participating army, Chen Baowu, commander of the 14th Brigade of the Fourth Division, as the chief of staff of the Second Division, Kang Dongsheng as the commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Fourth Division, Wei Binhong as the commander of the Sixth Brigade, Wu Jiangcheng as the commander of the 14th Brigade, Jiang Kaitong and Xizhong were transferred to serve as the commanders of the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the 2nd Division of the participating army, and the artillery battalion of the 2nd Division was merged into the artillery battalion of Wang Maoru's 4th Division. became the independent artillery regiment of the participating army, with Ai Qingyang as the head of the independent artillery regiment.

In a word, Xu Shuzheng's second division changed its name and surname as soon as it got off the ship, and was annexed by Wang Maoru, and 12,000 people suddenly became people.

Xu Shuzheng was so angry at home that he vomited blood, and his own training failed, so he rushed to Europe to participate in the war, and he boldly sent the second division that was only fully staffed, but he was picked persimmons, how could Xu Shuzheng not vomit blood. Wang Maoru sent a telegram saying that Ma Liang, the commander of the Second Division, had died of illness, and the doctors sent by the coalition forces also confirmed that Ma Liang and other officers were suffering from malaria, and Ma Liang became the first Chinese general to die in Europe - malaria plus fright.

After the annexation of the Second Division of the Participating Army, Wang Maoru was very happy, but the combat army wore an earthy yellow military uniform and Wang Maoru's black military uniform was not coordinated. The military uniform is unified, but the smell is too bad after printing and dyeing, fortunately, the coalition forces have military uniforms and other logistics equipment for the squadron to transport, okay, interception, leather shoes and socks and vest pants.

The coalition army complained again, the squadron was too much, and none of them were sufficient, and it was not as good as those laborers to let them be responsible for logistics and transportation. The laborers who went to Europe were very kind to the squadron, and some labor representatives approached the army, hoping that the army would take care of it.

The Chinese laborers in Europe were the hardest people in World War I, and China sent 200,000 peasant laborers from the north into Europe to repair roads, barracks, dig trenches, load and unload ammunition, care for the wounded, bury corpses, work in arsenals, and sometimes have to carry guns to fight. Chinese laborers captured by the Germans were also denied prisoner of war treatment, and many were forced to do extremely heavy physical work, eventually dying of exhaustion in the trenches. During the First World War, the agreement between China and the Entente countries was that Chinese laborers would not go to the front, but after the Chinese workers arrived in Europe, these European generals ignored these agreements and sent Chinese laborers to the most dangerous fronts.

Since China's dispatch of old laborers to the war was an agreement between the Beiyang government and the Entente countries, and because the Beiyang government was extremely unfavorable under the guidance of the May Fourth Movement, no one among the people studied this humiliating experience, and in later generations, no one from the Kuomintang government or a certain party government studied this aspect, and foreigners were not interested in studying the affairs of Chinese laborers, so the issue of 200,000 Chinese laborers was finally forgotten like sand sinking into the sea. In the end, the matter of World War I laborers that was mentioned was actually a certain movie starring in an action movie starring a certain actor surnamed Zhen, and scholars did not study it, but studied the drama, which cannot but be said to be a satire of Chinese history.

There is no record of Chinese laborers in Italy, who were not many and were scattered to the fronts, and then lived in Italy, where their descendants were gradually assimilated and became Europeans. Many Italians today also have Chinese roots, but they don't know that their ancestors were Chinese laborers, so many Europeans in Italy are also black-eyed and black-haired.

However, the arrival of the army led by Wang Maoru, the Chinese warring army, gave these Italian Chinese laborers great confidence, and they spontaneously sent representatives to find the squadron, hoping to get the protection of the squadron. Wang Maoru naturally took good care of these fellow villagers, there were not many Chinese laborers in Italy, only more than 5,000 people, Wang Maoru formed ten battalions for them, becoming one to ten supplementary battalions, part of the first squadron, and buying black military uniforms with Italian businessmen, in order to adapt to the humid and hot environment of the Mediterranean, the whole army replaced black berets. The Great Cap is no longer used, and is only used in military ceremonies. This black beret is to be worn diagonally, so it looks like the soldiers are hanging up, and they are very disliked by these squadrons who attach great importance to military appearance.

However, since it was designed and hand-picked by Deputy Commander Wang Maoru himself, everyone must use it even if they are dissatisfied, but fortunately, this thing is extremely simple to produce, and it is made of canvas, so there is no need for too complicated procedures from craftsmanship to materials. The production of 50,000 black berets has provided great employment opportunities for Italians, for which the Italian Udine region also awarded Wang Maoru the Honorary Citizen Medal in recognition of Wang Maoru's contribution to the local area.

Wang Mao was praised, but the people of the coalition army didn't dare, this squadron was too capable of making trouble, and it was not good to do business, but it was crooked.

The Chinese soldiers under Wang Maoru were already rich, and after these trucks of oil were used to transport baggage, and after doing business with the local lively Italians, they were even richer. Moreover, the Chinese laborers in Italy also joined the squadron and became a supplementary battalion, and after they learned badly, they began to learn to withhold military supplies. This Wang Maoru was originally ostracized at the command level of the coalition forces, but now it is better, and he is even more looked down upon.

Seeing the Chinese soldiers in the rear holding beautiful Italian girls one by one, distributing candy to the Italian children in their hands, and some of them had not been fought, but they captured the hearts of the local girls and caused more coalition troops to be unhappy. We are still fighting on the front line, missing arms and short legs, and as soon as we return to the rear, well, the Chinese, who have always been looked down upon, are showing off their power with blonde beauties in their arms around the Mediterranean. Under the guidance of Wang Maoru, the army was strictly required to unite, and once a brawl broke out, compatriots who did not support them immediately returned to the barracks to be severely beaten.

In order to prevent the Chinese troops from making trouble, the commanders of the coalition forces unanimously decided to send the squadron to part of the defense line in the Alpine region on the border of Switzerland, Italy and Austria-Hungary. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )rv
