Chapter 246 Before the War with the Dwarf Locust Nation
The fact that they had to disarm during negotiations made the officers of the dwarf locust country feel provoked.
Before the officer of the Little Locust Kingdom could get angry, the officer of the Northern Army said in the Little Locust language: "Kumura-kun calm down, the division commander's mission is more important."
"Hmph." The officer from the Dwarf Locust Country snorted coldly, holding back his anger and not continuing to rage.
Then, led by the officers of the 101st Regiment, they came to the temporary command post of the 101st Regiment.
Wang Bin has just reported the matter of the envoys from the Dwarf Locust Country. Fang Guoxuan sent the division chief of staff to prepare to contact these people before making any further arrangements.
Soon the chief of staff arrived at the headquarters and met a group of people from the Dwarf Locust Kingdom.
The chief of staff introduced himself, "I am Shao Yunsheng, the chief of staff of the First Division of the Nanshan Army. I wonder what your name is and why you are here?"
The officer from the Dwarf Locust Kingdom spoke a lot in the Dwarf Locust language. Shao Yunsheng was completely confused and looked secretly at the officer wearing the Northern Army uniform.
The officer translated, "This is Lieutenant Colonel Taro Kimura, the staff officer of the Komoto Division."
"Lieutenant Colonel Kimura said that the Nanshan Army needs to release the mining rights to the Dwarf Locust Country and allow the Dwarf Locust Country to build a factory in Nanshan Province."
As soon as the officer finished speaking, Kimura Taro mumbled a lot more. The officer immediately wiped the cold sweat from his head and carefully translated:
"The lieutenant colonel heard that you have occupied Nanchuan, and you also need to open up Nanchuan's mineral resources so that they can trade, build factories, open mines, etc. in Nanchuan."
"At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the company and the mine, we need to allow the Dwarf Locust Nation to station troops in Nanshan and Nanchuan."
"The Dwarf Locust Nation has the right to manage the public security of Nanshan and Nanchuan, and a portion of the tax revenue from these two places should be used as a reward for the Dwarf Locust Nation."
After finishing the translation, the officer looked at Shao Yunsheng carefully, fearing that the other party would get angry and kill him.
There was no way. Even in his opinion, the demands of these small dwarf locust countries were a bit excessive. Moreover, the Nanshan Army had just defeated the North and South Armies and was in high spirits at the moment.
Shao Yunsheng shook his head slightly, the disdainful smile on his face never changing.
Originally, I came into contact with this group of dwarf locust people just to listen to what they would say, but I didn't expect that this was no longer a request. It was simply a daydream, and there was everything in the dream.
The Nanshan Army is not really afraid of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom. The other side is strong in its navy. Coincidentally, the Nanshan Army is not near the sea, so the Dwarf Locust Kingdom has no way to deal with them.
Moreover, the Nanshan Army was already prepared to go to war with the other side, and they would not agree even if the other side's demands were not excessive.
"fart."
Shao Yunsheng's face appeared calm, but the commander of the 101st Regiment seemed angry. He cursed loudly, took out his weapon and pointed it at the Northern Army officer.
After Wang Bin took out his weapon, the guards and soldiers around him loaded their submachine guns and pointed them at several people.
"idiot."
Kimura Taro also cursed and drew his samurai sword. The other five people and the officer all showed some fear on their faces.
Although the weapons of the seven people were confiscated, Taro Kimura's samurai sword was not taken away.
Shao Yunsheng waved his hand: "Captain Wang, put away your gun."
"Chief of Staff." Wang Bin wanted to say something, but when he met Shao Yunsheng's gaze, he had to put away his gun.
At Wang Bin's signal, the guards put down their guns but did not turn off the safety. Once these people made any move, they would definitely shoot at the first moment.
Shao Yunsheng glanced at Kimura Taro and the officer, sneered and said, "The Dwarf Locust Country has invaded our Nanshan Province. If they fail to withdraw from Nanshan Province before tomorrow, our army does not mind resorting to force."
After saying that, Shao Yunsheng turned and left, while Wang Bin looked at them and said coldly, "Show them away."
"Baga." The officer translated Shao Yunsheng's words to Kimura Taro, who felt annoyed again.
After sending the people from the Dwarf Locust Kingdom away, Wang Bin said to the regiment's chief of staff: "Tell the brothers to be more vigilant."
"Captain, are you worried?"
Wang Bin sneered: "It's better to be prepared."
Wang Bin had no good feelings towards these little dwarf locust people. During the previous dynasty, they took a large amount of property from the new country. The weakness of the previous dynasty did not mean that they were also weak and dared not resist.
Shao Yunsheng returned to the division headquarters and told Fang Guoxuan the exact demands of the Little Locust Kingdom.
"Commander, these little dwarf locust nations have evil ambitions, we must be on guard against them."
Obviously Shao Yunsheng was worried about Fang Guoxuan or Fang Jian, because the Nanshan Army had just ended a war and agreed to renegotiate with the Dwarf Locust Kingdom in order to recuperate.
Fang Guoxuan said with a smile: "The commander has already issued an order that if these little locust people are not obedient, they should be eliminated on the spot."
When Shao Yunsheng heard Fang Jian's order, he grinned. He liked this style very much.
Since July this year, the Nanshan Army has fought against 700,000 to 800,000 troops, and the Nanshan Army's reputation has spread. These little dwarf locusts are looking for death, and they must know how powerful they are.
Although Fang Jian gave the order, Fang Guoxuan still reported the demands made by the Dwarf Locust Kingdom.
Fang Jian’s reply was just one word: fight.
Taro Kimura returned to the base and reported the rudeness and arrogance of the Nanshan Army with exaggeration, which made Omoto Enshin very angry.
"idiot."
After letting out his temper, Xiao Benyuanxin said, "We will launch an attack on the Nanshan Army's position tomorrow. I will move into Nanling, the capital of Nanshan Province, within this month."
Wu Peisheng sneered at this. They thought that relying on the army of less than 30,000 soldiers of the small Locust Country, they wanted to attack Nanling, which the 400,000 soldiers of the North and South coalition had not been able to do. What else could this be but wishful thinking?
The small division has two brigades, an artillery regiment, a guard battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, a logistics battalion, a baggage battalion, etc., with a total of 28,000 people.
Each brigade has 9,800 people, including two regiments of 3,800 people, a guard battalion of 1,100 people, and 1,100 people for baggage, logistics, and engineering.
Hearing about the attack on Nanshan Army tomorrow, one of the two brigade commanders said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I hope that my unit will take the first credit tomorrow."
"Okay, Inoue-kun, I'll wait for your triumphant return tomorrow." Omoto Enshin said with satisfaction.
Another brigade commander on the side was a little unhappy. He was a step slow and the task of attacking the enemy was snatched away by the Inoue Brigade. How could he be happy?
In the opinion of the two brigade commanders, the combat effectiveness of the new people was low, and defeating them would be easy and not difficult at all.
After arranging the tasks, the people of the Little Locust felt that victory was in sight and began to celebrate, not taking tomorrow's battle seriously.
In Yanping City, Fang Guoxuan, Zhang Wei, Fang Tianming and Xie Yuan gathered together.
Fang Guoxuan introduced: "These little dwarf locust people are not comparable to the previous northern and southern armies. They are equipped with a large number of 105-caliber artillery and two 150-caliber heavy artillery."
Of course, Fang Guoxuan's expression was solemn, not because he was afraid of the dwarf locust country, but because he was worried about unnecessary casualties among the troops.
In the past, the Nanshan Army could bully others with its artillery advantage, but facing the small locust country, its artillery advantage was greatly reduced.
