Chapter 1 Entering Egypt (16)
Four destroyers searched on the Suez Canal, which was obviously not enough. However, there was still a small section of the Mediterranean that had not been cleared, mainly the Ismailia section. In the past few years, Xu Bin organized local civilians and made it almost the same.↖ Various industrial products transported from China were traded in Suez, and the profits were basically the cost of garrison and the inviting civilians to work.
The battleships are too large. Although the Suez Canal and aircraft carriers can run in later generations, China's industrial development cannot support it. Although it develops very quickly, Guangdong and Guangxi currently do not have the industrial foundation of developed countries in Europe and the United States in the 19th century. It is too risky and difficult to allow battleships to enter.
However, the scale of six deportations was enough. Ding Yi was originally planning to send out four cruisers with double-deck gun decks. But Huang Xiaoyang followed the destroyer back for two days and dissuaded Ding Yi: "Brother No, don't fight! Unless you really make the steam engine you are talking about, you don't have to say anything, the cruiser must not enter! Once the wind changes, it will immediately turn into a dead fish, and become a fleet and put a few fire boats, and you will all be on the street!"
After the sailing team made improvements proposed by Ding Yi, the efficiency of wind cutting has greatly increased, but the cruiser is too big, with thousands of tons. Once it is not a good wind, it will be really difficult to move and it is not convenient to turn around.
Ding Yi was very obeyed in professional matters and listened to professional opinions. According to Huang Xiaoyang's proposal, he used ten destroyers to carry a battalion of marines. He set up multiple observation points on both sides of the straits in the direction of Jerusalem, and used fireworks, mirror reflection and other means to convey information.
"You have to get the walkie-talkie out." Although it has been ten years since this era, Ding Yi is still very unaccustomed to the current communication conditions.
However, he had no time to deal with this matter. Otherwise, he would have noticed Du Mu, the industrial director of the Sihai Grand Governor's Office. Yes, it was Du Mu, who liked to hook up with his young wife. Li Jiangtou, who was complaining about the letters in Luzon, wasting all kinds of raw materials and fiddling with the cable telegraph machine.
"Rong Yi Brigade, how is the status of Rong Yi Brigade?" Ding Yixiang asked Liu Tie and Wan'an. Because Wang Yue did not come, Ding Yi transformed these two troops to Liu Tie and Wan'an. And he was stationed in the Suez land war camp and naturally returned to build the Mediterranean fleet; the two black regiments and two Egyptian regiments were pulled into the police corps under Admiral Li Bing.
Wan An bowed and said, "There are hundreds of people who ask for battle just by biting their fingers and writing a blood letter to ask for battle. But after all, they are passing by for such a long time. The disciples thought it would be better to settle for a few days before making a dispatch." Liu Tie also agreed beside him.
Ding thought about it and asked them to settle down first. However, as soon as Wan'an and Liu Tie retreated, Xu Bin began to swear.
At this time, Suez was outside the city, and there were barracks, a large area of barracks. It looked like a few small city-states.
Xu Bin really had a headache. He couldn't stand it. He said directly to Ding Yi: "Ru Jin said that I wanted me to build a canal, but he didn't say that I wanted to teach me to serve as the head of the Ministry of Revenue in the Great Governor of the Four Seas! The Rong 1 Brigade 6,000; the Rong 2 Brigade 6,000; the Marine Corps just fell. Huang was still disgusting and kind, and knew my hardships. He said that the fleet would protect the logistics by itself; the Police Corps had more than 10,000 people! As soon as the fleet came out, nearly 30,000 more mouths! Where did I have so much food to supply?"
In fact, the old man was not angry here. He had accumulated a lot of food in the construction of the canal. Such a large project, the civil servants naturally had tens of thousands of people. It was not impossible to support the military supplies in a short period of time. He was extremely annoyed: "It's fine for the police corps, just have to take care of the food. Rong Yi Brigade 1 and Rong Yi Brigade 2, each of them regarded themselves as the chief minister of the current dynasty? The military officials came to find my staff and asked for meat! Eggs! Milk! Fish!"
Xu Bin was so angry that his beard was trembling, and he didn't care about being decent. He pointed at Ding Yi and squirted: "I'm here to settle the score with me, saying that there are six people at a table, there must be a fish at noon, a fish or a chicken at dinner, and a plate of elbows. If there is no pork here, even a plate of roasted sheep ribs or half a leg of lamb! Then there are six thousand soldiers in the division, about one thousand tables. Every day, I have to take care of each trip, except for rice and flour, each trip has to send two thousand fish, five hundred lamb legs, six thousand eggs, and one hundred and eighty barrels of milk! What vegetables are there!"
"Is it a soldier or a young master!"
"If you spoil them, you will teach others to cultivate this canal, and I will also go to Rongyi Brigade to serve in the army! I have been working hard for ten years and have been doing what I should eat and enjoy it today. Although I have eaten and enjoyed it, my daily expenses are not as good as them! I can't afford to serve these two Brigades!"
The old-style scholars and officials were deeply rooted in discrimination against military soldiers.
According to Cao Jixiang, the military general asked the military households to do their jobs. The mean military general not only did not pay the wages, but also had to bring the meals themselves. When leaving, he gave the military households half a bun to carry back. That's it.
It is another matter whether you can serve or not. The main reason is that Xu Bin thinks it is too absurd. He also needs this and that, and it is not enough to pay attention to it.
Ding Yi had no choice but to comfort the old man with a good voice.
But comfort is useless. Xu Bin is really determined to supply Rong 1 Brigade and Rong 2 Brigade according to the logistics standards of the police corps! Will the military department give money according to the order? It is not a matter of money. He can't swallow it in one breath. He is a bad soldier and is not a matter of necessity. This old scholar and doctor can't be distorted.
Who can Xu Bin do this work? Will he rob Suez of the city? How many days can he eat? After eating, he will go back to China? Will he fight the war? Xu Bin can support the operation of tens of thousands or even sometimes 100,000 people in Suez for several years. This level is not a joke. It is definitely not something that a contractor with thirty or fifty people can do it. Without this old man, let alone, it is really too late.
"The military households in the garrison are still the new military households?" Ding Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and reason with the old man.
Xu Bin laughed as he heard this: "As Jin did not hear what Taizu said back then? Raising a million soldiers is not enough to spend a grain of rice for the people!"
"Since Taizu, the army that followed Taizu to fight the world, how powerful is the military force?" Ding Yi did not go to refute the advantages and disadvantages of the military system with him. There is no need to refute this. China is promoting constitutionalism. If it is successful, the military will be eliminated first. Even the Chinese scholars and officials have seen this as a cancer. If war cannot be fought, the military farm cannot be paid. People are not civilians, and military is not military.
Otherwise, after the regiment camp, even in the original history, the soldiers recruited were basically used to fight, and the garrison station would be the most guarding the city?
Especially after Ding Yi was born, the combat power of the new army further reflected the uselessness of the military army. The court bosses could not bear it. If the constitutional constitution could succeed, the first thing to do was to use the military office. It is said that Wang Yanshan proposed to directly allocate the military households to the Sihai Grand Governor's Office and move them overseas, and not to remove the military office. What happened to these military households in China? Anyway, Ding could manage the military, so he would give Ding a headache. Even if he couldn't handle it, he would be lucky to have a life and die overseas and not have to cause trouble to China.
So when Ding asked about the combat power of the Wei Station, Xu Bin shook his head: "Why should Jin ask clearly? They are not worthy of use!"
"What is the combat power of the new army?" Ding Yi asked again and again.
"Hmph! Only you can fight!" Xu Bin answered angrily, meaning that the new army can fight this point, which is worth mentioning.
Ding Yi helped the old man sit down and smiled and said, "How loyal? Someone is stealing guns, ammunition, and bedding, just like military soldiers in the garrison or recruiting soldiers? Mr. Yanghao, you are not unaware of the garrison. As long as you are willing to pay, you can get rid of hundreds of tigers together!"
Xu Bin's face finally looked a little better, but he still snorted coldly: "Each component on the gun has a code, and the bullet is also printed on it. Whoever takes it or can't pay it is a death sentence. Who dares to take this risk? Besides, how much salary did Ru Jin give them? Don't think I don't know! When I go to sea, I will receive four salary!"
"It is rumored that Taizu once asked, who is the happiest in the world? All the ministers answered were unsatisfactory, but Wan Gang replied: Those who fear the law will be happy." Ding Yi poured a cup of tea for the old man himself, and gave it to him, "Only you have enough food can you be strict in your laws. Today, according to the rules and regulations, you will naturally know in your heart that if you violate the law in the future, you will not be spared according to the rules and regulations! Therefore, the order is prohibited!"
Xu Bin was not so angry at all and nodded slightly, agreeing with the logic Ding Yi said, but he still said: "It's okay to fish, what about eggs or milk? This place is not a grassland or China, so where can I raise it?"
This was the truth. Ding Yi gave in and said that he had gone to the army to tell the soldiers, seeing if he would return some food expenses or how to deal with it. Finally, he persuaded Xu Bin and did not make any more trouble.
"Fuck, I have soldiers, strong soldiers! The world is strong soldiers! The ships are strong and cannons are powerful! How can I be so frustrated?" Ding Yi couldn't help but complain to himself after everyone retreated, but he also knew that it was not that simple for the army to be dispatched and coordination between all parties was not that simple. The so-called feather fan and the scarpment were destroyed by laughter. Just have a fantasy. If you take it seriously, it would be a way to kill him.
However, Liu Tie reported that the correspondent soldier rushed in, but submitted a military newspaper to Ding Yi.
It would be fine if I didn't look at it, but when I opened it, Ding Yi was really scared.
Because Wang Yue used the Rong 3rd Brigade to station in Mugudushu, led the Rong 1st Division and its direct troops to command three reorganized black divisions to set out under Mugudushu, and pointed directly at the Fenji settlements and the countries established by the Fur people, intending to open up the passage between Mugudushu and Suez directly from land, that is, to penetrate the modern Sudan Republic. Not to mention how barren there is, in modern society, they are all called the least developed areas in the world, and there are also deserts!
However, Wang Yue's words in the military newspaper made Ding Yi recognize his actions and did not immediately send the Clippers to stop this extremely crazy behavior. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
