Ma Xianglin listened to the crunching sound of car tires on the gravel road.
He looked like he was thinking.
Chief of Staff Su Cheng did not disturb Ma Xianglin's thinking.
He believed that Commander Ma Xianglin would make the choice that best served his interests.
This group of people seeks a win-win situation.
Through the alliance of interests, they win over key figures and make choices that are in line with their group interests and their personal choices.
Only through win-win cooperation can we continue to cooperate for a long time.
For example, for people with Ma Xianglin's status, once they feel that the benefits of cooperating with them far outweigh the risks.
These smart people stay away from them, resulting in nothing being accomplished.
When Su Cheng discussed with him, Ma Xianglin considered what he should do.
He pretended to have thought it over carefully, just to increase his bargaining chip and leave himself a way out.
Ma Xianglin said in a serious tone: "You can try using the servant army, and the 19th Army can send a small number of personnel to assist.
The 19th Army will never be allowed to leave the Caucasus and launch a private attack on the Ottoman Turkish Empire without orders from His Majesty and the Governor-General."
Chief of Staff Su Cheng responded seriously: "Commander Ma knows very well what our purpose is.
It is for the development of the Royal Army so that the Army will no longer be suppressed by the Navy.
An army of millions has been suppressed by a navy of hundreds of thousands for so many years. Who among the knowledgeable people in the army is not anxious about this situation?
If this continues, the Royal Army will surely decline.
Our aim is to recover the Royal Army from its decline.
Your Majesty found that the army was disobedient and showed signs of overcoming the superior.
How could His Majesty allocate resources to the Army?
We just want to set the stage for the Army to perform, not to make the Army a joke."
After Ma Xianglin heard Su Cheng's promise, he felt completely relieved.
From a purely profit perspective, only if the army develops well can people like them gain more.
"I agreed to this matter, and I will give the servant army a chance to attack the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
But how will the servant army perform when they go to the battlefield alone? No one can guarantee it."
When Su Cheng heard Ma Xianglin agreed, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
The empire's military system has three chief officers managing various affairs.
As the chief of staff and the commander of the army, he can jointly make military decisions.
The other chief officer is mainly responsible for non-military tasks, such as the payment of military pay, the arrangement of military logistics, and the coordination between the military and local governments.
Among them, the army commander has the overall responsibility, and he has the greatest power. When it comes to the decision-making of the 19th Army, Ma Xianglin cannot be bypassed.
Chief of Staff Su Cheng said in a relaxed tone: "Whether the servant army fights well or poorly, it will not affect the subsequent strategy.
We discussed before that the servant army did not fight well. Ottoman Turkey would never be able to withstand the provocation of the Armenians.
The Ottomans claim to be descendants of the Turks. The cornerstone of their rule over this huge country is the noble blood of the Turks.
Once they are defeated by the Armenians, many foreign ethnic groups in the country will rise up and Ottoman Turkey will fall apart.
The people at the bottom may survive, but none of the princes and nobles above can escape.
In order to avoid this situation, the Ottoman Turkey will definitely attack the servant army crazily and completely eliminate this servant army.
After the servant army has been trained by us, he can really defeat the Ottoman Turkish army and rescue his compatriots.
This is a better achievement for us.
The Armenian region is included in the above list. This is a major event for all nations to come to Korea and expand their territory.
The 19th Army then entered the Armenian region in the name of protecting new territory, which was equivalent to the 19th Army expanding its sphere of influence.
The Ottoman Turks would not tolerate their territory being easily occupied by the empire, and they would naturally start a war.
No matter whether the servant army wins or loses, as long as they dare to attack the Ottoman Turkish army.
Our strategy will definitely work."
After hearing this, Ma Xianglin couldn't help but admired: "This is a conspiracy! What a wonderful plan."
Su Cheng waved his hand and said: "This is not a conspiracy. A real conspiracy is impeccable.
Once my strategy is known to the enemy, there are many ways to defeat it.
This can only be regarded as a strategy tailor-made for Ottoman Turkey."
The two of them have a common goal and have regained their former harmony.
In response to this plan, they formulated plans based on different situations.
The 19th Army was well prepared. The worst outcome would be to defend the Caucasus region and achieve nothing.
Even if the worst outcome occurs, the 19th Army will not be harmed.
…………………………
At the outpost camp of the 19th Army, Staff Officer Wang Wei took the order from the Chief of Staff to the servant army camp next to the military camp.
He heard the command of one, two, three, four coming from the camp.
The slave army is training the tactics of queuing to kill under the guidance of veterans of the 19th Army.
The tactic of queuing to kill, a tactic that has long since been eliminated by the empire, is understood only by seniors in the imperial army.
Even if today's recruits have heard of the tactic of queuing to kill, their experience is not as clear as the veterans who have been tempered in life and death.
Wang Wei looked at the servant army, they were training meticulously.
The 19th Army selected flintlock muskets and black powder for the servants and taught them the tactics of lining up to kill.
The main reason is that teaching in this way is both safe and easy to control.
Once these people have thoughts of betrayal, they will learn that lining up in front of a machine gun is useless.
This dense formation will even make it easier for machine gun harvesting.
Staff Officer Wang Wei believed that the servant army, which had seen the strength of the Imperial Royal Army, had absolutely no thoughts of rebellion in their hearts.
He approached the servant army's camp without disturbing the servant army who were training.
Go directly to the general's camp of the servant army.
As soon as Staff Officer Wang Wei arrived outside the door, a man of short stature appeared dwarfed in front of Staff Officer Wang Wei.
He is a middle-aged man with dark hair and eyes, a tall and prominent nose, and a very recognizable face.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "General Harveydo, Commander Ma and Chief of Staff Su, have important tasks for you."
"Commander Wang, please don't call me Harvey Duo. I have my own Chinese name. My name is Ma Zhonghua."
General Ma Zhonghua immediately reminded that his name was extremely important, which was equivalent to his own tendency.
He had followed the 19th Army for several years and had already figured out the temperament of these Han people.
Ma Zhonghua was not the first general of the servant army. His predecessors made the same mistake.
When they led troops to defeat the Ottomans, they felt that they were powerful and a little arrogant.
They wanted to break away from the empire and stand on their own. Without exception, these people either committed suicide or died of illness.
Ma Zhonghua knew very well that he could survive better only by relying closely on the empire.
Only then can he have the opportunity to save his compatriots so that they don't have to live in fear every day.
Ma Zhonghua held a cup of tea and said humbly: "Counsel Wang, please drink tea. Thank you for your hard work.
What orders do the two adults in the army have?"
He was already short in stature, so he bowed down and looked even more humble.
Wang Wei was not polite when it came to fucking cats. He sat at the top and drank a cup of Ma Zhonghua's calming tea.
He put down the tea cup and said condescendingly: "This time I have brought extremely important military orders from Commander Ma and Chief of Staff Su, and invited Instructor Tian Qing in."
Ma Zhonghua has nothing to do here, and Tian Qing is training the servant army outside. From this, we can see that the person who really holds the power of the servant army is Tian Qing.
Ma Zhonghua was just the link between the 19th Army and the servant army to facilitate communication.
As long as they are highly respected people, they can serve as a link.
This is why the 19th Army discovered that there was a problem with the servant army, especially the general of the servant army, and immediately chose to replace it with a new general of the servant army.
Ma Zhonghua accepted the mission and immediately asked his confidants to inform Instructor Tian.
Staff Officer Wang Wei waited for a while and saw a carefree, strong man pushing the door open and walking in from the outside.
Instructor Tian Qing used his unique loud voice and said with a smile: "Consultant Wang Wei, you are really my lucky star. Every time I see you, you can take these little brats out to see meat.
If something good happens this time, please tell me quickly and make me happy."
Staff officer Wang Wei smiled and said: "Tian Qing, you are really a war madman, but you guessed it right this time."
He immediately took out the official letter issued by the 19th Army.
After Tian Qing read it, he said with excitement: "There is no problem with the fighting ability of the servant army. They have not been trained well before, and they did not fall behind in the battle with the Ottoman Turkish army.
Now that the training of six thousand servants has been completed, and with the support provided by the 19th Army, the servants will definitely be able to fight a good battle."
After Ma Zhonghua read it, he burst into tears and said: "On behalf of the Armenians, I am grateful for the empire's support.
Our servant army now has the ability and the support of the empire to rescue our compatriots who are oppressed by the Ottoman Turks.
We Armenians are too weak and can only rely on the empire, hoping that the empire will accept us."
Wang Wei looked at Ma Zhonghua. This new general of the servant army was a general who would assess the situation.
When he just expressed his loyalty, he also stated that if he really conquered Armenia, they would also surrender to the empire.
Staff officer Wang Wei saw that Tian Qing had no reaction at all. He admired this man's determination.
After conveying the order, he took a sip of tea, then stood up and said: "This is a task that belongs exclusively to your servant army.
If your servant army does not affect the current situation, it will be difficult for our 19th Army to have a chance to take action.
Everything in the early stage relies on the ability of the servant army, I hope you can save your compatriots."
After Staff Officer Wang Wei finished speaking, he chose to leave the servant army camp and go to the camp next door.
The servant army camp immediately became busy and tense after General Wang Wei left.
The servants lined up on the playground. They looked confused and didn't know what was going on.
Ma Zhonghua stood in front of the microphone and shouted: "Brothers, the commander of the 19th Army has recognized the results of our recent training.
We were eating white-flour steamed buns in the military camp, and our relatives and friends couldn't even afford the bran.
We lived with dignity in the military camp, but our relatives and friends were always facing the slaughter of the Ottomans.
Every day we live such a good life, we are suffering in our hearts.
From today on, we don’t have to suffer anymore.
The commander decided to let us take back our homeland in person.
Our compatriots are still being oppressed by the Ottomans. We have been training hard during this period just to defeat the Ottomans.
I will lead you to formal war with the Ottomans, I will lead you to victory, and I will lead you to drive the Ottomans out of Armenia."
The Caucasus region borders Armenia, and most of the servants are Armenians.
When they heard the news, everyone was very excited.
They shouted slogans to defeat the Ottomans and return to their homeland.
Instructor Tian Qing watched the performance of the servant army from the sidelines. In this situation, the military morale is completely at its disposal.
As long as the servant army does not experience huge defeats, they will have high morale.
The servant army is ready to go to the front line.
The 19th Army provided them with material and personnel support before the war.
Tian Qing looked at ten artillery pieces and twenty machine guns.
The most important thing is that the artillery and machine gunners move with the army, and the servant army will not operate these big guys.
Looking at these heavy weapons, he was extremely excited and became more confident about the future war.
With these powerful weapons, even if the slave army was besieged by the Ottomans, he would have the confidence to lead the slave army back to the Caucasus.
Ma Zhonghua, however, focused on the large amount of supplies brought to the camp by car.
Materials, including weapons, ammunition and food, were stacked in the camp.
He looked at these supplies and realized that this was the basis for launching a war.
If there is no ammunition and food, the enemy's walls are fortified and the country is clear, the army will collapse without the enemy attacking.
Ma Zhonghua sent people to receive these supplies, took out some canned meat, and conducted pre-war mobilization.
They ate delicious food and sang songs from their hometown, and many of them shed tears.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the same time, distribute firearms and bullets used in the war to everyone.
The servant army made preparations for the war. Early on the next morning, they officially left the camp of the 19th Army and launched an attack on the Ottoman camp.
Instructor Tian Qing saw the servant army and calmly attacked the Ottoman camp.
He still remembered that the first batch of servants he trained attacked a small number of enemies with several times the force, and they all fled in fear.
Now these servant armies have been selected by war. They cannot compare with elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles, but they have all adapted to the environment on the battlefield.
Ma Zhonghua saw the servant army attacking with several times the number of the enemy. Many people either fired in advance or were too scared to even fire.
He took one look at the captured Ottomans and immediately ordered his bloodless servants to use these prisoners to practice their courage.
He also ordered the servant army to take no prisoners, and they would repay the Ottomans a thousand times what they had done to them before.
Servant troops were constantly raiding Ottoman outposts in the border areas.
They usually attack with several times the enemy's strength, and have more flintlocks than the enemy.
Ma Zhonghua's reputation was immediately spread, and the news of the Armenians' return had reached the ears of the local governor.
When Governor Seri heard the news, he was furious.
“You are a bunch of trash, you have occupied the Caucasus region before, but you lost your troops and generals, and were blocked from the Caucasus region by the Great China Empire.
These Han people have not left us any way to survive. They have already captured Greece and Egypt in the west and invaded Constantinople.
Now they want to attack our country from the northeast. As an important minister of the empire, I must not let the Han people's plan succeed."
Governor Serin had his own little idea. If he couldn't defeat the Han people, why couldn't he defeat the weak Armenians?
