Shanru walked into his tent with a sad face, put a telegram on the table, tapped it twice with his fingers, and motioned to the orc elders sitting in the tent drinking tea to take a look.
The orc elder walked over, lowered his head and looked at the content above, with a hint of surprise on his face, and then a smile on his face: "Okay! It seems that the emperor of mankind did not lie to us this time."
The message clearly states that the Tang Empire is willing to support the Orcs with another 100 Butcher fighter jets and 50 Yiner attack aircraft. It is also willing to provide the Orcs with 200 tons of aviation fuel and air cover support within its capabilities.
This is almost all the support that Shan Lu desires. In other words, the Tang Empire has fulfilled its promise and there has been no change in supporting the orcs' plan to occupy the island.
Moreover, this list is really very kind: in addition to 150 aircraft, the Tang Empire is also willing to directly transfer 50 155 mm caliber howitzers and 20 equipment directly from the 9th Group Army commanded by Feng Kezhi.
You must know that the 1st Armored Division of the Wild Bee self-propelled artillery is only equipped with 20 guns. Now that Tang is willing to provide 50 more vehicles, it is simply good news for the Ork troops who lack supporting firepower.
If necessary, the Tang Empire is willing to provide Shanlu with 50 rounds of Scud missiles, two warning radars, and 100 radio communication equipment.
The cable also stated that if the Orcs were willing to form a 2nd Armored Division, the Tang Empire was also willing to purchase a batch of No. 4 tanks from the Chu State and donate these tanks to the Orcs free of charge to support the Orcs in continuing their great battle for freedom.
In addition, there is a large amount of fuel, food, and ammunition. The entire list is exhaustive, including tents, toothbrushes, shoe mats, socks, pencils, erasers... and helmets, bayonets, and shovels. Of course, there are also cigarettes, candies, milk, etc.
The wartime subsidized supplies are all good things that the orcs have never seen before. More importantly, these things are free, transported thousands of miles from the Tang Empire to the island, and you can spend them as you like!
If the commanders of the Mirage Kingdom saw this list of supplies, they would definitely cry out: everything they dreamed of was written on this list of aid, including food, drink, and clothing.
This is almost equivalent to giving one more aid to the orcs! Double the experience, double the happiness.
Originally this was a good thing, so the orc elders were overjoyed. But in Shanru's view, the weight of this list was weighing on his shoulders, making him almost unable to breathe.
The weapons and equipment provided by the orcs of the Tang Empire before were almost these. Shanlu's plan was to directly use these materials to defeat the Mirage Kingdom.
But now it seems that his opponent, Mirage, is several times more powerful than he expected, and he owes the Tang Empire more and more.
Now the Tang Empire has given him twice as much supplies, but if the orcs don't perform well, will they still be unable to conquer the island?
"This quantity is almost the total amount of supplies given to us before." Shanlu reminded the other party with a sigh.
The orc elder was stunned again, and then seemed to react and looked at Shan Lu: "General! What do you mean, is it possible that humans will no longer provide assistance to us after giving this batch of supplies?"
"This is just one aspect of my worries." Shan Lu sighed and said, "I'm also worried about what we should do if Tang continues to give us aid."
"Others have given too much, and we can't afford to repay the favor... It's really disappointing." The orc elder also realized the crux of the problem, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.
It's like giving a bride price. At first, I asked the man's family for 100,000 yuan, and the other party gave it to him. But later it increased to 200,000 yuan, and the other party gave it to him... and now it has increased to 300,000 yuan, or even 1 million yuan. If the other party continues to give it, what will happen?
It was really difficult to handle.
If you can refuse the gift, or accept it without conscience and pretend to be stupid, then that's easy to do. The problem is that the other party is rich and powerful, so what should you do if you can't refuse?
People are willing to give you as much money as you want. The question now is, marrying your eldest daughter was obviously not enough in the past. Should you use your younger daughter to pay off the debt?
Shanlu and the others are now facing this problem: the Tang Empire is that ruthless man who has a lot of money and takes both black and white. They have already prepared millions and tens of millions in betrothal gifts... Will the "girls" in the orc family marry or not?
?
"Beauty?" The orc elder decided to marry her with the cheapest thing.
Shan Lu's face turned green: "Elder, several imperial concubines of the Tang Dynasty have already spoken out. If anyone offers beautiful women, they will have trouble getting along with them..."
The orc elder shrank his neck when he heard this. After thinking about it, he knew that a few imperial concubines of the Tang Empire could not deal with the lecherous Emperor, but it was very easy to deal with a few orc tribes.
"Ore?" As a last resort, he changed to a more painful bargaining chip. Selling a country's mineral deposits is overdrafting one's future national income. This business is obviously not that cost-effective.
"If the other party just wants a few mines, can we not give it to them?" Shanlu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Their "Orc Freeland" was nominally the territory of the Tang Empire, but it had a high degree of autonomy and the right not to participate.
It was just a war started by the Tang Empire.
To put it bluntly, they are a vassal state, nominally the territory of the Tang Empire. In fact, they play their own role within the framework of the Tang Empire, enjoy economic preferential treatment, and have no right to declare war diplomatically...
In this case, if the Tang Empire wanted a certain mine, it only needed to pay for it, or simply ask for it. No additional chips were needed.
"What else can I give?" The orc elder panicked. If he gave him something else, they wouldn't have to ask for the island. Wouldn't it be good to be a slave in the Tang Kingdom?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It is still within the control range now. If the Tang Empire is asked to give more things, it will be difficult to say." Shan Lu expressed his opinion.
.
He once met that kind and beautiful orc princess. Her Highness was really very kind and her voice was very nice.
Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine spoke for the orcs in the Forbidden Palace. His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire would give the orcs some preferential treatment.
However, the orc himself must work harder to win face for Her Royal Highness! If the orc himself has fallen and failed, it is useless to beg anyone.
Shanlu discussed this idea with the orc elders: "What we can rely on is the kindness of Her Royal Highness, the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor, and the compassion and a little bit of guilt given to us by the senior officials of the Tang Dynasty."
"They thanked us for the sacrifices we made in building the empire, and also thanked us for our efforts and diligence... If we fail, then the debt will no longer be owed to each other." After he finished speaking, he sighed heavily.
"I understand. What if, I mean if...we turn this war into a familiar style...and only ask the Tang Empire to give us the simplest help...how?" the orc elder asked Shanlu seriously.
, this was the first time he showed such a solemn look after leaving the Orc Empire.
Shanru frowned and asked, "What exactly is the familiar style you mentioned?"
The orc elder explained: "We only need ammunition and soldiers! Heavy weapons... we don't want any of them! We contact the orc empire and we only need soldiers! We only need strong men! We only need people! Just like when we attacked the Western Wall Fortress, we
Use people to pile it up! Even if it’s filled with corpses, it will fill up the goblin’s position!”
He said with a fierce expression: "If one hundred thousand is not enough, then two hundred thousand! If two hundred thousand is not enough, then three hundred thousand! As long as there are rifles and cannonballs! I don't believe it, we can't kill the goblins!"
…
"How can this work? Doesn't our shipping cost nothing? Doesn't our bullets and cannon shells cost nothing? There is no efficiency in fighting like this. It is a complete waste of transportation capacity." After hearing the orcs' ideas, Loew didn't care at all.
Agree with such a crazy idea.
"Labourers work honestly! They mix cement and carry bricks, and many people die every day. Letting these hungry coolies go to the front line is no different from sending them to death." Another general shook his head and said.
.
Qian Jinhang laughed, but it was just a wry smile: He had had similar thoughts in the Great China Empire before. Human life is the least valuable and the easiest power to obtain. Unfortunately, they never know the cost-effectiveness pursued by the Great Tang Empire.
Here, human life represents a much higher value than weapons and ammunition.
"Let them build bridges and pave roads within the empire, which is more useful than letting them go to the main island to die. The orcs' plan is a complete waste." Loew looked at the communications officer: "Call back to Shanlu, one hundred thousand young and fifty thousand strong
Beast mother! Change the weapons and equipment of five divisions!"
"Will the payment be less?" After hearing this quotation, some people thought that Marshal Loew was a bit stingy. That's 150,000 people! It's too pitiful for a city's population to exchange for such a small amount of supplies and equipment.
"Less? Believe it or not, after they get this price, their first thought is how much they can exchange for!" Qian Jinhang shook his head: "With the current market situation, except for our Datang Empire, which country would think that people are worth money?
?”
Sure enough, after receiving a call back from the Tang Empire, the orc elders and Shan Lu were dumbfounded: Is there such a good deal in the world? With 150,000 people, you can have the equipment of 5 divisions?
Originally, they planned to send these 150,000 people to the front line in exchange for hundreds of thousands of bullets from the enemy, but now... they have directly exchanged ten times and a hundred times the amount with the allies.
"This... Emperor Tang... is so benevolent and righteous." The orc elder couldn't help but sigh after holding it in for a long time.
