Chapter 283: Just a battleship, easy to handle! (First update!) The hair style of banknotes is not something that can be achieved overnight, and there are many things that need to be discussed. But leaving these matters to Hou Xifan to solve, Cun Yunsheng can relieve a lot of pressure. At the same time, Cun Yunsheng also felt a little lucky that Hou Xifan had joined. Without him, I'm afraid it will take some time for these things to be implemented. No! Even at that time, it was too big to lose, and it was not that easy to implement it. Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng sighed softly, picked up the document again and started to review it. Before the results were approved, Meng Fanxiao walked in again. Before he could speak, he saw Cun Yunsheng rubbing his head. "What's the matter? Isn't the immigration issue left to Lin Yi?"

"There is no need to persuade me about the banknotes. The suggestions put forward by Mr. Hou Xifan are generally good." Cun Yunsheng thought that Meng Fan wanted to persuade him about the banknotes, so he blocked the way in advance. "No, here we go again." Meng Fan was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile. For him, the issuance of banknotes did not have much impact. The monthly military pay and the land allocated to him were enough for him to live a good life. Moreover, the Meng family is an heir of poetry and calligraphy and does not understand farming at all. Therefore, all the fields assigned to him will be handed over to the so-called farm companies, and he will just wait to receive dividends. "William? He's here again? What's going on?" Cun Yunsheng asked doubtfully. "I don't know about that, but he seems to be very anxious. There must be something urgent." Meng Fan shook his head and spread his hands to express his helplessness. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng fell into deep thought, but still waved to him to invite the people in. Both parties are old friends, so there is not so much complicated understanding. After a brief greeting, Cun Yunsheng asked directly. "Mr. William, what are you doing this time? Do you need any other information?" "As far as I know, your country's performance during this period is still very good. In the North African battlefield, the Allied forces were defeated steadily and even retreated to Port Said. I believe that under the leadership of the Desert Fox, you will definitely be able to achieve victory. Victory in Port Said.” This compliment made the anxious expression on William's face relax a lot. Yes! The performance of the North African Corps was indeed good. Surrounded Port Said, making the Allies anxious. Even hundreds of battleships were assembled, including five battleships.

Such a terrifying number of fleets really frightened the navies of the four countries. For this reason, the navies of the four countries are shelling the island of Malta again. So far, the offensive on the island of Malta is pretty good. The port was basically destroyed, and the military and civilians on the island had no hope of relying on external supplies. Next, as long as the island of Malta is trapped, it can be completely captured. By then, the four navies, with no worries, will be able to engage in a decisive battle with the Allied main fleet. However, the parachute operation did not go smoothly. Or rather, a complete mess. After a **** battle, the airport was indeed captured, but before the British troops withdrew from the airport, they detonated the fighter planes that had not taken off on the runway. As a result, thick smoke billowed over the entire airport and the runway was damaged. Therefore, the transport plane's plan to land was completely in vain. For this reason, General Stuart was furious. But there is no way, the matter has come to this, we can only continue to airborne. It's just that the casualties were too great, which made General Stuart feel helpless. Unexpectedly, the British army could come up with such a method in such a short period of time. Not only that, the British army also sent reinforcements to attack the airport, with the purpose of wiping out the defenders of the airport. However, there was still a problem on the way to support, that is, they encountered German paratroopers supporting the airport. The British commander is not a fool, and naturally knows that if these reinforcements cannot be annihilated. For this reason, fighting broke out again between the two sides. This time the British commander also knew that if these German troops were not eliminated, the island of Malta might be lost. Therefore, the battle between the two sides was extremely fierce. It can be said that if you can't stop the other party. So it’s not certain who will win on the island of Malta. Both sides are running towards this idea. So when it comes to fighting, it's really like beating him to death. At the same time, the British army once again saw the strength of the German army. The weapons gap between the two sides was not very big, but the British army failed to eliminate this small group of German troops. The same German army also suffered heavy losses, and the speed of parachute landing was very slow.

The main reason was that the Air Force transferred most of its forces to the Eastern Front. Therefore, the actions on the island of Malta were somewhat hasty. This was also the reason why Marshal Keitel objected. He is not opposed to the airborne landing on Malta Island, but believes that the current air force cannot mobilize more forces to support the operation on Malta Island, which will lead to the failure of the operation. At present, the failure of the operation on the island of Malta is inevitable. Even if they don't fail, they won't be able to capture the island of Malta in a short time. For this reason, after discussion, it was decided to transfer a division of troops from the North African Army, and the navies of the four countries would be responsible for transporting them. They would land at the port and capture the island of Malta. Something happened again. That is the British fleet on the canal. They have brought a group of natives from the Far East, no, or rather from the Southeast Asia, and are seizing the time to widen the canal. If there are only tens of thousands of people, wanting to widen the canal is basically a pipe dream. But in order to speed up efficiency, the first batch of British troops was 100,000 people. Basically, the entire battleship is full of indigenous people. The so-called comfort does not exist at all. The purpose is to ensure that more people are transported as quickly as possible. As for anyone getting sick? Cure? It doesn't exist! In the vast sea, just throw it into the sea to feed the sharks. For the current British army, the key is to dredge the canal as soon as possible and rescue Malta Island and Port Said. What indigenous lives? Not important at all. Anyway, if you don’t report it, no one will know about it. After all, this is just to widen a section of road, not to rebuild a canal, and it does not take long. If it's two hundred thousand, or even more. I'm afraid it can be done in a month. According to intelligence, the origin of these indigenous people is the countries in Indochina. The person who proposed sending so many indigenous people to the canal was Cun Yunsheng. For this reason, William made a special trip. What does this have to do with yourself?

Why do I propose to send so many people there? It was obviously a way that the British came up with themselves, using cheap natives to dredge the canal. According to his understanding, it seems that the loss is a bit large. It seems that the British army really does not regard the indigenous people as human beings. On the sea alone, the loss reached 10%. When the local environment was not acclimatized, another part was lost. The remaining people have to carry out high-intensity digging every day, but many people simply cannot stand it. Because tools are scarce, these natives can only rely on their hands to dig. As a result, their hands were ulcerated, and due to the soaking in sea water, more indigenous people could not bear it and died. During this period, Stilwell sent him several telegrams, asking him to find ways to recruit more indigenous people. I used to dislike too many people. Now I don’t dislike it at all, I even feel it’s not enough. The so-called three meals a day? dream! There are only two meals a day, and they are the simplest rice balls. It's just a little better than the Japanese army eating grass. After all, if the Japanese army really becomes ruthless, they will really eat grass. So during this period of time, Cun Yunsheng has been lamenting that in terms of black heart, it has to be the British army. If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it. Even if it could be done, it would definitely be done secretly. But people don't care, not to mention that the most important issue now is dredging the canal. Because Port Said and Malta Island really affect the Allied situation, if the canal cannot be dredged as soon as possible, once these two places are lost. The problems that arise then will be really big problems. This was also how Cun Yunsheng later understood the British army's intentions. In other words, this was the explanation Stilwell gave him. It's all about unclogging the canal. Otherwise, there will be no material support. There will be more places affected. It is based on this consideration that Cun Yunsheng will spare no effort to recruit indigenous people and let them go to the canal. "Did I propose it?" Cun Yunsheng looked at William in confusion and asked in disbelief.

"Isn't it?" William said angrily. He thought that after several transactions, the two parties were already friends. Who knew, it was hidden from him. This greedy guy turned his back on me without benefiting from him. "I'm sorry, Mr. William, your so-called proposal is really not my suggestion. It was the British army's own idea. After all, the canal was built by France back then, and they still have great experience in using indigenous people to build the canal." Cun Yunsheng used it. Looking at each other with mocking intent. Hearing this, William looked at the other person with a puzzled expression, could it really not be the other person? "You really didn't propose it?" "Of course, how could it be me who makes such a suggestion that harms others and does not benefit oneself? Mr. William, we have a saying in China called accumulating yin virtue. This kind of thing will damage yin virtue." Cun Yunsheng said seriously. Meng Fanglia next to him tried hard to hold back his laughter. Still accumulating evil virtue? If he remembered correctly. As a parent, my favorite saying is that a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist. Therefore, accumulating negative virtue is just a joke to him. William can only be regarded as a half-Chinese expert, which is roughly the same as their belief in God. If you don't pray sincerely, you will go to **** after death. Seeing this, William showed a kind smile on his face, and then said again. "Dear General Cun, we are friends, can you postpone the recruitment of those natives?" Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng sneered. "Is this what you call sincerity?" Although the situation did become more chaotic, the feeling of being out of his control made him unhappy. This time the other party actually had the nerve to say this, so Cun Yunsheng would not let go of the cynicism. "Sorry, I didn't have the right to make the decision last time, so I brought some compensation." William also knew that he was in the wrong, so he took out a list. The above are all old equipment, mainly machine tools. Originally they were still in the warehouse, but now they were taken out and handed over to Cun Yunsheng. Looking at the list above, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh. He was so generous and even gave me an old thousand-ton press. This means that as long as there are people, a thousand-ton warship can be produced. Looking at this list, Cun Yunsheng's anger disappeared without a trace in an instant, and then he said seriously.

"Well, for the sake of these things, I forgive you." "But regarding your proposal, I can't agree to it for the time being." "Because this is an order given by Stilwell, I must choose to complete the task." "This is your duty as a soldier." I have to say that when it comes to cheating, Cun Yunsheng is definitely top notch. Seeing the serious look on Cun Yunsheng's face, although William was a little unhappy, he still agreed with the other party's statement. "But, there is no other way." The next second, Cun Yunsheng's words made William's eyes light up again. "Dear General Cun, don't worry, we will give you a generous gift to ensure your satisfaction." William said hurriedly. "Don't you have a submarine force? You can pass through the Cape Strait and attack their transport ships. I believe this should be your specialty." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. Originally, William thought it would be a good idea? Who knows, this is it? When will the submarine force come around? I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold by then. What's more, the decisive battle in the Mediterranean is about to begin. So this plan is not mentioned yet. Looking at William's expression, Cun Yunsheng guessed that the other party must have thought of this method. If it was before, it can still be implemented. The purpose was naturally to intercept Allied merchant ships. "We have considered this plan, but there are no conditions for its implementation." William shook his head and said. Fortunately, Cun Yunsheng didn't panic. Considering the generous rewards, he would naturally help the other party find a solution. "Mr. William, don't panic. I have another way. I believe this way will definitely help you solve this problem." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. "You said that the reward is guaranteed to satisfy you." William asked eagerly. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng said lightly. "I have some connections in the Canaan area, and I have a good relationship with the indigenous people there. They are seeking independence recently. If you can support them, I believe they will be very happy to help you solve these little troubles." When he heard this, William was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party was even thousands of miles away? This is really amazing, right? "Use those natives to deal with the British army?" William said hesitantly. "Yes, the Eastern Mediterranean is now under your control. As long as you are willing to provide some help, I believe the natives will be happy to accept your proposal. What's more, now is the best time to deal with the British army and escape from the British army's control. , I believe the natives will definitely not refuse." Cun Yunsheng analyzed it thoroughly.

He also didn't expect that Li Si's previous layout could play an unexpected role now, which really surprised him. "If there are too many people, it will be useless. Those British troops have dozens of warships. Although they are trapped on the canal, the naval guns are not decorations." William said with some worry. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng curled his lips. Just a battleship. When these natives become so ferocious, they dare to attack even an aircraft carrier. Isn't it easy to handle a small battleship? Something is delayed! ​ ​ (End of chapter)
