"How is it?" The next morning, Li Xiu looked at Chen Laohu proudly.

"Second Master, these bastards drugged you too hard.

Two of them were directly drugged to death, and a few others woke up with mouths full of saliva flowing non-stop.

As for what they said... no one could understand."

"...!" Li Xiu was stunned and said nothing.

A very good strategy, but it actually had such an effect.

This is something Li Xiu never expected!

"How about making another batch tonight using this method? You can make dumplings instead of pies."

"They are black, not stupid! Let me say it again, they are not stupid." Li Xiu's nose almost turned crooked with anger.

Now he was somewhat doubting the intelligence of his deputy commander.

"Catch two locals, go to the Foreign Legion people, and say we need to negotiate."

The conspiracy failed, and Li Xiu had no choice but to start negotiations with the Foreign Legion.

“Second Master, we can’t achieve anything in the negotiations. It’s like we are begging them!

If those bastard lions open their mouths, will you continue talking to them or fight them?"

"...!" Li Xiu was speechless.

If we had the troops to fight, we would have fought long ago. Why wait until today?

"Second Master, I think that if you want to capture Corsica, you should focus on the heart." Chen Laohu saw Li Xiu's appearance and transformed into a dog-headed strategist.

"What's more important is attacking the heart?" Li Xiu looked Chen Laohu up and down.

This bastard spends more time on women's bellies than studying. Now he is actually preparing to play the art of war with him!

"Those foreign legions, to put it mildly, are actually mercenaries.

Since he is a mercenary, if he can accept employment from the French, he can accept it from us.

For them, money is far more important than loyalty." Chen Laohu looked at Li Xiu's expression and said carefully.

"Go on." Li Xiu nodded, Chen Laohu said something interesting.

"If that's the case, then it's a matter of price."

"We will not give them money. Giving them a full meal is the highest condition." Li Xiu rejected Chen Laohu's proposal without hesitation.

Ming Dynasty's money did not come from strong winds, and it would never be given to outsiders so easily.

On the contrary, many Ming soldiers still hoped to use their heads to gain glory for themselves.

"My second master, do you think I'm stupid? Why would you give your free silver coins to people who are like pigs?

But...!

I think these people can be used, let’s give them a chance.

The land can be grabbed by themselves.

The most we can do is give them some supplies, guns and ammunition.

Didn’t we seize so many guns and ammunition?

Anyway, it’s just being thrown away in the warehouse and getting rusty, so it’s better to give it to them.”

"Give them weapons and tell them where to rob them? France?

Aren't you afraid that they will take our weapons and ammunition and defect to the French directly?"

Li Xiu looked at Chen Laohu with disdain.

Do you think those black people wouldn't do such a thing as pretending to surrender?

"My second master, I'm not that stupid.

Isn't there a shortage of people at Sun Zhijie's place?

After recruiting these people, they were sent to the Middle East.

If you want land, you can grab it from the Kurds.

If you want money, that’s fine! Go and rob it from the Kurds. Even if you want women, you can go and rob it from the Kurds.

Our Ming Dynasty now has insufficient troops, so let these people go to fight with the Kurds.

Look at them, they helped the French fight for many years.

We don't need to train them, we just throw them to the Middle East and let them fight the Kurds.

Anyway, it’s a dog-eat-dog thing, and we don’t feel sorry for anyone who dies.”

Li Xiu's eyes lit up, not to mention that this was a really good idea.

The Ming Dynasty will not give money to the nearly 200,000 troops in the overseas corps, but it can give policies.

In Baghdad and Mosul, these Kurds are making trouble.

Sun Zhijie was heavily armed, but he only had 100,000 men. If he wanted to attack the Kurds, but he also had to ensure the safety of the Basra oil fields and refineries. There was no way to divide the troops.

Put these 200,000 people in and let them fight the Kurds.

If you want as much land as you want, you can grab it yourself. If you want money, you can grab it yourself. If you want women, you can grab it yourself.

This is a good idea!

Chen Laohu is right when he says that if a dog bites a dog, no one will feel sorry for him if he dies.

"This is a good idea, go ahead and do it.

If Corsica is secured early, we can also threaten the southern coast of France.

Let the French not devote themselves wholeheartedly to the Eastern Front battlefield and reduce some pressure on the big brother."

"No!" Chen Laohu nodded in agreement and quickly went to work.

Chen Laohu came to the combat command room and waved to a middle-aged staff officer.

"You go to Tavignano now and find a few locals. Let them go to the island and report a message to Haig, the commander of the Foreign Legion.

Just say, we want to negotiate with him." Chen Laohu put his hands behind his back and waved his hand very imposingly.

"Deputy Commander, this... I'm afraid it won't work." A voice sounded from behind Chen Laohu.

Chen Laohu turned around and saw Shang Zhixin walking in.

This guy served well in the defense of Constantinople, and his military rank has just been promoted to major general.

Li Xiu asked Zuo Liangyu for it, specifically responsible for the attack on Corsica.

"Oh, why doesn't it work?" Chen Laohu was a little unhappy, and he finally came up with a good idea.

Even the commander was convinced, but you couldn't do it.

"The deputy commander, Haig, and most of the officers of the Foreign Legion are French.

Their whole family is in France. If you talk to them now, how can they surrender?

Could it be that they don’t think about their wives, children, and the whole family?”

"...!" Chen Laohu was so choked that he couldn't say a word.

It seems that all the calculations have failed, the foreign legionnaires are from all over the world, but the vast majority of the officers are all French.

If they surrender..., what will happen to their families?

One or two, you can even use the help of agents to get them out.

But for this... 200,000-strong army, there must be at least 10,000 officers.

What to do with the families of these more than 10,000 people?

Chen Laohu was dumbfounded and stood there for a moment not knowing what to say.

Seeing that his deputy commander was frustrated, a lieutenant colonel and staff officer stepped forward.

"This matter is easy to handle. We can print a lot of leaflets and tell the soldiers that if we surrender, we will be forgiven and given land.

I don’t believe it, their soldiers won’t come and surrender.”

After the lieutenant colonel finished speaking, he looked at Shang Zhixin with great pride.

A Marine Corps officer dared to come to the Navy headquarters to show off. This time he was speechless.

"Bah...!" Shang Zhixin smiled.

Chen Laohu looked at Shang Zhixin with evil eyes!

"Deputy Commander, I don't mean anything else.

Maybe this brother doesn't know about the Foreign Legion. There are people from all over the world. Many of them can't even speak French. You triggered the leaflet.

Which language do you write in?
