Red Alert 1895

Chapter 239: Internal Discord (Part 2)

After Adenauer came to the front line, he immediately began to inspect the front line, and then began to prepare to see how the troops were prepared. And when he came to a trench, he found that several soldiers were fighting.

"What are you doing?" Adenauer said angrily.

The soldiers who were fighting stopped immediately, and when they saw Adenauer's rank mark, they all stopped immediately.

"General Adenauer, I'm your soldier, you have to help me! Those guys from China actually want to steal our wealth!" said a soldier stationed in the Dutch colony.

And another Dutch soldier who was supporting from the country immediately said angrily: "Obviously I saw it first. Whoever picks up the things that fall on the ground will get them. Besides, why do you get a lot of wealth in the colonies? You soldiers Even ruffians can get so much, so why should our soldiers who are protecting countries in Europe live on military pay?"

And Adenauer saw this situation and immediately knew the general situation. This is a conflict between the colonial army and the domestic army. In fact, this is an accidental necessity, and the two armies will inevitably conflict. Because although the colonial army's fighting ability is relatively weak, the fighting ability they deal with the natives is even weaker, so they are still very relaxed. And they are responsible for guarding the colony. Although they are second-rate troops, their status cannot be held back! The troops of these colonies were also used to suppress the natives and then protect those sources of wealth. And those European businessmen who want to develop those minerals and open plantations, if they want to plant safely and not be infected by the natives, they must have a good relationship with these armies. Only in this way can businessmen be able to protect their wealth from being robbed by indigenous tribes.

Of course, if you want to build a good relationship, then naturally you have to bribe those soldiers with some wealth. And these soldiers were bribed by officials, and the military style in the colonies was relatively poor. Military discipline inspections are also not strict, which makes them bribery and adultery. The combat ability of this group of colonial troops is not to say how good it is, but the ability to collect money is first-rate. In addition, the Dutch are all the overlords of Indonesia, so those natives will inevitably bring some wealth to honor them. And although the soldiers in the colonies did not have much military expenditure in Dutch law, they relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea. There are not a few people who can still rely on the colonies to make money. Of course, the future of these colonial armies has no good prospects. These bad soldiers don't expect to be promoted, which is the reason for their corruption. After all, I want to make money and go home to live a good life!

But those soldiers in the Netherlands are a little bit hard. Their training is very strict, because they have many powerful European countries, so how can they resist foreign aggression if they don't train better? In addition, the country is at the "foot of the emperor", and the military discipline is not as loose as the high emperors in the colonies. The domestic military discipline is very strict. In addition, there is nothing in the country to obtain extortion, and there is no one to bribe them, let alone bribery is meaningless. So their life is hard.

Although the legal salary of domestic soldiers is much higher than that of the colonies, this is only legal. The gray income of those soldiers in the colonies is several times to dozens of times that of domestic soldiers. This is based on the difference caused by the level of money earned by those people. Domestic soldiers survive on military pay. Colonial soldiers, on the other hand, made money from gray income. Of course, those elite troops are generally not sent to the colonies, because those high-ranking officials in the Netherlands also know what kind of **** the colonial soldiers are, and they are afraid of leading those elite troops!

Originally, domestic soldiers looked down on colonial soldiers very much, because their combat quality was much better than that of colonial soldiers. But now they actually found out that this group of people they looked down on had such a high income. These guys are not good at fighting. But his income is much higher than his own. How can this make those domestic soldiers feel balanced? I have worked hard and trained harder and harder. They are carefully controlled by military discipline, but this group of guys whose combat ability is not as good as their own is not only free in the colony. On the contrary, they can get a good income. When they return to China, they are all rich people. How can they be reconciled to this?

Therefore, the local soldiers were very dissatisfied, and there was a backlog of conflicts in their hearts. This time I saw a fortune, and then he wanted to take it for himself, and another colonial soldier definitely quit, and they ended up quarreling like this. On the surface, this is just a struggle for wealth, but inside it implies the contradiction between native soldiers and colonial soldiers.

"How can you prove that this rhino horn product is yours?" Adenauer asked.

"General Adenauer, we are your soldiers, you have to help me make the decision! Think about it, this rhino horn product is only available in our colony, and here is a trench, there are no foreign rhinos. And this is already Processed handicrafts can only be left by local soldiers in our colony. And my rhino horn food is gone, so naturally it is mine. How can there be rhino horn products from China? said the colonial soldier.

"Then this should be yours too. How can your local soldiers rob us of our wealth?" Adenauer said.

"Hmph, General Adenauer, are you taking sides with him? Then I'll go find our General Bruce!"

Soon, due to some "special" reasons, an ordinary soldier's accusation could not reach Bruce quickly, but with the help of some local military officers, the accusation reached Bruce in less than half an hour. Bruce When I saw this, I jumped up.

"Adenauer, what's going on here? Soldiers in your colony bully our soldiers from the country?" Bruce asked, slapping the table.

And Adenauer also said angrily: "Soldiers from your country are robbing the wealth of our soldiers here, why don't you say it? Our wealth is all earned by us. We guard the colony for the country. We have a heavy responsibility. What’s wrong with a little money? You eat and drink spicy food in China, and we live in this barbaric world, so don’t you allow us to make some money?”

"Fart, your enemies are all natives, and our enemies are all the powerful armies of European countries. Can this be compared? We came here with great difficulty. What happened to you giving us some good things? Could it be that they went out once, Can't you even get some money?" Bruce also continued angrily.

The two sides quarreled here, and obviously each had its own situation. For example, Adenauer was born as an ordinary civilian, and he belonged to the kind of person who got lucky among the common people. And Bruce is an aristocrat, and there is a natural struggle between nobles and commoners, whether in officialdom or in daily life, this is actually a struggle of exploitation and anti-exploitation. There are both struggles and compromises, but now Bruce looks down on this Adenauer general who was born as a commoner, so he is so rude, and Adenauer is also very aggrieved.

Of course, on the other hand, it is also a struggle between the native faction and the colonial faction. The soldiers of the local faction lived a very hard life, with heavy training, mental stress, and strict military discipline, with no money to make. But the colony is not only free and easy, the training is not strict, and their opponents are all natives, they don't have much fighting power, and they are not afraid of danger. In addition, it is a colony that is guarding, without much sense of crisis, and it is its own motherland, so military discipline is as loose as a prostitute's pants. The most unbearable thing is that the colonies make a lot of money, which obviously makes the local soldiers very unhappy.

So in this jealousy situation, the local faction will definitely find a way to make money, which will inevitably touch the cake of the colonial faction. Therefore, the struggle between the two sides is inevitable, and to some extent Adenauer has become the spokesperson of the officers and soldiers of the colonial faction, while Bruce is the spokesperson of the officers and soldiers of the native faction. This kind of entanglement between the poor family and the nobles, the factional struggles between the native and the colonies, is simply a headache that cannot be solved.

"Report to ~lightnovelpub.net~ Deputy Commander Chen, good news, really great news!" Someone said.

And Chen Liyan immediately asked: "What's going on? I was surprised, did any good news come?"

"Deputy Commander Chen, we saw through the binoculars just now that some people in the Dutch army have started to confront each other. It seems that they are divided into two factions. They are the original colonial faction troops and a large local army. They seem to have become two factions. Pai, and then they have a lot of conflicts with each other. And this kind of conflict may be very beneficial to us, so we hurried back to report!" The intelligence staff said.

When Chen Liyan heard the news, he couldn't help shouting: "God help me, the Dutch actually have internal conflicts at this time, and if they are used properly, it can be fatal. In this battle that concerns the future of the Netherlands, The Dutch are actually at odds with their generals and their factions, so it will be much easier for us to win!"

Chen Liyan could already foresee that these Dutch people might have internal discord, which would cause problems during the battle. At that time, it was time for Taiwan to deal with them severely. At that time, the balance of this fateful World War I will develop towards Taiwan. At that time, it will be much easier for everyone to win, and you can win the victory very easily. (to be continued)
