Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

“Why are there so many casualties?”

"Commander, most of the losses on the Ying side are colonial soldiers. You know that those troops are not even second-rate. Facing the fierce Hans army, it is very rare that their defense line did not collapse. It is normal that they suffered a large loss."

After Liu Haizhong's explanation, everyone in the headquarters finally reacted. Before, everyone had been using their own army to fight against the armies of the two allies, and the 60,000 casualties were indeed exaggerated.

But if it were the colonial army, then everything would be explained.

"Can you determine the number of troops the enemy has sent there this time?"

"According to the feedback from the three divisions we sent to support, the enemy did send quite a lot of people there this time. Two hundred thousand might be an exaggeration, but there are definitely a hundred thousand. However, it is difficult to count the exact number. Now we can only be sure that the enemy's number is definitely more than 120,000."

"One hundred and twenty thousand people, one hundred and twenty thousand people. How many of Long Mei'er's own troops do you think he will send this time?"

"It shouldn't be too many. It would kill an entire division!"

After thinking about it for a while, the staff officers in the headquarters gave an answer.

In fact, not only did they think that Long Meir would not send out too many of her own troops, but Fang Hong also had the same idea as them.

As I said, Long Meir doesn't have many cards to play now. He doesn't think that Long Meir will take the risk of playing all the cards in her hand. Doing so will not only do him no good, but will also risk losing everything.

Based on Long Meir's past performance, Fang Hong never thought that his opponent was a fool.

"Commander, it's time to eat. I made your favorite臊子面 for lunch today. Please eat it while it's hot!"

"Lao He, don't just think about our commander. We've been hungry for most of the day!"

"Go, go, go, can you do the same as the commander? If you want to eat noodles, go outside and get them yourself."

The person entering the headquarters with noodles in his hand is He Daqing, another important character in the drama "Love in the Courtyard".

Coincidentally, the owner of the restaurant where He Daqing worked was going to move his family to Xihua. Because He Daqing was a good cook, he brought He Daqing and his family to Xihua.

After arriving at Xihua, He Daqing worked with the boss for a few more years. Later, Xihua bought a large colony from the Ying people. At that time, anyone with a little ambition would naturally choose to go to the African continent for development. It was at that time that He Daqing took his wife and children to the inland.

There he not only made a fortune, but also reunited with several old neighbors from the capital.

At that time, most people who went to Africa had made a fortune, and since they were all young, they sat together and discussed how to hold on to their current wealth.

As they chatted, the group actually talked about joining the army.

Originally, Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing declined the offer, but they both cared about their reputation. After that night, other people joined the army one after another, and it would be embarrassing for them if they couldn't get along.

As a result, the two old brothers got excited and both ran to join the army.

After joining the army and undergoing half a year of recruit training, the two brothers, because they both had skills, Yi Zhonghai was directly assigned to the engineering corps, while He Daqing became a cook.

Since they joined the army, this group of people have been in the army for almost 20 years.

Because Yi Zhonghai has a strong learning ability and some knowledge of how to deal with people and do things, he has become the battalion commander of an engineering battalion.

As for He Daqing, on the surface he still looks like a cook, but in fact his real identity is now the chief of the fourth section of the third division of the logistics department of the South China Expeditionary Force's African Corps Command, with the rank of major.

As for Liu Haizhong mentioned above, although he is not as smooth as Yi Zhonghai and his learning ability is not as strong as the other, because he is serious about his work and has always had a good attitude towards learning, after completing all the courses in the military academy, he has been serving as a staff officer in the army.

He used to be the deputy chief of staff in a division-level unit. After coming to Africa this time, although he was transferred to the corps headquarters as an ordinary staff officer, in fact, this guy's military rank is colonel. If we talk about how well he is doing, Liu Haizhong is the best among their group. This can be regarded as the fulfillment of his dream of becoming an official in the TV series.

"I understand. I finally figured out what Long Mei'er is going to do."

"Commander, what did you say?"

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Lao He. If it weren't for your bowl of noodles, I really wouldn't have figured out why Long Meier had to cause so much trouble."

"Commander, what do you mean by that?"

"Long Mei'er is probably planning to attack West Africa. As for the enemies we are facing now, they are probably the gifts he left for us."

"what?"

Fang Hong said this without any context. Everyone present couldn't understand how Fang Hong connected a bowl of noodles to Long Meir's plan.

"Forget it, let's just wait for news. I think it won't be long before the Gauls send us a message asking for help!"
