Chapter 259 I want to do something that will shock the world! (Second update!)
Montgomery looked at his subordinates in bewilderment.
"The airport was attacked?"
"Yes, an urgent telegram just came in. An unidentified armed group attacked the airport. Their weapons are very advanced, all American equipment, and they are currently attacking the airport." The communications staff quickly reported.
Upon hearing this, Montgomery became furious and cursed the natives with vicious words.
A few years ago, he led his troops to wipe out those natives, and everything had been peaceful for several years. But who would have thought that they would cause trouble again, and at this very critical moment.
"Do we still have transport planes?" After a burst of cursing, Montgomery calmed down and began to look for remedies.
That is his trump card. If something goes wrong, it will be really troublesome.
"There are still ten transport planes..." The operations staff officer was rudely interrupted by Montgomery before he could finish his words.
"Once the rain stops, send transport planes to provide support immediately. Make sure to hold on to the airport."
"Yes."
The operations staff also knew the importance of the airport, so they did not dare to refute.
…………
On the other side, in the Canaan region, a group of natives surrounded the British airport.
The weapons of these natives are all American equipment.
As for how it came about, it was naturally thanks to Alberts.
Because Cun Yunsheng asked him to help introduce those camel brothers.
The natives of the Canaan region were Cun Yunsheng’s first customers.
Li Si leased five 30,000-ton cargo ships in accordance with Cun Yunsheng's request.
According to the requirements, the crew members were all from India, and the flag flown was that of the United States, but the shareholders behind these ships were all from the British Empire.
In order to meet these requirements, Li Si put a lot of thought and spent a lot of money.
At first, the flag flown by the ship was Japanese, but after entering the Red Sea, it was changed to American.
After entering the Red Ocean, Li Si began to sell weapons and equipment on a large scale according to the connections provided by Alberts.
Except for one ship which was loaded with weapons and equipment, the other five ships were loaded with desert sand.
The Canaan region is a desert, and the thing it lacks the least is sand.
So when Li Si proposed to exchange weapons and equipment for a large amount of sand, all the natives thought Li Si was crazy.
They didn't believe it until the other party actually took out weapons and equipment.
The weapons used to exchange sand are Japanese equipment, such as the Type 38 rifle and other light weapons.
Although it is a useless thing for the Sichuan Army.
That's good stuff for these natives.
What’s more important is that these weapons are free and can be obtained by simply exchanging them for worthless sand.
After all the Japanese equipment on the ship was replaced, Li Si took out American equipment again. American equipment for 5,000 people was a considerable number.
Especially after seeing the American equipment, those powerful natives instantly looked down upon the Japanese equipment in their hands.
"So expensive?" asked a Canaanite native in surprise.
He hadn't expected an American Springfield rifle to cost so much.
"Of course, it's war time now, and everything is going to go up in price. We have to make money by transporting it from thousands of miles away," said Li Si with a smile.
Although he didn't understand why Cun Yunsheng asked him to do this, he knew that there must be a reason for doing so.
"But the money we have can only buy a small part of the weapons." The indigenous leader said bitterly.
He hadn't thought of robbing.
Because it will ruin their reputation and no businessmen will come here in the future.
He would definitely not do such a thing that would lead to his own death.
"It's okay. If you don't have money, you can just go and rob." Li Si said with a smile.
Hearing this, the indigenous leader was stunned.
What do you mean?
Let them rob?
Who are you robbing?
Seize passing ships?
I'm afraid it will be smashed into pieces by the warship in the next second.
Besides, they are all goods, there is no point in robbing them.
"You can go and rob the British army. There is a British airport not far from you. There are many valuable things there. As long as you occupy this airport, all problems will be solved." Li Si said in a persuasive manner.
Hearing this, the indigenous leader continued to remain silent.
He naturally knew what airport Li Si was talking about.
That was an airport built by the British army a few years ago after they suppressed a rebellion, with the purpose of intimidating the surrounding indigenous people.
Although they had long hated this airport, they did not dare to challenge its power.
After all, without the strength, attacking the British airport would be no different from seeking death.
The results of it?
Now someone is instigating them to attack the airport. If it weren't for the fact that the other party generously sent a batch of weapons and equipment, he would probably have wanted to kill the other party.
"That's the British military airport." The native leader said slowly after a long time.
"I know. After all, there is only one British military airport here." Li Si said with a smile. He did not care about the other party's attitude and continued.
"Don't you want revenge? After so many years, don't you want to drive the British troops away?"
"Don't forget how the British army bullied you and suppressed you in the past."
I have to say that this trick really worked, at least the indigenous leader's eyes were red with anger.
Many brave warriors of his troops died in the last British operation to suppress the rebellion.
"Now that the British Empire has begun to decline, they are simply unable to maintain their current dominant position. Now is the best time for you to take back the airport and completely drive out the British army."
"Do you want there to be other invaders in your homeland?" Li Si said meaningfully.
"You mean those..." The indigenous leader was interrupted by Li Si before he could finish his words.
"Those are things for the future. What you need to do now is to drive away the British army. Don't you want to be the king of all the tribes?"
"As long as you can occupy the British airport and drive away the British troops there, your reputation will surely spread, and more tribes will come to you."
I have to say that Li Si's way of bewitching people is really powerful.
At least the indigenous leader on the opposite side was tempted.
But he was still hesitant. Seeing this, Li Si decided to add fuel to the fire and spoke directly.
"As for the remaining weapons, I can lend them to you in advance. I believe that with 5,000 men equipped with American weapons, it should be no problem to capture an airport with several hundred people."
As expected, after hearing this, the native leader immediately knew the answer in his mind, but still asked.
"What price should I pay?"
After all, there is no free lunch in the world. He felt uneasy that he got so many weapons without paying anything.
He didn't want to let the wolf into the house.
"It's very simple. Once we take over the airport, those planes and various equipment, as well as fuel will be the price of these equipment." Li Si said calmly.
This deal is clearly a loss.
After all, there are only dozens of fighter jets at the airport, and the so-called repair equipment should not be worth the money.
At least in the eyes of the natives, it is a loss.
But for Cun Yunsheng, it is not the case.
As the number of pilots continued to increase, production on his own was too slow, so he had to find another way to get a batch of fighter planes.
There is no problem in producing wooden airplanes by ourselves, but the airplane engine is a problem.
Although he could get the Germans to sell him a batch of engines, Cun Yunsheng didn't like the feeling of having his lifeline controlled by others, so he set his sights on the British airfield. He wanted to pack up the British airfield and take back all the equipment inside.
By then he will have a standardized airport instead of the current simplified airport.
Everything is missing!
In addition, there is the layout in the Persian area.
Brush up your favorability in advance.
Let all the camels, big and small, in Persia know that there is such a person as himself.
Lay the foundation for future layout.
"No problem. As long as you are willing to lend me equipment, I have a way to take over these airports." The indigenous leader vowed.
Hearing this, the smile on Li Si's face widened. He didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.
In fact, when Li Si pointed out that as long as he captured the British airport, he could become the king of all tribes, the indigenous leaders were tempted.
"May I ask, what do you want all that sand for?"
You know, the thing that the desert lacks the least is sand.
It turns out that some people exchanged sand for weapons, which is really strange.
No wonder he was curious.
"I'm going to use this sand to do something that will shock the world." Li Si said lightly.
Seeing that Li Si was unwilling to say more, the indigenous leader didn't bother to ask more questions.
After obtaining the weapons and receiving a brief training, they immediately headed towards the British airport.
When Montgomery ordered the fighter planes at the airport to prepare for takeoff, the natives began to attack the airport.
"Damn it, these natives are rioting again, we must kill them all." This is what the British army said when they first discovered the natives.
When I saw that the natives were equipped with all American weapons, I was completely stunned.
When did the natives become so wealthy?
Even American equipment is available?
Is this still the poor native?
If Cun Yun was born here, he would definitely say that anything can grow in the desert and you have to believe in miracles.
Next, the British army, who originally wanted to teach the natives a lesson, was beaten back by the powerful firepower of the natives.
They even sent a telegram to Montgomery asking for help, saying that they would be defeated without reinforcements.
Li Si looked at these natives, who were like headless flies, beating them randomly without any rules.
If it weren't for the firepower advantage, they would have been defeated by the British army long ago.
"What the hell is going on? Even a layman like me can't stand it anymore." Finally, Li Si couldn't stand this disorganized battle anymore and proposed to attack in batches.
As expected, the pressure on British troops in the airport suddenly increased.
They never thought that there would be a day when the natives would take the initiative to attack them.
"Damn it, where did these natives come from? Why do they have American weapons and equipment?"
"And there were a lot of mortars."
If the airport had not been fortified, it would have been destroyed by now.
Even so, there were constant loopholes in the defense line and it was occupied by the indigenous people.
"Damn it, send a telegram to Lieutenant General Montgomery immediately and request reinforcements, otherwise the airport will fall into the hands of the natives." The airport commander shouted loudly.
"Continue the attack and don't give the British army time to rest." Li Si also became addicted to commanding and began to speak to the native leader.
Perhaps because he knew that his command ability was poor, the indigenous leader did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead conveyed the order to attack to his subordinates.
Finally, faced with powerful firepower, the British army could no longer bear it and began to retreat.
As for surrender?
That is impossible.
Because of what they have done, the other party will never let them go.
You can understand this by looking at the captives who fell into the hands of the natives and were tortured to death.
These natives hated the British army to their core.
Because a few years ago, the British Empire passed a bill.
The indigenous people of the Canaan region were forced to cede a piece of land to others for settlement.
Therefore, these natives had no good feelings towards the British army at all.
Li Si pretended not to see this scene and looked around the airport.
The facilities were very complete, and it was equipped with more than 30 Spitfire fighters, in addition to 20 Lancaster bombers.
Looking at the huge beast in front of him, Li Si swallowed his saliva wildly on the spot.
However, the indigenous leader behind him looked indifferent.
Doesn't he know the value of these planes?
Do not!
he knows.
But the man under his command could not read a single word and had no idea how to fly a fighter plane.
Even if these fighter planes were left behind, they would just be left here and would be of no use at all.
It is better to be generous and make good friends.
It took Li Si a long time to react, and then he immediately asked his entourage to send a telegram to Cun Yunsheng.
Then another problem arose, which was how to transport these fighter jets back.
The best way is to dismantle these fighter jets and then transport them back slowly by cargo ships.
But if that were the case, it would take too long.
Soon, Cun Yunsheng called back and stated that the batch of fighter jets must be shipped back at all costs.
Seeing this, Li Si could only send a telegram to the office in Hong Kong, asking them to find a way to rent another batch of cargo ships.
After solving this problem, Li Si asked the indigenous leader to keep the fighter planes safe and sent people to chase the British troops.
Be sure to keep an eye out for the ground crew, they must be very knowledgeable about aircraft and know how to fold the wings of these fighters.
This is the only way to maximize the transport of fighter jets.
This is also the internationally common method of transporting fighter aircraft.
But these natives had no idea how to fold fighter planes and could only rely on the British engineers.
I believe they can definitely fold the wings of these fighter planes.
After everything was done, Li Si ordered five 30,000-ton cargo ships to continue sailing towards the canal.
According to the plan, when the situation reached the narrowest part of the canal, the five cargo ships were lined up in a row and all sank to the bottom of the canal.
This would completely block the canal.
If we want to clean up the river, with the current level of excavation, it may take more than a year or two to complete.
However, this year and a half will provide the Sichuan Army with ample opportunities for development.
When Li Si proposed to leave first, the indigenous leader looked reluctant.
After he captured the British airport, as expected, his reputation spread far and wide, and many more tribes came to join him.
"Li, what are you going to do?" asked the native leader curiously.
"I'm going to do something that will shock the world." Li Si said with a smile on his face.
