When the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared completely, Welsh City became quiet.
Unlike the peaceful atmosphere of the past, the Welsh air today seems to be filled with the smell of tension.
Under the requirements of the interim decree, the residents of Wales had to afford a soldier's food. Although they were unhappy in their hearts, no one dared to resist.
The cruel scenes during the day scared them out of their guts, and no one wanted to risk losing their lives to refuse.
"Sir, this is bread, jerky, cheese and red wine, please use it slowly."
In a seemingly wealthy family, Chang Yuzhu lay down at the table and waited for the owner of the house to deliver food. For them who traveled a long distance, they needed a dinner too much now.
And before the next batch of supplies arrives, they can only use Wales' own resources to feed themselves. Obtaining supplies from the defeated is a necessary ability.
"Not bad, more abundant than I expected."
Chang Yuzhu looked at the food on the table and swept his eyes on the owner of the house. This is a fat middle-aged man who seems to be living well all the time.
But because he didn't understand the English language, he didn't bother to communicate with them.
While Chang Yuzhu was eating, the imperial soldiers on the streets of Wales were acting in class units. They were assigned to different areas, each with twelve households.
A squad of twelve people in groups of three, divided into four groups to eat, each time a soldier enters the house to eat, the other two are responsible for safety.
They took the same approach to protect their safety during their breaks. After all, to the British, they are enemies, and they must always be vigilant when staying in the enemy’s home.
In addition, Lei Ming also issued a curfew order and arranged for patrols to patrol Wales. Any British who appeared on the streets at night would be shot and killed.
The machine gunners who are the key protection targets are arranged in the Governor's Mansion. They and their equipment are here, and the logistics soldiers accompanying the army are responsible for their meals.
"Commander, this is the document we found in the Governor's Mansion. It records all the information about Wales." Shi Yanjun held a summary of the information.
"Read!" Lei Ming took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and lit it.
Like many generals, it is difficult for him to quit with this thing. After all, for those fighting on the battlefield, there are few things that can relax their spirits.
However, this kind of cigarette is very expensive, and there is only one manufacturer in the empire. As for who invented it, of course it is their emperor.
"According to the data, there are 9,000 freedmen who have migrated from Wales today, with a population of about 35,000, and there are 20,000 offspring of offenders with a population of about 68,000. The rest are A total of 7,000 criminals have been sent from Britain in the past three years."
After a pause, Shi Yanjun continued: "In recent years, they have opened up many pastures and farms outside Wales. Among them, the number of farms is 33,320, and the divided pastures are six hundred large and small. These pastures are mainly beef cattle and sheep used to produce wool, while the farms mainly grow wheat, barley, oilseeds, cotton, and sugar cane."
Hearing the words of Thunder, he suddenly laughed heartily. He said, "This time the occupation of Australia is really a lucrative business. The British have been operating here for so many years. Now these results are ours, whether it is cattle, sheep or cotton. These are all ready-made, we just need to enjoy the ready-made."
Shi Yanjun agreed with a smile; "Who said no? With so many ready-made farms and pastures, as long as all the ready-made farms and pastures are received, the soldiers stationed in Australia will have nothing to worry about. However, there are still too many British people in Wales. If these people riot against It is a great trouble for us, and it will also hinder our continued offensive pace."
The thunderous expression sank, Shi Yanjun was worried about what he was thinking.
He knew very well that these British people were only afraid of their force, and psychologically they could not surrender. After all, Britain already had its own national concept.
To the British, they are foreigners and enemies. It is impossible for them to get along with them physically or psychologically.
So now there are two things before him. The first is to adopt a cruel policy to completely turn the residents of Wales into slaves. The second is to treat the residents here gently and collect taxes from them.
The disadvantage of the former is that this will cause intense conflicts for a while, while the disadvantage of the latter is that sooner or later, the ruling of such a group of seemingly alien races will cause chaos.
However, Leiming had a decisive heart after fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years. He asked Shi Yanjun: "If the identities were exchanged, how would you say these British people would treat us?"
"Commander, is this still necessary? They will definitely turn us into slaves and sell us to other colonies as coolies, and they do exactly that."
"That's it." Leiming's eyes sharpened, "how we deal with the barbarians how we deal with them."
Shi Yanjun nodded in excitement. If these people were not handcuffed, he would not be able to sleep well at night. "Then I now order the generals to be prepared, and I will officially announce the slavery bill in these two days to bring these defeated All become slaves."
Lei Ming nodded, "In addition, we will send someone back as soon as possible. We can't stay here all the time~EbookFREE.me~ Shi Yanjun answered yes, and then he hesitated and said; "Commander, soldiers bathed in blood It’s a pity to fight to get here without getting any oil or water. You see, this Wales is just a small place on the Australian mainland, and there are boundless fertile land besides it. Isn’t it wasteful to be empty? "
Thunder's eyes narrowed. Leading the army to war is actually a difficult task. Soldiers are also humans, and they have their own lusts. So once the generals indulge the soldiers, these soldiers will become bandits. Generals also often adopt this method to let the soldiers release the depressed emotions in their hearts.
The discipline of the imperial army is very strict, but this strict distance and the morale of the battle are two different things. Because of this, the imperial army's incentive policy for foreign operations has continued.
And for three years in the army, wealth and wealth have become a folk proverb.
"Why, it seems that you have a good impression of here." Lei Ming laughed.
Shi Yanjun said: "Commander, compared to the cold in Kanto, according to the British, it is warm and humid throughout the year. It is precisely because of this that the United Kingdom will look at this place. Since we are ordered to occupy this place, we always have to get close to the water. ."
