A group of laborers were invited to the center of the square by the soldiers. In one corner was a captive of the Russian soldiers.
A row of Chinese captives were pushed over and ordered to stand in the corner. A row of Beiyang soldiers looked at them coldly. When the officer drew his sword and shouted," Raise your guns."”
The soldiers raised their rifles and aimed at the prisoners in front of them.
"Fire!" The officer swung down his sword, and the soldiers pulled the triggers. After the muzzle of the gun spewed fire, the bullets shot out rapidly. When they hit a human body, the powerful kinetic energy caused the prisoner's body to burst out with scarlet blood. The blood splattered on the wall was the best proof.
Executing the Chinese laborers who helped the Soviets in battle was Li Zihao's order.
A chair was moved up to the high platform. This was originally the mine manager's favorite place, but now it was equipped with machine guns and filled with soldiers.
Zhang Lin was climbing the stairs when Li Zihao came out. Seeing the densely packed heads and the workers whispering to each other, he knew that the lives of these people were in his hands. As long as he gave the order to shoot, the surrounding soldiers would shoot.
"Quiet, whoever dares to speak will be killed without mercy.”Li Zihao fired a shot into the sky. His tone didn't sound like he was joking.
For a moment, the small square that was filled with all kinds of dialect immediately quieted down. No one thought that Li Zihao would lie because there were corpses everywhere. Wasn't this enough for them to be alert?
"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Li Zihao. I'm from Hebei Province, a fourth-year graduate of Baoding Military Academy, and a member of the 27th Division of the Northern Expedition Army. Everyone here is the same as me. We are all from the distant Asia. We belong to the same country and the same race, but now, we are killing each other here for the benefit of other races. Do you see those corpses? This was the consequence of shooting at one's own kind.
I can forgive those Russian prisoners of war, but I will never forgive those who shot at their compatriots in this distant country. I don't know what the Russian staff promised them, whether it was freedom, gold, or beautiful women. I only know that they were the lackeys of the Red Russians.
Think about it, what do you eat, what do you live in, what kind of life do you live? Even if the Russians want to rope you in, it's just to use you. Do they really treat you as their own people?
Of course not, never. I can tell you with certainty.
But I'm different. We're all from the same country, the same people, and we believe in the same culture.
More importantly, do you want to go home?
Answer me, louder."
Do you want to go home?
The answer was yes. Many people didn't know what kind of life the Chinese laborers had. On the battlefield, they were always doing the most dangerous work, and their food and accommodation were the worst.
The people of the allied countries treated the Chinese laborers like animals. Therefore, when Russia gave these laborers a little bit of benefits, many of them would die for the Russian regime.
Thinking back to their years as laborers, some of these laborers who had gone to other places were moved and even cried. It was not easy to survive. The reason why they insisted was that they wanted to return to their country. This was a small wish that was difficult to realize.
The expeditionary force was better because they had combat power and could be roped in by both sides.
"Yes."
"We want to."
"I want to go home."
Li Zihao felt a little touched, but it quickly disappeared. In this cannibal society, one could not be soft-hearted. Although it was a little despicable, these laborers were indeed a good source of labor and soldiers, because many of them had survived the battlefield.
With a little training, they could be used as cannon fodder.
Infantry, after all, was not a military type with technical content.
"Come with me, I'll bring you home. Compared to those outsiders, we're all from the same race, so I won't harm you.”
Li Zihao only used a few words to win the hearts of those laborers. The reason was that he was Chinese, so he was more reliable than the political commissar of the Soviet Union. More importantly, he wore the tiger skin of Baoding Military Academy. In this era, Baoding Military Academy was definitely the best military academy in China. Those who could get in were not ordinary.
With the help of the laborers, Zhang Lin quickly found the hidden gold nugget.
"Big brother, we're rich!" Zhang Lin was a country bumpkin. He admitted that he was a country bumpkin. It was not strange for his eyes to be dazzled when he saw so much gold.
However, not long after, Li Zihao slapped the back of his head.
"You can't bear to see money. No wonder the fortune-teller said that you were born poor.”Li Zihao even kicked him after beating him up. What a good-for-nothing. Wasn't it just a pile of yellow pieces that hadn't been refined?
"Hehehe." Zhang Lin also understood something and took a few steps back.
Only then did Li Zihao see the size of the gold in the box. It seemed that this was the military expenditure of the Soviets. A rough estimate was that it weighed about a ton. However, if it was really refined into authentic goods, it was estimated that the weight would shrink a lot.
"Take them all away. We'll go to Pinsk and enjoy ourselves.”
"Big brother, we agreed to go and eat some foreign meat.”
"F * ck, didn't you ride it before?”
Prostitution was a kind of evil, but since ancient times, many men liked it. Moreover, in this chaotic era, many women had to go into the water to sell their bodies in order to survive. As long as they had money, it was not difficult to play with high-quality ones.
Li Zihao and Princess Tasia rode side by side in the long marching column. Pinsk was a Russian-occupied region. Although it was the capital of the state, it was still not enough compared to the big cities of this era. Even so, it was still better than these rural places.
More importantly, Li Zihao could use the princess as his trump card in these places. Compared to others, he, an outsider, was more worthy of the princess 'trust. Moreover, they had feelings for each other.
The only thing the princess could rely on was his troops.
"Princess, what are your plans?" Li Zihao's gaze made Princess Tasia's heart flutter. Although she was a princess, it was her first time falling in love.
"I'm not sure. The world is too chaotic. My family died tragically at the hands of the Bolshek Party, but I can't do anything.”
"Princess, don't be sad. You still have me. Let's go to Pinsk. This is a chance. As long as you become the tsar, the Romanov Dynasty can be restored. I believe that most people in this country have seen the cruel face of Russia.”
Hearing Li Zihao's words, Princess Tasia's heart slowly became firm, but she was also a little worried. Because the prestige of the Romanov Dynasty had been lost, even if she became the female tsar, she would probably be a puppet. Looking at the face of the man beside her, she decided to let him help her wholeheartedly.
The best way was to marry him. In this special period, she was just a princess with an empty identity. Only by using this method could she truly capture a capable man.
