Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Thank you Commander-in-Chief for your appreciation. However, this is due to the Commander-in-Chief's good guidance, and the surname Chen is at best lucky. We completely followed your tactics to carry out this long-distance raid, and it is only natural that we will win this time." .”

Feng Yuxiang is in a very good mood today, because he has just received a report from Basra.The report stated that the dragon army there had just captured the entire coastal port of Basra.At the same time, Chen Cheng's troops also sent a telegram from Najaf. The Dragon Army defeated the counterattack of two French divisions at the Fars Pass, 6 kilometers away from Najaf, annihilated two enemy brigades, and severely damaged the other two. brigade and the rest of the Iraqi militia.

Will of the Empire Chapter 844 We only accept surrender

Flowers can increase a little, as Feng Yuxiang imagined, after the dust of the Battle of Basra settled, the situation in Iraq gradually stabilized. In the near future, the chariots of the Dragon Army will inevitably gallop in various cities in Iraq.At this time, Feng Yuxiang began to think about another battle in his heart, that is, the upcoming battle of Saudi Arabia.At present, the only thing that can distract him is this Baghdad.As long as Baghdad can be successfully captured, the Iraq war will soon come to a successful conclusion.

Thinking of this, Feng Yuxiang couldn't help getting excited, and he immediately asked loudly: "Apart from your troops, have any other troops arrived in Baghdad? How long will it take us to be ready to attack Baghdad? How many more troops do we need?" Is there enough ammunition?"

Chen Jitang said with a smile: "As of this afternoon, our troops have successfully completed the siege of Baghdad. Among them, the 41st Motorized Army has entered the left flank of Baghdad. Their No.11 Armored Division has occupied 9 Sen. And the 17th Panzergrenadier Division of the Empire has just sent a telegram saying that they have reached the north bank of the Tigris River and are preparing to move closer to the main force. Our right flank is the 20th Panzergrenadier Division, which is 9 kilometers away from Baghdad Now, the entire area along the Baghdad river has been completely controlled by us. As of today, according to our estimates, our troops here should reach 1400, including 300 tanks and 8 troops. Heavy artillery, the second-line troops are coming in one after another. This includes the infantry of the [-]th Division, and a large number of artillery units. Baghdad is already on the tiger's mouth. As long as we close our mouths, we can swallow the city immediately .”

Feng Yuxiang nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, "Baghdad? How was this city conquered in the past? Why can't I remember that it took so much effort to take down Baghdad?" A strange question was in Feng Yuxiang's mind It circled inside.Of course, it is impossible for Feng Yuxiang to remember every detail of history, not to mention that the reality is completely different.He really has no way to formulate any new tactics for this. Now, the safest way is to rely on his own soldiers, tanks and super cannons to deal with this city that refuses to surrender. Although, he knows Many innocent people will definitely die in this battle, but for the sake of victory, he can no longer control so many.

Thinking of this, Feng Yuxiang nodded slightly, and said, "Since this is the case, I don't care about anything, and order the troops to prepare for the attack as soon as possible. Remember, the importance of Baghdad is self-evident, and we must take this city .Because he is the last obstacle preventing us from entering Saudi Arabia. I will give you 7 days, and after 7 days I will see our flag on the top of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense building!" Feng Yuxiang pointed in the direction of Baghdad loudly Said.

"But, Commander-in-Chief." After hearing the task assigned by the Commander-in-Chief, Chen Jitang stood at attention abruptly, and said quickly, "However, it will take about 56 days for our troops to be mobilized. If we wait until the heavy artillery is fully mobilized, The time for the attack may have passed long ago. Now Baghdad has nearly 7 troops from the Iraqi 11th and 20th Army Groups, and they also have a large amount of food and ammunition. Baghdad’s defense measures are also very complete. They There are many high-rise buildings and small bunkers. These areas may become fortresses and block our progress. In short, under the current situation, it is impossible for us to complete the attack on Baghdad within 7 days. Even if we give us [-] It's impossible for the troops." Chen Jitang was as stubborn as ever, and expressed his opinion without losing the opportunity.

"Don't give me a reason, Chen Jitang, don't give me a reason!" Feng Yuxiang waved his hand heavily at the other party, "Be confident in yourself. I know what you're talking about, and I'm also very clear about our strength. Believe it Me, Baghdad is definitely easier than Tehran because Iraq doesn't have a strong backup and their morale is low. In my opinion, maybe we send a small team into Baghdad and we can take the city! "Feng Yuxiang's expression was serious, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.

But before he could finish his words, the voice of a messenger came from outside the door, "Sir, I am Captain Feng Xuefeng, the messenger of the 41st Armored Army. We just received an intelligence report from inside Baghdad. The intelligence said, A detachment of the Panzer Corps has entered Baghdad at 17!"

"What?" After hearing the news, both Feng Yuxiang and Chen Jitang were taken aback. They really didn't expect such a small episode.Feng Yuxiang immediately asked back: "When did you get this report. Also, tell me which unit entered Baghdad. What is their designation?" After the messenger left, Feng Yuxiang immediately pulled Song Zheyuan away Said: "Check with me immediately, is there any reconnaissance troops entering Baghdad, I want to know what is going on?"

Just as Feng Yuxiang was getting a little impatient, Song Zheyuan sent an even more shocking news: "I've found it out, I've found it out, it's the Lightning Troop of the Empire, lunatics, lunatics! That kid Du Yuming led 10 [-] mechanized infantrymen have effectively taken over the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and have forced the Iraqi government to surrender."

"What? Du Yuming?" After hearing the news, everyone present was stunned.

Let's turn the time back to the Chinese Consulate in Baghdad at around 5:26 in the evening on May 18.

"I want to find the mayor of Baghdad and Iraqi president Qassem, and I want their surrender." When Du Yuming said this cruel sentence, everyone present couldn't help but stunned.

"Surrender? Should we surrender to the Iraqis or should the Iraqis surrender to us?" a female diplomat muttered softly.If Du Yuming wants to surrender to the Iraqi army now, the time seems wrong.Although the Chinese Consulate in Baghdad will definitely not be able to withstand the thunderbolt of the Iraqi army, but by virtue of the "Geneva Convention", the Iraqis will not be so frantic that they want to attack a country's consulate.Therefore, it is still possible for Du Yuming and the others to hide in the consulate to protect themselves, and there is no need to surrender to the Iraqi government.However, if Du Yuming found the mayor of Baghdad because he needed him to hand over the city, then the situation would be too weird.How many people does Du Yuming have?Even including those volunteers inside the consulate, mainly guards, cooks, handymen, waiters and some Chinese in Iraq who escaped the war in the Chinese consulate, the number of this small volunteer team is less than 200 , and they lack training and actual combat experience, if they face a real battle, they can only use it for appearance at best.

Therefore, all consulate staff, including Ambassador Guo Taiqi, did not believe that Du Yuming would force the opponent to surrender with such a few soldiers on hand.

"Mr. Major! Major Du Yuming!" After being silent for a long time, Guo Taiqi finally couldn't help but speak. "Major, you just said that we need to surrender, do we need to surrender or..."

"Nonsense!" Du Yuming blushed, stared sharply, and said loudly, "I don't have the word surrender in my dictionary. It's not that we want to surrender, it's that those Iraqis want to surrender to us..."

"Ah?" Du Yuming said it very clearly and clearly this time.

crazy!It's just crazy.No one can think of such crazy things.A squad of only 11 people actually demanded the surrender of a capital city with hundreds of thousands of enemies. This is an idea that only a lunatic can come up with.Unless Du Yuming and these guys are gods descended from the earth, they have cultivated the indestructible body of King Kong.Therefore, Guo Taiqi immediately said: "Major, I know you are eager to do meritorious service. However, meritorious service does not mean death. There are only 11 of you. I really can't think of how you can convince the Iraqi president, the mayor of Baghdad and those Iraqi generals. They surrender, unless they all go crazy." Guo Taiqi paused, and then said: "Of course, if Major Du wants to make meritorious service and get a medal, he doesn't need to use such drastic methods. In my opinion, as long as you can It is enough to defend this consulate. After all, the consulate is a symbol of our Chinese empire. As long as this building can be protected and our people can be preserved, I think a second-class Golden Dragon Medal from the Ministry of War cannot escape. "

"Hehe," after listening to Guo Taiqi's words, Du Yuming waved his hand slightly and said, "Mr. Ambassador, I know the current situation, and I am also very aware of the gap between myself and the opponent's strength, but these are not problems." He took out a pack of Yellow River cigarettes from his bosom, lit one, took a deep breath, and then continued: "Mr. Ambassador, please believe me, this is nothing, I am confident, because our troops have arrived They are on the outskirts of Baghdad, and all the Iraqis are in panic at this moment. As long as we raise our arms, they will definitely surrender to us." At this point, he glanced at the people present, and said to Guo Taiqi: "Ambassador Sir, have you sent your liaison officer yet? He is a key step that affects whether we can get outside support, which determines whether we can win Baghdad in the end."

"Please rest assured, although I have great doubts about your plan, delivering the letter is not a problem." Guo Taiqi took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his brow, and said, "I have already handed over your written report to mine." A subordinate, he once worked in the Secret Service of the Iraqi Station of the Imperial Security Bureau, is very clever, and should be able to send the news to General Chen Jitang as quickly as possible."

Will of the Empire Chapter 845 Crazy Negotiations

Chapter 805 Crazy Negotiations At 18:30 in the evening, an even more surprising scene appeared.

The mayor of Baghdad arrived at the Chinese Consulate in Baghdad with a large group of entourage from the city hall.All of them were wearing black suits, with briefcases and black suitcases, in short, everything looked very formal.

At this time, Du Yuming had already taken off his dirty military uniform and changed into a light gray army officer uniform.The dress was randomly rummaged from the consulate's closet.The tall Du Yuming put on this dress not only fit his body, but also carried a trace of heroism.

"Hello, if I read correctly, you are the mayor of Baghdad, right?" Du Yuming said straight to the point as soon as the two sides met: "I am the commander of the Lightning Troop under the Armored Corps of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Chinese Empire, Du Yuming Major, now I will have a meeting with you on behalf of General Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the empire!" At this time, Du Yuming was not nervous at all, but held his head high, put his hands behind his back, and listened with his back straight.Putting on a domineering look.

The look on the other side confused the mayor of Baghdad, Mohammad Taraki. The other side looked arrogant, but not at all artificial.This situation made Takira even more confused about the opponent's details. After a few seconds of consideration, he decided to try it out first.

"Your Excellency, Major, I am the mayor of Baghdad, and my name is Muhammad Taraki." Takira said while pondering, the situation outside Baghdad is not very clear now, although there are reports that a large number of dragon troops have entered Baghdad And occupied the Ministry of National Defense and government buildings, but without confirmation, don't express your attitude casually.Thinking of this, he continued: "I am very surprised by your invitation. I really don't understand why you want me to come here to meet?"

"Mr. Mayor, I hope you immediately order the whole of Baghdad to surrender to me!" Du Yuming uttered a surprising sentence as soon as he opened his mouth.

"What? Major, did I hear you right? You told us to surrender?" Takira asked in surprise. Although he had expected that the Chinese might persuade them to surrender, the other party's sudden words made Taki Ra was caught off guard.After all, based on what he has seen so far, he really can't think of any reason or strength for the other party to make him surrender the whole city. "Major, are you drunk? You asked us to surrender? You are only a few of us, and you actually asked us to surrender. This is too exaggerated. It's so funny." Speaking of this, Takila couldn't help laughing out loud Get up, but his eyes never leave Du Yuming's face.

Unexpectedly, Du Yuming also burst into laughter, and his laughter was full of confidence, "Am I wrong? Baghdad is now a city full of dangers. Our troops have surrounded the city. The roads leading to the outside world have been tightly blocked by us. There is no way for you to escape, let alone break through. I really can’t think of any reason for you to stay here and persist.”

"But the facts are not necessarily what you said. Maybe you are bluffing here, maybe there is no new dragon army entering Baghdad at all, you are just stragglers who came in by accident. In short, the current situation is in my favor, at least I am now There are more people than you." At this point he waved his hand, and dozens of followers standing behind him drew out their pistols and surrounded him.

"Maybe what you said is right, Mr. Mayor." Seeing dozens of pistols pointed at him, Du Yuming still did not show any panic. He slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, slowly I lit it, took a deep breath, and said: "Mr. Mayor, I advise you not to do such a stupid thing. Because it will not benefit you at all."

"Oh? Why?" Takila saw that the other party didn't have a look of panic, but looked very calm on the contrary, which made him feel a little uneasy.However, as the mayor of Baghdad and the senior representative of this negotiation, he must not show timidity, otherwise he will give the other party the opportunity to seize the opportunity and fall into a disadvantageous position in future negotiations.Thinking of this, he emphasized his tone, "Major, the lives of you and your subordinates are in my hands. I hope you'd better not be so arrogant. If something goes wrong, it will be hard for everyone to deal with it."

"Maybe." Du Yuming nodded slightly and said, "However, the situation is favorable to us now." Speaking of which, he threw away the half-burned cigarette, "Although we only have these people, we control the whole of Baghdad The lives and deaths of nearly 120 million people, to tell you the truth, we are just a reconnaissance force, and our mission is to enter Baghdad first to obtain information. According to the internal agreement of the Dragon Army, we generally keep in touch with the large forces every 20 minutes. If we cannot send the message on time due to reasons, then the four armored divisions outside Baghdad will unceremoniously launch a fierce attack on the city. Do you remember how the Imperial Air Force dealt with Japan in World War II? At that time, everything will be It’s too late, and all you’ll be left with is a city in ruins.”

"Hmph! Alarmist talk!" Takila pouted slightly, and said, "Who knows if what you said is true, maybe you are just bluffing here."

"It doesn't matter." Du Yuming put on a look of indifference, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you say I am alarmist or bragging. Anyway, our troops are outside Baghdad. As long as I send a telegram, or you and If your subordinates take any radical actions that prevent us from sending out the contact telegram on time, hey, then this matter will become very interesting."

He paused and said: "Tonight the whole city will be violently bombed by the Imperial Air Force, and the night bombing by the Imperial Air Force is quite exciting. Have you heard of Kirkuk's 'Operation Heavenly Sword'? The Imperial Air Force just used It turned the city into ruins for one night. The weather tonight is very good, the sky is cloudless, which is perfect for night air raids. I don’t think Baghdad has such a strong air defense force, so it can survive today Thousands of planes bombing at night? I doubt it."

Seeing that the other party was sweating, Du Yuming continued: "After the heavy bombing, we will adopt a ground attack to advance towards Baghdad from all directions. The tanks and heavy artillery of the four divisions are already ready for battle. As soon as the bombing is over , we will adopt a violent shelling, and then enter Baghdad in a coordinated manner by step and tank. At that time, there will be no survivors in the city. To exchange the lives of the 11 of us for the destruction of Baghdad is absolutely worth it!" Having said that, Du Yuming looked at the other party with meaningful eyes.

After listening to Du Yuming's words, the mayor of Baghdad fell into deep thought.Although he didn't believe most of what the lunatic said, he always felt that things were not as simple as he imagined. If this was arranged in advance, how could the Chinese send a small major to negotiate with him about surrendering?However, he firmly believed in Du Yuming's words that the negotiations failed to destroy Baghdad.The Hague in the Netherlands, at least during World War II, is a good example.Because the Dutch military did not hold talks on time, The Hague was razed to the ground by German Nazi Stuka bombers.

As the chief executive of Baghdad right now, he has the power and obligation to put his city into a state of emergency to resist the Chinese attack.However, for the sake of more than 120 million innocent civilians, he really has no way to issue this order.Because, once the battle starts, these innocent people will be in a desperate situation without food, water, and fuel.This is what he does not want to see.

Another more important reason is that Takira has extreme distrust of the current Iraqi government. From the first day Baghdad was bombed in May, the young Iraqi President Qassem and his trusted ministers fled the city. The capital and senior officials from other government departments have also left here one after another. It can be said that Baghdad has become a civilian city without the head of state and the government. No one declared Baghdad an undefended city, which puts the city in danger of war. In fact, the city has long been bombed by the Chinese.Now in this capital, not only is there no supreme ruler, even the commander of the army has disappeared.

In short, everything is on him, which makes the mayor feel at a loss.Although he has the determination to die, he also knows that Baghdad cannot be defended, and it is impossible to win by relying on a group of soldiers without fighting spirit and some unarmed civilians alone.At most, they could only slow down the speed of the dragon army's advance, but what they got could not be medals, but death.Now, he was chewing what Du Yuming said with extremely complicated emotions.

Seeing the other party's silence for a long time, Du Yuming heaved a sigh of relief, and the soldiers around him also heaved a long sigh of relief.To be honest, they sincerely admire their chief's ability to tell lies. They have radio stations, but these radio stations were either washed away by the river or broken in the bumps. Now they are like kites hanging outside, It is impossible to contact the large forces, and how can it be possible to contact the Air Force to launch an air strike?More importantly, if the other party refused to surrender, his lie would be exposed on the spot.

Now, there are less than 100 people who can fight in the entire consulate, and there is not much ammunition and food. Even if the surrounding dragon troops attack the city immediately, they cannot wait for their own reinforcements to rescue themselves.So, everyone looked at this crazy guy nervously, hoping that this crazy guy would stop saying anything far-fetched.

The Will of the Empire 8Chapter 16 Baghdad I Take Over

However, Du Yuming didn't care at all, he was still carelessly holding the cigarette, and looked coldly at the silent Mayor of Baghdad.For a moment, the whole venue looked very dull, so dull that even a needle could be heard clearly when it fell on the ground.

Just when everyone felt an invisible pressure, suddenly a person strode in, "Major, the headquarters is calling!" A man with the appearance of a second lieutenant appeared in front of the people, and he gave a military salute to Du Yuming.

"Read!" Du Yuming said blankly, and then he began to fumble for something in his pocket.

"Major Du Yuming, we have arrived at the ferry of the Tigris River and are preparing to cross the river. How is the situation here? If the other side is unwilling to surrender, then we will take immediate action. Commander of the Armored Corps of the Western Expeditionary Army, Lieutenant General Chen Jitang."

As soon as the words fell, the whole venue immediately exploded, and people began to whisper, and the faces of the Iraqis headed by Takila became ugly like pig liver.

"Hehe...Okay." Du Yuming stopped his hands, looked at Takila with a smile, and said slowly: "Do you hear clearly now? You don't have much time. I'm here to tell you Guaranteed, as long as you surrender, the entire city and Iraqi civilians will not be harmed." Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of motors in the sky, and then a plane marked with a five-clawed golden dragon roared from the sky. Pass.

"Look, this is our reconnaissance plane." Du Yuming pointed to the plane and said loudly: "They are doing the final reconnaissance, and I solemnly declare here that your time is running out. If you surrender, you will bear the consequences together!"

Takira's face was bloodless, he just nodded slightly, and then said: "Major, please give me a little time, I need to discuss it with my subordinates!"

"No problem!" Du Yuming pointed to his watch and said, "You only have 20 minutes..."

At 5 o'clock in the morning on May 27th, the mayor of Baghdad, the Supreme Commander of Baghdad City Defense, Takira announced the following order on the radio, "Hereby order, all soldiers and militia commanders of the main defense area of ​​Baghdad All go to the central square of Baghdad. Before that, all soldiers are not allowed to leave their posts, and everyone must stay where they are and wait for new orders.”

Give an order, and the Iraqi officers and soldiers who were staying in their own defense area began to get confused. They didn't know what happened, but since it was an order issued by the supreme commander, they had no choice but to implement it to the letter.
