The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

After receiving Long Fei's order, Xie Qiang immediately released the more than 400,000 prisoners.

However, Xie Qiang had no good feelings towards the Russians, and he noticed that they had already finished eating the food they carried with them.

Xie Qiang ordered that each of them be given only one box of compressed biscuits.

This box of compressed biscuits can only last them two or three days at most.

When the prisoners of the Rakshasa Kingdom were about to be released, they thought that the government must have intervened and mediated with the Dragon Flame Legion.

So they became smug again and protested that a box of compressed biscuits was not enough, and also demanded that they be provided with drinking water and a water bottle.

Xie Qiang wouldn't tolerate them, and immediately announced it with a loudspeaker.

"Giving you a box of compressed biscuits is already an extraordinary favor. Take it if you want, or take it back if you don't."

"As for drinking water and water bottles, there are none. You are in the grasslands. If you are thirsty, drink water from the streams. If you are hungry, eat grass. Anyone who makes trouble again will be shot on the spot."

Faced with Xie Qiang's tough attitude, the prisoners from the Rakshasa Kingdom immediately fell silent, fearing that they would be captured and shot by Xie Qiang.

And so, more than 400,000 prisoners, supporting each other, like a swarm of ants, stumbled northward across the vast grasslands.

As a result, the prisoners from the Russian Kingdom walked for more than ten days before reaching a place called Yamarovka, where they finally received some food.

However, these prisoners suffered a lot in the past ten days or so. They drank unclean water in the wild, and most of them had diarrhea.

Moreover, they were so hungry that they could only eat grass to fill their stomachs. In the end, they were all skin and bones, and it would take them a month or two to recover.

Xie Qiang looked at the massive amount of weapons and equipment that had been stored in the subsystem's storage room and was overjoyed.

He knew that so many spoils could be exchanged for a lot of weapons and equipment.

Next, Xie Qiang led his troops to Ulaanbaatar to meet with Xu Peng, and together they went to the airport to welcome Long Fei's arrival.

After a brief exchange, Long Fei requested to see Amar immediately.

After being captured by Qiao Bashan and sent to the Rakshasa Kingdom, Amar was subjected to torture and abuse.

Therefore, after being sent back by the Rakshasa Kingdom, Xie Qiang ordered that he be immediately sent to the hospital for treatment.

Although Amar was not in mortal danger, he was very weak, so Long Fei had no choice but to go straight to the hospital ward.

Amar had just fallen asleep. Long Fei sat silently by his bedside, not waking him, but waiting patiently.

However, the pain all over his body prevented Amar from falling asleep. When he turned over, he touched his wounds, cried out in pain, and then woke up.

Suddenly seeing a young and handsome general in a lieutenant general's uniform sitting in front of the bed, Amar instinctively tried to sit up, supporting himself with his arms.

He was just too weak, and his arms went limp, and he failed.

Seeing this, Long Fei smiled slightly, stood up, and helped him sit up.

"Thank you. May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Long Fei, I am the commander of the Longyan Legion, and I am also your savior."

Amar looked bewildered, not understanding why the Rakshasa Kingdom had suddenly released him and sent him back to Ulaanbaatar.

Amar asked weakly, "General Long, did you save me?"

Long Fei nodded and said seriously, "I'll tell you the details after you've recovered."

"What I'm about to tell you concerns the fate and future of horses."

Upon hearing this, Amar not only seemed somewhat excited, but his eyes also shone brightly.

"General Long, please speak."

“Ulaanbaatar is now under the control of my Dragon Flame Legion, and Qiao Bashan and his accomplices have all been captured by us.”

"Qiao Bashan has declared himself king and divided the country; he's doomed."

Upon hearing this, Amar smiled with relief, thinking that his great revenge had finally been achieved.

“I know that although you were the prime minister before, you have always opposed surrendering to the Russian Kingdom, so I want you to succeed Qiao Bashan and become the leader of the horseback.”

Amar nodded decisively: "No problem, I'm willing to take on this responsibility."

Long Fei then said in a serious tone, "Don't agree so readily. I have some requirements. You can agree only if you can meet them."

"Alright, General Long, please speak."

"First, my Dragon Flame Legion will station troops here, and we will be responsible for the safety of the horseback riders for the time being."

"Second, cancel the previous referendum on independence in Mabei. You must announce to the world that Mabei will always be an inseparable part of China."

"Third, expel all the Rakshasa people from the Mabei territory. You may trade and communicate with them, but you are not allowed to let them take root in Mabei."

"Can you meet these three requirements?"

Amar pondered for a moment, then looked up and firmly agreed.

"General Long, I agree to all three of your conditions. In fact, I have never approved of independence on horseback, let alone relying on the Rakshasa Kingdom."

"Throughout history, the Russian nation has been a wolf in sheep's clothing, extremely shameless, and completely untrustworthy."

Long Fei was satisfied with Amar's answer, but still gave him a necessary warning.

"I am satisfied with your answer, but I must warn you that I expect you to keep your word and do what you say, otherwise I will show you no mercy."

Even a man from the grasslands has his bold and heroic side, Amar replied immediately.

"You saved my life, and I dare not lie to my savior. Moreover, if I break my promise, you may take my life."

Having said all that, Long Fei naturally chose to believe Amar's sincerity.

So he told him to rest and recover, and then left the hospital.

When Xu Peng and Xie Qiang saw Long Fei come out, they immediately went to greet him.

"Commander, where are you planning to go next?"

Long Fei didn't answer, but instead asked, "How's the security in Amar?"

Xu Peng immediately replied, "I've assigned a platoon of special forces members to handle security; there shouldn't be any problems."

Long Fei shook his head: "One platoon isn't enough. We need to transfer a company over. Right now, there's a power vacuum. Those high-ranking princes and living Buddhas on horseback still have the desire to seize power and become independent. We need to guard against them taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble."

"Yes, I understand, I'll arrange it right away." Xu Peng then went to issue the order.

After Xu Peng returned, Long Fei said directly, "Now we need to act decisively and establish our authority. Come on, take me to see Qiao Bashan."

Upon arriving at the prison, Long Fei saw Qiao Bashan curled up on his bed in his cell, so he called out to him.

"Qiao Bashan, you never expected this day to come, did you?"

Qiao Bashan raised his head, looked at Long Fei standing outside the prison door, and asked with narrowed eyes.

"who are you?"

"I am Long Fei, the commander of the Dragon Flame Legion."

"Are you here to laugh at me? History is all about the victors and the vanquished. Maybe one day you'll end up like me."

Long Fei chuckled: "I know very well what will happen to you, but you'll never see what will happen to me in the future."

"Tomorrow, you and your accomplices will be publicly tried and executed on charges of splitting the country and selling out the nation for personal gain."

Qiao Bashan's body twitched suddenly, then he stared at Long Fei with a venomous look.

"Public trial? What a joke! Your Dragon Flame Legion is nothing, what right do you have to publicly try me?"

Long Fei immediately retorted, "If you have the power, you have the right to do so. When you were in power before, you could arrest whoever you wanted."

Qiao Bashan fell silent, but his expression still showed his resentment.

However, this was not important to Long Fei: "Your orchestrated independence referendum on horseback has failed. Amar will take control of horseback, and horseback will return to the embrace of China."

"I'm telling you all this so that you'll die with regrets, so that you, this traitor, will die with your eyes wide open in disbelief."
