As soon as Bai Shuang entered the tent, several military doctors immediately surrounded her, asking her all sorts of questions, as if they wanted to ask her every single medical question on her mind.
"Alright, alright, we can discuss medical skills another time. Let's look at the wounded first."
Medicine was scarce here, and many of the wounded soldiers' wounds had become infected and suppurated.
Bai Jiu brought the medicine box, first taking out a small cup of spiritual water, adding anti-inflammatory drugs, and sometimes fever reducers, and then giving each wounded soldier a small cup to drink.
Then, we took out the disinfectant and, together with the few military doctors, helped them shave off the pus and rotten flesh, cleaned, disinfected, sutured, and bandaged them again. Some serious cases required surgery.
They didn't finish dealing with the matter until late at night. As soon as they returned to their tents, the Northeast Army Commander sent someone to invite them over to discuss the war.
"Thank you, Dr. Bai, for treating the wounded. They all praised the medicine for its effectiveness, but your medical skills are even better!"
As soon as Lu Yu and Bai Shuang entered, the Northeast Army Commander thanked Bai Shuang.
"They deserve it; they were injured while defending their country."
The two sat down and then learned that Xiaobenzi had called to arrange a meeting.
Lu Yu: "How did they know the contact information here?"
There are connections between countries, but those are limited to the Kyoto military base; they cannot connect with other places.
"It was obtained by a spy who infiltrated the communications room of the official base."
Not long after, I received a call from the other party, who spoke fluent Chinese.
"Our commander wants to talk to you."
Let's talk.
“Our commander said that as long as you give us a piece of land, we will stop attacking you.”
"dream."
“Our leader said he never dreams; he only wants tangible land.”
The commander said that his conditions were not unreasonable at all; all we needed was a small piece of land, and then we could live in harmony.
"When our country recovers, we'll move back."
Just as the Northeast General was about to say that it was impossible, Lu Yu stopped him and took the live barrel.
"We can promise you that we will set aside a place for you, but you must also keep your promise and not bother us again."
"Yoshi, that's great! We'll definitely strive to be your friendly neighbors."
So when will you divide up the land?
"It will be cleared out soon, tomorrow, but you need to move in as soon as possible. You must finish moving in within three days."
"Why three days? That's too short."
"Because we were in a hurry to get back to the capital."
Why go back to the capital?
"Because we have run out of food, if you send us a batch of food, we will not return to the capital."
"Our commander said you should leave; we have no food left."
After waiting a while, they said again, "Our commander said that you Chinese people value reciprocity, right? There is also a kind of etiquette called 'sending someone off on their journey'."
Since you are willing to give us your land, we will also see you off when you leave, providing you with some food for your journey.
"Okay, thank you."
Lu Yu hung up the phone.
Lu Yu: "The storm is coming. We don't have much time. If they keep hiding in the ruins, we'll have no choice but to launch a full-scale attack."
A direct assault would result in too many casualties; it would be better to offer some incentives to lure them out. Once they come out, things will be much easier.
Tomorrow, we'll allocate them a clearing that's neither near water nor mountains, with a high point some distance away—the kind where snipers can ambush.
They will have nowhere to escape and no way out.
The other two army commanders nodded, "He truly deserves to be our young general!"
After discussing their plan, the two went back to rest.
………………
Meanwhile, in the basement of the ruins, a mustachioed officer asked the commander, "Will those Chinese really give us territory?"
"It's possible. They have an idiom called 'to settle things peacefully'."
"It's a year of famine, there aren't many people left, and they occupy such a large area of land but can't grow any plants, so they're really useless."
Officer: "Then what use are we if we can't grow any plants?"
"You don't understand. There's an idiom here: 'the sea changes into mulberry fields.' Just because you can't grow it now doesn't mean you can't grow it in the future."
Officer: "But they're always so cunning. What if they're trying to trick us?"
“If they dare to lie, we will use force.”
"If they leave, will we really send them food?"
"Yes, we will send them on their way, but not to the capital, but to the Western Paradise, hahaha..."
The next morning, the army prepared to assign territory to Xiaobenzi. A special team of soldiers went out in a grand manner and marked out the widest and flattest area.
This place was known as a granary before the disaster.
After the area was designated, someone called the notebook, and soon an excited voice came through the receiver.
"Yoshi, we have seen your sincerity. Don't worry, we will not attack you."
We will also provide you with food when you leave.
It's certain that someone will keep watch over Xiaobenzi; Lu Yu and his team have already had cameras installed nearby.
Lu Yu: "Tell them to move as soon as possible, otherwise we will change our minds."
Next, Lu Yu and his men kept an eye on the actions of the little notebooks while making arrangements for the battle.
In the afternoon, sure enough, a group of people were there inspecting the site, but it wasn't Little Ben himself; instead, it was people from other countries that they had captured.
If I'm not mistaken, they probably used the notebooks as free labor or as food reserves.
They were being watched as they went about every inch of the place, and the little notebook was still very cautious.
The place was flat and open, with no ambushes or hiding places. The only feasible option was to lay landmines.
If there were landmines, these people would be blown up like Ma Qianxin, while the Japanese would remain unharmed.
Upon seeing this, the three army commanders were furious. The little notebook actually used unarmed living people as mine-clearing tools; it was truly inhumane.
After clearing the mines, they had people keep watch there. At night, they sent over a batch of tents to try and identify people to stay there.
The very next day, a large number of people moved in.
Northwest Army Commander: "Aren't they worried about being attacked by us?"
Lu Yu: "They have fought against our army many times before, and they know that we are short of weapons."
Yesterday, only one helicopter came, and they didn't even take it seriously.
By the third day, they had moved quite a few people there and called the Chinese military camp again.
"We've already moved, and the provisions for your journey are ready. When will you set off?"
Northwest Army Commander: "They're not going to continue moving?"
It is clear that they did not all move there, and those who remained in the ruins were likely high-ranking officials.
Lu Yu: "They are still wary of us, but since they were able to move most of them, the plan wasn't a complete waste."
"Tell them we're setting off today, and ask them where we're going to pick up the gifts?"
