Mediterranean hegemon

As soon as they heard that they would not have to work under the scorching sun for a higher salary and could learn how to drive a car, many families rushed to sign up. This is when Huang Xinguo's ability as a translator came to the fore. He was well organized and was quickly selected. More than 500 people. Why more is needed, he explained this way: more preparations can eliminate those who are not serious and unadapted. Dr. Toth was interested in the idea and asked him how he came up with it.

Xiao Huang spread his hands and said: "I learned from the president. Doesn't his oil guard have a surplus of troops? Those naughty elements who complained a lot after arriving in Libya and could not adapt were all sent back home."

Tot nodded, as if this was the case, he didn't seem to expect it. [North Africa Trip 5 can be seen on the public account, it doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, it will not affect the follow-up...]

"Doctor, it's not that you didn't expect it, but the performance of Chinese workers is pretty good. After all, Chinese people are relatively hard-working. Even the most idle people in our eyes can barely make it to the middle of the pack according to Italian evaluation standards. If they are like Italian and French workers, People who are idle, like drinking, bragging, and picking up girls, China is much worse than it is now." Huang Xinguo thought for a while, "Of course United Group is an exception. The management level and labor discipline I have witnessed in United Group are the best in Italy. It’s much better than France!”

"So why is China so much less powerful than France or Italy?"

Huang Xinguo sighed: "Because the Chinese people are not united! When there are more people, they have all kinds of ideas, and they are also greedy for petty profits and immediate interests. You see, the president has repeatedly issued orders not to allow us to work in Italy. There are still people with brains. I have the flexibility to go to Italy or France because I heard the wages there are higher. If they didn't understand the language and didn't have official documents to prove it, and the oil security guards were tight, there would have been a lot of trouble... So I strongly agree with strengthening management and using... Fascist ideological management, if repeated orders and five orders are not enough, the supervisor must have a whip! You see, he doesn’t like to queue up, but he became more honest after a few whips. I think the difference in discipline between China and Germany is almost heavenly. Underground! The president always says that Italians are unruly and unreliable, but they are still much better than us.”

"That is to say, the Chinese. If you dare to do this to the French, I will probably go on strike tomorrow until you are paralyzed."

Huang Xinguo sneered: "The French will eventually end up doing this by themselves! In comparison, German workers are very good, and German engineers are even better. Originally, I also wanted to be an engineer."

"You don't seem to have a high opinion of your fellow citizens either."

"These are all shortcomings of insufficient education. They can be changed, but it will take a long time. Also, I personally think that the Chinese are not suitable for democracy for the time being. Even the president said that Italy wants to be rich and powerful but not free, let alone China... it is far away Very good!”

"You admire the president and leader?"

"Personally, I admire the president even more!"

Toth patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Huang, do your best. The president thinks highly of you. I will go back to Germany one day. There are so many Chinese workers here and it will be more appropriate for you to take charge of them in the future."

"I can't command." Huang Xinguo smiled bitterly, "I have to tell you about another problem of the Chinese people: they worship foreigners and favor foreigners. It's the foreigners who control them. If they can be more honest, a young man like me can't hold the position. So a person like the CEO can only be found in Italy. Who in China would obey a young man like you, even if your father is a minister?”

Toth shook his head: "It's hard to understand you Chinese... By the way, it's also hard to understand the Japanese!"

Huang Xinguo smiled: "It is also difficult for China and Japan to understand each other."

With the rapid dispatch of oil guards, the more than 2,000 Italian Army troops who were in trouble in the hinterland of the Libyan desert were finally found. In fact, there was no sign of an ambush by tribal armed forces around them. Heat, sandstorms, lack of water, food, and poisonous scorpions underground It was enough to torment them to death, and the tribal armed forces who had brought them into a desperate situation had long since escaped by taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain.

Fortunately, this Italian force still had radios, fortunately the reconnaissance planes could still detect their whereabouts, and fortunately Contini had just prepared barrels of water and enough planes. Otherwise, all these 2,000-plus people would have to turn into withered corpses in the desert and eventually be picked up by vultures or buried in the yellow sand.

Despite this, more than 200 people still died due to various reasons. However, compared with the total army destruction of more than 2,000 people in history, the 10% attrition rate is still within the barely bearable range.

After returning to the station dejectedly, Truz also felt that the matter was difficult. This incident sounded the alarm for him. The strategy of hoping to use separate attacks, rapid encirclement and suppression, and ending the battle was simply ineffective. The tribal armed forces were not needed at all. To fight you head-on, all they need to do is hide and seek and run in circles with you, which is enough to kill them. Judging from this time, once the tactics of the tribal armed forces succeed, they will have zero casualties, while thousands of Italians will be killed in one attack. I am afraid Mussolini will kill himself.

"This won't work. We must use stupid methods to block, centralize, monitor, and compress..." Contini suggested, "We must proceed steadily, step by step, and do it bit by bit."

"But there are hundreds of thousands of Bedouins!"

"So we need to concentrate more. Although the guerrillas come and go without a trace, there is a rule that they must be active among these people. They can't pretend to be Chinese or Italians!" Contini explained, "To catch fish, using a net is of course a way, but draining the water and turning the pool into a muddy land is also a way. Although the latter is slow to take effect, it can be solved once and for all."

Truz looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's not easy to maintain a concentration camp for hundreds of thousands of people."

"It's not easy..." Contini smiled grimly, "Do you need my advice on what to do?"

"This will cause a sharp decrease in population."

"Does anyone blame you?"

"But the labor force!"

"We don't need them." Contini frowned. Yi Yang said, "I don't want any Bedouin. Chinese workers are much more reliable than them."

"Well, I have a worry. Will there be too many Chinese and then..."

Contini was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Chinese are different from them. The possibility you mentioned is not impossible, but it is extremely weak. Rather than worrying about Chinese people gathering to cause trouble, I am more worried about the spread of Bolsheviks among the crowd. So I asked Italian soldiers, bureaucrats and oil guards to be polite to the Chinese. As long as they are not forced too hard, they will not rise up to resist. In addition, they cannot be given the opportunity to master weapons for the time being. So I rejected the Chinese patrol you proposed last time without hesitation. The oil guards can be asked to do patrols!"
