The wind roars up the silent wasteland, blowing the lush weeds in the mountains and swaying continuously.

In front of the two armies

Li Yong was invited to talk to Italian colonel Pellini alone. The two of them rode their horses to the front and looked carefully.

Colonel Pellini was very gentlemanly and took the lead in a knight ceremony. Li Yong immediately bowed to show his face. He had a premonition... The Italians could not fight anymore.

"Dear Mr. Li, we are not unfamiliar with your reputation. Unfortunately, when you meet on such occasions, your barbaric attack will cause serious losses to us. This may lead to a terrible situation where both sides officially start a war. Have you ever thought about such serious consequences?"

Li Yong replied coldly, "Mr. Colonel, I do not want to repeat our position. I have already made it clear in the letter that any continued violation of Edtown will be regarded as a direct war."

"Obviously, there is a deviation in our understanding, which directly leads to the terrible situation that has emerged. I believe this is something that neither you nor I want to see..." Colonel Pellini was not surprised by the other party's toughness. He had already deeply understood this late last night.

Although Earl Desantis has set the tone of peace talks, as the commander representing Italian interests, Colonel Pellini still tries to strive for more favorable conditions. This has nothing to do with sentiment, but just a different position.

So he continued, "The terrible war spreads death and fear, which every responsible gentleman would not want to see. The army of the Kingdom of Italy is committed to spreading the gospel of the Lord and bringing mercy and love to this primitive and wild continent. Based on this, we are willing to resolve the differences between the two sides through non-violent means."

This set of euphemism like a tongue twister reveals the original intention... peace talks.

Although he had a premonition in his heart, Li Yong was still stunned for a moment, his eyes swept across the Italian army in the distance, pondering without answering immediately.

The Italian army still had two thousand people, lined up in an orderly line in front of the battle. You can see several heavy machine guns and no less than 6 field guns. The black muzzles pointed forward, and it still seemed that they had the power to fight.

Li Yong didn't know that the Italians put all the minor wounded people who could move into the back row of the queue, and all the soldiers had become frightened birds, and as long as the cavalry had an impact, they would blow up the nest.

Objectively speaking, Italians are very good at doing superficial articles.

Li Yong considered that the casualties were too great if the frontal attack was too high, peace talks seemed to be a good choice.

The advantage of cavalry is that they can freely choose the battlefield, fight when they want to fight, and retreat when they want to retreat. The initiative is firmly controlled in their hands. In addition, it seriously weakens the enemy, and it is inevitable to achieve the final victory.

However, the militia is not without weaknesses. It is only 7 kilometers away from Ed Town. Ruoyi Army resolutely approaches Ed Town despite the harassment and obscene integration group. It only takes two to three hours to reach.

By then, there will be few choices left for Li Yong.

Ed Town just surrounded a small town with wooden fences. It is used to resist the invasion of wild animals on weekdays. It is like a paper in the face of enemy artillery fire. When it comes to this point, it is either to fight bloody battles or evacuate decisively. There seems to be no third option.

Then property worth hundreds of thousands of pounds will be either destroyed by war or captured by the enemy.

Thinking of this

Li Yong said in a deep voice, "Do you hope to have a peace talk?"

"If you understand this way, it's OK. It doesn't matter. We would rather call it a solution to the differences between the two sides through non-violent means." Colonel Pellini cunningly changed the concept.

Once investigated in the future

The Italian side will never admit that it was a formal peace talk, which would be like revealing its bloody scars to the world, and admitting that it had suffered a shameful defeat, which is something that the Italian side would never accept.

The two official words "peace talks" are obviously too formal.

Li Yong looked at the other party deeply and said in a calm tone; "On the contrary, I think this issue is not optional, and formal peace talks can better demonstrate the sincerity of peace."

"That's probably not something we can solve. We need the authorization of the African Expeditionary Force Command. You obviously want the military and political officials of the Somalia province in Africa to come forward, instead of sending a few mercenaries to talk to us. How can we guarantee our own interests if we cannot participate in it in person?" Colonel Pellini spread his hands and showed sincerity.

"How to ensure that the terms of the talks can be enforced?"

"It's very simple, because we don't want what happened last night to be a sensation, and you don't want the war to destroy Edtown, we both have a need to sit down and talk."

"Haha... I'm afraid you overestimate yourself, we have the confidence to guard our home."

"I have to say you are too naive. Mr. Li, the attack that happened last night will cause shock to the government and the public. What you are facing is not the encirclement of thousands of soldiers, but the devastating attacks of the powerful Royal Italian Navy armored battleships, including Ed Town, Asab and Xi'an, they will be bombed into white land. The Kingdom of Italy will formally declare war on Australia, and such serious consequences are absolutely unbearable."

Li Yong's face changed when he said this. It was really possible to think about it.

Even if this possibility is only 1/10, Li Yong is unwilling to take risks with all his wealth because he can't afford to bet.

"Well, I agree, I hope you keep your promise."

"Please rest assured Mr. Li, we hope to reach a tacit understanding on something, which is the best result for both sides, so that we can end everything in this disaster as soon as possible."

"Our condition is that the Italian army cannot move forward further, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation of the tacit understanding between the two sides and starts again. You can send representatives to Edtown to discuss. By the way, we still have some prisoners here, and you must be interested." Li Yong had a victorious smile on his lips, turned his horse's head and left.

Soon the sound of retreating troops rang out, and the huge militia cavalry team shouted happily and left, leaving only a large piece of grass that was trampled on.

Experienced last night's battle

The mercenaries saw the weakness of the Italian soldiers, who seemed to be much easier to deal with than the Dutch and the Portuguese.

If you plan carefully in advance, you would have the opportunity to remove all heavy machine gun positions and enter the camp before the Italian soldiers organized an effective counterattack to completely solve this invading enemy.

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and once the opportunity is lost, it will never come again.

Li Yong agreed to the other party's request for secret talks, because this ending is more in line with his interests. In essence, he is a large smuggler and mercenary leader, rather than an army commander who executes the order to annihilate the enemy, and insists on fighting with the enemy to death.

He did not forget that there were more than 10,000 indigenous tribal warriors outside Ed Town.

Li Yong's order to these fat sheep who came to the door was very simple; "Around them and defeat them, and make sure that no one escapes the net."

The chief of the Tigray tribe really misbelieve the Italians. He summoned all tribal warriors who fled into the mountains and came to take revenge with hope, hoping to defeat the abominable Orientals and return to their ancestral lands. As a result, he was ruthless betrayal and slaughter.

The process will not be repeated

The whole process seemed like a large-scale hunting. Li Yong led a large group of cavalry to surround the black natives, and the final outcome was already destined.

The worried Italians are busy treating the injured and cleaning up the mess, and have long forgotten these local indigenous people.

In the evening, the sunset is like blood

Li Yong stood on the hill with a high spirit of horseback riding a horse, surrounded by a large number of cheerful mercenary leaders, pointing at the battlefield.

Corpse are everywhere on the wasteland, broken swords, guns and shields are scattered everywhere.

Driven by fully armed mercenaries, teams of native black prisoners were dejected towards Edtown, and the sunset reflected their lonely and hopeless figures, looking so bleak.

"Hahahaha... That's great, this is a big profit. These strong prisoners are the best coolies."

"Nonsense, do you need to say it?"

"I want to tell you, these Italians are really good. They summoned all these black natives and caught them all in one go, so that we could not catch them all over the mountains and fields."

"My plantation is worried about not having labor, so I'm here...hahahaha...so good."

The mercenary leaders were smiling happily. For them, these black prisoners of war were all money. The nearby Chinese farms and plantations required a large amount of manpower, and the opening of mountains and roads also required coolies. These black indigenous people who came to the door were simply a surprise.

At this time

A fast horse rushed over, and the messenger came to the hills and turned over and dismounted. He ran upward for more than ten steps and came closer. He presented a telegram with both hands and said, "Yong Ye, the emergency telegram from Xi'an."

Li Yong took the telegram and opened it to read the content, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

The battle situation in Ed Town was reported to Xi'an City in real time through telegrams, and the Somali Garrison Headquarters reported to the African General Headquarters. As for the situation further upwards, Li Yong didn't know.

The content of the telegram is simple;

Li Yong was ordered to be the plenipotentiary representative of the negotiations and try to obtain control of the Molgada area. In addition, the construction of the highway required 4,000 black indigenous prisoners, and 1,000 were needed for the Great Hanish Islands, and sufficient number was needed to be reserved for spare.

It is easy to say that black people are prisoners. The total number of prisoners is about 11,000 to 12,000. 5,000 people are taken away at once, and the compensation is estimated to be very limited. But since the above has spoken, no mercenary leader dares to speak out, and he is simply uncomfortable.

If the above really wants to check, the bottom of the butt will be clean, and it will be light for the house to be confiscated and thrown into the hard labor camp. Ninety-nine percent will go directly to the gallows.

Originally, there were a few guys in Xi'an who were blindly blind and were directly cleaned up by Weiwu Headquarters. The body was hung on the gallows on the edge of the desert and had been dried into white bones and skeletons. All the family wealth was confiscated, and the wife and daughter became someone else's.

This reminds all the arrogant mercenary leaders;

On this acre of three-point land in Somalia, Red Fort is the real big shot behind it. It is the dragon and the tiger lying. Do you not pay taxes when doing business without capital?

What made Li Yong frown was not the indigenous prisoners, but the command from the higher authorities to the Molgada area, which was difficult to deal with!

Eritrea is divided into the eastern section, the middle section and the western section. The eastern section is about 360 kilometers long along the coastline, and there are three main towns. These three towns are lined up along the Red Coast, namely Molgarda, Ed and Asab. From Asab continues to the southeast, it arrives at Xi'an-City.

Now Ed and Asab are in the control of the local Chinese People's Republic of Somalia Province, Molgada is occupied by the Italians, so they will not give it up easily.
