Chapter 1788： Hungarian prisoners of war

Soon, the big three of Schwarz, Stade and Wagner in Aurich came to the meeting room to discuss the issue of sending troops with Marin. In fact, Kahn is also a big man in the military, but Marlin can only ignore him if he has strength and no brain. Of course, Kahn will also attend the meeting, but generally no useful suggestions can be made, it is purely a mascot. As for the other heads of army, Steindorff is stationed in the east, Heinkes is in Goslar, and Saqqara and Siwag are on the British side ...

Therefore, Marin could only discuss with Schwarz, Stade and Wagner, the three army leaders in Aurich. After several people held a meeting, they always believed that Cuba was very important and could not be tolerated. After all, Cuba is now the main producer of tropical specialties such as sugar, sisal, and rubber in the North Sea country. Moreover, it is also rich in tropical fruits, which is of great significance to the North Sea country.

Even if Tara is eager to fight, several big men do not think that the Cuban army can leave at will. However, Tara ’s letter was correct, and after the new army arrived in Haiti, it did have a few months to adapt and could not fight immediately. But Tara ’s army has fought for ten years in the tropical rain forest and has rich experience. The island of Haiti and the island of Cuba are adjacent, and the climate is similar. It is indeed appropriate to dispatch the army of Cuba Island to suppress the resistance of Haiti Island ...

How to do it……

At this time, after thinking for a long time, the head of the Second Army Corps Wagner hesitated and proposed:

"Your Majesty, maybe we can try to send reinforcements to the island of Cuba ..." Marin is now king, and everyone changed his name to His Majesty.

"Send reinforcements to the island of Cuba? What do you mean?" Marin froze.

Wagner explained:

"That's it, Your Majesty, Tara is not saying that after the soldier suddenly arrives in the tropics, will it take a few months for it to adapt to the local climate?"

Marin nodded and motioned for him to continue. Wagner continued:

"Since there is a revision anyway, why do n’t we arrange reinforcements in the Havana colony of Cuba? In this way, Havana has enough troops, so you do n’t have to worry about the accident. Governor Tara ’s 2000 adapts to the local climate and is good at jungle war veterans. , Can we free up to go to Haiti to fight? "

At this time, Kahn, the "mascot" at the meeting, opened his mouth and asked:

"However, those reinforcements arrived in Havana and could not fight. They could not be used to suppress the local resistance if they did not repair for a few months ..."

Wagner explained:

"Sir Kahn, this is the case. After the reinforcements arrived in Havana, they were stationed in the barracks, and the people outside did not know that they were temporarily dissatisfied. Moreover, when they went out to work as supervisors, there was a local security team (puppet army) ) Come forward, no regular army is needed. These people live in the barracks, even if they are unwell, outsiders do not know. I remember His Majesty once said-existence is a deterrent! As long as this support army is stationed in the Havana barracks, the local People do n’t dare to act rashly. As long as they do n’t take the initiative to show their feet, it ’s okay. ”

"Furthermore, even if there is a problem, this group of people may not be able to enter the local rainforest to suppress the local riots, but it is no problem to guard the castle of Havana. At that time, it will be no big deal to call back the original Havana veterans on the island of Haiti. Suppress chant ... "

After Marin listened, his brow furrowed for a while, but he quickly spread his eyes. Obviously, he agreed with Wagner's proposal.

Indeed, after the arrival of these batches of reinforcements, it is necessary to repair for several months. Rather than wasting time on Santo Domingo, Haiti, it is better to go to Havana, Cuba. By the way, the 2000 veterans under Tara who are good at tropical jungle warfare were exchanged to Haiti Island to fight. With Tara ’s 2000 veterans who are proficient in tropical rainforest operations, and then put on a rhinoceros armor that is not afraid of bows and arrows, it is not a problem to complete the abuse of Carlos ’s indigenous resistance army!

However, Stade also put forward different views on the number of reinforcements. Stade believes that sooner or later the Cuban island will be conquered. After all, more than half of the indigenous people on the island are not under the management of the colonial authorities.

Therefore, this time it is better to take advantage of this opportunity and send enough troops to stay permanently on the island of Cuba. After they had adapted to the local climate, and Tara ’s colonial army returned from the war, they simply followed Tara ’s veterans and swept all the indigenous tribes on the island of Cuba.

"So, how much reinforcement do you think is appropriate?" Marin asked with a frown.

"At least 3,000! With Tara ’s original 2,000 men, 5,000 soldiers and horses are enough to sweep the entire island of Cuba! In addition, Haiti will also need to permanently station some soldiers and horses to pillage the island ’s population. Therefore, we should send 1,000 more Soldiers ... "

"Stop ..." Schwartz, the military minister in charge of the military, interrupted Stade's speech:

"Leader Stadt, according to your thoughts, this time it is necessary to send 4000 soldiers! This is almost half of the legion! Besides, are those soldiers willing to go to such a hot place?"

Stade smiled and said:

"Sir Schwartz, I have already thought about it. Your Majesty, sirs, have you forgotten the tens of thousands of Hungarian prisoners of war at the Rammelsberg Silver Mine in Goslar?"

"You mean ... picking soldiers from those prisoners of war? Are you afraid of their rebellion?" Schwartz frowned.

Stade explained:

"Those Hungarian prisoners of war have been working in the mine for a year, and with the promotion of German education and pastor education (brainwashing) by His Majesty, there are already many Hungarian prisoners of war who can speak more fluent German. Moreover, there is nothing loyal to His Majesty It ’s a problem. Maybe tens of thousands of people ca n’t do it faithfully, but it ’s okay to pick 4,000 people out. ”

"However, according to the original plan, they were sent to the North American colony for farming ..." Schwartz was unsure.

Stade confidently said:

"Yes, this was originally arranged. But it is different now. Your Majesty said that she intends to select hundreds of thousands of men and women from Haiti to farm in the North American colony. So, then, do the Hungarian prisoners of war go to North America? Land, that ’s not so important. Because those Taino men and women can grow land as well. Moreover, they are more honest and easy to control than Hungarians. Therefore, we might as well choose thousands of honest and obedient from Hungarian prisoners of war and join The colonial army, helping to conquer the indigenous people of Cuba and Haiti ... "

Kahn interjected at this moment:

"That's right, but those Hungarian prisoners of war would be happy to go to such a hot place? You know, for going to tropical colonies, His Majesty's principles are voluntary."

Stade waved his hand:

"They will be willing, after all, mining every day is much harder than fighting the indigenous soldiers!"

Everyone thought, it really is! Although Cuba and Haiti are a bit hot, it ’s not hard to be a soldier. After all, mining in silver mines is going to go down every day. Not only hard work, but also dangerous. Going to Cuba and Haiti as a soldier is much better than mining. Moreover, welfare is different.

Marin listened silently for a long time and thought for a while. In the end, he agreed with Stad ’s suggestion-from the more than 50,000 young Hungarian prisoners of war, we selected 4,000 honest prisoners who were brainwashed and spoke German. Fully recruited, sent to the Cuban island and incorporated into the colonial army ...

In addition, Marin will also ask the Goslar Silver Mine Management Department ~ www.novelhall.com ~ to review the records, mainly to see which prisoners of war prefer summer. Such people can adapt to the tropics more easily. And those who are afraid of heat are more likely to be unacceptable in the tropics ...

Of course, Marin will not simply send 4000 Hungarian prisoners of war, he is also worried about the accident? In addition to the 4,000 Hungarian prisoners of war, Marin also sent 1,000 veterans willing to go to Cuba to serve as grassroots officers to control the reinforcements composed of these 4,000 Hungarian prisoners of war, lest this army be distracted ...

In other words, Marin sent a total of 5,000 reinforcements this time, plus the original 2,000. At this time, the total number of colonial troops in the Cuban colony had reached 7,000. Marin remembered that during the Latin American War of Independence in the early 19th century, there were more than 7,000 soldiers and horses in the Governorate of Spain and Peru. The forces of Bolivar and San Martin are only a few thousand each. Marin dispatched 7,000 colonial troops all at once, which was actually a very powerful force. Even, it is no problem to sweep Latin America.

The only problem is that the tropical rain forests on Cuba Island and Haiti Island are complicated. To fight in the jungle and plunder the local population, so many soldiers and horses are indeed needed. Unless learning from Spain, start to occupy only coastal areas. As for civilized areas with few forests, such as the Inca Empire and the Aztec Empire, it is better to conquer. Because, by directly sending an army to defeat the main force of the two countries, you can control the local area. Unlike in the tropical rain forest, it requires a lot of manpower ...
