Chapter 473 The Young Lion of Baras (Updated 12/81)

When Wang Zhong's car drove across the bridge, the Baras people had been completely defeated. All the Baras soldiers had fled from the bridgehead, and the huge battlefield was littered with corpses.

and a Barras officer who stood there pointing his pistol at the 422nd tank.

It should be because Komanda had interrogated some of the Balas soldiers before, so Wang Zhong could see the name of this enemy who had not surrendered yet.

Colonel Meyer Abdullah.

Wang Zhong heard the sound of Emilia pulling the bolt of the gun beside him, and hurriedly stopped the girl: "Wait a minute!"

Emilia looked at Wang Zhong in confusion: "Why? We can't leave this Baras officer who still has the will to fight! He will regard our actions as an invasion and keep resisting!"

"Isn't this an invasion?" Colonel Barras roared in Ant language, "You invaded our country without informing us, isn't this an invasion?"

Wang Zhong: "Your country has cut off the Allied supply lines and is preparing to surrender to Plosson."

Colonel: "And then you can invade my country?"

Wang Zhong: "The Prosen people took the initiative to provoke the war and implemented a completely racist policy in the occupied country, wantonly slaughtering the inferior races in their eyes. They are evil. This war is a war between justice and evil. When you are ready to turn to the evil side, as a member of the World Anti-Fascist Alliance, it is natural for me to stop you."

The colonel sneered: "My motherland is an independent country. We are free to choose who to be our allies. You are invading my country now, you are evil, you are the same as the evil Prosen you mentioned!"

"No," Wang Zhong shouted the colonel's name loudly, "Colonel Meyer Abdullah, use your brain! How could the Prosen people, who claim to be the most outstanding nation, treat you well? If the Prosen people win this war, the Ant people will become slaves, and so will you, at most higher-level slaves."

Colonel Meyer Abdullah looked at Wang Zhong suspiciously: "Have you investigated me?"

Hmm? This reaction?

Wang Zhong decided to play it off: "This can't be considered an investigation. We just know your name."

Emilia suddenly spoke up: "Colonel Meyer Abdullah! One of the leaders of the Free Officers Corps mentioned in the intelligence!"

Wang Zhongxin was thinking, I was trying to get someone to say something, why did you take the lead?
Meyer Abdullah withdrew the pistol that was pointed at the tank and pointed it at his own head: "You actually investigated me. Don't try to use my ideas to trick me into betraying my country!"

Wang Zhong: "How can this be considered betrayal of the motherland? If the motherland is ruled by a foolish king, with starving people everywhere and people living in misery, then overthrowing the king is just and a manifestation of loyalty to the motherland.

"You are now betraying your country by helping the king oppress the people and joining the evil empire. You know that Plossen will be destroyed. Just imagine what your country will become when that time comes!"

Meier visibly hesitated.

Emilia said, "It would be a disaster if we kept him! He would..."

Wang Zhong: "He will lead Barras to fight for freedom and independence, and will drive your colonial forces out of the country. If he fails to drive you out, he will continue to fight. I know this, and I want to keep him because I know this.

"I am a secularist. We secularists support all colonial peoples' struggle for national independence."

In fact, Wang Zhong didn’t know whether this clause was included in the secular doctrine, but he felt that St. Andrew was most likely his fellow villager, and there was a high probability that this clause would be included in the secular doctrine established by his fellow villager.

Emilia frowned and stared at Wang Zhong.

But Mayer Abdullah stared at Wang Zhong with wide eyes. The expression on his face was like that of a person who had been walking in the dark for a long time and saw the dawn in the sky, or like a ship that had been floating in the storm for a long time and saw the light of a lighthouse.

But he immediately frowned and shouted, "I've seen a lot of sugar-coated bullets like this. They're all empty promises, and none of them are truly practical!"

Wang Zhong: "Look at the expression of the lady next to me. The look in her eyes just now could kill me. Would I risk the rift between my allies by writing you a blank check? Besides, how much loss would I suffer if I shot you at this moment? Nothing at all!

“The royal brother chosen by the United Kingdom will still become the new king. The influence of the United Kingdom radiating from Bahara will penetrate deeper into Baras, and we secularists will continue to spread secularism in the north of Baras.

"Some local tribes have converted to secularism. Their leader is called Bahram. Do you know him? When the contradictions between the United Kingdom's compradors and the secular tribes become irreconcilable, civil war will break out.

"The secular tribes will get support from Ant, and the compradors will have weapons continuously shipped in through Bahara. Just think about it, Meyer Abdullah! Just think about it!"

Meier kept the pistol pointed at his temple and fell into deep thought.

Finally, he slowly removed the gun from his temple.

At this moment, a naval infantryman in a black sailor uniform rushed forward, snatched the pistol and tried to throw Abdullah to the ground.

Wang Zhong: “No need!”

The Marines who were trying to grab the guns stopped.

The naval infantry who were planning to come up from the other side to help contain Mayer Abdullah also stopped.

Wang Zhong: "Give the gun back to him." "General!" the marine infantry and Emilia shouted together.

Wang Zhong: "Pull the gun back to him. He won't shoot at himself or me anymore."

The Marine infantryman quickly returned the gun to Meyer Abdullah.

"What do you mean?" Meier demanded, gun in hand.

Wang Zhong: "I am fighting against the devil's invasion for my country. You are the same, but you have mistaken who is the devil. You were blinded by appearances. But now you can see clearly."

Meier turned the safety of his gun off and put it in its holster. "What if I saw it clearly? Am I any use to you?"

"Yes, you can mobilize those officers who share the same ideals as you, so that they can see clearly who the devil is, and who they should fight against!"

As Wang Zhong said this, he climbed out of the tank, jumped to the ground in three steps, and strode towards Abdullah.

Emilia was shocked: "You can't get close to an enemy with weapons like this!"

The Marines looked set to stop him, too.

Wang Zhong shouted: "I am approaching our new friend! He can speak Ant language, which means he has understood the thoughts of Saint Andrew!"

The naval infantry were somewhat unconvinced at first and tried to stop Wang Zhong by force, but when they heard "Saint Andrew's Thoughts", they all looked at Abdullah.

“You are right,” said Meyer Abdullah.

Wang Zhong then walked through the soldiers and came to Meyer Abdullah, and held out his hand to him: "Dawalishi, nice to meet you."

Meier did not reach out. "I still don't understand. What can we do?"

Wang Zhong: "The intelligence we received said that the Balas Royal Guards had a poor fighting spirit, but when the tanks drove over, I saw many bodies of Balas soldiers. They all died on the way to the charge.

"Their fighting spirit is very strong, and I think it has something to do with you and your Free Officers Corps."

At this time, Wang Zhong heard the Angsa language behind him. He turned around and saw a Komanda officer wearing a green beret standing not far away, looking at Abdullah and saying something.

The fair-skinned scholar beside him translated, "Captain Komanda said that these Baras soldiers were indeed very brave, which shocked him - and all Komanda."

Meier: "We have been trying to instill in the soldiers the belief of defending the country. Just now, the division commander and senior officers wanted to save a prince and lead the troops to counterattack. But they all died, and our Free Officers Corps took control of the troops.

"I can see you're running low on ammunition, so I'm continuing the attack."

Wang Zhong shook his head. “Your belief is worthy of recognition, but unfortunately you have mistaken the enemy. At the same time, your command skills are very poor. When you found that the enemy was running out of ammunition, you let the soldiers use their lives to consume the enemy’s ammunition. I would never agree with this decision. If it was at the Suvorov Military Academy, I would give you zero points and question your qualities to become a qualified officer.”

Meier frowned: "Then what should we do to ..."

"There are mountains all around here. The correct approach is to retreat into the mountains and continue to resist. Of course, this is hypothetical. Maybe one day in the future you will have to resist real invaders. At that time, you must not use the lives of your soldiers to consume the invaders' ammunition."

Wang Zhong paused and continued, "You must avoid the invaders' sharp edge, mobilize the people widely, launch guerrilla warfare with the support of the people, specifically attack the invaders' supply lines, sneak attack the isolated small invaders' troops, come and go without a trace..."

Meyer Abdullah's eyes lit up: "General, please teach me!"

Wang Zhong: "This is too complicated to teach. You can come to the Suvorov Military Academy to study after the war. Back to the current issue, I want you to tell your companions who the enemy is and let them bring all the loyal and combat-capable troops to our side.

"After we overthrow the incompetent current king, you can come to Ant and learn war in war. When the war is over, you will gain sophisticated tactical skills and great reputation. When you return to Barras, you will have a vast world and great potential!"

Emilia said quickly: "He is deceiving you! He is making false promises for you!"

Wang Zhong pointed at Emilia with his thumb and said, "Look, she's getting anxious. Do you understand what I mean?"

Meyer Abdullah shook his head: "No, I won't let my people go to Ante to be cannon fodder."

Wang Zhong frowned.

But Meier immediately changed the subject: "But we do need to learn about war. It is wrong to let the soldiers who trust us use their lives to consume the enemy's ammunition."

Wang Zhong's frown immediately relaxed: "Then I'll leave it to you."

At that time, Wang Zhong did not know that this Mayer Abdullah would later become the "Lion of Baras". He was just happy that he could incite a part of Baras's troops to rebel and reduce the casualties of his own troops.
