《1855 American Tycoon》Chapter 83: A Miracle With Great Strength (part 4)

"Bastards, these bastards! Do they think I'm a fool?" Although it was already late at night, the general's angry roar could still be heard in General Giule's tent.
"And you, you idiots, do you just believe what they say? Pooh, you can increase your courage if you eat it, and you can make the temporarily recruited troops fight fearlessly like elites' Daliwan'? Do you believe this too? Have you read too many third-rate knight novels? Damn, it!"
"General, we..." An officer tried to justify.
At this time, General Giule, who had vented a lot, calmed down a little, so he glanced at the officer and said, "What are you doing, tell me."
"General, that's right. We interrogated the prisoners captured by the cavalry separately, but after the interrogation, all the prisoners gave the same statement, so..."
"So you all believe it? You guys are so naive and naive! Do you know the Duke of Wellington in England? He is a real example of a soldier, much better than you. I used to talk and laugh with him, Duke Tell me that the French sometimes prepare their lies after being captured before the battle, so even if the prisoners are interrogated separately, the confessions obtained may not be reliable, even if they are consistent. The Sardinians have always hooked up with the French Yes, it's normal to learn this trick." General Giule put on an instructive look. And those subordinates naturally showed the appearance of listening attentively.
"Thank you for the general's teaching, so there is such a cunning trick," the officer said hastily, "If it weren't for the general's teaching, we would have been deceived by them."
"The young people are inexperienced, hahaha... well, why don't you go back and ask again, why are you still staying here?"
"General, there is something wrong with those Sardinians," replied an officer.
"What's wrong?"
"Their responses are extremely slow, even to the whipping, they seem to be slow to respond, and their concentration is also very poor as if they haven't slept for several days. Even during the process of questioning, they seem to be at any time Can forget that we are being questioned by us. It is because these are not normal that we will..."
"Have you shown it to the military doctor?" General Giule asked.
"Yes, General. The military doctor went to see it. According to him, the heart rate of these people fluctuated from time to time, and the pupil's reaction to bright light was slower than normal. As for why this happened, he didn't know the reason."
"Damn it, there is such a drug, right? What else did those guys explain? Tell me about the whole interrogation!"

According to the officers in charge of the interrogation, when they saw the prisoners, they were very depressed. However, this is also normal. Being a captive and still being full of emotions is a problem. But soon, they discovered that these captives were cooperative, and they would answer whatever they asked. It's just that sometimes, they act so absent-mindedly that they don't even hear the question.
After getting an unbelievable answer, some interrogating officers thought the prisoners were recalcitrant, so they used the whip, but even the stimulation of the whip could not focus their attention. It was only then that the officer in charge of the interrogation discovered that there was indeed something wrong with the state of these guys, so he believed in their initial answer.
A similar situation also appeared in Scrooge's original time and space. In the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese army was not afraid of death when fighting the US military, but once they became prisoners, they were very depressed and extremely depressed. Moreover, they either didn’t notice the US military’s inquiries at all, or they didn’t know what to ask. What to say, absolutely honest, never lie. So much so that Americans feel that the Japanese nation is so contradictory that it is difficult to understand. Of course, there is a reason why the Japanese army’s counter-interrogation training for soldiers is almost zero, but even if Zhang Gazi has not received any such training, after being caught by the devils, the devils will not ask him who is the Eighth Route, he will Tell the devil who is the eight-way problem. In this strange behavior, there is also the effect of methamphetamine.
"Where did they say that drug came from?" General Giule asked.
"It's from America, and there's a guy with an empty pillbox," said the officer, showing General Giule the pillbox with Popeye and the "Popeye Miracle" slogan on it.
"Strength produces miracles?" General Giule read the slogan on it and then looked carefully. He saw its producer printed in small letters on the lower side of the box: "McDonald Chemical and medical company".
"McDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company? Isn't this the company that produces the magic drug sulfonamide?"
...
Baron Franz, a French officer, is currently serving as an observer in the Sardinian army under the orders of Emperor Napoleon III. His father once fought under the command of Emperor Napoleon, and finally died in Waterloo, leaving only his wife and one-year-old son a legacy of 200 francs and the title of baron conferred by Emperor Napoleon. However, with the defeat of Emperor Napoleon, the title of "Baron" was naturally not recognized by the restored Bourbon. Even, as the son of a dangerous follower of Bonaparte, Franz was bullied a lot when he was a child. Fortunately, the Republic is finally back, and then, the Empire is back. His "baron" status was also recognized, and he was able to enter the army and serve the new Majesty Napoleon.

Now Baron Franz is writing a letter to His Majesty the Emperor. As an observer, he will report the battle to His Majesty the Emperor and offer his opinion.
"Today's fighting was largely tentative, as evidenced by the fact that King Emmanuel II did not commit troops with the latest breech-loading rifles to the battle. Emmaruel His Majesty King II arranged them all on several high grounds a little further back. This approach was obviously for the convenience of retreat. I think his idea should be to win the victory for our army's arrival through gradual resistance. time.
Although the overall layout of the Sardinians is conservative and defensive, in today's battle, the Sardinians still showed great courage. Some conscripts who have only been trained for less than three months are like It was the battle-hardened elite troops who fought bravely and fearlessly. They adopted British-style tactics and marched against the opponent's volley without firing a single shot until they reached a distance of fewer than 25 meters from the opponent. On, in the standing volley, and then launched a bayonet charge. The probing Austrian troops were crushed almost instantly. However, in the subsequent battles, these troops also immediately exposed their lack of training. In the pursuit of the fleeing Austrians, their ranks were completely disorganized, which caused them to suffer heavy losses when they were attacked by the Austrian cavalry... I know from American advisers in the Sardinian army that they did nothing but serve the Sardinian army. In addition to providing them with a batch of firearms, Ding Jun also provided them with a drug called "Dali Pill", which is said to make people forget their fear and make cowards brave. It is because of taking this drug that those Sardinians can show such bravery. I bought a box of samples from the Americans and sent them along with the letter to test the effect...Besides, with such aid at work, I don't think the Austrians can win quickly..."
...
"Do you think it's true what the Sardinians said that they were almost out of medicine because of the hurricane?" asked General Giule.
Everyone looked at Giule, but no one dared to say anything. The vast majority of people believe or want to believe, that this is true. Because if the Sardinian army cannot be defeated as soon as possible, once France intervenes, Austria will be in a very disadvantageous position. Moreover, looking at the appearance of those captives, it seems that they are not very good at lying.
"The troops that the Sardinians put on the front line yesterday should have taken this drug before the battle. Well, judging from the situation of the prisoners, they will be very tired after the effect of the drug wears off. So if all the Sardinians have used the drug, and if they have no inventory, then this time is when they are most vulnerable. Now, the position of the Sardinians has retreated about 4 miles from yesterday, and they live here," General Giule continued, "The scouts reported that the Sardinians have deployed troops here and on the high ground here... Do you think we should catch up now?"
"General, I suspect that the troops deployed by the Sardinians on these high grounds are the so-called 'elite' troops that the captives mentioned did not appear in yesterday's battle." An officer said, "The Sardinians I hope the war can be delayed so that the French have time to intervene. Therefore, they did not prepare for a decisive battle at all in yesterday's engagement. The enemy controls these two high grounds, so they can ensure the safety of their retreat. The artillery is deployed here Two high grounds can cover a large area. I believe the enemy has already conducted a test firing of artillery. The road to Turin will also pass through here. Our troops will not be able to take these two high grounds. Maybe pursue the enemy." At this point, the officer raised his eyes to look at General Gioulet.
"Ah, Andrew, what you said is very good, continue." Andrew's father is an old friend of Giule, and Giule still likes this old friend's child very much.
"Let's look again. Here, less than two miles behind the position where the main force of the Sardinians is stationed, there is high ground. If I were the commander of the Sardinians, I would let the troops go two miles longer. This way, you can take cover alternately with the enemies who are still on these two high grounds, and gradually retreat. But the enemy is stationed at Zhao’s current position. This position is not as advantageous as that one. Why did the enemy do this? I guess it has something to do with the extreme exhaustion after taking the medicine. The fatigue of those captives has not been relieved at all, so, I guess, the condition of their main force is not much better. Go. If we quickly take these two highlands and catch up, we have a chance to defeat those Sardinians in one fell swoop."
"Very well," said General Giule, "What do you think of Major Andrew's opinion? Who is for it, who is against it..."

Machines did the heavy lifting. Artificial intelligences put together action plans with the greatest resolution possible. Most days were simple jobs, first aid on minor fires, cats stuck in pipes too fine for machines, or when alarms went off that normal security scans couldn't eliminate. Most of the time our only skill was being willing to go into dangerous areas and follow orders, only I died running into the latest in biological terror. A beast that spawned fire. I remember the pain, it overwhelmed everything. Now I've woken in a new sort of existence. One where the only creature to view is a little girl, and she needs my help. Isabella Brand. Izzy, my one light in world of darkness and pain. She has the makings of a mage in her world and I'm going to be her spirit animal.

8 212The Strongest Weapon Of The Strongest Duo
In life, there's always a person who's been born lucky and those who's been robbed of fate. Most people relied on this so-called fate.. especially since this world is all about powers and cultivation. But there's also someone who's disdaining those who rely on it, as they were born unlucky. Having no power, two children of Four Saint, live their life, prisoned in their household. Being mocked for their ordinary state... the people seem to be unaware of its great effect. "Yeah, but look at here, it says 'only need'. What do you think it means?" "Only need? Maybe we can fuse some more parts of our body with energy other than our whole body?" "But what does whole body means?" "Our flesh?" "So, to be extraordinary, one needs to become ordinary first! That's the meaning of this! Others were at a Strong Maniac state or higher already since birth, so their only body parts being fused with energy is their flesh since they don't have any chance to fuse at all! While we, ordinary, can fuse energy not only in our flesh but also in other parts that we want to. So that's the meaning of, 'Legend said that extraordinary was born from ordinary'!" Discovering such an important fact... How will the two prove their hypothesis and become the Ultimate Duo in the universe?
