Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 122 Wang Hui's Plan

Lu Tianhao and all the generals felt the crisis.

Once the great powers provided the bandits with advanced weapons and equipment and advanced aircraft.

If he fought with the bandits again, even if they did not use the civilians as shields, the battle would become even more difficult.

The current bandits have not released the people of Tianlong Kingdom even after a second bombing of their homeland.

It seems that the bandits are prepared to fight to the end, delaying time and waiting for the advanced weapons, equipment and aircraft to be provided to them by the great powers.

Lu Tianhao said, “The bandits are stalling for time by not releasing our people now.

The great powers have now formed an alliance, and it won’t be long before the multinational coalition forces they have formed will land in our Tianlong Country.

In addition, they will definitely send advanced weapons and equipment and advanced aircraft to the bandits in the shortest possible time.

We don't have much time left now. We must use this time to launch a full-scale counterattack and strive to recover more areas occupied by the bandits.

Once the battle begins, the bandit troops will certainly use our people as shields.

War is inherently cruel, and we cannot be too soft-hearted.

We do our best to avoid harming our people.

However, we cannot exchange the lives of our soldiers for the safety of these civilians.

I allow you to use heavy artillery to bombard fortresses where we don’t know whether there are civilians inside.

Failure to destroy these fortresses will result in huge casualties among our soldiers.

As for the civilians who were accidentally injured, I will find a way to make amends after the war is over."

Wang Hui spoke up at this time, "Marshal, I have an idea, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

Lu Tianhao looked at Wang Hui in surprise, "Did you come up with any ideas?"

Wang Hui nodded. "This method I thought of is a bit cruel to the people, but it is very likely to prevent the bandits from using our people as shields again."

Lu Tianhao suddenly became interested. "Tell me about it first. If it works, we will implement it."

Wang Hui said slowly, "We can have the soldiers speak to the captured civilians.

Tell these people to resist. For every ally soldier killed, they will be rewarded 200 silver dollars, and for every bandit killed, they will be rewarded 500 silver dollars.

If they are killed in the resistance, we can regard them as members of our national salvation army.

Their names will appear among those of our National Salvation Army martyrs.

If they have families, we will pay pensions to their families and also take care of their families.

However, this will put a lot of pressure on the finances of our National Salvation Army. I don’t know if the Marshal can handle it.”

Lu Tianhao said with some disappointment, "The captured civilians are unarmed, how could they possibly resist?

Knowing that they are going to die, will they resist?

I don't think your method will work.

Killing a soldier will be rewarded with 200 silver dollars, and killing a bandit will be rewarded with 500 silver dollars.

It sounds like there is a high reward, and the people are not stupid. Even if they kill an allied soldier or a bandit, how can they escape to claim the reward?

You are just making empty promises, are you sending the people to their deaths?"

Wang Hui said with some sadness, "I do mean that.

However, if they have families, we will deliver these rewards and pensions to their families without any deduction.

As long as the news gets out.

I believe that the arrested people will definitely dare to resist.

The captured civilians knew that they were being used as shields and that their chances of surviving the brutal battle were slim.

Rather than being used as a shield by the bandit troops and lingering on, they might as well give it a try.

If some of them were lucky enough to survive, they would receive generous rewards. Even if they died in the resistance, their families would benefit from it.

We have learned from the intelligence we have obtained before that many people did not show fear but smiled when bombarded by our artillery.

They greeted death with a smile. This shows that the people of our Tianlong country are not afraid of death, they are afraid of dying unclearly.

With our National Salvation Army's calls and promises to them, I believe these people will fight to the death.

As long as the civilians were captured by the bandits, they would fight desperately and would definitely bring endless trouble to the bandit troops.

Although these civilians may not be able to kill many allied troops and bandits.

However, with a group of people around them who are ready to risk their lives at any time, would the bandits still dare to use the people as a shield?"

Du Xiaowei spoke up, "So many people were arrested. If they died in the resistance, would we really know who they were?"

The command center fell into silence, and everyone knew very well that Wang Hui was just making empty promises.

Lu Tianhao was in a low mood. "I will set up a special team to do our best to find out and record the identities of these people and try to reduce the number of unknown heroes."

Everyone knew very well that what the people wanted was just a word and a promise. As for whether it could be fulfilled, they didn't care at all.

Lu Tianhao said to Wang Hui, "You will be fully responsible for this matter. Don't worry about the financial aspect. I will prepare a large amount of silver dollars.

As long as the captured people really put up resistance, I will pay the rewards and pensions in full."

After the meeting, orders were quickly issued to various combat units.

The call to the captured civilians was soon heard in every combat area.

Lu Tianhao returned to his residence and then he remembered that he was going to tell everyone about the plan he had come up with.

Unexpectedly, when he was interrupted, he didn't tell the battle plan he had thought of.

Now that we have the plan that Wang Hui mentioned, let’s first see if it works.

If the people really fight to the death, the bandits will no longer dare to use them as shields.

Then there is no need to implement the plan that I thought of.

Without the civilians as shields, the army's heavy weapons can be put to good use.

With the use of heavy weapons, we can definitely defeat the bandit troops easily.

Lu Tianhao decided that before the arrival of the multinational coalition forces, he must advance quickly, recapture more occupied areas, and recruit more soldiers.

Only with a large number of troops can we have the strength to compete with the multinational coalition forces.

The call to the arrested people did not elicit any response from them, but it brought about an unexpected effect.
