The atmosphere in the San Diego barracks was still solemn and solemn, and the return of Li Mu and his party did not cause any waves.
It's still a little different, standing on the balcony on the second floor, I vaguely see a fire on the school ground, and the people are full of excitement.
George Dewey knows how to combine work and rest, and the compact training will be interspersed with some entertainment programs that can make people relax, this situation is normal, Li Mu did not take it to heart.
Chu Xue came over quietly and put the brewed tea on the coffee table beside Li Mu.
Li Mu inadvertently looked up and found that Chu Xue's eye circles were a little red.
"What's wrong" Li Mu raised his hand and grabbed Chu Xue.
"No, it's nothing" Chu Xue lowered her head and didn't look at Li Mu's eyes.
"Said" Li Mu was arrogant and didn't give Chu Xue a chance to pass the test.
"In the afternoon, an army withdrew from the front line, and it was very miserable, I heard that the army of more than 1,000 people fought only more than 400 people" Chu Xue's voice was not loud, and his voice was a little buzzing when he spoke, and it seemed that his mood had not calmed down.
"War, normal" Li Mu said casually, just halfway through speaking, Li Mu suddenly realized something, and his hands suddenly tightened: "What kind of army is formed?"
"Yes, it is an army composed of our Qing people, they are all our Qing people, they were surrounded by the Spaniards on a mountain, and they fought bloodily for three days and three nights without waiting for reinforcements, the eldest brother asked me to leave it alone, but, but" The first snow didn't come out for a long time, but Li Mu immediately understood the meaning of the first snow.
When he was in Springfield, Li Mu knew that there was an army of Chinese in Cuba fighting the Spaniards for the Republic of Cuba, but Li Mu didn't know what the situation of these Chinese was, but Li Mu thought that since he was fighting for the Republic of Cuba, the Republic of Cuba should not treat these Chinese badly.
Being in the San Diego barracks, Li Mu was surrounded by Americans, which gave Li Mu no chance to inquire about the situation of the Chinese troops.
"You should rest early" Li Mu did not hesitate, since the Chinese troops were sent to the door now, then Li Mu must have to see, as for why the Chinese troops suffered heavy casualties, Li Mu did not want to draw conclusions before he figured out the facts.
The Republic of Cuba is now on the defensive in the face of the Spaniards, and this is not necessarily a conspiracy.
Of course, whether this is a conspiracy or not, Li Mu will not allow this situation to happen again.
After changing his clothes and shoes, Li Mu went out and went straight to the injured camp.
Before Li Mu arrived in Santiago, because of the limited medical strength of the Republic of Cuba, there was no wounded barracks in the Santiago barracks, and ordinary soldiers could only wait for death after being injured, and only senior officers would be treated.
As early as Springfield, Li Mu foresaw this situation, so among the 200 officers Li Mu wanted, more than a dozen were military doctors engaged in field ambulance, and after arriving in San Diego, Li Mu immediately set up a wounded soldier battalion to accommodate the wounded soldiers.
Although Li Mu has never been a soldier, Li Mu also knows the role of veterans in an army, generally speaking, wounded soldiers return to the battlefield to become veterans, they have stronger combat effectiveness, are the backbone of the army, and the importance of the army is even higher than that of officers.
Mike, the person in charge of the wounded barracks, faithfully carried out Li Mu's order, and after seeing Li Mu, Mike took the initiative to report: "Today, the situation of these people is not optimistic, they fought too badly, a total of 210 wounded soldiers were sent over, more than 30 were seriously injured, and 12 were forced to amputate, as for whether they can survive, it depends on God's will." ” Even in the United States these years, the medical system is not very good, and the field care is not even an independent medical system, but this is already the best field hospital that Li Mu can establish.
"Their commander is not here" Li Mu did not enter the ward, it was meaningless for Li Mu to communicate with ordinary soldiers, Li Mu wanted to know the current situation of the Chinese troops, so it was imperative to find their commander.
"Mr.
Edmund's injuries are not serious, after a simple bandage, Mr.
Edmond is already resting, if you want to find him, I can find someone to take you there."
Mike was still wearing a white lab coat, and it was work time, so he definitely couldn't leave at this time.
"Mr.
Edmond is white," Li Mu asked tentatively.
"Yes, white people."
Mike's answer was not what Li Mu expected.
Thinking about it, it is understandable that the Cubans can form an all-Chinese army, but the commander of this force will definitely not be Chinese, if it is Li Mu, Li Mu will only do it more thoroughly.
"Okay, just find me a Qing officer."
Li Mu retreated to the second, the commander-in-chief may be white, but the grassroots officers must be Chinese, otherwise this army is not easy to command.
"Okay, please wait."
Mike turned and entered the room, and after a while, a tall young man walked out.
"You are" The young man hesitated, looking at Li Mu Qi Ai.
"My surname is Li, Li Mu, your surname" Li Mu replied in Chinese.
The young man "Li Li" had a surprised expression, as if he had lost his ability to speak.
"Yes, my surname is Li, and your surname is you," Li Mu repeated the question.
"My surname is Li, Li Fei, and my name is Bora here."
Bora Lee's voice was impassioned, and he had a subconscious upright when he spoke.
Bola Lee Okay, or Li Bora is okay Li Bora keenly noticed that there were several guys dressed as American gunmen standing around Li Mu, which can fully prove Li Mu's identity, as a Chinese who served in the Cuban army, Li Bora is now used to answering questions in this way.
"Birla, it's good, come with me."
Li Mu prepared the residence of Libora to understand the current situation of the Chinese troops in Cuba.
In the living room on the first floor of Li Mu's residence, Li Bora drank some rum, and then stabilized his mind and slowly introduced to Li Mu.

"Five years ago, I followed my uncle here to say that he was working, and the ship died before it could dock, and I came to San Diego with a group of fellow villagers to work in a sugar cane factory, and the factory owner in that factory was simply not human, and treated us pigs and dogs worse, and later I learned that we were all sold to the factory owner by those traffickers, and then there was a war here, and the factory owner's family fled, so we joined the army, and Mr.
Edmund said that as long as the Spaniards were driven out, we could have our own house and our own piece of land, So the brothers were willing to give the Cubans their lives, and there were many Spaniards, and we couldn't retreat, and we were surrounded on Mount Maestra near Bayamo, and there were more than 1,600 brothers, and after three days of fighting, only 800 people remained, and Mr.
Edmund saw that he could not wait for reinforcements, so he led us to break through, but only more than 500 people rushed out, and there was only so much left along the way," Libora said at the end, although he did not cry, but his eyes were red.
From Li Bola's account, Li Mu finally learned about the living conditions of the Chinese in Cuba.
It should be said that compared with the Chinese slaves in the construction team, Libora was lucky, at least their "master" fled with the Spaniards at the beginning of the war, so Libora became slaves without a master and qualified to join the army.
In Cuba at present, in fact, there is only one Chinese unit of Libora and his team, and before the war, the establishment was two infantry regiments with a total number of about 1,600 people, but after this battle, there were basically no dead and wounded, and only more than 400 people remained.
That's right, the troops in charge of the broken rear are victorious if they are not completely annihilated.
"In this way, Bayamo has already lost" Li Mu felt that the battle situation was not good.
"It must have been lost, we were ordered to retreat at that time, but before we could retreat into the Maestra Mountains, we were surrounded by the Spaniards, and on the way we retreated, we did not see any other troops of the Republic of Cuba" Libora is a junior officer, and he still does not know enough about the situation.
"Okay, you go back and have a good rest first, and in a few days, I'll arrange for you to go to a place."
Li Mu is ready to arrange the Chinese troops in Guantanamo Bay, this is the fire in Li Mu's hands, and Li Mu must protect it.
Sending Li Bora away, Li Mu immediately went to find George Dewey.
George Dewey was studying the map with Mahan in the office, and when he saw Li Mu coming in, George Dewey greeted him repeatedly: "Do you know that Bayamo has missed, it seems that the Republic of Cuba is in danger."
Bayamo is the barrier of Santiago, and without Bayamo, the Spaniards will be able to cross the Maestra Mountains to Santiago, and if Bayamo is not recovered, the Republic of Cuba will really be doomed.
"What did Cespedes say?"
Li Mu didn't believe that Cespedes would watch Bayamo go missing.
"This afternoon Railitoimbi came to me and asked to lead all the soldiers out tomorrow to recover Bayamo, to be honest, these soldiers have not received full military training, and to send them to the battlefield now is to send them to death."
George Dewey shook his head repeatedly, obviously not in favor of concentrating his forces and going head-to-head with the Spaniards.
"What are you doing with Mahan" Li Mu felt that George Dewey would not easily give up his military power, and let Raleitoimbi take away the soldiers in the barracks.
"Study the map with Alfred to see if there's a way to beat the Spaniards at the least cost."
George Dewey does not conceal it, although Li Mu is not in charge of the military, George Dewey and Li Mu are a team, and there is no need to conceal it.
"Is there any result" Li Mu was curious, and leaned over to the map to take a look.
It's a pity that George Dewey and Mahan studied contour maps, which they couldn't understand without relevant knowledge, so Li Mu just glanced at them and lost interest.
Li Mu is really not good at military affairs
