The viscount company commander couldn't understand what these Chinese people were arguing about, but he knew that those people's eyes were staring at him. He probably had something to do with the quarrel, and an inexplicable feeling of fear came to his heart.
At this moment, the Chinese officer who seemed to be the leader strode towards him, grabbed the knot tied to his hands, and lifted him alive with one hand.
"Oh God! What are you going to do? I am a noble, you cannot torture me..."
"What's your name? Who said I'm going to torture you? If I slap you, I'm being unreasonable!" Wang Chen laughed ferociously and threw him to the ground.
"Princes and generals like Xiang Ning are so talented! Why can nobles get immunity from death medals, and why do common people's sons have to die at the front? What kind of bullshit rules is this?"
Translator Frank rushed over and took Wang Chen's arm, "Sir, you really can't do this. You will trigger public outrage! Let me tell you clearly, the nobles in Europe are all one family, regardless of whether they belong to different countries. , we are all actually a family!”
This is the reality of Europe. On the surface, the whole of Europe is dismantled into countless countries, but the people who rule these countries are only a few famous families.
These ancient families, which have been inherited for more than a thousand or even two thousand years, have long had Europe firmly in their hands through peace with religions, through mutual marriages, and through the feudal system.
In this context, the wars between European countries are, to put it bluntly, large-scale family fights, and they are all turf wars between relatives!
This kind of war mode is destined that the two sides will not fight too badly! Moreover, during the war, both sides always have some affection for their relatives on the other side!
It's not that they are kind-hearted, it's also forced by the situation. They know very well that even if your family temporarily gains the upper hand and defeats other countries, you can't do everything!
If you fail to do favors and your hands are stained with the blood of relatives, then the revenge you will receive in the future will be miserable, and I am afraid that your descendants will not have a good ending.
This is the unspoken rule. The two sides can fight for a hundred years, but it is the common people who die. Real nobles do have the privilege of avoiding death. After being captured, they can pay a ransom in exchange for their freedom.
Of course, there are some unlucky ones who accidentally die on the battlefield, but accidents are accidents, which are completely different from premeditated torture and killing.
The First World War is known to the world, and later historians call it the war between cousins!
The King of England, the Emperor of Germany, the Tsar of Tsarist Russia... they were all cousins by blood. In the end, tens of millions of people died in the battle, but the German Emperor was still able to enjoy his old age peacefully in the Netherlands.
His British cousin pretended not to see it and tried his guilt in absentia, but no policeman dared to execute the verdict!
This shows how tough the European aristocracy is and how powerful this habit is!
In the eyes of translator Frank, torture or even murder of nobles was a betrayal of God, because in the hearts of European civilians at that time, emperors and kings were canonized by the pope. To put it bluntly, they were rulers sent by God to the world!
And the nobles were sent by God to assist these emperors and kings in ruling the world! If we disrespect these people, isn’t that disrespecting God?
What's more, if the Prussian army tortured and killed nobles was exposed, how would the royal families across Europe view this war? Will there be unpredictable diplomatic disputes?
Every highly educated Prussian officer would not dare to take this risk, and even a small soldier would not dare to challenge such a tradition.
But Wang Chen didn't care about such bullshit rules. He put his hand on Frank's shoulders and grinned, "My friend, do you know how the Chinese deal with this kind of thing?"
"Hee hee hee..." Wang Chen's face was covered in grease paint like a kid, but his white teeth were so oozing, as if he wanted to eat human flesh.
"In China, there are some proverbs that are worthy of scrutiny. Two thousand years ago, a slave shouted out this famous saying, 'Is it possible for princes and generals to live in peace?'"
"Even the old farmers in the fields know the saying, 'The emperor is reduced to a job, come to my house this year!'! Come, come, come...you translate for me..."
Frank's forehead was covered with sweat. "Oh my God! If you say something like this, you will go to hell! How can ordinary civilians have such an ideal as an emperor? This is not allowed!"
"God! Please forgive me. After the war is over, I must go to mass! Go to confession!"
"Slaves want to overthrow the nobility? Peasants want to be emperor? This is impossible, impossible!"
"Hahaha... What's impossible? We also have a saying..."
"It's called 'Dare to bring down the emperor even if you're willing to be killed!' Please translate for me!"
"Why are you so pale? Don't think this is just a slogan. Think about what happened to the emperor's relatives at the end of the Ming Dynasty. After being captured, they were thrown into a soup pot and boiled alive into a pot of meat soup, which was shared among the entire army!"
"Bah... isn't it just a rebellion? We have all eaten the emperor's flesh! Now do you think I dare to use torture? Do you think I dare?"
The loud shouts scared Frank back one after another. Wang Chen turned his head and looked at the trembling Viscount Company Commander on the ground, grinning and showing his white teeth.
"This noble lord... I heard about a form of punishment called waterboarding from a conversation with fellow CIA members... How about we give it a try?"
"Do it! Tie him up!"
The two special operations team members rushed forward like wolves and tigers, dragged the viscount and tied them to a dead tree that fell to the ground!
"No... don't! I am a noble, you can't treat me like this! Let me go..."
"I can pay a ransom, and my family can pay a hundred thousand gold francs to redeem my life! You can't kill me..."
"Let me go, you are quite rich? How can you become a company commander with so much money? I don't believe you... Translate for me! What are you looking at?"
Wang Chen yelled at the stunned translator beside him. The three translators couldn't believe that these Chinese people were really going to take action. They were all at a loss!
Frank was the highest-ranking among the three. He couldn't help but rushed over and took Wang Chen's arm and said, "For the sake of the head of state, don't torture him! Originally, the European aristocracy was full of vigilance towards the head of state of your country. You This will give them more excuses!"
"Even if it's not for us in Prussia, or for the head of state of the Chinese nation, you can't do this! Don't cause trouble to the head of state, okay!"
When he mentioned Xiao Letian, Wang Chen involuntarily straightened his waist as if he was about to salute in the next second. "Ahem...that...that's not because I don't respect your tradition. I don't believe what this guy said." !”
"He's a viscount, just like a bullshit company commander, and he says he's just a viscount? I even said I'm an earl! Do you believe it?"
"One hundred thousand gold francs? Can a broken company commander take it out? I don't believe it...Brothers, do it!"
