At night, on the "Stone Crab", everyone sat together to discuss the day's affairs. Annie said bluntly: "You are really inexplicable as a 'Zhenhai Longhu'. You only assume obligations and do not enjoy rights. This is not the first time that you have participated in the war of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Last time, you didn't get a piece of your body." Pi, I have lost half my life in the past few months, and this time I have to help the mermaids fight the war. They are obviously using us, why do they want to wade into this muddy water?"
Xueting glanced at Shui Lingxing, who was sitting across from him with his head lowered and saying nothing, and used her eyes to stop Annie from continuing to speak. And Shi Si continued: "From your description, the mermaid clan is scattered, each with their own thoughts. It's hard to help them. They need to rely on my brother, but they will probably guard against him. The battle is won. They may not regard him as their leader, but if they lose, my brother will definitely take the blame. There have been many such things in history. Now that you are the life-saving straw, everyone will regard you as the savior, whether you want it or not. If they want, they will put you on the altar. It sounds nice to give you the supreme power, but in fact, you are just pushing you to the front to block the swords and thunder. Once you are unable to achieve the victory they need, they will not care whether this altar is you. If you are dragged up by them, you are guilty of a heinous crime and will be despised by everyone. They will throw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at you. Regardless of whether this job is dangerous or not, the key is what do we care about this matter? Woolen cloth?"
Seeing Shui Lingxing's head hanging lower and lower, Xueting didn't know what to say. From a sympathetic point of view, she wanted to help Shui Lingxing, but from the perspective of everyone's rights and interests, it was obvious that this matter would only cause trouble. Look, No benefit.
At this time, Tian Yong, who had been deep in thought, spoke up in a rare move: "I don't want to comment on whether I want to get involved in this matter or not. My life was given by the boss. I will do whatever he asks me to do, even if he asks me to do it." Go sniper God, I won't even frown. I just want to say that if we really want to do this, the first step is to carry out intelligence work, and the second step is to solve the problem of combat power. The battlefield is everywhere The area covered by the entire ocean is larger than the previous two world wars. How we organize a war of this scale is also a brand new topic for us." Everyone looked at Tian Yong in surprise, not expecting it. This reckless man is able to see things with such depth now. Could it be that his IQ has developed again after the age of 30?
Shui Lingxing seemed to have been organizing the words for a long time, and then said softly: "I know best what Ling Hao's 'Zhenhai Longhu' is like. Two years ago today, he was still an ordinary person. The shark clan is too It’s huge. Our team is full of people but we can’t count the number of people in our hands. I can’t ask you to fight such a battle with no chance of winning. You can leave here in a while, go to Pingding Mountain to get the treasure and return to China.”
Xueting felt a sadness in her heart and couldn't help but ask: "What about you?"
"My father and my tribe are here. The survival of the mermaid tribe has nothing to do with you, but it is closely related to me. I want to stay. No matter what fate I will face in the future, I will go with my tribe. Face it. You don’t have to worry about me, don’t forget, I’ve already died once, there’s no way the shark can kill me again.”
The cabin fell into silence again. Except for Shui Lingxing, everyone else secretly glanced at Ling Hao, who had never spoken. He was the only one who could really make the decision.
Ling Hao finally spoke: "I have listened to all your opinions. You have followed me these years, and you have suffered a lot and made some money. Thanks to the trust of all my brothers and sisters, I have made all the decisions alone. It is a very difficult thing to help others make decisions, especially in an industry such as ours, which is extremely risky. Over the years, I have been cautious and walking on thin ice, for fear that my decision would accidentally harm any of you. Fortunately, I did not let it down. Everyone trusts me. Even though I suffered a lot of injuries, in the end everyone still had to stand here. Maybe there is an element of luck in it, but I believe you will not deny that I am still responsible for your safety. "Ling Hao's eyes swept across everyone, and everyone nodded in conviction.
"Okay, then I will talk about my decision. I decided to participate in this battle and win it. There will definitely be danger, so I will not ask you to be with me this time, especially Anne, The company's affairs still need to be handled by you. After all, you are our God of Wealth. Our wealth is invested in the jewelry group. If you don't help us keep an eye on it, we will not feel at ease when we are fighting outside. Others, if you don't want to participate You can also withdraw from this mission. Don't worry, this will definitely not affect the relationship between us."
As soon as Ling Hao finished speaking, Annie became anxious: "I just talked about the matter, not because I was greedy for life, so why should I be excluded? Everyone has feelings for you and is willing to live and die together. Don't I have no regard for you? Love, don't you want to live and die with you? Since that's what I said, I still want to participate. If you don't take me with you, I will hate you forever!" Tears rolled in her eyes, Ling Hao What she said just now seemed to have caused her great grievance.
Ling Hao was a little panicked and didn't know what he said wrongly, but looking at the situation, if he didn't take her with him, the boat of friendship would sink immediately. "Look at you, why are you so anxious? We have specializations in the art industry, and this mission may take a long time. I don't want you to take care of everyone's escape. If you insist on going to fight with us, , I won’t stop you, anyway, have I stopped you once in such a long time?”
"That's right, that's right, let's all go. No matter what the boss does, we will follow him. This is already the meaning of our lives. If we can't be with the boss, we won't even have a taste of food. Just say it, boss, this battle should be How to fight?" Since Tian Yong had Xueting, his emotional intelligence has indeed improved. When he saw Annie getting angry, he quickly tried to smooth things over, and kept secretly winking at Ling Hao, which made Xueting and Shi Si almost laugh. The sound comes.
Ling Hao was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. Since he would be angry if he asked him to withdraw, he would not mention who did not participate: "I know, this time may be really thankless, but there are some things we must do. . I won't mention the responsibility of "Zhenhai Longhu". Anyway, I don't feel much about it, but after all, we are people who live by the sea, and the balance in the sea will also affect our work and life. How many thousands For many years, these intelligent creatures in the sea have been living in compliance with nature and living in small countries with few people. But suddenly one day a certain ethnic group began to centralize power and expand military. What does this mean? Human history is a mirror. If there is no If humans manage it, the sharks will dominate the oceans within a dozen years. Development without checks and balances will inevitably lose control. You may not know how strong the reproductive power of the sharks is. A female shark can lay eggs three times a year. Two to three eggs are laid at a time. In the past, this was because the various shark families were scattered all over the world, and the number of people in each settlement was not too large. Therefore, there would still be some natural enemies that could hunt down the young sharks, but once the sharks established a country , dominate the oceans, and after they kill all their natural enemies, the sea will inevitably become overrun with sharks, fish resources will quickly deplete, and may even trigger another round of mass extinction. We can accept that our descendants will face a land filled with only sharks. Is there an ocean where humans exist? The sharks are ferocious and will attack human ships once they overflow. Can we accept the ocean becoming a restricted area for humans? If the sharks eat all the other creatures in the sea, will they miss the largest creature on land? What about the species - human beings? The consequences are unpredictable, but they won't be good. Although I don't have any personal heroism complex, it's fine if I haven't encountered such a thing, but since I have encountered it, you say, can we Don’t you care?”
Ling Hao's words were impassioned, with the demeanor of an old political commissar. Finally, he walked up to Shui Lingxing and put his hands on his shoulders: "Besides, to me, this is not an injustice on the road. Draw your sword to help. Shui Lingxing has been with us for two years. We have experienced life and death together, and faced danger together. We are brothers in the same team. If something happens to our brother's family, can we just stand by and watch? I don't care what the 'Wenhai family' or ' Beihai Family', as long as Shui Lingxing is willing to risk everything to protect it, I, Ling Hao, am also willing to protect it with her!"
This was said so beautifully that Tian Yong almost stood up and applauded. Shui Lingxing broke through his defense instantly and threw himself into Ling Hao's arms, intending to vent his overwhelming emotions. Annie squeezed in between the two of them, taking Ling's place. Hao's position and pulled the latter aside. The emotional scene ended in comedy.
The next step was to study the strategy, and it took a whole night of deliberation to finally come up with a result. The next day, a group of people entered the city again. In the main hall, Shui Pei and Popang looked at Ling Hao anxiously. The latter did not show off and said bluntly: "We are willing to help the mermaid clan solve this shark crisis, but we There are conditions. As long as you agree to my conditions, we can start taking action immediately. Of course, if you don't agree, I won't force it. You can ask someone else. The continent of Mu has been sinking for too long, and the seven tribes have Things are no longer the obligation of our 'Zhenhai Longhu'. Helping is a personal favor, and not helping is also a duty. I hope you can understand."
Shui Pei and Popang were very happy at first, but when they heard Ling Hao said there were conditions, they looked at each other and looked embarrassed. Finally, Shui Pei said: "Humans have a saying, which is to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. We completely understand this, but our two families fled here from their hometowns, and there is not much around us that is valuable to you humans. There are also a few boxes of pearls and some red corals, etc., the quantity is not too much, I hope you don’t mind it.”
Ling Hao smiled and said: "I have no intention of asking you for property. Even if I do, I would ask it from the family named Hai. You should listen carefully to my request."
The two clan leaders felt relieved and sat down to listen carefully. There were people next to them who were responsible for recording.
"Obviously, this is a war between ethnic groups, and it will even evolve into a world war in the ocean. My request will be directly related to the outcome of this war. Therefore, I hope you will pay enough attention. First. , I will formulate a strategy to completely bankrupt the Sharman race's military invasion plan, but I will not draw the human race into this war on a large scale, and I believe you will not want the human race to intervene in this matter. Then, you still have to fight your own battle. Fight by myself, that is to say, I will serve as the commander-in-chief and command the mermaids and even other ethnic groups to launch a counterattack against the Mermaid Clan. To put it bluntly, I want the Mermaid Clan to command all matters related to the war, including soldiers, resources, rewards and punishments, and population transfer. Wait, if you don't agree, then let's not talk about it. Second, I need as much information about the Shark Tribe and the Mermaid Tribe as possible. No matter how many spies you send out next and how many people die, the information must be obtained. This is It is a cruel war, and no one will die in the war. I believe you have seen too much blood and bones of your tribe. I can also understand your feelings of cherishing the lives of your tribe, but there is a story about humans boiling frogs in warm water. I believe you have all heard of it. , the survival of the mermaid clan can only be fought for and defended by the lives of the mermaid clan. Begging and moral kidnapping cannot buy a real living space. Only a nation with burning blood in its heart and not afraid of death is qualified to continue its inheritance in this vast sea. Go down, instead of lingering as slaves or vassals. I hope you can reflect on it and rediscover the soul of the mermaid clan."
Shui Pei looked ashamed when he was told that the law of survival in the ocean is the same as the law of the jungle. Nations and countries that rely on others for liberation are only qualified to become vassals and puppets of others. There are too many such examples in human history. If you want to To stand in the forest of species with dignity, the first thing to do is to strive for self-improvement.
Popang looked embarrassed and said timidly: "Look, we are just two families of the mermaid clan. In fact, we cannot represent the entire clan at all, especially the 'Deep Sea Family' and the 'Wandering Family'. We cannot be theirs at all." Oh God."
"Don't worry about this. I will handle the affairs of other families. You just need to agree to my conditions within your jurisdiction."
"Okay, we agree. In fact, last night we realized that our intelligence on the Shark clan was at a disadvantage. We will send a large number of agents to detect the intelligence." The two clan leaders agreed happily. In fact, they had no other choice. room.
After staying for another day, the agents sent out came back one after another. After sorting out the intelligence, it was now known that just 15 nautical miles south of the shipwreck cemetery, more than 3,000 sharks were stationed in a trench. The general who led the troops Her name is Mia, a female siren who has lived for more than five hundred years.
"This information is enough for now. The two clan leaders, ask a thousand mermaid warriors to follow me and see how I fight." Ling Hao said the next sentence very simply, and then led Shui Lingxing, Tian Yong and the others. Went on the "Pippi Shrimp".
