Compared to Li Mu's excitement, the soldiers standing in the 30th Squadron area all had sad faces. When they learned that their captain was a twenty-year-old son of aristocratic family, they had already marked the captain with " Labels such as "confounding military achievements" and "lagging behind".
It doesn't matter if it's on a normal day. After all, there have been many cases of aristocratic children coming to the army to gild the army. There is no need for them to object to this as soldiers. If you are lucky enough to meet a generous aristocrat, you may be remembered as the same. In order to express the friendship of the robe, reward some property or promote the military rank, so most of the military system also acquiesces to the existence of such things.
But this time the situation is completely different. The battle to defend Qinglan City is related to the survival of the entire empire. It is not a small fight with the surrounding barbarians in the past. This is a battle that can only be won but not defeated. Everyone standing in the square today Everyone is ready to die, just to protect the great rivers and mountains behind them and millions of compatriots.
Every soldier in each team was working hard. They were determined to die. They all held the idea of killing one to make up for their losses and killing two to gain blood. However, the superiors suddenly arranged for a playboy to be the captain. Any soldier would not be able to accept it, but the military orders were overwhelming and they could not change the arrangements they had made, but the dissatisfaction in their hearts was already written on their faces.
"Brother Liang, the position of captain should clearly belong to you. We have fought together for so many years. We all recognize your strength and character. When Captain Wu left, he also recommended you to take over. Why do you suddenly give him this position?" Let’s stuff a pretty boy with no hair on his face, so don’t blame me for giving him a bad look when the time comes.”
The speaker was a bald man with a dark face, a burly figure and a scar running across his chest. He was obviously a battle-hardened warrior, and the Brother Liang he spoke of was standing at the front of the team. A muscular man, slightly older but more calm and sophisticated.
"Yes, don't give him a good look."
"Yes, Brother Liang, we support you."
The words of the bald man immediately resonated with everyone in the team, including the two female soldiers standing at the end.
"Don't say a few words. We are soldiers. It is our bounden duty to obey orders. Moreover, the commander-in-chief has already told me that this time the captain specially assigned to us is a monk, so that the combat effectiveness of our entire team will be improved. , as long as I can kill the enemy, I don’t care whether I am the captain or not.”
Liang Shan scolded the soldiers behind him in a low voice. Years of fighting had made everyone in the team respect this veteran very much, and they all kept their mouths shut. However, the glances directed at Li Mu were still unkind.
At this time, Liang Shan was also constantly examining the new captain who was only seven or eight steps away from him. It was his duty as a veteran to resolve conflicts within the team, but years of living and dying together had also made him value these comrades very much. If Li Mu is really the son of an aristocratic family who is here to gild, so Liangshan will naturally not be polite.
"I hope you are not the kind of soft-footed shrimp who treats us as cannon fodder and runs away when he sees the enemy. War is about momentum, and cultivation alone is not enough."
Li Mu soon arrived at the area of the 30th Team, but the enthusiasm and smile he originally imagined did not come as promised. He did not need to rely on his cultivation to perceive it. He already felt the strong hostility. Apart from standing in the first place Except for the man who still maintained his unwavering gaze, the others' gazes almost seemed to devour him alive.
"This...did I offend them in some way? No, no, I obviously don't know them."
Li Mu's brain was working rapidly, hoping to find out the reason why these soldiers were hostile to him, but after much deliberation, there was only one possibility left, which was that he misunderstood that he did not have real talent and knowledge, but was just here to hold them back. A nobleman's son in exchange for military merit.
"Alas, those sailors had the same expression when we were at the East China Sea outpost, but I was not one of them in that battle, so I didn't have such a big reaction. Now I not only have to fight side by side with these soldiers, but I even have to serve as their As a captain, it’s normal to be dissatisfied, but if I can’t gain the trust of these soldiers, it will definitely be affected on the battlefield. No, I have to find a way.”
With a plan in mind, Li Mu walked straight in front of Liang Shan. This man with a resolute face could tell at a glance that he was the leader of the team. As long as he got his approval, the hostility of the other team members would naturally be resolved.
"I am Captain Li Mu of the 30th Squadron of the Fourth Defense Zone, affiliated to General Liu Qingling. I have been ordered to join you. Please introduce the situation of the team to me. I have just returned from the East China Sea Outpost. Time is urgent and the enemy situation is serious. I don’t have much time for greetings, so please forgive me.”
Li Mu stood in a standard imperial military posture, spoke loudly and powerfully, and then beat his chest with his right fist, which not only showed his identity but also explained the current situation. At that moment, Li Mu decided to choose this way. As an opening statement, for a true iron-blooded soldier, it is definitely not a good idea to deliberately get close to each other. On the contrary, such business-like words are more likely to be recognized.
Liang Shan was stunned when he saw Li Mu's behavior. He didn't expect that this fair and tender young man really had the character of a soldier, especially when he heard that Li Mu had just returned from the East China Sea outpost. At first glance, you must know that those who can participate in that ambush battle are the elites of the Eastern Military Region.
There was little information and no backup, but those soldiers did not hesitate. Under the leadership of General Liu Qingling, they drove far inferior warships to severely inflict heavy damage on the enemy's best enemy, and sank seven Penglai warships, which were said to be invincible at sea. Such achievements make every soldier in the Eastern Military Region excited and proud.
It is no exaggeration to say that every soldier who returns triumphantly from the ambush in the East China Sea has become a star in the army. This is the value of the military, which is compared to courage and scars. A fearless warrior can win others' honors wherever he goes. of respect.
"Report to the captain, all members of the 30th team are in place. I am Liang Shan. Follow the order and report your names to the captain in turn."
The effect of Li Mu's decision was remarkable. Liang Shan looked solemn. He responded to a military salute and then turned to give orders to the other soldiers in the team. With Liang Shan's help, Li Mu quickly understood the composition of the team.
Among them, Liang Shan and the bald man named Daya are both veterans who have been fighting together for more than ten years. The other soldiers have been in the army for seven or eight years. The only two female soldiers were recruited three years ago when fighting against the barbarian tribes in the southeast. Medical soldiers, they were originally under the command of General Yue Wenchuan of the Eastern Military Region. Due to their outstanding military achievements, the former captain was recently promoted to captain and now serves in the first defense zone of Qinglan City.
This team, which retains the original members, can be said to have extremely rich combat experience. In addition to its weak hard power, no one has reached the realm of Jiedan. It is definitely an elite team in the Eastern Military Region. In a previous battle, the team sacrificed a soldier. , so the current team has a total of nineteen people, and there is still one person missing.
