This is a middle-aged man, strong and resolute. The armor data shows that he still has 11 injuries that have not healed, and there are more than 30 old injuries all over his body. Obviously, this is a man who has experienced many battles.
His voice was calm and slightly slow: "I am Major General Commander James of the 7th Marine Corps. I think it is necessary to talk to you about the treatment and placement of prisoners. I respect your achievements on the battlefield, I also understand the harsh conditions here, but the issue of prisoners..."
Chu Jungui interrupted him directly and said, "There is no need to talk."
James looked angry and shouted: "I hope you can understand that I have controlled the scale of the incident!"
"I know, but no matter how we talk about it, you and your men who participated in the mutiny can only stay here forever. When negotiating the terms of the armistice with the Federation in the future, you will also be removed from the list."
"You are blatantly violating the war convention!"
Chu Jun said calmly: "Those people inside have only recorded 30% of their data, right? If you want to decipher and record them all, it will take another hour. If you get angry now, you won't buy much time."
James was shocked. He had obviously checked every corner to make sure there was no surveillance equipment before taking action. But he didn't expect Chu Jun's return to come so soon. What exactly went wrong?
Chu Jungui looked at the time and said: "There are still 3412 people inside, including you, the number is 3413. You still have 5 minutes. If you don't surrender after 5 minutes, then every minute I will Randomly select 100 people and cut off their armor's life support system."
"You..." James was furious, as if he wanted to pounce on him with all his strength, but he held it back.
Chu Jungui reminded: "You'd better not test whether what I say is valid. The result of one test is 100 lives. I will count these lives on your head. Oh, by the way, when randomly selected, you will also In it, so, good luck to you. Now the countdown begins.”
"Don't forget, you still have hostages in my hands!!"
Chu Jun returned and said, "Don't forget that they were also your comrades before."
James did not expect that Chu Jungui would be so tough and had no intention of giving in. He changed his mind and said, "Then you don't plan to kill the hostage?"
The life support system of the armor is cut off, and the people inside can survive for a few minutes. These few minutes are enough to kill all the hostages.
Chu Jungui was unmoved and said: "You are the ones who mutinied, and you are the ones who want to kill the hostages. If you dare to touch a hostage, even after the war, I will go to the Federation to pursue your war crimes. I know you are not afraid of death. , but dragging thousands of people to die with you is not brave."
When James wanted to say something else, Chu Jungui reminded: "There's still one minute left."
The next minute was spent in a stalemate. When the time came, there was a sudden cry of exclamation inside the factory. Two of the guards at the top suddenly grabbed their throats and struggled in pain. One of them couldn't bear it anymore and ripped off his helmet. However, the consequence of being exposed to the atmosphere of Planet 4 was that what he inhaled was not air, but fire! The atmosphere of Planet 4 instantly burned out his respiratory tract and fragile lungs. At the same time, his facial muscles began to ulcerate. His eyeballs had long been corroded into two pools of pus, and finally his entire face was melting!
It was so tragic that James, who had expected it for a long time, was also shocked. His face twitched and his hands trembled slightly.
The warrior who was randomly selected no longer dared to take off his helmet, but all the energy in the armor was cut off, leaving only the little air in the helmet, which was not enough for two breaths. Without power, this armor weighing three to four hundred kilograms became a living shackle, and he could only struggle to move.
The soldiers of the 7th Army were experienced in the battlefield. Although they were in a panic, someone nearby connected the life-support system of their own armor to that of their companions and urgently input air. This stabilized the situation.
However, another minute passed.
The addition of hundreds of people caused greater chaos, and the mutinous soldiers all knew the conditions proposed by Chu Jungui. If this continues, the entire army will inevitably be annihilated. Immediately, someone shouted: "Everyone on the left and right is dead, fight them! Kill the hostages first!"
But then several people stopped him and said, "What do you want to do? We don't want to kill the hostages!"
"I can't survive, so why don't you fight with all your strength? What are you waiting for, waiting for him to turn off all our armors?!"
Another minute passed.
Chu Jungui projected two figures in front of James, one was a soldier whose energy was cut off, and the other was a person who had been judged dead.
The former is 300, and the latter number was originally zero, but suddenly started to jump and increased rapidly. At this time, the previous number jumped to 400.
Seeing that the number of dead was rising rapidly and was about to exceed 100 in a blink of an eye, James roared in pain: "Surrender! I surrender! Open their armor quickly!!"
With a thought from Chu Jungui, all the warriors' armors regained their energy. But there were still more than a dozen people who could not survive the last few seconds when the air supply was restored. The death toll was finally settled at 102 people.
Chu Jungui put away the projection and said: "It's not bad. If we attacked by force, no one would be able to survive. James, remember, these 102 people will all die in your hands!"
James' eyes were filled with fire, but in the end he could do nothing.
After a while, the hostages were released, the wounded began to receive treatment, and the bodies were divided into two piles, with the mutineers and guards on each side. The placement was naturally different. The corpses of the guards were all placed in special alloy coffins, while the mutineers were thrown into a pile randomly.
After a while, more than 200,000 prisoners who were guarded in the distance were brought back and gathered in the open space. James's image was enlarged and projected in the air, and Chu Jungui's voice rang in everyone's ears: "This man named James thought he was a hero, and single-handedly started a mutiny, killing more than a hundred of our guards. , also defrauded 102 brothers of the 7th Army. He also defrauded all those who participated in the mutiny. I declare that even if the war is over, those who participated in the mutiny will not be released. There is no room for negotiation on this matter! Finally, this The hero also tricked everyone in the 7th Army. From now on, the treatment of prisoners of war in the 7th Army will be halved, the ransom will be doubled, and the release conditions will also be doubled!"
The prisoners suddenly burst into an uproar. Many prisoners of war from the Seventh Army stood up and roared angrily, as if they were ready to blow up the camp. Morgan's troops, on the other hand, were very quiet, vaguely distancing themselves from the 7th Army.
Chu Jungui added: "I don't object to some people wanting to be heroes. I also see that there are still many people who want to be heroes. Anyone who still wants to be a hero can stand up now and it can be regarded as mutiny. But I will explain in advance One point, from now on, all mutineers will be punished with death!”
Sure enough, a few people stood up. This kind of person is called a brave person in the eyes of the 7th Army, and is called a thorn in the dictionary of Light Year.
Chu Jungui cut off their armor energy without hesitation.
Two minutes later, in front of all the prisoners of war were several corpses lying on the ground in pain.
All the prisoners of war in the 7th Army were furious, but no one stood up to provoke again. Chu Jungui took advantage of the situation and announced that all prisoners of war in the 7th Army would be converted into coolies and began to arrange a large number of heavy physical work. The 200,000 Morgan prisoners of war faced many choices. The first was the recruitment of combat troops, the second was the recruitment of technicians and engineers, and the third was the recruitment of internal guards. After serving as internal guards, they were responsible for assisting the Lightyear Guards in guarding prisoners of war. Not only did they have some rights, but they also had considerable freedom, and were offered ransom relief, priority release, improved living conditions, and many other benefits.
Differential treatment was Chu Jungui's plan early on. More than 200,000 prisoners could not be monolithic. The 7th Army was unruly and would not take Morgan's troops seriously even if they were prisoners. Therefore, many Morgan troops were happy to see the 7th Army's misfortune.
After forcefully suppressing the turmoil in the 7th Army, unexpectedly, registrations for internal guards were extremely enthusiastic. More than 100,000 people signed up for a mere 3,000 people. Nearly two-thirds of Morgan's troops signed up. This is more than just signing up, it also means that these people already have a considerable sense of cooperation.
But what was truly unexpected was that more than a thousand people signed up as technicians and engineers, and nearly ten thousand people applied to join the Lightyear Combat Force!
This is not a temporary cooperation. Once you sign up, it means saying goodbye to the federal army completely. Originally, Chu Jungui's first two plans were just a pretense, and he didn't expect anyone to actually sign up. After all, this war is different from the previous ones. With such a large number of prisoners of war, the Federation must find a way to exchange them and cannot just abandon them. In addition, the Morgan troops are not the Morgan family's private army. Most of them are out-and-out federal troops, the same as the 7th Army. Regular federal forces cannot and dare not openly abandon so many prisoners of war. Even if some senior generals want to do this, federal congressmen will definitely eat them alive. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers plus relatives and friends behind them, that's 10 million votes, which can no longer be ignored.
But since Chu Jun’s return message has been released, he will naturally not take it back. There are so many people willing to jump into the fire pit of light years, which is not a big surprise. Chu Jungui is very curious, is his light year so popular now? There are actually people who are willing to leave their homes and careers to invest?
Chu Jungui looked at himself, but he didn't see any righteousness that would make people come from thousands of miles away to join him.
In the next few days, the recruitment, integration and work arrangements of prisoners took up most of Chu Jungui's time. Especially for candidates who applied to join the combat troops and technical support departments, detailed information registration and background investigations had to be initiated. These are all meticulous and trivial tasks. Chu Jungui will randomly check the information regularly and is extremely busy.
Busyness is a panacea for all worries.
At the same time, Admiral Morgan was also worried. He had just captured some special prisoners: a group of guys from the dynasty who claimed to be the Media Young Guards.
