"General Manager, they are crazy!"
Shen Zhen was shaking all over. He never imagined that the enemy would be so crazy. He would rather die than surrender. He shouted "Allah", jumped into the sea and let it sink... .............
Gu Yanzhi opened his mouth and wanted to say that ants still live in vain, how could a human be like this? But seeing that the two of them were still in love with each other, they had no choice but to accept it in the end.
Ji Song was silent for a long time and said: "Bang the drum, gather the generals!"
Shen Zhen was stunned for a moment, but after seeing the expression on the chief executive's face, he wisely didn't ask anything.
winter! winter! winter!
The low war drums sounded, and the generals who were watching the fireworks at sea immediately got on the boats and rushed towards the Grand Steward's ship!
At this time, everyone walked onto the flagship, but they all nodded as greetings. For a time, the relaxed mood of the past disappeared completely, and everyone became much silent.
Watching fellow soldiers die as if they were dead, and would rather commit suicide than become prisoners, this is really hard to imagine in their past wars.
Especially during the civil war in the Central Plains, there were very few soldiers who died together and would rather die than surrender. Many times, once the war goes unfavorably, most people will choose to escape or surrender. This has basically become a habit in the Central Plains!
Even the victorious side will not take too much precaution against these people. Most of the time they just collect their weapons and keep them under strict guard!
What's more, some people were included after a period of screening, while the rest were released directly.
Even when fighting against foreigners on the frontier, they were reduced to slaves and rarely killed on a large scale.
but now................
Seeing the enemies who were as fanatical as lunatics, they had great doubts in their hearts.
What is this war for? What makes them so crazy and fanatical?
Ji Song's ship is special. Both the cabin and the internal structure are different. This is because it is considered that this will be the place where the soldiers discuss military affairs. If it is too small, it will not work.
The largest cabin was used by Ji Song as a gathering place for generals. It was so big that even if hundreds of people came, they would not feel crowded.
tread! tread! tread!
After everyone arrived, they didn't say anything. They looked at each other and sat down in their seats, bowing their heads in silence, as if they had something on their mind.
Liu Rengui was sitting in the first place on the left. When he saw everyone's anger flashing, he wanted to get angry but didn't know what to say? Call them cowards? Or do you mean their kindness as women?
The traditions of the Central Plains for thousands of years are terrible. Over a long period of time, they have become something that has been agreed upon by everyone. Although there is no supervision, everyone still complies involuntarily.
This is why so many people in the court hated the generals who killed and surrendered. Whenever they found one, they would attack him in groups, just like the enemy who killed his father, and would not stop until he was brought down. Even if the emperor protects him, the consequences will not be too good in the future.
Killing prisoners is unlucky, this is something everyone agrees on, no one dares to be so unscrupulous!
But today's enemy taught them a lesson. Before, they could capture a few prisoners at sea from time to time. But the people I met on the battlefield today were different. They were like fanatical believers.
Wow~
The cabin door was opened, and everyone immediately stood up and bowed their heads, shouting: "I've seen the chief steward!"
Ji Song walked up to the main seat, glanced at everyone, raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Chief Manager!"
When everyone was seated, Liu Rengui couldn't help but said: "General Manager, please ask the General Manager to be humble to everyone for today's matter!"
He looked around, looking at the frowning people, and said solemnly: "How should we deal with such an enemy?"
"The general is uneasy!"
Hearing this, Ji Song asked Liu Rengui to sit down first, and then looked at everyone. Everyone who was overlooked by his gaze lowered their heads involuntarily, without exception!
"I'm very disappointed today!"
Ji Song did not leave any face to everyone, and said solemnly: "When you are still immersed in the past,
In glory and victory, our enemies know themselves. "
"A piece of advice to everyone!"
"This war is not a civil war in the Central Plains, nor is it a battle to resist border raids. Before, we could surrender, we could be defeated, and we could escape. Because we could survive, we didn't even have to do anything else. I thought it was no big deal to just go home and farm. of?"
Isn’t that person here a brave general who came from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? He felt extremely aggrieved when the chief manager said this. This is Ji Song. If others believe it or not, let’s have a fight first?
But who is Ji Song? You can't beat it, and nothing else can compare. But everyone thought that if they were not given an explanation for humiliating them today, the matter would not be over.
Ji Song doesn’t understand their thoughts?
Of course he understands, but he doesn't care. Faced with a group of cowards who are fierce and shy, what is he afraid of?
"What? Not convinced?"
Ji Song looked at the crowd jokingly. Suddenly, he drew his sword and split the solid wood eucalyptus in front of him in half. The horizontal sword was even more unabated, thrust straight into the wooden board, and half of the blade was invisible.
Hiss~
Everyone's eyelids twitched, they gasped, and looked at the expressionless chief manager in horror. Is this something a human can do? This damn natural power is not like this!
"I'll tell you!"
Ji Song let his sword stick on the ground, his silent warning completely letting everyone see the reality clearly. Only then did they remember that Ji Song was not someone else. This was the one who had the real power, life and death.
Although they were in awe of other generals, they were not afraid. But this one was different. Once he was targeted, he would be killed on the spot, and there would be no problem in returning to Chang'an. The people behind him probably want to say that the killing was good, the killing was wonderful, and the killing was croaking!
"This is a war between two civilizations, hey! Telling you Qiu Ba that I know this is playing the lute to a cow..."
"Pfft!"
Cheng Chusi burst out laughing suddenly. Seeing the angry glares from everyone, he quickly pretended to be nonchalant and stared at the floor, as if there was a stunning beauty on the floor.
Ji Song took one look at this guy and ignored him.
"You just need to know that once defeated, you will either endure humiliation and live a secret life and become a slave of the enemy. You will be laughed at and despised by others every day. After you die, you will be eaten by wild dogs..."
"Either he becomes the traitor who was just captured alive by me, and what awaits him will be a fate worse than death!"
"Once the war between civilizations begins, it will not stop until one side completely falls. Do you know who you encountered today?"
"That's a man-eating fanatic, a lunatic who can use his life to prove his belief. Don't think about taking prisoners, let alone catching them alive."
"Once you encounter it, there is only one way!"
Ji Song shouted in vain: "Then kill him!"
"Did you hear me?"
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly said: "Understood!" "Promise!" "Yes!"
Ji Song was furious, stepped forward and grabbed someone, and said angrily: "Did you hear me clearly?"
The man looked at Ji Song in fear and said tremblingly: "Listen... listen clearly!"
Ji Song let go of him and smoothed his collar.
"I hope you really heard it clearly, understood it, and even kept it in mind."
Then he turned around and looked at the crowd and said, "Where are you?"
"I will obey the orders of the Grand Master!"
This time everyone stood up, cupped their hands, and said in unison.
He nodded and said: "Go back and tell the brothers below that the real war has begun. My mission is to take everyone home as much as possible. This is my responsibility as a general. And your responsibility is to kill the enemy. Kill the enemy without any scruples, and all the sins will be borne by me.”
"Back off!"
Ji Song waved his sleeves and turned around to leave regardless of everyone's expressions. I just glanced at Liu Rengui before leaving.
"General Liu, what do you mean by the chief executive?"
A general came to Liu Rengui carefully and asked in a low voice.
"What do you mean? Humph! Look at your potential? No wonder the chief manager doesn't want to tell you. He is really talking to a cow."
Liu Rengui's ridicule made people unable to get off the stage. He said with a black face: "The general is stupid, please give me some advice from General Liu!"
Yo? Are you not convinced?
Liu Rengui suddenly laughed in anger, pointing at him and then at the people who didn't want to leave.
"Okay, you want to know, right? Well, I will tell you!"
"Do you really think this is just a simple war? If you think so, you are wrong, a big mistake. There is no need to tell you these things, because most of you won't understand them. But Since you asked, I will give you a good explanation..."
When Ji Song winked at him before leaving, he immediately understood what it meant. This matter requires one to be the bad guy and the other to be the bad guy.
But this is exactly what he wants. The war has progressed to this point, and some things have indeed been told to everyone. All of you here are actually smart people, there are some things you just didn’t expect. Now I'm just in time to tell everyone before the decisive battle. I don't even know why I died.
Next, he explained the current situation and world situation that the Grand Manager had analyzed to them, as well as the interest relationship between the two countries, and the significance of this war to Datang and the Central Plains. Shen Zhen on the side also added a few words from time to time as a supplement.
To be honest, these words are like fantasy to some rough guys who only know how to fight. However, some generals are thoughtful and have a feeling of enlightenment. As Liu Rengui talks about things they didn’t understand before, they suddenly understand. The feeling of seeing the moonlight through the clouds and mist arises spontaneously.
Gu Yanzhi didn't stay here. When Liu Rengui explained to everyone, he sneaked away secretly. When I came inside, I saw Ji Song looking at the sea chart. This was something that the chief manager did every day during this period.
"coming?"
Ji Song looked away from the chart, rubbed his dizzy head, and said, "How is it outside now?"
"General Manager, is it useful to tell them this?"
Gu Yanzhi still couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart. In his opinion, the general only knew how to fight, so what was the use of talking so much? Could it be possible to increase combat power?
"You are still narrow-minded!"
Ji Song shook his head.
"From the moment the Tang Dynasty opened its eyes to see the world, we can no longer demand anything from them in the same way as in the past. In future wars, in addition to frontal fighting, deterrence, and court games will be the mainstream. Killing talents like today, if they don't understand If these are placed on the border in the future, they will cause trouble."
Seeing that Gu Yanzhi was still a little confused, he said directly: "You have to remember that the essence of war is a means to fight for and protect one's own interests, but war is not the only means."
"Joining vertically and horizontally, making alliances at a distance and attacking closely, dividing and transforming, etc., are all just a means. Even if it is the last resort, war should not happen if it can't happen."
"There is a saying in the art of war: It is good to subjugate the enemy's troops without fighting!"
Ji Song's words made Gu Yanzhi think deeply. There were some things that he would never think about on ordinary days, and no one told him these things. But after hearing the words of the chief manager, he suddenly understood.
"Are you saying that war is the last resort, but the way to safeguard national interests is not just to launch a war? And when there are other means to resolve the crisis, if there is no war, then there should be no war?"
Ji Song nodded with satisfaction, he was very satisfied with Gu Yanzhi's understanding. Being able to break through the centuries-old Confucian restrictions on thought in a short period of time and see these things is pretty good, at least better than 99% of people.
"What if we have to use war? Although war is not the only method, it is the most effective and simplest method. What if we have to use it?"
Ji Song was stunned and looked at Gu Yanzhi in shock. He did not say this,
Even after the funeral, the debate is still going on, and there is no final conclusion at all. Because most people only see the immediate benefits and do not consider the benefits a few years later, more than ten years later, or even decades or hundreds of years from now.
"Those who are good at swimming will drown in the water. If you only know how to use war to solve problems, you will also be tired of war. As the saying goes, if you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. Once you start a war, death will follow. Displacement, famine, war, hatred and resistance. Unless all enemies are killed."
"But have you ever thought about it? When an enemy more powerful than you appears one day, will they impose the war you impose on others on you?"
Gu Yanzhi fell silent.
The Grand Steward was right when he said that those who are good at swimming will drown. There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. Who can guarantee that he will always be strong? Strong guy is awesome, right?
But what about the ending? After the Three Kingdoms, ten houses were empty, and alien groups from all over the world started to attack. Isn't this the backlash caused by the previous war?
Seeing that he understood something, Ji Song stepped forward and patted his shoulder, smiling and saying: "You don't have to think so much. You will enter the court in the future. I hope you will think more about it when encountering such a thing. But I want to What I’m saying is, when war must be used to solve the problem, don’t hesitate, either don’t do it or do it absolutely, never hesitate!”
"This is the case in this decisive battle. There is no so-called right or wrong, let alone justice and evil. There are only naked interests. But this interest is not personal interests, nor the interests of a family, but the overall interests of a nation and a race. .”
"It is our duty to open up a productive space for the race and build a land that can be proud of in this sky for future generations. This is the best of times and the worst of times."
He looked at the chart and murmured: "But you and I are lucky. How lucky are we to be involved in this war for the benefit of the people?"
