Volume VIII 1325 Infighting!

Next chapter

Ordinary soldiers could not comprehend the profound ideological realm of the aristocratic officers, they did not understand history or politics, and they did not understand how many conspiracies and secret wars there were between nations.

Ordinary soldiers go to fight, in fact, the fundamental motivation is nothing more than the following, one is for profit, you have to be responsible for this military salary after eating the military salary of the empire, just like the factory owner pays you a salary, you have to work hard.

The other is greedy for the spoils of war after victory, after all, there are some soldiers who have ideals and aspirations, and they are not willing to live on that meager salary, and taking advantage of the war to make a war fortune can naturally reverse the fate of poverty.

The third type of soldier is for promotion, they regard the army as a career that they can fight for all their lives, and a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

And the last kind of soldier's emotion is the most simple, that is purely to repay the favor, for example, these soldiers who were born of serfs, they owe the tsar's kindness, they have to work the battlefield to repay, they have to use one victory after another, one new land after another, new wealth to repay the tsar's kindness.

These four mentalities are the real thoughts of the 30,000 soldiers of the Tsarist Russian Expeditionary Force now, and the thoughts in everyone's minds cannot escape these four types, and just like a pyramid, the number of people on each floor is smaller than the previous one.

This is also normal, most of the soldiers are actually just full of food, and the soldiers with aggressiveness and gratitude are always very few, and it is impossible for all soldiers to be like Nicholas who are warriors who cannot be moved by gold.

These sailors who escaped from the boiler warehouse obviously did not have such a high spiritual realm, and they did not know what the big truth of the captain's nagging was. They didn't understand a whole bunch of strange terms, and they didn't even count as real soldiers, at best they were a bunch of slaves in the boiler barn.

Originally, they were also angry just now, and they wanted to go to the battlefield to make contributions, but Hermansky's madness just now dispelled the enterprising spirit of these sailors, and now these sailors only have unwillingness and anger in their eyes.

"Damn, what did we do wrong? You have lost the war, are you going to shift the blame to us?"

"Look at the eyes of this bastard, it looks like he's on the flagship in a while, he's definitely going to make us angry, what can we do?"

"I heard that the soldiers of the army who landed on the island opened a mountain of gold, and no one could get an innumerable share of gold and silver treasures, and the soldiers of the navy who turned back could also get a share of the old and the young...... But what about us? We slave sailors, will we get a gold coin?"

"Can't, definitely can't, these nobles with fat brains only know how to squeeze me dry?

4000

?'s bones, even after the defeat and tried to kill us to spill anger, why doesn't God punish these bastards......"

The twelve boating boiler room sailors began to curse the street in their hearts, and their eyes became more and more strange, and the murderous aura that permeated the battlefield undoubtedly had a great impact on those who had not experienced much actual combat, and gradually a wave of anger germinated in these sailors.

Boom Boom Boom ...... Cannonballs swept across the sky and set off columns of water on the sea, and one of the shells was 20 meters from the port side of the boat, and a huge column of water rose into the sky, and tons of seawater smashed into the boat like a torrential rain.

The shock wave of the explosion set off a two-meter-high wave that frothed at the dinghy.

"Protect the General...... "The soldier and the sailor rushed over almost simultaneously and protected Hermansky with their bodies, and at that moment the water overturned the dinghy and all the people in the boat.......

Hermansky struggled in the water, he swam to the surface, but suddenly found that his legs were heavy, and there was a sharp pain in his ribs, and he looked down to see that in the shaking shadows of the water, two sailors were holding his legs and dragging them down, and the young blonde sailor, who had just been almost strangled to death, was clenching his fists and punching himself in the ribs, punch after punch.

The pain caused Hermansky to spit out a lot of air in his lungs, and the bubbles gurgled upward, and his eyes were full of anger, but how could he have fought the siege of three sailors by himself.

"Am I going to die? I didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of the lowly slaves...... Why did His Majesty release these slaves, this is really a mistake, a big mistake!"

Just as he was in a trance, four sailors who had been swept away by the waves spotted the captain in danger, and in a fit of rage, they swam at the captain with their daggers drawn, stabbing several rebellious coal shovelers to death along the way.

The blonde boy and two other coal shovelers fled in fright, and Hermansky, who had been poured several mouthfuls of filthy seawater, was finally pushed out of the water by the soldiers.

"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem, cough, cough ......" As soon as his head showed up, Hermansky began to cough desperately, and the sea water spat out.

"Traitor! Damn traitor...... "......At this time, the boat had already been rushed far away, and the four soldiers were vigilantly observing the surroundings with daggers in hand.

"Captain, these waters are too dangerous, and it's too far from our flagship, let's go ashore and hide first, and join up with the army first......" After saying that, the four soldiers dragged Hermansky, who was like a dead dog, towards the shore.

At this moment, Hermansky finally realized what the shame of the defeated was, and when he looked up, the sky was full of traces of shells, the sound of explosions in his ears was incessant, and the corpses on the sea crashed into them from time to time.

Shame, this is the shame of the vanquished, soaking in filthy blood and struggling to survive, even the rebels under his command tried to kill themselves, thinking of this qiē Hermansky burst into tears.

Fortunately, the sea washed away the tears on his face, so that he was not too embarrassed, and when the five of them finally stepped on the soft sand, before they could take a few breaths, they were confronted with a jaw-dropping scene.

Now they were on the beach on the west side of Setouchi Village, facing the continuous sugar cane fields a hundred meters away, and in front of everyone's eyes, groups of expeditionary army soldiers rushed out of the sugar cane fields, and they looked as if they had just escaped from hell.

The soldiers were covered in filthy sludge and covered in blood, and almost all of them greedily chewed on the sugar cane and sucked on that bit of sweet water supplement.

To say that they were soldiers is simply an insult to this noble term, and some people even lost their guns.

The only thing that hasn't been lost is the backpack on their back, which is the same as the root of life!

This is the first regiment of the breakthrough led by Ackerson, and there are only more than 1,000 troops left in the team of more than 1,500 people who rushed to the seashore, and the entire mountain road is covered with their corpses.

"What team are you, hold your number, and let your commander come to me......" Hermansky roared frantically on the beach, but the soldiers were exhausted, and none of them wanted to deal with the general.
