Chapter 182: Knowledge and Virtue
When Gao Xian heard the news, he was obviously dumbfounded, he couldn't figure it out, it was just a small army of only more than 2,000 people, how could it be able to defeat the 5,000 men and horses under him, this was not only an advantage in numbers, but also a big cut above the other party in terms of the quality of weapons.
According to the report of the soldiers who returned, they faced not 2,000 people, but tens of thousands, not only that, but the officer who led the team was arrogant, did not take the other party in his eyes at all, and did not even have a strategy, so he launched an attack on the other side, and was surrounded by double the strength of the other side, and only 100 people could escape.
Gao Xian suddenly became angry, and asked them where so many people came from.
The soldier who fled back shook his head and couldn't say clearly, Gao Xian became even more angry, shot the soldier, and then beat the officer who led the team, blaming him for leading the troops and killing many brothers.
Gao Xian's behavior caused dissatisfaction among many people around him, because the decision of the leading officer was told to him by Gao Xian, and the leading officer was just executing. In the end, he failed, but Gao Xian punished the officer who led the team.
A leader is the core of a team, the soul of the team, and the belief of the team.
In the past, when Chen Mo was there, he really regarded the soldiers under him as his own brothers, and he did what he said and dared to take responsibility.
And Gao Xian's actions are diametrically opposed to Chen Mo, he beats and scolds the soldiers around him at every turn, and treats the lives of the soldiers as cheap as mustard.
When Chen Mo was there, if any soldier died, no matter which country, Chen Mo would always give his family a large pension, but since Gao Xian became the consul of the corps, these pensions were gone, and even the soldiers' salaries were deducted, all because Gao Xian was greedy for pleasure.
The property of the Corps used to be in Chen Mo's private account, and there was not much public property, Gao Xian put a large amount of property into his pocket, and the soldiers' salaries were less, and the food was getting worse and worse.
All of the above accelerated the retreat of the corps, most of the soldiers did not leave late, and most of the soldiers who stayed behind had nowhere to go.
After listening to James's introduction, Chen Mo's heart was not as anxious as before, because the situation in Africa was not objective, which undoubtedly brought convenience to the elimination of Gao Xian.
Chen Mo was in a good mood, and proposed to go to the restaurant for dinner, everyone happily went, and when Tang Mei came back to the door, seeing that Liu Xuan and Millet were fine, the hanging heart was completely put down, and seeing so many strange faces appearing, he asked Chen Mo with fear Where are so many people going!
When she asked this, she was still a little scared in her heart, this incident started because of her, she was worried that Chen Mo would expel her, but she never thought that Chen Mo said to her with a smile: "Sister Mei, we are going to dinner, do you want to be together?"
While Tang Mei was happy in her heart, she hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, you guys go to eat, I'll go back and clean up." ”
The group began to go to the hotel, and when they were on the way, Chen Mo remembered Bai Tiejun, so he asked James how he was.
James smiled awkwardly, revealing two rows of front teeth: "I'm sorry, I forgot your friend, he's still in a coma in the toilet, your friend is good, he's a trustworthy person." ”
Chen Mo knew what he meant, when James and the others came before, in order to protect the safety of Liu Xuan and Millet Grains, Bai Tiejun must have protected him to the death, otherwise he would not have said this.
Arriving at the hotel, millet grains were immediately attracted by the giant fish tank in the hall, the fish tank is a cuboid, about dozens of square meters, there are rocks, weeds, and all kinds of rare fish, millet grains pulled Liu Xuan to see the fish, and Chen Mo James Lu Yuan and others began to chat.
"Chen Mo, what are your plans next?" asked James.
Chen Mo thought for a while and said: "Except for Gao Xian, I have no other thoughts, as long as I kill him, I can live a comfortable life, and after a month, I will set off for Africa." ”
After hearing this, James nodded slowly, but the look on his face was not without worry: "Although the strength of the corps is not as good as before, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there are more than 20,000 people, it is not so easy to deal with, are you prepared?"
"I don't have to prepare, I don't have to, I may go to Africa this month, and the safety of my wife and daughter will be in your hands during my absence. ”
James nodded: "Don't worry, if someone wants to hurt them, they must first step over my corpse." ”
Chen Mo glanced at him gratefully, if James had defected and killed four of his companions before, it was to repay his kindness, and now protecting Liu Xuan and Millet Grains is a favor that Chen Mo owes him.
Then Chen Mo set his eyes on Lu Yuan's body again and said, "Tomorrow, you and I will go on a long trip." ”
"Okay, no problem. ”
"Brother Chen, are we still going?" Ah Yuan and Crow asked almost at the same time.
"You don't need to go to so many people, you two can rest in Cloud City for a while. After thinking about it, Chen Mo took out a bank card from his pocket, put it on the table and pushed it to Lu Yuan: "This is 40 million US dollars, it belongs to you and your three brothers, Xiao Hei didn't come, and he also has his share, in addition, your legal identity is a little troublesome, and I can't get it in a short time, I need to run the relationship, give me a little time." ”
Lu Yuan hurriedly stood up and excused himself: "Brother Chen, how can this work, we take your money before we work, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”
Chen Mo laughed: "What are the rules and regulations, I treat you as a friend, but you treat me as a boss, I have already told you before, no matter whether it is successful or not, I will give you this money." ”
"This, this ......"
Not only Lu Yuan, but even Ah Yuan and Crow were a little embarrassed, they used to help people do things, but they all did things first and then took money, and they were the kind who failed and had no money to take.
After postponing it again and again, Chen Mo was resolutely unwilling to take the card back, and Lu Yuan had to put the card away.
At this time, James smiled at Chen Mo, the contrast between his dark skin and white teeth was stark: "Chen Mo, I also helped you with your errands, don't you thank me for nothing?"
Chen Mo blinked: "Didn't you tell me before, as long as it can fill your stomach?"
"Huh?" James' face was full of grievances, and he made a funny face cover: "Are you serious about my jokes?"
"Then what do you want?" Chen Mo asked quipped.
"At the very least, the food should be better!"
