Chapter 439: Coalition Advisor
The Coalition Advisory Group, a name coined by Baili Liangliu, is dedicated to the placement of these high-ranking officers of the hostile forces who have surrendered. Burning Text ??? ?? .?r?a?n?? e?n?a`com
There are only four members at present, and they all served as commanders before they entered this advisory group.
Among them, Marshall and Gangcun are particularly high-end positions, and they are both official titles of the supreme commander of the armed forces of the country where they are located.
and Watanabe and Mu Feng, the two foreigners, are the oldest.
Not to mention the old qualifications of the advisory group, even if they get outside, it is estimated that they will not be able to compare with their old qualifications.
Needless to say, the new and old commanders of the three Dongying island countries, the latest to join Marshall belongs to the most stubborn one.
Although he finally tried to raise his gun and cut himself unsuccessfully, he still had no intention of surrendering under the further combination of soft and hard by Baili Liangliu.
Until Baili Liangliu came up with a bait condition.
"I said Marshall, you're too stubborn, aren't you? Otherwise, the treatment I give you is the same as Gangcun, Watanabe and Brother Mufeng, once I discover the secret of Gu Nongwu's longevity, you can also share it!"
Marshall, who had been unable to lift his spirits, suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and asked urgently: "What do you say?"
"Of course it counts!"
The four of them replied in unison.
There are not only hundreds of miles of good horses, but also three devils.
"Okay! I surrendered. ”
Baili Liangliu looked at these four people, and was speechless for a while.
It seems that the attraction of eternal life is still powerful!
Needless to say, the three devils have surrendered, and the reason for surrender is nothing else, which is the attraction of eternal life.
The reason why they answered Marshall's question, and with such eagerness, was actually answering themselves.
The belief and pursuit of eternal life has become their main theme.
However, this kind of belief needs to be constantly consolidated, and they will certainly strive to achieve it if there is a point of consolidation.
That's why they answered Marshall's question, both quickly and loudly.
As for Marshall, although he finally surrendered, the reason was also the attraction of the secret of eternal life, but among the several, his idea was the simplest, and at the same time the purest.
There's a reason for that.
It turned out that this Marshall, in addition to being a successful military man, was also a staunch Calvinist.
As a Calvinist with clear faith and pure theology, he firmly believed in tulip, the name of a flower, which in Chinese means Dutch flower.
But as an abbreviation of five letters, this is again a Calvinist theological expression for salvation.
In short, the five letters of the word, which represent the five elements of Calvinism about salvation, also became the Calvinist Pentateuch.
The first letter t represents that man is completely corrupt before he is saved, that is, man has turned away from God because of sin, and no one has the will to return to God, nor has the ability to be saved.
The second letter U is unconditional election, which means that God chooses some people to be saved according to his own will, and this election is based on God's will and has nothing to do with human conditions, that is, birth, wealth and poverty, and good or bad behavior cannot affect God's selection decision.
The third letter l, the limited redemption, in which the Savior sacrificed His life on the Cross to save those He wanted to save from the punishment for his sin, is essential for a person's salvation, because if a person atons for his sins on his own, he must die, and as long as the Savior pays the ransom, the redeemed person will be saved.
The fourth letter i, that is, all those whom God is sure to redeem cannot be rejected by the person concerned, which means that God's will is higher than man's will, and God's plan of salvation was determined long before the creation of the world, and no one can stop it, so God's salvation of a person must be successful, and the person concerned cannot refuse.
The fifth letter P is the state of salvation that the saved person will never lose again, God will keep it at any time, and salvation will never be lost, that is, although the person may still sin, may have weak faith, and even fall, he will never fall into the state of not being saved before.
And what is the sign of salvation? The Bible's promise to believe in Jesus and have eternal life.
So how do you show it in action? It is to confess your sins and repent and confess that Jesus is the Savior.
Because the Bible makes it clear that no one can confess the Lord Jesus as Lord without the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Thus, from the moment Marshall made his decision to pray, he knew that he had eternal life.
This is also the reason why he remained calm after he was captured.
Even if Baili Liangliu and others kept putting pressure on him to surrender later, he continued to stay put.
It is because he knows that he has eternal life and that death is not a big deal.
For true Christians are convinced that death cannot separate God's love for them.
This indifference was maintained until Baili Lianglu provided him with the conditions of the secret of eternal life.
This finally made him feel intrigued.
In fact, this motivation did not shake his confidence.
His faith remained the same, but he was interested in the faith of Baili Liangliu.
Although he firmly believed in God's promise that his future would be inseparable from eternal life, it was in the distant future in its potential state!
And the eternal life that Baili Liangliu said seems to be obtained in the near future through hard work, and you can enter it alive.
This living eternal life is markedly different from the eternal life that is expected in the distant future, although they remain essentially the same.
For example, a thing can be obtained tomorrow or a hundred years from now.
Tomorrow you have to work hard and take risks to be possible.
And after a hundred years, if you get the same thing, you have to wait patiently, not to mention that you can't do it, even if you try your best, it is impossible to accelerate it.
Therefore, the best way to do this is to combine aggressiveness and patience.
Strive for it, even if it's a day early!
Wait patiently, even if you die in active fighting, and in a hundred years, that eternal life will be the same as usual, let me get it.
So, with a little weighing, Marshall agreed to surrender.
The speed of the decision greatly exceeded Baili Liangliu's expectations.
It can be seen that this brigadier marshal of the three armed forces of the United States of America has an extraordinary ability to make decisions, especially on major issues, which is unequivocal and absolutely clear.
Baili Liangliu has also been planning for a long time to set up a coalition advisory group.
If such people give them actual positions, just supervising them will give Baili Lianglu a headache.
But put them together, they can monitor each other.
They can be brought up against hostile forces in their own countries if the need arises.
Such people deal with their former junior officers because of an innate advantage.
