Chapter 1278: Wollman's Gamble
In General Wollman's makeshift camp, the general was discussing his next steps with some of his officers.
Lin Rui sat in the back row with half-squinted eyes, half a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, as if he was asleep. Their goal this time was just to protect Wollman, and he didn't want to get too involved in other things. So there was not the slightest interest in their military meetings.
Outside the tent, Sergei still got together with a few mercenaries to play cards, often arguing. Everyone was relaxed, especially after this victory, and the threat of the Order's forces was no longer there for the time being. They were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Rui was also in this relaxed mood, but when he heard Wollman say that he was going to enter Naryi City, he still couldn't help but stand up. Staring at the map on the wall, I thought about it for a long time. Finally he sighed and stopped talking. I simply wrapped the clothes on my body a little tighter and slept with my eyes squinted.
After their meeting was over and everyone had left, General Wolman walked up to him and said slowly, "Mr. Rick, what do you think?"
Lin Rui shook his head, "No." I'm just thinking about when it's convenient for you to be able to cash out the bonus you promised us first. I'm afraid I may not have a chance in the future. I have a computer here, and you can pay by electronic transfer. ”
Wollman bit his cigar and said, "You don't seem confident in my plans?"
"IMHO, it's a bullshit plan. Lin Rui shook his head, "I have a task to protect you, and I will try my best to do it." But if you do die, I'll fail at best. The big deal is to take my brethren and flee for their lives. Don't think I'll die with you. ”
"It seems that I am not wrong, you are indeed very unconfident. Wollman shook his head.
"It has nothing to do with faith or unfaith. Your plan, with all its fanciful rhetoric, can only deceive your illiterate officers. When the time comes, I will recall every brother and stay with you and not go anywhere. They can't die for your stupid plans. Lin Rui looked at him and said.
"It's your freedom, or is it that you command your people and do what you have to do. I do what I have to do. Wollman shrugged. "Everyone tries not to interfere. Then he turned and walked outside the tent.
"Hey, Wollman. Lin Rui said coldly, "What is it like to send your own people to death." ”
Wolman's footsteps froze suddenly, and he slowly turned around and said, "It's not very comfortable, but life is hard, so why care." ”
"You don't care, because it's not you who is dead. But these soldiers have families, do you really want to use them to do such meaningless things?" Lin Rui frowned.
"It's none of your business. "The fate of a soldier is to go to the battlefield until it ends on the battlefield at some point." Sacrifice is inevitable. ”
"But they're sacrificing for you. Lin Rui said coldly. "Why did you choose the city of Naryi? With your shrewdness, you can't fail to see the problem. The rainforest in the east is much safer than the city of Naryi. Why are you doing this? Just because you show yourself?"
Wolman looked back abruptly, stared at him, and said, "Do you think I don't know it's safe to go east? But I can't! I can't as long as I'm in this position! I'm the only powerful military force in this country." All the people in Turimo were looking at me. When it comes to fighting these extreme separatist groups, I can't run away without a fight.
And all those Western countries are also staring at me, and if I show cowardice at this critical moment, it proves that I am not up to the task. They will choose another agent, or even cultivate forces to oppose me. This choice has nothing to do with the military, only with my existence. I have to show my worth in this war. ”
"Oh, after talking for a long time, I still wag my tail and beg for mercy from your Western boss. Lin Rui shrugged and said, "It's a pity that those black buddies under your command still think that you are a national hero, and they are still desperate to give you their lives." But I never thought that the heroes who made them die for them were actually worthless. ”
"I'm a hero, but to be a hero comes a price. Otherwise, you will not become a hero, but will only die on the path to becoming a hero. Wollman put it mildly. "If you want to be a hero, you have to judge the situation and understand what the price must be paid. After I have done this qiē, no one will consider me despicable. In their eyes, there is only the hero's great achievements and eloquence. For all I did was for the people of Tulimo, like the soldiers who were about to die. ”
Wollman turned slowly, "Go and rest, young man, and try to forget about these." You'll find that it's not a big deal. ”
"Even if it's a soldier's life?" Lin Rui frowned.
"I'm a general. "Wollman didn't look back.
Jiang'an walked in from the outside, looked at Lin Rui and said, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just that guy makes me sick. Inform the brothers that all future actions will be subject to my orders. We just need to protect this guy. What kind of people on the periphery are like has nothing to do with us. Lin Rui sighed and said.
"What's going on?" said Shogishi with a frown.
"Our general has decided to take the troops to the city of Naryi. Lin Rui said slowly, "Just now I also made a speech that was sprinkled with enthusiasm, encouraging the morale of his subordinates, saying that he wanted to hold on to Naryi City. Defend the country and resolutely fight against those extremists. ”
"Naryi City, isn't this crazy?" Shogan frowned, "With his point, holding on to Naryi City will pay a considerable price." He didn't look like such a stupid person. ”
"He's smarter than we think, and he's going to use this battle to establish himself in the Tulimo region. As the only warlord who dares to confront the extremists head-on, he will become the hero of Turima. And those Western countries will also look at him differently and continue to spend money to support his power. The only ones who will be lost are the soldiers under him. Lin Rui shook his head and said.
"It's like he's going to do it. Jiang An was silent for a moment and said, "But his decision also has a great impact on us." ”
"Who's to say it's not, if he's willing to listen to us and head east into the rainforest. It is entirely possible to use this advantage to drag the Order into a stalemate. But now that he is like this, it gives the Secret Society the possibility of charging a blow. The Red Baron won't let go of this opportunity, damn bastard. Lin Rui gritted his teeth and said. "He's putting his own people in danger, and we're going to have to follow him into a very dangerous situation. ”
"He's always been an opportunist, and this time he's taking a big gamble. Shogishi sighed.
"However, it's not just his own life that is being gambled!" Lin Rui said coldly.
