Chapter 213: Talking about feelings hurts too much
How many people devote themselves to a profession because they have an unwavering belief in it? I'm afraid that this overly scathing question will stump a large number of people.
Workers, peasants, cooks, cleaners, teachers, policemen, soldiers, nannies, although there are many professions in this world, it is difficult to count the practitioners, and it is too difficult to ask how many of them have joined this profession for the sake of their beliefs.
In the old world, the most straightforward value criterion for measuring the value of a person's life was more money and less money. No one cares what you do! It doesn't matter if you rob a house, how much money can you make a year? Is there a high salary for a car and a house? It seems that in addition to the god of Mani, there is no other objective evaluation standard in the world, even the threshold is low enough to be a hard codeword writer, people don't ask what book you have written, whether it is good or not, but ask how much money you make by codeword? In short, the old world was a monotheistic belief in Manichaeism, and the unanimous belief of mankind was money, regardless of the color of the good, the bad, the virtuous, the foolish, the colored, the race, because money can embody a qiē value, both tangible and intangible, and all can be weighed on this scale.
The new world is different from the old world, it is a fantasy world of true god apparitions, magic and swords, people know that their lives are a journey, and eventually they will die, and their souls will return to the kingdom of God and be with the gods they believe in.
At this moment, a pirate leader with a centipede-shaped scar on his cheek stood up, put one foot on the table, and said in a loud voice:
"Pirates are free, we sail the seas, we are not controlled by anyone, we go wherever we love, we are our own kings."
"Hahahaha, well said, go to his noble lord, we are our own king."
In the noisy conference hall, Gao De and Luo Zhengdao's faces were a little embarrassed at this time, assuming that under normal circumstances, with their backgrounds. Jing couldn't have become a pirate, and although these words sound harsh now, they are also the common sentiment of the entire pirate industry.
Patiently waiting for the sound to gradually subside, Luo Zhengdao continued with a smile:
“…… However, I would like to tell you that freedom does not come without a price. At some point, we have to pay with our own blood to defend our freedom, are you willing to fight to the point of bloodshed as a free person, or are you willing to live as a slave? ”
The pirates who are accustomed to robbing houses are not a group of good men and women, and in a pirate career full of murderous plots and betrayals, they have accumulated a rich net worth and washed their hands, which is a special treatment that only the lucky few can have. Ordinary pirates rely on plundering merchant ships and ports, and although money comes easily and goes just as quickly, it is conceivable that how can these guys, who live a life of licking blood all day long, save money to live within their means? The pirates spent their days drinking and messing around, with money in their left hand and money in their right out, and even those pirate leaders who were not low in status were nothing more than ordinary sailors who took a few more dividends than ordinary sailors, and by the way, when collecting the spoils of war, they put some good things into their pockets, and in general, they could not save enough money to survive for the rest of their lives.
"Hey, Lord Earl, what the hell do you want to say?"
Soon some people raised public doubts about Luo Zhengdao, they suspected the hidden intentions behind Count Will Needham's words, these cunning pirate leaders are not hot-blooded young people who have just entered the society from the campus, and when they heard others shouting a few slogans to incite emotions, they immediately became fanatical, which of these old foxes has seen too many conspiracies and betrayals and bloody slaughters, and they want to convince them with their lip service alone, I'm afraid that this speaker must possess such anti-heavenly powers as the Great Prophecy and the Laws series of arcane arts to make this possible.
Luo Zhengdao, who was facing accusations, still looked kind and pleasant, and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have to unite to make sure that we don't get swallowed by the greenskins, and I'm sure you won't have any objections to this, right?"
Listening to Luo Zhengdao's speech, the pirate leaders felt more and more uncomfortable, and a pirate leader Shi Shiran, whose face was so old that the wrinkles on his face were comparable to those of a Shar Pei, stood up and said:
"Your Excellency, please go out and say this nonsense, we are not here to listen to you."
Being exposed to selfishness in public, Luo Zhengdao did not show an embarrassed or annoyed look, and said calmly:
"Well, we have had several successful cooperation experiences in the past, but it was only a temporary cooperation, and in the future, we must have a unified response to the threat of scattered attacks by the goblin fleet, otherwise we will really be killed by the greenskins."
"That's enough, you say, do you want everyone to listen to your orders?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became tense, and many pirates who were accustomed to fighting had subconsciously moved their usual hands to the hilt of a knife or the handle of a gun.
Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao hurriedly watered to reduce the fire, he didn't have a plan to fight with people here, explained:
"Calm down, I don't think I have what it takes to lead everyone, and you don't like having a ruler on top, do you?"
Seeing that someone had been talking around for a long time, the pirate leader's anger was aroused again, and one of the one-eyed dragon pirates slapped the table angrily and shouted loudly:
"Since, Lord Earl! If you have something to hide from us, don't hide it, tell it quickly, we are not idiots who are fooled casually. ”
"Hahahaha......"
Behind the laughter is the grassroots of society, with a natural hostility and ridicule towards the children of the nobles who were born with a golden spoon, and if it weren't for the fact that there is a qualified enemy with a natural mocking face of the Goblin Second Empire outside, who is responsible for pulling hatred full-time, the relationship between the nobles of the Bright Dynasty and the pirates is not too much. Which noble fiefdom in the coastal region has not been disturbed by pirates? And what pirate gang has not been pursued and suppressed by the Bright Dynasty Navy? Now under the strong pressure exerted by the goblins, in order to seek a chance to survive, the pirates and the exiled nobles mingled together to keep warm, counting on something like the same heart and one mind, which can only be said that the person who thinks this way drank too much when Sanlu was a child.
"The goblins have found a suitable tactic to deal with us, and if they don't cooperate, they will have to wait to die, I don't know why you can still laugh, do you like to die?"
"So what do you say?"
With a compassionate expression, Luo Zhengdao seemed to have made up his mind not to see the rabbit and not to scatter the eagle, and continued to play Tai Chi and said:
"Ahh There is always a way, and the key depends on whether everyone is willing to cooperate...... All right! Let me introduce how to deal with it. ”
The pirates who claim to be one-hearted are a mess, and this is an incurable occupational disease, otherwise they would not have come up with such a strange thing as democracy to deal with the pirate captain. Luo Zhengdao didn't have the ability to pinch the pirates together, but it seemed promising to strengthen the connection at a certain level and counteract the pressure on the goblins to adopt a new strategy.
“…… The above content is the pirate charter I drafted, and some of my friends may not understand it, but there are only three most important ones. First, it is not allowed to sell peers; Second, intelligence should be shared; Third, it is forbidden to attack each other; If anyone violates these rules after the covenant has been made, do not complain that I have called others to besiege you. ”
After hanging everyone's appetite for a long time, Luo Zhengdao only revealed his plan and discernment, he has not been in the pirate industry for a long time, but his proud record is not inferior to those predecessors of the pirates. He attacked Xiangjiang twice, went deep into the main 6 treasure hunt with Gaode, and never suffered defeat in previous confrontations with the goblin fleet, and built the deserted Wake Reef into a new city with a population of more than 100,000, and survived tenaciously under the encirclement of the goblin fleet. If the previous personal deeds are put on any pirate leader, it is enough for them to brag for half a lifetime, and it took Luo Zhengdao less than five years before and after these achievements to complete them, and it would be pure nonsense to say that he has no influence in the pirate circle.
The pirate leaders present were impressed by the pirate count, mostly in awe, but few doubted his abilities.
Facts speak louder than words, and the great things that Luo Zhengdao has done in the past few years are much more exaggerated than those drunkards who get drunk in the tavern and shout loudly about how great they are. Many people suspect that he still has incredible mysterious powers, and no one knows the answer to what kind of power it is, and the elusive mystery has strengthened the fog and aura that envelops him.
"Your Excellency, do you think we will be able to deal with the goblins in this way?"
Hearing the questions of the participants, Luo Zhengdao continued to talk eloquently:
"Of course not, continue to let the goblins build warships to train sailors, we will lose this war, we must set a fire in their backyard and find something for the greenskins to do, so that they can live in peace."
"Then your Excellency means that you want us to attack the Lord 6?"
"Yes, the relocation and sea ban are very tightly enforced, and it is not difficult for us to infiltrate and operate with a small force, right!"
Instilling ideology + exporting revolution, this trick is already an old-fashioned trick in the old world, even the old man basking in the sun in a small park can tell you the truth. However, this kind of trick to fan the flames is still high-tech in the new world, and except for a traverser like Luo Zhengdao, there is no audience who can understand this set of things. The human inhabitants of the Lord 6 have become slaves of the Second Goblin Empire, and in Luo Zhengdao's view, their fate is nothing more than hovering between living under slavery and being enslaved to death, rather than disappearing silently, it is better to let them spend their last bit of residual heat to help the pirates share the pressure of survival.
Listening to Luo Zhengdao's detailed introduction of the entire set of action plans, Gaode Needham looked at him deeply and said:
"According to His Excellency the Count, propaganda and agitation are the main work, and the combat mission is secondary?"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Baron understands accurately, we call these squads the Armed Task Force, and the goal is to make all the humans and other races of the Lord 6 understand that giving in to the Goblin Empire is putting a noose around their necks, and only by rising up to resist can there be hope, and how to let them know about this matter depends on everyone's joint efforts."
