297. The test of life and death
If there is a war, there will be victory and defeat, and it is also for the sake of victory and defeat. The so-called winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, which is also the ultimate goal and fundamental meaning of war.
The 177 death row inmates who started the rebellion have all been subdued. Of these, twenty-five were killed, seventeen were seriously injured and endangered, and the rest were captured - including "Adult" Schweinstedt!
The rest of the captives were kept in centralized custody, and we were given the necessary medical treatment for the seriously wounded β for humanitarian consideration. And I was in the captain's room, where Schweinstedt had dreamed of it, personally interrogating this man who seemed to be of great importance.
At this time, Schweinsteadt had already understood that he was losing at both the strategic and technical levels, staring at Mavi, who was standing next to me and had already removed his makeup, he couldn't help but sigh and hang his head in frustration.
"Aren't you going to say something? Master Schweinstedt! I smiled and asked, "You must know that rebellion is a great sin and is punishable by death everywhere." But ......"
I looked at his very numb face, and said lightly: "In view of your special status, I can give you no bloodless deathβat least no blood in front of people, and a large school of sharks is behind the boat, presumably willing to do this work for us." β
Schweinstedt's face trembled a few times, he didn't seem to expect that I would come up with such a way to deal with him! Dumbfounded, he said with some annoyance: "It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to return to China, otherwise what would I have to do now?" β
I asked with interest, "Oh! Return! Let's talk about it, I'm talking about the original situation, make it clear, maybe you still have a chance to live
οΌ That's right! β
Schweinstedt glanced up at me, his lips seemed to move, but he didn't know what he remembered, but he lowered his head again, silent.
I snorted and said coldly, "It doesn't matter who you are here!" Since you want to die, then I will fulfill you! As I spoke, I ordered the Nine Ghosts Masaki beside me: "All the rebels, including this guy, will be thrown into the sea!" Public executions! β
For my orders, the Nine Ghosts will always be the most resolute one. As the person who has been with me for the longest time and knows me the most, he naturally understands my thoughts. With a wave of his hand, a group of people rushed in, grabbed Schweinstedt on the ground like a chicken, and pushed and shoved him to the deck!
At this time, the deck was crowded with people, all the ships had stopped, and the sailors and prisoners of war were quietly watching. They know that the final judgment is coming, and these are also deserved by traitors such as Schweinstedt!
Noticeably, there have been some changes for prisoners of war who have been placed on death row β the nameplates on their chests and behind their collars that symbolize their status as death row inmates have been removed. In other words, I gave them a spell to lift their mortal fate. At this time, the prisoners of war already had something that ordinary people do not pay much attention to, but it is bigger than the sky for death row prisoners - relative freedom!
Of course, this is only the first step of integration, and it does not mean that they have become completely free people, but it means that they can start their journey to new heights in a relatively fair environment!
In front of everyone's eyes, Schweinstedt felt a little dazzled - perhaps it was coming out of the room, and the light changed so much that he was a little uncomfortable for a while. Soon, he was escorted to the front of everyone and became the focus of everyone's attention.
"I said before I set out that you are death row inmates, because of my kindness, you have a second life!" My voice rang out on the deck: "But, disappointingly, some of them have done something disgusting!" Mutiny! β
The voice mixed with internal strength echoed in everyone's ear drums: "You say, what should these people do?" Give me a plan! β
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then a voice began to be heard: "Hey sharks!" Feed the sharks! Feed the sharks! β
First the sailors were shouting, then the navigators followed, and finally even the prisoners of war and death row inmates began to roar! For these people, it is a blessing to be rescued from death, they have the discipline, the team, the ability, and they can make a comeback - even if they know that they will die after arriving at the new continent, they are still willing to fight for hope!
This is what makes military backgrounds different from others, and that's why I chose them.
I yelled, "Good! After the shouts were silenced again, I continued loudly, "You're right, they should be fed sharks!" So, do it! β
As soon as my voice fell, the nine ghosts waved his hand, and the ninja execution team behind him immediately stepped forward, and without saying a word, pushed several seriously injured and dead guys off the side of the ship!
The sound of "plop plop" rang out repeatedly, and these sinners who had been declared dead finally ushered in real death! In the boiling waters, mixed with screams and slapping water, there is already a shark carnival below!
Maybe there are too many people, or maybe the desire to survive is too strong, and some people actually grabbed the iron cable of the anchor when they were dying, and he clearly only had half of his body left!
The hoarse roar, which was particularly harsh on the open sea, coupled with the sound of bones being bitten and chewed, was enough to make many people shiver and gause! And I watched everything that was happening below with an unchanging face, until there was no sound at all.
I continued, "Alright, the first wave is done, let's move on and see what happens next!" β
The Nine Ghosts were about to give the order, but the death row prisoners on the boat who were waiting to be executed "pounced" and knelt down nearly a third! They pleaded that they were being bewitched, that it was Schweinstedt who was shaking people's hearts, and that they were willing to die to pay for their past sins.
I said "um", and when I looked up, the people who knelt down and begged for mercy were all the cronies of Schweinstedt that Mavi had said! And the others, who are more likely to be bewitched and may really just be melon-eating people who don't know the truth, are still standing and maintaining their last dignity.
Maybe they know that they will die, so these people have already seen it! I smiled and said loudly, "Then throw all these cowards who kneel and beg for mercy into the sea!" I don't need to dare to be a cargo on my ship! β
In the astonishment of everyone, these dumbfounded characters were thrown into the sea like dead dogs, and there was another boiling carnival!
The faces of the remaining sinners changed, and even though they knew that it was not themselves who went down first, their legs were still trembling with fear at the terrible sound of chewing and wailing belowβincluding Schweinstedt, who was standing at the front and stiffened!
By the time the ship had calmed down again, the sinners who were still standing were pale, but they also knew that the pleading was useless at this time, so they still stood still, but their bodies shook a little, but betrayed their true inner feelings.
I paused, but was silent, and the air on the deck seemed to freeze. When all were terrified, My Last Judgment came: "Now, then, throw all sinners into the sea!" Let them atone for their sins with death! "There was a commotion on the deck, and I looked at it for a moment, raised my hand, and stopped the commotion, and also stopped the execution.
I looked up at the representative of the POW corps, Leclerc, the French Brigadier General who had once been the highest-ranking soldier in the army, and his lips fluttered to tell me he had something to say.
So I said aloud, "Leclerc, what are you going to say?" β
The white-haired French commodore in his forties, in the prime of life, replied in his standard rough voice: "Captain! We have a request! β
I waved my hand and motioned for him to continue. After saluting me, Leclerc continued: "Captain! With your wisdom, we've cleared the ranks of most of the traitors, and the rest of them, who may just be bewitched, I think there's a better way to deal with them than by feeding the sharks! β
I asked with interest, "Oh! What's the best way to do it? β
Leclerc saluted again, but still said without humility or arrogance: "Captain! I've been on four missions to the New Continent, and the environment there is so harsh that every step I take is accompanied by blood. So, keeping these people may be of great use when they arrive at the new continent - at least, more useful than feeding the sharks! β
I couldn't help laughing, Leclerc's method seems to be the most feasible for both public and private. All in all, what he means is that the labor force is limited, and the cannon fodder is even more limited, if these people are all dead, then who is the first batch of cannon fodder that should rush up after arriving in the new big * land?
They must be prisoners of war!
Therefore, whether it is a physical injury or a tragedy, Leclerc stood up at a critical moment and made his position clear, in fact, the position of the entire prisoner of war team!
I was silent, and everyone seemed to have a lot harder to breathe, and time seemed to stand still!
After a long time, my voice seemed to come from outside the sky into the eardrums of everyone:
"Command! The prisoner of war camp was renamed the assault battalion! Led by President Leclerc and led by Mavi! From now on, strengthen combat training and no longer serve as miscellaneous laborers! "Below was stunned for a moment, the prisoner of war camp, no, there was a burst of shouts in the assault camp!
Although the name has been changed, the meaning of the representation is never the same! They used to be soldiers, and soldiers are not afraid to charge, even if they die on the full front! But they don't want to be prisoners of war, although it's better to die than to live, but for soldiers, a glorious death in battle may be better than stealing a life! And it's not their job to wipe down the deck and clean the toilets, they're better at fighting β and that's what they're willing to do.
"Command! The Artisan Battalion was renamed the Death Battalion! Run by Mavi. From now on, the amount of labor will be doubled and the food supply will be halved! "It sounds like a heavy order, but what is it compared to feeding sharks? The time of the death camp is also grateful to Dade!
"Third!" My voice came suddenly at this time, but those who were interested knew that I still had the most important thing to say: "Schweinstedt is guilty of demagoguery and sedition!" Others can not die, he, must die! β
As soon as I waved my hand, someone rushed up and tied Schweinstedt's feet with ropes - this was to make him head down into the water!
The guy had been relatively calm, as if he was considering something. But at this moment, when he saw the craggy shark fangs below and felt the binding force from the binding of his legs, his heart was shaken!
As the two ninjas lifted him high and was about to throw him out of the ship's side, Schweinstedt couldn't help but close his eyes, and he silently said something like the Bible. And when his body came out of the string and flew to the water, Schweinstedt suddenly faced the sea and shouted: "I am not convinced! My Matthias hit shouldn't have been! I'm not convinced! β
Just when he closed his eyes in despair, already feeling the splash of the sea and the bloody breath from the shark's mouth, there was a sudden huge pulling force on his legs!
In the midst of the tears, Schweinstedt, no, as he should have called Matthias, was slowly pulled onto the side of the ship......
