Chapter 708: Battle
The reputation of a hero is a pile of fresh lives, and Mao Wenlong's achievements today are also obtained by many officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, in exchange for their blood.
When the war was about to start, Mao Wenlong called all the generals in the navy, and there were some things he had to say. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will have to go to the graves of these people in the future.
At this moment, in front of Mao Wenlong, there are one hundred and thirty-seven men, some of whom are over forty years old, and some of whom have just passed the age of establishment. There are some familiar faces and some unfamiliar ones.
They stood upright, their salty breeze blowing on their armor and making them sweat. No one paid attention to it, because everyone's hearts were quite hot at the moment. Think about their own lives before, and how they live now, and no one feels like they're at a loss.
In the past, they were not clothed and hungry, but it was with Mao Wenlong that their days were rushed, and it was because they joined the Dongjiang Army that they had today's glory. Being a human being can do without anything, but only without dignity.
In this era of war, human life is like ants, and life and death are commonplace. Instead of trying to survive, it is better to give it a go and earn a future for yourself and your family. Life is not valuable, as long as there is a chance to kill the enemy and earn military merits, they are ready to give their lives anytime and anywhere!
They didn't have any worries, because they all knew that Mao Wenlong had always been the most kind to the families of these soldiers who died in battle. There have been countless examples before them, so no one will doubt Mao Wenlong's sincerity!
"Today is different from the past, and this time you should also know that it must be a fierce battle. The strength of the Wako is indeed unexpected, but we must not back down, and this battle can only be won and not lost. When friends come, we have good wine, when enemies come, we have swords and guns, and we will never allow the pirates to show their teeth and claws on our seas. ”
Mao Wenlong said sonorously and forcefully, and with the serious expression on his face, the generals present were all bloody.
The three brothers Lihui, Licheng, and Lixuan were even more excited and red, and Mao Wenlong's words just now obviously poked at the soft spot in their hearts. Lihui immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and shouted: "Please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, we will defend our dignity and territorial waters to the death, and will never let the Japanese invaders run rampant here." ”
Licheng, Lixuan immediately shouted in unison: "Swear to defend our territorial waters." ”
"Defend our territorial waters to the death ......"
The rest of the generals immediately shouted in unison, and for a while, everyone's emotions were aroused, and the shouts pierced through the sky!
Seeing that everyone's emotions were mobilized, and there was no decadent situation that Mao Wenlong was worried about, he ordered to prepare for the battle immediately. The three brothers of Lihui led the people to retreat, and Dudu Jiaolong stayed, this guy had a smiling expression on his face, and he blocked Mao Wenlong's way.
"What's the matter?" Mao Wenlong asked in a deep voice.
"Chief soldier, I don't know if I should say a request at the end?" Jiao Long looked embarrassed.
"If you have something to say, just say it, the war is about to start, young mother-in-law." Mao Wenlong frowned and spoke coldly.
"That's right, those pirate brothers have a request, and I hope the general soldier will measure it up." Seeing the indifference on Mao Wenlong's face, Jiao Long suddenly became more nervous.
"What the hell is the request?" Mao Wenlong began to get impatient, seeing that the Japanese had already attacked, but Jiao Long was still entangled here.
"The brethren hope that after this victory, the general army will be able to distribute to us the ships or artillery of the Wakos. Of course, the general soldier does not need to give any more benefits afterwards, and these are enough! Afraid that Mao Wenlong would be angry, Jiao Long said the pirate's request and did not forget to explain.
Mao Wenlong's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking? Seeing such a situation in Jiao Long's eyes, he became more and more nervous. You know, there are a lot of warships and artillery firearms of those Japanese pirates, all of which are armed with pirates, which is a completely different version of the Japanese pirates.
In this way, the pirates immediately rose a few steps in strength, which was not conducive to Mao Wenlong's control over the pirates at all. It was precisely for this reason that Jiao Long at this moment was afraid that Mao Wenlong would not agree, so he was also ready to bargain early in the morning.
But seeing Mao Wenlong's expressionless look, Jiao Long began to regret that the price he had just asked was too high.
Just when Jiao Long thought it was going to be bad, Mao Wenlong suddenly said, "Yes." ”
Jiao Long was stunned for a moment, and asked stupidly: "Did the chief soldier just say that it was okay?" ”
At this moment, he was completely shocked, so he was still a little unconvinced, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"Yes, as long as you can defeat the Japanese Kou this time, no matter how much loot you have, it will all be distributed to you." Mao Wenlong said sonorously.
"Mr. Xie, I'll go back and tell you the good news!" Jiao Long was so excited that he grabbed his ears and cheeks, and was about to leave.
Mao Wenlong suddenly shouted to him, and said solemnly: "It's no problem for the spoils to belong to you, but if you let me know who dares to retreat from the battle, then don't blame the general soldier for turning his face and not recognizing people." ”
This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, Jiao Long was stunned, quickly put away the joy on his face, and then assured Mao Wenlong seriously: "Please rest assured, if someone dares to escape, I, Jiao Long, will be the first to cut off his head, and I will not tolerate it!" ”
Mao Wenlong nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead!" ”
Jiao Long respectfully bowed his hand and retreated, and then left quickly.
Haoda's expression was a little hesitant, and after some hesitation, he finally spoke: "General soldiers, the number of warships of the Japanese is quite large, and once we win, all of them will be owned by the pirates. Then the pirates will inevitably jump a few steps in strength, and we won't be able to control them like we do now. ”
Mao Wenlong looked at Hao Da appreciatively, thinking that this guy is thinking more and more about things now. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of most of the people, Mao Wenlong explained with a smile: "You are right, but you must know that the power of the Japanese Invaders this time is huge, and even if we fight with it, we will not be able to win easily." Under such circumstances, how many of those pirates do you think will survive in the end? ”
Hearing this, Haoda hesitated for a moment, he pondered in his heart for a while, suddenly came to his senses, respectfully with deep admiration, bowed to Mao Wenlong and said: "What the general soldier said is extremely true, but it is vast and short-sighted. ”
Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said: "It's okay, just look at things in the future and think about it deeply, don't be confused by superficial phenomena and ignore the essence of things." ”
