Chapter 429: Forgivable

At this time, the form of the Restoration Army was very good, as long as the buffalo occupied Ibadan City with people again, Li Qingcang could completely need help from the outside world, and he could feed this team only by relying on these two oil fields.

Gorba, on the other hand, has lost its most important economic source, and the balance of war will be tilted more smoothly in favor of the Restoration Army, and if it is not good, there will be no war, and the army on Gorba's side will collapse on its own.

But there was civil strife in this knot, and Li Qingcang was quite unhappy.

Dad knew that Li Qingcang was an emotional character, and after learning that the murderer was the leader of the refugees recruited by Li Qingcang on the grassland.

even told Li Qingcang a few words in the car: "Qingcang! The Ruba and the Haosa have been grudges for hundreds of years, and we, as outsiders, can't understand the degree of hatred between the two sides at all.

"At this time, you must not be emotional, if you deal with it well, bad things will become good things! If it is not handled well, this group of Ruba prisoners of war will not be able to stay, and the slogan we preach will become an empty phrase of self-deception. ”

Li Qingcang replied calmly while driving: "I understand what you mean!" Also know what to do? I told them again and again that they were not allowed to oppress the Haosa prisoners of war, and they still dared to go against the wind, what is the use of military law if I don't kill him? ”

"Also pay attention to appeasing the emotions of the Ruba warriors, don't let them think that you are cold-blooded and ruthless, and use them as tools! Didn't the resourceful Prime Minister Zhuge in your Romance of the Three Kingdoms behead a general named Ma or something? Learn from him. Daddy admonished again.

The street pavilion is lost, and the tears are slashed! I know this allusion, don't worry! Li Qingcang nodded and replied, stepped on the accelerator, and the Hummer galloped quickly.

After more than three hours of galloping, we finally arrived at the battlefield of the day, the air in the wilderness was slightly putrid with a hint of rancidity, the wreckage of tanks and cars was lying quietly on the grass, and countless corpses were scattered on this battlefield full of bomb craters.

A large number of flies and mosquitoes were happily flying over the corpses, and flocks of vultures were circling in the sky, making extremely piercing chirps from time to time. Seems to be quite angry at the humans who have robbed them of their delicious food.

A large pit that has not yet been completed before several large excavators have stopped working,

The two groups of men and horses are bounded by a deep pit, and each side is clearly distinguished.

The polar bear and the chieftain were each standing on the tracks of the excavator, holding a loudspeaker, and there was something loudly said to the soldiers on either side.

Diana wore a mask and carried a large medicine box with her medical team, but she didn't seem to feel the tension in the field, and was not disturbed at all, still spraying disinfectant everywhere on the battlefield.

Li Qingcang drove a Humvee directly through the two groups of people, and came to the edge of the pit to get on and off the car.

As soon as they saw him come out, the two groups of people who had been quiet suddenly became agitated. They all rushed towards the car.

"The commander-in-chief is here, you want to give us a judgment! Do the rules of peaceful coexistence between the two ethnic groups of the Restoration Army count? Someone shouted in the heap of Hausa soldiers.

"Yes! Yes! They simply wouldn't let us go. The Hausa soldiers shouted in a hurry.

"Commander-in-chief, don't listen to these guys' nonsense, they don't really surrender at all, a group of scum who bully the weak and fear the hard, greedy for life and afraid of death, it's a shame to have these people in the Restoration Army." There were also loud shouts from the group of Ruba soldiers.

Li Qingcang was tall and keen-eyed, and as soon as the two loud voices spoke, he followed the sound and stared at the person who spoke. Seeing that the soldiers on both sides were rushing up to him for comment, he knew that he couldn't let them come at this time.

These Hosa prisoners of war had just been captured, and it was a time of unrest for people's hearts. And the Ruba warriors have just won a battle, it is the season when people are impetuous, these guys have been trained for too short a time, and they don't know the rules very well, if they are surrounded, they can't be confused with their mouths.

Quickly lifting his breath, the man had already jumped high, hovered in the air, and landed on the roof of the Humvee gently, skillfully, steadily, and at the same time beckoned to the polar bear not far away.

The polar bear realized and threw the horn in his hand. Li Qingcang grabbed it, put it to his mouth, and shouted, "Stop me!" Since I am here, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. With so many of you, who do you want me to talk to? ”

He was already strong in internal strength, although this voice did not carry the internal force, but the voice was still a few points louder than ordinary people, under the effect of the tweeter, like thunder rolling and surging on the grassland, so that the personnel on both sides heard it clearly.

His prestige in the hearts of the Ruba people is naturally unparalleled, and the Haosa people are also in awe of his status as commander-in-chief.

Seeing his strong jumping ability made everyone stunned for a moment, and after hearing him shout, they all subconsciously stopped to see how the commander-in-chief was going to give everyone a satisfactory explanation.

Li Qingcang saw that the two sides stopped, and immediately pointed to the two people in the two camps who had just spoken out and said, "Just now, the two of you were the loudest, and you both said as if you were very aggrieved, come!" It's the two of you, come and make things clear to me, and I promise to act impartially and never show favoritism.

"The others took the pit as a boundary, each retreated, and before receiving my order, they crossed the line and were punished for rebellion, and some crossed, whether it was a Ruba or a Haosa, and were shot on the spot.

"Lieutenant Colonel Hassell (Chief), you come with a hundred men to defend this central line.

"Lieutenant Colonel Walker (Polar Bear) go and bring me the murderous Lieutenant Kobeiro, and we'll figure things out here!"

A series of orders were issued, and the men on both sides were awe-inspiring, and the chief shouted at his own troops: "Assemble and line up!" ”

A group of Ruba people quickly gathered in front of him, and quickly stood in order of height and shortness. After a brief report, the chief and a hundred soldiers lined up in a long line between the two squads, each with a gun in hand, staring at both sides.

The polar bear jumped off the excavator and went to the back of the line to pull out a Hausa lieutenant with his hands tied and a look of disgruntle.

When several people came to the side of the Humvee, Li Qingcang also jumped off the roof of the car, and saw that the people and horses on both sides retreated to both sides of the pit according to his orders.

Only then did he glance at the Kobayro with a cold face, and asked, "Kobayro, tell me, why did you violate military regulations and kill the soldiers of the Haosa tribe?" ”

Kobeiro smiled sadly and asked, "Commander-in-chief, what do you say a man should do if he sees the enemy who raped his wife and killed his son?" ”

Li Qingcang understood as soon as he heard it, "This is a enemy with a narrow road, and the one who was killed by him is probably the enemy of life and death who ruined his family, no wonder he dared to shoot and kill people in disregard of strict orders!" But this is not a question that can be answered arbitrarily.

According to his heart, he naturally slapped his thigh", so what else do you want? Fuck it, of course! ”

But he is now the commander-in-chief of a force of tens of thousands of people, and his every move will affect the future development of Nijalia, of course, he can't let his feelings speak.

After pondering for a moment, he replied: "That's a good question, but before answering your question, I also have a question to ask you, what is the slogan of the Restoration Army?" Is it 'let the people of the two nationalities put aside their grudges', did I make it clear to you when I went to the grassland to recruit you, hoping that the two peoples will live in harmony from now on, and let these grievances end in the hands of your generation? ”

Kobyro smiled bitterly and replied, "Yes! But ......"

Li Qingcang waved his hand, "You just need to answer whether it is or not, and the reason will be explained later, I will ask you again, after becoming a soldier, your instructor taught you, is it the duty of a soldier to obey orders?" ”

Kobeiro bowed his head and replied, "Yes, on the first day in Lagos, Lieutenant Colonel Walker said this to us. ”

"Did you comply with it as a soldier?" Li Qingcang asked majestically.

Corbeiro bowed his head and whispered, "No." ”

Li Qingcang sighed: "Kobairo, I understand your feelings, as a man, from the bottom of my heart, I agree with your approach, but as the leader of an army, I can't tolerate your behavior."

"I remember on the way to the grassland, you told me that you people were forced to break up by Gorba, and my family was ruined, and I promised to kill Gorba to avenge you.

"If you want to talk about hatred, who of you people doesn't have hatred? Including Prince Henry, whose family was killed cleanly by Gorba, doesn't he hate?

"My beloved old captain also died at the hands of the Hausa people, don't I hate? If everyone is like you, killing the enemy when they see it, isn't the Restoration Army no different from Gorba? Isn't it an empty phrase to let the feud end in the hands of your generation? ”

"I was wrong! Commander-in-chief, I know that I have violated military discipline, and I have made a bad start to the Restoration Army, so you can deal with me! I have no complaints! Corbyro said abruptly looking up.

When the Luba tribe on the side who was called over by Li Qingcang heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground and begged: "Commander-in-chief, please spare Kobairo!" He is the most courageous warrior in our group, he didn't want to disobey the military order, but the two Haosa soldiers were too arrogant, holding the military order not to oppress them as a shield, and laughing at us for being a group of eggless seeds! ”

Li Qingcang gritted his teeth and asked the Haosa soldier in a cold voice, "Is there such a thing?" ”

The Hausa soldier shrunk his neck and replied with some fear: "I don't know very well, but I saw Dekka and Musayh arguing with this lieutenant, and they laughed and said that you have the ability to shoot, and then this lieutenant shoots!" ”

Li Qingcang looked up to the sky and sighed, and was silent for a long time before he whispered: "His feelings are forgivable, and his sin is unforgivable, Kobeiro!" Military law is ruthless, and no one can save you, but I admire you as a bloody man, and if there is anything else you can't let go, tell me, I will definitely help you do it properly. ”

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your understanding! I also have an old mother, and now I am staying in a temporary resettlement site set up by the Lagos City Government, and I hope that the Commander-in-Chief can help me take care of it in the future, so I have no regrets! Cobyro said calmly.
