Chapter 39: The Catfish Effect (Part I)
"Affluence and comfort will make people lose their bloody courage and scheming, and infighting often arises from this; Crises can make people tenacious and resolute, and the team will be cohesive. ”
Shi Shaoying stared at Abdushir and said softly: "Commander, you occupy the city of Eyl, you can attack and retreat, you don't have to fight with the warlords around you for a little profit like a few years ago, you only need to sit in the center to make money every day." The most rare thing is that you know the limits of your ability, so you will never meddle in politics, whether it is the Al-Shabaab armed rebels, government forces or northern warlords, no matter how fierce the fight between them, what a good God-given opportunity, you will stick to the city of Elle and never stretch out your hand to cross the line, just by this self-knowledge, the city of Elle can be easily mixed in the confrontation of various forces. But when everything settles down, away from the sunset and the wars and crises, you soon discover a crisis, a terrible crisis. ”
Abdushir was noncommittal to Shi Shaoying's words, but suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to a chair in front of him, "Sit." ”
Peter showed an unconcealable consternation on his face, there are absolutely only a handful of people who are qualified to sit on this chair and face the marshal, which means that the division and young eagle are unobtrusive and seem to anger the marshal at the same time, instead of being punished, the marshal has been looked at differently.
Shi Shaoying unceremoniously sat on the chair in front of Abduhil, "modesty", a virtue that has been prosecuted by Chinese literati for thousands of years, is worthless in Somalia, where the strong are respected! In front of an overly murderous tyrant like Abdushir, the only way to gain his respect and recognition is to fight-for-tat.
"The key point that reminds you that this crisis cannot be ignored comes from Jacques."
Shi Shaoying dared to mention Jacques again at this time, which can be said to be bold to the limit, "We have a saying in China called. Rich but three generations', the first generation of empty-handed world, naturally is extraordinary, their sons even though the talent is mediocre, but with the parents together to start a business, even if the entrepreneurship is not enough at least more than enough, but to the third generation, those children grow up in the hands of the back house woman, are overprotected one by one like grass in the greenhouse, whether it is courage and courage are lacking in the courage to move forward sharply, but the bias is higher than the sky, and the end must be 'born in sorrow, die in peace' ending. ”
"Look at your son Jacques again, Sir, you have established a base camp in the city of Elle, which can be attacked and defended, and it has only been a few years, and Jacques has become a lawless fool who dares to act willfully and recklessly without even knowing what opponent he is facing! This is not only because the comfortable environment is easy to breed pride, but also because you are used to being poor, and after suddenly making a fortune, there is a psychological backlash due to congenital inferiority. ”
Shi Shaoying's words are not untargeted, different life experiences will make people show different postures in the face of wealth. Take the Taiping Rebellion, which swept across the land of China at the end of the Qing Dynasty and almost overthrew the Manchu regime, the Manchu regime still existed, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had already begun to fight for power and profit, and the internal purges were even more numerous, and finally evolved into serious internal divisions, which finally allowed the Manchu government to seize the opportunity to counterattack and completely extinguish the fire of a vigorous uprising.
The biggest reason for this is that most of the generals of the rebel army are short-sighted peasants, and although they can form a group to resist a strong enemy in difficult times, when they have conquered half of China, they have lost their nature, lost their original sharpness, and lost too much strength in the internal struggle.
The "Somali Marine Corps" formed by Abdushir has too many similarities with the Taiping rebels in the late Qing Dynasty on some levels.
"So from the very beginning, you put pressure on me, with seemingly impossible tasks, forcing me to do everything in my power to pull off miracles. I am a catfish that was thrown into the pond by you, because of different skin colors and different races, as soon as I entered, it caused the instinctive hostility of most people, so everyone felt the crisis and united to take action and regain vitality and vitality! In this case, of course I have to be sharp, of course, I have to show my teeth and claws to be murderous! ”
Shi Shaoying's words were finished, but his gaze involuntarily fell on Abduhir's wrist.
Abdushir wore an old-fashioned mechanical watch on his wrist that was worth tens of dollars at best. This kind of watch has to be wound every twelve hours, otherwise it will stop moving, looking at the old and old watch on Abduhir's wrist with a crack on the dial, and then looking at the half-worn color on the metal bracelet, Shi Shaoying's eyes slowly showed a trace of sincere respect.
As a person in a high position, once blinded by wealth and power, how many people can judge like Abdushir? Marx once said that it takes at least three generations for the nouveau riche to wash off the smell of copper, which is a bit extreme, but it represents a philosophy of deep reflection on human nature. With just one shot, Abdushir smashed the original watch worth tens of thousands of dollars, along with the copper stench of the nouveau riche.
"You're dangerous, more dangerous than I expected. It's so dangerous that I'm starting to worry about what I'm going to be like in Eller in three years if I let you keep going. So, I just made a decision......"
Shi Shaoying was listening, he still had an indifferent smile on his face, he sat on the chair, and every muscle in his body maintained the most comfortable relaxation, but only Shi Shaoying knew that at this fateful time, Beethoven's symphony of fate echoed in his ears!
"I have decided that in this game, no matter how many feats you make, at least keep you in Eyl City for three years and six months!"
Hearing this, even with Shi Shaoying's composure, he still couldn't help but shake his whole body violently, and half of the symphony of destiny, which was famous for its grandeur, came to an abrupt halt in his ears, and the forcibly interrupted notes continued to tremble in the air until such a distinct tail note was formed...... I'm!
At this time, Shi Shaoying really didn't know whether he should be proud or proud, or he should shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly. The commander of the Somali Marine Corps, who has been in a hundred battles and stepped on countless corpses to finally reach today's status, Abduhir, who can definitely be called a generation of heroes, actually regarded Shi Shaoying as a catfish for self-motivation!
"If, after three years and six months, you still haven't started a rebellion, I'll strike back at you and leave you dead with everyone around you! This time, I temporarily modified the rules of the game, so I also made an exception for you and gave you red dates in advance. ”
Abdushir raised his hand, and a string of shiny metal objects flew over in the air with a small and broken sound, and Shi Shaoying grabbed it casually and pinched a bunch of keys into the palm of his hand.
"This is my wedding gift for Jacques, he doesn't need it anymore, but you can use it as a base to recruit troops and accumulate the strength to rebel against me. I can guarantee that no matter how you develop your strength before three years and six months, as long as you have not officially 'rebelled', I will always maintain a state of 'trust' in you, but in order to make you stronger, I will continue to create difficulties for this catfish for you, so that you can become stronger in desperate situations, until you have the qualifications to confront me! ”
Interpreting Abdushir's words, Peter's eyes widened, and although he could understand Abdushir's intentions, he really couldn't accept this kind of behavior that was almost digging his own grave. Abdushir's words pushed the shock in Peter's heart to a peak: "That silver cross is the key to the safe hidden on the inside of the wall of the master bedroom, and you can take out the money in it and use it as you like." ”
Peter, who has been with Shi Shaoying for the longest time and knows Shi Shaoying the most, opened his mouth, he really wants to remind Abduhir to be careful, Shi Shaoying is definitely not the role of a passerby, give him time and soil for development, no one dares to guarantee what will become in three years, this is not counted, the handsome is still ...... Rivals!
Looking at the chic silver cross in the keychain, Shi Shaoying, who had already eaten sweet dates, felt bitter in his mouth.
He made a public promise that he would rebel in three years, and Abdushir sang a song that would keep him for three years and six months.
If his division Shaoying is not ready for the "mutiny" after three years, it is best to raise his hand and surrender to the commander Abdushir within six months, and honestly be a horse boy under him for the rest of his life, otherwise, once he enters the war period after three years and six months, Shi Shaoying and everyone around him will inevitably face Abduhir's overwhelming and comprehensive purge, and there is no hope that there will be a little luck!
The most terrifying thing is that in order to resist the rebellion from within three years later, Abdushir will never dare to be careless in the next three years, and will inevitably go all out to develop his strength, looking at the powerful position that Abdushir now has in El City, and then thinking about what he may achieve after three years of working hard under the pressure of death, Shi Shaoying feels his scalp tingle.
The more "convenience" Abdushir gives him at this time, the more outstanding he will perform in the next three years, and the greater the pressure on Abdushir and the more violent the backlash will be!
This game of "first accompany the prince to study, and then be the prince's enemy" is really not fun!
The worst thing is that Shi Shaoying couldn't refuse at all! Thinking of the bold words he made yesterday, and the speech he had just talked about in order to show his wisdom, and was finally cited as a "catfish" by Abdushir, Shi Shaoying had the urge to slap his two mouths.
Don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be struck by lightning, this sentence is really fucking honest and don't deceive me!
