Chapter 38: Okay, We're Friends (Part II)

"Yes!"

Shi Shaoying clapped his hands vigorously and shouted loudly: "The more masters you are, the more super swordsmen you are, and the more you can chop bullets with a katana, but you have to do a good job of safety precautions!" If you can make the enemies with automatic rifles in their hands feel that they can't fight them at all, then you, the swordsman, have truly succeeded! ”

The swordsman thought seriously: "If I really have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, with my physical strength, I can wear three No. 5 body armor at the same time!" ”

Shi Shaoying waved his hand generously: "Cheng, no problem!" ”

Peter was really going to burst into tears. Think about it, brothers, it turns out that this blonde swordsman is such a simple swordsman, he dared to break into the Somali pirate base camp with two katanas, and even dared to use the blade to directly chop the oncoming bullets, which fully proves that he is a fearless hero in the face of death, how can he communicate with Shi Shaoying for less than half an hour, and he began to think about wearing three No. 5 body armor on his body in a row?!

Even body armor is available, so may I ask, grenades, smoke grenades, flashbang grenades, incendiary grenades...... Judging from the appearance and size, these toys that are closer to the bombs dropped by the ninja will be far away?!

Think about it, a contemporary swordsman who aspires to become a great swordsman like Miyamoto Musashi, holding a katana more than three feet long in his right hand, the full name of which is "Plane Fragmented Complex Dark Light Pattern Blade", a large-caliber self-defense pistol pinned to his belt, wearing three No. 5 body armor, a bulletproof shield on his left arm, several grenades, incendiary grenades, flashbangs and smoke grenades on his chest, and an RPG bazooka behind his back, and maybe there will be another MP5 submachine gun plus a number of magazines...... Does Shi Shaoying want to cultivate a modern swordsman, or does he want to make a future super humanoid combat mecha equipped with a machine gun and a small-caliber artillery, plus a katana, which can be chopped and strafed at close range, without adding diesel, and can also be suitable for all kinds of worst natural environments, and can recover naturally after being damaged?!

There was a sudden series of grunts in the air, and Shi Shaoying stared at the future humanoid mecha's somewhat emaciated face: "How long have you not eaten?" ”

The swordsman looked calm: "Two days." ”

Shi Shaoying's attitude towards him was as if a brother was inviting his brother to the house for a drink: "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." ”

"My mom told me not to accept invitations from strangers."

"Poof......

Hearing the swordsman's answer, he just opened a bottle of water, and Peter, who wanted to moisten his throat, sprayed it on the spot.

"You're called a swordsman, aren't you?"

"Hmm."

"You used to have mild autism, but now you're okay, right?"

"Hmm."

"The long katana in your hand is one of the three most famous blades in the world, and its name is, um...... Flat fragment complex dark light pattern blade, right? ”

"Hmm."

"This knife is made of jade steel, forged using the traditional Japanese forging method, and your parents spent a lot of money on it, right?"

"Hmm."

Shi Shaoying's eyes widened: "I know so much about you, can I still be regarded as a stranger?" ”

The swordsman thought for a moment, "No. ”

"Since we're not strangers, we're friends. Let's go, it's time for dinner. ”

After saying these words, Shi Shaoying turned around and left, and Peter immediately followed closely and asked in a low voice, "How do you know so much about him?" ”

Shi Shaoying shrugged his shoulders lightly and said indifferently: "Guess." ”

"Shi Shaoying!"

"Here!"

"What do you think I'm here for?"

"What else could it be, the pirate leader's lair?"

After translating the above four sentences of dialogue, he was obviously standing in a villa only a few hundred kilometers away from the equator, and it was now noon in the hot summer, and he was still wearing a suit that was not worth his life, and Peter, who was the translator, still couldn't help but shiver.

Abdushir sat on a chair and quietly stared at Shi Shaoying standing in front of him, and Shi Shaoying also looked back at Abdushir calmly.

"You said yesterday that if I don't let you go after three years, it's hard to say who will sit in my position as the pirate boss. I thought of your manifesto as a half-joke, but now I've changed my mind. ”

Abdushir said indifferently: "If you want to make a world in Somalia, it's actually very simple, you have guns, money, people, dare to play with your life, and a little opportunity is enough." You have not yet gained the most basic trust in my heart, and you have not even recognized the people in my villa, and you are already eager to pull people inside, just with your ambition and action, I should have listed you as a dangerous target. Shi Shaoying, tell me, if you were me, there was a white-eyed wolf standing in front of me who was bold and reckless, who made it clear from the beginning that he wanted to betray and usurp the throne, and it was impossible to raise a mature man, what would you do? ”

"I will hold a wooden stick in my left hand and a sweet date in my right hand."

Shi Shaoying raised his left hand and made a wave movement, "I will continue to give this guy high pressure, so that he will continue to encounter pressure and challenges that are ten times more difficult than the people around him, if he can't hold on and wilt, it means that he is good at paying lip service but is actually an unbearable look, in the face of this kind of high-eyed and low-handed role, it is the king to throw him out of the door and let him fend for himself." If this guy can continue to break through at high pressure, I will hit him with a stick first, and then stuff a sweet date into his mouth, so that he will grit his teeth with hatred for me, and at the same time break through more painfully. ”

"Oh?"

Abdushir's expression remained unchanged, "A dangerous target with great ambition and being able to break through the pressure and grow, I should have eliminated it quickly, why should I stuff sweet dates into his mouth to fuel his arrogance?" ”

"We have 9.6 million square kilometers of land in China, and the people who live on it have always been proud of their motherland's 'vast land and abundant resources.'"

No one knew that Shi Shaoying was obviously facing Abduhir's questioning, and why he suddenly turned to China's vast land and resources. Speaking of his great motherland, which has a 5,000-year-long history and civilization, Shi Shaoying's eyes were full of shining brilliance, and even his voice gradually rose: "Due to the vastness of the territory, there is a huge gap between the climate in the south and the north of our country. In the regions closest to the north, the mountains are covered by heavy snow for eight months a year, and rice is not produced once a year. However, in the winter in some areas of southern China, wearing a single coat can resist the cold, rice can be produced three times a year, and in Hainan Pole, it can even be harvested four seasons a year. ”

"The dividing line between the north and the south of our country is in the Qinling Huai River, so there are two 'groups' of 'southerners' and 'northerners' due to geographical differences. The climate in the south is mild, the soil is fertile and the water is beautiful, as long as it is not a faint monarch who is as harsh as a tiger, the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, so there are more literati and writers in the south of our country, and they are good at using power; In the north, especially in the three northeastern provinces, once the Siberian cold current blows, the night temperature can reach minus 40 degrees, even if you are wearing several layers of cotton clothes, you will accidentally freeze your ears, if you want to resist the cold, you have to drink more spirits and eat more meat, so there are more heroes in the northeast, and you can fight red ears on the wine table, even if the recruits are on the battlefield, once the blood surges, they dare to fight with bayonets. ”

In fact, not only China, throughout human history, the characteristics of any nation have a great relationship with the land in which their ancestors have lived for generations.

Russia, located on the Siberian Plain, can be said to be one of the most warlike peoples. In order to resist the cold, they will drink a lot of vodka with a very high alcohol content, regardless of gender, old and young, which makes them as hot as fire, and in the Second World War, countless former Soviet Red Army, but also with their young lives, witnessed the greatest backbone of this nation that will never give in even after the wind, frost, rain and snow. It is not an exaggeration to say that their land is an inch of blood!

Looking at the history of the Cold War that has been declassified for 60 or 70 years, it is enough to know that a certain think tank in the White House once said, "We have the ability to destroy the world, but the Soviet Union dares to destroy the world."

Let's talk about Japan, which has formed a great enmity with China because of aggression for decades, and the influence has not dissipated. They live on islands and endure the worst natural disasters such as tsunamis and earthquakes, which cost them their lives, but at the same time, because entire nations are always under the threat of death, they develop an almost instinctive expansionist force. Whether it is the bushido that pushes everyone's potential to the limit, or the katana that exerts speed and lethality to the limit on the battlefield, but gives up self-defense, it is the most direct portrayal of the characteristics of this nation because of the geographical environment!

As for the Chinese who often call their national characteristics "cotton needles", the biggest reason is that the south is the place where the entire country's culture is spread and promoted, and most of the officials produced through the imperial examination are from the water towns south of the Yangtze River. Only when the strong enemy invaded the mountains and rivers were broken, and the literati could no longer use the pen to support the world, the generals could occupy a place in the court and become important.

Once the habit of "emphasizing literature over military force" is broken, the people's customs turn to strong, and the land is vast and vast, how can there be a lack of heroic sons and daughters? ! In the final analysis, the so-called "cotton needle" characteristics are just a yardstick for the change of influence between literati and military generals in the court.
