Chapter 699: Surrender? Not accepted!
"Emma, you see that the enemy seems to have raised a white flag, are they going to surrender?"
The encirclement of the Imperial fleet had been formed, encircling the sailors made by the Maori Dragon, and shells rained down.
At this time, half a day had passed since the start of the war between the two sides, and the sailors built by the Maori Dragon had already lost half of their warships.
On the surface of the sea, there are floating splintered hulls and wood chips, some buildings are still burning with raging fires, and cries for help can be heard from time to time in the sea.
Failed, and I have completely failed.
It's a matchup with a huge disparity in strength and no victory in sight.
The Maori dragon has been discouraged.
He knew that these enemies were not something he could deal with.
Even if you have more warships than your opponent, you will not be able to defeat them.
The results now prove a lot of problems.
If he persists, then he can only end up with a total annihilation, so he simply let his subordinates raise the white flag, hoping that the other party can accept his surrender.
Who wouldn't want to live.
As for Maori Longzao's mood at this time, Emma and the others don't want to know about it.
At this time, after hearing this, Emma raised her hand and put it on her forehead and looked around.
Sure enough, as Sara said, the other side has already unfurled a white flag, which represents the meaning of surrender.
Pouting, Emma looked very disappointed.
"I really don't understand why when you surrender for something, you will use a white flag, which is that kind of cloth. You must know that on the side of us Indians, if we want to surrender, we must at least present the leader's head to be considered sincere. ”
After listening to Emma's words, Sara smiled wryly.
She always had a hard time explaining some of the rules of the civilized world to Emma, after all, this matter could not be explained in a sentence or two.
Emma, after all, her heart and mind are still the thoughts of an Indian.
There is no way to change this.
Although she followed Zhao Hongyu's side, she gained a lot of knowledge.
But she was still an Indian little girl after all. When looking at problems, I can't help but think in the Indian way of thinking.
"So, shall we accept it?"
Sara asked.
Sara knows her status very clearly and clearly, although she is also Zhao Hongyu's wife, she still can't compare with Emma.
Especially at certain times, she also has to be dominated by Emma.
Actually, Sara is a smart woman.
She knew that she couldn't show herself too much, and although Emma had a good temper, she was still a little girl after all.
If you are petty like this, you can't stand it.
"Not accepted! What else are we going to go to Edo, didn't my dear say let's shell that place? If we accept the surrender of these people after that. Look after them. ”
Emma blinked her large, watery eyes, deciding the final outcome of the Maori Dragon's creation of them.
It's not that Emma is ruthless, it's just that the little girl thinks about this problem very simply with the thinking of an Indian.
The Indians on the American continent have a lot of wars and fights between tribes, and Emma has experienced a lot of deaths since she was a child, so she has been very indifferent to killing people or something.
And for the Indians, death was not a good place to go.
Because after death, the soul of man can return to the arms of the heavenly gods. There is no need to suffer in the world.
How nice it is to be in heaven, it is warm, there is no fighting and hatred, it is completely an ideal place to live.
Emma thinks she's a great person.
I have to say. Emma's mind is very strange.
Of course, on the American continent, her thinking is normal.
In one word, the life and death of almost 10,000 people were decided, but Emma had no emotional fluctuations on her face.
This made Sara deeply jealous.
She felt that it would be better not to provoke this little Indian girl in the future. In Sarah's opinion, Emma is a weak and ruthless existence.
In fact, Sara knew that she had completely wronged the little girl Emma.
Emma just thinks differently from the people in the 'civilized' world.
She didn't care about the lives and deaths of her enemies, and they had more important tasks to do.
For Emma. The enemy's life and death have nothing to do with her, she was still fighting just now, and now the other party can't fight and will surrender, how can there be such a good thing to say.
So, she has the right not to accept it.
It was always the idea of the Indians that a dead enemy was a good enemy.
Actually, Emma is not wrong to think so.
And Emma cares about Zhao Hongyu very much, since she accepted Zhao Hongyu's arrangement and task, she led the fleet to fight the enemy.
Emma, then, felt that everything had to be done in order to complete the 'dear' task, and everything else had to make way for it.
As she had considered, the surrender of these enemies was not unacceptable, but acceptance would raise many problems. The first thing is to send people to watch over them, but you have to have people to watch over them.
In this way, wouldn't it reduce the number of troops in the army?
That's not going to work.
At the same time, it also consumes a lot of its own troops and energy.
Simply, it's better to annihilate the other party completely, so that you can put all your mental head on shelling that Edo.
Emma's mind is simple.
It's not that she is cold by nature, and she doesn't take human life for human life.
In her eyes, there is only the goal of 'dear' and the mission she has promised.
She wouldn't care about anything else.
All the standards and norms of the civilized world are not used by Emma at all.
She is an Indian, and her mind is that of an Indian on the American continent.
Some pedantic ideas have no market in the little girl's heart.
In this way, there are good and bad.
At least, it seems that the benefits are a little more now.
As Emma and Sara talked, the nearby warships began to ask on walkie-talkies what arrangements were made for the surrendered flagship of the Japanese sailors.
To accept it or not to accept it?
Except for the flagship where Emma and Sara were, the other battleship captains were all Chinese genetic people as captains.
These are the genetic people of Chinese descent. Although he was cultivated through strange genetic techniques, he also inherited hatred for the Japanese people in his bones.
They didn't want to accept the surrender of the would-be people.
Although these Japanese are different from those in later generations, and they are from another time and space.
But, after all, they are also widows.
Being able to kill Japanese people still makes genetic people very excited and happy.
It's just that they have all passed the cultivation and training of genetic people, and they have the character of obeying the leaders in their bones.
They don't have much to do when it comes to such a big deal.
So, in a situation where the enemy raised a white flag and wanted to surrender, they could only look at what Emma and Sara meant.
But. From their hearts, all the Chinese captains wanted not to accept surrender.
"Sir! The captains asked, whether to continue the shelling, or to accept the surrender of the other side? ”
The herald on the flagship came to Sara and Emma, straightened up, and shouted loudly.
"No, sink the other party's warship, our next target is the coast of Edo, but we have never experienced so many prisoners."
Emma turned around and blinked her big eyes. There was still an innocent look on his face, but he said a cruel decision.
The herald immediately turned away and conveyed the order.
The warships that received this order suddenly became excited.
Poor Maori Dragon. And continue to withstand artillery bombardment.
"Emma, isn't that a little too cruel to do that?"
Sara is a woman in the 'civilized' world, and it is very difficult for her to understand that the enemy intends to continue the attack after surrendering.
Over there in Europe. If the enemy surrenders, the opposing side must accept it.
In addition, it is necessary to use a very chivalrous scene. Let's have a ritual of surrender.
Well, of course, the surrendering side will need to pay a large ransom to ransom their senior generals.
This is a very popular way in Europe, how can it not work here in Emma.
When Emma heard this, she looked at Sara with a puzzled expression.
In fact, the little girl also doesn't understand Sarah's way of thinking, just like Sara doesn't understand her.
The thinking of European women and American girls seems to be really out of tune.
"Why do you have to accept their surrender, and what does the life or death of the enemy have to do with us?" Emma was very puzzled, she really couldn't figure out why Sara would say such a thing. "In our Indian wars, even if the enemy is willing to surrender, we will slaughter their villages, kill them in large numbers of men, and then take their women and children as prisoners and trophies......"
Emma tells Sara about their Indian views on war, and their style.
Sara listened and shook her head in confusion.
"That's how we Indians war, and I grew up watching my fathers fight like this, and I didn't feel anything. If my tribe is defeated, then my father and many uncles will die, and my mother and I will become slaves, these are God's arrangements. ”
The Indians were very direct in their thinking, and there weren't so many twists and turns.
On the contrary, it was Sarah's rules from the 'civilized' world that made Emma feel a little difficult to accept and a headache.
Fortunately, Sara wasn't trying to convince Emma, she was just a little puzzled by it.
"Well, we don't need to discuss too much on this issue, after all, as you said, what does the life or death of the enemy have to do with us, let them die."
Sara was an adult woman after all, and she quickly felt that if she talked to Emma about it again, it would affect their relationship, so she ended the conversation.
Emma smiled and nodded, "That's it, that's it, these are all enemies, let them die." All we have to do is complete the task that our dear has given us, and his business is the most important. (To be continued......)
