Chapter 209: Eagle's Blood
"Can you agree with the answer to the first question?" Sekiyama Heavy Road.
Chu Ge hesitated for a moment, noncommittal, and said, "Second question, I want to know more about 'Blood Eagle' Wilson, whether he really ...... Killed many innocents in the Otherworld, and now has become a high-ranking member of the Earth Army? ”
"In the first half, I don't know, there are indeed a lot of rumors, saying that 'Blood Eagle' Wilson is a heinous cold-blooded butcher, whether in the immortal cultivation world or in the illusion world, he has created many bloody cases, and it is very likely to become an obstacle to peace between the earth and the other world, but this kind of thing has no real evidence, and it is impossible to slander a 'hero' with outstanding achievements based on a few rumors."
Guan Shan said, "In the second half, yes, 'Blood Eagle' Wilson is a lieutenant general of the Earth Army, a sharp-edged hardcore main battle faction, with countless supporters and great influence in the army and parliament, and his 'Double-headed Eagle Legion' is also a super-first-class unit with combat effectiveness second to none, built by the standard of expedition to the other world, including himself, he is far superior in combat effectiveness to 'Colonel' Ning Lie, and one of the outstanding super masters in the entire military system." ”
"You should know that 'Colonel' Ning Lie didn't lie, he did slaughter innocent people."
Chu Ge stared at Guan Shanzhong, "Major Guan, what do you think of a guy like 'Blood Eagle' Wilson, don't you think it's ...... Is it uncomfortable? ”
Sekiyama smiled very strangely.
"Do you think that 'Blood Eagle' Wilson is very evil, completely exterminating humanity, and even 'Colonel' Ning Lie is better than him, at least the Colonel will feel guilty and have the feelings of being a human being? So, you don't want to join the Earth Army because you don't want to be in the company of Wilson, the 'Blood Eagle'? Guan Shan asked rhetorically.
"If Wilson the 'Blood Eagle' really ruthlessly slaughtered one small mountain village after another, without guilt, and even with pleasure in it—isn't that 'evil'?" Chu Ge frowned.
"As I said, good and evil are not so easy to distinguish, and before I evaluate 'Blood Eagle' Wilson, let me tell you a true story."
Guan Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Calculating the time, it should be fifty or sixty years ago, when the Earth Alliance had not yet been established, but in some places, basic order was restored, and there were all kinds of regular armies.
"There is such a seven-man tactical reconnaissance team of the regular army, which has received orders from their superiors to cross a wasteland full of bandits and rebels to infiltrate and reconnoiter the rebel base.
"This is an extremely dangerous task, and the most important thing is not to be detected by anyone, otherwise, the seven-man reconnaissance team is not at all an opponent of a large number of rebels and bandits, so it is especially necessary to pay attention to concealment.
However, the scout team was on their way through the wasteland when they were spotted by a shepherd and his children.
"Most of the local residents are suffering from the rebels and bandits, and they live a miserable life, but they are forced by the rebels to cooperate with the rebels, and they are very likely to become the eyes and ears of the rebels.
"The safest option for this reconnaissance team is undoubtedly to kill the shepherd and his children so that they don't tweak the rebels.
"The six members of the reconnaissance team also think so.
"Their captain, however, has a different point of view—a righteous, emotional, more human point of view, just like you.
"The captain believes that the locals have been bullied by the rebels and are the victims in the first place, and if the regular army can kill people for the sake of secrecy, what is the difference between them and the rebels?
"What's more, besides the shepherd, there is also his child, can as a regular army, kill an innocent child at will?
The captain and his teammates got into an argument.
The shepherd also pleaded bitterly, and promised again and again that he would never tell the rebels - he hated them so much that he hoped that the regular army would eradicate them all.
His children wept too, touching the softest ...... in the scouts' hearts Human nature.
Eventually, the captain persuaded all the team members to tie up the shepherd and the child very strongly, and throw them in a cave, leaving enough food to help them untie when they returned from their mission.
Then they went on their way, carrying out their mission.
"As a result, hehe, they forgot to consider the goats - the shepherd's goats bit the rope and caused the shepherd to escape, perhaps out of fear, perhaps for profit, and immediately reported the presence of the reconnaissance team to the local rebels.
"At this moment, the reconnaissance team stepped into the death trap carefully prepared for them by the rebels and bandits in ignorance, and as a result of the fierce battle, six members of the team were killed on the spot, and the captain who shone with the brilliance of humanity was also seriously injured, his face was damaged, he lost an arm and a leg, and was dying before he was rescued by reinforcements."
"Ah......h
Chu Ge's eyes widened, and his heart was quite uncomfortable.
This is the crossroads that "Colonel" Ning Lie once faced, one of the possible consequences of another choice.
"The tragedy is not over here."
Sekiyama continued, "This reconnaissance captain, who made a big mistake and was seriously injured, is naturally not suitable to continue to stay in the army, however, even if he returns to his hometown, to his wife and children, the deep guilt and the ghosts of the team members still haunt him day and night, coupled with the physical pain and ugly face, he is tormented by post-war trauma syndrome, from the original warm and generous, to a strange temper, irritable, and alcoholic loser.
"Remorse and bitterness tormented him, and he, after getting drunk, intensified his torment of his wife and three children, and he turned his family into a small barracks behind closed doors, restraining his wife and children with the strictest military regulations, and saying that even the slightest mercy could be made into an irreparable mistake.
"After about ten years, his children grew up and rose up against the ugly and cruel tyrant, and finally, after a fierce quarrel, he ended the lives of his wife, two children, and himself with a shotgun, and only the youngest child escaped."
Chu Ge couldn't sit still.
It was as if someone was also pointing a shotgun at him in the back.
His chest and back were all dripping with cold sweat.
"You can't sit still, you think that's all there is to tragedy?"
Guan Shan spread his hands and said, "When the former scout captain dragged the entire family to destroy together, the youngest child lost everything in an instant—what do you think an orphan who has received strict militarization training since he was a child can rely on to survive in those chaotic years?"
"That's right, this little guy became a mercenary, and found that he had a very rare talent in this trade.
"He did a good job, and it didn't take long for him to break out of the great name of 'Blood Eagle' in the mercenary circle, and he also established his own mercenary group, called 'Double-headed Eagle', and after a few years, his mercenary group grew larger and larger, and the Earth Alliance also established a solid order, he naturally accepted the adaptation of the Earth Army, and after some hard work, he became the lieutenant general of the Earth Army by virtue of his outstanding military exploits."
Chu Ge finally couldn't help it and stood up.
"Is this true?"
Chu Ge lost his voice and said, "'Blood Eagle' Wilson's father once had a ...... That kind of experience? ”
"As I said, this is a true story, the details may vary, but it is generally not bad, 'Blood Eagle' Wilson is a hero who has achieved great results, and his experience, many people in the military know, is not a secret."
Guan Shan said, "You ask me what I think of the person 'Blood Eagle' Wilson, I really don't know - this is not a prevarication, but I think that the only difference between me and him is luck, I am very lucky not to fall into his situation, so I can still stick to the bottom line of human nature, and I can still sit here with you and talk about 'justice and evil', a lucky person should not judge an unfortunate person at will, my only evaluation of 'Blood Eagle' Wilson is that I pity him, that's all." ”
Chu Ge was silent.
Guan Shanzhong stood up, put all the information into his briefcase, and smiled casually: "Forget it, I can see that I'm afraid you're not suitable for joining the Earth Army - you think too much, it's difficult to become a good soldier." ”
Chu Ge was stunned: "Are you taking the initiative to reject me, soldiers can't have their own ideas?" ”
"Of course, soldiers can have their own ideas, but it's better not to deviate too much from the top, otherwise, you will be miserable, the army will be miserable, and those comrades who are infected by you will be even more miserable."
Guan Shan said, "Although it is a pity to miss out on a talent like you, but the melon that is twisted is not sweet, why let everyone fall into a painful situation?" I will say to the above, I have conducted a detailed psychological assessment of you, and your mentality is extremely unstable and does not meet the standards of the military - and it is also true, you are not a soldier, but a fighter. ”
"Soldier and warrior, what's the difference?" Chu Ge asked.
"Soldiers are called to obey orders, but soldiers are struggling to find what they are fighting for."
Guan Shan breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had put down a heavy burden, and said with a smile, "I wish you to find it soon, classmate Chu Ge." ”
Without hesitation, he turned around and strode out.
"Wait, Major Guan......" Chu Ge was a little stunned.
"Look, you are so sentimental and hesitant, how can you be a soldier like steel?"
Guan Shanzhong walked to the door, didn't look back, and waved his hand indiscriminately, "Then again, for the Earth Alliance, in addition to the soldiers who absolutely obey orders, maybe some sentimental warriors are also needed?" Forget it, when I haven't been here, go and accompany your 'little palace master', haha! ”
