Chapter 40: The Decisive Battle of the Copper Furnace Base (Part II)

Behind Pinault's triumphant voice, a discordant voice sounded.

"But, Commander, do you hold on to the nutrient solution until you die of old age? This is not the life I want, I don't want to live like a frozen person. ”

The adjutant said very sadly.

Pinault immediately drew his pistol and tried to kill the disloyal adjutant, even though half a minute ago the adjutant had been his most trusted right-hand man and the most loyal dog, but the fact that he said such a thing was enough to show that the dog's loyalty was wavering.

However, before the pistol could be raised, Pinault was smashed to the ground with the butt of the Combine Private Guard next to him.

Pinault suddenly found that the most loyal personal guards around him were all looking at him with unkind eyes.

The adjutant picked up Pinault's pistol, tasted it carefully, and said with a smile: "General Pinault, it doesn't feel good to be betrayed." “

"You bastard! I'm so nice to you guys, all of you are treated with the best! “

The adjutant snorted coldly: "When you were under the original commander of the base, you were also treated the best; After your good brother seized power, he gave you the best treatment, but you still did not hesitate to betray them and execute them, didn't you? That's what I've done by your side. “

Pinault was speechless, and after being stunned for a long time, he shook his head and muttered to himself: "I, Pinault, countering the rebellion, fighting the insect swarm, I have done my best, how did I get to this point......"

"You treat your subordinates too harshly, you censor and purge at every turn, everyone in the army is afraid of you, afraid of you and hates you, and today, the watch base has ruthlessly destroyed your prestige, and those officers who want to rebel against you are starting to move."

"Even your personal guard has betrayed you, for your precious foolish son has called the private guard like a slave, and it is I who have come to uphold the dignity of the warriors. When the families of the fighters were in trouble, it was I who stepped in to solve them for them. You made everyone fear you, but I gave everyone kindness. “

Pinault was dismissive of the adjutant's words, and even laughed shamefully: "That's just because I failed, my adjutant, don't think that these people follow you because of your kindness, in essence, this is just to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the master they really want to serve is not you, but Ji Tianping!" ”

"Bang-"

The adjutant pulled the trigger, and the muzzle of the pistol was inserted into Pinault's mouth, and the blood hole exploded in the back of Pinault's head. A generation of heroes has come to an end.

..................................

While Ji Tianping was still discussing with Renault how to teach the informants who had betrayed false information a good lesson, and how to find Pinault, who was hiding like a mouse, a group of Marines suddenly reported that they had surrounded a strange team. The man at the head claimed to be the lieutenant of the Copper Furnace base, and they killed Pinault and wanted to surrender to us, while asking the commander to fulfill their promises.

"Immediately confirm whether it is Pinault himself, take all the officers we have captured to identify them, and if one person says it's fake, immediately this team, and if three people say it's fake, then kill this team immediately!"

However, none of the officers denied that the miserable-looking corpse was Pinault himself, and some even cried out and shouted, "Sorry Commander, we didn't do our duty." ”

Pinault is finished, and the resistance of the copper furnace base collapses in an instant,

It seems that the most proud of this is not Ji Tianping as the victor, nor the front-line commanders Renaud and Maraka, but Pinault's adjutant Chude, a guy who has been promoted three levels by betrayal. Ji Tianping, of course, fulfilled his promise, and immediately announced it to all the Combine soldiers on the base radio.

At the same time, a message was also conveyed: all the combined forces immediately surrendered on the spot and accepted the reorganization of the Marine Corps.

Pinault was ...... He's dead? ”

Obviously, he was still discussing how to punish Pinault, whether to shoot or shoot him, but when he saw Pinault who was shot in the head and knew that he didn't look like a man, Ji Tianping even had a feeling of regret in his heart. A few days ago, the two sides had drunk and talked about each other, fighting side by side in order to fight the swarm together, but today, Pinault, one of the heroes, has died at the hands of man.

"The universe is very big, but the colony star is too small to accommodate the coexistence of two heroes, if it weren't for the blessing of the system. General, you should be a hero I respect! Ji Tianping said inwardly, but he would never regret his actions. In war, there must be no mercy for the living enemy.

"When you are alive, you and I are enemies of each other, and you live and die, but you and I have no personal grudges. Bury the general, remember, with the etiquette of a true Union general. ”

Ji Tianping ordered the marines, also in front of the prisoners of the combined army. Ji Tianping didn't know if the prisoners of the combined army had any psychological activities, but what he inadvertently glimpsed, Adjutant Chu De's unintentionally flickering and evasive eyes, still revealed his flustered mind.

So, Ji Tianping then added: "Adjutant Chu De killed Pinault in time to avoid more casualties among the Marines and the Combined Army, which is meritorious, and I will also fulfill my promise to promote Adjutant Chu De to the post of lieutenant colonel, temporarily acting as the commander of the copper furnace base, and responsible for managing the aftermath and reorganization of the copper furnace base for me." ”

"All officers who revolt in time retain their official positions and property unchanged. Those who were defeated and captured were first reorganized and trained for three months, and then divided according to their achievements, with the top half being reorganized into the Marine Corps Auxiliary Army, and the second half being coolies! ”

....................

Seeing that there was no one around, Renault approached Ji Tianping's side and whispered, "Commander, do you really plan to keep Chu De, a traitor villain?" And give him such an important position? ”

Ji Tianping: "Of course, you have to be true to your word. ”

Renault was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "Ha, commander, I understand, just such a skinny tone at you, I'm sure Chu De won't live long." “

Ji Tianping hurriedly said: "I'm not going to plot to assassinate this sinister villain, besides, I want to set a good example for those who sneak attack in the future." At the very least, during the three months of the reorganization, we have to protect him, if he is smart enough, he knows that he has to rely on our Marines and work hard for our cause in order to gain security and rights, and the Combine will not tolerate a traitor who has no support to live so chicly. “
