Section 70 Laughing at Fate (Fourth Update, Favorite Collection)
"Rabble...... Do you really want to say these four words? ”
Mo Cheng straightened his originally somewhat casual body, stared straight at Kalman, and said. Although he still has a light smile on his face, behind this smile, there is an unconscious compassion and disapproval hidden.
This made Kalman feel an inexplicable sense of oppression coming suddenly, like a cold snap without a forecast, making people feel uncomfortable and stunned.
As if realizing that his inadvertent attitude had brought Kalman unhappiness, Mer Cheng lowered his head and paced to the other end of the command room, which was three or four meters away from Kalman.
"Kalman, in your opinion, what is the right way to examine a person?"
"Listen to his words, watch his deeds, and observe his surname."
"How long does it take to determine whether a person can be trusted?"
"If it's a junior position, it's at least one year, and if it's a big job, it's at least ten years."
Mo Cheng nodded, put his hands behind his back, and continued to pace, "If the time were a hundred years earlier, I will tell you what I would do - I would first join a well-known admiral as an officer. Then spend 20 years to accumulate military exploits, wealth and prestige, and another 20 years to build your own contacts and team. After that, I can set up my own door, first be a commander in peace, and then join a small alliance, and spend thirty years fighting for this alliance, in the process, I must not only expand my own strength, but also expand my team, and cultivate a perfect officer selection and reserve officer system. After that, I will usurp the position of leader of the alliance, and for the next thirty years, I will make the most of my military, diplomatic, and commercial means to expand my power and accumulate enough allies. When all is done, I will sit in my study and wait for troubled times to come. ”
Speaking of this, Mo Cheng's words suddenly changed, "However, now it is not only not ten years, not even a year, and when it comes to the most serious, it is likely that it will not even be a month." At this time, a false attempt to slow down is tantamount to looking for death. ”
"Not in a month? Is time short? ”
As a genius commander with a strategic index of twelve, Kalman was not unaware of some of the information that Merce knew.
However, because he was not really trusted by the king of Dingnan, and his relationship with other admirals was incompatible, he did not have any very accurate information. And this also made him misjudge the situation to a certain extent, in his opinion, the large-scale turmoil in the whole universe will probably take another ten years, and it will not start until five years at the earliest.
Mo Cheng didn't answer him, but handed the minutes of the meeting that Yuris had backed up to him and handed them to Kalman, "Listen to it yourself, and see if I'm an alarmist." ”
Doubtfully, Kalman took the minutes of the meeting from Merce, and after reading it for less than three minutes, he hurried to the end.
When he saw the results of the final meeting, Kalman had a strange smile on his face, as if he couldn't believe it, and as if he was saying that it was so.
"That's why Prince Yuris chose me as an ally, because he didn't have time to choose a better ally than me. And again, the reason why I chose these people, including you, to be my teammates is also because I don't have the time. I'm just like him, and anyone above the level is a precious asset to us. We are not qualified to pick and choose, we must unite each of these people and make the most of his role. ”
Kallman shook his head disappreciatively, "But even everyone, including me, is at your disposal and unites for the time being. However, this solidarity is always a temporary one, and a rabble is a rabble after all. Unless you can bring it more victories than it expected time and time again, it won't be long before the team falls apart. ”
As soon as Kalman finished speaking, Merce said, "Then create unexpected victories again and again." ”
"But what if there's a setback in between? That was immediately out of control. Gathering like a strong wind, defeat like scattered sand, from the era of earth civilization in the ancient century, all the way to the era of Emperor Lucifer's hegemony, are there still few such cases? ”
"That will fix the frustration."
Mo Cheng sat down, he was sitting in a chair, but his back was straight, and it didn't touch the back at all.
His left hand rested naturally on his left leg, and his right arm rested quietly on the podium, and the light on the podium leaked through the five fingers he had placed on the podium, forming a sparse shadow of light under his palm.
"If the sea is in our way, fill it up; If the mountains are holding us back, then push the mountains; If the stars stand in our way, then sweep away the stars; If the heavens are holding us back, then go against the heavens...... Man was able to become human not because he could stand up and walk, but because he had a will stronger than any beast. If a human being loses his strong will, he no longer deserves to be called a human being, but is reduced to a mere animal. ”
Mo Cheng's expression was unusually calm when he said this, and his tone was so gentle, but instead of soothing Kalman, it made him feel even more creepy, because it made him even more convinced that what the young man in front of him said was not from the heat and arrogance of the moment, but from the heart and the thoughtful heartfelt words.
"You...... Do you really think you can overcome fate? ”
Kalman himself didn't know what was going on, the young man in front of him was obviously gentle, but he had a strong sense of uneasiness, so much so that when he spoke, he unconsciously seemed much more cautious, as if he only needed to say a wrong word, and Mo Cheng would rush up and tear him apart.
"Fate?" A contemptuous smile appeared on Mo Cheng's face, "If I succumb to fate, then I will be dead when I was born. The fact that I am able to live so healthy now is in itself a mockery of fate. ”
Mo Cheng paused at this point, and then said in a flat but firm tone, as a summary of all the above words: "If I really want to talk about fate, then I am destined to go against the sky from the moment I was born. ”;
