Chapter 173: Mingzhi
Head Cao is also very good at pretending to be crazy and stupid, and he has not done less in this business. But his pretending to be crazy and stupid is nothing compared to Brian Shaw. When Captain Cao does this, he often does it to make a profit, while Brian Shaw serves others, which is commonly known as undercover.
As soon as Brian Shaw mentioned the name Lambis, Captain Cao suddenly thought of a person, the elegant Wolf werewolf nobleman he had seen in the main city of Memphis, and the very rich old fellow. It was as if it had been a flashback to that night in Memphis, except that the conversation was more explicit. With Rambis's identity and status, of course, it is impossible for him to speak out openly about these sensitive topics of power disputes, and he only implicitly said that Commander Cao would have a certain understanding after he came to participate in this southern expedition, but it was not until this time that Commander Cao really understood what he meant by those meaningful words at that time. In the end, it was Brian Shaw who came to negotiate on behalf of Lambis and Head Cao. Head Cao can only say that this bag is really not in place.
"Head Cao, since you have already met with Lord Rambis, you should know how much Lord Rambis values you. The information about Commander Cao and the soldiers of your regiment fighting alone in the Exiled Realm was naturally told to me by Lord Rambis. After all, behind the soldiers of your raiding regiment is the city of our wolf clan, and it is very easy to know this information. And you came to participate in the Southern Expedition by yourself, I believe you have already felt the intention of Lord Lambis to recruit you that day, right?" Brian Shaw is now almost completely free, and it is the first time that he has spoken so eloquently in front of Captain Cao.
"Excuse me, I don't feel anything, I'm doing well, and I've always been a loner, and I don't need any strong allies. In my opinion, we are all screws in Beamon's society. None of them worked. Captain Cao smiled and patted Brian Shaw's shoulder, and Brian Shaw was completely shocked by Captain Cao's words.
In Brian Shaw's opinion, Captain Cao is simply talking in a dream. In the current state of the Beamon Empire, only an idiot would not know, except for the three major power factions, who is not forming a gang to seek benefits? Does Captain Cao mean to go it alone? Does he think that he is a hero like Leonardo who is a hero in one place and one place for a day? Brian Shaw can even conclude that it is so easy to get out of such a complex group with such a complex power system? Brian? Xiao has already witnessed countless arrogant guys who can't get up when they fall, and many of those people are still from famous families, and they have what they want. What is Captain Cao? An alternative Ace donkey priest. Even Brian Shaw's background is thousands of times better than this, if Brian Shaw is not wrong, the current Ace donkey people can be the biggest official except for the special guy Cao Tuan, that is, the village chief and the like.
Captain Cao has always been really different from other people, on the surface, Captain Cao seems to be more greedy than anyone else, and he will never let go of any petty profits. But in fact, this product is so greedy. It's just because he was poor and scared before, and he really wants to spend the place where he should spend, but he is not ambiguous at all. Take the Alchemy Studio of Nobeier, which is now the most money-burning under the Raiding Group, even the group of goblin apprentices in Nobeier know how good Boss Cao is at talking. But Nobeier went to find Captain Cao. Captain Cao's routines are fixed, first squirting a few words of trash sourly, and when Nobeier begins to feel unconfident, he can't help but encourage Nobeier with all kinds of encouragement. In the end, I had to honestly sign my name on the material application form of Nobeier, and there was never an exception. And what did Nobeir Alchemy Contribute? So far, all they have produced are all kinds of strange parts and components that Norbeir imagined. The only purpose of these things is to be viewed as abstract art, and there is no admission fee.
This also reflects the difference of Captain Cao from the side, perhaps because of the experience of the two worlds he has experienced, or perhaps because of the influence of the Blood Sacrifice, Captain Cao can be said to have a true heart for all the Beamon orcs. If we can create a fantastic Datong prosperous world, Head Cao will definitely do it without hesitation. With such thoughts and ideas, it is not difficult to understand the attitude of Captain Cao in the face of Leonardo and others, Captain Cao has never been loyal to any force in the real sense, even His Majesty Pedro is not his boss, he is just out of respect for His Majesty Pedro's personality, so he finally took over the position of head of the plunder regiment, His Majesty Pedro also understands Captain Cao very well, and has never given orders to Captain Cao, this time Prince Raul came to persuade Captain Cao to leave the southern expedition, it is the first time in history. The relationship between Head Cao and His Majesty Pedro should be described as a divine friendship, and there is a very unique tacit understanding between the two.
He was unusually unkind to the Rhine led by Stern, and even had a certain prejudice against Leonardo before, which was also the mind of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of Commander Cao. Since Captain Cao recognized His Majesty Pedro as a Ming monarch, then naturally the current Beamon Empire is also the orthodox rule in Captain Cao's heart, and Captain Cao recognizes His Majesty Pedro as a person. This is the luck of Commander Cao, fortunately, the current emperor is not a mediocre and incompetent person, otherwise Commander Cao has a more difficult road to go if he wants to change the Beamon Empire. So under such a rule, there is also a separation of powers, and there is an open and secret struggle between many power factions, so these people are considered to be the objects that must be corrected in the eyes of Commander Cao. If you don't even accept such a Ming monarch and want to engage in separatism, it is simply treason! This is the view of Regiment Commander Cao.
Now it seems that Rambis should be a very prominent and powerful figure in the wolf clan of Wolf, and the old guy's energy is definitely much greater than Captain Cao expected. The Wolf Wolf Clan has always been known for its unity, even if Rambis lives in Memphis, the main city in the south, and is also very closely connected with the main city of Stuttgart in the east, if it weren't for this, Captain Cao would not have received a hint from Rambis when he first arrived in Memphis. But being regarded by Rambis as an ally that could be recruited, Captain Cao didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky, and he gave the impression that he was a guy who was easy to be bought? Even if he is obsessed with forming an alliance with the powerful people of the Wolf family, he will always be just a follower, and it will never be possible to dominate.
"Come on, Captain Cao, it's not like we don't know your character and personality. You are a person who dares to express your thoughts, but this time, under pressure from some quarters, even if you are unhappy, you finally have to swallow your breath and withdraw your troops. And needless to say, you should also understand why I want to break you up at this time. Because in the eyes of some people, Captain Cao, you are not qualified to share a piece of the pie with them. When someone like you who doesn't have any power or background leaves here, you will immediately show the greedy faces of the various power factions in the empire!"
"Have you ever thought about it, but in fact, I don't care as much about this so-called spoils sharing conference as you think? Can't you see that the head of this regiment is a moral and noble person in his bones? Maybe it's better not to see these images, but I can still have beautiful fantasies about the unknown world. Head Cao said seriously. And the eleven bachelors of the plundering group next to him were already rolling on the ground with laughter, and Captain Cao was simply a set of big truths, the key was that his ability to tell nonsense in a serious way was really not something that ordinary people could imitate. In the words of Regiment Commander Cao himself, with his mouth, he can top 100,000 armored soldiers. Turning the tide in times of danger and playing the heroes in times of peace.
"Captain Cao, are you making fun of me? I'm seriously discussing with you. Brian Shaw was visibly stunned, and it seemed that the back of the raiding group had not had a proper shape at any time. There was a pause. Brian Xiao then said with an embarrassed face: "Only we are the ones who are truly discerning and can see the extraordinary things about Captain Cao. I can pat my chest and assure Captain Cao that as long as you nod your head now, there will be powerful people who will stand up for you immediately, and you will also have the opportunity to participate in this harvest that you have worked so hard to come back from......"
"Enough! Shut up the fuck!" Captain Cao finally couldn't help but let out a roar, and Brian Shaw was also frightened. Head Cao said with a blushing face: "Then what do I have to pay in order to get such an opportunity? Become an eagle dog and lackey of some big people? From now on, look at other people's faces and do things? Take a closer look, is Lao Tzu such a person? And I want to trouble you to tell those big people behind you, even if I, Cao someone, are now sitting on the spoils table again, can't I turn my face and deny people in the future? Could it be that I, Cao someone, am such a person who values credibility in their eyes? If so, then what do they mean by seducing me with such naked interests? It's a ****** mess!"
"I remember clearly, although my plundering group is small, I still have an acre and a third of land that I have worked so hard to cultivate. Look around me, these are my brothers in life and death who share hardships and hardships, not pawns and abandoned pawns who can be sacrificed at any time in the eyes of big people. Even if we are poor, we will not starve to death. Even if we don't have any good backgrounds, our ambition is by no means to be puppets who are being held by others! We fight hard for our destiny and refuse to bow to anyone. Now, you can go back to your master with these words. The soldiers of the plundering regiment who said what Commander Cao said applauded one after another, and Commander Cao's words were also their hearts. They may not be as long-term and great as Captain Cao thought, but they all understand a very simple truth, now they are fighting for themselves, if they become working for others, it means that they will lose their current passion and dash their hope for the future life, which is not an exaggeration.
It took a long time for Brian Xiao to come back to his senses, and he squeezed his hands in disbelief, and he couldn't even believe that these words were said by Captain Cao. What Captain Cao said is not wrong at all, Brian Shaw came today, and the conditions offered were indeed promised by the powerful people of the Wolf family, and they positioned Captain Cao as a powerful guy who likes to be reckless and messing around, such a person has no clear political tendencies, no strong background, and it is very easy for them to be cleaned up. And they claim that they can be used as the umbrella of Captain Cao, and they can provide convenience to Captain Cao as much as possible, and what Commander Cao has to pay is the autonomy he has worked so hard to manage, and from now on, he has to bow to them.
However, they never thought that Regiment Leader Cao would refuse so simply and without thinking. Brian Shaw believes that Captain Cao understands this truth, and once he refuses Brian Shaw's proposal, it will be equivalent to offending those Wolf magnates, which is very simple, from their point of view, there is absolutely no third possibility in the struggle for power. And Captain Cao has worked hard to gain a certain reputation in Stuttgart, once he offends the powerful people of the Wolf family, then this relationship will also be in vain, and the price is not heavy!
"I see, Captain Cao, I will bring your meaning to them. There are many things that cannot be changed by a small person like me, but I really want to say to you that you are a respectable person. Whether it's on the battlefield or in terms of this choice, you're always impressed. To be honest, you did accept their invitation, and maybe I wouldn't have respected you as much as I do now. "Brian Shaw waited for a long time, and then bowed respectfully to Captain Cao, Brian Shaw knew that it was useless to say more, Captain Cao's eyes Brian Shaw had seen, it was a kind of firm and confident performance to the extreme, would such a person be moved by other people's words? )
