Chapter 440: Innocent Victims

Diego introduced the skinny soldiers, "This is General Simon, the chief instructor of the Sharp Marksman Regiment. ”

Hearing the words "Sharp Shooter Regiment", Ji Aojian immediately squinted his eyes and stared at the special musket on Simon's back.

The earliest sniper in human history originated in the North American Revolutionary War. While European armies were still accustomed to lining up to shoot, the militias of North America had begun to engage in individual free combat, inflicting great casualties on the British army.

The origin of the Sharp Shooter Regiment is rumored to be led by an American major named Sharp, who constantly improved firearms and sniper methods, shooting and killing many high-ranking British officers with incredible long-range precision shooting, and many times in exchange for great victories at a very small cost. Later, the gunner, who shot accurately and calmly, became known as the Sharp shooter.

Of course, in the war between weak colonies and strong suzerains, this is a forced act. After all, the ubiquitous resistance of everyone with guns can greatly increase the cost of repression in the United Kingdom. In the Boer War at the beginning of the twentieth century, the British would once again enjoy a resistance movement that was shot coldly by the whole people.

In the current era, because rear-loading rifled guns have not yet become popular, European countries are still accustomed to the large firepower output of platoon guns. The U.S. military and militia, on the other hand, have inherited the mode of fighting during the Revolutionary War. So it means that the vast majority of the real snipers in this world are still in the United States.

Ji Aojian thought in his heart, this chief instructor of the Sharp Archer Regiment was very likely to be better than the Rakshasa Grandmaster he saw in the Northeast back then. At the very least, the woman was just an output point of powerful firepower. No ambush tricks are shown, and General Simon must be a venomous snake with a knack for lurking.

Seeing the Indian boy's reaction, Simon asked coldly. "Judging by your expression, you know where I came from. ”

"Know some. Ji Aojian nodded, "I met a dueling opponent before, called Moder, and he claimed to be from the Sharp Shooter Regiment. ”

Simon's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, "It turns out that you killed Moder!"

"The people of your shooter group went to our gold mining area to collect protection money, and you think you can be okay with such a behavior of crossing the line?"

The gentlemanly soldier was a little surprised. "Can he kill Modell? ”

"No!" Simon grimaced, "he killed Moder with a cold weapon. ”

"If that's the case, as a psychic master. It is not very difficult to kill Moder in a sneak attack. ”

Ji Qingsu immediately said, "My brother just said, what is this Moder." is his dueling opponent. It was a normal duel. ”

"Unbelievable, this is so lucky. The gentleman-type soldier said to Ji Aojian, "Young man, if you don't change your thinking, this way of fighting will kill you one day in the future." ”

"Thanks for the reminder. Ji Aojian said seriously, "I think that when I still use cold weapons, my combat effectiveness is a little stronger." ”

"Since you say so. Simon said coldly. "Then I use a gun, you use a sword. Now for a duel. ”

"Why not?"

With a flash of cold light, a shining bayonet appeared in Ji Aojian's hand, pointing straight at Simon, "Come on!"

Diego frowned, "What's the point of you dueling at this time? ”

Ji Qingsu became even more nervous, "Brother, are you crazy? This person's mental sense is not much worse than yours, how can you win him?"

"Whether you can win or not, you will know after you try it. ”

On the other side, the chief instructor's companion was also disapproving, "Simon, there's no need to do it now. ”

"What, you think I can't kill him?"

"You shot this Indian, just when you couldn't defend against it, and his sister suddenly attacked you with some powerful means, and I'm afraid you couldn't stop it. ”

Simon thought for a moment, "Yes, even if it is said to be a duel, you can't expect the Indians to keep their word. ”

Of the five people, the other three were not in favor of the duel, and without a notary, it would naturally not be possible.

"I'll let you go once today. Simon said with a cold face, "I will see if I have a chance in the future, what kind of strength you have with cold weapons." ”

"Opportunities, of course. Ji Aojian withdrew his bayonet and said casually, "If we can go back alive, the United States will go to war with Mexico next year, and then we will meet in front of the two armies." ”

"That's it. ”

Diego immediately asked, "The United States is going to war on Mexico next year, are you telling the truth?"

Simon didn't speak, and his companion thought for a moment and said, "We haven't gotten any news yet. The right to go to war belongs to the president and Congress, and we, as soldiers, can only act on orders. ”

Diego took a deep breath and said calmly, "Mr. Li, thank you, I see." ”

Ji Aojian asked, "This gentleman, I don't know your name yet. ”

"Robert Lee, from Virginia. ”

"Oh, I've heard of the name for a long time. ”

Robert asked curiously, "You knew me for a long time?" and I wasn't a famous person. ”

"An excellent soldier like you is destined to be extraordinary in the future. ”

Ji Aojian thought silently, this guy has such strength, no wonder he will soon be a blockbuster and shine, and he will almost become a myth in the civil war in the future.

This Robert E. Lee, the star of the American Civil War, served as the commander of the Southern Army during the Civil War in the future, fighting more with less, and forcing the Northern Army into a desperate situation several times.

Prior to that, he had shown military prowess in the Mexican-American War, so much so that President Lincoln wanted him to be commander of the Northern Army from the outset after the rebellion in the Southern states. But because he was born in the south, he ended up in the rebels' army.

Throughout the two wars he participated in in his life, one was a war of aggression and the other was a war of rebellion, but he was regarded by later generations as a model of the perfect soldier. It can only be said that this person's luck is not ordinarily powerful.

After a while, the scene was completely silent, and Ji Aojian asked, "My sister and I plan to enter the volcanic eruption zone to have a look, what do you gentlemen say?"

"In the mountains ahead, the surface is very unstable, and lava can erupt at any time. "You can't do anything when you go in, you don't have to take any risks." ”

Ji Aojian sighed, "I still have to go in and have a look, just watching from the outside, I am always a little unwilling." ”

"Of course they should go in, it's their responsibility. ”

Simon's gloomy voice rang out, "The supervolcano erupted in the Americas, and the Indians are suspected of vandalism, and they must give an explanation to the people of the world." ”

Ji Aojian couldn't help laughing, "This is our responsibility?

"This mountain range, which was sacred to the Indians, is now the source of the destruction of the world, and it is simply because you have not done your own thing. ”

"The Indians are not able to continue to maintain the sacred mountain, which is caused by you. Ji Aojian glanced at him contemptuously, "You white people, conquer land, exterminate races, plunder resources, and advance industry all over the world. This kind of destruction of nature and other civilizations will eventually lead to great consequences that will be devoured on all mankind. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Since the Age of Discovery, population growth has been much larger than in the Middle Ages, but is the number of psychics decreasing?"

The three of them could not deny this.

"There should be harmony between man and nature, and there should be harmony between civilizations. Every extinction of a species, every extinction of a civilization, is destroying every ounce of life on the planet. Ji Aojian said lightly, "In this world, there are many ancient civilizations that have explored very advanced knowledge and technology, and the reason why it seems that they are still in a backward state is because they have consumed important social resources, suppressed various hidden disasters, and guarded the safety of the earth." When you wipe out all these civilizations, you will suffer the wrath of nature. ”

Ji Qingsu's cold voice sounded, "It will also affect our innocent civilizations." ”

Robert coughed, "Your point of view can't be said to be unreasonable." In the future, we need to give more consideration to the common development of humanity as a whole. ”

"In Mexico, European immigrants and indigenous inhabitants have been able to live on an equal footing. Ji Aojian sarcastically said, "In the United States, the original owner not only has no civil rights, but is also being slaughtered and driven out, how can there be any sign of common development?"

"There may be some mistakes in the federal government's policy. "But there is no evidence of whether the cause of this disaster was the destruction of the Indians or our influence." So let's not argue about it, now that our liberator has gone in, wait for his good news. ”

"He can't. Ji Aojian shook his head, "So we have to go in to solve the problem of the volcanic eruption." ”

"Well, if you want to die, let it go. Simon snorted, "Even if you don't fall into the magma and burn to death, if you get in the way of the liberator, you will be killed by lightning." ”

"Then you don't have to worry about us. Ji Aojian turned his head, "Mr. Diego, I want to give you a gift. ”

Diego was a little surprised, "What is it?"

Ji Aojian handed over a box in his hand to his sister, "Xiao Su, load this musket first." ”

After a few moments, he handed a breech-loading gun to Diego, "This is our best craft rifle in California, please take it." ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Diego thought for a moment and said, "But I'm more used to using the sword I carry with me. ”

"Uncle, you need to change your thinking, not to fall behind the tide of weapons development and become the tears of the times. Ji Aojian persuaded, "Besides, it's always a good thing to have a variety of choices." ”

"Do you really want to go in?"

"Of course. ”

Robert watched as the siblings walked some distance forward, and suddenly said to his companion, "This spear doesn't look worse than the special muskets of your archery regiment." ”

"You're right. Simon's face tensed, "It's not time to fight a duel." (To be continued......)
