"The kidnapping of Meng Yanglong, the attacks on Cuifeng Village and Duolin Temple are all mercenaries that I have improvised together. The incident at the hospital only cost me an extra amount of money......" After taking a puff of his cigar, the old Rezenov said proudly: "As a mercenary, you should know that many people in this world want to end their lives, but they don't have the courage to commit suicide. You should also know that many people urgently need to get a sum of money for various reasons, and are even willing to take risks for this reason. So, I gave them the money and fulfilled their wishes. ”

It turns out that things are so simple, as the old saying goes, "there must be brave men under heavy rewards", in fact, as long as you give enough money, you can still buy the dead.

Cang Hao sneered and said: "Ambitious people raise an army by themselves, and you spend money everywhere to buy them, so they are only loyal to money, but not to you." But at the same time, there is also an advantage, that is, there is no need to worry about casualties and losses, and it is difficult to trace you after the incident. After the attack on the Palace of Friendship, we didn't find any clues from the attacker. ”

"I admit what you said, after all, the people and horses that were put together temporarily sometimes made it very easy for them to do things, so Meng Yanglong's side missed. ”

"Anyway, I thought you would use great ideals to inspire others to dedicate themselves. Cang Hao said a little sarcastically: "I didn't expect it to be bought by money!"

"Chonyimabi Rinpoche, I believe you know that there is a saying in Buddhism that "first seduce with desire, and then bring into the wisdom of the Buddha. Old Rezenov is really not boasting, he does have a certain understanding of Buddhist culture: "No matter what means I use to make them die, in short, their death achieves a correct purpose, then they are martyrs!"

"You mean to do things only for the result, not the means, right?"

"So to speak!"

"What about the hostages in the hospital?" Cang Hao smiled coldly: "They are just ordinary people, ordinary fathers, ordinary children, ordinary doctors and nurses, they are not interested in your so-called great ideals, and they don't want to die at all." The mercenaries you bought are all tired of being crooked, but why do you let them become martyrs?"

"So the question goes back to what we discussed earlier, that a great cause requires a certain amount of sacrifice. Old Rezenov said nonchalantly: "Canghao, you have been used to seeing life and death parting in the years you have been a mercenary, do all those who died really want to die? From your comrades-in-arms to your opponents, do they really not want to live a good life?"

"You're really a bit of a sophist. With a cold smile, Cang Hao said meaningfully: "I admit that we can't eradicate all kinds of evils in this world, and there will always be wars. We can't change it completely, but at least we can make the wars less frequent, which means that not too many innocent people will die innocently. And the hatefulness of you, old Rezenov, is that you made the war more of it, and you let a lot of people who could have survived also die. ”

"If their deaths can make the war less, do you think their deaths are worth it?" Old Rezenov spread his hands and asked again: "If the death of a thousand people can save the lives of ten million people, do you think it is worth it?"

"You think your terrorist acts have brought peace to the world?"

"Of course. ”

"Can you stop bragging about B?"

"Cang Hao, of course you are very smart, but you don't know me......" Old Rezenov smiled and shook his head: "You don't know what I really want!"

"Well, even if what you say is true, I don't think that even for the sake of 10 million people, those 1,000 people deserve to die. Shaking his head, Cang Hao sneered and said: "This, this is the so-called tyranny of the majority, this is a very complex philosophical issue, even if we discuss it here for three days and three nights, there may not be any results." ”

That's right, it's hard to convince anyone. ”

"Anyway, I don't care what your so-called great ideal is, I just don't agree with it. Cang Hao told old Rezenov word by word: "Don't even dream of relying on your improvised mercenaries." ”

"A failure in the Palace of Friendship doesn't mean anything, and I need to remind you that Duolin Temple and Cuifeng Village are merciful to me. ”

"Shouldn't I thank you?" Cang Hao spat out a smoke ring at old Rezenov: "There are not many Spartan warriors left, you can be hired by you, you really have energy!"

"Thanks for the compliment. Old Rezenov laughed: "If I had sent a few more Spartan warriors over at that time, the village of Cuifeng would have been bulldozed!"

"Although your subordinates are merciful, our beam is also getting deeper and deeper, and sooner or later the swords will meet!"

Old Rezenov was noncommittal to Cang Hao's words, but just smiled: "Cang Hao, do you think you are the opponent of the Spartan warriors?"

"I explained to Meng Yanglong what a Spartan warrior is, but I didn't say everything, there is actually a history between a Spartan warrior and a blood lion mercenary. ”

"Oh?" said old Rezenov with great interest: "I would like to hear about it!"

"Want to know the answer?" Cang Hao smiled: "Go find it yourself, as for who is higher and lower between us and the Spartan warriors, we have to compete to find out, right?!"

"I agree with that. Old Rezenov looked at Cang Hao and said word by word: "However, in fact, even if you don't send Spartan warriors, just temporary mercenaries, it is enough for you blood lion mercenaries to deal with it." Because they dare to die, and there are so many of them, it is these improvised patchwork men and horses that have completely annihilated the Alpha special forces in the hospital and inflicted heavy damage on the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so I believe that I can rely on them to achieve my great ambitions. ”

"In this way, this terrorist attack is a double blow to the Russian government, and it also brought the anti-terrorist elite with you. Cang Hao knew that the Russian side had suffered heavy losses, but he didn't expect that the most elite Alpha would be completely annihilated.

Old Rezenov nodded: "So to speak. ”

"You didn't just destroy the hospital, because you need to highlight the incompetence of the government, so let the terrorists prescribe a condition that the government simply can't accept. Furthermore, you could have let the terrorists die with the hostages, but instead you let the terrorists execute the hostages one by one. These pictures were disseminated to the whole world through the media, and it even more appeared that the Russian government did not take the lives of the people seriously...... "Cang Hao gave a thumbs up to the old Rezenov: "You lack virtue enough!"

Old Rezenov smiled and nodded: "You have analyzed my tactics very clearly. ”

"I'm also very clear about you as a person, you are a typical Stockholm syndrome sufferer......"

"You're wrong. Old Rezenov interrupted Cang Hao's words: "I didn't lie to you, my personal life experience is completely true, and my hatred for the old KGB is also real. You and Serchenko take it for granted that I am only a faction different from the old KGB, or that what I hate is persecution instead of being a persecutor, is not right. ”

The old Rezenov not only knew Serchenko as a person, but also knew Serchenko's evaluation of him, and it seemed that the old Rezenov really knew the situation of the past few decades.

Cang Hao couldn't help but be a little curious: "Tell me the real reason." ”

"Because of my family's experience, from a very young age, I began to think about the people and things around me, as well as the society, and then rose to the entire human civilization. Taking a puff of his cigar, old Rezenov asked deeply: "You are a very learned man, you should know the myth of Sisyphus, right?"

"It's a Greek mythological story, Sisyphus also translates as Sisyphus, a king. Because he had offended the gods, the gods punished him for pushing a boulder to the top of the mountain every day, but as soon as he pushed it, the boulder would roll down, and all his efforts would be lost. So the next day, he had to push the boulder again, day after ......day, day after day," and after a pause, Cang Hao concluded: "The myth of Sisyphus implies that people consume their lives in ineffective and useless labor. ”

"Canghao, isn't this what human civilization is all about, after changing from apes to modern Homo sapiens, human society has prospered for a few years, and then encountered various crises, and then solved these crises through guò war. Then, the war destroyed a qiē, and on the ruins people rebuilt and prospered again, until a new crisis and war ......ushered in," after a pause, the elder Rezenov said sarcastically: "The stone of human civilization will always roll down as soon as it reaches the top of the mountain." ”

"What does this have to do with the issue we're discussing?"

"Let me go on, and you'll understand what's at stake. The elder Rezenov took a puff of his cigar and continued: "Your China is an ancient civilization, and your long history just confirms this, that is, the cycle of a dynasty. After an old dynasty was overthrown, the new dynasty did not make much progress in the social system, but repeated the old dynasty until it was overthrown again, and the cycle repeated. The founding monarch was wise and wise, creating a prosperous era, and the last monarch was incompetent and in danger...... It's always been like this!"

Cang Hao's tone was somewhat helpless: "I have to agree with this." ”

That's why I say that human civilization is the myth of Sisyphus. As he spoke, the elder Rezenov took another puff of his cigar: "This is a strange circle, a dead circle that cannot be jumped out, and what I have been thinking about all these years is how to help mankind jump out!"

"Reinstate the KGB system?"

"Every prosperity sows the seeds of a crisis......," said the elder Rezenov with an unprecedentedly solemn expression: "People can make more money and make their lives better, and the unlimited expansion of greed directly leads to the crisis." The same is true at the national level, when a country finds itself short of oil after a high level of economic prosperity, it will plunder directly through war when it cannot obtain oil at the right price through normal trade. In other words, people's greed is the culprit, and if it weren't for greed, there would be no crisis. ”
