Chapter 440: Long Live Freedom
This Mr. Colonel Brett is not very capable, but he has a great temper. Please remember our website address: εεε₯ε°θͺͺxinΠ«qi. However, Lin Rui was so whole, and he was all accused again. Suddenly he lost his temper and was silent.
Lin Rui said lightly, "Mr. Colonel, I'm sorry to tell you that a big war is about to take place here. The tragedy will be something you can't even imagine. If you want to stay, I'm welcome, because we're short on troops. But even your military high command knows that you are simply not capable of coping with such a big war. That's why they let us come. β
Brett lowered his head and did not speak.
Lin Rui said lightly, "You have two choices now. The first is to hand over the command, and then run as far as you can. It's a shame, but it's not a loss of life. Second, I forcibly took over your troops from you. In this case, you will be forcibly incorporated into the army and participate in the battle as a regular soldier on the front line. This is not only a shame, but also a loss of life. I'll just give you a minute to think about it. β
"You...... How dare you throw me into battle like an ordinary soldier!" Brett was shocked and furious.
"Not only that, but if you dare to be a deserter, I will shoot you immediately. Lin Rui watched, "You still have forty seconds to think about it." β
Colonel Brett said incoherently, "The military command will not do this, I will go to find His Excellency the General." You mercenaries! This is a mutiny to seize power! After so many years, I have finally become a general, and he will definitely stand up for me. β
"If only your Excellency the General might have taken care of you before, but now he can't protect himself. He knows very well that it is safer to entrust his life to you than to leave it to us. Lin Rui shook his head mockingly and said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have given such an order." Once Naranr is lost, the capital region will be in no danger, and the opposition forces will drive straight in, first breaking through the capital area and then marching into the southwestern province. Under the nest, there are no eggs. I believe that even if he favors a subordinate like you, he will not give his life to you.
After all, he's not a fool and knows how much you're capable of. In this case, no matter how loyal you are, no matter how much you wag your tail and beg for mercy, it is useless. He would rather have a mercenary who is disloyal, but can fight in accordance with the contract, than a loyal subordinate. This is how the world is. Well, the time has come. β
Brett wilted like a frosted eggplant. Lin Rui's last few words completely wiped out his confidence. On second thought, he still chose the first choice very wisely, and it was better to lose the troops than to lose his life.
Lin Rui nodded at Brayt and said, "It's a wise choice." Now pick up the phone, gather all the troops, you must announce this order in public. β
Colonel Brett was full of bitterness, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it, these mercenaries were not ordinary people. If he had been dissatisfied, they might have shot him on the spot. That's really wronged.
He swallowed his anger and picked up the phone and notified all the troops to urgently assemble in the central square. Soon the troops of six hundred men were assembled in the square. Brett read out the order for the change of command in public, and shook hands with Lin Rui with a forced smile.
Lin Rui nodded and turned to the soldiers below, "I regret the departure of Colonel Brett, but the big war is coming. Colonel Brett has another important task, as a soldier, the more he is under such conditions, the more he must unconditionally obey orders. β
Colonel Brett cursed Lin Rui thousands of times in his heart, but he was powerless to change the situation.
Everyone under Lin Rui said slowly, "I know, you don't trust me. Because I know that trust doesn't happen in a day. I just want you to trust your judgment. Most of you are from the Capital Region and the Southwestern Provinces. The targets of the armed opposition march are the Capital Region and the South-West Governorate. Once they have gotten through Naran, they will enter your homeland.
Hundreds of years ago, your ancestors were ravaged by both the colonizers and the Mavo royal family. Either they were sold as slaves to Europe or they struggled to survive under royal rule. And today, Mavo has been freed from colonial rule! Each one of you is no longer anyone's slave by birth, and likewise no one's subject. You are born free, and no one has the right to demand obedience.
But to make sure of that, you have to fight for yourselves, fight for your family! I may just be a mercenary, and many people think we have no faith. It is true that we have no faith, but we have credibility! You have the desire and blood to fight for yourself. We, on the other hand, pledge our credibility to guide you through this qiΔ. β
I don't want to trick you into fighting, it's going to be very tough. Some of you may die, but you died for freedom, for no longer being enslaved for generations! You should not be a slave to Europeans, nor a slave to a family, even if it was a former king!
I tell you this so that you may know who you are fighting for! You are not for me, nor for the colonels, nor for the generals, nor even for the country. Rather, it is for yourselves, each of you, and even your children, your descendants to fight no longer under royal oppression. You must shout, long live freedom!"
"Long live freedom!" shouted six hundred black soldiers.
"Whether we die in battle or not, at least we will be remembered!" Lin Rui stood in the square, raising the weapon in his hand.
"Long live freedom! Long live the people of Ma Yue!" The black soldiers in the audience were agitated! The cries of the black soldiers in the audience shook the sky. The African nation has never lacked bloody passion and yearning for freedom. Even in the darkest years of African history, freedom was in their hearts.
Lin Rui in the middle of the field and the black soldiers cheering around him, Yelena's eyes were a little confused, and she sighed, "He is like a hero now." β
"I said a long time ago that Lin Rui is a person with a natural leadership temperament. It is easy for such people to influence others through their words and actions. And he said what the black soldiers wanted to hear the most. That's a good start. The soldiers would have trusted and even adored him. "Shogan said slowly.
"Very touching speech. But I still don't understand why Lin Rui is talking about these soldiers in the square. Jason frowned.
"Because he knows very well that we are at a disadvantage. These soldiers were poorly equipped and militarily literate. To fight in such a situation, it is necessary to have strong conviction to support it. He's giving them the faith they use to sustain their war. Soldiers, with a firm faith, can become more and more courageous. Otherwise, the discouragement of the army will be fatal. Jiang An said slowly, "Lin Rui knows this better than us. β
