Chapter 264: Under High Pressure

Colonel Arca really had no choice but to look at General Dunby.

"That's enough," General Dunby slammed one hand on the table. After all, he is the head of this group of people, and he can still calm the scene as soon as he speaks. There was a sudden silence in the conference room.

Dunby looked at the group of people below him and said coldly, "I know you're feeling uncomfortable right now. But now is not the time for us to engage in infighting. Don't forget, Harlot is just across the road from Route 7, with tens of thousands of soldiers. He wished we were arguing and even fighting each other. Why don't you keep arguing?"

"General, it's not that we disagree with sending more troops to guard those mines. But as you said, Harlot is on a par with us, and there's a lot of pressure on our respective zones. It is not a wise military choice to send troops back to the rear at this time to guard against a possible attack. Someone spoke.

"Then I come to tell you what is wise Most of the countries of the AU are on the side of Harlot, and they have begun to impose severe economic sanctions and trade embargoes on us. Our largest economic income is currently under great threat, and this threat is no less than that of a frontal battlefield. Dunby exclaimed, "We can lose a few cities." Because we can take it back if we can. But without economic income, everything is empty talk. ”

"Without money, what do we rely on to maintain our troops, what do we rely on to raise troops, and they are taking advantage of this weakness of ours to carry out non-stop infiltration and sabotage, in an attempt to paralyze our finances. Once you do get to that point, not just me, none of you will be able to sustain it. Dunby shouted, "Yes, these mines are under my control at the moment. It doesn't seem to have any serious conflict with you. But once I can't sustain it, you'll have a good life, and if I fall, you'll be broken by Harlot. ”

The warlords below stopped talking and sat there in silence.

Dunby took a deep breath and said, "I promised you that once you get rid of Harlot, mine will be yours." It's true that I'm in control of a resource at the moment, but you have to know that this is a basic wartime strategy. In order to unify resources and form a practical and effective combat force, we have no choice but to do so. Once the war is over, I will divide it all among you in proportion. So never worry about any loss or injustice that will happen to you. You are not fighting for me, you are fighting for your future. ”

"General, I know what you mean, but we want to see your sincerity. A black man frowned.

"Okay, as long as you're willing to deploy some of your forces to keep the mine safe. I'll allow you to get 20 percent of that. Is that sincerity?" said Dunby, looking at him.

The rebels looked at each other, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied. Someone immediately objected, "General, isn't the income of 20% too little?"

"And how much do you want," Dunby said, holding back his anger.

"At least 30 percent, after all, this is the transfer of our combat troops, especially in the current situation. We cannot but seek a little more protection for ourselves. The black man tried.

"Don't you think you're asking for a little more," the red baron who had been sitting beside Dunby said lightly, "You can make an offer, but you can't ask for an unreasonable price." Otherwise, it would be undermining the current situation of cooperation. ”

"Baron, you are just mercenaries of the general, and naturally speak to him. "This little warlord is a little bit confused. On the one hand, he was sure that Dunby wouldn't do anything to him. On the other hand, he also saw that Dunby's attitude was somewhat loose, which meant that there was still room for negotiation. So I didn't think about what happened next at all.

The Red Baron smiled, drew his gun at great speed, and "bang" the little warlord fell headlong to the ground, blood splattered all over the conference table.

No one thought that the Red Baron would kill this little warlord on the spot without saying a word. These warlord leaders are also murderous goods, but seeing the shining eyes of the Red Baron, almost all of them have no courage to resist.

The Red Baron said lightly, "During the war, anyone who dares to disrupt the collaborators will be shot. This man wanted to blackmail General Dunby because of his own selfish interests. Completely disregarding the overall situation, it is useless to keep such a person. What do you think?"

These warlords were silent, and since he said so, who else would dare to raise any questions, the corpse in front of him was in a miserable death, and the blood he spilled on the conference table was still warm. All these warlords felt that their throats were a little dry, but their hearts were cold.

General Dunby rolled his eyes and commanded in a low voice, "Get him out." "Two guards dragged the body away.

"I'm sorry that turned out to be the result, but I'm sure you'll know what I mean. After all, we're still in the alliance, and I'm never too polite to anyone who tries to break up an alliance like ours. General Dunby said coldly, "That's it, everything is according to what we negotiated before, at most only twenty percent." The warlords also tacitly agreed to this arrangement, and finally the meeting broke up and left.

After all was gone, General Dunby turned to the Red Baron with some anger and said, "Why did you do this, you don't know that the man you killed was an influential warlord. ”

"That's why I have to do it because I know. General, you have been too merciful to them. You should understand that kindness cannot be exchanged for respect, and cruelty can at least be exchanged for reverence. The Red Baron said lightly, "Once you make a concession today, then the situation will take a turn for the worse today." Anyone can challenge your authority. ”

"But you don't have to kill him either. Dunby snapped.

"But he must die. The Red Baron said lightly, "Otherwise, it will be difficult to make the others submit." At the moment of the great enemy, if you are seen as weak and deceitful by these people, the results will be very bad. ”

Dunby said helplessly, "I understand, but you should also show me a little respect." I haven't given the order yet, and you're not qualified to kill my people. ”

"But I am qualified to protect the Order's investment in Santuyak, and you are our investment. So I can't watch you make mistakes. The Red Baron said lightly.

"But you will turn them away from me. General Dunby snapped.

"Oh my God, that's a good point. But when did these little warlords have a heart with you, if they really have a heart with you, will they still take the opportunity to blackmail you?" the Red Baron sneered, "What you want is not their respect, but their obedience." Kindness will only be exchanged for contempt, and obedience can only be achieved under high pressure, which is the immutable truth. By the way, you don't have to thank me. ”
