Chapter 718 Distribution of Benefits
The defeat of the army of the Japanese invaders was a thing worth celebrating, and it was also the first real battle fought by the Dongjiang Army and Navy since its founding. The victory greatly boosted the confidence of the entire navy, and even some people were carried away by the victory, clamoring to carry the power of victory directly to the south and drive all the Japanese out of the Ming seas.
For such remarks, Mao Wenlong was not the slightest bit happy, this time the navy was able to defeat the Japanese pirates, it was completely the credit of pirates and hot air balloons. As for the navy led by Lihui, it can only be regarded as a real combat exercise.
In this battle, the Dongjiang Army won a complete victory, and the number of casualties was less than 100, and most of them appeared during the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese invaders. The injuries caused by one's own accident are far greater than those suffered during the fight with the enemy. Under such circumstances, it can be said that the Dongjiang Navy has not undergone a baptism of blood at all, and its real combat strength has yet to be tested.
With such an army, if you want to fight to the south, it will undoubtedly be to die. Mao Wenlong, who kept his senses, did not follow the coaxing, but called all the generals to Anton Wei's meeting hall when the soldiers held a celebration banquet.
Chengzuo is below Mao Wenlong, and below him are the three Lihui brothers and several naval generals. And the rest are those pirate leaders, the expressions of the two sides are different at the moment, the Dongjiang army is full of spring breeze on their faces, and the pirates are frowning one by one.
In this battle with the Japanese invaders, the pirates suffered heavy losses, with two-thirds of the warships directly lost and more than half of the number of people lost. Especially Xiao Xiong and Se Qingfeng, their pirate gang has directly changed from one of the largest gangs to today's small gangs, if it weren't for the last Dongjiang Army to arrive at the rescue in time, it is estimated that they would be able to destroy the gang.
knew that he and the others were calculated by Mao Wenlong, but he couldn't lose his temper. After all, Mao Wenlong used a conspiracy, an upright strategy, but let them and others go up to death willingly, and they can't blame others, and they can only blame them for being dizzy.
But the benefits were not reaped, and now they almost led to the destruction of the gang, and Xiao Xiong and Se Qingfeng felt particularly uncomfortable. Especially when they saw Jiao Long, the only profiteer this time, they couldn't swallow this breath.
"The commander-in-chief, the captured warships of the Wakos, according to our previous decision, should be directly allocated to us and divided equally, so that it is fair." Xiao Xiong was the first to be unconvinced and stood up to protest.
"Yes, we have agreed in advance that all the warships of the Japanese should be assigned by us." Se Qingfeng immediately agreed.
The other pirates, led by the two, also began to denounce Mao Wenlong's inappropriate distribution plan just now.
Watching the pirates below crusade against him with emotion, Mao Wenlong was calm and calm, and his face was full of indifference. He had just proposed that all but those warships that had already been captured by the pirates should be owned by each other. The rest of the warships captured by the Dongjiang Army later belonged to the Dongjiang Army, and this decision made many pirates dissatisfied.
They all thought that Mao Wenlong had backtracked and not kept his promise. Especially when fighting with the pirates, it was their pirates who suffered the greatest casualties, so it was reasonable for them to think that Mao Wenlong should not be distributed like this!
"Ahem......"
Mao Wenlong coughed lightly, and when all the pirates quieted down and looked at him with longing eyes, he said softly: "This general soldier made it clear early in the morning that whoever captures everything owned by the Japanese is anyone's, and you have nothing to dispute about this!" ”
Xiao Xiong and Se Qingfeng immediately claimed that they were right, but after a while, the two reacted, and they said bitterly to each other. The other pirates also suddenly understood at this time, according to what Mao Wenlong just said, there is indeed nothing wrong with such a distribution plan now.
Looking at the pirates who were already speechless below, Mao Wenlong suddenly snorted coldly: "From the very beginning, the general soldier made it very clear that it was you who did not understand it thoroughly. Why, do you still want to blackmail the general army now? ”
The icy voice echoed in the council hall, and this time no one dared to stand up and chirp. Directly losing more than half of their strength, there is no way to argue with the Dongjiang Army, and the current pirates can no longer withstand any toss except for obeying Mao Wenlong.
The atmosphere in the council hall was suddenly a little solemn, and the pirates could only give in on the surface, but they were still indignant in their hearts. And Jiao Long, the leader of the alliance, had to stand up and speak for the pirates at this time.
He neatly arched his hand to Mao Wenlong and said: "Chief soldier, we have absolutely no intention of coercing, and we don't dare to give us a few guts." But I still hope that you can give us some appropriate compensation for the sake of our heavy losses this time and our great contribution to defeating the Japanese invaders? ”
Jiao Long's words were very tactful, but it also showed that he was seeking the benefit of the pirates, and at this moment, he was the leader of the alliance and was dutiful. As soon as he said this, he immediately won the support of most of the pirates, after all, they all knew that Jiao Long, who had originally made a lot of profits, did not have to stand up against Mao Wenlong for their interests.
Now that Jiao Long has stood up, it shows that Jiao Long, the leader of the alliance, is not derelict in his duties, and it is logical that everyone supports him.
Mao Wenlong glanced at Jiao Long, this guy actually secretly threw a grateful look at Mao Wenlong. Obviously, everything Jiao Long did at this moment was just done under Mao Wenlong's instructions.
From the very beginning, Mao Wenlong planned to clean up all the pirates, and only when they were completely controlled, something uncontrollable would not happen in the future. The Dongjiang Army did not allow any unstable factors to exist around them.
Now that Jiao Long has become more important among the pirates, his prestige has reached a higher height, and he can successfully capture the sincerity of these pirates. Sit on him as the leader of the pirate alliance, and slowly devour these chaotic pirate gangs in the future.
Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment and said: "Of course, this general soldier is not an unsentimental person, and you have indeed made a lot of contributions this time, so I will give you fifteen more warships!" ”
Jiao Long immediately thanked him, and then pulled those pirate leaders to leave, not giving them a chance to speak.
The Dongjiang army had captured 30 Japanese warships, and only now 15 were recognized, which was not enough for more than 30 gangs of pirates.
Xiao Xiong was very dissatisfied, shook off Jiao Long and took his hand, and said coldly: "Jiao Long, why don't you ask the general army for a few more." How can fifteen warships be enough for all of us? ”
