Chapter 634: The Purpose of War
Hearing what Dinisha said, Lorna's eyes suddenly widened, and she asked angrily: "There is no name on the expedition list, you don't even go to the front line, you hide here and drink with people, what kind of home do you protect, what country do you defend?" ”
Denisha drunkenly burped, shook her head, and sighed, "Little dragon cub, I'm going to have to teach you a good lesson." Let me start with a question for you - what do you think is the purpose of war? ”
Without thinking, Lorna replied, "Kill the enemy!" ”
"You see, you see, your mind is very problematic." Denisha poured herself a glass of wine, and said slowly as she drank it, "The purpose of war is to achieve the desired result through the means of war, and this 'desired result' can be aggression, occupation, peace, or even war against war... The killing of the enemy you speak of is only a means to this end, not the end goal, and there is no war to kill the enemy for the sake of killing the enemy. ”
"For the current war, Doguland was unprepared in advance and very reluctant to fight, but for various reasons he had to fight. Then what do you think, what is the purpose of His Majesty the King in starting this war? Quite simply, the purpose of this war is peace, and war is used to promote peace. ”
"If you want to promote peace, then you can't have a deep feud in the sea of blood, the momentum can be large, the casualties must be small, and you can beat the prestige of Dogulander, let the Far East know that we will not give in to the determination to succumb, force the other side to weigh the pros and cons, and finally withdraw the army, this is the most perfect result."
"So, it's not difficult to understand why I didn't go to the front line - because the essence of this war is different from the "Laurel War" 28 years ago, it is not an existential battle to defend the homeland, His Majesty the King has wanted to control the scale of the war from the beginning, talk while fighting, and promote peace with war."
"And people like me, once they appear on the battlefield, it means extremely large casualties. As soon as the Far Eastern Dynasty saw me, in order to balance the situation, they would also come up with killer weapons that could also cause great casualties. This is completely contrary to the purpose of war. ”
"So, I didn't mean not to go. The fact that I can stay here and drink shows that the situation is under the control of His Majesty the King, which is a good thing~"
Lorna listened directly to the fried hair, scolded and said, "Oh! You mean, because you didn't make a move, there won't be many people killed on the battlefield, and everyone can end it early with a casual fight, and the soldiers and people of both countries have to thank you, right? ”
Denisha thought for a moment and cheekily admitted, "Hmm. ”
Lorna felt that her eyes were dark, and she calmed down for a while, and then gritted her teeth and said: "Denisa, from the 'Fireless Era' in the ancient period to the current 'Fire Calendar', from the 'Thorn Mountains' in the easternmost part of the continent to the 'Sea of Broken Moon' in the westernmost part of the world, you are the most shameless person throughout the ages!" ”
Denisha shook her hand, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water: "Hey, okay, yes, you say yes, that is, don't quibble." ”
Lorna's most annoying thing was this dead face with a dead face, and she said coldly: "Have you ever heard a saying - there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky." You think you're invincible? Aren't you a Sequence 7? Arrogance what? No matter how powerful you are, can you still single-handedly pick up an elite army? ”
"Aha!!" As soon as Lorna's words came out, the drunkards laughed so hard that everyone cracked, and they leaned back one by one, slapping the table frantically, and Denisha was also smiling silently.
Lorna was annoyed by this burst of laughter, and choked back angrily: "What are you laughing at?!" ”
Denisha stretched out her hand to press it, signaling everyone not to laugh, and then lazily asked, "Little dragon cub, you don't even look down on the 7th sequence, what about yourself?" Do you think you're better than me? ”
Lorna said coldly: "I'm not as good as you, I haven't beaten you in so many fights, you are stronger than me, and much stronger, I admit this." But so what? With your casual attitude, how strong are you? What if you're the 100th sequence? If you will always be like this, then I will always look down on you. ”
"And you!" Lorna pointed to the surrounding drunkards, with a look of disdain, as if she was looking at garbage, "The Far Eastern Imperial Dynasty soldiers are coming to the city, and the entire kingdom has issued a war mobilization, and men of appropriate age need to be prepared for war. You big men don't stand up and join the army, hide in this tavern and drink and sing, like no one. ”
"You waste, one counts as one, it's all unplanted!"
It stands to reason that the drunkards in the tavern are generally upright, and when they are scolded by a little girl, most of them are going to turn their faces.
But for some reason, the drunkards only smiled when they heard Lorna's insults, and only occasionally flashed a little deep meaning in their eyes.
Denisha raised her eyebrows and began to be yin and yang: "I really don't have a backache when I stand and talk~ You are His Royal Highness the Prince~ I don't know how many secret guards on the battlefield secretly protect you." And you're still serving in the "Banshee Legion", which has the lowest casualty rate in history, and is only responsible for air support, and will not engage the enemy in close combat, of course you can have it. ”
These words were considered to have stepped on Lorna's tail, and she was so anxious that her face turned red and she said loudly, "You think I want to?!" That's what the military order is, what can I do? If His Majesty hadn't approved it, I would have planned to join the infantry corps and join the death squad directly! ”
"Aha!!" The laughter erupted again, louder than before, almost toppling the ceiling of the tavern.
Denisha also burst into laughter, holding her stomach and laughing so much that she couldn't stop laughing, she raised her head and looked around, laughing and calling out, "Abel, is the old Abel here?" ”
Behind the bar, an old man smoking a cigarette turned his head to look: "What are you calling your grandfather for?" ”
Dinisha wiped away the tears from her laughter and said with a smile: "Old Abel, you used to be a person who served in the death squad, and now our esteemed Royal Highness the Prince says that she will also be a death squad." You translate for her, what is a death squad? ”
Abel grinned: "Death squad, do you still need a translator?" ”
Denissa: "Let you translate to her, what are the death squads." ”
Abel: "The death squad, the first to go and the first to die." ”
Denisha looked at Lorna with a smile that meant it, "Heard?" ”
Lorna's expression was quite disdainful, she glanced sideways at Abel, and mocked, "The first to die... Well said. Aren't you dead? ”
Abel extinguished the smoke on the calluses on his palms and said slowly: "Little girl, then let me ask you a question, do you think it is terrible to live or terrible to die?" ”
Lorna said inexplicably: "Of course it's terrible to die!" It's good to be alive, but if you're dead, you're nothing, so you don't need to ask? ”
"Really?" Abel smiled mysteriously, held the bar with both hands, and propped his body out, "It's not scary to live like this?" ”
Seeing the scene in front of her, Lorna's face suddenly turned pale and she unconsciously took two steps back...
