C681 Approaching Japan (1/2)
On the blue sea, a sail fleet was sailing northwards. The vast Pacific Ocean was incomparably vast, and as long as the fleet carefully avoided the several busy sea lanes, they wouldn't be afraid of being discovered.
Xiao Letian stood on top of the Roman's tall poop, watching the elite Navy sail the planets and load them together, occasionally applauding the most outstanding soldiers, the morale of the fleet had been pushed to the peak.
This time, Zai Chun also came on the expedition. Xiao Letian hoped that he could personally witness a true war, that place filled with violence, hot-bloodedness, and extreme masculinity, was the place where a man could the most mature.
”I hope that you will understand what war is after seeing a true massacre. Only then will you understand that the people who govern the country are actually ten thousand lives …” I hope you understand what life and death are! ”
The Zai Chun at this time did not know that his destination was actually hell. He held a long rope in his hands, and inside the hook on the front end was a fresh, bloodied chicken.
The smell of blood could be smelled from far away in the sea, attracting sharks in the deep sea. With Xiao Letian's order, the twelve water ghost s jumped into the sea, bare-chested and holding daggers in their mouths.
The Shark that was caught by the fish hook had gone crazy, its body desperately twisting and turning in the ocean water. Zai Chun was already unable to hold on to the rope anymore, the four guards immediately rushed forward to help the Emperor control the rope.
General Cai Mao sneered from the side: ”This is a White Shark, the strength it has in the ocean is extremely great and you guys cannot withstand the collapsed strength, you have to understand how to take advantage of it … Seeing that our water ghost has stabbed us, quickly let go of the rope … ”
Fresh blood gushed out of the furious shark's body. He tried his best to escape the encirclement, but the force caused the rope to jump straight. The four Forbidden City guards were almost pulled into the sea.
”Let go of the ropes, don't go head on against an animal …” ”Let it consume some strength, and wait for it to run out before it recovers …”
The rope loosened and the shark fiercely rushed forward dozens of metres. It was then trapped by a huge force and immediately followed up with another water ghost seeing the opportunity to slash at it.
Zai Chun slapped his hands together in excitement and laughed crazily as he watched the sea roll with blood, ”Good, good, good … Kill him... Leave the shark fin for me, I want to give it to Master! ”
However, Xiao Letian did not have any love for the Fish Wings, because there was no meat at all. Although there was some collagen, it could make up for the fact that he ate two pig feet or ate some Zhenjiang meat, which was more than this.
As for the taste, there were plenty of seafood that was even more delicious than this in the sea. Picking up two fish and a crab would be even more delicious than this.
In the end, it was as though the rarity of things was priceless. What they were satisfied with was the vanity of humans. Combined with the fact that people all had the mentality to follow the masses, the shark's fin gradually became a treasure.
However, Ai Hui's filial piety could not be hurt. It seemed that he still had to accept this fish fin.
At this time, the battle between the merfolk sharks in the ocean had already reached its conclusion. Twelve water ghost surrounded and attacked a white shark, and no matter how strong the white shark was, it was no match for it.
”Hahaha …” Good, good, good … Pull it up! ” Zai Chun excitedly jumped all over the deck as the four bodyguards exerted their strength together to lift the great white shark, which weighed more than a thousand kilograms, onto the deck.
Twelve water ghost s climbed up the rope ladder proudly and waited for Xiao Letian's inspection. Xiao Letian walked over and patted his shoulders, ”Not bad, not bad, remember this blood energy, my Xiao Letian's navy should be like a country's water ghost. Each of you will be rewarded with a bottle of strong alcohol. In the next mission, the few of you will be given priority to enter the commandos … ”
The four guards were stunned. They never thought that the Prime Minister's reward would be to let these soldiers die first. What surprised them even more was that the twelve navy water ghost s all cheered excitedly.
They knew that the New Army valued military merits the most, and the more dangerous the mission was, the more the credit they would receive, and military merits were the only way for the soldiers to improve their social status.
How much tax would he be exempt from in the future after retiring? How much housing subsidy can you get? The privilege of not bowing to an official, even if the child will have the best education free of charge in the future, will require a boost in military merits.
Xiao Letian had never considered the so-called equality, freedom, and high welfare systems of the countries in the future. In his concept of governing, if one expected that all citizens would be affected by hypocritical deceit, it would be better to tell them that the world was unfair and that there were rankings.
What Xiao Letian wanted to do was to create a smooth staircase for the different levels. A person's social status must be able to rise and fall, not be able to solidify.
In Ryukyu, as long as one was hardworking, brave and kind, they could improve their social status. For example, if one joined the army and accumulated military merits to a certain degree, they would naturally enjoy some special political zones that others did not have, such as duty-free, housing subsidies, free medical treatment, free education and so on.
