C838 Farewell to their home countries (1/2)
”Very good … All of you, stand at attention and stand in formation! ” With Tie Toutuo's loud roar, the six hundred over veterans quickly formed into six squads. Although they weren't as well-organized as the new army of Ryukyu, they still possessed some of the valiance of the Veterans of the Hundred Wars.
”Not bad, not bad at all, right? All of their beautiful noses turned red. Remember, what you are eating is the American canned beef that the Prime Minister specially approved for you. The Ryukyu's canned fruit and rice wine were all brewed by our Jiangnan villagers … Drinking the hometown wine, it doesn't taste bad, right? ”
When they mentioned their hometown, everyone's eyes turned red, ”Prime Minister, we will repay you with our lives!” The six hundred people shouted in unison.
Tie Toutuo shook his head: ”Prime Minister, there is no need for all of you to repay us with your deaths, we did not gather everyone here today to let you all work hard for the prime minister. Honestly speaking, there are a lot of men under the prime minister's command, but I relied on my seniority to become a military officer.”
”That's why you all should keep your thoughts in check. Don't think that the Prime Minister is lacking a knife to kill others, that's why he thought of you geniuses. You all shouldn't ask about it, as the Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea doesn't have any of you! ”Put away the arrogance in your hearts …”
These killing skills were something to be taken care of. The combat prowess of the veterans were high, but their discipline was definitely inferior to that of the new recruits. It was easy for them to think of something else.
”I'll make it clear to you guys today, don't even talk about your own hardships. From today onwards, no one will talk about Nan Yang's suffering, because there are many people among us who have suffered more than you guys …”
Tie Toutuo roared, his saliva spraying all over the soldiers' faces, the roar could not even suppress the tides of Sishui.
”Did you know that just as you were sent to the Southern Ocean to be pigs, there were still more than ten thousand of the Duke's subordinates that were sent across the Pacific Ocean to the distant South America Continent … Don't use your stupid eyes to look at me, I know you guys don't understand where South America Continent is … ”
”Let me tell you one thing, South America Continent is located to the south of Citizen Country, about 20,000 to 30,000 miles away from here. Even Tang Xian didn't manage to go that far back in the day, to travel across the entire Pacific Ocean …”
With a boom, the six hundred veteran soldiers looked at Tie Toutuo in disbelief.
Back then, not to mention the Chinese, even many Europeans did not have a high education. Their understanding of the world was similar to that of the Middle Ages.
Farmers on the plains of Europe with their pipes hanging from their hay wagons, milking farmers, and children in the wilderness who ran around trying to go to school but didn't have the money. The only world they could see was the one in their hometown, and they didn't understand the world any better than the Chinese did.
The legend of the dragon and princess, the story of the sea monsters in the Atlantic, they were still mesmerized. Many people even believed that it was true.
Europe is like this, what's more these Heaven veterans, ”Where is South America Continent? The outer seas! Twenty or thirty thousand kilometers?
What Tie Toutuo wanted was this kind of shock. With a cold face, he shouted, ”Do you think that we'll be considered as the ends of the earth in the Southern Ocean? Do you really think that you went to hell just because you suffered a little at rubber garden, tin mine, and a farm? ”
”Bullshit, Weng Derong and Chen Yonglu have left their hometowns and went to South America Continent. Over ten thousand pigs are suffering ten times more than you guys, at least you guys still have time to drink clean water, he is carrying ores in the desert! Are you suffering from them? ”
”Nan Yang's days are not going well. At least you can see that there are people from your village nearby. At least you can hear some of them, but what about them? There's not even a drop of rain in the dry desert for ten years. No one here speaks Chinese. They can't even escape. Who can swim back? ”
