C1317 Huang Bais Heart of Enchantment (1/2)
After humans activated Greed Mode, any language guidance would be useless. The greater the profit in their eyes, the greater the greed and determination.
That much gold, silver, jewelry and cultural relics were all exchanged for during the Russian Army's bloody battle. Although they did not have a detailed count, at least three thousand people had died in that bloody battle last night.
3000 people, their bodies lying on the ground, so many lives for wealth could be lost just like that? This knot in his heart was not something that could be untied by ordinary people.
”General, Commander …” It's not like you don't know how difficult it is for the empire to finance itself. If this gold and silver were to be sent back to Europe, you would know better than us how difficult it would be to solve His Majesty's problems.
”Even if we do not consider the overall situation, we cannot lose this gold and silver just because of these soldiers who are fighting desperately!” We have to give a pension to the dead and the wounded! ”Don't tell me we're going to let them die in vain …”
The surrounding soldiers who were loyal to Venia and Akson also revealed complicated expressions. Being poor was not something that could be relieved with just a few words.
”Enough! Don't you see what's going on? This is Xiao Letian's trap, he used this gold as bait to trap all of us Expeditionary forces on this island! ” Akson roared in anger.
”In the vast ocean, if our fleet were to be completely destroyed, the Chinese would not even have to attack us, they would starve us to death just from being hungry! ”Now, before the enemies completely surround them, hurry up and board the ship. At the very least, we'll have to rush out of this strait …”
Venia also let go of his status as a general, he almost kneeled down to the group of officers and begged, ”I understand your feelings, I also know the importance of gold, but no matter how precious it is, it is not comparable to a soldier's life!”
”We already shipped out 3 tons of gold, that's already quite a lot! If we had to take the rest of the gold and silver with us, we would have to wait until 12 o'clock. Do you think the Chinese people will give us time? ”Wake up …”
Venia did not choose to use his rank and identity to suppress these officers, because they were already keenly aware that these people's emotions were extremely unstable.
Venia's and Akson's begging eased the atmosphere a little, and after struggling for a long time, the middle and upper echelons finally started to discuss among themselves.
”Alright, we only have one request! He opened the vault and let the soldiers carry the gold and silver according to their physical strength! ”This is my last condition. I can clearly tell my lord that you must agree to it even if you don't want to …”
Akson and Venia's noses were about to turn crooked from the anger from the tone of the voice, but the begging of the officer at the back made them both sigh helplessly.
”General, Commander …” It's not that we are making things difficult for you, nor is it that we don't understand reason. Look at the disgruntled looks on the soldiers' faces, do you think that they will agree to retreat for nothing? Will they promise to kill so many people and then return empty-handed? ”
”We can't do the work for the twenty thousand strong army, and we can't explain it individually. To put it bluntly, we can't even compare to the Queue length, much less the soldiers …”
”If we follow your orders and push down, the morale will collapse, and there will even be an uproar …” When the time comes, it will not be a matter of you letting us take away the gold and silver, but rather snatching them away! ”
