C1683 collapse of morale (2/2)
No one in the vault dared to speak a word of legend due to the enraged major. The military officers who were fighting over the compressed biscuits also put down their food and stood up with solemn expressions.
Of course, this was all thanks to the system of abolitionist slaves. This army was made up of a large number of sons of serfs and declining military aristocrats, and because of the promotion by the tsar himself, they had high loyalty to the tsar.
This was also the main reason why they refused to surrender despite running out of ammunition.
Akson panted like a cow, the anger in his heart could be seen: ”It's all these gold …” I really don't know why there's so much greed in my head! Is there a shortage of gold in this world? ”Could it be that we'll be lacking gold in the future if we manage that fertile piece of land in the Far East?”
”High-yield gold mines, taxes by the public, forest mineral resources …” Isn't that wealth? ”We are the only ones who have managed it carefully. After ten years of accumulation, could it be that we cannot earn that much gold?”
”Why …” Akson's angry roars reverberated in the treasury, ”Why do we have to be blinded by the gold when we were guarding the treasure mountain? Greed is the devil … Greed is the devil! ”
Akson hysterically vented his feelings until Captain Venia gave the guard a look and the two guards helped Akson to inject morphine, allowing him to calm down.
Akson who was sitting on top of the gold pile had his chest rise and fall intensely, and only after three minutes did the effects of the medicine calm down a lot. He asked weakly, ”How is the situation outside? I don't think your expression is good. Is it bad news? It doesn't matter, I'll just take advantage of the calming effect of the medicine … I can bear it! ”
Andreev's tears were about to fall, he did not expect the Expeditionary forces to be so tragic, the soldiers were struggling in the mud like pigs, the officer almost attacked him for a compressed biscuit, even the special envoy sent by the Tsar had to rely on the calmness of his body to think.
How could the Imperial Army fall to such a state!
”Sorry …” I didn't bring you good news... Haishenwai has already fallen, I was captured by the Chinese, I have let down His Majesty the Tsar's expectations … Me, Me, Me... ”I signed the surrender order …”
At this moment, Andreev's teary voice, he recounted the entire details of the battle in the Haishenwai. Even though Akson had injected the tranquil morphine in advance, he was still so excited that his eyes were wide open.
”God punish you! You traitor, how dare you sign the surrender order! The Empire you betrayed... ” Suddenly, one of the officers lost control of his emotions and charged forward, punching Andreev in the left side of his face. The huge man fell to the ground with a loud thud.
The officer sat on Andreev's body while crying. His hammer-like fists were ferociously smashing Andreev's head, hitting his flesh and causing every move to be stained in blood! Andreev didn't even dare to retaliate after his aura was taken away.
Venia was the oldest officer present, so he hurriedly charged forward to pull the officer away. ”Let go! Now is not the time to hit people, even if Andreev wants to be punished, it should not be us, scram … ”
The group of people parted with the crazy officer. Andreev's nose was broken as fresh blood dripped down, but he seemed to have lost all sense of pain as he stood up and said expressionlessly.
”The Empire can shoot me, and I can also kill myself …” ”Death is very simple, but what's even more difficult is to live and solve the problems that you have to face …”
