Chapter 202 What is Sacrifice
Chapter 202 What is Sacrifice
Therefore, these two battles to establish prestige must be fought.
After quickly assassinating two people in the crowd in front of the building, Shen Yiyi's figure quickly disappeared in a three-story building on the side of the playground.
As if they were wolves seeing their prey, the eight warriors rushed into the building without hesitation. A fierce small-scale close combat was about to take place in the small building.
As the sounds of fierce fighting came from the building, unexpectedly, the identities of the hunter and the prey were reversed in an instant.
First, a soldier with a striking white line drawn on his neck walked out of the building dejectedly, his eyes full of unwillingness and frustration.
Then, there came the second soldier, who also had a white line drawn on his neck. His steps were heavy, as if all his energy had been drained away.
Then the two men walked out together, apparently being "killed" at the same time.
After a while, the remaining four fighters simply walked out of the building in a mess.
It looked like during the process of outnumbering, someone "cut off" his neck without any particular order.
When Shen Yiyi finally walked out of the small building leisurely, throwing the three-edged bayonet, the twenty orange army soldiers who had fought with her one after another, as well as hundreds of squadron leaders and team leaders who had no military discipline before, were now back on the playground without exception.
This time, their formation was exceptionally neat, completely different from before, as if they had experienced a baptism and regained the glory and dignity of a soldier.
Shen Yiyi once again walked to the high platform in front of the army. Her voice was clear and powerful, striking everyone's heart:
"Teacher Takeda Nagayoshi sent me here this time, not to tell you what to do, or to take you to your death."
"I know that all of you are ready to sacrifice, but in war, it is easy to die. A bullet, an explosion, or even an improper operation of the tree armor can take your life."
“How to make your sacrifice valuable, or even achieve victory without making unnecessary sacrifices, this is the goal I want to lead you to achieve.”
She paused, and scanned everyone in the audience with a sharp gaze:
"I believe you have all seen the two battles just now. You are outnumbered, and I am only one person."
"So I will hide, conceal myself, and then pick your weak points and attack them one by one."
"I rarely fight in direct battles. You can say I am mean, cowardly, and unethical."
"But you all died, and I am the only one who survived. And only those who are alive can enjoy victory. I hope you can think carefully about what I said."
After saying that, Shen Yiyi turned around and followed the three generals into the command building, leaving a playground full of thinkers.
They either lowered their heads in thought or looked up, as if they were savoring Shen Yiyi's meaningful words.
In the conference room on the fourth floor, General Watson looked out the window at the orange army soldiers who were reluctant to leave, and shook his head with a wry smile.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Shen Yiyi with deep eyes, with a hint of helplessness and emotion in his voice:
"What you just said is very correct. Since its inception, our Orange Army has always taken 'sacrifice ourselves to liberate the nation' as its mission."
"However, under the teachings of these eight words, no one has ever thought about what is a valuable sacrifice."
"These children nowadays are too paranoid. They seem to only see the glory of sacrifice but ignore its significance."
General Baisuishan on the other side also spoke up, with a hint of worry in his voice:
"Yes, especially after General Takeda Nagayoshi left us for your Kingdom of Kagetsu, they became even more restless, and from time to time they would always clamor for a full-scale attack on Kaohada."
"It seems that as long as they leave the base, they can take over the country. This kind of blind self-confidence is really worrying."
General Run Tiancui came in last, holding a few bottles of water and placed them on the table. He handed one of the bottles to Shen Yiyi. While handing the water, he complained:
"We saw that this situation was really not right, and we didn't know what to do. We could only increase the amount of training, hoping that they would calm down through training."
"But the more they train like this, the stronger their desire to launch a suicidal attack on Xiangheda City becomes."
"Fortunately you arrived at this time, otherwise we really don't know what to do."
Shen Yiyi took the water bottle, gulped down most of it, took a breath, and responded:
"War means death. There is no victory without sacrifice. This is a famous saying in military books. However, if you blindly regard the heroic death as your only belief, then it is indeed too... that's it."
At this point, Miss Shen took great effort to swallow the words "stupid" and "foolish". She didn't want to lose her composure in such an occasion.
Shen Yiyi stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the soldiers downstairs. Her tone was full of emotion and expectation:
"Soldiers who are fearless and brave are indeed the most rare and outstanding soldiers. However, they really misunderstood one thing. Their mission is to win, not to die."
"If you always think, 'I'm going to die anytime, so no one in this world can control me,' then you can only be described as a reckless man."
Having said that, Shen Yiyi looked up at the gray ceiling of the base, then she turned her head and looked at the three generals:
"However, in such a closed environment, people are prone to psychological problems. It is indeed difficult for the three of you."
General Baishuishan responded with a smile: "It's not difficult at all. We have also analyzed the current reasons a little bit."
At this point, he and the other two looked at each other, their eyes revealing a tacit understanding and consensus. Then, he continued to explain:
"Our Orange Army has gathered dozens of fighters from inferior ethnic groups. Many of them are living at the bottom of society and have no way out. For them, joining the Orange Army may be the only way to change their fate."
General Watson also said: "Yes, if it is about the consciousness of liberating the nation, they may not have such a high level. The only thing they can recommend is that they are not afraid of sacrifice and are brave and fearless of death."
"But the longer time goes by, the more we find that their idea of sacrificing their lives for dignity has become more and more rampant. They have begun to forget what their real goal is."
