"Can you agree with the answer to the first question?" Guan Shan asked again.

Chu Ge hesitated for a moment, noncommittal, and said, "Second question, I want to know more about the 'Blood Eagle' Wilson, whether he has really... killed many innocent people in other worlds Those who have become the top of the Earth Army now?"

"The first half, I don't know, there are indeed many rumors, saying that 'Blood Eagle' Wilson is a heinous cold-blooded butcher, who has caused many bloody cases in both the world of cultivating immortals and the world of phantom demons, and is very likely to become the world's and other world's Between them, it is an obstacle to peace, but there is no real evidence for this kind of thing, and it is impossible to slander a 'hero' with outstanding military exploits with a few rumors."

Guan Shan said again, "In the second half, yes, 'Blood Eagle' Wilson is a lieutenant general of the Earth Army, a sharp-edged hardcore main combatant, with countless supporters and great influence in the army and parliament, his The "Double-Headed Eagle Legion" is also a super-class army with the highest combat effectiveness. It is built with the standard of expeditions to other worlds. Including himself, all of them are far superior in combat effectiveness to "Colonel" Ning Lie. In the entire military system, they are outstanding. One of the super masters."

"You should know that 'Colonel' Ning Lie did not lie, he did slaughter innocent people."

Chu Ge stared at Guan Shanzhong, "Major Guan, what do you think of a guy like 'Blood Eagle' Wilson, and you don't feel...uncomfortable with him?"

Guan Shanzhong smiled very strangely.

"You think 'Blood Eagle' Wilson is evil, completely inhumane, even 'Colonel' Ning Lie is better than him, at least the colonel will still feel guilty, and still have the feelings of being a human being? So, you don't want to join the Earth Army , because you don't want to be with 'Blood Eagle' Wilson?" Guan Shanzhong asked.

"If 'Blood Eagle' Wilson really slaughtered small mountain villages one after another ruthlessly, without any sense of guilt, and even enjoyed it—isn't that considered 'evil'?" Chu Ge frowned.

"As I said, justice and evil are not so easy to distinguish. Before evaluating 'Blood Eagle' Wilson, let me tell you a true story."

Guan Shan pondered for a moment, and said, "According to the time, it should be fifty or sixty years ago, when the Earth Alliance had not yet been established, but at least some places have restored basic order, with various regular troops.

"There is such a seven-member tactical reconnaissance team of the regular army, who received an order from their superiors to cross a wasteland full of bandits and rebels to infiltrate and reconnaissance the rebel base.

"This is an extremely dangerous mission. The most important thing is that it cannot be discovered by anyone. Otherwise, the seven-member reconnaissance team is no match for a large number of rebels and gangsters. Therefore, special attention must be paid to concealment.

"However, the reconnaissance team was discovered by a shepherd and his child while trekking in the wilderness.

"Most of the local residents were tortured by the rebels and gangs, and lived a miserable life, but they were forced by the rebels and had to cooperate with the rebels, and they were very likely to become the eyes and ears of the rebels.

"The safest option for this reconnaissance team is undoubtedly to kill the shepherd and his children, lest they tip off the rebels.

"The six members of the scouting team think so too.

"Their captain, however, has a different point of view - like yours, a righteous, emotional, more human point of view.

"The captain believes that the locals have been bullied by the rebels, and they are victims in the first place. If the regular army can kill people to keep secrets, what is the difference from the rebels?

"What's more, in addition to the shepherd, there are also his children. Can a regular army kill an innocent child at will?

"The captain got into an argument with his players.

"The shepherds cried out,

He promised again and again that he would never tip off the rebels—he hated the rebels deeply, and wished that the regular army would wipe out all the rebels as soon as possible, so how could he repay his kindness?

"His child also cried loudly, touching the softest... humanity in the hearts of the scouts.

"In the end, the captain convinced all the team members, and they tied up the shepherd and the child very firmly, and threw them in a cave, leaving enough food, and prepared to untie them when they came back from the mission.

"Then, they continued on their way, carrying out their mission.

"As a result, hehe, they forgot to consider the goats—the shepherd's goat bit the rope, causing the shepherd to escape. Perhaps out of fear or for profit, they immediately reported the reconnaissance team to the local rebels The presence.

"Now, the reconnaissance team stepped into the death trap carefully prepared for them by the rebels and gangs without knowing it. As a result of the fierce battle, six members were killed on the spot, and the captain who was shining with humanity was also beaten. He was seriously injured, his face was mutilated, he lost an arm and a leg, and was dying before being rescued by reinforcements."

"ah……"

Chu Ge's eyes were wide open, feeling quite uncomfortable.

This is the crossroads that "Colonel" Ning Lie once faced, one of the possible consequences of another choice.

"The tragedy has developed here, and it has not ended."

Guan Shanzhong continued, "This reconnaissance captain who made a big mistake and was seriously injured is naturally not suitable to stay in the army. However, even if he returns to his hometown, with his wife and children, he feels deeply guilty. He and the undead of the team members still haunt him day and night, coupled with the physical pain and ugly face, he suffers from post-war trauma syndrome, from the original warmth and generosity to eccentric and irritable , a drunk loser.

"Remorse and pain tormented him. He tortured his wife and three children even more after he was drunk. He closed the door and turned his family into a small military camp. He used the strictest military regulations. To restrain his wife and children, even the slightest bit of kindness may cause irreparable mistakes.

"It went on like this for about ten years, and his children grew older and couldn't take it anymore, and rose up against this ugly and cruel tyrant, and finally, after a violent argument, he killed his wife with a shotgun. , two children and my own life, only the youngest child escaped by chance."

Chu Ge couldn't sit still.

It looked like someone was pointing a shotgun at him in the back too.

Chest and back, all dripping with cold sweat.

"You can't sit still like this. Do you think this is the whole tragedy?"

Guan Shan spread his hands again and said, "When the former scout captain dragged the whole family to be destroyed together, the youngest child lost everything in an instant—do you think that in those turbulent years, a child who had been severely punished since childhood? Orphans who have undergone rigorous military training, what can they rely on to survive?

"That's right, this little guy became a mercenary and discovered that he has a very rare talent for this job.

"He was doing very well. It didn't take long for him to become known as the 'Blood Eagle' in the mercenary circle. He also established his own mercenary group called the 'Double-Headed Eagle'. After a while, In 2010, his mercenary regiment became bigger and bigger, and the Earth Alliance established a solid order, so he accepted the adaptation of the Earth Army logically, and after a lot of hard work, he became a lieutenant general of the Earth Army with his illustrious military exploits."

Chu Ge finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up.

"is this real?"

Chu Ge lost his voice, "Wilson's father, 'Blood Eagle', ever had... that kind of experience?"

"As I said, this is a true story. The details may be different, but it is generally not bad. 'Blood Eagle' Wilson is a hero with outstanding military exploits. Many people in the military know his experience. secret."

Guan Shan said again, "You asked me how to evaluate 'Blood Eagle' Wilson, I really don't know - this is not an excuse, but I think the only difference between me and him is luck, I am very lucky not to fall into the His situation, so he can still stick to the bottom line of human nature, and he can sit here and talk about "justice and evil" with you. A lucky person should not judge an unfortunate person at will. Erson's only comment is that I pity him, that's all."

Chu Ge was silent.

Guan Shanzhong stood up, put all the information into the briefcase, and smiled smartly: "Forget it, I can see that I am afraid you are not suitable to join the Earth Army-you think too much, it is difficult to become a good soldier."

Chu Ge was stunned: "Are you voluntarily rejecting me? Soldiers can't have their own ideas?"

"Soldiers can of course have their own ideas, but it's best not to deviate too much from the superiors, otherwise, you will be in pain, the army will be in pain, and those comrades infected by you will suffer even more."

Guan Shan said again, "Although it's a pity to miss someone like you, it's not sweet to squeeze melons, why let everyone fall into a painful situation together? I will tell the above that I have conducted a detailed psychological evaluation on you , your mentality is extremely unstable, and you can’t meet the military’s standards—the fact is also true, you are not a soldier, but a soldier.”

"What's the difference between a soldier and a soldier?" Chu Ge asked.

"A soldier's duty is to obey orders, but a soldier has to find out what he is fighting for."

Guan Shanzhong breathed a sigh of relief, as if letting go of a heavy burden, and smiled, "I hope you find it soon, classmate Chu Ge."

Without hesitation, he turned around and strode out.

"Wait, Major Guan..." Chu Ge felt a little lost.

"Look, you are so sentimental and hesitant, how can you be a soldier like steel?"

Guan Shanzhong walked to the door without looking back, and waved his hands indiscriminately, "Then again, for the Earth Alliance, in addition to soldiers who absolutely obey orders, maybe some sentimental soldiers are also needed? Forget it, when I I haven't been here before, hurry up and accompany your 'Little Palace Master', haha!"
