Episode 18 Chapter 13: Want to commit suicide? Please
The major shouted loudly: "I can't understand it, and we can't accept it even if we die!"
"You can't understand?" Prince Mei Jiyan asked.
"Yes, I can't understand it," said the major.
"I don't need you to understand, I just need you to obey." Prince Mei Jiyan said coldly: "And Captain Tang Xiaoyan has absolutely excellent combat skills. He won the mecha combat competition with Chao Zheng yesterday."
"Being good at mecha combat may not necessarily lead an army well. I can't imagine that a student who has never been a soldier can become an excellent commander." The major said: "And he is only a captain, and he has never been a soldier.
Captain, many of us are majors and even lieutenant colonels, and we cannot accept a captain as our commander."
"You still can't understand?" Mei Jiyan asked.
"Yes, I can't understand it," the major said.
"You still don't need to understand, just obey the order." Prince Mei Jiyan said coldly.
"I'm sorry, I can't obey the order either. That would be a disgrace to the Imperial people." The major said.
"Disobeying military orders means death..." Prince Mei Jiyan said coldly: "You need to think carefully."
"No need to think about it, I would rather die to safeguard the honor of the Imperial people." the major said loudly.
Prince Mei Jiyan said calmly: "Then you die."
"Yes!" the major saluted.
Then he knelt down on one knee in front of Prince Mei Jiyan and shouted loudly: "Long live the empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor, a thousand live His Royal Highness the Prince..."
After that, the major whipped out his saber and wiped it gently with his sleeve.
Prince Mei Jiyan glanced at Tang Xiaoyan. Tang Xiaoyan's face was expressionless, as if he was indifferent to what was happening in front of him.
"Pfft..." The major stabbed the knife into his heart, blood splattered everywhere, and he fell to the ground dead.
The school grounds were suddenly filled with the smell of blood, and the faces of all the guards were hot yet cold, filled with hatred yet perseverance.
"He disobeyed military orders, but defended his honor as a soldier with his life. So he is still a glorious imperial soldier." Prince Mei Jiyan looked at the major's body and said coldly: "Now, who else wants to
Disobey military orders, and take one step forward if you disobey military orders."
"Hulala..." Suddenly, almost everyone took a step forward in unison.
There is only one person who has not taken a step forward, and that is Hisashi Kawai.
Prince Mei Jiyan sneered and said: "There are so many people who want to disobey military orders, right? You are not afraid of death, are you? Well, then all of you will die."
"Yes, Your Highness..."
Immediately, all 133 people saluted, then knelt on one knee, drew out their sabers, tore off their military uniforms, exposed their bare chests, and wiped the sharp sabers with their sleeves.
"Long live the Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor, a thousand live His Royal Highness the Prince..."
One hundred and thirty three people shouted in unison. Then they raised their sabers and committed suicide.
"Your Excellency Tang Xiaoyan, do you have anything to say about the scene in front of you?" Prince Mei Jiyan asked.
"No!" Tang Xiaoyan said lightly.
Prince Mei Jiyan suddenly changed his expression and said: "These people are dead, so who will become a member of your guard?"
Tang Xiaoyan said calmly: "Two people can also become guards."
"What an excellent commander should do is to gain the support and recognition of his subordinates, right?" Prince Mei Jiyan said.
"I am here to protect His Majesty the Emperor, not to gain their recognition or support." Tang Xiaoyan said: "They only need to obey orders. If they are unwilling to obey, they can leave this guard. Or let His Majesty the Emperor
Or the Supreme Military Council of the Alliance will remove me from my position. Of course, they are willing to commit suicide to express their disobedience. That is also their freedom. After all, death is also a way to leave."
The corner of Prince Mei Jiyan's mouth suddenly twitched. This was completely different from the Tang Xiaoyan he knew. The Tang Xiaoyan he knew was kind to the point of being pedantic, and sunny to the point of being almost innocent, but at this time, Tang Xiaoyan was so indifferent.
The situation suddenly fell into a stalemate. One party wanted to use the death of 133 people to force Tang Xiaoyan to give in, but Tang Xiaoyan looked at their raised sabers coldly, waiting for them to commit suicide.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into embarrassment. Tang Xiaoyan even frowned impatiently. Although he didn't say it out loud, it was still possible to tell from his expression what he wanted to say: "You want everyone to commit seppuku? Then hurry up and we can talk after the incision."
thing!"
Suddenly, not only Prince Mei Jiyan, but everyone except Tang Xiaoyan became embarrassed.
"Your Highness, I have a method that can resolve the current conflict. It can also save the lives of one hundred and thirty-three imperial warriors." A general standing behind Prince Mei Jiyan suddenly spoke.
"Say." Prince Mei Jiyan said coldly.
"The soldiers of the empire do not know Captain Tang Xiaoyan. They trust Captain Tang Xiaoyan's combat skills, but they have doubts about his commanding ability. So as long as Captain Tang Xiaoyan proves his commanding ability, they are willing to obey Tang Xiaoyan
That’s Captain Xiaoyan’s order,” the general said.
"Is this so?" asked the soldiers of Mei Jiyan's dynasty.
"Yes." One hundred and thirty-three soldiers shouted in unison.
"Then this can be done like this. Captain Tang Xiaoyan will lead a group of guards. Another person will be found to lead the remaining people. After each training for ten days, a practical exercise will be conducted. If the team led by Captain Tang Xiaoyan wins,
It means that he has the ability to command, then the warriors of the empire can obey his orders, and Captain Tang Xiaoyan can officially become the supreme commander of the royal family's special mecha guard," the general said.
Prince Mei Jiyan looked at the group of mecha warriors and said, "Is that so? As long as His Excellency Tang Xiaoyan shows his commanding ability, you are willing to obey?"
"Yes!" all the soldiers shouted in unison.
"What do you think? Captain Tang Xiaoyan?" Prince Mei Jiyan asked.
"I have no objection to the exercise." Tang Xiaoyan said: "If I win, everyone must obey my opinion, and I have no objection. But if I lose, it is impossible to remove me from my position. I must
Through the Alliance Military Council, I will not bet on this position by winning or losing an exercise, and gambling is prohibited for Alliance soldiers."
As soon as Tang Xiaoyan said this, everyone suddenly changed their expressions. Well, if you win, you want benefits, but if you lose, you won't admit it. How can there be such a good thing?
Prince Mei Jiyan frowned and said secretly: "How can this Tang Xiaoyan be so naive? It is clear that oil and salt are not allowed to enter."
"Does His Excellency Tang Xiaoyan not even want the honor of a soldier?" an officer behind Prince Mei Jiyan shouted loudly.
Tang Xiaoyan sneered and said: "Excuse me, what does this matter have to do with honor? Does the honor of soldiers depend on gambling? I have told you a long time ago that the commander of the Royal Mecha Special Guards will be determined by the winning or losing of actual combat exercises.
You are just wishful thinking. I will not be so frivolous and gamble with this position. So I reiterate that I have no objection to actual combat exercises, which will help improve the combat effectiveness of the mecha guards. If I win, and you start to obey my orders, of course it is good.
But even after I win, you still don’t want to obey my orders, so that doesn’t matter. I don’t have any special talents, all I have is a violent streak. If you don’t obey, I’ll beat you until you obey!”
"Presumptuous. Ridiculous..." The officer behind Prince Mei Jiyan shouted sternly: "Are you bullying our imperial army?"
Tang Xiaoyan said coldly: "Shouldn't soldiers who disobey orders from superiors be punished or beaten?"
The officer was speechless. He then sneered: "A high-ranking commander wants to conquer the hearts of his subordinates. Using violence is just a reckless man. Even if the soldiers of the empire are convinced on the surface, they will not be convinced in their hearts."
Not convinced by you."
Tang Xiaoyan stared at him, sneered, and said slowly: "I only need your superficial obedience. As for what you think in your heart, it's up to you. If I still expect that my tiger body will shake and I will be domineering.
As soon as I say it, you will all bow your heads and worship me? Conquer your hearts with your personality charm? I am not that naive, and I don’t think I am so handsome."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions immediately turned ugly, including Prince Mei Jiyan.
Originally, in the mind of Prince Mei Jiyan, Tang Xiaoyan was really pure and passionate, so he repeatedly set traps on him. He hoped that Tang Xiaoyan would be too righteous and act out of his own will, thus falling into the trap they had prepared.
Who knew that Tang Xiaoyan was so incompetent. Of course, it was not that Tang Xiaoyan had become cunning and sophisticated, but that Tang Xiaoyan was the same person. He was indeed sunny and upright, but he was definitely not burdened by false fame. He insisted on being absolutely
Not this superficial heroism.
Suddenly everyone looked at Prince Mei Jiyan, waiting for Mei Jiyan to make the final decision.
Prince Mei Jiyan took a step forward and said: "I have ordered that the Royal Mecha Guards will conduct actual combat exercises in ten days. Your Excellency Tang Xiaoyan, I solemnly tell you that if the team you lead loses, I will inform the Alliance Military Committee
Apply for your dismissal. So this is not a matter of whether you agree or not. This is an order."
"Yes, Your Highness," Tang Xiaoyan said.
"Okay, let's do it this way." Prince Mei Jiyan said: "Then who can become the temporary commander of the other team?"
"I do." Chao Nuozheng came out.
"Do you have any opinions?" Prince Mei Jiyan asked everyone in the dynasty.
"No!" shouted the soldiers.
"What about you, Captain Tang Xiaoyan, do you have any objections?" Prince Mei Jiyan asked.
"No." Tang Xiaoyan said: "No, but I still want to reiterate that only the Alliance Military Commission has the power to transfer my position. I will absolutely refuse to obey any order from the Asian and American Empire royal family to change my position!"
Prince Mei Jiyan's expression changed and he said: "You don't need to worry about it now. If you lose, I will put pressure on the Alliance Military Commission."
"Okay, I have something else to do. You can take care of the next matter of selecting team members yourself." Prince Mei Jiyan turned and left directly, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Tang Xiaoyan and said: "Your Excellency,
I hope you will prepare well for battle and train during these ten days...that is to say, you will not go to see His Majesty the Emperor during this period!"
