Genshin, but the real world

124 Chapter 123 - The Absurd Choice
Goro hesitated rarely.

"Do you think I should stop them?" Goro asked tentatively.

He has the answer in his chest, but he is also looking forward to Jiang Qing's answer.

From Jiang Qing's answer, we can see his choice and thoughts.

"You are considering my position and think that I am a good person who cares about ordinary people?" Jiang Qing waved his hand, "That's unnecessary. I think similarly to you, and that's not a bad thing."

Goro asked first, naturally not to refer to Jiang Qing's ideas.

Goro wanted to decide his own answer based on Jiang Qing's answer.

Said that the decision was a bit absolute, maybe it was thinking about how to answer without completely contradicting Jiang Qing, so that Jiang Qing would not feel unhappy.

This was to take care of Jiang Qing's thoughts, and it also meant that he already had a certain status within the resistance army on Haizhi Island.

People only care about the minds of those who are worthy.

"It's really not a bad thing." Goro sighed, "If it's just evil eyes, and those so-called fools have no other means, then it's a good thing."

It costs money to buy armor.

But even with armor and the best sword, it is impossible to increase the record of an armored soldier by ten times.

I am afraid that such a magical weapon can be associated with various myths and legends.

It is impossible for ordinary craftsman's armor to have this effect.

And people sent this magical weapon for free, Goro had to admit that this is really not a bad thing.

"This question is a little tricky... I don't know whether I should tell Lord Coral Palace."

For the first time since the establishment of the Rebel Army, Goro thought about hiding something from Coral Palace Xinhai.

"Don't know or don't dare to know?"

Jiang Qing was very interested, "You are looking forward to getting an answer that you shouldn't get. I hope she will take pity on the dignity of ordinary soldiers, and don't want their life and death to be used by others and become their toys."

"But you are very clear, in terms of the result, it is the best result right now."

"So you're concerned that she made the right choice in terms of her interests, but it's unjust, so it makes you miserable."

Goro lowered his head.

This question is still interesting, and it can be regarded as a dispute between right and justice.

A right thing may often be unjust.

Because if we want to achieve it, it is often difficult to succeed by sticking to the rules, and we must use some different means.

There are too many such examples, and most of them are not suitable for counting on the table.

And what is just is right most of the time.

But there is also a classic character with such a line, how much can a person pay for the justice in his heart?

As a result, enforcing justice is not necessarily on the right track.

What's more, justice and correctness often have two objects of execution, and the standards are formulated by human beings themselves, which adds more trouble to judgment.

So Jiang Qing doesn't comment on these things.

Goro's struggle doesn't end there.

He's a High Islander and just needs to do what's right for High Island.

Whether the matter is right or wrong for others, whether it is just or unjust, is of no value to him.

In war, lives are usually weighed.

For example, in order to achieve a certain goal, many soldiers on the frontal battlefield are often asked by the superior to stick to it.

Their persistence is actually to delay the rest of the mission, and their death has long been considered.

It turns out that their deaths are worthwhile as long as they can be delayed for a certain amount of time.

Whether it is heavy damage or annihilation of the entire army, it is valuable for the overall situation.

So the plan was passed and carried out.

As far as war itself is concerned, being right is far more important than justice.

Because the victor has the right to look back and lament for the dead.

And losers never have the opportunity to discuss justice and rightness.

But it is always human beings who are active in war.

Sacrifice should be respected, but it is not worth advocating.

People can use sacrifices in exchange for victory, but sacrifices cannot be regarded as the norm.

Goro couldn't deny it.

"I am a general in charge of the army, and I am used to seeing the life and death of soldiers."

Goro lowered his voice, "I will tell every soldier, tell them the future and hope."

He raised his head, "But I know that their lives are actually one-third of a soldier."

There is no hope or future at all.

There is no hope for the Rebels.

Unless there is something wrong with General Raiden himself, how can human beings find hope in the future where they are bound to confront the gods?

"I'm sorry." Jiang Qing said seriously.

These words sound light and light, and besides, he is still a foreigner, so there is no way to comfort Goro.

But to be honest, Jiang Qing also felt that the rebels had no future.

If there is no Ying, this is already inevitable.

Of course there are people in this world who can stop General Raiden, but absolutely no one will stop the general for the sake of the rebels.

Of course, if Coral Palace Xinhai's identity is reversed, there is still a chance.

But how can a person put all his chances of survival on those who have the possibility of luck?

"Just like what you said, I look forward to Master Xinhai making a just choice."

"I know that these comrades-in-arms died without a name, their lives are insignificant, and their sacrifices are... worthless."

He pursed his lips, looking pained.

Calling the death of a comrade-in-arms a worthless sacrifice is a painful reality for him.

But what else could Goro say?

He couldn't tell Jiang Qing, I think it's a valuable sacrifice for these soldiers to exchange three for one, and their sacrifice can bring about a bright future for Hai Zhi Island—don't be stupid.

Haegi Island has no future.

"In this case, a weapon like Xieyan is extremely valuable."

"It brings out the value of a life dozens of times and makes the death of these people more honorable."

Jiang Qing was listening.

He remained silent, listening to Goro's words.

"But this is really unpleasant!"

"They died for Haizhi Island, but their death became a clown play for some villains to mock."

"Are they laughing? Laughing at the group of idiots on Haizhi Island who have given their lives one after another for the sake of hopeless things!"

This is where it gets unpleasant.

Goro felt that although the death of his comrade-in-arms was generous, it was not worthy.

But he just couldn't accept it, and even life and death became a trivial matter to be fooled by others.

"But the reality is like this." Jiang Qing thought for a while, "Launching a war is a means for Jiujo Xiaoxing to seek benefits, and he doesn't care about the possible casualties and losses caused by the war."

"Fools spread evil eyes, and used the heavy pressure of the shogunate to oppress the soldiers at the bottom, forcing them to take the initiative to sacrifice their lives."

"Our lives, in their eyes, are trivial matters."

Life and death are no small matter.

But the life and death of ordinary people are trivial matters in their eyes.

Because death was so far away from them that they lost their awe of death.

"I've heard it said that those who sentence people to death must do it themselves." Jiang Qing remembered something, "If you want to take someone's life, you should at least look into his eyes and listen to his last words."

Goro is surprisingly able to understand the logic of this sentence, the core is actually very simple.

A murderer must have the consciousness of being killed.

Killing is an easy thing.

Power or strength, these can easily crush someone's life.

But killing should not be a first choice.

There are many ways to solve the problem, but like the shogunate and the fools, the first reaction is to kill the other party first, and then communicate to solve the problem after finding out that it can't be killed, it really shouldn't be.

The reason why things that shouldn't be done are popular is actually very simple.

They will kill, but they never think that they will be killed.

Walking all over the streets... If it weren't for the swords and swords, how could they have thought that they would be killed by some insignificant ordinary people with their positions?
It's ok.

That's exactly what I'm going to do.

If you know how to kill, you won't kowtow and beg for mercy when you are killed, right?
"I will dissuade Lord Coral Palace." Goro made up his mind.

"Even if the sacrifice will be ridiculed, since this is the best choice, I can't refuse."

He believed that the soldiers of the Rebel Army would not refuse.

Goro didn't want to test Coral Palace Xinhai either.

Therefore, when submitting the report on the matter, he would insist on promoting the evil eye and not give Coral Palace Xinhai a chance to make a decision.

If she does not make a choice, she will not face the struggle between justice and rightness.

In this case, Goro doesn't have to think about whether the Lord Coral Palace, whom he has always admired in his mind, will accept the ridicule, or whether the soldiers will not be ridiculed and ridiculed even to death.

If death is an inevitable result, Goro feels that his death can be disrespected, and even become a drama on the gambling table for some people.

But it must be worthwhile to die. Let people know that the rebel army has a general.

But there is no need to hand over this responsibility to Coral Palace Xinhai.

She has already broken her heart for the rebellion, so let this young military adviser retain the last bit of dignity.

He came to choose for everyone, giving up dignity, death is worthwhile.

"Can people with God's Eye also use Evil Eye?" He stood up and asked the last question.

"Maybe?" Jiang Qing said, "It seems to depend on people."

He is not clear about the logic of Xieyan's operation.

But since it is a tool, there must be good and bad.

Considering that the rebels were used as experimental subjects, they were only pulled out to collect data.

It is also difficult for Jiang Qing to say whether Goro can fulfill his wish.

"Ha, this thing is a pick."

Goro shook his head.

He sensed the value of this weapon.

It can enhance the strength of ordinary people, and naturally it can also enhance the strength of the holder of the God's Eye.

If he can go one step further, he may not be able to kill Kujo Sharo directly on the frontal battlefield.

Of course, Goro is not the opponent of Jiujo Shaluo on weekdays, but if Xieyan can continue to be promoted, he does not need to be promoted ten times like these people, as long as he is slightly strengthened by [-] to [-]%, he is also sure to win head-on.

Adding Jiang Qing, who is not good at force, it is an absolute must-kill situation.

Goro didn't have much expectation about whether Jiang Qing could kill Jiujo Shaluo.

He has good strength and knows the cruelty of war, but he just doesn't know how to kill people.

It's so weird.

If he had half the resoluteness of a soldier, Goro would feel that his cooperation with Jiang Qing would be fatal.

But Jiang Qing didn't.

He cherishes life and doesn't know much about killing people.

Kujo Shaluo is not alone.

She was also followed by countless brave soldiers, whose sole purpose of living was to keep Jiutiao Shaluo alive.

In this case, Jiang Qing may have a chance to seriously injure Jiujo Saluo.

But if you want to kill it directly... I'm afraid it can't be done.

Jiang Qing is adapting, but his starting point is too high.

With his current force value to deal with the samurai of the shogunate, he can't find any threat at all.

After the elemental power is strengthened, the physical fitness is not a problem even if it is hard to resist the sword.

Jiang Qing is able to control power without using elemental power...but his body is already so strong, what can an ordinary warrior do?
What's more, he never thought of killing Jiujo Shaluo.

What Jiang Qing wanted was the victory of the rebels and the defeat of the shogunate.

But this does not mean that he and Jiujo Shaluo have a life-and-death enmity, and one must fall.

On the contrary, Jiujo Shaluo agreed with his follow-up plan even more when he was alive.

Goro and Jiujo Shaluo are enemies of life and death.

He killed too many shoguns, Kujo Sara also killed more resistance soldiers.

As long as anyone has a little conscience and compassion for his comrades, when the two of them meet on the battlefield, it is bound to be a dead end.

In the subsequent negotiations, they could only choose peace talks on the basis of having to pursue peace.

Jiujo Shaluo can't go against Ying's wishes, if she wants to stand on the side of the rebels, Jiujo Shaluo can only give in.

Because this is the general's friend.

Coral Palace Xinhai is naturally the party that yearns for peace, she knows best that there is no victory in the war with the shogunate in the end.

So in the end, the two enemies of life and death had the opportunity to sit down and talk slowly.

The basis of conversation is strength.

The Rebels have love.

During the days when she was wanted by the general, the rebel army accepted Ying, and she also left a lot of memories here.

It is precisely because of this that she is willing to support the rebel army as long as the rebel army does not make mistakes.

And she knew the general and was friends with Yae Miko.

At that time, the order of the shogunate had been rebuilt, and the most powerful of the three obediences was the society, and the survey and determination of the execution had not yet been decided, and the second young master who was not trained as the heavenly leader took over the position of the Tianling.

In the absence of the general, the shogunate can only choose peace.

And the shogunate has generals.

Needless to say, Narugami's name is enough for anyone to keep a peaceful mind.

Ying can influence the general, and there is a possibility that everyone's strength is equal, so there is a need for communication.

The logic behind many strange things is not complicated. For example, Coral Palace Xinhai took the flag to resist the general, but was not executed outright in the end. Instead, it was able to force the shogunate to make concessions and give Haizhi Island greater autonomy.

This kind of absurd thing that the weak side can force the strong side to back down will never be absurd in nature.

Because once these unreasonable things happen, there are often forces more powerful than reason involved.

For example - Ying defeated the general.

Not to mention the nine filial piety, even the stragglers can't imagine that a rookie who was tricked into passing out when he met him, actually defeated the general with his backhand, forcing him to change the order of locking the country and the order of eye hunting.

Who wouldn't laugh at this kind of thing, thinking it was a joke?
But it just happened.

The fact is so, why not.

Jiang Qing did not continue to persuade.

Goro has made up his mind.

He knew that this kind of action would only be ridiculed by fools, and even death would lose its dignity.

But anyway, their deaths were worthwhile.

The Rebels don't have much choice, and it's good to have a choice.

In this way, the news about Xieyan was passed upwards from Jiang Qing, and then came to the desk in Xinhai of Coral Palace.

Goro's rare tone became tougher.

"According to the results of the investigation, these people who suddenly became prominent in military exploits actually relied on a tool called the evil eye."

"This is developed by fools, a weapon that can squeeze the vitality of the human body in exchange for strength."

So he reported.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, they secretly promote these weapons among the soldiers of Haizhi Island. The purpose is to obtain experimental data through the actual combat of the soldiers, and then complete the further design and improvement of Xieyan."

"I suggest that you can temporarily suppress this matter without getting to the bottom of it."

Coral Palace Xinhai did not stop working.

She has always been kind to Goro.

She should have stopped working and had a good conversation with the only general the rebels could rely on at the moment.

But at this moment, she lowered her eyes, as if she didn't hear it at all.

Goro didn't say much, just silently waiting for Coral Palace Xinhai's answer.

Coral Palace Xinhai maintains high-intensity work efficiency.

It wasn't until she finished handling the affairs in front of her that she stretched rather girlishly.

"You said, you suggest that I don't pursue it any further?" She laughed, "Very well, you still take care of my face."

"Why don't you use another way of saying it... In Jiang Qing's tone, it should be, am I qualified to pursue it?"

Goro lowered his head.

"Yes."

"My answer is to confiscate the evil eye." Coral Palace Xinhai said with a smile.

"I understand."

Goro nodded.

"Would you like to persuade me?" Coral Palace Xinhai asked with great interest, "Jiang Qing used a lot of words to make you realize this matter?"

"I believe you know his reason." Goro said, "When you know the reason, you choose to deny it."

"You have your reasons."

"And I will always believe in you."

It's not that if you know how to do something, you must do it in this way.

It's as if there are very few patients who get sick by the textbook.

There are always different reasons for one thing.

Jiang Qing's reasoning was very simple, and Coral Palace Xinhai rejected it, so there was no need to explain it to Goro.

He is always acceptable.

"You." Coral Palace Xinhai blinked, "You still want to know, right?"

"Yes." Goro looked at the gentle smiling face of Coral Palace Xinhai.

Most of the time, this is the case with the military adviser of the rebel army.

With power comes responsibility, and nowhere is this weight more evident than when you are on the weaker side in a war.

Jiujo filial piety may not know what responsibility he has to the shogunate for his celestial pursuit, probably the shogunate is just a tool for him to make profits.

But Coral Palace Xinhai must be aware of the power and pressure of her identity as a [Present Goddess].

The people who are under the most stress are always the ones with the gentlest smiles.

"I can guess what Jiang Qing said." Coral Palace Xinhai said.

She didn't know the evil eye before.

But as long as she knew the function of Xieyan and who provided it, she would be able to guess what Jiang Qing told Wulang.

"He must have repeatedly weighed the value of life on the scale, and finally you were moved by his rhetoric and chose the most valuable path."

"It's actually weird."

Coral Palace Xinhai raised his head, his eyes bright, "He is a staunch fugitive, and he doesn't have any expectations for the future of the rebel army."

"He never expected the Rebels to win."

"Yes." Goro couldn't refute.

Jiang Qing never concealed this.

Goro will not forcefully boast that the Rebels can win.

No one mentions the general, everyone knows the general.

How to win?
"Then, a staunch fugitive, a person who has an extremely clear understanding of failure... Well, this is where the strange thing is." Coral Palace Xinhai said, "If failure is an inevitable result, you will choose to have A death with dignity, or a death without dignity."

"I choose a worthy death." Goro gave another answer.

"Value, value...Jiang Qing's rhetoric is always so interesting." The girl said with a smile, "Then let me tell you another fact, the death of the rebels will not be valuable."

Goro froze in place.

"This war is a game of Tianling's pursuit. If we can only entangle with the shogunate, then he will not be punished or lose anything in his life."

"It's just killing some soldiers who were instigated by the black hands behind the scenes. Do you think this is a worthy death?"

She stood up, her expression changed from mild to indifferent.

"The only worthwhile part of this war is to make Kujo Takayuki pay the price."

"Let him understand that he can choose war, but the outcome may not be what he wants."

"On this basis, the death of Kujo Sharo is also what we want."

"But ordinary soldiers... they are not innocent, but killing them is not revenge."

This is just a small game played by a powerful person for more power.

But just one game, Haizhi Island was driven to a dead end.

"But Jiang Qing..." Goro muttered.

His subconscious reaction was that Jiang Qing didn't tell himself the news.

"Jiang Qing's interests are different from ours."

Coral Palace Xinhai returned to its former gentleness.

"Simply put, I never gave up hope of winning because I never thought we would win."

She lowered her voice, "Yes, from the very beginning, I just wanted to die with dignity."

"But Jiang Qing is different. The reason why he, a standard pessimist, encourages you to fight is because...he thinks Haizhi Island can live."

Goro thought it was ridiculous.
