Chapter 4308: Mortal heart

"Isn't that simple? We caught Quinn, so we can ask him to give orders directly, so that his brothers can follow us to withdraw?" Sergey said anxiously.
"You sit down for me. I repeat, none of you can act rashly without my order. Actuaries, look at them, and I will go to Quinn again. Try one more time as much as possible. If it doesn't make sense, Let's make other plans." Lin Rui stood up.
"It can only be so." The actuary nodded Jiangan.
Lin Rui turned and left, came to General Quinn's office, and knocked on the door with his hand.
"Come in..." General Quinn's voice seemed very anxious. When he saw that the person coming in was Lin Rui, he shook his head slightly in embarrassment, "Sorry, Mr. Rick, I just called the Ministry of Defense. What we need Reinforcements and materials, I am afraid that they will not be able to arrive soon."
"General, the situation is very tense now. According to the intelligence analysis we have obtained, the enemy is likely to launch an offensive against Palimo in a short period of time. And we believe that this offensive is extraordinary, and they have almost assembled nearby. The combat power of all terrorist organizations.
Once an attack is launched, it will be more violent than the previous one. And you also know that since we defended Palimo last time, our soldiers have suffered heavy losses and the consumption of ammunition and supplies is also quite alarming. It can be said that tactically, we have no chance of winning this battle. "Lin Rui kept his tone down as much as possible.
"Has the intelligence of the enemy's upcoming invasion confirmed?" General Quinn asked.
"We have confirmed it from many aspects, and it is basically certain that this attack is inevitable. And we believe that their investment this time will be 4 times or even 5 times ours, and they will defend Palimo from the current situation. I am afraid that the situation has become a luxury.
Evacuate early, there may be a silver lining. But if you stay here and want to fight hard with the enemy, there is only one ending, and that is the entire army is annihilated. "Lin Rui looked at General Quinn.
"Mr. Rick, I understand all of what you said. Moreover, the actuary has carefully analyzed the stakes in it. But Mr. Rick, I am a soldier. I have not given an evacuation order from the superior, so I must be here. Hold on, so do my soldiers." General Quinn replied.
"But if you stay here, you will die." Lin Rui frowned. "You know me, I don't like to talk around. I like to tell the truth. If you and your people choose to stay here, you will all die. it's here."
"To die for the country is the lofty mission of a soldier." General Kuiren was awe-inspiring. "Mr. Rick, although I have full respect for you. But I am a professional soldier. The biggest difference between me and you is that I have responsibilities on my shoulders, but you don't.
As a military member, I admire your professional ability very much. But your lack of national righteousness has caused you to always proceed from your interests. But I am different, I am a soldier in the true sense. Sometimes honor, sense of mission and responsibility will support a soldier to make his final choice.
As General Patton said, the final destination of a soldier is to be hit by the last bullet in the last battle. "
Lin Rui was silent for a while, "It's beautiful. To be honest, in our industry, we are walking on the edge of life and death every day. I have thought more than once how I would die. If I could die like you said, it might not be the case. An ideal death. This is the most romantic way for soldiers to die. But it is also the most irresponsible way to die."
General Quinn turned his head, "I have decided to live and die with Palimo."
"Leave aside this. Let's talk about the sense of responsibility. You just said that you are a responsible commander. And do you know that your decision will cause thousands of your brothers to die with you? Maybe you can He gritted his teeth and said this was a sacrifice for the country.
But have you ever thought about it? Does your country need you to die? Perhaps as far as the current situation is concerned, your country needs you to live more. A person is valuable only if he is alive, and your country needs your contribution. But you can only contribute if you are alive.
This is not the last battle, you choose to stay here and fight to the end with your brothers. But even if you are all dead, the terrorists will still occupy Palimo. In other words, your death is worthless. If you can be sure that you can defeat the enemy by staying, then such death can be called a sacrifice.
Otherwise, it is meaningless waste. General, the current situation is very complicated. The spread of terrorists in Western Sahara, and people with ulterior motives are pushing behind it. That's why your government will cooperate with us and send you as a representative.
We ourselves want to start another mode, unofficial and informal, but we can do what the official can't. This is the ultimate goal of our cooperation. And in fact, we did make some achievements, but if you die like this, then many things we did before will be wasted.
So this is not to sacrifice for the country, but to shirk responsibility with death. You just said that real soldiers live for their sense of responsibility and mission, but we live for profit. It looks like this on the surface, but in reality?
Everything is profit. What you think of dying for the country is nothing but national interest and national interest. Interest groups are formed in this world only when there are interests, and the nation is just another form of interest group. Soldiers fighting for the country are actually fighting for the benefit of the country. There is essentially no difference.
Since you want to fight for your country, you have to proceed from the national interest. Do you really think that if you all die here, it will benefit the national interest? Not at all, it's just a self-knowledge in your stubborn mind. And your country is completely out of it. "Lin Rui shrugged.
"Mr. Rick, are you insulting my dignity as a soldier?" General Quinn said sharply.
"I'm reminding you of your responsibilities as a soldier. As long as you are still in the service for one day, your life belongs to your country, not what you want to sacrifice.
Dare to sacrifice, sounds great. But in fact it is nonsense. Because death is an easy thing, and what we are going to do now is many times more difficult than when we die. Do you think you will be praised if you die here?
You are wrong, this world is very practical. Only if you die in victory will you be praised. And dying in failure, no one will remember you. When others talk about you, they will only say that you have lost thousands of brothers here because of a command error. Not only did you fail to defend Palimo, but you also died here. No one will think you are a hero. Lin Rui stood up and strode out, "If you change your mind, you can come to me." Otherwise I don't want to waste my words with a dead person. "
General Quinn sat in his chair and said nothing.
