Chapter 4625: Persuade Elijah

At noon, Elijah, the commander of the Third Division of the Orumi Federal Army, finally entered the camp of the rebel army. Elijah did not break his promise, he only brought a platoon of guards to protect him.
It was also the first time that Lin Rui saw what the commander of the Third Division looked like. Elijah was an Arab, and the stubble on his face was a little gray. Even if he came to surrender, he still maintained the bearing of a soldier. The uniforms are straight and the boots are polished brightly.
"General Elijah, long time no see." Kazan sneered at Elijah.
"Kasan, I didn't expect we would meet here." Elijah also nodded. "I thought you died in a labor camp, but I didn't expect you to be alive."
"You are not dead, how dare I die easily. Our account in Anmore has not been settled yet." Kasan gritted his teeth.
"I'm here, what do you want? Are you planning to find an account?" Elijah provoked.
But to his disappointment, Lin Rui patted Kasang and directly let Kasang sit down.
"Who are you?" Elijah looked at Lin Rui.
"General Elijah, in fact, we are also old acquaintances. We fought against each other in Anmore. It's just the first time facing each other." Lin Rui smiled slightly.
"Are you a mercenary?" Elijah nodded, "I should have thought that with these rebels alone, I couldn't be forced into this way. Sure enough, mercenaries were involved, and there were also these Anmor people. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid the way we meet now will have to be interchanged."
"General, don't mind too much. As we all know the current situation, it is meaningless to put harsh words in the mouth. I believe that the general is not a quick talker." Lin Rui nodded.
"You are the three regiments that surrounded me. But I can honestly say that if you want to completely eliminate these three regiments of mine, it is not so easy. Everyone understands people, kills a thousand enemies, and hurts yourself 800 , We all understand. Call the hammer out and I will talk to him directly." Elijah lit a cigarette.
"This is Mr. Hammer." Lin Rui pointed to the hammer next to him, "but I am afraid that the general still has to talk to me, because Mr. Hammer has entrusted me to handle all military issues."
"Oh? I really looked away. This gentleman is so young that he can be entrusted with important tasks by Mr. Hammer." Elijah nodded. "Then I will talk to you directly. I know what you are thinking, and you want us to surrender. We can surrender, but there are also our requirements."
"Let's listen." Lin Rui nodded.
"I can let my people lay down their weapons and surrender to you. But you must ensure our safety. I know what is going on with your insurgents, but it's just a group of angry mobs. Once we put down the weapons, I can hardly believe it. , They can treat us rationally." Elijah looked at Lin Rui.
"This is something General Elijah can rest assured. We hope that the general can surrender. We hope that this matter can be used as an example. After that, a precedent can be established between the rebels and the Union army. So I can assure the general, Hammer Your husband will definitely value this." Lin Rui turned to the hammer.
The hammer nodded immediately, "Yes, as long as your army lays down its weapons and stops resisting, I will ensure that the rebel army will not blame it."
"Okay. In addition, I demand that our people be treated as prisoners of war and have all the rights of prisoners of war stipulated in the Geneva Convention." Elijah continued.
"I'm afraid this is impossible." Lin Rui shook his head. "I think General Elijah may have misunderstood us. We accept your surrender, but it is impossible to treat you as prisoners of war. Actually I hope General Elijah Be able to rate the department to join us.
Of course, if General Elijah, or your men are not willing to join. We can also give you a gift to leave. You are not prisoners of war, you are the people of the Orumi Federation who are oppressed and enslaved like the rebels.
It is not a soldier's work to step onto the battlefield and use guns to deal with his compatriots. The responsibility lies with the senior officials of the Olumian Federation and the secret society organization that directly controls them. I believe that the general is a pure soldier and his mission is to obey orders. Therefore, we can ignore what the general did before. "
"Then what do you want?" Elijah looked at Lin Rui directly.
"There is nothing shameful for a soldier to obey the order and define his own meaning. But now that the general has decided to surrender, then the general's obligations as a soldier have been fulfilled. We hope that the general can start again with an ordinary Orumi’s Participate in our actions." Lin Rui looked at Elijah.
Elijah was silent.
"The general, don't rush to answer. Let me first ask the general a question. If you don't have this level of military status, you are just an ordinary Orumi people. Which side will you stand on in this battle? Is it the federal government or the rebel army? "Lin Rui asked.
"I don't know, maybe I was defeated. But I have my pride, and I don't want to go with the criminals." Elijah shook his head.
The Hammer shook his head, "No one is a criminal. You know in your heart that those rebel soldiers are not criminals at all. They are just ordinary Orumi people, and you can just go to the rebel army and ask. Among them Some are farmers, some are construction workers, and even teachers and accountants.
Before the war broke out, at least that was the case. The general looked down on them, thinking they were vulnerable. This was the attitude even when the general first arrived. What I want to tell the general is that maybe they do lack combat skills. Because many of them have never even touched a gun.
They were never real fighters, but now they have taken up weapons and sacrificed their lives to resist the forces that tried to invade them. Who made them like this? Who forced farmers, workers, doctors and teachers, even women, into soldiers who had to pick up guns? "
Elijah nodded. "I know what you want to say. You mean we are all accomplices as soldiers."
"No, it's not just soldiers. All those who stand by are de facto accomplices." Hammer shook his head.
"General, our requirements are also very simple. We can meet the requirements and conditions you put forward. But we also need you to formally surrender to us and join our rebel army.
Between the federal army and the rebel army, it is not necessary to be immortal. We can show them that there are other ways to resolve differences. Even in many ways, our goals are the same. We can unite and fight the secret society and the Federal Management Committee that controls the Orumi Federation. "Lin Rui replied.
"What if I refuse?" Elijah whispered.
"You shouldn't refuse, because a person's pride should not be above conscience. Perhaps you think a rebel leader is a bit nonsense to tell you this." Hammer shook his head, "But if you are a real soldier, You should understand what I mean."
