Chapter 642 Complete Collapse of the EU Forces
"And this is just a small-scale invasion!"
"If there's a large-scale beast tide, or if there are a couple of ancient creatures mixed in, you might not even survive a single war."
Jack's brow twitched uncontrollably, and his body trembled. Finally, he took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "Commander of the Allied Forces, if you're here to mock us, then you've achieved your goal! Please leave, we still need to clean up the battlefield!"
"You misunderstand." Li Xiao suddenly smiled, shaking his head. "We are both warriors of human civilization. Although we have different positions, I wouldn't stoop so low as to kick you when you're down."
"I just want to ask you one question: what do you think your country sees you as?" Li Xiao asked very seriously.
Jack frowned. He looked at Li Xiao and said, "I know what you want to say."
Jack was a high-ranking officer. He knew very well what the Allied Forces were trying to achieve by deliberately showing them their superior food. He also knew what Li Xiao's purpose was in saying these things at this time, which was to undermine the morale of their army!
"But I can tell you that the EU soldiers will not be coerced by you, nor will they become knives in your hands to stab our leaders and force them to compromise with you." Jack suddenly became angry. He pointed his finger at Li Xiao's nose and said angrily, "So what if all our troops die in battle? We will never surrender to you!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Jack glared, panting heavily, his face full of anger as he looked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao narrowed his eyes, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "You seem to have misunderstood our relationship. We are not enemies, so why are you talking about… surrender?"
"Why? You know very well! Kyrat Island is supplying a large amount of high-quality living and war resources to the Allied Forces, but not to the EU and Y country forces. Isn't that just trying to force us to hand over command through this method? This is also a kind of war, a war of resources! Since it is a war, why can't I use the word surrender?" Jack sneered mockingly, "You are here now, also wanting to mock us, who are being strangled by the throat, with an attitude of superiority, right?"
"They didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but in the invisible war launched by you…" Jack said coldly, pointing to the corpses of the EU soldiers all over the ground.
Hearing Jack's accusations, Li Xiao suddenly laughed.
"Is that what you think? You think Kyrat Island providing resources to the Allied Forces and not to the EU is a war?" Li Xiao asked in a deep voice, "Then I have to ask you! Why should we provide resources to the EU and Y country?"
"Just because you are fellow human beings?"
"That's ridiculous!"
"Kyrat Island does have a lot of resources, but we are not the saviors of the world! If you are willing to hand over command and follow the orders of Kyrat Island, then you are a subordinate force of Kyrat Island. We have an obligation to help subordinate forces establish better combat conditions and reduce their casualty rate!"
"In simpler terms, we are their big brother, so the big brother has an obligation to help the little brother build a house, marry a wife, and do business…"
"If you are not willing to hand over command and are not willing to follow the orders of Kyrat Island, then our relationship is just that of allies!"
"You want to be on an equal footing with us, and you want us to help you unconditionally! You don't want to be our little brother, but you want us to fulfill the obligations of a big brother, is that possible?"
Li Xiao's speed wasn't fast or slow, enough for Jack to hear every word clearly. He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled smoke, saying, "We don't send you resources because we have no obligation to do so!"
"In other words, our behavior is completely reasonable and legal, and there is no deliberate targeting at all!"
"You think we are launching an invisible war against you, and you think I am here to mock you with an attitude of superiority… I also think you are daydreaming, always feeling that others should help you unconditionally, and if someone doesn't help you one day, you feel that others want to harm you, you paranoid schizophrenic!"
Jack was stunned, unable to refute Li Xiao's words.
He had indeed been very angry with Kyrat Island's actions before, but now that he thought about it, there was really nothing wrong with what Kyrat Island was doing.
Since the unification of command, the Alliance Association has become a mere shell. Now, human civilization is divided into two major factions: one is the Allied Forces faction led by Kyrat Island, and the other is the independent faction composed of the EU and Y country.
Although they both belong to human civilization, they are not in the same faction. If you don't follow their command, why should they send you resources? To be a sucker?
"You said they died in our hands, I don't think that statement is correct." Li Xiao looked at the corpses of the EU soldiers all over the ground and said calmly, "They died in the hands of your country's leaders."
"Died in your country's leaders' actions of refusing to hand over command and become a member of the Allied Forces in order to obtain greater benefits."
"Perhaps your leaders will be able to fight for more benefits in the future by holding the command in their hands, but are you sure that you and your comrades will still be able to enjoy these benefits?"
"How many more EU troops do you think will die to achieve that step?"
Li Xiao looked at Jack and asked, word by word.
Jack couldn't answer Li Xiao's question, his heart had already begun to waver.
"Your leaders sit in tall, bright offices, but let you charge forward and bear the high mortality rate in order to achieve their goals…"
"Now answer my previous question again."
"What do you think your country sees you as?"
Li Xiao had a strange smile on his face. He patted Jack on the shoulder, stuffed a few things into his hand, and then strode away: "Everyone should have the right to live!"
Li Xiao walked away, and Jack looked down at his palm. There were a few Ancient-grade Medicinal Fruits.
He began to recall Li Xiao's words, and after a long silence, he turned to look at the battlefield and distributed the Ancient-grade Medicinal Fruits to several seriously injured soldiers who were on the verge of death.
Watching their injuries gradually recover, the expression on Jack's face was extremely complicated.
"He's right… we can't go on like this." Jack whispered, "Our soldiers are bleeding, sacrificing themselves."
"Handing over military command may harm the interests of the upper echelons, but for the soldiers, it is definitely a good thing."
Jack looked into the distance, looked at the soldiers gradually gathering around him, raised his arms, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Soldiers, let's make our voices heard to the Supreme Council!"
"We agree to hand over military command!"
"It's not the politicians who are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, it's us!"
"We are the ones who have the most right to decide on this policy!"
The battlefield was silent for a long time, and then erupted with a roar of response!
