Chapter 89: Black and white are meant to be reversed
Destroy the Mapuche?
But it's just talk.
After a while, a ranger came to report that "the Mapuche people have fled." The fleeing Mapuche people left behind many cattle on the grassland, as many as tens of thousands of heads.
Of course, the cattle abandoned by the Mapuche people have now become weapons of war for Zhu Xianhai and his men.
Whether it is true or not is not important at all.
What matters is strength, even though in Matolo's opinion, all this is really absurd, and it is simply a lie to deceive children. But it does not prevent him from believing it all, and even praises his victory in an exaggerated tone.
In response to Matolo's praise, Zhu Xianhai said with great surprise.
"Oh, it's a pity, otherwise I could keep them and avenge you. After all, those Mapuche people caused a lot of casualties for you."
What is confusing right and wrong? This is it, but Zhu really doesn't mind.
There's nothing we can do, he has a strong fist right now.
What's wrong with confusing right and wrong? Isn't it just to confuse right and wrong that we have to work so hard to make our fists hard?
If you don't want to bully others, who would want to practice internal skills?
What?
Sir, what are you talking about?
It was obviously you who killed the person, okay!
But in an instant, Matolo understood and realized the other party's intention.
"Dear Mr. Steven, I really don't know how to thank you. If you hadn't taken the initiative to attack, I'm afraid we would have been surrounded and severely damaged by the Mapuche. God can testify that it was you who saved us!"
As a sycophant, it is certain that Matolo is extremely pragmatic. Telling lies with open eyes... This is a compulsory course for sycophants!
The white officers around him all looked at the major in astonishment. Major, is he... crazy? This guy is actually talking nonsense like this.
It was these people who suddenly appeared and killed them easily, but how come these people have become their "saviors" now?
But in an instant, they understood why the major said that.
Because this is the best outcome, the people were killed by the Mapuche people, and the American Company... was the rescuer.
Isn’t this the best of both worlds?
The question is who killed the person?
God can testify that if they dwell on this issue, they will most likely become dead. Then what?
The people were killed by the Mapuche.
"Sir, thank you very much for your rescue, otherwise I would never have the chance to see my family again!"
"Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"
Compared to the pragmatism of the officers, the gaucho cavalry were dumbfounded. They watched the officers' performance with indignation - that's it.
"Major!"
Carlos said angrily.
"Major, we lost a lot of people!"
"I know, the Mapuche killed them!"
"Major, it's them..."
Before Carlos could finish, Major Matolo interrupted him:
"They saved us, Carlos, and we want to express our gratitude."
This world is so absurd. The bigger the fist, the more final it is. Because of the big fist, Matolo confuses right and wrong. Because of the big fist, Carlos and the others can only swallow their anger.
But when they swallowed their anger, Carlos and other gauchos all had an indignant look on their faces. They were the lowest link in the Argentine contempt chain, and they were street kids on the grassland. As gauchos, they chased the herds on the grassland, from one pasture to another, from one town to another, and their lives were accompanied by the activities of the herds. They were always inseparable from the menial jobs of driving cattle, slaughtering cattle, and selling cowhide.
Even as cavalry, they were the lowest class and were discriminated against. Just like now, when the officers lied with their eyes open, no one cared about their feelings.
What are gauchos?
They are just a bunch of low-class people.
While listening to the white officers cooperating with him in their nonsense and praising the "heroic behavior" of the American Company, Zhu Xianhai also noticed the anger and dissatisfaction of the gaucho cavalry. Just like Carlos, his face was full of anger, but what could he do?
There is nothing I can do.
Carlos looks a bit like a mixed-race person. In fact, this is the characteristic of the Gauchos. Their fathers or grandfathers are Spaniards, and the poorest ones. In order to survive, they fled to the grasslands, lived with an indigenous woman, and gave birth to children. Generation after generation, they eventually formed the Gauchos. They look more like Indians than Spaniards, but they believe in Catholicism and speak Spanish.
But... that's it.
In Argentina's chain of contempt, their status is only slightly higher than that of the Indians.
"Dear sir, I feel it is necessary to tell Buenos Aires about your heroic act via telegram. I think soon, your heroic deeds will be sung all over the province!"
Matolo added fuel to the fire.
The reason why he wants to spread the news of "America Company's rescue" now is certainly not to spread its good reputation, but he wants to save his own life!
The whole world knows that he "saved everyone", so it is naturally impossible for this guy to "silence the witness".
Kill to silence someone.
This kind of thing is very common on the grassland. Even now, he is wondering whether he should deal with Carlos when he returns.
“Oh, this… Actually, you know, I’m not a person who likes a good reputation!”
Zhu Xianhai said.
"Sir, as a gentleman, you must accept the honor that belongs to you!"
Matoro said seriously.
At this moment, it seemed that the person standing in front of him was really his savior. He didn't know if it was his life saver, but he was definitely the one who could keep him alive!
Several other White Army officers also followed suit and tried to persuade him. How could they not be grateful to the "benefactor" who saved their lives?
"Yes, sir, this is the demeanor that a gentleman must have!"
Faced with everyone's persuasion, although Zhu Xianhai wanted to "refuse", he finally accepted their kindness reluctantly.
"Actually, you know, the reason I saved people was really just because I thought it was what I should do!"
I have to say that as a person in a high position, at least a person in a high position who holds the power over life and death, the feeling of dealing with a group of bootlickers who just want to survive is extremely comfortable.
These sycophants know very well what is most important to them - of course, their own interests.
Honor, even country, are not important in the eyes of flatterers. What is important is always himself .
Confusing right and wrong?
This is what sycophants do best, okay!
Die as a hero?
Those who die are always heroes!
What a bootlicker!
Just do whatever it takes to live!
