Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 717 Joining Thunder Leopard
However, Li Jiu also knew that although the situation the alliance was facing now was not optimistic, he did not have to worry about these things, and he was also unable to intervene.
"Forget it, if the sky falls, there will always be taller people to hold it up. I should think carefully about how to develop my own power..." After thinking for a moment, Li Jiu put all those distracting thoughts behind him.
Li Jiu firmly believed in one thing: no matter how the situation changes in the future or when it happens, if he wants to survive, he must first strengthen his own power!
Even if the alliance fails in this war in the future, if they have enough strength to compete with the defender camp, they can still survive well!
Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario.
If possible, Li Jiu also didn't want the alliance to be defeated in the end.
After all, no matter what, in a world ruled by the Alliance, humans are still the masters of their own destiny, which is much better than the Defender camp completely entrusting the fate of all humans to a super-intelligent "God".
Moreover, if the alliance really fails in the end, then all those who belong to the alliance camp will probably not escape the punishment of the gods.
"By the way, Zhao Wu, where do you want to go?" After the transport plane flew away, Li Jiu withdrew his gaze from outside and asked Zhao Wu.
Although he had promised to take Zhao Wu and the others to a safe area, he still didn't know where they were going.
"We..." Zhao Wu hesitated, turned his head and looked at the seven soldiers beside him. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Where do you want to go?"
After hearing what Zhao Wu said, the soldiers looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and then looked at Zhao Wu at the same time and said in unison: "We will follow the regiment. Wherever the commander goes, we will go!"
"Good! Good brothers!" Hearing his subordinates' unwavering response, Zhao Wu smiled indifferently and nodded with satisfaction.
These few soldiers who stayed behind have experienced life-and-death battles with Zhao Wu, and now they can be said to be following him wholeheartedly.
"It seems that Zhao Wu is indeed a good person. He must be very loyal to his brothers, otherwise these people would not follow him to death..." Seeing this scene, Li Jiu nodded silently in his heart, and once again affirmed Zhao Wu's character. Only such a loyal person is worth taking the risk to rescue.
"Brother Li Jiu, we don't have a good place to go right now. If it's convenient for you, we brothers would like to follow you in the future. Is it convenient for you?" Zhao Wu turned around and looked at Li Jiu, and said very sincerely: "You seem to have established your own mercenary group. We want to join your mercenary group. Although we don't have any other skills, we think we have no problem being a mercenary."
"Of course, I also know that we left Wanghai City without permission, which can be said to be a crime. If we are discovered, we will probably be sent to the military court immediately. And if you take us in, I am afraid that you may get into trouble because of us. Therefore, if a few of us join your mercenary group, we don't ask for any compensation. You just need to take care of our three meals a day and ensure our basic daily life."
After Zhao Wu finished speaking, the other seven soldiers immediately nodded, indicating that they had no objection at all and would all follow Zhao Wu's arrangements.
However, after listening to this, Scar Brother and the others couldn't help but frown.
In their opinion, Zhao Wu's request was a bit excessive.
Because you have to know that Li Jiu took them out of that town, let them board Night Rose's transport plane and took them back, which was already a big risk.
After all, after Zhao Wu and his friends fled Wanghai City without permission, they were actually considered deserters!
Although everyone knew that if he insisted on staying in Wanghai City, the result would be certain death.
But there is no choice, military orders are as heavy as mountains and military laws are as hard as iron!
As a soldier, even if you receive a wrong order, you must execute it!
In other words, even if the order is wrong, you must execute it first, even if you have to pay the price of your life for this wrong order!
If something goes wrong later, the person who issued the order will naturally receive the appropriate punishment, but the order must be absolutely executed.
This is the rule in the army and it must not be broken, otherwise the soldiers of the entire army will be out of command!
So, although Zhao Wu and his men made the right choice, in the eyes of the Alliance Government, they were violating military orders and becoming deserters!
After returning, if others knew that Li Jiu had brought Zhao Wu and other deserters back with him, he would probably be brought to the military court along with Zhao Wu.
Therefore, after hearing Zhao Wu's answer, Scar Brother and the others couldn't help but look at Li Jiu, all frowning.
"Brother Li Jiu, you have to think about this matter carefully before making a decision. I have been a soldier and I know the strict discipline in the army. If this matter is not handled properly, Zhao Wu and the others will be shot! And you will inevitably be implicated, and the result may even be the same as theirs..." Scar Brother, a retired veteran, first spoke quietly to Li Jiu through the God of War system.
"Scar is right, Little Leo, we have done our best by bringing them back. I think we should just place them somewhere. As for taking them in to join your mercenary group, that's too risky..." Bella also said anxiously.
"Yes! I think it's best to send them to other provinces. In this way, even if someone finds out about Zhao Wu and the others later, they may not be able to find out that it was us who rescued them." Bacchus suggested.
"Captain, you make the decision. You can do anything. I believe you will make the wisest decision." Xiaodao did not resist too much, but just said lightly.
Elva on the side looked at Zhao Wu and others, then at Li Jiu, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just bit her lip and said nothing.
"Haha, don't worry, I already have an idea in mind." Li Jiu looked at Zhao Wu and the others, and quietly spoke to the team members in the God of War system.
How could he not know the worries of his teammates?
Li Jiu had thought about these things as early as when he made up his mind to help Zhao Wu and the others escape.
At the same time, he also knew that although what the team members said might sound a little inhumane, it was ultimately for their own good.
As the saying goes, don't take on a job that doesn't have the right skills. Do things within your capabilities. In the eyes of the team members, rescuing Zhao Wu and his men was fine, but keeping them around and even letting them join the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group would be too dangerous. If the truth came out one day, they would not be able to handle it and would be in big trouble.
"Zhao Wu, do you really want to go back with me and join my Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group?" Looking at Zhao Wu's eyes, Li Jiu asked calmly.
"Yes!" Zhao Wu nodded without hesitation, and several soldiers beside him also nodded.
"Okay, then you just follow me from now on!" Seeing this scene, Li Jiu smiled indifferently and nodded in response.
"Captain, have you really thought it through?" Scar Brother couldn't say much in front of Zhao Wu, but he couldn't help but remind him again.
"Well, Scar, you don't have to say anything more. My Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group has just been established, and now we are short of manpower, especially a good general like ." Li Jiu glanced at Brother Scar, shook his head and smiled.
Although the team members' concerns are not unreasonable, Li Jiu doesn't care much about it now.
As the saying goes, too many lice don't itch, too many debts don't worry, and this is my current situation.
Now, he has taken in the Doug brothers, Clouded Leopard, and Lin Zhen. If any of them is discovered, he will probably be in trouble.
Especially the Doug brothers. Until now, I still don’t know where these two soldiers escaped from...
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with taking in Zhao Wu and the others.
Besides, the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group had just been established, and apart from the group leader himself, there wasn't even a true second-level warrior in the group. It could be said that their strength was very weak.
The addition of Zhao Wu and the other eight people will immediately greatly increase the strength of the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group!
Because, in addition to Zhao Wu, a lieutenant colonel who is a level 4 warrior, among the other seven mercenaries, there is a major who is a level 3 warrior, five captains who are level 2 warriors, and a lieutenant soldier.
This force is comparable to an elite team that most two-star mercenary groups do not have!
Especially Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Wu, who used to be a regiment commander in the army. His experience in managing soldiers and fighting is definitely no worse than that of other mercenary group commanders!
Although Doug and his two men were now managing the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group, and they were all working very hard, they had no experience in managing a large number of soldiers before, and they were all trying to gain experience. Therefore, their efficiency in managing the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group was naturally not as good as Zhao Wu's.
Of course, even if Zhao Wu joined the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group, Li Jiu would not be able to immediately hand over all management power to him. At most, he would only let him and Doug and the other two work together to manage the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group.
"Brother Li Jiu, thank you very much!" Hearing Li Jiu's answer, Zhao Wu smiled slightly and nodded gratefully. At the same time, the soldiers couldn't help but look at each other with joy. Now everyone finally had a place to stand.
"Also, Zhao Wu, after you join the Thunder Leopards, your salaries and other things will still be paid according to your current military ranks." Li Jiu continued, "However, in order to hide your identities, I'm afraid I will have to give you a few new identities, and you will have to start from privates again."
"No problem, I'll follow the captain's instructions." Zhao Wu nodded with a smile and changed his address on the spot.
"All of us listen to the commander!" The other seven soldiers also looked at Li Jiu and nodded at the same time.
