Ahmed's face turned pale at Li Xin's words.
He picked up the milk tea and drank it all, then put down the cup and said, "You are right, we are indeed out of food."
"It's not just us. Other forces, big and small, are also in danger of running out of food, but it's not as serious as ours."
"But if you think you can control us mountain warriors like this, you are wrong."
Li Xin shook his head slightly and said, "I never meant to control you. Otherwise, what would be waiting for you would not be milk tea, but my sword."
"Am I right, Ahmed, the great leader of the mountain warriors?"
Ahmed did not explain, but said: "Since you know everything, then I want to ask, what do you think of us mountain warriors? If you want to accept us, what will you do?"
Li Xin asked, "Are you asking what I think of your defection?"
Li Xin smiled heartily and said, "That was fifty or sixty years ago."
"I said, not everyone has such deep hatred. Some people just want to have a full meal, and this also includes you mountain warriors."
“Time is the most terrible thing. It will destroy everything you cherish and care about, including love and hate!”
"I believe that under my command, you will never have the chance to rebel again!"
Ahmed looked at Li Xin, who was full of energy and vigor. The young man's laughter and words were so contagious.
Once, when he was twenty years old, he inherited the position of the chief of the mountain warriors because of his powerful psychic strength, and he was also so ambitious.
I wanted to lead the Mountain Warriors out of the predicament, but ten years have passed and the Mountain Warriors are still the same, without much change.
He asked, "So what will be our end after we take refuge with you?"
Li Xin said seriously, "I will treat you all equally. If you are willing to continue serving in the army, then you can stay."
"For those who don't want to join the army, I will arrange for them to work in factories or logistics departments!"
"Even for those who are willing to continue serving in the military, I will review them. Whether they are older or younger, there will be a place for them to go."
"The older ones will go back to work in the logistics department, while the younger ones will continue to go to school!"
Ahmed then asked, "So, we mountain warriors will be separated?"
Li Xin smiled slightly and said, "Of course!"
"I know you have over 1,500 people, but excluding the old and the young, there are no more than 1,000 of you who are truly qualified to fight."
"I will separate these 1,000 men. After a period of training, they will be added to the garrison. They will become the combat backbone of the garrison."
"This garrison is made up entirely of young people from Yadun. They will get along very well!"
Ahmed sneered and said, "So, you are still wary of us."
Li Xin said: "No, no, no! This is not a warning!"
"On the contrary, I am doing this because I truly want to accept you and embrace the bright future of Yadun with you."
Ahmed was stunned for a moment. He said, "You said that separating us mountain warriors is actually for our own good?"
Li Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "Why not?"
"If I were just using you as cannon fodder, I wouldn't have to reorganize and train you."
"I won't change your organization at all. I'll detain some of your elders and children, and use the rest as cannon fodder to gnaw on some tough bones."
"Do you think that not changing your organization is for your own good?"
Ahmed was stunned by Li Xin’s words. He felt that they made some sense, but something seemed wrong.
Ahmed paused, wanting to say something: "This..."
Li Xin asked, "You don't want the Mountain Warriors to disappear completely, right?"
Ahmed was silent for a moment and then said, “Yes!”
"The Mountain Warriors have a history of sixty years. Even though I came to you for everyone's sake, the Mountain Warriors were still wiped out by me."
When Li Xin heard him say this, he knew that everything was settled and the overall situation was determined.
As for Ahmed's hesitation, there was no problem at all. All the conditions for recruiting the mountain warriors were just sky-high prices set by Li Xin, waiting for Ahmed to land and pay back the money.
In fact, Li Xin’s bottom line is much lower than expected.
Li Xin nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. You are reluctant to part with the mountain warriors."
"You are a good leader, there is no need to be sentimental."
"I have another plan, maybe you should listen to it."
Ahmed looked up and asked, "What plan?"
Li Xin said, "It's very simple. The other plans remain unchanged. The elderly, weak, sick and disabled will still be arranged according to the original plan, either in logistics or going to school."
"As for the rest, I will train and reorganize most of them and send them into the garrison."
"Finally, I will give you a quota of 300 people. You will select them from among the mountain warriors. They will be trained as elite troops."
"They will inherit the title of Mountain Warriors and continue to fight in Yadun under this title."
Li Xin looked at Ahmed seriously and said, "If you want, you can still be the commander of this group of mountain warriors!"
Ahmed, who had already given up hope, saw the sky full of dark clouds suddenly torn apart, and sunlight shone down from above.
This is a win-win situation.
This was also a deliberate arrangement by Li Xin. In fact, this was done to guard against the mountain warriors.
Despite what he said, Li Xin didn't care about the mountain warriors' betrayal decades ago.
But how could he not care about such a thing? Once betrayal happens, there will be a second one. What if Li Xin's stay here doesn't go well and these guys want to escape again?
One plan is to completely break up the mountain warriors.
The soldiers will be separated, and after the training is completed, they will continue to be stationed in dispersed locations by battalions and companies.
It is much more difficult for these people to connect with each other.
And as Li Xin said, not everyone has such deep hatred. After experiencing the good life on Li Xin's side, Li Xin doesn't think many people would want to go back to a hard life.
Even if there were any, they would not be in the garrison.
Li Xin gave Ahmed the organization of 300 men and allowed him to choose his own men, that is, to select those with strong will from the mountain warriors.
This is a win-win situation!
Even if these guys really want to defect at that time, only 300 people can escape, and the loss is within Li Xin's acceptable range.
Moreover, when Li Xin made this suggestion, he already had a plan for the use of these 300 mountain warriors.
