Li Chang'an's face darkened, and his hand holding the teacup froze.
The brigade commander looked at him and laughed heartily. After he finished laughing, he asked, "Young man, what are your plans when we get to the island nation?"
"kill!"
"kill?"
"Yes, kill them. Only by killing all those little Japanese devils can I feel at ease."
Li Chang'an looked at the sea with a calm expression.
"Perhaps in your mind, Brigade Commander, I am a bit extreme."
"But when I think about it, if I let them live because of my momentary leniency, they might grow stronger in the future."
"Then, just as history describes, they invaded China and massacred our people. I have a knot in my heart about that."
"So I'd rather be a butcher, an executioner."
"This time, I will make the island nation disappear from the annals of history."
"I wouldn't want to let even a single bug on it go."
"I would rather bear the infamy of my entire life than let my descendants enjoy happiness."
The brigade commander looked at him and smiled.
"Half a lifetime spent on the battlefield, decades of great achievements, let the mountain spirits hear them."
"The worst thing for a general is to be indecisive. Once a decision is made, he must carry it out firmly."
"A kind heart cannot command an army, sentimentality cannot accomplish anything, righteousness cannot manage finances, and benevolence cannot make one an official. I'm giving you this saying."
"Regardless of right or wrong, whether your actions are meritorious or demeritful, future generations will evaluate you, so there's no need to be so conflicted about it."
“These past few days I’ve been watching you, and I’ve been hesitant. I was planning to try and persuade you.”
"But now it seems that your mind is still firm, which puts my mind at ease."
After hearing the brigade commander's words, Li Chang'an sighed: "Is it that obvious?"
Upon hearing this, the brigade burst into laughter: "That simpleton Li Yunlong can't see it? How can I not see it?"
"You keep saying you have a strong murderous aura, but a truly murderous person would never say it out loud."
"You're just making excuses to convince yourself."
"You've done very well. You have the heart of a bodhisattva to the people and the fierce wrath of a sledgehammer to crack against the enemy."
"Killing is saving lives, and saving lives also requires killing."
The brigade commander looked at Li Chang'an and patted him on the shoulder.
"Stick to what you want to do, young man. Who would you like to learn from? I have high hopes for you."
Hearing the brigade commander's words, Li Chang'an smiled happily. Being affirmed by this person was the greatest honor of his life.
He felt that the ancestral graves of his original world were now emitting green smoke.
The old man dialed 120, but there was probably no signal.
Three days later, Li Chang'an stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the sea in front of him, thus beginning the first Age of Exploration for the Ming Dynasty.
The red flag will definitely fly over Mount Fuji; this is an inevitable outcome.
No matter when, no matter where.
Departure, to the island nation.
