Chapter 663 Madam, is it appropriate for you to encourage them to kill and burn people?
The lower cabin of the Izumo.
Xiao Ya, wearing a captain's uniform, came to the bottom floor accompanied by Gao Qiaoyi. The two ships that came over carried a total of nearly 3,000 marines, and the entire cabin was filled.
The lack of air circulation caused a strange smell in the cabin, but Xiao Ya frowned and looked at the group of soldiers in black uniforms and said, "You have all worked hard these past two days. Today, you can go out and get some fresh air."
The Marines, who originally had dazed looks, immediately showed joy when they heard Xiao Ya say that they could go out for some fresh air today.
Xiao Ya understood that they must be feeling very depressed after staying in such an environment for so many days.
"Everyone, I know you've been working very hard these past few days. Therefore, after we capture this place, you can have a good day of rest. The General and I have specifically requested this for you. I hope you will make the most of this day."
Gao Qiao looked at Xiao Ya beside him in surprise. Isn't this encouraging these people to kill and burn?
Isn't Xiao Ya the most gentle and kind person? Why would she bring this up?
If this were to be made known, these people would go crazy.
Oh, no, they've gone crazy. The eyes of this group of people have become extremely greedy, with golden light coming out of their eyes. Even though some people just looked down on Xiao Ya, now they all look at her with respect.
Xiao Ya noticed that the group's emotions were already being stirred. She coughed and put her hands behind her back. "But everyone, please know when to stop. If you can avoid killing, then don't kill. If you can avoid setting fire, then don't do it. After all, this place will be an important stopover for your navy in the future. If you kill everyone, there will be no one to serve you in the future. Especially the locals, try not to touch them. Of course, as for the foreigners, you can do whatever you want. Besides, they are also the wealthiest. I think many of you are still single, so it's not a bad idea to bring a foreign girl home."
"Madam, can we really do this?" A weak voice sounded behind the group of people.
The place where the breathing was steady just now was now completely silent. Everyone was waiting for Xiao Ya's answer.
"Yes, I said yes, so it's fine. However, you must remember the General's kindness. If it weren't for the General, if anyone else came here, you might not have had this opportunity. So, the money you robbed must be handed over to the fourth floor, and the remaining six floors can be kept for yourselves to spend or sent back home. How about this, agree?"
"Hi." The chorus of responses nearly shattered Xiao Ya's eardrums. She hummed, "Don't touch the bank. That place doesn't belong to you. As for the rest of the place, you can do whatever you want."
This sentence instantly set everyone present ablaze. Xiao Ya coughed and signaled for silence, saying, "Everyone, get ready for a better tomorrow. But I remind you, everything has to wait until we have it under control here. If we're quick, it will only take two hours."
After saying that, Xiao Ya left the cabin and went to Class A.
The fresh air instantly brought Xiao Ya back to life. She took out a cigarette. Gao Qiaoyi immediately took out a lighter and lit it for her. Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Madam, is this... is this appropriate?"
"That's right. They've been in the cabin for so many days, holding their breath. They'll definitely release it once they get out. Even if we don't tell them, they'll do it anyway. So why not try to win over your general's hearts?"
It seemed to be the case, but on closer thought, it wasn't right. Was he trying to win over the general, or was he trying to discredit the navy and make the British hate the empire from now on?
Even the adjutant felt something was wrong when he picked up the lighter. Xiao Ya's lips curled up slightly. "It has to be released. Rather than being uncontrollable, it's better to give orders. That way, they will be more cautious and won't overdo it. Let me tell you, this is the most prosperous place in the Far East Governor's Office. No matter how they rob, 40% of the income will go into your pockets and the General's. From this point of view, you are not at a loss. Of course, if you don't like money..."
"Madam is right. From now on, I, Takahashi Ichi, will obey you." Xiao Ya glanced at him sideways without saying anything, just looking quietly at the hotel in the distance. Today's action mainly depends on the actions of Takeshita Shun, Kobayashi Keiko and others. As long as those people are controlled, the rest will be easy to solve.
The banquet took place at the Far East Hotel, which boasted the finest carpets in the area. A red carpet had been laid out, a welcoming band was in attendance, and only about thirty soldiers, packing their weapons, were all Hase Kiyoshi had brought with him. The rest consisted of the chief of staff, the captain, and their adjutants.
It seems that this group of people poses no threat.
I was overthinking it. They really didn't dare to attack the empire, not now, and not in the future. The empire's reinforcements were about to arrive, and by then the Far East Fleet would be enough to scare them.
"It seems that their banquet today is just a gesture of goodwill towards us." Luo Fuguo said to Wilde beside him.
Wilder looked out the window at Hase Kiyoshi, who stood waiting, for a moment before turning to Luo Fuguo, "Governor, I've said before that they don't have the courage or the strength to do such things. They are very strong, but only in this region. Compared to Europe and us, they are nothing. They'd be fools to go to war with us."
"You're right. We were overthinking it. Since they specifically invited us, we can't just go and have a peaceful meal with them and then send them off.
Seeing the enemy convoy approaching, Hase Kiyoshi said to Chief of Staff Ono Jiro with a smile, "Do you think this plan for today can be successful?"
Xiao Ya is a powerful person, and Takeshita Shun is also a powerful character, but their plan is a little too risky.
"Isn't it too late for the General to worry about this problem now?" Ono Jiro stood nearby and lowered his voice.
The air force was due to take off in an hour. Whether this plan was risky or smooth, the Empire had no choice, and neither did the two of them. Right now, they could only adopt their approach.
"Yes, we have no choice. As the saying goes in this mountain city, the arrow is on the string and must be released. The current situation does not allow us to think too much."
"Yes, we have no choice. The situation has pushed us here. Now, we can only close our eyes and rush forward. And I think their plan will definitely succeed."
Chang Guqing glanced at him sideways and said, "Why are you so sure that this plan will succeed?"
