Chapter 1185: Xiao Qian is Dead

Three small boats were seized by Tsarist Russia, and the Longyan Soldiers on board were all brought to the flagship of the Tsarist Russian fleet.

Of course, protective measures had been taken.

After all, in the eyes of the Tsarist Russians, these people had just encountered the Plague; although they were now full of vigor, no one could guarantee whether they were carrying the Plague bacteria.

More than fifty people, their hands bound by Tsarist Russian soldiers, were escorted before Ushakov.

"Kneel!"

Although the Longyan Soldiers were displeased, being in the enemy camp, they had no Method.

Under the threat of blades, they could only hang their heads and kneel down dejectedly.

Ushakov scrutinized these "captured" Longyan Soldiers, and at this moment, he actually discovered that among the soldiers, there was a Brigadier General!

It looked like he must have led this mutiny.

"You, stand up."

Ushakov ordered the Brigadier General.

The Brigadier General gave him a somewhat defiant look, then stood up.

"You seem very unconvinced."

Ushakov said with a smile.

"Yes." Brigadier Wang also answered straightforwardly.

"If you're unconvinced, why are you here?"

Ushakov gave a cold laugh.

"For that, you shouldn't ask me; you know best in your heart."

Brigadier Wang said coldly.

Tsarist Russia was actually capable of using a Method like the Plague! They had absolutely no Human Way regarding war!

They were a bunch of animals!

How could he not hate them!

"Audacious, how dare you be disrespectful to the General!"

Brigadier Wang's tone naturally drew the dissatisfaction of Ushakov's subordinate officers; after speaking, they moved to strike, but were stopped by Ushakov.

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated—he still understood this principle.

The other party had already knelt; not giving them a chance to speak was indeed too excessive.

Moreover, this was a Brigadier General; his mouth held quite a bit of intelligence on the Longyan army. If he could be questioned and used, the scales of victory would tilt completely toward Tsarist Russia!

"Someone, untie this General."

Ushakov said with a smile.

"There's no point in pulling this act. Although I defected, I am still a Longyan soldier. Even if I die, I am a dead man of Longyan. I will not do things that betray Longyan."

Brigadier Wang said coldly.

"Good, your courage is commendable. It's just that I don't know if Longyan recognizes your loyalty and integrity."

Ushakov laughed heartily.

"You don't need to worry about that. I, a Longyan soldier, will absolutely never associate with a devil like you!"

Brigadier Wang said disdainfully.

You couldn't win in battle, so you could only use the Plague to break through Longyan!

You don't have a shred of a soldier's character!

"Brigadier, don't keep people at a distance. If you truly had the determination to die, you wouldn't have come to me, would you?"

Ushakov gave a cold laugh.

Over these years, what kind of prisoners had he not seen?

Those truly loyal to their country would not give him the chance to capture them! They would have already committed suicide on the road through various methods!

Anyone who arrived here was looking for a glimmer of survival!

Hearing Ushakov's words, Brigadier Wang frowned, but he said nothing.

Seeing this subtle change, Ushakov knew there was an opening.

Right now, there was still a line of defense in Brigadier Wang's heart; as long as he could make him break that defense, things would be much easier to handle.

"Brigadier Wang, if you were truly ready to face death, you wouldn't have fled Sakhalin Island. You came to me because you didn't want to die yourself, right?"

Ushakov asked with a smile.

Dao.

Hearing this, the corners of Brigadier Wang's mouth twitched slightly, then he closed his eyes and lifted his head.

"I said, I am a man of Longyan in life and a dead man of Longyan in death. I will not betray my country," Brigadier Wang declared grandly.

"General, please rest assured. No one is asking you to betray your country; we just want to understand the situation. As long as I hear what I want to hear, I guarantee that you and your soldiers will be safe and sound."

Facing Ushakov's patient persuasion, Brigadier Wang no longer continued to hold out.

"If you want to ask something, just ask. As long as I can say it, I certainly won't hide it."

Brigadier Wang sighed and said.

"A defeated general, you still..."

Brigadier Wang's unyielding appearance truly made Ushakov's subordinate officers very unhappy. Just as they were about to speak up to discipline him, they were stopped by Ushakov.

They didn't like this Brigadier Wang, but Ushakov was the exact opposite.

If this Brigadier Wang were a fawning general, he would instead have to consider whether this was an enemy plot. This Brigadier Wang still had a sense of soldierly spirit; what such a person said was relatively more credible.

"Why did you turn against us? What exactly happened on Sakhalin Island?" Ushakov asked.

"Isn't it because of the good work you did?" Brigadier Wang sneered.

"The Black Death, has it spread?"

"That's not the case. Although at the very beginning, the Plague caused our army very dire consequences, it didn't take long for the Liangzhou medical team to arrive, and they quickly brought the Plague under control."

"Controlled, so quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Ushakov was still shocked. They knew best what the Plague was; for such a formidable virus to be brought under control by them in such a short time, were they joking?

Although he was very shocked at first, he quickly reacted.

Just now, there was an important piece of intelligence hidden in the words of the Assistant General.

Liangzhou.

The medical team came from Liangzhou.

What kind of place is Liangzhou? That is Liu Zheng's base of operations!

Why did the Russian Army spare no effort to attack the Western Regions of Longyan? It was for Liu Zheng's Liangzhou!

Liangzhou is the most magical place in this world; the wealthiest Chamber of Commerce is the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the best-tasting liquor is Liangzhou's Yinzhou Drunk.

Even the most advanced Cannon in this world, as well as the most advanced and powerful warships, are Liangzhou's Yinzhou ships!

In such a magical place, it is perfectly normal to have a medical team capable of controlling the Plague in a short time.

The reason Peter the Great used the strength of his entire nation to conquer Longyan—

The goal was that Liangzhou Technology Tree!

For this, they could pay any price!

Once they had the Liangzhou Technology Tree, they could rise, rise again! The entire world would be trampled under their feet!

"Controlled..."

Impressive!

At this moment, Ushakov was also rejoicing; fortunately, he had resisted the urge to attack a while ago. The constant reduction of the garrison on the outskirts of Kuye Island was indeed Xiao Qian's baiting strategy!

However, although this doubt was resolved, a new problem arose.

"Since the Plague has already been resolved, why are you like this?"

After Ushakov finished speaking, the Assistant General before him sighed: "Our Plague was controlled, but most of the Liaodong region also saw the Plague appear, and the speed of its spread was unexpected. The medical team said we needed those of us with experience to go to the Northeast Region to support the commoners in fighting the Plague, but the General disagreed and insisted on leading troops to hold Kuye Island to the death!"

"I cannot watch the brothers continue to be exhausted here! The Longyan commoners in the Northeast Region are dying of the Plague, and I cannot just watch Kuye Island become an isolated island without a rear, so he wouldn't listen to my advice, and I had no choice but to kill him."

The Assistant General shouted with a twisted expression.

"Hmm... what? You killed Xiao Qian!?"

Ushakov had just responded when he suddenly realized, and his eyes immediately burst with a sharp glint.

Xiao Qian was killed?

This matter was huge!

"Did you just say that you killed Xiao Qian?"

Ushakov was somewhat incredulous, then asked to confirm.

Xiao Qian had always been a figure who gave him an immense headache!

He said he killed Xiao Qian!

What an incredible thing!

However, this was an Assistant General... what is an Assistant General? Someone who can participate in Xiao Qian's military meetings.

An Assistant General killing Xiao Qian, if one thinks about it carefully, is not truly impossible. It is much more believable than him killing Xiao Qian himself.

"I don't know, I just stabbed him in the chest with a knife, it seemed to have pierced his heart; whether he died or not, I don't know, I had already fled by then."

The Assistant General said indifferently.

It seemed as if he had done a trivial thing.

This attitude made Ushakov feel a trace of admiration for him.

If it really was because of the Plague...

If it really was for the lives of the brothers, if it really was for the life and death of the commoners...

It is understandable for a person to take such action.

Ushakov stroked his beard, staring fixedly at the Assistant General, wanting to see a trace of panic in his eyes.

However, there was none.

The Assistant General's expression of being ready to die, or even feeling relieved, could not be faked.

If that was truly the case, then this battle was secure!

"Assistant General, could you tell me about the defense of Kuye Island? If the Assistant General is willing to help, gold, silver, jewels, beautiful slave girls, I guarantee the Assistant General will have an inexhaustible supply!"

Hearing this, the Assistant General's face immediately turned angry, and he spat: "In your dreams!"

"Even if I killed the General, it was because he completely disregarded the lives of the brothers, completely disregarded the life and death of the commoners! What does that have to do with you man-eating beasts!"

"If you want to break into Longyan, rely on your own abilities!"

"I would rather die than submit!"

After saying this, without waiting for the Russian generals to get angry, the Assistant General had already bitten his own tongue hard.

"No!"

Ushakov's expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.

But it was already too late.

Because the others had no guard against the Assistant General at all.

After all, he had already come here; how could someone who was about to live be determined to die!

Therefore, when the Assistant General bit his tongue to commit suicide, and when blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, it was already too late for everyone to come and stop him.

"This..."

Ushakov, they have all charged over.

But Assistant General Wang, who died with his eyes wide open, already had no breath left.

The entire scene was deathly silent.

"Bastard!"

Ushakov was furious and flustered.

Now that this Assistant General Wang was dead, dying was one thing.

This had left him with a huge problem! Recently pop-ups are severe, please click to download to avoid pop-ups.
