Uncle B of the pirate is invincible

Chapter 57 The Colonel's 'Past'
"It's strange that I would say such a thing!" The colonel knew that what he said was a bit too exciting for the young man.

Burt nodded subconsciously, the colonel smiled, and continued to say calmly: "Hey, in terms of casualties, the navy under my command suffered heavy casualties today, according to your logic, I am the one who should really regret it. But to be honest, although I feel sorry for the soldiers and officers who died, I have no regrets, frustration, or self-blame. Because Hank gave the leadership, the Bloodanchor Pirates were destroyed, Rogue Town was safe and sound, and the justice of the navy was declared , the pirate arrogance instigated by Roger was hit hard after today's battle, at least in the East China Sea. So I can proudly say that I have won, and the navy has won."

"This is saying that I only want results, not casualties!" Burt really didn't know that Colonel Byrne was such a person.

"It's cruel. But this is the truth of this sea!" The colonel suddenly showed a resolute face to Bert, and his tone of speech was even more irrefutable, "This sea is full of villains who want to do whatever they want. It will easily take away everything from the weak! Whether it is friends, lovers, or life. To fight against these villains, you must have enough strength and strong will. It is also impossible for an officer to issue combat orders. If you want to bear the word of justice, you must have the determination to do whatever it takes. No matter what the price is!"

The colonel's words had a huge impact on Bert.For him who came from the age of the information explosion, arguments such as the colonel often appear in novels and various film and television works, and it is not new to be honest.Burt himself often talks to book friend Hai about not being kind, about killing decisively, disliking the protagonist for being too soft, etc., but when those bloody casualties are happening right in front of his eyes, and if he himself does not have Caleb When the bottom is also one of the numbers, he really can't agree with the colonel's words anyway, even if his reason tells Bert that this is a very correct 'reason'.

Sensibility made Bert want to refute, but rationality and the "future" he had seen before told him that the colonel was right; language.

"There should be nothing wrong with this young man!" Unlike Bert's entanglement, Colonel Byrne felt very relaxed now, because after listening to Bert's emotional changes after what he just said, he was sure that the other party was an ordinary person. Young people with the same moral conscience understand the 'reasons' in their hearts, but they are far from being able to accept these 'reasons'.

It turned out that Colonel Byrne's speech just now was not only his sincere words, but also another test for Bert.The colonel, who can't find anything wrong with Burt for the time being, has focused his mind on Bert's character. If Burt accepts his correct point of view without hesitation, then at the age of 17, he will be very Dangerous.Either there is something wrong with his background, or he is naturally cold-blooded.And no matter which one, for the colonel, it is necessary to guard against this powerful guy.He was very satisfied with Burt's reaction in the end, and he had basically concluded that this is an excellent young man with a conscience and outstanding talent.

"It's still a bit naive, but it's just such a young man with a bottom line and strength who can shoulder the future of the navy. Alas, the guy in the navy who is so ruthless that I can't stand it is already unstoppable. He should be a general. It's just a matter of time. Now there is Kuzan who can contain him, but there are not a few people who are influenced by him. It is really worrying where the future navy will go. If we can push more powerful young people like the one in front of us To a higher position, I believe it will play a key role in the future." Colonel Byrne had been one of his subordinates for a while, but now he has become a major general. I heard that he will be promoted to lieutenant general soon. The navy, which is also like a monster, has worries from the heart.Now that the doubts about Bert have been basically resolved, the idea of ​​supporting Bert came into being, which can not only provide the navy with precious talents, but also leave hope for the future that even he himself has only a vague premonition and is not sure.

After the colonel finished speaking, Bert and the colonel each fell into their own thoughts, the scene quieted down, and the atmosphere gradually became a little weird. Bert, who was first infected, let go of the entanglement in his heart, and thought a little drumming in his heart: " Doesn’t the Colonel think that I am a person with different ideas from his, and you want to show me a little bit? Judging from the deeds I heard, this person should be a person with similar ideas to Akainu, and he can’t bear sand in his eyes.”

Just when Bert felt that he might be punished extremely severely, Colonel Byrne suddenly asked Bert in a sighing tone: "Burt, do you know the Admiral?" Before Bert could answer, the colonel asked himself. : "Of course you will know. As a navy, there is no one who doesn't know this. After all, it is second only to the marshal and stands at the apex of a million-dollar navy."

Burt didn't know what to say. Judging from the content, he felt that what the colonel said was nonsense, but judging from the tone, he felt a sense of helplessness and melancholy.

Fortunately, the colonel didn't want him to answer the conversation, and continued to say, "I have been in the navy for 25 years, and I have been in the Great Airline for 22 years. But I still clearly remember the day when I joined the army. It was a very hot summer. , we recruits were given a severe blow by the recruit instructor, and we stood under the scorching sun at noon for a full 4 hours, and half of the recruits suffered from heat stroke that time." Speaking of this, the colonel showed a look of reminiscence, There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I said that your way of standing is so severe, so you are also a victim yourself." Hearing this, Burt thought of his disqualification two months ago.

The colonel didn't know Bert's little thoughts, he continued to recall with a little pride: "I am the half that is still standing." Then, he sighed again, "Oh, now that I think about it, it seems like it happened yesterday. !"

"Do you know? After seeing that the number of people is almost the same, the instructor asked us recruits who are still standing to use all our strength to express our purpose as a navy. The voice must be loud and satisfying. You have to keep talking until you fall down. As a result, starting from the first person, for a full 5 hours, none of the people satisfied him, and even some recruits were wailed by him like this, but in the end they all shouted He was hoarse and fell down with a hoarse voice."

"It's so bad!" Burt couldn't help but sweat secretly. This unknown recruit instructor was much more ruthless than the colonel, obviously trying to bring everyone down.

As if guessing what Bert was thinking, the colonel said almost at the same time as he was thinking: "It's bad, isn't it!" Without waiting for Bert to answer, he continued: "I was full of anger at the time, and felt that this kind of instructor who bullied recruits was really It's too bad, so I thought that I must become a general in the future and transfer him to guard the toilet!"

Burt frowned when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Why does this bridge sound familiar!"

"At first I wanted to forget it, but I was so angry at that time that when it was my turn to speak, I yelled at the recruit instructor directly, 'I want to be an admiral of the navy!' Hehehe, in fact, I just felt that the officer I joined the navy because my suit and cloak are very handsome." The colonel laughed as he spoke, as if he had completely immersed himself in his memories.

"Inexplicably reminds me of a certain straw hat, a certain Seventh Generation!" Burt's heart is full of the sense of sight of the protagonist of the anime for the colonel's story.

"Thinking about it now, my behavior at that time was so naive and naive that people laughed out loud. I repeated 'I want to be an admiral!' over and over again louder and louder to the disgusting instructor until I was completely speechless. I was so tired that I passed out." The colonel's tone was full of self-deprecation, but when he said this, his tone changed, and he said in a deep voice: "But that recruit instructor never laughed once, he just looked at me viciously, and kept talking to me. Say 'louder, out of hearing' until I pass out."

"Hey hey hey, he's trying to motivate you! Why are you becoming more and more like the protagonist of the hot-blooded comics?" Burt used his reputation as a senior manga fan and a certain website to guarantee that when the colonel encountered this seemingly vicious man, In fact, he is a super warm-hearted recruit instructor, and he is definitely the one who affects the fate of the hero in the hot-blooded comics and novels.

"I don't know what happened. After this time, I trained desperately. No matter how hard the course set by the instructor was, no matter how hard it was, I just didn't want to give up, and I didn't want to make him proud. I gritted my teeth and did it all. Even now, every time I think about it, I still feel incredible that I can do such amazing things. When the recruit training is over, I have completely changed, both in body and mind, and I am not the same as the naughty boy who just joined the navy on a whim .”

"The wheel of fortune is starting to turn!" Burt was really infected this time. The colonel's tone was very sincere, and people could feel his growth unconsciously. As he returned to the passionate place youth.

"It was a long time later that I suddenly realized that I had unknowingly regarded becoming an admiral as my goal, and I have been working hard towards this goal. I trained hard, fought bravely, got the opportunity to study in the great sea route, and became a second lieutenant , follow the rank of general officer, become a colonel, and until that day, I have been fully confident in striding forward towards the goal of a general." The colonel talked about his growth experience with pride, although it was just a passing , but that pride still made Burt's eyes shine and his blood boil.

"Marshal Kong's experience is indeed a model of inspiration, even such a cautious person in front of him has been incited!" The colonel who showed his fox tail nodded secretly.
