Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Nicholas scratched his head, "I didn't think much about it. I just think that the duty of a soldier is to fight. The other matters are not something we should consider!"

"Gold is good, but is earning money a soldier's duty? No! Isn't earning money the right thing for merchants and tax officials to do? and farmers and craftsmen can make money too... "

"Ah, this man, as long as you do your job well. My brain can't fool around with too many things. Since I'm a soldier, my heart only has one thought — to fight! "Winning the enemy is everything to me …"

"Carrying 10 kilograms of gold in battle? Isn't this a joke! Not to mention fighting, even if he had such a heavy weapon on his back, he would still be exhausted. If he were to encounter an enemy, would he still have the strength to fight back? "Let alone the fact that everyone has been tired all night …"

The Great Dao was simple! This was what Akson had heard from the mouth of a teacher in the family, this was a famous saying amongst the philosophers in Ancient China.

True principles were always simple, not complicated at all. The right choice was always right in front of people. Nicholas' emotions were simple and didn't have too many desires, but he was able to grasp the heart of the problem.

Weren't soldiers supposed to fight? It's enough to fight your war, is there any other thing you need to worry about? You have to worry about diplomacy, empire finance, and the geopolitics and distribution of interests in East Asia.

What do you need diplomats for? What do I need the Minister of Finance for? What do I need the Imperial Bank for?

Akson let out a long sigh. He finally understood what their mistake was this time.

Ever since the news of the Hidden Gold Island was sent to the Expeditionary forces general's ears, everyone's heart had been thrown into chaos.

They had to worry about the Empire's financial crisis, so they had to sneak attack the Belait to attack it. The Tsar had to show off his muscles in Asia, so the fleet had to rush to the Minjiang Estuary to show off their might.

Akson wanted to slap himself twice. Does the empire's financial crisis have anything to do with soldiers? Who gave you the order to settle the empire's finances?

If His Majesty wanted to demonstrate his influence in Asia, naturally there would be diplomats who would negotiate with him. Would he need the entire fleet to graze the muscles along the coastline of the Great Qing?

All these were very good, her beautiful muscles had reached the Minjiang Estuary, but she was beaten up by the Zhiyuan Warship and the new army, wanting to become rich. In the end, the entire army fell into a trap set up by the Chinese.

The root of everything was in Nicholas's simple words: "Do your job, and don't think about it!"

The simple truth was that this was the golden key to solving all the problems. However, an ordinary low-level officer would understand, but these high-ranking military officers were all confused.

If there was any medicine for regret in the world to eat, Akson would be willing to go bankrupt to eat one, but how could he sell one!

"Nicholas... If we succeed in breaking through this time, you can just work with me in the future! I've transferred you to my side, are you willing? "

Nicholas scratched his head again. "Aiya …" Aiya … I still said, I'm just a soldier, do your job. Isn't the duty of a soldier just to obey? What can I say when you say you came to order me? "

Looking at Nicolas' honest look, Akson wanted to slap himself in the face. He thought to himself, "My heart is in chaos, my heart is in chaos, why are you always talking nonsense, why are you always saying unskilled stuff!"

On the mountain path, Akson, under the protection of numerous guard company soldiers, quickly arrived at the first ring-shaped formation ground where the first attack was launched. In the original minefield, a regiment of troops was already prepared to set off, waiting for Akson to set off immediately.

At this moment, the sounds of gunfire and battle coming from the east were getting closer and closer. People didn't even need to look through their binoculars to see the thick smoke from the explosion coming from the direction of the Spirit House.

"Set off, all troops! Inside the family home! The assault on the enemy's artillery barrack held up the Chinese attack to buy time for the retreat of the main force... "Let's go!"

With the order given, the entire army began to run. The heavy backpacks of the soldiers were filled with ammunition and supplies, as well as the 10 kg gold ingot.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on. After running for more than 20 minutes, there were soldiers who retreated to the side of the road due to sprain. At this time, no medical soldier bothered with them, so these outdated soldiers could only wait to gather with the next group to go down the mountain.

After a bloody night of fighting, the soldiers' stamina had been completely used up. All the soldiers were as tired as dogs, and no matter how strong the Northern War Bear was, it was still a human being and not a machine.

Moreover, these people were carrying a burden of ten kilograms, which further increased their stamina consumption.

sprained, exhausted, dehydrated, unconscious... With a team of 1500 people, it only took them 40 minutes to fall behind.

"What should we do? What should he do? "Nicholas..." Akson roared as he called Nicholas to his side, "Bring guard company to the surroundings and quickly search. Amami Oshima is the most important area to produce sugar and rum, if only you could find some sugar or wine …"

"If we can't find some sugar cane fields, we'll have to get the soldiers to replenish some of their strength. Otherwise, they'll all die of exhaustion …"

"Yes!" Sir... "guard company, send half of your troops to search the area …"

Nicholas led more than fifty soldiers with him and flew into the dense forest as if they were searching for something. Now, Akson could only rely on Nicholas as they were the only ones who could be considered to be travelling in light clothes.

But Akson had underestimated the degree of viciousness Xiao Letian had in his plans, how could these Chinese soldier let go of these exhausted soldiers? Not long after Nicholas entered the dense forest, he heard a burst of gunfire from the forest, mixed with the explosive sounds of hand grenades.

After a while, Nicholas retreated with his face covered in dust. "Ambush!" There were Chinese sharpshooters wandering in the jungle! They're like ghosts, we can't get past them … "

While speaking, a series of gunshots rang out, causing the four soldiers in front of Akson to explode their heads, the top of their heads were flipped over, and white brain matter sprayed everywhere.

"Counterattack!" "Hurry up and counterattack …" The frightened soldiers blindly opened fire on the jungle, but the enemy's counterattack in the dark was useless.

Akson felt a chill down his spine and over his head. Attack with all forces, don't get entangled with the enemy! They just want to drag us down when we're tired! "
