Chapter 170: Kiwaro Village, the Wrath of the Civilians
"You!" Lu Kai suddenly pointed at the nearest lieutenant colonel and asked, "Do you have any family?"
"Replying to Lieutenant General Lu Kai, yes!" the lieutenant colonel suddenly stood at attention and answered.
"Where are they and what do they do?" Lu Kai continued to ask.
"Reporting to the lieutenant general, they are running a small business in a small town on Feltham Island." The lieutenant colonel replied.
"Then let me ask you, if pirates are about to invade the town where your family lives and want to massacre your family, will you save them or not?" Lu Kai looked directly at the lieutenant colonel.
"Help!" the lieutenant colonel answered loudly.
"Rescue? Bullshit! Now Stanway says that due to convention and the high cost of the navy's sailing, it is not worth saving your family, so let them all die. What will you do?" Lu Kai continued to ask.
“I…I…” The lieutenant colonel shuddered all over and stammered, unable to speak. He looked like he was about to cry and didn’t dare to look Lu Kai in the eye.
"What about you? If your family members are in danger, will you choose to save them? Or will you listen to Stanway and let them all die? Think about it before you answer." Lu Kai suddenly turned around and shouted at the other generals.
"Help!" someone answered loudly.
"Rescue? Haha!" Lu Kai sneered and paced back and forth in front of everyone, shouting, "You chose to save your own family members, but when other people's families were in danger, you just sat there and did nothing. Is this your justice?
"You guys are worthy of calling yourself the navy? You guys are worthy of calling yourself justice? You are just a bunch of bastards!"
"And you!" Lu Kai walked to Stanway again, pointed at Stanway still on the ground, and looked down at him, "I heard that someone in your hometown saw a pirate ship passing by last year and was worried about being attacked by pirates. What did you do?
"Stanway, you sent out three warships and two thousand marines to chase these pirates for five days and five nights. Why don't you consider the cost of sailing? Is it really worth it at this time?
"Is the G1 Navy a force that upholds justice, or is it the private army of a bastard like you, Stanway?"
The training room was completely silent at this moment. Some generals lowered their heads in shame, and a few even sobbed quietly because they couldn't control themselves.
"You want to force me to abdicate? What qualifications do you have to force me to abdicate?" Lu Kai continued to glance at the crowd.
“When I was ten years old, I, Lu Kai, could not bear to see the bandits wreaking havoc and robbing the people, so I chose to stand up for the common people and attacked seventeen bandit strongholds in a row.
“At the age of twelve, I went out to sea to chase pirates in order to bring justice to the people who were massacred by pirates.
"In the past two years, I have chased thousands of pirates and helped countless civilians. How dare someone like you, Stanway, question whether I am qualified to be a lieutenant general?
"I got my title of vice admiral through my glorious military exploits in the past few years. Which of the great pirates I have defeated would you, Stanway, dare to face? Which of the common people doesn't praise me highly?
"You, a Stanway type who gained your position as a lieutenant general by accumulating experience and using all sorts of schemes and underhanded means, have the nerve to question me?
"If the Navy is full of scum like you, Stanway, the Navy should just be disbanded. All of you, go home and farm, and wait for the pirates to invade one day. You and your family should die together!"
Lu Kai's roar echoed throughout the training room. No one dared to look up or even glance at him. After a long time, Lu Kai finally asked the naval officers, "Now, I am going to set sail for Kiwaro Village immediately. Is there anyone among you who is willing to go with me?"
"I do!" a lieutenant colonel suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly.
"I do, too!" a major shouted.
"I am willing to do so! For the sake of justice, I have no choice but to do it!" When a major general saw his subordinates expressed their opinions, he immediately expressed his own attitude.
"We'd all like to go!"
After a while, except for Stanway, all the other generals gave their answers. The atmosphere was so tense that they had no choice but to express their opinions.
"Very good. It seems that the justice in your hearts is still there. You haven't completely lost your conscience because of the influence of a few scumbags." Lu Kai's voice suddenly softened a lot, and he said to everyone, "We will deal with other things when we come back. Now, everyone, follow me."
"Yes!" Everyone answered loudly and in unison with great momentum.
Stanway was left on the ground with a pale face, looking completely pale.
"As for you." Lu Kai glanced at Stanway standing aside and said coldly, "I'll deal with you when you come back. Of course, you can also make some trouble while I'm away, and I'll have a reason to take action against you directly.
"After all, for a piece of trash like you, I wish I could kill you with my own hands."
Then Lu Kai ignored Stanway and took the cloak from his personal soldier, put it on, and strode out of the training room with Xiaolong and Fuya.
All the officers who came with Stanway were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed him out. Stanway, who was trembling all over and unable to stand up, was left in the entire training room with no one paying any attention to him.
"Silly brother, so domineering, hahaha! It's so enjoyable." On the way to the warship, Fu Ya covered her mouth and laughed.
Although Xiaolong, who was standing by, didn't know how impressive Lu Kai's performance was, he still felt very satisfied when he saw Stanway not daring to move at all when Lu Kai pointed at his nose and scolded him.
"Sister, please stop making fun of me." Lu Kai immediately turned back into the well-behaved boy. "It was all your idea. Otherwise, how could I have thought of handling it this way?"
"Hahaha!" Fu Ya was in a good mood and burst into laughter after being praised by Lu Kai.
Two days later, Lukai's exclusive warship arrived at Kiwaro Village, which had already become a ruin due to the attack of pirates.
Many villagers were rummaging through the ruins, trying to find something usable from the village that had been looted by pirates.
"Village chief, a naval ship was spotted on the sea." Just when everyone was busy, a young man ran into the village and shouted to the elderly village chief from a distance.
"Navy? Humph, what are they doing here at this time?"
"Assholes, the pirates have been on the run for five days, what good are they doing here now?"
After hearing the young man's shout, many people complained bitterly, and others also stopped what they were doing and gathered at the entrance of the village.
Not long after, Lu Kai also landed on the island with his men and walked towards the villagers.
"Marine, stop." A voice sounded, shouting at Lu Kai and others, "All of you, get out of our village, you are not welcome here."
"Get out, you bastards."
"Didn't you set out seven days ago? Does it take seven days to cover such a short distance?
"That's right. It doesn't take me seven days to swim to G1. Are all your navy members shit eaters? Are your warships all made of paper?"
"Did you hear about the pirates and get scared and don't dare to come? Now our hometown has been destroyed, what are you doing here?"
