Chapter 1767 Skin Change
"We are a neutral and friendly business team. Currently, due to the serious humanitarian crisis in some areas, we are entrusted by the Eastern Red Cross to carry out commercial operations in the name of the Redemption Church while providing a certain degree of humanitarian relief."
The first thing is to clarify your goals.
Lu Ping'an, or the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce, sent out a formal notice to all surrounding forces and countries.
I don't want to act anymore. I'm here to do charity work. Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, this is essentially what I mean.
Was it useful? If yes.
These days, there are so many anti-human things done under the banner of salvation, humanity and human rights that even the originally positive words "humanity" and "human rights" have a strange flavor.
But the same thing still depends on who says it.
These are words spoken by some Western countries, and no one would believe them. Some might even think that this is a sign of action against you. But Lu Ping'an is an Easterner after all, and the Church of Redemption is one of the orthodox churches that has just been recognized by the Eastern government. In a sense, it represents the reputation and intentions of the Eastern country.
When judging a person or a country, you don’t need to look at what they say, but what they do, or at least what they did in the past.
In the past, Dongguo's style of doing things was a rare one, where one's words and actions were consistent. This might seem stupid to some people, but in the eyes of victims who had experienced deception and threats, "honest man" was the most trustworthy label.
"The hostility should be less."
Lu Ping'an estimated that this kind of declaration would at most make others give you a little more patience and see what you do before responding accordingly.
Most forces probably won't care at all, just like how could the pirates let go of the prey in front of them, and how could the bloodthirsty warlords let go of the property and population in front of them.
“It’s enough for the two countries to know about it.”
The only thing that really makes Lu Ping'an feel afraid is the regular army at the national level. It's not that he can't defeat them, but after the fight starts, he probably won't have to do anything.
The army has always been a machine of violence, representing the interests and will of the rear. On the one hand, Lu Ping'an did not want to stir up a diplomatic incident at the national level. If the East Country really issued a transfer order to recall him, it would be troublesome. On the other hand, if Lu Ping'an was really regarded by those two countries as a threat to their ambitions, the battle would escalate into a war, and the killing would last for a long time.
Waving the banner of rescue and public welfare should help you avoid some trouble in the early stages. At least, these two countries will watch what you are really doing. If you are really here to rescue people and do public welfare, even if they target you, they will not do it openly, which will reduce a lot of threats.
Of course, this is not only a good thing, but also a kind of self-limitation. Once you cross the line, you will destroy your own reputation, and no one will believe what you say.
It is this "restriction" that gives Lu Ping'an's declaration more credibility.
Lu Ping'an is not afraid of trouble, but he really doesn't want to waste time and resources with the other side and throw his warriors into a meaningless civil war among the same tribe.
Those cannibals and human traffickers? In Lu Ping'an's eyes, when they no longer treat others as human, they themselves have become inhuman.
"Everyone, prepare to kill."
Although he kept shouting "salvation" and "humanitarianism", Lu Ping'an knew better than anyone that if he wanted to talk about morality with certain people, he must first demonstrate the ability to wipe out the other person.
If it were just his subordinates, those veterans who could transform from a merchant group to a legion at any time, Lu Ping'an would not even need to say such things publicly within the group.
Veterans returning from the battlefield have no habit of underestimating their opponents and will show no mercy once they strike.
"On the battlefield, your opponents will not let you go just because you are young. They will only be happy about your opponents' immaturity. If you still hesitate, it is tantamount to seeking death."
It was a small accident that Lu Ping'an had to deal with personally.
Because the original plan has been changed, some people may have to face an escalation in the battlefield, but they are not ready.
"If you were a strong person, you might die at the hands of a weak person, but the fact is, you are the weak one."
For those college students from Guda and the elite newcomers from Gucheng, who are taking this opportunity to gain experience, it might be too exciting for them to go to the battlefield now.
Lu Ping'an gave them the option to continue their training in the camp or on the boat, or simply go into the courtyard to ensure safety. If they still chose to go into battle, they had to be prepared to die in battle.
But judging from the results, Lu Ping'an's advice instead gave them a boost. It is normal for young people to be ignorant of the immensity of the world.
Lu Ping'an shook his head and said nothing more. It was useless to say anything.
"When the time comes, keep an eye on them."
Lu Ping'an asked Maomao and the others to keep an eye on the baby. After a couple of fights and some blood, they would know everything.
At that time, anyone who quits will be thrown out of the courtyard.
In Lu Ping'an's team, the middle and senior management are all veterans in plane exploration. There is no need to say much when they go from one battlefield to another.
However, the Sakurajima people and the mercenaries they hired became very nervous.
"This is different from what we said before. Let's terminate the contract."
"We can continue but please pay more!"
In order to be able to steadily establish their territory, the Sakurajima people recruited many strong men and mercenaries.
However, they originally thought that they would only face a local melee. The intervention of the regular armies of the two countries was already news that could no longer be covered up, and these mercenaries naturally had new ideas.
Just quit? Then I'm afraid I really don't need to do this job anymore.
They were just taking the opportunity to raise the price. Looking at those noisy mercenaries, Lu Ping'an was too lazy to interfere.
The people who are truly trustworthy are always your own people.
"How's the preparation for the new uniform going?"
"Time is running out and we'll prioritize the logistics staff first. The others can just make do with the holy emblem."
The white and red uniforms were distributed. Even if the factories in the courtyard worked overtime like crazy, it would still take some time to produce this "uniform" with certain protective functions.
"From now on, we are all subordinate to the Church of Redemption, and members of the Life Preservation Corps." The new staffing structure has not yet been finalized. Except for Lu Ping'an who appoints himself as the captain, everyone else is a member.
Since we are using the banner of public welfare and humanity, Lu Ping'an will naturally put on a new "skin". Look at this uniform, we are here to save people. If you attack us again, it would be unkind and you will be killed!
Perhaps the reason why the Red Cross was so conspicuous back then was because of its high recognition.
The organization of the "war group" explains it all. It is still a war organization, but its purpose is to save.
Lu Ping'an himself rarely wore a white and red uniform. After he did so, most of the cadres who had originally been noncommittal immediately followed suit.
Various "Hand of Rescue" emblems were also painted on the ships. The Hand of Rescue under the Cross was the holy emblem of this "temporary organization" that was destined to go down in history.
In order to complete the "changing of skins" in all aspects before the intervention, the ship even stayed on the high seas for two days.
Lu Ping'an himself was also extremely busy, busy compiling the code of conduct for this new regiment.
Once again, he had to pay the price for his sudden impulse.
"Let history prove our choice." This time the game was too big, even Lu Ping'an himself was a little unsure.
Looking at the busy crowd and the people in white who were training hard, Lu Ping'an smiled with satisfaction.
"At least, I'm no longer alone."
