Galactic Almighty Evolution Chapter 216: Pushing

"Come on! Have a drink first." Lieutenant General Cohen poured Qin Hao a glass of red wine. After all, it was during the war, even if he had privileges, he didn't drink any strong alcohol.

"Hmm!" Qin Hao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go...

"..." After drinking this glass of red wine, Qin Hao frowned. To be honest, the taste of this dry red was far not as good as he thought. He didn't taste the mellow, but the sour taste made He had difficulty swallowing.

"Haha, silly boy, haven't you ever had red wine?" Lieutenant General Cohen laughed immediately when he saw Qin Hao drinking like this.

"Never drank alcohol..." Qin Hao said embarrassedly. His grandfather used to be strict and he never had a chance to drink. After his grandfather left, he entered a stressful high school life, and he had no chance to try. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the army, and even a big soldier in the army couldn't touch alcohol, so Qin Hao really hadn't tried this kind of drink.

"If this red wine is drunk to you like this, even the best wine will taste like horse urine!" Lieutenant General Cohen poured himself a glass as he said, and then he shook the glass to make the vermilion liquid Full contact with the air, the aroma of wine diffused, and then he took a sip, and then said to Qin Hao: "Try it."

"Oh!" Qin Hao poured himself a little as Lieutenant General Cohen, then shook the glass, and took another sip.

After the liquor is fully fused and oxidized with the air, the taste is indeed better than before, and you can really feel the mellow aroma and sweetness after a small bite, but Qin Hao still doesn’t like the taste. The astringency made him dislike this drink.

"Okay, let's talk about your confusion." Lieutenant General Cohen asked Qin Hao after two more cups. With a few sips of wine, the conversation between men became more open.

"General, I may not be suitable for the role of commander. If I can be more cautious, those soldiers will not die. I killed them..." Qin Hao shared his confusion with Cohen Will say it again.

"Hey! Silly boy, this is a process that a commander must go through!" Lieutenant General Cohen sighed, and he couldn't help but recall the first time he was in command that year.

"Are you confused about this too?" Qin Hao asked.

"Of course! I came here in the same way..." Lieutenant General Cohen sighed, and then began to tell Qin Hao the story of the first time he commanded the battle.

It was a small battle. Lieutenant General Cohen’s enemy was a group of rebels. When organizing the offensive, Lieutenant General Cohen didn’t know enough about the enemy, so a legion he commanded fell into the enemy’s In the encirclement, although the enemy forces were wiped out when they finally encircled, the besieged legion suffered heavy losses.

For this, Lieutenant General Cohen was depressed for a long time, and he also felt that the soldiers were killed by him.

Almost every commander with a conscience will face this problem, and Lieutenant General Cohen is no exception. Perhaps only a madman like Gangmen Pianzuo will not care about the casualties of soldiers. In his eyes only merit, only he himself.

"Then how did you get out of that state?" Qin Hao asked.

"Freedom? I have never been free! I don't want to be free!" Lieutenant General Cohen said with a serious face.

"Huh?" Qin Hao looked blank.

"Since that battle, I have fallen into self-blame. At the beginning, I also sought relief like you. My old boss at the time also enlightened me, but then I figured it out. Why should I get rid of this kind of self-blame? It is this kind of self-blame that makes me cherish the lives of the soldiers more, and it is this self-blame that makes me think carefully before issuing every order. I need victory. But under this premise, I also need to reduce the casualties as much as possible!” Lieutenant General Cohen said there was a pause, and then said to Qin Hao: “If I really look away, I won’t do it for the death of the soldier again. And self-blame, what is the difference between me and Gangmen Pianzuo?"

"In order to win, there must be sacrifices. This is true. We really cannot dare not fight because we are afraid of sacrifices. But as a commander, what we have to do is to ensure victory. It is possible to reduce casualties. After all, there is a family behind every soldier. The death of soldiers is only a number for us superiors, but for their families, it is an irreversible disaster. This is not a certificate of honor, a pension can make up for it!" Lieutenant General Cohen said here is already bursting into tears, he has fought countless battles in his life, even if he loves soldiers as a child, but died in the battle. Soldiers are already an astronomical number, so every time after victory, when others are cheering, he will take wine alone to pay tribute to the dead comrades...

"This..." Qin Hao heard Lieutenant General Cohen's words as if he was empowered by Daigo. He suddenly understood a lot of things. The dozens of soldiers were indeed killed because of the landing battle he directed. , It was he who killed these fighters, and Qin Hao’s conscience was indeed condemned for this, but he understood at this time that even if his heart might be tortured for this, he could not stay away because of the fear of the torment. action.

Qin Hao is no stranger to death. He also commanded battles before, but he personally led the charge on the front line at that time. Although the soldiers around him had casualties, he also risked the same. There is no time to take care of everyone, so he has a clear conscience; but this time, Qin Hao is commanding the battle safely from the rear, so he will suffer.

Although the frontline field commander and the rear strategic commander are both commanders, they feel completely different when facing the death of soldiers. When his comrades died, they would feel heartache, but he, as one of them, experienced the same danger firsthand, so he would not feel that the sacrificed soldier was killed by himself.

Because the rear strategic commanders are in a safe place to direct the battle, they only need to wave their hands and move their mouths, and there will be a large number of soldiers charging for them. When these soldiers are killed, they have not experienced the same It is dangerous, and that danger is caused by their orders, so the feeling that "the soldier was killed by himself" can be felt in my heart.

At this time, after Qin Hao had a conversation with Lieutenant General Cohen, he also gave up the search for liberation. Before giving an order, I think about it for the soldiers at the grassroots level. Although there will be sacrifices in the war, what he has to do is to reduce the sacrifices as much as possible.
