If it is the 21st century, maybe the Far East Company will still estimate the international influence, public opinion and the like, and there is no need to scruple at all in this era, and the Qing State may weigh it again and again when it encounters this kind of thing, considering whether the direct execution of a few Spaniards will provoke the anger of the foreign uncle, and the Far East Company does not matter, standing in the position of the Qing State, whether it is the Americans of the Far East Company or the Spaniards who work for Manila, they are essentially foreigners.
As an old qualified "mercenary", Jimmy does not have any psychological burden to do this kind of thing, in Cuba, including the Spaniards killed by Jimmy's own hands, plus the Spaniards killed by Jimmy's order, the total number has reached three digits, and now the execution of several Spaniards is not any psychological burden for Jimmy.
In fact, there are no human rights at all for intelligence personnel in these years, and even in the whole world, most of the intelligence personnel are dead after being caught, and there is no such thing as "exchange" and "amnesty".
Of course, for the two mercenaries who have not seen blood on their hands, this feeling is not so good, in fact, it can be seen from this ratio that life is worthless in these years, Jimmy did not count how many mercenaries in his platoon killed a total of people, it is certain that many mercenaries must have killed more than one, especially for those senior cowboys, life is like mustard for them, if you meet the same adventurers when adventuring, black eating black is not a special case, Almost every veteran cowboy has to go through this process from unfamiliar to familiar.
"Sir, does it have to be like this?"
said one of the mercenaries.
"It's an order."
Jimmy's answer was crisp and crisp.
"Tom, hurry up, we're all watching."
"Hey boy, don't be like a, you should know what you're going through when you sign up."
"You're not cowardly, I hope you're cowardly, you can't do it if I press ten dollars."
"Tom, if you can't do it, I can help you do it, how about five dollars, it's only five dollars, I'll kill a guy for you."
The mercenaries watching the excitement on the side immediately became noisy, for the mercenaries, this is a rare show, blood and life will not only make the two novices complete the process of becoming veterans, but also make the blood of the mercenaries around them surge.
"Please, please, spare me, I've already said everything I know, I can take out all my money, I can work for you, I'm still valuable" Although José Carlos was blindfolded and didn't know what was happening, José Carlos keenly felt that his situation was not good, and immediately began to beg for mercy.
Jimmy deliberately didn't gagged them, so that there would be better training, killing a person who didn't say a word and killing someone who was begging are two completely different situations, the latter will create more pressure on people, and it will also make people "grow" faster, Jimmy doesn't have many opportunities to waste, always has to make the best use of people.
"Shut up, Tom, Derek, I said, this is an order, it is a task that belongs to you, you can only complete it yourself, I don't want you to be tied up on the battlefield, this is the first lesson for you to join the mercenaries, if you can't do it, you can choose to return to New York, there must be vacant seats on the Greenfield, rest assured, the ticket is still paid by the company."
Jimmy is constantly putting psychological pressure on the side, which is also part of the training, if Tom and Derek can get through it, then they will become a qualified mercenary, if not, Jimmy will not embarrass them, not everyone is comfortable with this profession.
"I can, I can do it, I will be a qualified mercenary" Tom was sweating profusely, the hand holding the gun was trembling slightly, but the muzzle of the gun was slowly rising, he could not hear the coaxing of the other mercenaries, he could not hear the pleading of the Spaniards, nor could he hear Jimmy's reprimand, long before joining the Far East Company, Tom had this awareness, but he did not expect that the decision would be so difficult when the matter came.
Compared with Tom, Derek performed better, and before Tom could make up his mind, Derek had already checked the bullets in the magazine and was ready for execution: "Sir, my task is the two on the left, right?"
"Yes" Jimmy's voice was cold, just like his expression.
Damn war, it simply annihilates all human nature, feelings are a very luxurious thing for mercenaries, if he can, Jimmy is not willing to force Tom and Derek on this path, but Jimmy has no choice, like most people, Jimmy can only convince himself that this is just work, this is just work, just work "Sorry bro, I had to do this" Some people are born into this industry, or human nature is evil, Derek didn't hesitate too much, and after getting Jimmy's confirmation, Derek firmly raised his gun and aimed it at the guy on the ground who was already paralyzed.
Woohoo In the narrow space, the sharp gunshots were particularly piercing, and the mercenaries who were watching the excitement next to them suddenly scolded: "Damn it, Derek, you didn't hesitate at all, you guy was born a murderer." ” "Damn, Derek, you made me lose money."
"Can't you stay away, my blood is all on me."
For a moment, the ugliest side of human nature was revealed, and the mercenaries had no pity for the two headshots on the ground, only caring about the blood staining their newly issued uniforms, for them, the value of life was not as valuable as their own uniforms, although the fresh blood stains were easy to wash away.
Derek's gunfire startled Tom, his nose smelled a strong smell of blood, and in front of him were two bloody corpses, Tom suddenly felt a wave of nausea, he couldn't even hold the gun in his hand, and staggered to the corner of the wall is a burst of retching.
"Sir, I don't think Tom will be able to complete his task, or I'll do it in Tom's place."
Derek actually had the heart to help, when he shot just now, he was only one step away from the two deceased, and a few drops of blood splattered from the deceased's wound splashed on Derek's face, Derek didn't seem to feel it at all, and gave Jimmy a slightly hideous smile, which made Derek look like a devil.
"No, it's Tom's task, and it must be done by Tom himself, unless he gives up."
Jimmy sighed inwardly, another "war hyena" was born, and Jimmy couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, not happiness, not hatred, more indifference and numbness.
Even if he doesn't force him, someone like Derek will take this step sooner or later That's all Jimmy can do to comfort himself.
"No, I'll do it myself, please wait, I can do it."
Tom, who was retching, was reluctant to give up, in fact, he vomited out, and he felt much better, Tom was unwilling to return to New York like this, even if he went back, what would he do?
Jimmy didn't urge, he stood silently and waited silently, in fact, everyone has no choice, everyone wants to be a good person, but unfortunately not everyone will have the opportunity to be a good person, since there must be some people who will fall into the darkness, then, let's start with me.
He vomited for a long time, and Tom felt that he could even vomit his bile, and Tom staggered back.
Wipe the corners of his mouth covered with filth, bend down and pick up the pistol that just fell to the ground, although his body is shaky, Tom is back in the position he was in just now.
"Goodbye" Bang "Goodbye" Bang Tom did it, one shot at a time, and looking at the corpse that was still twitching on the ground, Tom suddenly collapsed to the ground and cried.
Jimmy didn't comfort Tom, and he couldn't comfort him at all, Jimmy still remembers that after killing a Spanish servant in Cuba with his own hands, Jimmy didn't sleep all night that night, he couldn't sleep at all, as soon as he closed his eyes, the scene of the servant being shot and falling to the ground would appear in Jimmy's mind again and again, Jimmy remembered very well that the servant was no more than twenty years old, almost the same age as Jimmy at that time.
"Robin, clean up this place, move the boat away while you dispose of the corpses, go to the logistics office and see if we can get some wine back, we're going to celebrate Tom and Derek in the evening, and welcome them to really join our team."
Jimmy didn't want to stay here any longer, the smell of blood in the house was getting stronger, the air felt like it was getting sticky, and Jimmy felt like he was going crazy if he stayed here any longer.
"Yes, sir."
Robin's voice hardly changed, as a sergeant major, Robin has also seen this kind of scene a lot, Robin doesn't even have a sad mood, this is life, the life of a mercenary.
Just as Jimmy walked out of the room, Steven had just arrived at General Purtan's mansion.
Unlike all the buildings Steven has seen before, the Pu Tian General's Mansion is very symmetrical, entering the General's Mansion from the gate located on the central axis, the buildings on both sides of the road are exactly the same, even the shape of the flowers and plants are exactly the same, this kind of construction, Steven has only vaguely seen it on Governor's Island, but Governor's Island is not absolutely symmetrical, it should be said that this is the first time Steven has come into contact with the original Chinese architecture.
"Old friend, we've just been separated for two hours, and I hope you bring me good news."
Bai Qi was reviewing the official document behind his desk, and when he saw Steven coming in, Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh when he got up, but when he saw Steven's expression, Bai Qi immediately had a headache.

That's right, I've confirmed the eyes, and it's bad news.
That's right, it's really bad news, knowing that someone is spying on the makeshift camp, and everyone has stolen money, Bai Qi can't hide his surprise.
"It's impossible, we have kept the news of your coming tightly sealed, except for a limited number of people, no one else knows the nature of your Far East Company, let alone surveillance, unless Manila sends people to keep an eye on the Ryukyus 24 hours a day, it is absolutely impossible."
Bai Qi swore that on his own one-third of an acre of land, Bai Qi had enough confidence.
Of course, this kind of confidence is limited to the Chinese and some Ryukyuan people, Bai Qi can be sure that the Chinese will not be bought by the Spanish, but there is no guarantee that the Ryukyuan people are as determined as the Chinese, after all, the Ryukyu have open ports, and the capital also has embassies and consulates of many countries, unfortunately, Spain is also one of them, and not long after the Ryukyus defeated Japan, Spain and the Ryukyus established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level.
"In fact, that's it, the Spaniards are everywhere, they buy merchants, embassy and consulate staff, and maybe even Ryukyu natives, today is just the first batch of intelligence officers captured, and there will be more to come, so we have to prepare in advance, otherwise we will find us a relatively closed island."
Steven's request is quite a lot, staying on the Ryukyu side, it is indeed a lot of people, relatively speaking, a closed island is more conducive to hiding secrets, Steven knows that in fact, Manila has now known that there are mercenaries arriving in the Ryukyus, but it is estimated that he does not know more information, which is just conducive to Steven's use of the topic.
"Friend, an independent island is impossible, and I don't have an independent island in my hands now, but I will try my best to cooperate with you, around your camp, I can set aside a military restricted area, in fact, I still hope that you can go to Luzon as soon as possible."
Bai Qi is not embarrassed in the slightest, don't look at Bai Qi's high position now, but he can't interfere with Spanish intelligence officers.
"Of course I want to leave as soon as I can, but certainly not now, I also have to accept the chairman's orders, by the way, I remember, the chairman has a private island here, right?"
Steven didn't accept Bai Qi's answer, don't look at Steven's military rank is not as high as Bai Qi, but they are all the same in essence, they are all employees of Li Mu.
Regarding private islands, of course, Li Mu also has them in the Far East, Shikoku Island is the largest one, and in the Ryukyus, Li Mu also has many private islands, but these islands are not suitable for Steven and them to use, after all, in these years, many islands have limited development because they have no permanent population, and the islands do not even have the most basic living facilities, and it is unrealistic to expect mercenaries to build living facilities.
"If you want to go to Shikoku, of course, it's fine, but you can't get full authorization on Shikoku, and I've seen your training plan, and there are a few projects that are not suitable for Shikoku."
Bai Qi didn't deliberately create problems, in fact, just like Bai Qi said, Shikoku Island is also not suitable for accepting mercenaries, after all, it is Li Mu's private property, and Li Mu is not noble enough to do this.
"So what to do, we have to start training as soon as possible, you know, there is not much time for us in China."
Steven knew there would be a lot of trouble, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly
