Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 516 Zero casualties is the best!

For a long time, Ximen Lang, or rather, the later generations represented by Ximen Lang, gave Hao Pingchuan this feeling.

That is, both hard and soft!
Does it seem a bit contradictory, or even a bit abstract?

It's alright, I'll explain it to you and you'll understand.

hard.

Of course, this refers to the strength of later generations!

All kinds of hardware, whether it's weaponry or science and technology, are anything but ordinary!
They hold the ultimate weapon of the entire industry chain, making them incredibly powerful and unrivaled!
While the hardware is very robust, the attitude gives people a somewhat soft impression.

They lacked any of the heroic spirit of the mighty Han and Tang dynasties, which dominated the world.

This greatly displeased Hao Pingchuan.

"It's not that you lack resources. If it were us, if we had your strength, we would have beaten all those bastards to a pulp long ago! But what about you? You dare to provoke us even from a small country like Zoer. Isn't that just being weak?"

What's the key?
The key point is that later generations have proven themselves strong; they have risen to prominence before!
Back then, they were just as tough as us!

He conquered the world with just a brick, never submitting to anyone, and taking on anyone who dared to challenge him!
Everyone who dared to stand out or cause trouble was beaten up one by one!

But what about now?
"What do I feel? I feel that you guys have way too many concerns. You're not carefree or easygoing at all!"

In short, one sentence
“You’re not those barefoot, mud-legged kids anymore. You’re wearing shoes now, and they’re super expensive designer shoes. If you accidentally get a speck of mud on them, you’ll be heartbroken for ages. You’ve lost that carefree spirit you had when you were barefoot!”

Indeed, especially after people in later generations started wearing suits and ties, and their homes were filled with bottles and jars.

They are afraid of accidentally getting their clothes dirty or breaking bottles and jars at home. The richer they are, the more timid they become, and the more powerful they are, the kinder they are.

He could easily subdue the surrounding small countries with a flick of his finger, or even conquer them, excavate their history books, and claim it has been so since ancient times.

But by tolerating and giving in, these guys have become increasingly arrogant and overbearing!

"What else is this but softness, tell me? So, saying you're both hard and soft is absolutely true! It's incredibly apt! It's even a bit pathetic."

"Who?! Me? We're useless?!"

This is absolutely the most hurtful and insulting accusation that Ximen Lang has heard in recent years!

Even if you pointed your finger at him and cursed him, it wouldn't have made Ximen Lang so unbearable.

Just like his tail had been stepped on, Ximen Lang jumped up in anger.

"Nonsense! Our army is invincible! With the advent of sixth-generation fighter jets, we also dominate the skies, far ahead of the competition, crushing all the weaklings! Our navy, while relatively weaker with only a few aircraft carriers, still firmly holds second place! Even our coast guard, using leftover equipment from the navy, has made it into the world's top ten, not much worse than the navies of established powers! With this configuration, everyone would give us a thumbs up and say 'awesome!' And yet you say we're weak?"

Upon seeing Ximen Lang, he immediately began to angrily and distort the facts.

The angrier he gets, the more it proves that he's right!

Hao Pingchuan quickly corrected him. "Brother Lang, I never said your hardware was weak. I always said your hardware was extremely strong! I was talking about attitude, like those arrogant little countries like the Tsar. Why waste words with them? Just fight them! They're already being so arrogant, what good is it to just talk?"

This is really useless.

Especially for those scumbags who won't shed a tear until they see the coffin and won't turn back until they hit a brick wall!
If we don't directly inflict pain on them and subdue them, given their arrogant and ignorant nature, they really won't understand human language!

In fact, even Ximen Lang himself felt that the later generations had been a bit too lenient and had been too indulgent towards these bastards!

However, on one point, his view is consistent with that of later generations.

That is.
"I'm decked out in designer brands, and I have so many bottles and jars at home. What if I break them? What if I get them dirty? Look at what I'm wearing today, it's all so fancy! How am I supposed to hit anything? What if I break it? Even if I just wrinkle it, I'll still be heartbroken!"

In just a few words, Ximen Lang's attitude and that of later generations were fully revealed.

Hao Pingchuan exchanged a glance with Bai Ling, who was watching from the side and rolling her eyes, and shook his head.

"That's exactly it, that's exactly it. With so many concerns and worries, how can you possibly forge ahead? Unlike us, we're barefoot and fearless. If they disagree, we'll fight them until they submit! Isn't that much more satisfying!"

"It felt good, but..."

Ximen Lang was extremely conflicted upon hearing this and could only reply dejectedly.

"I'll wait until the day you all wear suits, ties, and designer shoes. When that day comes, with a house full of bottles and jars, let's see if you still dare to say that, and if you'll be willing to use your Air Jordans to step on those stinking beggars!"

Hao Pingchuan burst into laughter at his frustrated expression.

Even Bai Ling couldn't help but laugh.

"Still so bold, still so fearless," Hao Pingchuan continued.

"I don't know what will happen in the future. But right now, we absolutely have no shortage of courage to fight to the death! The stronger our soldiers and horses, the more courageous we will be! Just you wait and see, sooner or later we will take it back and then hang the bald guy up and beat him! This time will not be long at all!"

"So, I really think that if it doesn't work out, then let's just bring Yu Zecheng and the others back! They've worked hard for us for half their lives, and it's time for them to come back and enjoy a few days of peace and quiet! Perfect, they have wives, kids, and warm beds ready for them, how wonderful is that!"

It's definitely a good thing; I believe this is exactly what Yu Zecheng and his team dream of.

But the problem is
“That’s definitely unrealistic. We’ve invested so much manpower and resources, and they’ve worked hard for most of their lives to finally get to where they are today. How can they just give it all up like that? They themselves wouldn’t be willing to accept that.”

"Yeah, that's unlikely. So, what a pity!"

Just as Ximen Lang and his two companions were lamenting the matter, Lao Luo, who had learned about Gao Cheng's battle plan in detail, was holding the various objectives that Gao Cheng had given them for this battle.

After being speechless and choked with emotion for a long time, I finally managed to process the result.

With a bitter expression, he asked Gao Cheng.

"Gao Cheng, although I don't doubt that you will win this battle, one of you for 100 of ours, preferably with zero casualties! Aren't you being a little too arrogant?"
