They never thought they would hear the word 'homeland' again in this lifetime.
They never expected a foreigner to come here in order to build a new homeland for them!
Li Genhong was going to allow their children to go to school!
To change the futures of their children!
To possibly change everything in this region!
All ten commanders were sniffling as the word 'homeland' continued to echo in their minds.
Homeland!
"I want to turn this place into our homeland," said Li Genhong. "Honestly, this is going to be very difficult and we will definitely run into a million and one problems. There will be many things we must sacrifice and overcome along the way.”
"We are now all working for money, but so what if we have money?"
He looked at all of them. "Even if I give you US$100,000 now, can you change the future of your children?"
"After they grow up, the only road they might be left with is to die in a battle. Or perhaps, starve to death along the streets."
"Is that what you want to see?”
Li Genhong took a deep breath and rapped his fingers in a rhythm on the desk.
"I wouldn't want to see that."
"I don't have anywhere to go either. I've come here because I had no choice, but since I'm already here, I would like to do these things."
He sat down and leaned back.
"Alright now, I've said everything I wanted to say. If you're willing to work with me, then stay. If you're not willing to, I won't force you to stay. You can take the money you've earned and leave, it should last you for several years."
Then he didn't say anymore.
He had said everything he could already, so the rest was up to them to choose.
Silence.
All ten of them were silent.
They weren't thinking about what decision to make, but they were thinking about the implications of actually doing something like this.
