"What is war?

The word "war" is a general synonym for cruelty, misery, tyranny, arson, massacre and other inhumane evils {uploaded by a book friend}

The so-called war is a huge pocket of demons that includes all inhuman evils. It poisons living beings, destroys fertile fields, destroys houses, commits wanton violence, destroys culture, turns the world into a hell, and turns countless souls into lonely ghosts.

——This is war

What is justice?

Justice is strength, and only strength is justice. Everything is nothing more than the law of the jungle.

Humanity and all other beauties, morals, and justice are weak compared to strength.

What exactly is holy slaughter?

What kind of knowledge can be used to understand the facts of multiple existences?

The God of Peace can only accompany the God of War.”

——"The War of the Republic"——The beginning

The soldiers built a house in Dagang Industrial Park with black iron roofs, each of which could accommodate hundreds of people. The house was surrounded by barbed wire, and a white sign with the words "Expeditionary Force" written on it was hung next to the door.

The big sign with black letters, this is not their permanent residence, it is only temporary. For them, all soldiers will eventually go on an expedition, just as the big sign says - "Expedition to Europe"

A room with a tin roof was crowded with young people of different ages. They were wandering around the room, smoking and chatting loudly. People spoke various dialects, including Hebei dialect and Shandong dialect.

dialect, Shanxi dialect, Anhui dialect, Jiangsu dialect, Hunan dialect, in short, various dialects, gathered in the military camp of the expeditionary force

These people are far away from home and are in military camps, waiting for the upcoming expedition. On the central training ground, a theater troupe from the capital is performing a play. Under the stage, tens of thousands of soldiers are densely packed.

Sitting there, listening to Peking Opera, even though many people didn’t understand, they still listened there

The content of these condolence Peking Opera performances was very simple, and most of them were plays related to military and war. But at this time, "Liu Lang Visits His Mother" came out from the loudspeaker. In this room, the reason why these people did not listen to the play

It's very simple. They are waiting to receive the "family visit permit". Before going off to the expedition, these soldiers whose families are nearby have four days to visit their relatives.

"Wen Depeng"

"have"

In response to the officer's call, Wen Depeng squeezed through the crowd and walked to the table. The officer handed him a piece of tissue paper with the large seal of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters and the literacy education he received in the Expeditionary Force.

This allowed Wen Depeng to understand the sentence on the paper: "The expeditionary officers and soldiers went on an expedition to Europe to bring glory to the country. This time they returned home to visit relatives and provide help." This was the "visiting card".

After completing the formalities, Wen Depeng, like the others, left the military camp in a truck. On the crowded carriage, he looked at the industrial area. It was once just an industrial area on the beach, but now dozens of companies have settled in.

The large chimneys of the power plant in the distance were spewing soot, and the soldiers who were out of camp to visit relatives on the carriages had their noses runny from the ice. Riding in a truck in this winter was obviously not a bad thing.

But despite this, when the truck left the industrial area and passed through a village, the children in the village still crowded and chased the truck, and then sang and shouted loudly

"If you don't see me, the army of the Han Dynasty will end. The weak-headed prisoners will ask for a long tassel. If you don't see me, the ban will be far away. The Jueyu Qingqi will urge the war cloud..."

The children's singing followed the car. First one, then several more soldiers were leaving the camp on the car, and finally everyone started singing along.

"A man should be in a dangerous job. How can I let the scholar-officials misunderstand this situation? The country's majesty is like a dead egg. Many feathers are competing with each other. I have abandoned my pen of the past. During the war, I solemnly called out to the millions of comrades and sang war hymns to join the army.

Qi joins the army, cleanses the dust, and vows to wipe out the enemy invaders regardless of his own safety"...

This military song, which can be said to have the most Chinese martial temperament and cultural heritage, was first heard on a radio station during the "Jiao'ao Incident" and later spread throughout China. After the formation of the expeditionary force, it almost naturally became the military song of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

, these expeditionary force soldiers are no strangers to this song, they sing it twice every morning and evening

Finally, when approaching the train station, Wen Depeng jumped out of the truck_Pao&Book&

"Brothers, walk slowly, I'm going home first"

"Come on, you kid, you speak with an authentic Wannan accent. Why don't you live in Tianjin? Don't want to be a deserter."

deserter?

Although there was a burst of laughter, Wen Depeng's heart still trembled, and his face instantly turned pale. Yes, he just wanted to be a deserter, but his family was indeed in Tianjin and came to Tianjin more than ten years ago.

He arrived in Tianjin, but after being organized into the expeditionary force, he never took a leave of absence. Instead, he trained hard and diligently, just so that the commander could finally issue him a family visit permit smoothly, and then leave the camp with the family visit permit.

"Master Jun will make my car"

Almost as soon as the truck drove away, a sharp-eyed driver pulled a foreign truck and ran up to him. The driver was respectful and showed no intention of avoiding it. Wen Depeng, who had also been a driver in the past, looked at the driver.

But I was stunned for a moment, what's wrong with this guy? Aren't you afraid that he won't pay for the car?

Just as he was puzzled, two more coachmen came over. Before the two men could speak, the coachman who came earlier started shouting.

"Hey, brothers, this business is not so fierce. I came here first. Master, please..."

"Master Jun, it's free to do this for me. This Sun Laosan is really heartbroken. I can't get out of his car without 20 cents..."

"What are you talking about, old Pichu, two cents? I, Sun Laosan, also know that not everyone can earn money. If anyone wants to pay for the car, his son will die..."

The argument between several people made Wen Depeng stunned and never recovered. Perhaps he noticed the surprise on his face, and the fortune teller next to him with a fortune teller said to him

"Master Jun, you'd better choose someone to get on the bus, otherwise, they will definitely start tearing him apart."

"this……"

"I don't care about anything else, just your military uniform."

The fortune teller pointed at Wen Depeng's woolen military uniform, but what he touched was the armband on Wen Depeng's shoulder.

Finally, Wen Depeng got on the foreign cart. As soon as he got on the cart, the driver pulled the cart and started running. The cart driver shouted as he ran:

"Army? Hi, I heard on paper that the army is about to go on an expedition."

"Alas, alas..."

In response, Wen Depeng didn't even know what he should say. Along the way, the coachman kept talking. Finally, more than half an hour later, he arrived near Wen Depeng's house. When he got off the bus, Wen Depeng hurriedly asked for something from his pocket.

He took the money, but was stopped by the driver.

"Master Jun, I won't talk about anything else. If I can bring him here, it means that my family has done its best for the country..."

The driver surnamed Sun looked at Wen Depeng with a smile on his sweaty face.

"The military master is going to Europe to fight foreigners, even at the risk of his life. If I want your old money again, I will still be a human being."

"You have to ask for money. Yes, there are military orders. If there are military orders, don't take a needle from the people..."

"Master, please don't join me as a soldier. It's not easy to get two military salaries. You can keep it and buy more things for your parents..."

As he said that, the driver pulled the cart and ran away, leaving Wen Depeng standing blankly on the roadside with a few "little foreign" in his hand.

"Look, isn't this the boss of the Wen family?"

A voice made Wen Depeng come back to his senses. When he looked back, his face immediately became unnatural. It was Aunt Feng. She was his neighbor, but this person never spoke leniently and even spoke harshly.

Thin

"Boss of the Wen family, these clothes are quite impressive. The high-ranking officials who rode foreign horses in the past wore only this kind of foreign material. Tsk tsk, if you can die wearing this material, it's worth it..."...

"Damn old lady, I think your life has been in vain, I let you make a lot of noise..."

There was a burst of scolding at the end. It was Uncle Feng who slapped Aunt Feng in the mouth first and started to curse while she was crying. Then he turned his face and apologized to Wen Depeng.

"Dapengzi, don't blame your aunt, her mouth is not blocked from the wind..."

"Uncle, look what you said, my aunt has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Do I still know..."

Seeing that Uncle Feng was angry, Wen Depeng quickly persuaded him.

What's going on today?

Wen Depeng couldn't react. On the way home, people he was familiar with and people he wasn't familiar with were all very close to him. That was Feng who usually didn't even say a word and let his mother-in-law yell and scold him.

The uncle, as if he had drunk too much, whipped his mother-in-law, and finally arrived at the door of his house. He unexpectedly saw a piece of red lingzi at the door of the house. Under the red lingzi, there was a bronze medal. On the bronze medal was clearly

The expeditionary force badge he was very familiar with had a few words on it.

"Expeditionary family members are the most glorious family"

This...what's going on?

Looking at the bronze medal, he remembered that when the expeditionary force was established, the officers seemed to want their detailed addresses and military attributes plates to be made, as if there were any preferential treatment.

"Mom, I'm back"

Opening the door and shouting towards the door, Wen Depeng saw his mother walking out.

"Depeng is back"

The woman who came out of the house changed her face when she saw the people in the yard. She was a little happy, but also a little worried. At this time, Wen Depeng smelled some Chinese medicine in the yard. Who was sick?

"Where's dad?"

As he spoke, Wen Depeng's heart tightened. He knew that if his usually frugal father had not been seriously ill and had no other choice, he would never ask him to take medicine. The strong smell of medicine in the house was obviously too much to take.

I have been taking medicine for a long time

"Your dad has been having a problem. He feels uncomfortable in the winter. He's in the back room..."

Mrs. Wen Li said, looking at her son's military uniform, her expression became uncertain. When her son went to join the army, it was not because of life, but he thought that he might fight if he joined the army. Who would have thought...

I once thought that China does not fight, but it wants to go to foreign countries to fight.
