PFC Chapter 166 Salute!!!
Chapter 166 Salute!!!
The middle-aged man panicked.
Completely panicked.
Although these people in front of me are hunched over, their combined momentum is like the collapse of Mount Tai.
Whether it is the old lady in front of me.
Or, these survivors of the Nanjing Massacre.
Or perhaps, those veterans wearing old military uniforms with medals hanging on their chests.
He couldn't afford to offend anyone.
But remembering the instructions from his superiors, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and persevere.
The middle-aged man said, "Things are different now. Economic development is the overarching goal. Economic development is everything. Don't let yourself be fooled and exploited by people with ulterior motives. This matter is very serious. They burned down Fengqing Street and beat up my friend. This could lead to an international dispute. You must not speak carelessly..."
"Footbasin friend?"
"International dispute?"
"You still dare to say these two words now?"
"Have you asked us? Have you asked those 300,000 of our compatriots who were slaughtered?"
"what?"
The old lady with snow-white hair had her eyes wide open.
“Let me ask you this now:”
"Do we old bones have the right to speak?"
"Young people are passionate about protecting old bones like us, is that wrong?"
"Young Chicheng, is it wrong to protect the country and save its honor?"
"Why? We have to go to the capital, stand in front of the monument, and ask our companions who died, ask our compatriots who sacrificed their lives over the years, whether it was worth it to sacrifice our lives?"
"The revenge of ten generations can still be avenged!"
"Family feuds and national hatred will never be forgotten!!!"
"Now,"
"Or, let him go!"
"Or, let someone who can speak come!"
"Bugler, blow the bugle!"
Beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep...
……
boom……
Listen to the old lady's firm words.
Look at those white-haired old people.
Listen, the loud charge.
Look at the charge bugle shining in the morning light.
Pan Yinian suddenly felt that it was worth it, all worth it.
It was not as he misunderstood, that everyone was turning a deaf and dumb and protecting themselves.
Instead, they are also silently supporting him and fighting in their own way.
Even if it means revealing the scars that I have never wanted to face in my life...
Before he knew it, Pan Yinian stood up straight.
Straight straight.
It's like a pine tree rooted in the rock.
It is more like a spear that has just begun to sharpen its edge.
"salute!"
Feeling excited, Pan Yinian stood at attention and saluted towards the entrance of the detention center.
"salute!"
As they approached, the Nanjing University and the citizens' formation, under Su Ying's command, saluted these veterans and survivors of the massacre.
"salute!"
In the military academy formation, Chen Ningning put away the flag and stood at attention, leading the military academy students to salute the veterans, the survivors, and Pan Yinian.
"salute……"
Accompanied by an old roar.
This group of old people faced the entrance of the detention center, looked at Pan Yinian at the window, looked at Dai Tuhui and the other three, and looked at the old soldier with the broken arm. He raised his arm.
Solemn and dignified.
At this moment, these old people gradually overlapped with the selfless figures in movies and TV.
At that moment, Pan Yinian and the others seemed to have traveled through time and space, seeing the city of Jinling, a city of flying cannon fodder and filled with smoke; seeing the veterans who fought to the death, shedding their last blood, and dying in every corner of Jinling; and seeing the souls of those who died in the massacre, and the heroes who risked their lives to protect women and children...
They all seemed to have opened their eyes.
They seemed to be looking at them.
They all seemed to be saying: Don't be afraid, child, we are here.
Unconsciously, tears blurred Pan Yinian's eyes.
Before he knew it, Pan Yinian could no longer hold back his trembling lips, and hot tears streamed down his cheeks.
It’s worth it, really worth it.
Even if the final result is not satisfactory.
Even if the ending overlaps with the previous life.
Even if, as Yijiufen threatened him, he ends up in jail for life, it's worth it!!!
……
boom!
At this moment, the thin middle-aged man suddenly closed the window.
Facing Pan Yinian's hostile gaze, the thin middle-aged man smiled bitterly and shook his head, "My last name is Qin, you can call me Lao Qin."
Swish!
Pan Yinian, without even looking at Lao Qin, turned around and walked to the bed and sat down.
No response, no answer, no cooperation.
Old Qin had obviously expected this and was not angry. He just smiled and said, "I'm different from those people before."
Pan Yinian simply closed his eyes, curled his lips, and was full of sarcasm.
It's indeed different.
Be it 19 points or a mean girl.
You're just short of calling me "little foot basin daddy". At least you know how to disguise yourself.
Old Qin smiled, lit a cigarette, looked at Pan Yinian, who closed his eyes and said nothing, and asked, "I just want to ask you one question. If you hadn't seen what you just saw, or if these people hadn't come, would you think it was worth it?"
Swish!
Pan Yinian suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his narrow pupils.
"Let me ask it another way. If you go to jail for this, do you think it's worth it?"
Pan Yinian still didn't speak.
But that sharp gaze was repeating what the old lady had said before:
The hatred of ten generations can still be avenged!
Family feuds and national hatred will never be forgotten!!!
"I understand……"
Old Qin sighed and gave a helpless smile. "Let me tell you this. We have always had people keeping an eye on similar situations in Jinling and other places. It's just that the timing wasn't right, so we haven't taken direct and effective measures."
"Ah……"
Pan Yinian sneered.
"Hey……"
Lao Qin sighed, "We don't want to pamper the foreigners or the foreign devils, and we certainly don't want them to suck our blood. But who can blame us for our lack of technology and talent? The foreign powers are determined to destroy us, and they are even more determined to siege us technologically and economically. If we want to catch up and learn their technology, we can only compromise."
"Only when our motherland becomes strong can we take back the blood they sucked away bit by bit..."
Hearing this, Pan Yinian was a little dazed.
In later generations, several joint ventures in Jinling did go bankrupt and the Chinese people started their own businesses.
He also worked in one of the joint ventures with China.
But in the same way, in later generations, various foot basin style streets and foot basin schools have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
Not to mention, there were articles glorifying foot basins, which were even included in the test papers.
And the textbook incident that made countless parents so angry that they had cerebral congestion.
If he hadn't been reborn, he would have really believed what Lao Qin said.
"Do you believe that? Even if you really intend to do that, will those traitors and lackeys let you?"
Pan Yinian's sarcastic tone made Lao Qin frown.
Originally, based on his understanding, Pan Yinian, a good Chinese boy with a strong family background, should have a big vision.
Why do you look like an angry young man now?
And a bit cynical?
Before he could figure it out, Pan Yinian's heart-wrenching words stabbed into his heart one after another.
"Since you are so glorious and righteous, why don't those people outside understand you?"
"Since you are so concerned about the country and the people, why do I only see the old soldiers being humiliated and the little-footed people establishing the New Concession, becoming the upper class, and shitting on our necks?"
"If you have such a good plan, then why are you here? Can't you just convict me directly?"
"This way, you can appease your step-basin father and get political achievements, and move up the ladder."
"By then, even if you say a black cat is white, no one will dare to fart."
"Come on, handcuff me and walk me out of the detention center. Shoot me on the spot in front of everyone. Silence everyone and achieve your great achievement!"
After saying that, Pan Yinian stretched out his hands, waiting for Lao Qin to handcuff him...
