Chapter 248: A Tide of Thoughts
James was really a little shaken.
In this world, James originally believed that the Eagle Country was the world's number one power and the number one overlord. But in the past few years in China, his firm philosophy has begun to shake slowly.
Because everything that happens here in China is different from what is propagated by the media in my own country. It is not only Huaihai and the capital that a few foreign port cities have built beautifully.
In fact, I went to many cities in the interior, and the small cities in this country are also very well built. For example, Shuangqing, which I had never heard of when I was in the Eagle Country, was a beautiful city. There are also Chifeng, Shijiazhuang, etc., which are almost impossible for Westerners to name, and these cities are obviously also beautiful. The construction is also quite good.
The people here are actually very comfortable. It's not as bad as it is in the news media, and even in terms of security, they are better than in the Eagle Country.
If there is anything that is the same as advertised in the news, it is that China's military strength is still many, much worse than that of Eagle Country. This country does not have the strategic capacity to launch globally.
The weapons of this country are also quite inferior to those of the Eagle Country. In all respects, the Eagle Nation is ahead of the country in terms of military power and economic power.
This is also the key to James's loyalty to the Eagle Nation to this day, after all, his motto is: follow the strong.
"But ......"
Thinking of what he saw and heard during the day today, James felt some heart palpitations. If the hive alone has more than a thousand future generations as tough as the four teenagers I saw during the day this morning, then ......
James shook his head, shoving his thoughts out of his mind.
"No, our country is the strongest!"
James thought so, and his phone text prompt sounded.
From: A happy little black skin.
This is his contact in Huaihai, that black man. His public identity in Huaihai is a talk comedian, and there is still quite a market.
[How is your work today?]
James thought about it for a moment, then went back to [all is well].
He needed to sort out his thoughts, which made him a little confused today. He could only turn on his computer and browse the Internet.
Now James still lives in Huaihai, a single apartment for 5,000 yuan a month. It is said to be a single apartment, but there is also a one-bedroom apartment.
Turning on the computer, James decided to surf the Internet to relieve his restlessness. Usually when he encounters this kind of moment that shakes his heart, he will search for videos such as [Eagle Army Military Force Mixed Cut] on the Internet to cheer himself up.
Today is no exception, smoothly surfing the Internet scientifically, successfully logging in to the 404 website, and smoothly opening various videos in my collection.
Click on one of my favorite videos, which is a remix of the Eagle Nation Army fighting around the world. The Eagle soldiers in the video are brave and skillful, and the A10 attack aircraft strafes at low altitudes and smashes the enemy's tanks and combat vehicles into scrap metal. Tomahawk cruise missiles obscure the sky and the sun, making the enemy fearful.
Coupled with the radical "Song of the Warriors", this is a blood-boiling video remix. James would have been thrilled every time he saw such a video remix. And to develop unlimited loyalty and love for the Motherland.
But today......
"It's noisy. James paused the video in frustration, and he suddenly felt that watching the Eagle Army's heroic slaughter seemed to be boring. Because something he had never noticed before, he noticed today.
That is, the Eagle Army warriors look extremely tough, but if you really look closely at their opponents, who are those opponents?
Dressed in colorful clothes, without neat military uniforms, he carried a mixed weapon made by Soviet-made eagles and Chinese-made. There are no decent planes, there are reliable tanks, artillery. The enemies looked so weak, like a bunch of militia taking up arms.
And where is the place where the Eagle Army fought?
In the streets and alleys of other people's cities, in the fields of other people's hometowns.
"Maybe those places used to be the same as those small cities in China. For some reason, James suddenly thought of the small Chinese cities he had been to.
Very small, tens of thousands, 100,000, 200,000. A city has only one or two main roads and one or two lively commercial centers. But everyone is happy, and the faces of the people living in those small cities are full of smiles. Everyone is pursuing happiness in their own way.
"If our soldiers hadn't gone to those countries, if they hadn't gone to the so-called presiding justice......"
When James thought of this, some of the thoughts he had once suppressed in his brain couldn't help but explode in an instant.
Maybe there are tens of thousands of people living in those ruined small towns, and there are happy families of three in them. There are mothers who are heartbroken for their children's education, there are big boys who cheer to win the hearts of their beloved girlfriends, and there are elderly people who have held hands with each other and loved each other for half a century.
Maybe...... No maybe......
He stared at the video of the Eagle Army's battle, which was fighting on a street with façade houses on both sides of the road. Perhaps this was once the city's busiest business district and main thoroughfare, just as I saw it in one of China's smaller counties.
Perhaps the streets are lined with small shops selling all kinds of daily necessities, where people shop and rush for a better day tomorrow.
"So, does being strong have to be shown by bullying the weak?" a dam collapsed in James's brain. After living in China for many years, traveling to many places and coming into contact with many Chinese, something in his mind has begun to change subtly.
And the powerful Chinese teenagers he sees today were only the last straw for the dam to collapse.
"What is peace in the world?"
"Is it the strength of the Eagle Country, or is it to make everyone happy?"
"Is it exploitation or reciprocity?"
"Is it to plunge the whole world into war, is it to make the global economic situation tense?"
"Is it for the private interests of certain capitalists to make the whole world pay for their greed?"
The tide of thought hit James wave after wave. His education from an early age taught him that "I should be loyal to my motherland".
But his intellect told him that I should do the right thing.
What are the consequences of doing the right thing?!Are you going to go against the world's number one power?!]
[What is there to be afraid of? The only death through the ages is difficult, as long as you are not afraid of death, there is nothing to be afraid of!]
[But you're just afraid of death, aren't you?]
[For the sake of the right thing, death is not terrible!]
Feeling like his brain was about to explode, James shut down the 404 website and quit Science Online. I opened a Baidu website and found a Chinese video website. On a certain B station, he raised his eyes and saw a push on the homepage of the whole site.
