Chapter 196: Massacre Memorial
Wu Lan suddenly beckoned, "Wait a minute."
Cang Hao turned around: "What else is going on?"
"You know, I've always felt that you just came to JPZ to make money. β
Cang Hao smiled: "You said it a long time ago." β
"But I know now that you're not just in it for the money. Wulan's attitude towards Cang Hao at this time was no longer as hostile as in the past: "After listening to what you said, and seeing what Colonel Song Shuang did, I think this kind of person really shouldn't stay in the world!"
Before Cang Hao could say anything, Griffith came, and when he saw Cang Hao, he smiled: "It's good to come back." β
Cang Hao nodded: "Thank you." β
"You're welcome. Griffith said, glancing at Lin Binghua: "As long as you need help, as long as we can do it, we will do my best." β
"Can you send a few more fighters next time?"
"Well said. Griffith then told Cang Haoduo to pay attention to safety, and then said nothing more, and was about to leave.
Cang Hao proposed: "Can you send me a car?"
"What's the matter?"
"Take a trip to Phnom Penh. β
Griffith asked again, "When will you be back?"
"It won't take an hour or two. β
"No problem. Griffith didn't ask Cang Hao what he was doing in Phnom Penh, he immediately called on the walkie-talkie, and then told Cang Hao: "Ten minutes later, the car will come to pick you up, there are drivers and two security guards, no matter where you want to go, just order them directly." β
"Thank you. β
"Then I'll go back first. Before Griffith left, he glanced at Lin Binghua again.
When Griffith left, Dancing hurriedly asked, "Who is this man?"
"Griffith, the military contractor of Country M stationed at JPZ, is in charge of him. After a pause, Cang Hao continued: "However, he is only commanding ground forces, involving air and sea forces, and he needs to coordinate and communicate with his superiors. β
Wu Lan nodded with some disappointment: "It turns out that those super bumblebees were not directly sent by him." β
Cang Hao smiled deeply: "Actually, it doesn't matter if she sent it directly or not." β
Wulan hurriedly asked, "What is important?"
"The efficiency of the people of country M. Cang Hao told SΓΉ Wulan word by word: "Back then, China taught Vietnam a lesson, the air force and navy basically did not move much, and it was always the army that was desperate. However, any unit of the people of country M can call for air support at any time, and their command system is highly unified and smooth. The reason why the army of country M is good at fighting is not only because of its advanced weapons and equipment, but also because of this factor. In other words, even for a person in a high position like Meng Yanglong, it is timidity to do things, and there are many considerations. The South-Western border defense is so incompetent that he cannot deal with even one person responsible. This system in country M is what we really need to learn ......"
Lin Binghua was not very interested in military affairs, but asked another question: "What do you think of Griffith?"
Cang Hao smiled and asked, "What do you say?"
"Old fox. Lin Binghua said thoughtfully: "When he deals with you, he doesn't look like a soldier, but more like a businessman." Moreover, he pays great attention to saving face for you, originally the Blood Lion mercenary was quite faceless when the base camp was taken out this time, Griffith didn't mention this battle process from the beginning, just talked about other topics, indicating that he was very thoughtful. β
Wulan immediately said: "I found that he looked at you several times, sister, is he in love with you." β
Lin Binghua said directly: "I don't have the slightest interest in him!"
Just now, the car sent by Griffiths came, and Cang Hao took Lin Binghua and Wulan into the car and drove towards Phnom Penh.
Wu Lan asked curiously, "What are you going to take us for?"
Cang Hao threw over a sentence: "Sold you!"
Lin Binghua sighed and said to Wulan: "Don't pay attention to him, he always doesn't have a serious word." β
Wu Lan still didn't understand: "Let's talk about Colonel Song Shuang, why do you want to go to Phnom Penh." β
Cang Hao said meaningfully: "I will take you to a place to help you strengthen your understanding." β
After the car arrived in Phnom Penh, Cang Hao used the mobile phone map to guide the driver, and soon, from a distance, you could see that there were five towers standing in the dense woods.
Unlike ordinary buildings, the shape and color of these towers are very harmonious with the surrounding environment, unlike those built of reinforced concrete.
Cang Hao introduced: "This place has just been completed this year, by the internationally renowned designer Hadid himself, the whole is made of wood, so it gives people a very peaceful feeling. β
Wulan was even more curious: "What the hell is this place?"
"Yad Vasah Memorial. Cang Hao said with emotion: "To be precise, this is the site of the new museum, and it has not yet been officially opened to the public." β
The memorial was originally manned, and even after the Khmer Rouge occupied Phnom Penh, there were still some strong personnel who remained.
For some reason, the Khmer Rouge caused trouble in every corner of Phnom Penh, but they avoided this memorial hall, pretending not to know that there was such a place.
After Cang Hao and the others got out of the car, the two staff members of the memorial hall cautiously stepped forward, and saw Cang Hao wearing military uniforms and two heavily armed security guards, and immediately retreated to the side, not daring to come up and say anything.
Cang Hao took Lin Binghua and Wulanjing into the memorial hall and told the two girls: "This is also the first time I have come to this place, but I have learned about it on the Internet before, and I can be a tour guide for you." β
There is a tree here in the memorial hall, transplanted from somewhere else, and Cang Hao told the two girls: "This is a killing tree......
"How do you kill someone?" Wu Lan walked over and took a closer look, and suddenly found blood stains in the cracks of the tree trunk, and even though it had been so long, it still seemed to smell of blood: "This...... It seems kind of scary. β
Cang Hao smiled coldly: "Back then, the Khmer Rouge would grab the child's leg and throw his head directly on the tree, so it was called a killing tree." β
Wu Lan couldn't help but shake her head: "Crazy!"
"They kill people in a variety of ways, treating children to death by falling, treating adults if they shoot them is merciful, sometimes using sticks to beat them to death, and sometimes even trying to drill out their brains......" Cang Hao introduced while shaking his head: "At the site of the old museum, there is a flat ground, and there are white bones buried underneath, and you may step on a broken bone if you walk up casually." β
Lin Binghua asked meaningfully: "Why did the Khmer Rouge kill so many people?"
"I think I know the answer, and if I watch a foreign TV show, read a book written by a foreigner, or have some remarks that they think are dangerous, I can just kill them. And it's still the Zhulian Nine Clan, some people who have nothing to do with it at all will also be involved......" Wulan saw with her own eyes how Colonel Song Shuang executed the so-called "traitor", and smiled coldly: "Even, there may not be a reason at all, it's just that they want to kill people!"
"The Khmer Rouge was one such organization, killing innocents indiscriminately, while exploiting the people through public ownership, causing widespread famine. After a pause, Cang Hao continued: "The people have to live under this double pressure, and as a result, the country can reduce the population by so much in a short period of time, and you can imagine what is going on. β
In the exhibition hall there is a large shelf, divided into several layers, each of which is densely packed with human skulls, all of which were victims of the Khmer Rouge.
In addition, there are many pictures and artifacts that systematically explain that absurd and bloody era, and anyone who knows nothing about this history will receive a spiritual shock.
Although Lin Binghua and Wulan were killers, they still felt their scalps tingle when they saw this qiΔ in front of them.
Wu Lan couldn't help but sigh: "I finally understand why everyone calls Colonel Song Shuang a demon!"
"The initiator of these crimes was Pol Pot, and Colonel Song Shuang, as Pol Pot's close assistant, certainly contributed a lot. Shaking his head, Cang Hao continued: "After the defeat of the Khmer Rouge, in 1998, Pol Pot died, and the Khmer Rouge fighters came out of the jungle to surrender to the government, and this battered country finally ushered in a new era. Now, Colonel Song Shuang is back, and if he wants to turn back the wheel of history, no one with a little conscience will agree. I admit that Colonel Song Shuang is a great idealistic warrior, but his remarkability is a disaster for the whole of humanity. β
Lin Binghua said with some emotion: "If I didn't come here, I really don't know this history, I didn't expect such a thing to happen in this distant country." β
"Your words are very representative. Cang Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Many people think, many people think, JPZ is a country far away, and what happens here has nothing to do with us." But like I said, if you don't care about the world, the world won't care about you. This is true of being a human being, and it is also true of governing a country. Moreover, the Khmer Rouge once had an inexplicable relationship with our country, and the history of this organization provides us with a very meaningful question for our country and even for humanity as a whole -- why the ideals originally aimed at the liberation of mankind often turn into murderous opportunities. β
Wulan nodded vigorously: "Well said!"
"Every country has different histories and cultures, so values often conflict, but there are always some common truths. Cang Hao walked slowly past the exhibition cabinet and said: "The two camps of the East and the West have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but they are surprisingly unanimous on the JPZ issue, and individual countries will never dare to say it openly even if they sympathize with the Khmer Rouge." Because everyone knows how brutal and bloody the kind of doctrine this organization represents, human civilization must not go back to such a path. β
During the whole visit, several staff members always followed Cang Hao and his party, neither daring to move forward nor leaving.
