-------------------------------------------

When I came out of the hotel, it was already nightfall.

Each household was lit up by various lights, and for a time the entire D city became a shining pearl, and the arrival of a new era made it exude a unique charm.

The buildings around the hotel are not all high-rise buildings, but also dotted with low-rise dilapidated houses that don't fit in.

Under the orange street lamps, Jonas walks down the street, which is particularly eye-catching.

Due to the political turmoil, in recent years, there have been few foreign faces on the streets of D, a war-torn city, especially after nightfall, and white people from Europe like Jonas are even rarer.

Jonas had not been far from the hotel when he was stopped by a group of children.

A group of about a dozen young boys, like locusts, suddenly swarmed up from the corner and surrounded Jonas.

Seeing that they are mostly drooping, children at this age should be by their parents' side and enjoy childlike fun, but ......

Worn on the body are shabby, dirty and messy clothes.

These ill-fitting clothes are like little skirts, put on them, and look like clowns.

Jonas, who was close to them, could clearly smell the foul smell of these children because they had not cleaned up for a long time.

These are homeless children, and I don't know why they are forced to be this kind of loneliness.

'Presumably because of the war......,' Jonas thought to himself.

The children were holding the old sacks in one hand and reaching out towards Jonas with the other.

They spoke Arabic that Jonas didn't understand, but from the wistful look in their eyes, Jonas knew they were begging for themselves.

Perhaps by kindness, Jonas took out his purse by chance, drew a large amount of money from it, and distributed it among the poor children who were waiting to be fed.

Unexpectedly, the street children who got the money didn't say a word, and just ran away without a trace.

Although he did not receive thanks, this did not affect Jonas's good mood, and Jonas, who had done a good deed, was about to leave with a smile on his lips.

"Did you leave something behind. Not far away, a familiar man's voice was heard.

Jonas saw One-Eye, grabbing the back of a stray child's neck, as if he were carrying a chicken, and approached.

This was the oldest and largest of the homeless children who had surrounded Jonas.

"One-eyed, why are you doing this to these poor children. Jonas said with a frown and a look of displeasure on his face.

"If you look at what your kindness is regarded by them, you won't feel sorry for them. One-Eye said, snatching a leather bag from the arms of the captured stray child and throwing it to Jonas.

"This! Isn't this my wallet! When will it ......" Jonas looked at the wallet he had just taken out, and hurriedly took out his trouser pocket, only to find that the wallet that had been placed there was gone!

"Hey, you little scoundrels!" Jonas said dissatisfied.

", little thing!" said One-Eye, casually tossing the stray child on the ground in his hand, his tone full of disgust.

Because he grabbed the stray child's neck, his hands were also stained with some filth.

If he hadn't wanted to teach Jonas a lesson, he wouldn't have bothered to do anything to these filthy little guys.

The little homeless man, who had been spared by One-Eye, hurriedly got up from the ground and went to join the army of street children who had stopped in the distance and watched here.

Jonas looked at them from a distance, maybe it was his delusion, and at this time you Jonas actually felt that they were like fierce wolves standing in the shadows, with green eyes, flashing with ruthless greed, staring at themselves undisguisedly, and a chilling feeling came out of his heart, which made Jonas feel palpitations.

"Teach you a lesson, you have to learn to fit in. One-eyed looked at Jonas, who was overflowing with disappointment, and said earnestly.

Shook the boredom in his heart aside.

Jonas straightened his mood and asked, "One-eyed, didn't you also want a coffee-colored woman, and you didn't take it with you in your room at this time, why did you come here?"

"Sure enough, you misunderstood. One-eyed walked in front and said slowly.

"What do you mean by being misunderstood?" Jonas hurriedly followed, and asked again.

"In this war-torn land, women's status and low income are terrible, you know?" said One-Eye.

"Of course I know, that's why I can't stand your bullying!" said Jonas righteously.

"No, you don't know how eager these women are for this reception. One-eyed said slowly: "There are too many women in this war-torn place, if you knew the fate of women who have no use value, you wouldn't do such a cold-blooded thing." ”

"I'm cold-blooded?" Jonas couldn't believe his ears, it was clear that Jace was doing too much, right?

"I asked, all four of them are people with huge debts, and the reward offered by Hashem is quite attractive, just a few days of careful companionship, they can get the money they can redeem their free bodies, for them who are already in a desperate situation, this is undoubtedly a pie in the sky. ”

"But, but...... No matter what, you can't ......" Jonas is still holding on to his ridiculous justice.

"Without this money, they will be sent to the battlefield, and perhaps one day they will become the guns of the opposition. One-eyed's cold words cut off Jonas' last struggle.

"Huh...... So what I did was wrong......" Jonas laughed at himself, his eyes looking like he had lost his highlights.

"Don't you want to know how my eyes are blind? One-eyed suddenly pointed to his prosthetic eye and said, "I came here more than ten years ago, and it was in this yellow earth that I lost it. ”

Jonas came back to his senses and looked at One-Eye in surprise, he had always been quite curious about how One-Eye lost that eye, but it was someone else's painful past, and even if Jonas was curious, he would not rush to ask.

Unexpectedly, One-Eye had been to this war-torn place, no wonder he spoke Arabic and knew so much about the customs here!

"I used to be, just like you now, self-righteous, kind, and paranoid. One-Eye said slowly.

"I was with the opposition on that mission. ”

"Wait, One-Eye, are you wrong?" Jonas paused for a moment, interrupting One-Eye's memory.

One-eyed looked at Jonas with a smile and said, "I'm not wrong, it's the opposition." The justice you think is just superficial propaganda, and at the moment the war begins, there is no justice or evil. ”

"But...... If it hadn't been provoked by the reactionaries, wouldn't the war have happened......" Jonas felt that the one-eyed words were so harsh that he could not accept them.

"There are many causes of unrest, economic, religious, partisan disputes, and even the intervention of foreign forces, but since the situation has been turned upside down and the insurrection cannot be stopped, the so-called reactionaries are simply born in response to the will of the people. One-Eye explained slowly.

"I remember that in China, there was a saying that 'water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat', which was indeed very appropriate in this country at that time. ”

"At that time, it was not the advanced artillery of foreign support that helped the reactionaries to capture the city, and even the reactionary members who attacked the city did not have a decent gun in their hands. ”

"The people who opened the gates of the city to greet them were the natives who lived in it......" One-Eye shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It's ridiculous, isn't it, you managed to control the city without even seeing the enemy......"

"But...... What's the matter with your eyes?" asked Jonas anxiously.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. One-Eye doesn't seem to want to end right away.

-------------------------------------------

With the help of the opposition, Mi Guo quickly took over a large area and defeated the army led by ** at that time.

But things soon took a turn for the worse.

Because what the United States wants is a turbulent country, a country that is not united and is always at war is in the interests of the United States.

Seeing that the reactionaries have been almost raised, if they continue to help, they may really have to defeat the ** army.

As a result, the United States stopped providing free funding.

Want a gun?

Want a cannon?

Okay, get the money and buy it!

At this time, the reactionaries recognized the face of the capitalists in the United States.

But the war has already come to this point, no longer work harder, beat the ** army away, so as to unify the whole country, is it possible to return all the land that has been beaten down to the old **?

At this time, the ** army, which was in an embarrassment, actually got the help of the Russian bear.

All at once the opposition suffered the most serious setbacks.

A wave of counter-attacks has caused the opposition to lose most of its territory, and the remaining territory is also in a precarious state.

At this time, Mi Guo secretly said to the opposition.

'As long as you give money, I will give you advanced weapons so that you can win the war!'

Money, is a big problem.

The property left behind in the territory has been sold out, and it seems that the only thing left is the coffee-colored people......

Brown people?

The opposition was 'smart' and began the looting operation.

This touched the bottom line of the people.

The people in the areas occupied by the reactionaries, after driving away the ** with their own hands and supporting the reactionaries, thought that they would usher in a better life, but they did not expect to shoot themselves in the foot.

-------------------------------------------

"At that time, I was not used to this kind of behavior of the opposition, and during one of the robberies, I saw that they were going to rob a couple of orphans and widows from their only belongings, so I stepped forward to stop them. One-Eye said.

"Guess what, my eyes were actually protecting the mother and son, and the child suddenly slashed with a dagger. ”

"My eyes are gone......"

Jonas was silent, he didn't expect one-eyed eyes to be so blind, he never expected that this story would end up like this......

One-Eyed laughed self-deprecatingly, "My biggest mistake at the time was to forget that I was still on the battlefield. ”

"Your personality is similar to what I was back then, so I don't want you to repeat my mistakes. ”

"Thanks, I'll take care of it......" Jonas said, looking at the night sky.

The following is the author's nag.

Some readers may speculate about where the war-torn place in the article refers to.

That's why I specifically said that the war-torn place in this chapter belongs to alternate history, and it is a war-torn place in the world where Su Ran is located, and it has nothing to do with reality, nor does it have any meaning of mapping.
