Section 361 Gratitude
Xu Yan hesitated slightly, but still shook his head resolutely - if it was other unimportant details, he would change his tone according to Wen Xiu's intentions, this would not be much of a problem. But today Xu Yan is willing to talk frankly and in detail with Wen Xiuzhi, his purpose is to warn the country.
Regarding the question of "who is stronger in the earth world or the Ming world", it seems to be irrelevant, but it is actually very critical, if Xu Yan changes his words according to Wen Xiuzhi's meaning and says, "We are much stronger than the Ming Empire", then it is natural that the country will naturally come to such a conclusion - even a feudal Ming Dynasty can resist the invasion of monsters, then, our country is much stronger than the Ming world, with so many advanced weapons, then there is nothing to be afraid of.
I originally wanted to warn the country, but if I gave a wrong statement and misled the country, then it would be counterproductive!
Therefore, even if he knew what Wen Xiuzhi meant, Xu Yan still insisted on his own point of view: "Minister Wen, what you said is reasonable, but I still insist on my point of view - your statement is theoretically valid, but the practical problems we encounter may not be explained by theory, and the Ming world may not be the backward feudal dynasty in our imagination...... Even if it is a feudal dynasty, it is still a very powerful feudal empire!
Minister Wen, I don't object to you saying that human weapons are extremely powerful, but our human weapons tend to be lethal to matter -- for example, the cannons, tanks, missiles, and so on that you just exemplified, and the power is indeed huge, but if we encounter a spirit monster like the Dream Man, what effect can our weapons play? Last night, even if a tank division came over. No matter how fierce the artillery fire is, no matter how powerful it is. At most, it will smash Huang Dan's body, but for the dreamer who is possessed in Huang Dan's body. What else can we do?"
"Director Xu, the dreamer is afraid of fire, we can use high temperature to deal with it!"
"If you want to use high heat to deal with the dreamer, the premise is to be able to determine its location! ordinary army, can they see the dreamer?"
Xu Yan said unceremoniously: "Minister Wen, forgive me for being arrogant, I think that Lieutenant Colonel Li and I are already the top experts in the field of supernatural warfare, but even though we join forces and do our best. With Minister of Culture, you are helping to fight with a pistol, which is already the best situation, and in the end, we can only repel the dreamer!
Minister Wen, let's assume that if there was no me or Lieutenant Colonel Lee present last night, but an ordinary human army encountering the Dreamers, what would have been the result? They couldn't see the Dreamers at all, but the Dreamers could control them at any time - it would have been a one-sided slaughter!
Destroying the flesh doesn't care at all to this demon. It can change to another boarding body at any time...... For an army made up of ordinary people, it is simply invincible!"
Wen Xiuzhi's thick eyebrows frowned, he also knew that Xu Yan was telling the truth, if it wasn't for Xu Yan and Li Butian being present last night. Many of the military and police here are really helpless against the dreamer.
He muttered, "Although a pistol can't kill a dreamer, that doesn't prove that a high-powered weapon can't kill it either." Many weapons can be infused with high temperatures and radiation, for the soul body. Maybe it can do some damage? I haven't tried this kind of thing. How do you know?"
Xu Yan could hear it, although Wen Xiuzhi was still hard-mouthed. But he was clearly weak-hearted, and he was not so confident in speaking. He said in a deep voice: "Minister Wen, if you want to talk about high-tech weapons, I think of a battle example, which is a case of monsters encountering human cutting-edge weapons. ”
Wen Xiuzhi was surprised: "Have you ever had such a battle?" Immediately, he came to his senses: "Oh, you're talking about the Ginza incident in Tokyo, Japan, right?
Xu Yan said seriously: "Exactly! This is the first battle between alien creatures and our human regular army, and the video of this battle has spread all over the world.
Wen Xiuzhi was silent. With his identity and pride, of course, he couldn't open his eyes to Xu Yan and say nonsense -- at that time, an army aviation regiment of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces was almost wiped out by monsters, and the armed helicopters exploded one after another, and the whole world could see it clearly.
He said vaguely: "Actually, I think that the Self-Defense Forces still suffer a big loss because they don't know what kind of enemy they have to face, what skills the enemy has, and they don't know the enemy's attack range...... Also, after all, the Japanese are just self-defense forces, they are not a regular army, and they have congenital deficiencies in the system, which also affects their combat effectiveness......"
Wen Xiuzhi said vaguely, feeling that his reason was so ridiculous that he couldn't even convince himself: If the Japanese Self-Defense Forces don't know about the enemy situation of the monsters, then if Huaxia Kingdom is faced with the attack of the monsters, how much more does it know about the enemy situation than Japan?
Saying that Japan's Self-Defense Forces are not a regular army, so this kind of system has affected their combat effectiveness -- saying this kind of insincere nonsense, Wen Xiuzhi himself felt red: The power of missiles is determined by manufacturing technology, not by the military system. No matter what military system the Japanese use, it will not affect the power of their missiles.
As a matter of fact, insiders know that although the Japanese army is called the Self-Defense Forces, this army does not look like it is used for "self-defense" at all, and its weapons are all American-style equipment, and many weapons are more advanced than those of the Chinese capital, especially their armed helicopter and missile technology are second to none in the world.
Even such an advanced weapon suffered a big loss when it encountered a monster, so if the same monster incident happened in Huaxia and let the army of Huaxia encounter such an enemy, how much better would the ending be?
Thinking of this, Wen Xiuzhi couldn't help but feel irritated. However, he was still not angry with Xu Yan, he argued: "I think that after all, this is the first contact between the two civilizations, and in the early days, because human beings did not understand the enemy's situation, some small defeats and setbacks did not need to be taken too seriously.
I think. The process is not very important, the most important thing is to look at the outcome! In the end, we humans won the battle between the giant beast and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. Isn't that the best proof that the Self-Defense Forces finally eliminated the monster?"
Xu Yan glanced at Wen Xiu, but his eyes were strange, and Wen Xiu was stunned: "Director Xu, did I say something wrong?"
Xu Yan said euphemistically: "Minister Wen, there is something, I don't know if you have noticed?"
Since the monster incident passed, the Japanese government has not held a press conference or announced victory! According to the virtue of the Japanese government, if the Self-Defense Forces really succeeded in destroying that monster, such a big victory, their prime minister should have come out to collect votes, right?
But now, in the face of the attention of the whole of Japan and even the whole world, the Japanese government has been keeping it silent and secretive -- don't you think it's strange that the Japanese government is doing this? This doesn't seem to be their style, right?"
"Huh?"
The monster incident in Tokyo, Japan, is also an incident that the Ministry of Intelligence focuses on. In fact, Wen Xiuzhi discovered early on that after this incident, the Japanese government's behavior was indeed very strange.
It has been several days since the incident was issued, and the Japanese government issued a small announcement. Tell the people that the prime minister and the government are very concerned about the monster that has wreaked havoc in Tokyo's Ginza Town. The Cabinet's Disaster Management Center has been activated, and the Self-Defense Forces and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are conducting a comprehensive investigation into the matter. Relief efforts for people affected by the disaster in Tokyo have already begun – and then, nothing has been done.
The announcement does not mention the final whereabouts of the monster. The fact that victory was not declared to the people was really strange. At that time, Wen Xiuzhi and his colleagues still had all kinds of speculations about this, and when he heard Xu Yan bring up the old story again, he woke up in shock: "You mean, the monster is not dead, so the Japanese government still doesn't dare to declare victory?"
Xu Yan pouted: "It's hard to say whether the monster is dead or not, but at least, the Japanese government can't confirm that it's dead! It is certain that it was not the Self-Defense Forces that killed it -- otherwise, if it could be confirmed that the monster had died, the Japanese government would have issued a notice to the people a long time ago, so why should the prime minister be surrounded by the media every day to ask questions?"
"This ...... Could it be that the Japanese government wants to monopolize the remains of the monster for secret research, and does not want to share it with foreign countries, so it refuses to admit that the monster has been destroyed?"
Xu Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "Minister Wen, do you think this is possible? Even if we want to monopolize the secret, the government does not even dare to issue a notice to reassure the people, and the self-defense forces stationed in the area have not withdrawn now, but are still on alert, causing the people of Tokyo to panic and evacuate from all parts of the country, Tokyo has almost collapsed, and the economic losses are huge -- is this price too great?"
Wen Xiuzhi groaned for a while, and finally nodded slowly. He stared at Xu Yan with blazing eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "So, Director Xu, where do you think the giant beast monster in the Tokyo incident went? Is it dead?"
Xu Yan avoided Wen Xiuzhi's gaze, and he coughed dryly: "I was also in Tokyo when the monster incident happened. At that time, I heard some rumors that the giant beast was not killed by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, but that someone else killed the giant monster. ”
Hearing Xu Yan say this, Wen Xiuzhi scolded in his heart: Xu Yan, you just have to talk nonsense!
After the monster incident, whether it is the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Japan, or the national security system, the agents sent to Tokyo by various units add up to one regiment, if there are any rumors, why did you hear Xu Yan, but no one else could hear it?
Wen Xiuzhi knew that most of the so-called "rumors" were made up by someone Xu, but thinking like this, of course Wen Xiuzhi would not say it - he could also see that Xu Yan was changing his way to reveal the inside story to himself, if he broke the matter, he was afraid that Xu Yan would be scared to shrink, where could he find the inside story?
Therefore, Wen Xiuzhi could only pretend to be confused, and he asked curiously: "Oh, what are the rumors? Director Xu, you can tell us! You know, the above is very concerned about this Tokyo monster incident!"
Xu Yan lowered his eyes, and he said softly: "After the monster incident, according to your instructions from Minister of Culture, I deliberately went to Ginza to collect intelligence and information on the scene over there. At noon, I was tired from walking, so I found a place to rest. While I was drinking coffee, several Self-Defense Force officers sat next to me, and I heard them talking about how they had been ordered to search the area for the whereabouts of the monster. Because it's so hard, they complain and say a lot of weird things, huh...... From their conversation. I could hear that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces did not know the whereabouts of the giant beast. They're also looking, so. The Behemoth was definitely not killed by the Self-Defense Forces. ”
Listening to Xu Yan's words, Wen Xiuzhi kept trying to maintain a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth - otherwise, he would really laugh. Xu Yan's words look decent, but there are several fatal flaws in them: First, Xu Yan does not understand Japanese at all, can it be that those officers of the Self-Defense Forces will chat in Chinese? -- Well, even if Huang Xi listened to it and then translated it to Xu Yan. However, why did Huang Xi deliberately conceal such important information after he came back and not write it into the report?
Second: That is even more ridiculous, how could the officers of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, knowing that Ginza had become a place where spies from various countries gathered, discuss this kind of classified information in such a public place? Do they think that the news has not spread fast enough?
Although he knew that Xu Yan was full of flaws, he had no choice but to extract information from his mouth. Wen Xiuzhi could only pretend to be confused: "Ah, this news is really precious--if the monster was not killed by the Self-Defense Forces, then who is the person who killed the monster?"
Xu Yan coughed dryly. He said, "Coincidentally, when I was in Tokyo, I went to Ginza to visit materials. Once I was drinking coffee on the table behind me. There were several reporters from the Japanese media......"
"Oh, oh, oh!" Wen Xiuzhi said "oh oh". He said solemnly: "Those Japanese journalists, did they say anything?"
Seeing Wen Xiuzhi's strange expression of holding back his laughter, Xu Yan also knew that his lame excuse probably couldn't hide it from the other party, so he didn't bother to hide it, and went straight to the point: "Those reporters said that they saw with their own eyes that the one who killed that monster was a Ming monk from another dimensional space...... After the monk had killed the beast, he took its body away. Therefore, this is the reason why the Japanese government and the Self-Defense Forces have not been able to find the body of the monster and have not dared to announce the end of the incident. ”
"Yanzi, what are you talking about? Did the Japanese giant beast be killed by the monks of the Ming Dynasty in the end? The Ming Dynasty in another world really existed? Someone has already come to our side? Can you be sure about this?"
Xu Yan gave Wen Xiuzhi a roll of his eyes, and he said angrily: "How can I be sure of this kind of thing? I told you everything, I heard it from the reporter next to me when I was drinking coffee!"
That's what they said, and that's what I'm telling you...... As for whether this is true or not, Minister of Culture, if you love it, believe it, and if you don't believe it, pull it down!"
Xu Yan said it very irresponsibly, but Wen Xiuzhi knew that since Xu Yan said this, it was definitely the truth—at least the truth that Xu Yan himself believed. Because the news was so shocking, Xu Yan didn't dare to take the responsibility of releasing the news, so he could only reveal the news in the name of "rumors he heard".
"Now, where is that Ming monk? Is he still on our earth? Can we still find him?"
Looking at Wen Xiuzhi's flushed and eager appearance, Xu Yan replied lightly: "I heard from a reporter from the Japanese media that in the battle with the monster, that Ming monk fought bravely and unfortunately died...... She was already dead in battle. ”
"Ah, he died in battle?" Wen Xiuzhi looked very disappointed, and he immediately asked, "So, where did that Ming monk die in battle? Can we still find his bones and relics?"
Xu Yan pursed his lips tightly, and he felt that something warm was flowing in his eyes. He turned his head and looked at the window of the car, and he saw his own expressionless face. He said stiffly: "I heard from a reporter from the Japanese media that on Mount Marudake, in order to destroy a powerful monster that invaded the earth, that monk from the Ming Dynasty fought bravely, risked his life, and used powerful skills beyond her ability to bear, and finally caused her to be crushed to pieces, and her bones were gone, and she died with the monster...... Since then, it has disappeared into our world, and it will never be found again. ”
Wen Xiuzhi stopped asking, he looked at Xu Yan with sympathy in his eyes - he could certainly see the suppressed pain contained in Xu Yan's calm tone.
Now, as clever as he is, he has vaguely understood many things—many of the previous speculations have been slowly confirmed.
At the beginning of his acquaintance with Zhu Youxiang, he was surprised by the extraordinary beauty of this girl, she was elegant, graceful, generous, and calm, with the traditional classical temperament of Chinese women. At that time, he was already surprised, what kind of environment could cultivate an extraordinary girl like Zhu Youxiang?
Zhu Youxiang was present in several encounters with monsters - what role did she play in it?
After accompanying Xu Yan to Japan, Zhu Youxiang disappeared and was never heard from, and Xu Yan was depressed and lonely from then on.
At this time, I began to notice her: her origin was blank, and her resume and file could not be found in the country's household registration records. This mysterious woman, as if before she came into contact with Xu Yan, she didn't seem to exist in this world at all.
The mysterious woman who appeared at the scene of the Tokyo giant beast has been confirmed by the Japanese police to be Zhu Youxiang.
All the doubts were finally completely revealed today.
Oh my God, Zhu Youxiang, she is actually an ancient person from the Ming Dynasty? God, she actually met people from the Ming Dynasty face to face, she once stood in front of herself, answered with her warm words, ate at the same table, and her voice and smile seemed to be in her eyes.
Wen Xiuzhi was deeply shocked, Xu Yan didn't speak, and there was silence in the car.
After a long time, Wen Xiuzhi finally spoke, his tone was slow and solemn: "Director Xu, that monk from the Ming Dynasty, she helped us eliminate the invading monsters and eliminate a huge disaster for mankind.
Whether at home or abroad, she has saved thousands of lives, including countless Chinese people.
This is a true unsung hero, she bravely fought against evil, defended humanity, her courage, her noble character, as pure and flawless as the snow lotus on an iceberg, deserves the admiration of the whole world, forever remembered!
We, not only Huaxia, but the entire human race on earth, have endured her grace for rescue, and this kindness is too heavy to express in words. Hearing the news of her death in battle with monsters, I feel the same deep grief as you.
Unfortunately, we knew about this too late. The hero has passed away, and we really don't know how to repay her for the help she has given us, and the great favor we have endured, but I can only ask you to convey our gratitude and condolences:
No matter who she is, where she comes from, and no matter what her identity is, Huaxia will never forget and will never let down the friends who have sincerely helped us in difficult times!
If there is anything we can do for her or her loved ones, that can ease their grief a little, that can be of some help to them, please let us know, and we will do our best to repay her kindness to us!
This is our sincere commitment on the part of the Chinese Government. This promise will always work!
Please mourn and be submissive. ”
Hearing Wen Xiuzhi say these words in a solemn tone, Xu Yan couldn't bear it anymore, his nose was sore, his eyes were closed, and he felt the hot liquid flowing down his cheeks. He heard his voice say flatly: "Minister Wen, I remember, I will find a way to convey your words to-uh, those Japanese media reporters!" (To be continued.) )
