Chapter 100: Crossing the Brazier

"But ......" Kim Jin-woo dragged out a long voice and asked, "The army is still the same army, and the people are still those people, will the change of political system have such a big impact?"

"Of course..."Pang Jindong nodded vigorously and analyzed further: "MD soldiers now generally believe that the war is for those generals... And those generals are autocratic and dictatorial, corrupt and incompetent, and the soldiers are not at all satisfied ... What's worse is that if the battle is won, the credit belongs to the general, and if the battle is lost, the responsibility belongs to the soldier... But if MD becomes a democracy, it means that ordinary soldiers and ordinary people become the masters of the country, and at least have the right to choose a leader they want, instead of passively accepting the imposed Führer... Think about it, is fighting for your own country the same as fighting for the government of the generals?"

Jin Zhenyu thought for a moment and nodded: "Makes sense." ”

"If this is the case, not only will the combat strength of the government army be strengthened......" Taking a deep breath, Pang Jindong said worriedly: "What is even more worrying is that the attitude of international public opinion towards the Kokang War will also change..."

"Why?"

"There is an innate aversion to dictatorships in Western societies that they will go all out to prop up any opposition to dictatorships, whatever they may be, on the grounds that dictatorships do not respect the will of the people... But whatever the democratic MD does, it can be seen as the will of the people, and it is difficult for Western countries to raise objections anymore ... Because Western countries often go against a government, but not often against the people of a country as a whole, and there have only been very few cases in history like the Serbs..."

Jin Zhenyu looked at Pang Jindong and did not express his opinion on these words, but sighed: "You really have insight..."

"Actually, these are not big theories, it's just that the generals of the junta are used to a rotten environment and will not have any progressive ideas ... Even if they realize it, they don't want to face it, because they want to protect their vested interests..."After a moment of silence, Pang Jindong said without worry: "But in a corrupt environment, it is not possible to make progress, if this person has outstanding talents, coupled with a certain spirit of dedication and sacrifice, then it is completely possible to change this environment..."

"Like Lieutenant General Ava?"

"Yes..."

may not agree with Pang Jindong's previous analysis, but Jin Zhenyu still agrees with these words.

It is recalled that before the liberation, many officials and soldiers of the old government resolutely threw themselves into the revolution because they realized the corruption and degeneration of the system.

"That is to say......" Jin Zhenyu pursed his lips and slowly proposed: "Lieutenant General Ava was born within the system, but he would rather give up his own interests and fight for the interests of more people..."

"I can only say that there is this possibility..."Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "It's still too early to say, let's see how the situation will develop next, maybe Lieutenant General Ava is not as selfless as I imagined, and it is more likely that he has not done anything at all... Because the junta has developed a complete and solid system, from top to bottom, covering all strata and the whole of society, and it will not allow anyone to make any changes..."

"Then let's wait and see..."Jin Zhenyu looked at Pang Jindong and stopped talking.

Pang Jindong noticed Jin Zhenyu's expression and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else?"

"There's a question, I wanted to ask you just now......"

"Please ......"

Jin Zhenyu took a few deep breaths, thought about the wording for a while, and then asked, "What would you do if you didn't get fair treatment this time?"

"Do you mean, I'm still loyal to my country?"

Jin Zhenyu saw that Pang Jindong had already said it through, so he simply admitted calmly: "Yes..."

"My attitude towards this country is not about whether some people treat me well or badly, but because my blood is closely linked to this land, so I want this country to have a better tomorrow......"

"It's best if you think so......"

"Moreover, I still have such confidence that our country and people have a characteristic, that is, they can always find and correct mistakes in time, and can learn enough experience and lessons from them..."Pang Jindong shook his head with a smile, and said with some emotion: "Speaking of this, many people may not believe it, it is because they have not thought about why several ancient civilizations in the world have collapsed, but we are the only ones who have stood here for thousands of years... After several invasions by strong foreign enemies, it was still able to rise again..."

Jin Zhenyu was infected by Pang Jindong's affection, and nodded very hard: "That's right..."

"To put it bluntly, if we hadn't had two strikes, our country and our nation would have been doomed hundreds of years ago... So speaking in this way, being able to find and reflect on one's own shortcomings is not one of the most important specialties..."Pang Jindong said this, raising his head high: "I believe that one day, we will look down on the whole world, just like a thousand years ago..."

Jin Zhenyu laughed: "If that's really the case, I'm willing to die..."

The two chatted a few more words, and Pang Jindong hurried home, but he was startled as soon as he entered the door.

Led by Tang Yun and Pang Wushuang, everyone lined up neatly in two rows in front of the door, looking at Pang Jindong with a solemn expression. Each person has a tree bar in his hand with a lot of green leaves growing on it.

Pang Jindong was stunned: "You ...... What's wrong with you?"

As soon as Pang Jindong's words fell, everyone rushed over and slapped Pang Jindong's body with tree sticks.

"Hey... Feed... What are you going to do?" Pang Jindong kept dodging, but he was still photographed a lot, but everyone didn't use any force, so it didn't hurt at all.

"This is a grapefruit leaf, which is used to ward off evil spirits and drive away bad luck..."Pang Wushuang explained while fighting: "Brother, you have been too unlucky recently, you should find a way to transfer it..."

"What are you kidding?" finally waited for everyone to stop, Pang Jindong finally got rid of it, and said dissatisfiedly: "If a few leaves can play any role, I will pull a train and send it to the battlefield..."

Tang Yun smiled: "Sometimes, it's not okay not to believe in evil..."

"Cut..." Pang Jindong spit out the word like a girl, and then walked towards the villa, only to find that the matter was not over.

There is a large basin in the courtyard with a roaring charcoal fire in it, and you can feel the scorching heat if you get closer.

Pang Jindong asked in surprise: "It won't be for me to cross the brazier, right?"

"Brother, you're so smart..."Pang Wushuang patted Pang Jindong's shoulder, and said with a solemn expression: "Charm and spirit, one fire and two breaks." Woe to the blessing, peace and security. ”

Practices such as pomelo leaves and braziers are prevalent in the south, while in the north they are only found in some rural areas.

Pang Jindong is a northerner and has lived abroad for many years, so he doesn't know much about these, but he remembers that he seems to have seen similar scenes in TV series.

Although Pang Wushuang's ancestors are from the north, they live in MD all the year round, so they are naturally influenced by the customs of the south of the country, and a considerable number of people in the Kokang Republic Army are from the southern coastal areas, so she herself believes in these things.

Seeing Pang Jindong standing there without moving, Pang Wushuang urged: "It's all for your good, hurry up and cross it..."

Pang Jindong said with a sad face: "I can step over, but this fire is too strong..."

"The more prosperous, the better..."

"Nonsense..."

"Oops..."Pang Wushuang saw that his hard work was about to be in vain, so he was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "You have even drilled through the rain of bullets, why are you still afraid of a brazier?"

"That's different..."Pang Jindong wanted to tell Pang Wushuang that although the war was terrible, it would not burn the crotch of his pants, and the fire that Pang Wushuang ordered was enough to give himself a surgical operation on the spot. However, considering that Pang Wushuang is not familiar with the affairs of men and women, Pang Jindong did not say this.

Pang Wushuang pushed Pang Jindong: "What are you waiting for..."

Tang Yun saw Pang Jindong's embarrassment, and instructed Liao Chenghao with a smile: "I think this fire is indeed too strong, you better pour some water..."

Liao Chenghao nodded: "Okay..."

Liao Chenghao was completely forced by Pang Wushuang to participate, because he knew very well that Pang Jindong did not believe in evil, so he was worried that these arrangements would anger Pang Jindong.

Tang Yun's words undoubtedly gave a chance to show his innocence, so Liao Chenghao hurriedly did so, but he had to go too far, and he got too much water and put out the fire.

"Damn..."Pang Wushuang stomped his feet a few times and accused Liao Chenghao: "What are you doing nonsense?"

"I ......" Liao Chenghao spread his hands and looked at Tang Yun as if asking for help.

Tang Yun coughed twice and said, "Since the fire is extinguished, I don't think I'll step over..."

"It's even more unlucky if the fire is extinguished..."Pang Wushuang shook his head and said categorically: "So you have to cross, and you have to cross it well..."

"I said......" Pang Jindong wanted to dissuade Pang Wushuang, but Pang Wushuang didn't listen at all, and disappeared as soon as he slipped away, and came back with a bigger basin in a blink of an eye.

Pang Wushuang had obviously made sufficient preparations a long time ago, poured half a bag of charcoal into the basin, and then began to pour gasoline again.

"You're going to set it on fire..."Pang Jindong hurriedly grabbed Pang Wushuang and said almost pleadingly: "It's almost enough..."

"Okay..."Pang Wushuang didn't want his brother to get hurt, so he immediately put away the gasoline, then struck a match and threw it into the basin.

Just hearing the sound of "bang", a fireball immediately erupted in the basin, billowing black smoke came out, and many sparks were splashed from time to time.

Pang Wushuang looked at the fireball and shook his head: "The quality of this charcoal is too poor, it is not smokeless..."

"In that case, you better keep the barbecue, I'm going to take a shower first..."Pang Jindong said and was about to walk into the house, but was hugged by Pang Wushuang from behind.

"Brother, it's all for your own good, just listen to your sister once..."Pang Wushuang said eagerly as he pushed Pang Jindong towards the brazier.

Pang Jindong's strength is of course greater than Pang Wushuang's, but for fear of accidentally hurting his sister, Pang Jindong didn't dare to struggle too hard, and was pushed forward step by step.

But like this, Pang Wushuang was also tired and out of breath, she looked at the others and urged: "What are you all waiting for, come and help me..."

When everyone heard this, it was like hearing the command to turn back, and they turned their heads as if nothing had happened.

But there is one exception, and that is He Yue.

As a man, he knew the damage that might be caused by crossing the brazier, but he was even more afraid of Pang Wushuang, so he ran over to help push Pang Jindong together.

Pang Jindong pointed at He Yue's nose and reprimanded: "He Yue, your kid has no interest, and he became tracheitis before he got married..."

He Yue said with a sad face: "Brother, I can't help it, just forgive me..."

"Forgive you?

"Don't worry, I will definitely burn seven for you, and I will definitely incense you on the fifteenth day of the new year... You can go with peace of mind, and bless the whole family with peace and peace, the prince and the prince, the abundant harvest of the five grains, and the prosperity of the six animals......"

Pang Jindong was stunned when he heard this: "Where did you, a banana man, learn these words?"

Pang Wushuang was not happy, and knocked heavily on He Yue's head: "What nonsense are you talking about, it seems that my brother is going to die...... Bah... Bah... Bah... Without restraint... Good luck ......" Pang Wushuang realized that he had lost his words, and spat several times before he continued: "My brother who made you say seems to be going to do something..."

Where did He Yue dare to argue with Pang Wushuang, so he had to push it harder.

Pang Jindong was stunned just now, and his strength slackened, and he was taken advantage of by Pang Wushuang and He Yue, and he was pushed to the edge of the brazier at once.

Pang Jindong felt that his skin was about to be roasted, and seeing that he had to cross it, he had to take out the greatest explosive power in his life and shoot it with an arrow.

Pang Wushuang clapped his hands and jumped high with joy: "Okay, good, good luck..."

"Alright... It's okay..."Pang Jindong had a gloomy face, and then entered the living room.

Pang Wushuang was about to follow in, when he suddenly sniffed a few times vigorously and asked strangely, "Do you smell a smell of barbecue?"

He Yue smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?"

"You said I scorched my brother?" Pang Wushuang shook his head and said confidently: "No, my brother's body is strong, this little flame is nothing..."

He Yue whispered: "No matter how strong a man is, there are places of vulnerability..."

Pang Wushuang's eyes widened, and he asked curiously, "Where?"

"Oh......" He Yue hesitated for a moment, and then pointed to his chest: "Heart..."

The others didn't have He Yue's patience, and they definitely wouldn't say so much to Pang Wushuang, they just gave Pang Wushuang a blank look, and then followed Pang Jindong in.

Pang Jindong sat on the sofa with his butt, felt a faint pain underneath, and couldn't help but sigh.

Tang Yun saw Pang Jindong's pain, walked over and asked in a low voice with a smile, "Are you okay?"

Pang Jindong pursed his lips uncomfortably: "It's very good..."

Tang Yun smiled and asked, "Don't you go to the bath?"
