Lin Aiwen heard the conversation between the two and asked in surprise, "Do you know each other?"

"Of course I know! And it's very familiar!" Pang Jindong sat on the sofa, didn't look at Lin Aiwen, just stared at Colonel Song Shuang.

Lin Aiwen cast an inquiring glance at Colonel Song Shuang, who smiled and told her, "I think the story between us should be told by Jerry, or Captain Pang." Of course, this premise is that Jerry doesn't mind letting other people know our story. ”

Pang Jindong was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly to Lin Aiwen: "This is Colonel Song Shuang, the most vicious war criminal of the Khmer Rouge! You won't imagine how many people he has killed, and you don't know the history he was involved in! Before you were born, the criminal regime he was loyal to had already disappeared!"

Although Colonel Song Shuang never expected that the place where Lin Aiwen asked him to meet was Pang Jindong's home, his expression was always calm, and he did not show any surprise at all. It wasn't until Pang Jindong gave such a definition of the Khmer Rouge that Colonel Song Shuang showed a slight displeasure and corrected, saying, "The Khmer Rouge is a great innovation in human history, and it is also the most magnificent ideal. It seeks to eliminate any class distinctions and oppression, so that the people can live happily and contentedly in general. Therefore, it is definitely not an 'evil regime' as attacked by the imperialists, so why would Jerry, as a young man who grew up under the red flag, accept the decadent and declining imperialist ideology?"

Pang Jindong asked: "Do you think that imperialism is decadent and declining, why is it that people are becoming more and more developed, but Democratic Kampuchea has collapsed?"

"That's because the purge was not carried out thoroughly enough, the hostile elements were not completely eliminated mentally and physically, and the purification of the people was not completed. ”

"A third of the population of Cambodia has died at your hands, how do you want to purify it? Let the people starve and then engage in your own so-called doctrine?"

"How do you know that it was the Khmer Rouge that killed a third of Cambodians?

Colonel Song Shuang admitted that there had been a purge, but he did not admit that there had been a massacre. Although there is no essential difference between the two, Colonel Song Shuang has raised questions about the specific figures. This question is precisely critical, because so far, almost all the news about the Red Cambodian massacre has been disclosed by Westerners. And within the Western camp, there are also many people who question the authenticity of the Holocaust.

Pang Jindong replied: "Many things are not necessarily proved by seeing them with your own eyes, and if you have not seen what the moon is like, it does not mean that human beings are not capable of landing on the moon." At least I know that the mass graves, the layers of bones, are not made up. ”

"Cambodia has had difficult times, so a lot of people are dying of hunger, and that's true. But you can't blame it all on the so-called Holocaust. ”

"But wasn't the famine caused by your mistakes?"

"Your country has had difficult times in its history!"

At this point, the issue could not be further discussed, and Pang Jindong had no choice but to say: "The mass graves are not all people who have starved to death, and there are also innocent people who have been brutally killed! Many trees on the side of the pit still have some teeth deeply embedded in them, not to mention that you don't know what is going on! That was left when you picked up the children, hit their heads on the trees and fell to their deaths. ”

"Every great change in the history of mankind has been accompanied by tremendous sacrifices! In particular, the objective environment in Cambodia has created a large number of land-rich and anti-bad rightists, including compradors of former colonialists, lackeys of hostile forces such as Vietnam, spies of imperialist countries, and renegades and right-leaning elements......

"According to your statement, there are no good people in Cambodia! I really feel sorry for you as a Cambodian!"

Colonel Song Shuang said word by word: "Eliminating all bad elements and completing a makeover of Cambodia is the sacred mission entrusted to the Khmer Rouge by history and the people. ”

"The people, you dare to speak on behalf of the people!" Pang Jindong laughed out loud and said disdainfully: "But, are the people willing to be represented by you?"

Colonel Song Shuang looked at Pang Jindong, the haze on his face suddenly disappeared, and he laughed and said, "Jerry is not Cambodian, how do you know what the Cambodian people think?"

"I don't know what the Cambodian people think, but I know that the Cambodian people have overthrown you!"

"When Democratic Kampuchea regains its foothold in Indochina, you'll know what the Cambodian people really think. ”

Pang Jindong sneered and asked, "Do you think you can do it?"

"There is a sentence in the Analects: 'Do what you know you can't do.'" ”

"There is a sentence in "Mencius": 'Holding Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea, it is not impossible to do it, it is not possible'. ”

Many of these topics that Pang Jindong and Colonel Song Shuang argued about were things that Lin Aiwen couldn't understand, and she wasn't interested in understanding. Seeing that the two of them were talking more and more intensely, she hurriedly came out to play a round and said to Pang Jindong: "You haven't sued me yet, how did you know Colonel Song Shuang!"

"After the fall of the Khmer Rouge, the main war criminals either died or were brought to court, but Colonel Song Shuang escaped. We were once hired to hunt down Colonel Song Shuang......"

Colonel Song Shuang smiled indifferently, interrupted Pang Jindong's words, and at the same time made a dismount: "In your mercenary career, there have been a few failures, and I am honored to be able to cause you the biggest one." ”

Pang Jindong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and recalled the original scene. After a while, Pang Jindong said word by word: "If I am given another chance, I will not miss it!"

"I believe it! In fact, you almost caught me at that time!" Colonel Song Shuang smiled and said with relief, "But you don't have such a chance anymore, because you can return to your own country, and live in seclusion like this means that you want to say goodbye to your original life." I don't believe you'd give up your original purpose for me. ”

Pang Jindong smiled helplessly, admitting that Colonel Song Shuang's understanding of his psychology was very accurate: "You are right. ”

"And you are a mercenary, whoever gives you money, you fight for. In other words, you won't do anything good without benefits. My enemies will come after me if you give you money, and if I give you money, you will help me to achieve great ideals. Now that you've gotten rid of that identity, there's no longer anything between us. ”

"You're right!" Pang Jindong stood up, made a gesture of inviting outward, and said, "In that case, I don't want to see you in my home, and I don't want you to appear in my field of vision in the future." ”

"Today's business, bother. Colonel Song Shuang stood up and told Sù Lin Aiwen: "In view of the current situation, it seems that the cooperation between us cannot be reached. But I can still recommend a good partner to you, as long as he can say yes,......" Colonel Song Shuang said, pointing at Pang Jindong, and then staggered away.

Lin Aiwen looked very disappointed, but she didn't say anything, just watched Colonel Song Shuang leave.

Looking at Colonel Song Shuang's back, Pang Jindong's heart suddenly swelled with a feeling: "He is old......

People who don't know Colonel Song Shuang often think that this executioner should be full of flesh and a fierce look. In fact, the real Colonel Song Shuang is a middle-aged man of medium height and thin body, who is always tepid when he speaks, and in any case, his demeanor is calm and calm, giving people a very Sven feeling. No one would have thought of him as the butcher with his hands covered in blood.

However, under the cover of such an appearance, Colonel Song Shuang is shrewd and cunning, and scheming. He has an extensive and well-informed intelligence network, and he can be the first to know about anything he cares about. He always seemed to be blessed by the god of luck, never disguised himself or hid everywhere, but no one was able to catch him. Even when he was most severely wanted, he still swaggered in and out of many places, and this amazing courage made Pang Jindong impressed.

It was such an opponent that completely failed the Blood Lion Mercenary Group's round-up plan in the first place.

After Colonel Song Shuang left, Lin Aiwen dismissed her subordinates and explained to Pang Jindong very embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were enemies......

Pang Jindong shook his head and corrected: "To be precise, he and I are not enemies, it's just that the two countries are fighting each other, each with its own master." In fact, despite the difference in opinions, I still admire him in a certain way. ”

"Because of his remarkable ability and astonishing courage?"

Not only that, but also because of his perseverance in the pursuit of ideals, although his ideals seem wrong to us, but he himself has no regrets, giving up a comfortable life and putting himself in all kinds of dangers. This kind of spirit is very valuable in today's materialistic society. After a pause, Pang Jindong continued: "But on the other hand, I often reflect on what kind of significance his pursuit has for him personally. Zhuangzi said: 'Those who have attained the love of life do not do what they do for life. Those who have reached the love of life are helpless if they do not fulfill their lives. ’”

Lin Aiwen interrupted Pang Jindong's words and asked stumblingly: "What kind of life do you say...... What is the fate...... What do you mean?"

This means that those who are truly aware of the truth of life do not pursue unnecessary things in life. Those who understand the truth of fate do not pursue the helpless things in fate. Pang Jindong glanced at Lin Aiwen helplessly, and continued: "These two kinds of consciousness are obviously not possessed by Colonel Song Shuang. So I wondered whether I should follow the teachings of the sages or pursue what I wanted but couldn't achieve, as he did. ”
