March 10, 2025, 8:30 a.m., Utsunomiya, Japan, ruins abound, and fragmented rotting corpses are all over the ground. This is the third month of the year when Japan is alone and stubbornly carrying the eight crows, but the bloody facts tell them: Japan is already at the end of its strong crossbow.

"We ...... There is no room left. An old man, who was half covered in bandages and spilling blood, gasped heavily, as if every word had exhausted all his strength, "That's a demon...... Evils created by right-wing forces. The heat weapon doesn't work, and the flesh and blood of the Yamato nation feed it, devouring us like an earthbound spirit. ”

"The rulers of the Japanese chaebol are fleeing to death, Yamato nation, what do we have left?" The old man's eyes were already blurred, and he used the remaining half of his right hand to caress his severed left arm, but he only felt a sticky bloody hand, "Believe, we...... What's left? ”

"What are you fighting? What can we do but wait to die? ”

The man in his early twenties was silent for a moment, then suddenly solemnly knelt down in front of the old man, and pressed down his straight spine reverently: "Grandpa, please don't be depressed! The Yamato nation will not be defeated like this! We still have 30,000 soldiers, 20,000 survivors, more than 300 leaders, please ...... Allow me to solemnly ask to die on the battlefield! I will shed the last drop of blood for the nation! ”

He kowtowed heavily, and tears overflowed in his eyes: "Grandpa, our Saito family has never been a coward who gave up!" Could you please ...... Don't be like that! Zhou Yan's predecessor once told me that as a soldier, it is my birthright to protect my family and defend the country! Even if I'm in a different country from my predecessors. But our duties are all the same! ”

"I'm Nobu Saito, and I'm the chief of the military department. There is no reason to retreat, let alone defeat without a fight. Saito slowly straightened his spine. His eyes looked at the old man firmly, and he said slowly, "What is the Saito family's creed, I guess grandpa understands it better than me." You once said that we, the descendants of the Saito family, must first become 'Saito' before we can be ourselves. ”

"Every head of the family is the most responsible child after layers of selection, since grandpa has been the head of the family for decades, he must know better than anyone what the 'sense of responsibility' is! But why? Why forget your creed at this time! Your principles! The belief that you have always carried out! ”

"Could it be the appearance of the eight crows. Don't you even dare to die standing up? ”

Tears welled up from the corners of Saito's eyes, and the moment he said the word "death", he clearly noticed a glimmer of light in the old man's cloudy eyes, like a spark burning in the dark, bright and clear.

He knew that according to the old man's injuries, he wouldn't survive tonight, but he didn't want the elders he respected since childhood to die miserably in the dilapidated Utsunomiya with a full of pockets, instead of dying on the battlefield of the nation with the attitude that the old man had always hoped for!

I still remember when I was a child learning chess in a spacious and quiet Japanese-style room. The old man smiled at what he said:

[Faith, as a man, as a soldier, you must have the consciousness of dying on the battlefield. Grandpa is old. If there was such a day...... Hahaha, I really want to die happily! 】

[Is Grandpa a stupid? Why do you say death? Grandpa can't do that! 】

[Faith, people will always die.] From birth to termination, we have only freedom. It is to choose the way that belongs to oneself to die. 】

[Don't understand? What is Grandpa talking about? 】

[Haha, just remember the letter.] That's the freedom of grandpa's choice. 】

Freely......

At that time, he didn't understand it, until he gradually grew up, and with the glorious surname "Saito", he gradually lost the freedom he slowly understood.

As the heir of the Saito family, all his duties became a prison that bound him, and it was at that moment that he truly understood why those in power felt that "death" was the only freedom.

"Oh, Xin, you really ...... Grew up. The old man sighed and stretched out his damaged palm, gently covering the top of his head, his old face curled his eyebrows, and seemed to smile happily, "Letter, I understand...... So, is it okay to promise grandpa one thing? ”

Time flashed back at this moment, Saito Shin seemed to return to the Japanese room again, the old man's gentle and generous palm gently touched his head, and the small light flowed in those deep and wise eyes, as gentle as the clearest stream on Mt. Fuji.

"Promise Grandpa to live well. also promised grandpa, after grandpa died in battle...... Take the soldiers who are loyal to you and go to China. The old man's muddy tears fell, and he sighed lowly, "You also know, the right wing is a dog who dares not to be, and the rest are all powerful people who see the wind and steer the rudder." After Grandpa dies, they're probably going to do something to you, so ......"

"Grandpa!" Saito's eyes widened in shock, and he said helplessly, "Go to Huaxia? To go at this time? This is...... Treason! ”

"It doesn't matter if you are treason or not...... Faith, this is the last days, grandpa only asks you to live. The old man smiled, his breath calm and serene, "Put down the qiē you are carrying and start again!" Japan, which has begun to rot from the inner core, is also just in time for a new life. Sometimes, leaving is not a betrayal. Faith, sooner or later you will understand. ”

"Grandpa......"

"In this life, I live a very tired life...... the old man covered his eyes with his palms, then relaxed his body and slowly lay down on the bloodstained floor, "Chizuruko, I seem to see you." Still love the salmon you make...... I said don't put wasabi, Chizuruko, I hate wasabi and I want to cry when I eat it...... Thousand Cranes, Thousand Cranes, Thousand Cranes......"

"Chizuruko, you say, dead man...... Will they meet? ”

Tears poured down, and after saying goodbye, Saito Shin ran wildly along the corridor that was almost sparsely bombarded by artillery fire, and the wind with gunpowder smoke dried the tears that had slid down their cheeks, and he looked up at the gloom that could not be waved away from the high heavens of Japan, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a miserable smile.

The more critical the moment, the more powerful the high-level is turning, how many young and promising soldiers have been pushed into the beast mouth of the eight crows because they are on the wrong side and unwilling to be controlled by the older generation; how many young and beautiful girls have been put into the beds of those in power because they have lost their asylum; how many children and the elderly die of hunger because they don't have food; How many people are there...... I really want to revive Japan, not to vent hysteria before I die!

Japan...... Is this how you who I gave my life to save are in return for my efforts?

We are the Saito family. Every life, every generation, every generation has abided by their duties, so why are they still unwilling to let us go? I don't want to stop there!

Grandpa, grandma, father, mother...... How much flesh and blood did the Saito family give. But it can't get your sobriety! I thought that the betrayal of the right-wing forces would make you feel so long, but I didn't expect it to be after the successive defeats in the battles. In desperation, you will vent your fears on the civilians!

[Promise grandpa, after grandpa dies in battle...... Take the soldiers who are loyal to you and go to China! 】

Going to Huaxia? As a traitor? And Huaxia, can you really accept him?

Saito Shin froze in place, not returning to his senses for a long time.

At the other end, in the "Rongguang" base, the military department, and the highest conference room, because the "Poseidon" base on Hainan Island suddenly sent a special plane to "Rongguang" overnight. He also brought the well-known veteran general Lu Gesheng, and for a time the "glory" high-level was very shaken, and a large number of soldiers with military ranks were hurriedly sent to greet him to show his respect.

It's a pity that the old general doesn't seem to appreciate it.

"Don't chirp, the old man doesn't have time to listen to your idle talk today." As soon as Lu Gesheng came to the "glory", he immediately turned against the guest, and sat on the main seat with a golden sword, and the momentum was very heavy. "The old man is here today just to meet the stranger of your base, Yun Mo, yes, that's the name! Bring it on. I'm going to ask her something. ”

Cloud, cloud, cloud...... Also, bring it with you...... Also, still ask?

Everyone twitched the corners of their mouths, and immediately shrank their heads and stood in place, silently plucking out their ears. Dummy up.

Joke! Yun Mo, they can't afford to mess with him!

That aunt and grandmother, don't look at people cold. His temper is not much better than Xiao Chen's, and he is expressionless when he takes a knife to your head. Every time they see her, they will always subconsciously touch their necks, but anyone who touches that piece of meat is still there, they may be so happy.

"What's wrong? You think the old man is about to enter the coffin and can't shout, do you? They forgot that the temper of this old general Lu Gesheng was not very good, "Let you call someone, why are you still staying where you are?" When the target is given to the old man? ”

"No, it's not, old general, it's just ......"

"It's just that the person you're looking for isn't at the base for the time being." A man in a military coat suddenly walked in at the door, he walked in from the outside to the inside unhurriedly, and after politely greeting the old general, he pulled a chair and slowly sat down opposite the old general, "Old general, Yun Mo She just went to Shanghai to do a mission, it is estimated that you will not see her in a short time." ”

Lu Gesheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" The old man hasn't seen you? Can you speak on behalf of this base? ”

"Huh." The colonel of the military department chuckled, and said in a tone that was still unhurried, "My surname is He, my name is Tazhu, a native of Yangzhou, born in a scholarly family, and his current military rank is colonel, serving as the executor of the 'Glory' base. ”

"Who is the family in Yangzhou?" Lu Gesheng flashed for a while, and after a while, his face eased a lot, "It turned out to be from the He family...... The old man suffered a defeat and fled all the way to Yangzhou with injuries, it was still a snowy day, I remember when I was about to die, a lady took me in and hid me in the hot kang, so as to save me from freezing to death. ”

"Later, I heard that she is the nurse of the grandson of the He family in Yangzhou......" Lu Gesheng's eyes looked at Colonel He slightly warmer, and said, "In this way, I still owe you a life, old man!" (To be continued......)
