After landing from Bangkok Bay, Tang Shuxing and the others were arranged into an armored vehicle equipped with composite armor, and the lieutenant colonel who answered them said that this was for their safety, and that there were rebels hiding in the city of Bangkok, waiting for an opportunity to launch a terrorist attack on the national defense forces and religious congregation.

Tang Shu tortured them and said that in fact, this lieutenant colonel came to escort basalt.

When entering the city of Bangkok, the three people sitting in the armored car found that there was not a single car on the street, and their convoy was moving fast, but from time to time they could see children peeking out of the houses on the street, and they were dragged back by their nervous parents.

"It's the first time I've enjoyed this kind of pomp." Tang Shuxing looked outside and shook his head and said, "This is better than the treatment enjoyed by the Thai royal family, the road is closed along the way, armed guards, I don't know if there will be any other activities in the future." ”

While Tang Shuxing was talking, Ji Kefeng subconsciously covered his pocket containing basalt, worried that something like an attack would really happen or someone would come to snatch it.

The convoy that was moving fast slowed down at this time, and the four motorcycles in the front of the road were parked on the side of the road, and the special police officers in the cars got out of the car, grabbed the automatic rifles and shotguns on the side of the motorcycles, and stared at the two old vans parked in the middle of the road ahead, and did not immediately approach.

The two bulletproof armed off-road vehicles in the rear also drove slowly to the sides, facing the left and right sides in a "V" shape, closely watching the houses on both sides of the street, and the Stingray light tank, which was the backbone of the force, was parked in the middle, with the barrel facing forward, and the M240 side-by-side machine gun on one side was also aimed at the two vans.

"What's going on?" Tang Shuxing asked the lieutenant colonel who was sitting next to the operator's seat.

The lieutenant colonel was clever not to look out of the way, but because the Stingray light tank blocked the view ahead. He could only turn on the radio to let the soldiers in the armed off-road vehicles go down to check, and at the same time warn the soldiers in the two armored vehicles in the rear to be ready for battle at any time.

"There's no real attack, is it?" Ji Kefeng looked outside and touched the bayonet in his hand, because they had been tossing and turning for half a month before returning to Thailand, in order not to cause friction along the way, they had already sunk all the automatic weapons into the sea, and now they only had cold weapons in their hands.

Gu Huaiyi was next to the door, knocked on the inner wall of the armored car with his hand and said, "Not necessarily, I don't know if this thing can be hit by two rockets." ”

"If there is an attack. I would immediately escort the three of them to turn around and go the other way. Rest assured! The lieutenant colonel pulled out his pistol while examining the SAR21 assault rifle.

Tang Shuxing simply leaned there with his eyes closed and didn't say a word, he didn't doubt the strength of these soldiers, but was thinking. What they are doing is right or wrong. And what are the political demands of these so-called rebels?

The street is quiet. Two helicopters that had arrived to provide support also circled around, one belonging to the former Bangkok police and the other a light military helicopter gunship.

A SWAT officer who uses a motorcycle as a cover. After waiting for the soldiers to come down from the armed SUV, they slowly followed behind the soldiers holding shields in front of them, approached the van with their guns in hand, and at the same time shouted loudly to the rebels who might be lying in ambush around them, asking them to lay down their weapons and raise their hands and come out.

Gu Huaiyi, who was sitting in the armored car, heard the shouts outside, looked at the nervous lieutenant colonel, and suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, and made a sound similar to an explosion, which startled the lieutenant colonel, and then Gu Huaiyi covered his stomach and laughed.

Lieutenant Colonel Tie blushed, he didn't dare to be angry, and he didn't dare to look directly at Gu Huaiyi, he knew who this General Gu was, and he also knew how many men and horses he had, not to mention that he was still an important figure in the Shangdu Federal Republic today.

"Turn the probe on!" The lieutenant colonel motioned to the operator to turn on the monitoring probe at the top of the armored vehicle.

After opening it, the lieutenant colonel looked at the screen in front of him, staring at the two groups of military police on the left and right approaching the van, and the sweat on his forehead slowly dripped down.

"Don't shoot!" Finally, a childish voice came from the front of the van, and the lieutenant colonel immediately ordered the advancing military police to stop and watch out for a possible attack.

A minor monk dressed in a wide robe walked out with his hands folded, fearless in the face of the countless muzzles and the barrels of tanks.

"Stop! Don't move! Don't take another half step forward! Otherwise we will use lethal force! The soldier with the shield in front shouted, in fact, the soldier was saving the monk and saving himself, because in Thai men they become monks once in their lives, no one can be an exception, and everyone has great respect for monks.

The young monk stopped and looked straight ahead, as if he could see through the tank the armored vehicle where Tang Shuxing and the others were.

"My home is gone." The monk spoke, loud, but not deafening, and it didn't sound like a roar, but the whole convoy could hear it clearly.

The lieutenant colonel frowned and looked at the screen, and said by radio: "Watch the guns in your hands, don't go off, let him continue." ”

"My home is gone," the young monk continued...... "Our temple has been destroyed by them, and they say that there are only three true gods in this world, and that there are only three true gods in this world, and that there should be no other faith, which is not true." ”

The young monk didn't say anything too deep in his words, maybe because he was too young, or maybe he wanted to say just that, but it was just a simple sentence that reached the ears of these former Thai government soldiers like a needle in the heart.

The full-scale invasion of Shandu shattered the original faith of the country in a very short period of time, many people converted to Shandu, some had to join because they wanted to save their lives, and the monks who still held out in the temples remained silent, still opening their doors to welcome those who were willing to come and go.

Not only in Thailand, but also in other occupied areas of Southeast Asia, although the Shangdu high-level did not issue any order to ban other religions, the believers claimed that the only true gods in the world were Shangdu Sanjie, and all other religions should disappear completely, so they began to destroy temples, burn objects of other religions, and force monks to return to the world.

The fact that a sect that does not even have a self-contained religious literature can deceive people's minds to such a point in such a short period of time is enough to show how terrifying it is to still have it.

The young monk just repeated the words, and then sat cross-legged in the middle of the road, his hands folded and his eyes closed, his voice changing from high to low.

The soldiers, who were only seven or eight meters away from the monk, were completely at a loss, and although they were also forced to change their faith, the faith in their hearts was still exactly the same as that of the young monk in front of them.

The lieutenant colonel finally couldn't bear it anymore, opened the door and got out of the car, walked towards the monk with a gun, handed over the assault rifle in his hand to a special police officer when he was about to arrive, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and whispered to the monk: "Go back, we have a mission, if you have any demands, you can go to the secret envoy." ”

The monk slowly opened his eyes and said, "That's your secret envoy, not mine, I can only ask the Buddha, I am begging the Buddha." ”

The lieutenant colonel paused, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said again: "Young man, the Buddha is gone, the Buddha is gone, if the Buddha is still there, today's Thailand will not be reduced to this appearance!" ”

"The Buddha is here! In your heart and mine, it's just that you don't want to admit it. The monk said again.

The lieutenant colonel got up, boldly walked to the car in front of him, saw that there were no explosives in the car, turned around and waved two soldiers forward, carried the monk to the side of the road, sat there and chanted, and then let the convoy go again.

The monk did not do anything drastic, he just meditated on the side of the road, but this time he did not close his eyes, but looked at the cars passing in front of him, and said something in his mouth, but no one knew what he said or what scriptures he recited.

The three Tang Shuxing, who were sitting in the armored car, looked at the monk from the observation hole, and judged from the immature face that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and he was still a child, what gave him so much courage to dare to stop the military convoy alone, trying to awaken the faith that was sleeping in the memories of these soldiers.

Yes, their faith now exists only in memory.

"When a monk strikes a bell for a day." Gu Huaiyi looked at the monk who was getting farther and farther away from the armored car, "He's actually fighting." ”

"Fight your heart." Ji Kefeng was still holding the bag containing basalt, "It works, but it's not on the surface." ”

"Sooner or later—" Tang Shuxing shook his head.

"Sooner or later?" Ji Kefeng asked.

"Resist." Tang Shuxing looked outside and said, "The calmer it is, the more terrifying it is, your suppression of people's behavior can't really stir up anything, but if even other people's hearts have to be changed and suppressed, once it breaks out, it will be terrible, such things have emerged in human history, how could Reinhardt be so smart, how could he do such a stupid thing." ”

"Being strong can lead to people being blinded by the ephemeral scenery in front of them." Gu Huaiyi sat down again, "A leaf covers your eyes, and you can't see Mount Tai." ”

"Lieutenant Colonel! Where do we go now? Tang Shuxing asked the lieutenant colonel, but the lieutenant colonel was just staring at the floor of the armored car in a daze, and Tang Shuxing asked three times before he reacted.

"Meet the Secret Envoy." The lieutenant colonel took a deep breath and barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and it was customary to smile at the mention of the secret envoy, as if he had to kneel down and pray immediately when he thought of God.

"Where is he?" Tang Shuxing asked again.

"Dam!" The lieutenant colonel replied simply, and if he didn't speak, Tang Shuxing didn't know what to do, looking at the appearance of the lieutenant colonel, he must be both contradictory and uncomfortable in his heart, and he was suffering.

After the convoy crossed the city, traffic resumed again, and the streets suddenly began to be lively, and the people who went out as if nothing had happened, what to do and what to do, the so-called resistance, the so-called rebels seemed to be just the fantasy in the hearts of the lieutenant colonel and others.

"Are they numb?" Ji Kefeng got out of the armored car and looked at the streets behind him that suddenly became lively.

"In the final analysis, what do ordinary people live for?" Gu Huaiyi stretched his waist beside him, "For a bite to eat, to live, now that they are alive, there is still food and drink, plus there is nothing to be done about the status quo, so let's continue." (To be continued......)
