Chapter 1: Guns and Olive Branches
At 3 p.m. on August 26, 1972, the XXTIETH Olympic Games officially opened in Munich, West Germany.
The Games cost more than previous editions, and are large-scale, state-of-the-art, with new sports venues.
It was hailed as "a grand event of peace and joy".
……
The second day of the opening ceremony.
Wang Feng went to Munich with his parents to watch the Olympics and bought tickets a month in advance.
The family arrived in the audience early, and yesterday's game was wonderful, which made them look forward to today's Olympic Games even more.
"Dad, why are the Olympics being held in Munich, Federal Germany, and not in Beijing, China?"
Ten-year-old Wang Feng looked at the black and white spiral emblem, pulled the corner of Wang Jiangui's clothes, and asked.
"Son, it is very difficult for the country to apply for the right to host the Olympic Games, and it must first meet the good bidding conditions, and then the Olympic Bidding Committee will officially submit the application report to the IOC, and finally run for ......."
"Do you want to run for election?"
Wang Feng interrupted his father's speech and turned his eyes to the other party's puppy named Vardy, who had previously heard his father say that this colorful hound was the first Olympic mascot in the history of the Olympic Games.
Wang Jiangui has always been very serious in answering children's questions.
He believes that it is good for children to ask questions, and it is a good time for children to be tireless and appropriate, which is the right childhood.
"Of course, we had to run, and at that time there was a fierce competition between the four major cities, and Munich won the right to host the Games by only one vote."
"Oh! … Munich is amazing. ”
Wang Feng opened his mouth wide and stood on tiptoe to see which Olympic emblem was raised high.
"We are also very strong in China, and the headquarters economy has developed very rapidly in recent years."
Wang Jiangui was proud and felt that he would definitely be able to see the Olympic Games in Beijing, China, in his lifetime.
"Eh, look, the men's 100-meter sprint is about to start!"
Kang Feng stared at the 100-meter track and shouted excitedly.
Both husband and wife are sports fans and like sports, but for family financial reasons, they must calm down and teach seriously and spend a lot of time studying books.
This time, the husband and wife came to the Olympics, spent a year's savings, and took their 10-year-old child to West Germany to watch the Olympics.
The long-awaited men's track and field 100-meter competition is about to begin, and Wang Jiangui quickly looks away.
"Oh, it's time to begin! That's not... Robertson and Hart? Well! I'm bullish on Robertson! ”
Wang Jiangui said excitedly, Kang Feng nodded, and the two fell in love.
As the guns rang out, the athletes raced at a high speed, and in the end, Robertson and Hart of the United States both won the first place in the sprint heats: 9.9 seconds.
Broke the world record.
The whole stadium of 80,000 people was boiling, and the cheers were endless.
Wang Feng was stunned, only by standing on tiptoe could he see the situation below, and when he saw his parents roaring happily, he also shouted.
Over the next few days, they watched great swimming, wrestling, judo, cycling, archery, weightlifting, and sailing competitions.
There are eighteen projects in total, and half of them have already been seen.
The testers use state-of-the-art electronic timers and laser rangefinders with an accuracy of thousandths of a second, so there is no moisture in these races.
On the evening of September 4th.
"Alas, it's a pity, my optimistic Robertson is too inferior, and the Olympics are still late! The sprint championship was given to Bortsov, who was more than ten seconds old. ”
On the way back to the accommodation, Wang Jiangui was still feeling sorry for the two of them missing the game.
Kang Feng comforted: "Don't feel sorry, they can wait for the next sports meeting." ”
"Yes."
"Dad, we see Chinese athletes in these events today, but why did they all lose? Not even a top-three. ”
Wang Feng kicked the roadside stone and grabbed his mother's hand, his little face full of melancholy.
"I believe that Chinese athletes will become stronger and stronger in the future and shine in the Olympic Games!"
Kang Feng tilted his head: "Are you so confident?" ”
"Of course!"
Wang Jiangui held his head high, "My son loves sports so much, he will definitely become an excellent athlete in the future and win glory for the country, right, son?" ”
"No, I'm going to be a soldier."
The little eyes suddenly became firm.
"Being a soldier? Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to be a police officer? Why did you become a soldier again today? Oh! I guess I want to be an athlete tomorrow, right? Then Daddy will ask tomorrow. ”
Wang Jiangui teased his son, Kang Feng covered his mouth, eating and laughing.
"Nope! I want to be a police officer and a soldier, so I'm not an athlete! ”
Wang Feng shouted.
attracted passers-by to look at it casually, and then indifferently, they are all people who have come over, and the child's oath is regarded as a dream that will never be realized.
Of course, there are still many people who do not understand Chinese.
"Silly boy, why don't you want to be an athlete? Athletes are so good. ”
Kang Feng nodded: "Dad is right, and the police and the military can't be together." ”
"I want to be a soldier because my dad used to be a soldier too! Very handsome! Athletes aren't that handsome! ”
Wang Feng answered his father's question, and his small mouth roared loudly.
Speaking of soldiers, Wang Jiangui remembered the year when he left his hometown with a big red flower, and his parents saw it with tears in their eyes, and that scene, that moment, he will never forget for the rest of his life.
Later, he was demobilized and discharged from the army, and Kang Feng worked as a teacher in a local primary school to educate the next generation of flowers.
gave birth to a son and lived a happy life.
In recent years, the relations between China and the Soviet Union and China and Vietnam have gradually deteriorated, and they are afraid that a war will break out.
Wang Jiangui came back to his senses and then asked, "What about the police?" ”
"Police...... When the police can protect the civilian population! ”
Xiao Wang Feng's answer surprised his family, it is really rare to have such an awareness at such a young age.
But his shouts attracted the plainclothes police in the vicinity, who were more numerous, and surrounded the family of three in two or three clicks.
"What's that kid called? (German)"
The more sturdy officer asked the policewoman next to him who specialized in Chinese.
The policewoman explained: "Oh, this cutie is saying that he wants to be a police officer and protect the people. (German)"
The fierce officer patted Wang Feng's head, his palm was bigger than his head, and smiled with satisfaction, although the smile was ugly:
"Work hard, little friend, I'm optimistic about you. (German)"
"He told you to come on, happy Olympics, have fun~"
The policewoman came to translate.
"Thank you...... Thank you, have fun, and you are happy too. ”
Wang Feng replied dumbly, the family of three was frightened by a tough and rugged policeman, and the policewoman's words brought them back to normal.
Plainclothes police patrolled other places.
In order to erase the shadow of World War II and Hitler's rule at the time of the 1936 Berlin Olympics and to convince the world that West Germany had restored its image as a civilized country, the organizers of the Olympic Games generally required patrol police officers to wear civilian clothes, and no firearms were allowed to be issued except for the police in other areas of the sports venue.
Continue to walk and come to the Yizar River, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, mottled and beautiful, and it is beautiful in an instant.
I met several young men in dark blue clothes with white floppy hats.
Wang Jiangui stepped forward and said to them in American English: "Hello, the scenery by the river is very beautiful, and it is the best place to walk." ”
As an English teacher, I have to talk to foreigners.
The other party understood, and chatted happily with him, and after chatting for a long time, the last family of three was dragged to the 31st district of Connery Avenue in the Olympic Village.
Spacious and bright room, this is the place to stay tonight, Wang Feng and Kang Feng were extremely surprised.
Ken-gyu told them that those people were enthusiastic and sociable Israeli athletes, and that they had heard that Israeli athletes were going around making friends in order to show their peaceful and friendly side.
Kang Feng is a teacher of history, natural merger of ideology and morality, and in primary school, most teachers are one person with multiple subjects and multiple classes.
"Athletes from Israel? It's better to be careful, they're so friendly, it's so unusual. ”
Kang Feng knows that the relationship between Israel and Palestine, which goes back to the Jews, involves too much.
Wang Jiangui analyzed: "They show goodwill, maybe they really want peace." ”
Kang Feng had heard that wherever the countries were at war, they were all fighting wars of attrition with neighboring countries, and Palestine had launched terrorist attacks on Jews in neighboring countries on an unprecedented scale.
"Alas, don't think about it, over there, maybe there are still our communists, Munich is a paradise of joy, there will be no problems, you can rest assured."
Wang Jiangui pointed out the window, not far away, 16 kilometers away, the Dachau Nazi concentration camp, which had held a total of 210,000 people.
"Well, I hope the joy of the Olympics will be passed on to everyone in Munich."
Kang Feng prayed, when there was a knock at the door, it was the Israeli athlete coming.
They were very enthusiastic and helped Wang Jiangui's family bring supper.
"Thank you, thank you! I don't even know how to thank you enough. ”
Ken-gyu hurriedly thanked him.
"It's okay, we all like foreigners, especially Asians, and Asians are kind and amiable in our minds."
"Oh, thank you for your trust, is there enough room in the Olympic Village, why can you help us empty one?"
"It's enough, the Olympic Village is enough for more than 10,000 people to live, and all the athletes and coaches are only more than 8,000 people in total."
They chatted again, and they talked very happily, Wang Jiangui quietly stuffed them with US dollars, and the captain accepted them after pushing them three times.
Continuing to talk happily, Kang Feng knew a little American English, and could only occasionally pick up two sentences carefully.
And Wang Feng is different, he can't understand anything, and he is chattering like listening to a book from heaven.
But he looked at the athletes, his brow furrowed.
Although the place is beautiful and the people are friendly, it is still not as good as home.
……
Everyone went to bed early today.
Nothing was said all night.
At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright.
"Dad, still wake up so early?"
Wang Feng rubbed his eyes and wanted to continue sleeping, his father has been getting up early to run these days, and his enthusiasm for sports has not diminished.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, an explosion that had never been heard before came from next door, and Wang Feng and Kang Feng were so frightened that they jumped up from the bed, thinking it was a firecracker.
Ken-gyu, a veteran, widened his eyes as he rushed out of the house at lightning speed.
This is not a firecracker, and Wang Jiangui, who often touches the gun, knows that the muffled sound may come from the AK-47's 7.62mm bullet.
"Stay inside, don't come out!"
The mother and son nodded tremblingly, worried, "Be careful." ”
Wang Jiangui approached the wall, and sure enough, there were nearly eight outlaws wearing sportswear, black turbans and rifles.
They were blinded from seeing inside, and several athletes were fighting with them hand-to-hand.
Then it was found that an athlete and a weightlifting coach were lying in a pool of blood.
Wang Jiangui's pupils shrank sharply, knowing that this matter was not as simple as imagined, and it was a complete attack.
You have to shoot in advance, otherwise these perverts will kill everyone, Wang Jiangui doesn't want his children and wife to be hurt!
Seizing the opportunity, Ken Gyu knocked out one person with his strong combat ability, and skillfully picked up the opponent's rifle, but was accidentally discovered by other terrorists.
"Put down the gun! Otherwise, it's a dead end! (Arabic)"
The outlaws were screaming at him, extremely emotional, outnumbered, Wang Jiangui raised his hand, unable to save the Israeli athletes.
At this time, you can't force it, otherwise you will definitely die.
"Bang!"
The 7.62mm bullet passed through Kenkyu's thigh, blood splattered, and he sat on the ground in pain.
"Ken-kyu be careful! (Hebrew)"
The Israeli team rushed over and knocked the terrorists unconscious with their strength alone, snatched bayonets and stabbed them.
With a "snort", the terrorist's forearm was dripping with blood.
But before Romano could dodge, he was shot by another terrorist and killed instantly.
"Romano!"
The other athletes yelled with tears in their eyes, and the scene was chaotic.
Wang Feng curiously looked at the scene outside the corridor through the crack in the door, but this picture is unforgettable.
The father was shot in the leg and knelt on the ground, the big flesh and blood were blurred, Wang Feng wanted to scream, but his mouth was covered by his mother's hand.
She knew that the child's father was trying to protect the child.
The terrifying black muzzle of the gun was aimed at Wang Jiangui's chest, and with a thud, he collapsed in a pool of blood.
Wang Feng hissed and grabbed the door and wanted to rush over, but was pulled by his mother, and he saw that his father was smiling at him.
"Nope! …”
……
……
Screams and gunshots, the nearby athletes did not come out to investigate, because there are often people carnival, firecrackers, and noisy fun at night.
The family of three was finally rescued by the West German police, and although he won the first rescue time of Wang Jiangui, his life was still in danger.
In the past few days, Wang Feng has been accompanied by grief, and Kang Feng has washed his face with tears.
He hated the outlaws with guns, killing innocents indiscriminately and destroying harmony and tranquility.
More than 10,000 policemen and 24 snipers surrounded the Olympic Village, and the outlaws took nine Israeli athletes hostage, and the West German police had no choice but to negotiate with them.
Black September, an ultimatum was issued for the release of 234 prisoners held in Israel and two prisoners in West German prisons, and a huge amount of money was arranged for a plane to Cairo, Egypt.
The Israeli authorities disagreed, and they only allowed the criminals to leave the country safely, and did not release the prisoners.
The term terrorist was born from the Munich attacks.
The rescue turned out to be horrible as the hostages failed at the airport, nine of Wang's friends were killed in two helicopters, and the terrorists were eliminated.
The incident has alarmed the whole country, and developed countries have successively set up anti-terrorist special combat teams and armed police forces to protect the security of the country and the people and prevent accidents.
This incident caused Wang Feng's young heart to suffer a big blow.
Wang Feng realized that people can kill people, and some people can kill people without their lives, and their irritability will endanger the people, because they can take more lives before they die.
"I'm going to be stronger! I'm going to punish those abominable outlaws! ”
Outside the intensive care ward, Wang Feng looked at his unconscious father inside, clenched his little fists, and gritted his teeth.
