Chapter 326: The Chinese Army Parade in St. Lucas
For the question of whether to cut braids, Wang Yongan did not force everyone to cut braids at the beginning, but for many young overseas Chinese, it is difficult for them to accept wearing braids, and many Chinese from China are difficult to accept not to keep braids, but whether to keep braids or not to keep braids, it will not affect everyone's relationship, and the domestic situation is just the opposite, at this time the St. Lucas Chinese Special Zone of various ideas converge, everyone is stretching their own personality. www.biquge.info But the reason why Wang Yongan really made up his mind and ordered everyone to cut their braids was that two incidents occurred.
The first thing was the killing of a workshop worker.
Due to the hot climate in San Lucas, even though it is winter, the average temperature is still in the twenties, and the workers often can't wear braids on their heads, so many people tie their braids around their waists.
After receiving the bullet production line from the Springfield Arsenal at the San Lucas Arsenal in the town of Deca, some workers successfully assembled the machine under the guidance of American technicians. This would have been a great thing, but in the subsequent operation, one of the workers' braids was caught in the machine, and then the whole person was ripped in and crushed into flesh.
The happy event turned into a funeral, and the San Lucas Arsenal had to shut down for a day to soothe the workers, and the day after the resumption of work, there was another incident in which the worker was caught in the machine due to a problem with his braids, resulting in death.
Jin Qi, the superintendent of the San Lucas Arsenal, immediately told Wang Yongan that he hoped that the workers would cut their braids and not keep long hair, otherwise this kind of thing would happen again. Although the reason for this incident has a lot to do with the improper operation of workers and the lack of attention to construction safety, the long braids make this danger more likely.
Wang Yongan immediately approved that all workers' hair should not grow more than three inches, and everyone immediately cut their hair. He thought that the workers would immediately support him, but what Wang Yongan never expected was that the workers said that they would rather cut off their heads than shave their hair, and that braids were the roots of the Han people, and the Han people could not cut off the roots.
Wang Yongan couldn't cry or laugh, and asked the people around him to find out that because of more than 200 years of education, the Han people thought that braids were a unique cultural tradition of the Han people, while the Manchus thought that braids were the culture of the Han people, and they were assimilated, so many Manchus supported cutting braids. The Han people persisted in the struggle against whether to keep braids until 1920, when the last braid was cut off from the head of a Han gentry, while after the death of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus all shaved their heads and no longer wore braids.
Wang Yongan shook his head helplessly and explained bitterly, but the workers did not listen. So Wang Yongan didn't talk nonsense, and ordered the army to go directly into the factory, announcing that he would keep his head without hair, and if he kept his hair without his head, he would either cut his braids or cut off his head.
Keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head!
When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they said that the Han people fought for twenty years not to keep the ugly pig's tail, and finally the Han people gave in. It only took Wang Yongan two hours, and the workers also gave in, because San Lucas was so small that people couldn't even run, so they had to obey.
The second thing is the problem of infectious diseases, originally San Lucas is winter, it is not easy to breed infectious diseases, but suddenly many people get sick and have red spots all over their bodies. After a doctor's examination, it is believed that the disease is caused by lice in the hair and is also transmitted by lice. The best place for lice to hide is people's long hair, and doctors recommend that in addition to the general health inspection of the whole region, men's braids should not be kept, and it is best for women not to keep long hair for the time being, and buy lice powder from the United States.
After following the doctor's advice, Wang Yongan once again ordered that all men in San Lucas must have short hair, starting with the army officers and soldiers to cut their braids, and the officers to cut the braids of the citizens.
In light of the warnings received by the workers of the San Lucas Arsenal, this time the national shaving order was placed, and almost everyone had their braids cut. In fact, everyone insists that the braids are not as good as the workers of the San Lucas Arsenal, because most of the citizens of San Lucas are overseas Chinese or the families of soldiers and are familiar with the overseas environment, while the workers of the San Lucas Arsenal in Deka Town are farmers who arrived from Shandong, China, and the character of the Shandong people is originally stubborn and traditional, so the resistance is fierce.
After these two incidents, there was no Chinese man with pigtails in the San Lucaste district, and reporters from all over the world wondered if the Qing Dynasty's most capable general was ready to oppose the Qing Dynasty. A reporter interviewed Wang Yongan for this purpose and raised this question.
Wang Yongan saw the reporter's yellow skin and looked excited, and asked him if he was from the Alliance, and the reporter said excitedly: "Commander Wang, do you also support the Alliance?" ”
Wang Yongan shook his head and said: "Eat other people's food, do it for others, I am still an officer of the Great Qing Kingdom, I will not support the League, I can't do the thing of scolding my mother with a job." ”
The reporter was very disappointed.
Wang Yongan said again: "Don't write down the following words, as a Han Chinese, I hope that the country can undergo some changes, do you understand?" ”
The reporter nodded excitedly like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "I hope that the person who can lead the country to change is Commander Wang." ”
Wang Yongan smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that I am also famous abroad, and I am just a small character in China.
There are many reporters from all over the country, but even more Chinese people from the Americas have come, and their number has reached half of the Chinese population in San Lucaste, and even exceeds the capacity of the Special Administrative Region. Fortunately, the Chinese people are not picky about food and housing, and everyone can barely stay, but they are all right, just waiting for the military parade.
The military parade ceremony was held as scheduled, the venue was located in the Heroes Square in San Lucas, the Heroes Square faces south and back, due north is the SAR government office building, the left side is the SAR Council building, the right is the SAR Police Building, in front of the three buildings is the ten-lane China Avenue, opposite the China Avenue is the Heroes Square as big as a football field, opposite the Heroes Square is the San Lucas Heroes Monument, in front of the Heroes Monument is three flagpoles, hanging three flags, the middle is the flag of the Federal Republic of Mexico, On the left is the flag of the San Lucaste district, and on the right is the flag of the Qing Dynasty Overseas Chinese Army. Behind the Monument to the Heroes, the side-by-side buildings are the San Lucaste District Grand Theater, the San Lucaste District Museum, the San Lucaste District Library, the San Lucaste District Archives, the San Lucaste District Art Gallery, etc.
Although the buildings have not yet been built, no one dares to dispute the plans because the master plan was designed by Wang Yongan. When reporters from all over the world saw the vast Heroes Square, they were quite emotional, they knew that the Chinese were smart and the Chinese were diligent, but what they didn't expect was that in just five months, the Chinese would build a deserted area into a paradise.
Looking at the construction site in the distance, American journalist Joseph said to Agence France-Presse reporter Merkava: "I bet that if we come here again in 10 years, we will see a different view." ”
Merkava also smiled and said, "Maybe it won't take ten years, maybe five years, and they will be able to build it." ”
"The Chinese are too hardworking." Joseph said with emotion.
"Look, their parade unit is coming." Merkava said busily.
With the blowing of the horn, the parade officially began, and the first team to walk in full order was the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Armed Police Force of San Lucas.
The military band immediately began to play music, which shocked Western journalists, because it was the "Inferno March" composed by the Polish-American musician Frank Krampacc in 1996, and the original purpose of this piece was to create a game called "Command and Conquer", but after listening to the tune, Brett Sparrow insisted on using it for "Red Alert".
Although Wang Yongan can't fully replicate "Hell March", he is too familiar with this song, and when he was in college before the time-trip, unlike other students who played Dota, he liked to listen to "Hell March" and play some strategic single-player games. Therefore, under the tutelage of Wang Yongan, the military band played a different kind of "Hell March", Wang Yongan did not even change his name, and directly told everyone that this piece is "Hell March", and our San Lucas armed police force, in the eyes of the enemy, is a group of devils from hell.
"Click! Click! Click! Click! Click! Click! Click......"
The 203 soldiers of the 1st Infantry Brigade walked from the east side, and reporters from various countries looked over one after another, only to see a group of soldiers in gray uniforms, striding proudly with rifles with bayonets in their hands and striding across the rostrum on the third floor of the SAR government building.
"Click! Click! Click! Click! Click! Click! Click......"
All the soldiers had only one expression on their faces, arrogant, aggressive, provocative.
Yes, the naked and provocative eyes made many white reporters very uncomfortable, they never thought and never saw that the army composed of Chinese people actually showed such a strong fighting spirit. As the ace of San Lucas, they are the professional soldiers who fight around the clock, and they are the biggest defense of the San Lucaste district, so they must show 200% momentum to let everyone see that the people of San Lucas never give in!
"Inferno March" is still playing, and today, the military band can be exhausted to death, and it will definitely not drag down the army, and the sound is even louder. The people were also excited, they stood up straight, trembling all over, and some overseas Chinese were still in tears, finally knowing why this army was able to defeat the Mexican People's Army, because this army has an indomitable military spirit.
