Chapter 10: A Good Jasmine
But the following interview encountered trouble and resistance.
The leaders of these resistance groups are devout believers and deeply believe in Islam. Just in time for the Muslim Eid al-Adha festival, some were busy with the festival, and some simply went on a pilgrimage to Mecca. Some of them made appointments for interviews, but they didn't care about them because the resistance groups were fighting each other. This hurt the interview team a lot, and it also added another layer of worry.
In June 1982, Major General Gregory Janci, chief of staff of the 40th Army of the Polar Bears, commanded more than 10,000 troops, including 4,000 paratroopers of the 103rd Airborne Division, to bloodily encircle and suppress the "Panjshir Lion" Massoud. The campaign captured 200 guerrillas, destroyed Massoud's arsenal and seized a list of Mujahideen with 5,200 people. All 113 of them were arrested in Kabul, and Massoud escaped, but never recovered.
The battle was a huge shock to the resistance, and from the beginning of the encirclement and until the end of the war, all resistance groups avoided confronting the Soviet army head-on. In order to redeem the defeat, the CIA organized military experts from various countries to guide the armed forces to carry out guerrilla warfare. At the same time, it used religion to win over Muslims within the Soviet army, trafficked drugs to the territory of the polar bears through underground channels, and created ethnic incidents and instigated riots in the Muslim republics of the polar bears.
The 40th Army quickly returned to the Khyber Pass Gorge and Peshawar under bloody attacks by Spetsnaz and KGB "Lightning" detachments, respectively, plunging the resistance groups into internal and external difficulties. The seven major factions of the armed forces have also fallen into endless civil strife, infighting, and even killing each other due to different races, factions, tribes, and backstage differences......
What to do with these people after the war? Can there still be a Ningri in Central Asia?
With the gradual deepening of the "interview", this idea has been haunting Yu Songyuan's heart. In the entire interview team, the atmosphere of worry became heavier and heavier, making everyone breathless.
Not all the "leaders" refused to be interviewed, and to the surprise of the interview team, Major Kamilf, chairman of the Urban Mujahideen Alliance, not only did not make the pilgrimage, but also took the initiative to send someone to contact him, expressing his willingness to be interviewed by the "Voice of the Independent News Agency". Moreover, it is an exclusive press interview.
Yu Songyuan, the caterpillar and others, afraid that he would change his mind, the interview team quickly responded to the appointment.
The summer palace is located in the new town and is an all-white granite building. It has both the style of tall and majestic European manor castles, and at the same time the architectural style of Arabic Islamic round towers. Around it, there are tall European buildings, such as Cunningham Manor, Peshawar Bell Tower, Peshawar Concert Hall, British, French and German consulates, etc.
Beginning in 1757, the entire Halal country became a British colony in South Asia with Tianzhu. Throughout the colonial era, Peshawar was the center of British rule in northern Tianzhu. In order to compete with Russia for Central Asia, the British built a railway from Peshawar to the Khyber Pass, a sand-and-gravel road, and built Peshawar New Town.
The railway that crosses the pass, connecting Jamrud with Lundikone, near the border with the Shanren Islamic Republic, was officially opened to traffic in 1925. There are 34 tunnels, 94 bridges and culverts on the way, which greatly improves the traffic environment in the area. Many of the European-style buildings in Peshawar New Town were built during this period. The Summer Palace, like the Governor's House in Peshawar, is a landmark.
Major Kamilf was a middle-aged soldier of nearly forty years of age, who, like all the people of high society in the land of halal, was uninhibited and meticulously dressed. He did not wear a military uniform, but a stern gray suit with a crimson tie, a beautiful mustache, and a cigar elegantly in his hand.
During the interview, the major faced the camera lens and talked eloquently.
He introduced the situation of his resistance group against the invaders, exposed the atrocities of the invaders, and expressed his determination to resist to the end, "We will never accept foreign domination, and we will not recognize the Karmal puppet regime. We will fight to the end for the independence of the Shanren Islamic Republic! The unyielding spirit of the Pashtun man who fought to the end left a deep impression on Yu Songyuan.
After the interview, in the grand banquet hall of the summer palace with splendid golden walls, the major and his glamorous wife Garcia warmly entertained the interview team with flowers and wine. In countries where Islam is practiced, alcohol is strictly forbidden. But in the summer palace, it is completely exempt from this constraint.
Before the banquet began, the lady also warmly invited friends from the press to visit the summer palace.
The living room on the third floor where the major and his wife lived, the decoration was the most special and left a deep impression on them. On the walls are shields, daggers, and swords, which Madame said are the equipment of the English knights, which are more than 100 years old. There was a brass candlestick on the table, and a roaring fire burned in the antique fireplace, but the flame did not move. Originally, it was an electric stove in the shape of a flame to replace the firewood used to burn fireplaces in the past.
During the banquet, eight girls from the Islamic Republic of the Shanren dressed in traditional national costumes, accompanied by the band, also danced an enthusiastic folk dance. The climax of the banquet was the invitation of the famous geisha Xerna to sing live.
Accompanied by an elderly woman, Sherna walked into the ballroom and, to the accompaniment of the Sitar strings, Tabrabaya drums and Arabic flutes, sang one song after another:
"This beautiful land is a gift from Allah, and every inch of land is so beautiful. O beautiful land, a gift from Allah! Every one of your mountain passes is more precious than our lives. It is all thanks to your liliang that we can maintain our dignity and make a name for ourselves all over the world. As long as shijie remains, we wish you eternal freedom, and we wish you eternal independence! ”
"In the moonlight, through the window, holding hands and singing softly. Songs that belong to us, just listen to them once and never forget them. Look at your face, full of smiles and rippling. If you don't have any worries, it's not too long to walk like this for a lifetime. Looking at you, my little noise, is eternal aiqing. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and feel your breath......"
"What a beautiful jasmine, what a beautiful jasmine, fragrant and beautiful full of buds, fragrant and white people praise. Let me pluck you and give it to someone else's house, Jasmine, ah, Jasmine...... Let me pluck you and give it to someone else's house, Jasmine, ah, Jasmine......"
There was no announcer, no pause, and Sherna sang along with the accompanying music, one by one, affectionately and tactfully. She was only in her early twenties, with delicate facial features, a resentful gaze, and a cold face. She does not make eye contact with any audience and is completely immersed in the ocean of art. One of her zuihou songs turned out to be really China's "Jasmine".
When the familiar music sounded, Yu Songyuan, Lin Tao, Liu Guodong, and Lin Zhumin were so shocked that they almost threw away the cup in their hands. In a foreign country far from the motherland, in the hostile camp that is about to draw swords, I hear the music of my hometown that has long been integrated into my soul. This shock, people who have not experienced it, you can't imagine.
Sherna sang passionately, as if fascinated by that strange country. The feeling of sacredness is moving.
The rhythm of the drums is bright, the sound of the piano is melodious, and the singing is soft and moving, and the four fourteen and fourteen-year-old girls from the Halal country in the team of the Serna Band are dressed in traditional bafu and dance to the rhythm of the music. This beautiful singing voice and elegant dancing made the people in the entire banquet hall, including Yu Songyuan, Caterpillar and others, all immersed themselves in the enjoyment of art.
While the host and guests lingered in the music shijie, Liu Guodong was very sober, and he was also shocked by the singing. But he did not forget his mission, and when the master led them to visit the summer palace, he quietly installed an adsorption remote eavesdropping device in the flower pot in the study, under the clothes cabinet in the master bedroom, and under the dining table in the banquet hall. The device is small, discreet, and difficult to detect.
The performance finally ended, and Sherna did not take a curtain call, did not say goodbye to the host. She wrapped her headscarf indifferently, and with the support of the middle-aged woman, she left. It was only a long time before she left the table that everyone still felt that the beautiful and sad singing was still echoing in the hall and corridor.
At this time, the TV host Paglia. Searle. Miss Caterpillar, get active at the right time. She told the major and his wife that the news agency's interview would continue for some time. When all the interviews are over, the voice of the major will be heard by all the peace-loving people of Shijie. Let more countries and people uphold justice come together to support the people of the Shanren Islamic Republic in their just war against aggression.
Her words won a round of applause.
When I returned to the news agency in the evening, everyone was silent and silent. Sandra and the caterpillar looked at each other, and they both covered their mouths and smiled. Sandra joked, "A bunch of hairy boys, who have never seen the world." All of them have been defeated? A song "Jasmine" will make you lose your soul? Sit down honestly and listen to my sister to enlighten you! ”
She poured milk tea for everyone, "New China was founded in 1949, and in May 1951, China and the Halal country formally established diplomatic relations. In February 1971, the section of the road from Khunjerav Daban to Khalighi was completed and the Karakoram Highway was opened to traffic. Since then, China and Pakistan have been connected by land, and the two countries have been closely linked and have become strategic allies of mutual trust. ”
"In a halal country, from presidents and prime ministers to ordinary people, they all believe in their hearts that China is our good friend and our backing. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we fought several battles, and without great China, we would have been slaughtered like Dongba. We yearn for a beautiful and rich China, and no matter what China thinks, we even regard ourselves as a part of China, a natural ally, and the sixth red star. ”
"Our country is very poor, and the people in the lower strata of society are even poorer, and there are tens of millions of people who need to be rescued from the fire. Especially women, there are too many and too much suffering, and you can't save them. Men have a hero to save the beauty complex, but you have a mission, you must not be overflowing with compassion, let my sister worry about you......"
The caterpillar covered her mouth, seeing that she was deliberately teaching them like the head of the teaching office instructing students, and couldn't help but laugh and say nothing. After Sandra finished training, she deliberately added fuel to the fire, "But Miss Scherna is indeed a fanatical love for China, and she does not hide her love." No matter where she performs, she zuihou has a tune, which is China's "Jasmine". ”
"Look at your sinister faces, we just heard the song of our hometown and were deeply shocked. Moreover, the singing voice is indeed too beautiful. Is this an artistic liliang understand, it's really two 'three eight', where do you want to go? "Everyone else was told to be thoughtful and silent. Only Lin Tao finally couldn't help it, and took the lead in fighting back angrily.
