Chapter 266 266 Oratory is indeed a necessary skill for a traverser
Lin Youde is a liberal arts student, and he is a very literary liberal arts student, he not only has a strong interest in history, economics and other fields, and has read a large number of works, but also read a huge number of so-called "traditional literature" works.
His college classmates thought it was strange, because he often used his mobile phone to read online novels during class, but whenever the literary and artistic young man in the class who liked to pretend to be forced pulled a masterpiece, he would always raise his head with disdain, and in a few words, he would debunk the fact that he had only read Douban's book reviews on the Internet.
However, these are all "brave back then", and they are all "past scenery" for the current Lin Youde. But when he saw the guy who was suspected of being a famous writer, the little blood in his heart was ready to move again.
The officer looked at Lin Youde, who was squinting at his cigarette, as if it would take a lot of effort to see what Lin Youde looked like - Lin Youde remembered that Hemingway did have poor eyesight.
"What did you say?"
"Are you Ernest, I ask? Hemingway? β
"Ah, uh, yes. This, uh......"
Lin Youde smiled, and the great writer who only kept in the textbook now showed a bewildered expression in front of him, and he could only say that it was amazing to pass through this thing.
"Don't stress Mr. Hemingway, I love your Farewell to Arms, and Battlefield...... Uh, sorry, and Snow in Kilimanjaro. Lin Youde almost "spoiled" the author himself for his possible future works, but fortunately the response was relatively quick. At the same time, he also felt a little regretful that he could not talk freely with the writer about his thoughts on "The Old Man and the Sea", because he remembered that this work was only published in the 1950s.
A long time ago, Lin Youde failed the high school entrance examination, and when he watched "The Old Man and the Sea", it was a touch, and three years later, he finally handed in a fairly acceptable answer sheet for the college entrance examination.
All of this seems impossible to share with the writer himself.
Hemingway smiled a little stiffly at Lin Youde: "I am honored to be loved by you. β
If it was Lin Youde who had just been in power, he would probably feel a little uncomfortable with the flattering attitude of these celebrities, but now Lin Youde has completely adapted to it, so he just nodded to the writer he once admired incomparably, left in front of him, and walked forward.
Lin Youde came to stand in front of the phalanx of soldiers in the English area, and then gave Leonardo a gesture, and the Americans immediately fiddled with their camera equipment and began to find an angle. And the photographer who arrived on the same plane as Lin Youde was already using the camera to shoot non-stop.
"Gentlemen," Lin Youde paused after this word very experienced, but his daughter was very uncooperative, Nia sneezed loudly in this gap, and snickering immediately came from the soldiers' phalanx, Lin Youde was not annoyed, but laughed together, "I'm sorry, my daughter is not yet a year old this year, and I can't stand the weather......"
Nia sneezed again, this time instead of spitting stars and snot squirting out of her mouth was a tongue of fire about a meter long, the little guy leaned forward when he sneezed, so this breath of fire spewed on the ground, fortunately there was nothing to burn on the floor, but it startled the soldiers in the first row of the international column in front of them, and many people took a few steps back.
Lin Youde found that the rain was much heavier, and the barely felt drizzle just now had turned into a real light rain, he bent down to lift Nia up and put it into Sissi's arms, and Miss Knight immediately took the towel from the attendant behind him and began to wipe the little guy's wet face and head. Lin Youde looked down at Ysera, a little worried about whether Isera, who was an ordinary person, would catch a cold, and then he found that his eldest daughter didn't know where to get a book, and spread it out to cover her head to protect herself from the rain.
At this time, several non-commissioned officers came over with umbrellas and held up the ladies.
A non-commissioned officer wanted to hold an umbrella for Lin Youde, but Lin Youde refused.
As soon as the other non-commissioned officer put up an umbrella for Oh-chan, the girl ran out of the umbrella from under the umbrella, and the non-commissioned officer immediately followed, but the girl ran away again.
Lin Youde stopped the non-commissioned officer who was going to continue chasing after him and waved his hand to him.
Then Lin Youde turned to the soldiers who were still standing in the rain waiting for him to speak.
"I'm sorry to show you the wolf side. I have a very interesting family. β
There was another burst of laughter from the soldiers, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
"Believe me," Lin Youde decided to change course and continued with this relaxed atmosphere, "Those gods who seem to be high above are actually just some weird girls, not as special as you think, so ...... Then untouchable. β
"Report!" One of the soldiers in the first row shouted, "Can I touch it?" β
"You have to ask them, as long as they don't break you up, you can touch it." Lin Youde paused, "But my daughter is too young to speak, so I replied on my behalf: No, never think about it!" β
There was another chuckle in the phalanx.
Lin Youde continued: "Whether it is a god or a war queen, although they have some power beyond ordinary people, in fact, they are still human beings, and they have the basic demands of human beings. Like us, they crave love, affection, and friendship. I've had three gods a day, so I think my words should be convincing enough. β
The soldiers were in a hurry, and some whistled.
Lin Youde glanced at Qianqian sideways, and sure enough, he saw a red glow flying on her face. After noticing Lin Youde's gaze, Qian Qian gave him a blank look, and then straightened her face - but the red glow on her face was not something she could control.
Lin Youde's gaze turned back to the soldiers, he raised his hands, suppressed the soldiers' voices, and then continued: "The gods and warriors are still like this, let alone ordinary people. As human beings, it is our instinct to pursue a peaceful and happy life, and we have been working towards this goal since birth, and we have accumulated experience and skills, and we have exercised all aspects of ourselves, all of which are in order to make ourselves happy.
"Let's take you for example, isn't it a thousand times better to be able to date a beautiful girl in your hometown than to crawl in the mud of the battlefield? But why are you here? β
Saying that, Lin Youde pointed behind him: "Those planes will send a series of seriously injured people back to Germany every day, and most of their futures have been ruined and can only be spent with disabled bodies." Many of you will become like that, trust me. Why should you put your future happiness at risk? β
Lin Youde paused, glanced at the crowd, used the silence to increase the power of his words, and then said again before some of the guys who couldn't resist their own opened their mouths to disrupt his rhythm: "Because here, there are some bastards who are wantonly ruining the lives of others. With the weapons in their hands, they have created horrific humanitarian catastrophes, killing lives and destroying thousands of families.
"We must not sit idly by. Because we know that if we ignore their actions today, the same behavior will befall more people tomorrow, and if we continue to ignore them, one day their butcher's knife will point at us, and then no one will speak for us, no one will come out to help us, and we will die helplessly. β
Lin Youde paused again, and then said in a more solemn tone: "Historically, human beings have fought for various reasons. For glory, for freedom, and so on. In my opinion, these reasons are too empty, and today, we are fighting for the happiness of ordinary people, for true 'humanity'! This land was once the place where the famous Knights Hospitaller once fought, wielding their weapons to protect medical facilities and to save the victims of pilgrimage, and we are the inheritors of their spirit! β
Lin Youde adjusted his breathing and continued in a calm voice: "Gentlemen, the names of many of you will be drowned in the long river of history, and no one will know with the passage of time, but your achievements will live forever. β
Lin Youde looked at the crowd, he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, such a speech should generally end with the speaker raising his arms and shouting, and the audience responding with an impassioned shout, but now he has pressed the atmosphere so heavily that there is no way to turn into a state of excitement again. It's not impossible to re-agitate again, but then the speech will become too long, and it should be over with some lofty slogans after the phrase "spiritual inheritor......
If the fox is there, it is estimated that it will come out at this time to forcibly bring the atmosphere, but next to it is Sissi, so don't count on it.
So Lin Youde could only maintain Yan SΓΉ's face and said softly: "I'm done." β
He paused, and added on a whim: "If someone wants to go back and go on a date with the girl they like, just bring it up, and I will provide the travel expenses, plus a gift for the girl." β
At this time, one of the soldiers shouted: "Don't be kidding, I have come all the way to save the poor people of this land!" β
"That's right! We fight for freedom! The second shouted passionately, but Lin Youde really doubted that he had listened carefully to the speech.
However, the soldiers obviously didn't care about this, and the atmosphere that had just been solemn and heavy suddenly became agitated, and the soldiers' gossip about the battle showed that Lin Youde's speech had completely achieved its effect.
Lin Youde's photographer carried the camera like a treasure, and shot at the crowd more than once.
At this time, Lin Youde noticed that Hemingway was not infected by passionate emotions like everyone else, and he was looking at Lin Youde, his expression was calm and full of intellectuality.
It is worthy of being able to write "Farewell, Weapon" This kind of anti-war work that can't see the passionate and bloody side of the war at all, when Lin Youde read this book and saw the part where the protagonist's blood was crushed by the German artillery, he felt a lot, this is the first war novel with anti-war ideas that Lin Youde came into contact with.
Lin Youde suddenly wanted to know what the "Battlefield Bells" in this time and space would look like, and in what form would his speech just now be reflected in this book.
It's a wonderful sense of anticipation.
If in the future, after he Lin Youde reaches the end of his life, the Egg Pain Star Man can throw his soul into the future of this world to be reborn, and let him see what his great deeds look like in the eyes of historical historians, it will definitely be very interesting.
