[Epilogue]
Li Yunlong reclined on the sofa, his eyes open, as if he was still pondering, the "Browning" pistol fell on the floor, the air was filled with a strong ** smell, and a wisp of blood flowed down his left cheek, bubbling like a red stream, staining the golden star on his epaulettes......
Ma Tiansheng almost didn't hesitate, he rushed to the wall with an arrow, quickly dug out the warhead, and looked at it carefully, Li Yunlong was right, the warhead was indeed deformed, and his skull was really hard......
Ma Tiansheng silently put the bullet into his jacket pocket, and then walked out of the living room without looking back. An attentive warrior found that Commissar Ma's face was pale, and the moment he turned around, a trace of tears flashed in his eyes.
Two days later, late one night, Tian Yu committed suicide by slitting his wrists while in prison. The guards were severely reprimanded for this, and they never understood how the small safety blade escaped the scrutiny and brought him to prison. The guards privately said that the woman had come to the prison prepared to die, and that she had no intention of getting out alive. Look at the wound on her wrist, cut like a child's mouth, obediently, this woman can really do it......
The guards found a piece of stationery from Tian Yu's belongings, which was sent to her by the prison authorities to write an explanation. This piece of letter paper was immediately sent to Ma Tiansheng's desk, and it was scribbled with a poem "Linjiang Immortal" by the Southern Song Dynasty lyricist Chen Youyi:
Reminiscing about the afternoon bridge and drinking on the bridge,
Most of the people sitting in the middle are heroes.
The long ditch flows silently.
In the shadow of apricot blossoms,
Playing the flute until dawn.
More than 20 years like a dream,
Although this body is shocking!
Idle in the small pavilion to see the new sunshine.
How many things have happened in ancient and modern times,
The fisherman sang three watches.
Ma Tiansheng watched silently for a long time, but never said a word.
On the same day, two soldiers in charge of guarding Li Yunlong's body were suddenly attacked by several unknown people, leaving them unconscious for 48 hours. After the inspection, except for the general star on the epaulette of Li Yunlong's military uniform and the three medals, nothing else was moved.
Because of his position, Zheng Bo's appointment as a political commissar in the coastal defense regiment was canceled, and he was assigned to the army farm for labor reform. On that day, he was carrying stones on the construction site of land reclamation from the sea, when the powerful radio station on the enemy-occupied island opposite began broadcasting again. A grand overwhelming sound of music swept across the strait like a hurricane, Zheng Bo's heart contracted suddenly, this is the second movement of Beethoven's heroic symphony, the famous "Funeral March", after the solemn and mournful music, the usual delicate female voice did not appear, and the slow voice of a rich male announcer came: "...... All the officers and men of the 'national army' stationed on the island expressed their deep condolences over the death of General Li Yunlong...... In the winter of the 31st year of the Republic of China, General Li led his troops to fight fiercely with the Japanese enemy in Yelangyu, and there were more than hundreds of Japanese soldiers in the white-knuckle battle, and the Japanese army was terrified. In the 33rd year of the Republic of China, General Li completely annihilated the well-equipped Japanese army Yamamoto Ichiki Special Forces in the northwest of Shanxi Province, and fought bloodily against the enemy with his flesh and blood and inferior equipment, which was indeed a model for Chinese soldiers. …… Now broadcasting a memorial article by Chu Yunfei, the former colonel of the Second Theater of the 'National Army' and the active Lieutenant General of the 'National Army' who fought together with General Li Yunlong in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Chu quoted the words of Liu Kezhuang, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, as the beginning: The iron horse is cold in the camp, and the building boat crosses the wind and waves at night, who has mercy? The ape-armed general, the sky is ungraded......" Zheng Bo threw the stone on his back into the sea fiercely, and couldn't help but burst into tears......
A few months after Li Yunlong's death, the Sino-Soviet border war broke out in the Zhenbao Island area, and the eyes of the whole world turned to this small island of only 0.74 square kilometers on the Chinese side of the main channel of the Ussuri River in Hulin County, Heilongjiang Province, where the armies of two once close socialist countries fought a limited border war. During the battle, the soldiers on both sides showed a high degree of patriotism and a resolute attitude of not fearing sacrifice. The heavy artillery group under the command of General Kong Jie fought fiercely with the Soviet artillery group for several days. During the battle, Colonel Leonov, the wartime commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army's Bijin Border Defense Station, and Lieutenant Colonel Yansin, the head of the station, were killed by a bullet. After the battle, General Kong Jie sat alone in the war room for a long time, he remembered the thesis of General Ding Wei of the Nanjing Military Academy more than ten years ago, his idea of reorganizing the strategic pattern, his strategic foresight, and then thought of the early death of his old comrade-in-arms Li Yunlong......
Li Yunlong's field army was also ordered to be transferred as a strategic reserve to areas where fighting might break out. And Ma Tiansheng did not become the No. 1 leader of this army, and after Li Yunlong's death, his spirit seemed to have collapsed and he became silent. Later, he took the initiative to ask to be transferred and was transferred to a military academy in Beijing. It is said that he still does his old job to engage in political work, and after that, it is not clear......
In July of that year, at the launch site of the Space Center at Cape Canaveral in eastern Florida, a huge carrier rocket erupted into the sky with dazzling flames and flew into the distance at the second cosmic speed. The manned spacecraft called "Apollo 11" carried the hope of mankind through the dark vastness of space, sending humans to the moon for the first time, and from this day on, a new era of human march into the universe began. In this restless, noisy, violence, blood and strife on the earth, people of different colors and political beliefs have temporarily stopped quarreling and fighting, and all mankind welcomes this great new era with solemn emotions, which is the pride of mankind and the hope of mankind.
The great and unparalleled Beethoven fused his profound thoughts and infinite love and hope for mankind into an ode that resounded through the heavens. At this great moment, all corners of the world resounded the glorious fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The large-scale and majestic chorus "Ode to Joy" pushed the emotions of all mankind to the extreme.
…………
Hug up, hundreds of millions of people.
Let the whole world kiss!
At this time, in this noisy and chaotic earth, only a few human intellects can see through the fog with a wise eye and foresee that in the near future, a new industrial revolution will sweep the world, and the structure of human and social, political and economic forces will be transformed dramatically. This new industrial wave developed on the integrated scientific theories of quantum electronics, information theory, molecular biology, ocean engineering, nucleonics, ecology and space science will bring mankind into a glorious era. Not only that, but it also needs to profoundly change the information structure on which people act and behave in the world. Change the way human beings think about problems, synthesize situations, predict the consequences of actions, change the role of literacy in life, and even change the material composition and chemical properties of their own brains.
In this year, Japan, which borders China, and Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea, known as the "Asian Tigers", all spread their wings and began to take off economically......
Another 10 years have passed. In 1978, at the meeting of General Li Yunlong to restore his reputation and rehabilitate Zhaoxue, when the people were about to disperse at the end of the conference, three old men with gray hair hurried from outside the door, they were all wearing civilian clothes, their waists were straight, and their movements were agile.
The three old men had just walked into the venue, and suddenly saw the portrait of General Li Yunlong, they suddenly froze as if they had been struck by lightning, and in an instant the three of them stumbled and fell in front of the statue, and the old man led by him let out a terrible shout: "Old chief, my old chief, we have come to see you...... Tears flew like rain, and the three of them all let out a heart-rending cry, and the long, uninterrupted crying made the people present all moved......
They left with a bouquet of flowers, unsigned on the red ribbon of the bouquet, with only a Venus, whose gilding had oxidized and faded with age, and had become dull and dull. Most of the people in attendance didn't know what it was. Only a few retired veterans saw this, and they couldn't help but cry and sigh. The old people told the young people that this was the general star who represented the rank of general when the People's Liberation Army conferred the title in 1955......
After another 20 years, the city has changed a lot. In front of a small Gothic building on the beachfront, a group of middle-aged men and women came and rang the doorbell. The owner of Xiaolou is a Taiwanese businessman who has come to the mainland to invest, and he has served in the army and knows the military rank. He found that these soldiers were not of low rank, one of them was a major general, and the rest were colonels and colonels. The soldiers politely made a request that they had spent their childhood in this small building, and that they had come from far and wide to revisit the place, and that they wondered if their master would be able to fulfill their request.
The merchant is a hospitable person, since he is the former occupant of this building, of course he has the right to visit the former residence, which is also a kind of fate with him, not to mention that these people are some high-ranking military officers with status. The host enthusiastically led the soldiers around all the upstairs and downstairs rooms. The soldiers asked if they could go to the backyard to see if they could take a look. The host said of course yes. When he led the guests to the backyard, the phone in the living room rang, and the host apologized for inviting the guests to visit as they pleased, and hurried to answer the phone himself. The phone call was about the joint venture project, and the host talked a little longer. When he put down the phone and hurried to the backyard, he couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of him: these officers in crisp woolen military uniforms were kneeling in front of the courtyard wall, stroking the dots on the wall, crying like a group of children......
The merchant stood there silently, not disturbing the weeping officers. He knew that soldiers generally don't like to shed tears, and it seems that there may have been some poignant stories in this small building......
