Chapter 1212: Tragic
"If you come to help me in peace, my heart will be with you, and if you sell me, a sinless man, into the hands of your enemies, let the God of our fathers see and chastise you......
This is the theme on which Gussef stands on the stage, peace.
The other two patriarchs also quoted scriptures to emphasize that peace is the most urgent environment in Ukraine at present, hoping that all parties can return to a state of peace and negotiate, and hope that all parties can lay down their arms in the name of God, and call for peace to return to Ukraine.
Orthodox religious leaders rarely get involved in politics, and the event is more like a prayer for blessings, injecting a bit of reason and warmth into the situation in the form of religion in the current tense situation, so all parties are happy to facilitate such gatherings.
But Buck, who was standing on the side, noticed that Lord Guseff really looked different from when he used to lecture in the church, his body language was richer, and his words were more emotional, which made the other two patriarchs want him to talk about the whole process of the southeast trip, which seemed to be his personal speech.
Of course, it was still a somewhat religious speech: "The Lord told me that I should go and see, to experience suffering, to find the root of this qiē evil result, and I went to ......"
Buck was surprised to find that the old man could remember almost every place he stopped along the way, and even named some of the believers who received his blessings, which made the religious sermon color of the whole southeast trip even stronger, when the old priest mentioned that he had personally experienced the heavy artillery bombardment of the battle for Donetsk airport, the blood and flesh of the crowd were blurred and the severed limbs and arms were tragic, the audience was silent, many people covered their mouths and wept, the patriarch who was good at preaching made the believers feel the same way, and the details described in detail were even more outrageous.
Buck subconsciously looked at the other two patriarchs, theoretically speaking, the three patriarchs are in charge of the entire Ukrainian diocese, and there is no distinction between high and low among each other, but at least the capital belongs to the patriarch of the central region, and most of the people here are also central parishioners.
But it was clear that the frowning Patriarch was completely engaged in Gusseff's speech, and there was absolutely no other affection, which made Buck laugh at himself if he was a little villainous and a gentleman's belly.
Master Gussef is impartial, does not accuse the armed personnel of either side, but tells the process purely from the point of view of humanitarianism and God's forgiveness, telling how the unfed soldiers are war-weary and want to flee the battlefield, but what is a little special is that he mentions how the former members of the Ukrainian special forces in Crimea are serving the Russians, which slightly leads to www.biquge.info the commotion below, and finally mentions his communication with the Tatar clerics:" Muslims and Christians alike should join hands to promote justice, peace, human rights and respect for human beings, based on shared values and genuine love......"
After about fifty minutes of speech, interrupted by applause and six times in unison, Master Gussef finally stretched out his arms to the quiet parishioners: "Next, we pray together for the fate of Ukraine...... We want to put the use of force away completely, so here we have a special confessional ceremony......"
After saying that, the three patriarchs moved towards the edge of the platform slightly, in fact, it was only a platform more than one meter high, and everyone in the audience could see that the ground was covered with a blue cloth carpet symbolizing Ukraine, and now the same blue cloth hanging behind was opened, and a large group of men in civilian clothes stood there, the scene was a little silent, everyone didn't know what would happen, Buck was also a little attentive to judge the change of events, and secretly looked at Lord Guseff.
These men in black leather jackets and down jackets are generally over thirty years old, basically with short hair or even close to bald heads, and a few of them are close to forty years old and a little bald, but one is strong and strong, and looks a little butcher-like full of meat, Buck only glanced at it and confirmed that these guys should be soldiers or ...... The kind of outlaws who have human lives in their hands, and the kind of composure that they have obviously accumulated with blood and life, and the frivolity of the scoundrels who proudly tattooed Siberia on their bodies to say that they killed four people, are simply one heaven and one earth.
The Patriarch of the Central District spoke: "Some people say that the beginning of the violence of the whole of Ukraine is in the capital, right here, right in that notorious clearance operation, we don't talk about the details of the right and wrong of this operation, we just want to express regret and repentance for this act of countering violence with violence, here...... Some of the members of Berkut who participated in the operation wanted to apologize for what they had done in the past and to be forgiven by the families of the victims......"
Boom!
The sky above the square, which had been quiet a moment ago, seemed to be sprinkled with a handful of salt, and suddenly exploded.
Buck's mind turned, and Berkut ...... Isn't that the official name of the Golden Eagle Special Forces, as for the Golden Eagles, they are only called like this because they have a golden sculpture on their logo, it turns out that these people are the members of the special forces who participated in the expulsion of the demonstrators, and when a considerable number of them defected to Russia with guns, or some stayed in Kyiv?
Wasn't the entire Golden Eagle disbanded by government order?
The square, which was preaching love and tolerance just a moment ago, is now full of curses, roars, and denunciations!
Someone even threw something at the stage!
Perhaps Lord Guseff just mentioned that some golden eagles defected to Russia, intentionally or unintentionally, which contributed to this atmosphere?
Seeing that Buck turned his head to look at the nearby believers who were about to rush up in surprise, the priest standing next to Buck whispered: "A considerable number of the relatives of the victims are the key conveners of this assembly, and the two patriarchs were praying for them before you arrived. ”
Yes, tolerance, easier said than done, for the executioner who killed his own relatives, is it so easy to forgive?
Buck retracted his gaze at the more than thirty men in the stands, although they all lowered their heads, but the expressions on their faces were definitely different, and the two half-bald heads standing at the forefront had the most indifferent expressions, even if they had a mobile phone or something to hit them, they were motionless.
But there were a few big men in the back, their low-hanging hands clenched into fists, and they were trembling!
The love is complicated!
Buck had also heard that these people were just asked to go out by the Ministry of the Interior, and it is said that the demonstrators shot first, and these professionals who fought back after seeing the casualties of their comrades were of course killing all sides, killing more than 80 people and injuring hundreds, they were just guns, do you blame them?
What is even more unexpected is that in the back, the scene that was originally chanting in unison with the mountains and tsunamis suddenly turned into a uniform shout: "Kneel! Kneel!"
Buck noticed that some men had clenched the muscles around their jaws!
Those who have been in the army understand the pride of being a soldier.
And these people must have been selected from the best of the army to join the Golden Eagle, and become the best special forces, the kind of pride that can be understood from Buck's short experience in the Crimea, and now they are asked to kneel down and apologize, that kind of humiliation......
The point is that these people may have come to the scene because of their religious beliefs, and perhaps with a concession attitude of calming things down, but now they have evolved into a situation where they are responsible for the orders of their superiors!
Is it fair?
But in front of tens of thousands of people, almost all public opinion is like this......
Even the two most indifferent half-bald heads squinted and looked around in disbelief, and finally looked at each other miserably, and slowly knelt down......
Kneel slowly.
