Some things I want to say (I)
There are some things that I have been holding in my heart for a long time, and I really want to say them and encourage everyone.
This article is divided into two parts.,It's all some idle and miscellaneous private goods.,Friends who are not interested recommend skipping these two chapters and not reading!
The author of this book - Heavenly Demon Tribulation
To my dear readers: something I want to say
Today I took a look at the background of the author of this book,
Before I know it, I've been updating for 120 days in a row,
I wrote almost 400,000 words, and I was shocked.
This is the first time I've stuck to a hobby for so long.
It's also a testament to the fact that my love for writing wasn't a thrill, but a very rewarding hobby that I decided to stick to for the rest of my life.
I wanted to talk about some memories of growing up and explain why I wrote this alternative novel.
First of all, I don't know if anyone has seen my title page.
This book is dedicated to a dear friend who has very similar interests and hobbies, Mr. Nie.
He was my junior high school classmate, and both of us were out of step with our surroundings. )
The two of us are self-proclaimed otherworldly gentlemen, squatting in the corner all day playing with things that others can't understand.
In fact, in the eyes of others, we are two strange eccentrics.
At that time, the peers in the class were chasing Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.
At that time, the hottest was Jay Chou, who was still in a state of small fresh meat, (paralyzed, accidentally exposed his age!) QAQ)
The school girl at the same table reads the star magazine every day, kisses the little fresh meat avatar on it one by one, and says that she wants to marry a star when she grows up, and constantly despises ugly boys, (such as this fat house.) )
As for the boys, most of them love NBA stars, in fact, I don't understand, you say you play on the concrete floor of the playground, what are you doing with those sneakers for indoor flooring?
Some boys are known for liking Kobe Bryant (swarthy volute!). They did not hesitate to force their parents to buy expensive basketball shoes for more than 1,500 soft girl coins.
(PS: At that time, working-class parents had a monthly salary of just over 1,000, and those who had a Santana car at home could be called local tyrants!) )
As for Mr. Nie and I, we are very good, of course, unlike these laymen, our interests are much wider and more awesome.
First of all, we were die-hard Blizzard fans, and at that time, few families had computers, so if we wanted to play PC games, we had to go to the computer room to play!
See clearly! It's a computer room, not an Internet café! Because there was no such thing as an Internet café at that time!
Blizzard masterpieces such as "StarCraft" and "Diablo" deeply shocked us and greatly broadened our horizons.
In order to use the LAN to play an interstellar game, we did not hesitate to run all over the city's computer rooms (because each computer room only has a maximum of five to ten machines, and if you want to play, you can only wait in line!). )
Okay, I'm doing this old mistake again, the more I talk about it, the more crooked it gets, how did it get to the game?
The book is back to business, let's talk about the love related to this novel.
Mr. Nie and I are frequent visitors to the newsstand on the street, and we have been reading military-related magazines such as "Weapons", "World Military", and "Military History".
Although we are both peaceful countries and slings in big cities with good security, the topics discussed every day are always inseparable from the military.
Favorite topics include:
Who is the little devil's Yamato battleship or the Yankee's Iowa battleship?
Which is stronger, the German Tiger tank or the Soviet IS-2 tank?
The process of discussion is very professional, and it is even possible to mark the thickness of the armor in different parts, and draw a fairly accurate structural diagram.
At that time, I entered a huge pit of the military house, and that was the plastic model!
Let me give you a feel, at that time, middle school students only paid 5 yuan a day for lunch! Usually more than 20 pocket money is considered a lot of money!
And Mr. Nie and I managed to save more than 300 yuan!
I bought a tank model of the Japanese Tamiya brand, and it is still a high-end version with metal tracks and etching sheets!
What kind of spirit is this? This is true love!
(Lao Tzu is Cao, I was so hungry at that time and I didn't lose weight from hunger, WTF?) )
Except for World War I and World War II, Mr. Nie has always strongly recommended the Napoleonic war to me, wanting to take me into the pit.
And I wasn't interested, so he gave me a box of pirated VCDs.
There were two color printed CDs in it, which was a great package at the time.
Twenty years later, I still treasure this box of VCDs. (It's said it's a treasure, but in fact, it's hard to say that I borrowed it and didn't return it to him, and in addition, I asked him to borrow a game disc and never returned it.) )
Alright, let's get to the point! That's why I wrote this novel!
Open the VCD, the name of the film is "The Battle of Waterloo", and it is Sergei . Directed by Bondarchuk, Rhodes. A war epic film starring Stegel.
The film tells the story of 1815, when the Emperor Napoleon of France led the French army and fought a famous battle with the Duke of Wellington of England in Waterloo, Belgium.
I didn't expect anything at first, but this film shook me deeply!
There are three reasons for this:
First, the war scenes in the film are all played by real soldiers and real war horses!
The shock of thousands of troops rushing to kill is numb! Now those computer CG replicants in the movie are not worth mentioning at all!
Second, this film really made me feel the charm of the line war, the historical facts of the army are quite exquisitely restored, there are scattered formations and dense columns, and the details of the cuirassiers are even more amazing, the two armies are lined up in a neat line, risking their lives at any time, exchanging fire at a distance of less than 200 meters.
Each commander was an aristocratic gentleman, who competed with bravery and wisdom on the battlefield with great grace.
Thirdly, the beautiful text of the dialogue, whether it is the shock of the Napoleonic Emperor's return to France to build the Hundred Days Dynasty,
Or the Duke of Wellington's indifferent performance at the ball, each of which reflects the solid literary skills of the author of the play, truly restoring the world of 1815, and putting me in the middle of it as an audience.
The scene that struck me the most was the French march in the early morning of the Battle of Waterloo.
Grenadiers, old Praetorian Guards, and line infantry in splendid uniforms marched in dense formations, with glittering carbines and silver cuirassiers flanking.
When they saw Emperor Napoleon, thousands of people shouted in unison: "Long live the Emperor!" ”
This kind of momentum, this kind of scene, is something that a hot-blooded military house boy can't resist.
This set of shocking long shots was enough to plunge me into the pit of the Napoleonic Wars, and I was out of control ever since.
I started to buy more than 30 books like crazy.
Every time I learn more about line warfare, I feel more awe.
At that time, I understood that line warfare is not what those military blind mouths call "line up and shoot." ”
Rather, it is a rather rigorous, rather artistic discipline of warfare, whose impact is astoundingly far-reaching, and is the initial blueprint for all modern armies today.
Our military training today is to take a break and take a right step, and to fold quilts and rectify internal affairs is derived from the line war.
At the heart of this theory is discipline and coordination, and the famous generals of the Napoleonic Wars took these elements to the extreme.
To borrow a phrase from von Clausewitz, author of "On War":
"The Battle of Austerlitz (there are old movies related to it, highly recommended to watch!) is the essence of the art of modern warfare! ”
