Chapter Twenty-Seven: Righteousness First (Part II)
Although it was very inconvenient for Zhan Zhizhan to twist his head on the hospital bed, he still raised his right arm to salute Stationmaster Jiang and said: "Report to 'Brother Yi', 'Step Throwing King Kong' to complete the task, but he is injured and can't stand up to report to you." This one...... This is a bit disrespectful! Chief, please...... Please criticize the chief! ……”
Stationmaster Jiang hurriedly stepped forward, took Zhan Zhizhan's hand, sat on the chair at the head of Zhan Zhizhan's bed with a smile, and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhan, your task has been completed very well!" On behalf of Vice Minister Zeng, I would like to thank you for your contribution to the intelligence investigation work. ……”
Zhan Zhizhan was still angry at the order of "at any cost" issued by Stationmaster Jiang in order to rescue "Gandapo" Qiushui. He never understood how important the intelligence in the hands of a "Gandapo" was, and it was worth destroying an important experimental unit at the headquarters. Zhan Zhizhan "snorted" and said weakly: "Hey...... 'Gandapo' is okay?" ……”
Stationmaster Jiang said with a heavy face: "This ...... comrade 'Gandapo' is covered in bruises and extremely weak. You 'referred' to the hospital from her...... Six leeches were taken out of her body. ......" Speaking of this, Stationmaster Jiang suddenly scolded: "The Vietnamese monkeys, a gang of dog mongrels that exterminate humanity and can't die well, should really cut them with a thousand knives!" ……”
"Could it be that Qiushui endured unspeakable torture in the Vietnamese army? ......" Stationmaster Jiang's words shocked Zhan Zhizhan very much. At that time, not only on the front line in southern Xinjiang, but also throughout the country, there were rumors that the Vietnamese army was abusing prisoners, especially female prisoners.
Stationmaster Jiang paused, as if trying to calm the anger in his heart. After a while, he said: "'Gandapo' has completed the task, and when I return to the Beijing headquarters, I need to report on my work, and I need to recuperate for a while. For various reasons, she can't come to visit you, let me convey her gratitude to you, and you will have a chance to meet! I heard that the two of you are still classmates in the Harbin training class? Hehe...... What a fate! ……”
"Oh...... 'Gandharva' is a lot of credit! ......" Zhan Zhizhan said in a roundabout way.
It seems that Stationmaster Jiang is in a good mood. He smiled and said, "'Gandapo' is the same as you, it is a first-class merit!" In addition...... 'Gandarpo' is not a big problem in being promoted from the deputy company post to the main company post, and it is also possible that he will be promoted to the deputy battalion post by skipping the ranks. ……”
"Wow...... 'Gandapo' was promoted so quickly! ......" Zhan Zhizhan exclaimed with envy.
Stationmaster Jiang naturally knew the subtext of Zhan Zhizhan, he deliberately pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhan, 'Gan Da Po' is a good comrade and an excellent fighter on the hidden front. The information she obtained with great difficulty, risking her own life this time, is of great significance to our party, our army, and even our country in formulating the next policy. That's all I know about the information that 'Gandharva' has brought back, and I have no right to know the contents. But...... When I say 'at any cost', I am not talking about self-respecting intelligence work, but because of the particularity of intelligence work, which is what we often call 'national interests first'! To put it in layman's terms, if the 'national interest' requires me to sacrifice, I will not hesitate to move forward, even at the cost of breaking my bones. On that note, Xiao Zhan, do you remember our oath? ……”
Zhan Zhizhan nodded, his eyes didn't know where to look, and he seemed to mutter: "Thousands of hammers are carved out of the deep mountains, and the fire is burning." Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world. This is the great poet of the Ming Dynasty Yu Qian's "Stone Yin", Yu old-timers use lime as a metaphor to express their strong and unyielding, clean and self-righteous qualities, and express the thoughts and feelings of fighting against evil forces to the end and never being different from the dirt. The sages are still like this, I am a warrior on the hidden front, and it is my duty to follow the example of the sages. Merely...... It's just that I later felt that for the sake of the interests of the country and the people, I could leave a 'clean' reputation after death...... But not necessarily! As long as...... As long as you don't bear the infamy of a lifetime, I'm afraid you'll have to look at it. ……”
Stationmaster Jiang nodded with a heavy heart and said, "The interests of the country and the people are supreme!" To what extent and to what level is to be supreme is a severe test for each of us. We have many old-timers who endured humiliation and burdens during their lifetimes, and even their grievances behind them cannot be revealed, and even their families are affected. Xiao Zhan, if your comrades are in extreme danger during the mission, and you don't come to the rescue, your comrades will be sacrificed. However, if you go to rescue your comrades, you will not be able to complete the mission, what will you choose? ……”
"The surname is Jiang, your eighteenth generation ancestors are not allowed to live in peace underground! The kids you feed don't have ass eyes! You bastard bastard son of a child actually asked me this! Why don't you ask me, my mother and daughter-in-law are going to drown in the river, who will I save first? ......" Stationmaster Jiang's words made Zhan Zhizhan furious, but with such a vicious curse, Zhan Zhizhan can't be scolded, Zhan Zhizhan is no longer the original Zhan Zhizhan who was on fire and had a hot temper.
Fortunately, Zhan Zhizhan was lying on the bed, so he didn't let Stationmaster Jiang see his face. Zhan Zhizhan pondered for a moment, sighed very calmly, and said: "I will say goodbye to my comrades-in-arms with tears, and after completing the task, I will come back to avenge my comrades-in-arms." If you don't kill all the eight calves who killed my comrades-in-arms, and their seven aunts and eight aunts, they swear not to be human! And then...... Then I committed suicide in front of the grave of my comrades-in-arms to atone for the sin of seeing my comrades-in-arms being killed, but not being able to save them! ……”
Stationmaster Jiang nodded again and said with a smile: "Well...... 'revenge is not a gentleman!'" You punch me, I turn around and have to give you a kick! If there is revenge and no revenge, it is either incompetence or ignorance. In the face of a strong enemy, you are cowardly and incompetent; In the face of the wicked like jackals, snakes and scorpions, you have illusions and are ignorant. It is human nature to take revenge; It is a conscience to repay kindness. Tolerance, of course, but it must not become a connivance against evil. But...... Revenge is a must, suicide is not necessary! Hehe...... Xiao Zhan, I know that you like to read Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and in order to express my praise for you, I have entrusted the relevant comrades to get you a set of "Jin Yong's Complete Volumes" published by Hong Kong Minghe Publishing House in Hong Kong. When I get it back, I'll pass it on to you. ……”
"The Complete Book of Jin Yong" published by Hong Kong Minghe Publishing House? ......" Zhan Zhizhan couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, he remembered the second brother "Wu Erlang" Wu Youyi who married in Harbin, and the second brother also gave him a set of "Jin Yong's Complete Volume" published by Hong Kong Minghe Publishing House. It's just that after Zhan Zhizhan graduated, this set of books was sent to his hometown in Shandong with his luggage.
Zhan Zhizhan immediately calmed down and said lightly: "Oh...... Then thank you Stationmaster Jiang. ……”
Although Stationmaster Jiang found Zhan Zhizhan's fleeting and complicated expression, he couldn't guess Zhan Zhizhan's thoughts, so he could only pretend that he didn't see it, and continued: "There is a wonderful description in the thirtieth chapter of Mr. Jin Yong's "The Condor Heroes", which is written that King Jinlun kidnapped Guo Jing, Guo Daxia's youngest daughter Guo Xiang, and forced Guo Daxia to be brave and enter the trap under Xiangyang City. But, Xiao Zhan, do you remember how Guo Daxia replied to King Jinlun? ……”
Zhan Zhizhan said with great fascination: "Guo Daxia, who understands righteousness, said, 'If the Tartar is not afraid of me, why should he embarrass my little daughter? Since the Tartars are afraid of me, Guo Jing has a promising body, how can he die easily? ……’”
Speaking of this, Zhan Zhizhan suddenly realized, and said apologetically: "Stationmaster Jiang, I understand!" I was wrong! Stationmaster Jiang, I understand your painstaking efforts. The interests of the country and the people are 'righteousness', just like Guo Daxia said, 'for the country and the people, the great man of chivalry'. To die for the good of the people is heavier than Mount Tai! 'It is the duty of chivalry to do justice and help people in distress, but this is only the small one of chivalry. As for personal grievances, it is even more insignificant. The interests of the state and the people are above all else, and the interests of other individuals and small collectives cannot be compared with them. ……”
"The children can be taught! ......" Stationmaster Jiang secretly praised in his heart. But he looked at his watch, but changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Wang Yufeng, this girl has asked me several times to come and see you." Hehe...... Xiao Zhan, you and Wang Yufeng are comrades-in-arms on the hidden front, and I can't refuse it if it's reasonable or reasonable. This girl should have arrived, why hasn't she come yet? Oh...... Xiao Zhan, while Wang Yufeng's girl didn't come, can you tell me about the process of rescuing 'Gandapo'? ……”
Zhan Zhizhan was stunned for a moment, it was not his true nature to be greedy for the merits of the sky, and he didn't dare to brag about it, so he could only say honestly: "Report to Stationmaster Jiang, according to the position mentioned in the intelligence, I rushed to the scene to take a look, and Comrade 'Gandapo' has been transferred." In the fierce battle, it was Comrade Qi Fuzhou and Qu Shaoshan of our third detachment who found and rescued Comrade 'Gandapo'. …… They're in the conference room, so let's see if you can ......."
Stationmaster Jiang stood up and said, "Okay, I'll ask the nurse to call them over!" ……”
As soon as Stationmaster Jiang took two steps, Zhan Zhizhan shouted behind him: "Stationmaster Jiang! ……”
Stationmaster Jiang turned around and asked suspiciously, "What, isn't it convenient?" ……”
"Nope! No! No! ......" Zhan Zhizhan hurriedly denied it. Then, he said very awkwardly: "Stationmaster Jiang, Comrade Qi Fuzhou and Comrade Qu Shaoshan have made such a great contribution in the 'life-saving operation', you look at ......."
"This hangman! ......" Stationmaster Jiang secretly scolded Zhan Zhizhan for "protecting calves" in his heart, but he said quietly: "Okay, for your sake, I'll report when I go back and promote each of them to a level." What more could you ask for? ……”
Zhan Zhizhan was overjoyed, and said again and again with joy: "No! Without! This one is really gone! ……”
Within a few minutes, the "report" voices of "weasel" and "black kite" sounded outside the door of the ward.
Zhan Zhizhan looked like he couldn't live, and said weakly: "Come in......"
After the "Yellow Weasel" and "Black Kite" saluted Stationmaster Jiang and Zhan Zhizhan, Zhan Zhizhan still said weakly: "'Yellow Weasel' and 'Black Kite', the two of you report to this chief about the process of rescuing that female comrade in the 'Rescue Operation'!" ……”
