Chapter 40: Please forgive me for my excesses
Zhou Yu ignored the obstruction of the people around him, strode towards the local people, his eyes swept over them, and said in a deep voice:
"Do you know what you're talking about? Do you know how much these people in front of you have paid for your country, your people, your children, your city? Many people even buried their bones in a foreign land and paid with their lives! ”
Zhou Yu subconsciously used the ability to slow down time and space when shouting, but this time he didn't use it to fight, but made his voice wider and louder, like the sound of a high-power horn, covering a large area around him.
"What noble people do you think you are, high-ranking people, young ladies and gentlemen, look at you, where is your gentlemanly demeanor? Where is your lady etiquette?
We are all part of this earth, we are all human beings when we are big, we are all allies of the Entente and victorious powers!
Although our country is still in a backward and weak period, don't forget that we used to be at the top and center of the world! At that time, you were even drinking blood in Rumao, and you didn't open up your mind in the wilderness, what do you have to be proud of? ”
Zhou Yu was really angry, he only learned in various books and film and television dramas that in this turbulent era, his compatriots were bullied abroad, but he didn't expect that after experiencing this scene in person, he still couldn't calm down.
This may be completely contrary to the education he received before, and he has no way to see himself as a spectator, a spectator.
Zhou Yu's words spread like a wave of sound, making those excited locals stop their movements for a while.
Zhou Yu looked around at them again and said: "It is true that our arrival may have squeezed your living space, but have you ever thought that without these hundreds of thousands of Chinese laborers, who made the shells for you when you fought the Germans on the front line?" Who built the tank for you? Who will provide you with the logistics?
Without the trenches we dug, your warriors would be exposed to enemy gunfire and artillery fire! Especially those of you who have children in their families who are going to join the army, have you ever known that behind them are tens of thousands of laborers who support them with their lives! Ahh ”
Zhou Yu shouted, and Hong Ah came out of the platoon, striding next to him with a resolute expression.
"Turn around!" Zhou Yu ordered loudly.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ah Ghost turned and turned his back at the locals.
Zhou Yu stepped forward and grabbed Ah Ghost's collar and pulled it down, and the latter's coat was torn open with a "swish", making the local people who thought they were gentlemen and young ladies let out an exclamation.
Zhou Yu pointed to the back of Hong Ah Ghost and said, "Did you see it?" These scars were left on the battlefield of the Somme! Battle of the Somme...... I'm sure many of you have also heard that it is the real purgatory on earth, a meat grinder of human names! Here, here, and here wounds, all blown up by German artillery fire! At that time, it was to save two British teenagers who were not yet eighteen years old! Niu Zhixin! ”
Zhou Yu shouted again, patted Hong Agui on the shoulder, and asked him to return to the team, and soon a companion put on a new dress for the latter.
Niu Zhixin let out an "oh", strode out of the ranks, and stood in front of Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu pointed to the hideous scar on his face and said, "Do you see his face?" Do you know how to disfigure? It was shrapnel from a shell that was inlaid into his mouth! The tooth on one side of him was completely destroyed, and now he can only use the other side for eating and chewing, resulting in lifelong disfigurement!
Why is that? This is the price to pay for the capture of one of the German highland batteries! If we don't take it, hundreds, thousands of British people will lose their lives because of it! Cripple! ”
Zhou Yu patted Niu Zhixin again and asked him to return to the team, and replaced him with a cripple.
"See him? All of you must remember what he looks like! It was he, regardless of his crippled legs, who desperately reported the location of the enemy's secret ammunition depot to the French army, which solved the danger of the Verdun War, gave the Entente the opportunity to counterattack in the overall situation, and only then did the historic scene of the German army signing the surrender on the train!
So...... The end of the war means that you all have to thank him, and not now entertain him with stones, garbage, and swear words!
You know? The truly ignorant, poor, dirty, and despicable people are people like you! I feel so sorry for you! ”
Zhou Yu's words overshadowed and hit those people's hearts wave after wave, causing them to gradually lower their hands, from the initial surprise to shock, and then many people even only had a look of shame on their faces.
At this time, Zhou Yu looked around the crowd, and suddenly his painting style changed.
"Please forgive me for being too excited, I am also too excited, I admit that many of our allies on the battlefield, those soldiers, are very heroic, they fought hard for you, for the motherland, for the family, the land behind them, and did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives, which is why today's peace has been achieved......
We have cherished peace and the friendship between our allies, and even if we do not cherish it, we cannot turn our former allies into enemies...... Those words, those deeds, should be poured out against your enemies, those who have killed and persecuted you, not your friends!
Having said so much today, it has affected everyone's mood and hindered traffic...... I'm sorry, Mr. Officer, I apologize for this, and if there is any punishment for this, then you can take me away. ”
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he walked up to the bearded officer with a sad look on his face, looking like he was going home.
The brothers behind him looked indignant and gritted their teeth, and some even had tears in their eyes, remembering the ghost days on the battlefield.
Among the local residents who were watching, some women and elderly people suddenly heard sobs.
They remembered their children, husbands, and brothers who died on the battlefield, and they felt the same way.
Others whose loved ones had survived the war also folded their hands or drew crosses on their chests and whispered prayers, and the scene was filled with weeping, a far cry from the tension that had just begun.
After saying this, Zhou Yu exhaled lightly and motioned for everyone to return to their beds, and soon, only a few people were left on the scene, as well as the three overseers who were a little confused.
The bearded officer seemed to be infected by Zhou Yu's words, closed his mouth and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Of course we will remember your sacrifice and dedication, young man, allies cannot fight each other, take care of your people, and everything will be fine."
"I will, officer." Zhou Yu nodded in response.
"Yes...... But my guns! ”
The overseer who reacted tried to speak, but was stopped by the bearded officer with a look in his eyes, and walked away with his neck by the collar.
