Chapter 696: It may not be the Son of Heaven who died
"Well, I admit that in the war between Eastern Shan State and Wa State, we lost...... We, the Eastern Shan State, are the defeated side and apply to the Wa State for peace talks as the defeated side......"
On the TV, when Gu Feng said this, the entire Eastern Shan State fell silent.
For ordinary people, they never thought that East Shan State would lose, and they felt that the troops of East Shan State should be able to do anything under the leadership of people like Qu Hu!
Won't you just go to war?
Isn't it just the hard part of life?
Admit it!
When the Eastern Shan State defeated the Wa State, why can't it compensate the common people?
However, no ordinary people could have imagined that today, after the end of the war, Gu Feng, who had quit the management of East Shan State along with Lim Min Xian, would need to stand up and bear the shame that had nothing to do with him......
It's like an old man in the east, who obviously didn't betray the country or lose the war, but he had to sign the treaty and was pointed out by thousands of people.
And when I was sitting in the car and rushing to the outskirts of Bang Kang, the moment I passed by the square, the live broadcast of this peace talk was being played on the big screen, and when Gu Feng said the sentence 'I admit that we lost the war between Eastern Shan State and Wa State', the whole square erupted into a tsunami of cheers!
I silently lowered the window at this moment, and all that poured into the car through the window was the shouts of the people!
"The war is over!"
"We won!"
I also saw someone rushing towards the monument in the rearview mirror, shouting at the cold stone monument: "Brother, uncle, do you hear, we won, this time we really won!" ”
"Really!"
At that time, my scalp was numb, because I didn't hear any laughter, only hysterical roars, it turned out that for the common people, the victory of the war could not be exchanged for any smiles, and what they lost was their closest relatives and flesh, how could they laugh.
What about the loser?
It's silence.
Deathly silence.
Ade sat in his room and opened the window, but he couldn't hear anything in the hustle and bustle of the city, he thought he would hear the crying and cursing, but none of this happened.
The people of East Shan hide their sadness with endless silence, like Baggio who missed a penalty in the World Cup, and he can only keep his head down to prove that he is still alive.
Anne, who couldn't see all this at all, had a smile on her face in her excitement, but Banbula's expression was tense at this time, and when Gu Feng said that: "As the defeated party, I ask the Wa State to take responsibility for the lives of the people of the entire Eastern Shan State." ”
Anne almost agreed directly, but Banbula reached out and pressed her hand, as if to hold her agitation, and said, "We will only be responsible for the law-abiding and lawful people of East Shan, provided that they have not violated any of the laws of East Shan and Wa." ”
This is the attitude of the winner, the closer to victory, the more careful, the more demanding the more careful, the more hasty the half-bula has now learned this hand, which is why he seems to be calm.
Lu Mingshan still didn't say anything, standing behind these two people, a pair of eyes under the cover of the dark face, staring at Gu Feng's eyes, for fear that he had missed something.
Anne continued: "As the defeated side, on behalf of the Wa State, I ask you to surrender unconditionally to the Wa State in this peace negotiation, and assure you that you will treat the entire East Shan State military and civilians with absolute fairness, and will do everything in Wa State to help the East Shan State develop its economy. ”
Gu Feng didn't speak, and the whole person became a little decadent, but Anne's words did not stop: "Wa State requires East Shan State to implement more comprehensive Wa laws and Wa economic system for unified management during the period of receiving help from Wa State, and we will not interfere with the freedom and ...... of any East Shan State people."
Gu Feng stood up suddenly: "What did you say?" ”
Anne responded, "Don't worry, Mr. Ancient, I haven't finished yet. ”
"Under the Wa legal system, we will deprive Mr. Ade, who is the main person responsible for provoking this war, of all powers, during which Mr. Ade will no longer be allowed to exercise the powers of the leader of East Shan State until the end of the trial."
Gu Feng was immediately reluctant, and asked with a glare, "You still want to judge Ade?" ”
Banbula immediately spoke: "Yes! ”
"And strip him of all his powers as the leader of Eastern Shan?"
Anne said aggressively: "This is what Mr. Ade admitted himself when he apologized to the people of Wa State before, and he said that if it were not for the villain's demagogy, he would not have provoked this war at all." Then, as the initiator of the war and the leader of the losing side, he must bear all the responsibility, which is what Mr. Ade promised to the camera on the day of his apology. ”
Gu Feng sat back in his chair, and he seemed to understand why Ade had to fight with the Wa State, because once the peace talks were made, the strong side would use its absolute superiority as a bargaining chip to kill everyone and abandon their armor.
It's like that famous philosophical question, humiliating life and gorgeous death, how to choose?
It's like that naughty Internet problem, ice cream-flavored or-smelled ice cream, which would you choose?
In fact, both of these questions belong to the loser's paradox, because in the loser there is never the right to choose, what you can choose depends only on what the winner is willing to give, isn't it?
Ade saw Gu Feng's dilemma on the TV, and he saw that Gu Feng, as a friend of his father, wanted to protect both Eastern Shan and protect himself with his old wings, and for this reason, he even did not hesitate to go to the battlefield and risk arrows.
He finally understood.
At this moment, there is no Wa State and no Eastern Shan State in his eyes, only the Qianfu after the end of this peace negotiation is left, and he even hears the voice that has never appeared and will appear in the quiet city.
"It's you, it's you who made Eastern Shan lose its dignity!"
"You are a sinner, you have made the East Shan State unrecoverable!"
Ade also saw his father, who was wearing a leaky garment in the black prison and smashing a hammer at a stone, and he saw his father slowly turn his head, his eyes filled with tears as he looked at him.
Xu Ruifeng......
The first step for Xu Ruifeng to take control of Eastern Shan State was to force himself to death, so it became necessary to constantly humiliate the leaders of one side during the peace talks.
This is not a war, this is what Ade thinks is a fairer game, but before he can end the game, he finds himself facing a player in a national uniform wearing a slippery title who has entered the novice area.
Ade smiled.
He was laughing at the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty who died on a tree with a crooked neck, and he was laughing at himself.
He was mocking them that if they wanted to leave their dignity, they had to untie their belts and hang them around their necks.
"I, the Wa State, also demand that in order to avoid the threat to the Wa State from the emergence of war maniats like Ade in the Eastern Shan State, the Eastern Shan State must disband its army, and from then on, the border security of the Eastern Shan State will be borne by the Wa State......"
When Anne said this last sentence on TV, Ade laughed even more presumptuously, and pointed at the TV with a gorgeous turn in his office alone!
"Only Death ......"
"Only death!"
"Why be aggressive!"
How could he, as the leader of East Shan, accept these conditions? The result of not accepting these conditions is to let the Wa State army overwhelm the border.
The Wa State will not miss any opportunity to destroy the Eastern Shan State, they would rather wear military boots and step on Ade's head and smash it with the butt of a gun!
He raised his hand and took out the matching gun from his belt, as smooth as Lin Minxian taught shooting skills when he was a child, and aimed the muzzle of the gun directly at his temple.
In that moment, the sunlight coming in through the window began to soften, and Ade stood in the shadow of the room, his gun exposed to the sunlight, like the last photo he had left for the world.
And, Ade's last words were: "Dad, I should listen to you." ”
