Chapter 697: Eight Words Are Enough (Thanks to 'glaOglaO' for the 500 tip)
"According to the latest news from Xiao Mongla, the leader of East Shan State, Ade, drank bullets in his office after East Shan State surrendered to Wa State and signed the humiliating Non-Aggression Pact......
"The leader of the Wa State, Xu Ruifeng, will read the Wa State Victory Declaration at 12:00 noon today, which is the renamed 'Victory Square'."
"This is a historic moment and one that everyone in the whole of eastern Myanmar is about to witness, so let's wait and see what the Wa leader will say......"
At 11:50 p.m., I stood on the high platform in Victory Square and waited.
At this time, Victory Square was already overcrowded, and Yang Rong specially transferred back a regiment of Wa State Army to maintain order for my safety, and used a layer of green soldiers and a layer of people's sandwich biscuits on the square to let the people enter.
And I'm the first time I've seen so many people in my life.
"Anne ......"
I looked back, and saw that Anne was not there at all, and not far away, Anne was already busy with a spinning top, and whoever passed by her would be caught, and then immediately ordered something.
Why do I think of Anne at this time?
Because I'm nervous, my power doesn't come from the people, so when I face the people, I can't let go of it.
And the east side is my strongest backing!
"Master, it's time."
Anne had arranged everything and finally appeared at my side, and when she said this to me, I had the feeling that I was about to be pushed out of the execution ground.
"Okay."
I was about to walk forward from the stage, but Anne grabbed me, and then looked at me in surprise: "Master, I'll come first, how can I let you start?" ”
After that, Anne took the lead and walked up, held the microphone on the high platform and said, "Everyone~"
Airplanes!
An inopportune electric current flowed through the speakers, just enough to suppress the whispers in the crowd.
At that moment, everyone looked up at the high platform, and Anne looked at the black crowd and spoke again: "Today, no words can be worthy; At this moment, there is no description that can compare ......"
"Because we have finally ushered in this day in the two-and-a-half-year war, I would like to invite the leader of the new Wa State, Mr. Xu Ruifeng, to read the "Declaration of Victory" for us!"
Wow!
Thunderous applause!
This is the first time I have listened to the applause of the landslide, and the first time I have felt the attitude of all the Wa people towards me.
When I could feel my heart beating, I held the microphone in front of me with my hand, and all the Wa people I could see were waving their arms vigorously and applauding in the audience.
They are bitter!
From Kun Sha forcing them to plant black gold with a gun, to buying black gold for one dollar and one kilogram, it was bitter;
They nobody cares!
No one cares if they cry or laugh, no one cares if they live or die, no one cares if they are hungry or poor.
Throughout the Dark Ages of Southeast Asia, it was a gift from God to be alive......
I suddenly realized that what I was looking at was not the Wa people, but more like myself, the one who stood under the stage when he first arrived in Southeast Asia, the one who longed to be saved, who longed to be noticed, and couldn't make a sound when he tore his throat to shout.
However, there are so many 'mes' in the audience, why do they all have no 'mouths'?
"You ......"
When I subconsciously wanted to ask, I was startled by the sound of the microphone, and then I realized that I was swaying.
There is still me in the audience, just those people who look up at the people after the applause falls.
And when I turned to look back for Anne's help, I saw that the group of people who were supposed to be standing behind me on the high platform had changed!
Haika, Zhang Wenhe, and Annie are all gone, and the greenskins are gone, replaced by me, all smiling, waiting for me to speak...... I.
When I turned back and the people in the audience became who I was again, I finally understood what I was seeing.
This is my heart, the fragile heart that I need to help, the heart that gradually falls into darkness when no one is paying attention, and the heart that is walking on thin ice all the time, longing for someone to say a few words to me!
My heart was looking forward to the fact that I could defend myself from this high platform and talk about my heart's suffering, because I could finally speak......
"I ......"
I bowed my head in front of the microphone and laughed.
It turns out that it is so difficult for an ordinary person to open his mouth and speak to the world; It turns out that we are born to speak, and if we want to say what we think in our hearts, we have to go through so much!
You have to go through so many ......
"I announce."
I uttered these three words in a very low voice, but all the Wa people in the audience poked their heads out and listened.
At this point, the speech that I had prepared long ago no longer meant anything to me, and I was completely free to do whatever I wanted.
"The war of two and a half years in history is over."
Oh!!!!!
"The war is over!!!"
"No more wars!!!"
I've never seen such excited Wa people, I watched them jump in place, and when I smiled, they were raising their arms and cheering, and there was a rhythmic sound of landing throughout the square, and the crowd was constantly jumping and rising like waves.
The constant cacophony in my ears has taken on a different level.
"Why don't you tell them the truth?"
"Why don't you say what you've been through?"
"Why don't you describe the world as it really is!"
It's all my own voice.
In my spare time, I saw 'myself' on the stage surrounding me, in front of the cheering crowd in the audience, constantly accusing me.
And I, unmoved.
What can I tell them?
Does the war have anything to do with the common people of Wa State?
The benefits after the victory of the war belong to me; Glory belongs to the army; The common people are most at the mercy of the four words 'and honor', do I want to tear these four words apart in bloody darkness and say the reality I know?
I'm not going to do it, I'm never going to do it.
I would only tell them: "The Eastern Shan State has surrendered, and in the name of the defeated side, the Surrender Table has been handed over to us." ”
I would also tell them: "East Shan State will implement Wa laws from today, and the economic system will be in line with Wa State." ”
I would finally tell them, "The East Shan State is about to disband, and from now on, there will be no East Shan State army to threaten the safety of the Wa State, on the contrary, the border of the East Shan State will be guarded by our Wa State Army!" ”
I will use the most gentle posture to put a needle in the crook of the arm of all the Wa people in the square to maintain my rule, but I will not say a word about me, about the world.
"I announce! Wa, victorious!!!! ”
When I shouted this sentence at the loudest volume of my life, the speakers almost didn't let me shout, and the people shouted louder than me, and even the spontaneous, neat stomping sound came from the square.
Tom!
Tom!
"Victory!!"
Tom!
Tom tom!!
"We won!!"
But I was about to turn around and leave, but I saw that all of myself on the stage had disappeared, and Haika also returned to his original state and asked Zhang Wenhe: "Why did our master just say these two words, too little, right?" ”
Zhang Wenhe glanced at him and responded: "Actually, I just said eight words." ”
"Which eight words?"
"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity." (End of chapter)
