Chapter 100 Cross Brazier
"But..." Jin Zhenyu asked with a long voice: "The army is still the same army, and the people are still those. Will the transformation of the political system have such a big impact?"
"Of course!" Pang Jindong nodded vigorously and further analyzed: "MD soldiers now generally believe that war is for the generals! And those generals are dictatorial and incompetent, and the soldiers are not satisfied at all! What's more, if the war is won, the credit is for the general; if the failure is made, the responsibility is for the soldiers! But if the mD becomes a democratic system, it means that ordinary soldiers and ordinary people become the masters of the country, and at least have the right to choose the leader they want, rather than passively accepting the imposed Yuan! Just imagine, fighting for their own country is the same as fighting for the general's government?"
Jin Zhenyu thought for a moment and nodded: "It makes sense."
"If this is the case, not only will the government forces strengthen their combat power..." Taking a deep breath, Pang Jindong said with concern: "What is even more worrying is that international public opinion's attitude towards the Kokang War will also change!"
"Why?"
"Western society has an innate sense of disgust towards dictatorial governments and will fully support any opposition forces of dictatorial governments. No matter what these forces are, the reason is that dictatorial governments do not respect the will of the people! But anything democratic md can be regarded as the will of the people, and it is difficult for Western countries to raise objections again! Because Western countries often oppose a government, but there are not many times when they oppose the whole people of a country. In history, only a few cases like Serbs have been born!"
Jin Zhenyu looked at Pang Jindong and did not express his opinions on these words, but sighed: "You are indeed insightful!"
"Actually, these are not big theories. It's just that the generals of the military government are used to the decaying environment and will not have any progressive ideas! Even if they realize it, they are unwilling to face it because they want to protect their vested interests!" After a moment of silence, Pang Jindong said with concern: "But there are no people who can make progress in a decaying environment. If this person has outstanding talents and cooperates with a certain spirit of dedication and sacrifice, then it is completely possible to change this environment!"
"For example, Lieutenant General Ava?"
"right!"
Perhaps he did not agree with Pang Jindong's previous analysis, but Jin Zhenyu still agreed with these words.
Looking back, before liberation, many officials and soldiers of the old government resolutely joined the revolution because they realized the system's strength and degeneration.
"That's to say..." Jin Zhenyu curled his lips and slowly raised: "Lieutenant General Awa was born within the system, but he would rather give up his own interests and fight for more people!"
"I can only say that this is possible!" Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders and said relaxedly: "It's still too early to say everything now. It depends on how the situation will develop next. Perhaps Lieutenant General Awa is not as selfless as I imagined, and more likely is that he has no effect at all! Because the military government has formed a complete and stable system, which runs through all classes from top to bottom and covers the entire society, and it will not allow anyone to make any changes!"
"Then let's wait and see!" Jin Zhenyu looked at Pang Jindong for a moment, and stopped talking.
Pang Jindong noticed Jin Zhenyu's expression and asked with a smile: "Is there anything else?"
"I have a question, I just wanted to ask you..."
"Speaking……"
Jin Zhenyu took a few deep breaths, thought about the words, and asked, "What would you do if you didn't receive fair treatment this time?"
"You mean, will I still be loyal to the country?"
Seeing that Pang Jindong had already said it through, Jin Zhenyu admitted calmly: "Yes!"
"My attitude towards this country has nothing to do with some people being nice to me or bad to me, but because my blood is closely linked to this land, so I hope this country will have a better tomorrow..."
"It's best if you can think so..."
"And I have such confidence. Our country and people have a characteristic, that is, they can always make mistakes in time and correct them, and learn enough experience and lessons from them!" Pang Jindong smiled and shook his head, saying with some emotion: "When it comes to this, many people may not believe it. That is because they have never thought about why several ancient civilizations in the world have been destroyed, but only we have stood here for thousands of years! Several times they have been invaded by powerful foreign enemies, and they can still rise again!"
Jin Zhenyu was infected by Pang Jindong's emotions and nodded very hard: "You are right!"
"In plain words, if we don't have any trouble, our country and nation would be done hundreds of years ago! So if we say this, being able to find and reflect on our own shortcomings is not the most important specialty!" Pang Jindong said this and raised his head high: "I believe that one day, we will look down on the whole world, just like we did a thousand years ago!"
Jin Zhenyu laughed: "If that's true, I'm willing to die!"
The two of them chatted for a few more times, and Pang Jindong hurried home, but was shocked as soon as he entered the door.
With Tang Yun and Pang Wushuang as they were all lined up in front of the door, looking at Pang Jindong with a solemn expression. Everyone was holding a tree strip in their hands, with many green leaves growing on it.
Pang Jindong was stunned: "What's wrong with you...you all?"
As soon as Pang Jindong finished speaking, everyone rushed over and slapped Pang Jindong's body with tree strips.
"Hey! Hey! What are you going to do?" Pang Jindong kept dodging, but he was still photographed a lot, but no one tried hard, so he didn't feel any pain at all.
"This is a grapefruit leaf, which is to ward off evil spirits and drive away bad luck!" Pang Wushuang explained while beating: "Brother, you are so unlucky recently, you should find a way to get along with your luck!"
"What a joke?" After finally waiting for everyone to stop, Pang Jindong finally got rid of it and said dissatisfiedly: "If a few leaves can do anything, I will take a train to send it to the battlefield!"
Tang Yun smiled: "Sometimes, it's impossible not to believe in evil!"
"Tsk!" Pang Jindong spit out the word like a girl, then walked into the villa, but it was not finished.
There is a large basin in the yard, with a raging charcoal fire burning inside. You can feel the burning heat wave if you get a little closer.
Pang Jindong asked in surprise: "Isn't it because I was asked to cross the brazier?"
"Brother, you are so smart!" Pang Wushuang patted Pang Jindong's shoulder with a solemn expression on his face: "Ghosts and monsters are broken, and one fire is gone. The disaster will come, and you will be safe and safe."
Customs such as grapefruit leaves and cross-brazier are prevalent in the south, while in the north, it can only be seen occasionally in rural areas in some areas.
Pang Jindong is from the north and has lived abroad for many years, so he doesn't know much about these things, but he just remembers that he seems to have seen similar scenes in TV series.
Although Pang Wushuang's ancestors were from the north, she lived in MD all year round and was naturally influenced by the customs of the country. In addition, a considerable number of people in the Kokang Republic Army came from the southern coastal areas, so she herself believed in these things very much.
Seeing Pang Jindong standing there, Pang Wushuang urged: "This is all for your own good, you can cross quickly!"
Pang Jindong said frowningly: "I can do it, but the fire is too strong!"
"The more powerful it is, the more effective it is!"
"nonsense!"
"Oh!" Seeing that his efforts were going to be wasted, Pang Wushuang stomped his feet in a hurry: "You have even been through the bullets, why are you still afraid of just a brazier?"
"That's different!" Pang Jindong wanted to tell Pang Wushuang that although the war was terrible, it would not burn the crotch, and the fire that Pang Wushuang pointed was enough to give him a surgical operation on the spot. However, considering that Pang Wushuang was not familiar with men and women, Pang Jindong did not say this.
Pang Wushuang pushed Pang Jindong: "What are you waiting for!"
Tang Yun saw Pang Jindong's embarrassment and smiled and ordered Liao Chenghao: "I think the fire is really too strong, so you should pour some water!"
Liao Chenghao nodded: "Okay!"
Liao Chenghao was completely forced by Pang Wushuang to participate because he knew very well that Pang Jindong was not a vicious person, so he was worried that these arrangements would anger Pang Jindong.
Tang Yun's words undoubtedly gave a chance to show her innocence, so Liao Chenghao hurriedly did it, but he was too over-expressed and brought too much water to extinguish the fire.
"Damn!" Pang Wushuang stomped his feet a few times and accused Liao Chenghao: "What are you doing?"
"I..." Liao Chenghao spread his hands and looked at Tang Yun as if asking for help.
Tang Yun coughed twice and said, "Since the fire is extinguished, I think I won't cross it!"
"It's even more unlucky to extinguish the fire!" Pang Wushuang shook his head and said firmly: "So you must cross it, and you must cross it well!"
"I said..." Pang Jindong wanted to dissuade Pang Wushuang, but Pang Wushuang didn't listen at all. He disappeared in a flash. He took a larger basin back.
Pang Wushuang had obviously made sufficient preparations, poured half a bag of charcoal into the basin, and then started pouring gasoline.
"You want to set fire!" Pang Jindong hurriedly grabbed Pang Wushuang and said almost begging: "It's almost done!"
"Okay!" Pang Wushuang was unwilling to let his brother get injured, so he immediately packed up the gasoline, then scratched a match and threw it into the basin.
With a "bang", a ball of fire immediately burst into the basin, rolling black smoke came out, and many sparks were often splashed out.
Pang Wushuang looked at the fireball and shook his head: "The quality of this charcoal is too poor, it is not smokeless!"
"Since that's the case, you'd better keep the barbecue. I'm going to take a shower first!" Pang Jindong said as he was about to walk into the house, but was hugged by Pang Wushuang from behind.
"Brother, this is all for your own good. Just listen to your sister once!" Pang Wushuang said anxiously while pushing Pang Jindong towards the brazier.
Of course, Pang Jindong's strength is greater than Pang Wushuang, but worried that he would accidentally hurt his sister, Pang Jindong did not dare to struggle too hard, but was pushed forward step by step.
But Rao was like this, and Pang Wushuang was so tired that she was panting. She looked at the others and urged: "What are you waiting for? Come and help me!"
When everyone heard this sentence, they turned their heads in unison as if nothing had been born.
But there is one exception, that is He Yue.
As a man, he knew the possible damage caused by crossing the brazier, but he was even more afraid of Pang Wushuang, so he ran over to help push Pang Jindong together.
Pang Jindong pointed at He Yue's nose and scolded: "He Yue, you are useless and you have become bronchitis before you get married!"
He Yue said sadly: "Brother, I have no choice, just forgive me!"
"Forgive you? Dream!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely burn you seven years, and on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month, I will definitely burn incense for you! You can go with peace of mind and bless the whole family with ordinary wife, the princes and marquis for generations, the grains are abundant, and the livestock are prosperous..."
Pang Jindong was stunned when he heard this: "Where did you learn these words from the banana man?"
Pang Wushuang was unhappy and knocked He Yue hard on the head: "What are you talking nonsense? It seems that my brother is going to die... Bah! Bah! Bah! No taboos! Good luck..." Pang Wushuang realized that he had lost his words, and vomited several times, then continued: "What you said about my brother seems to be going through!"
He Yue dared not argue with Pang Wushuang, so he had to push it harder.
Pang Jindong's kung fu was stunned just now, and his strength was relaxed. Pang Wushuang and He Yue took advantage of the loophole and pushed it to the edge of the brazier.
Pang Jindong felt that his skin was almost torn. Seeing that he had to step on, he had to take out the greatest explosive power in his life and shot it in one step.
Pang Wushuang clapped his hands and kept jumping up with joy: "Okay, okay, good luck!"
"Okay! It's okay!" Pang Jindong had a gloomy face and then entered the living room.
Pang Wushuang was about to follow him in, but suddenly sniffed hard a few times and asked strangely: "Do you smell the smell of barbecue?"
He Yue smiled bitterly and asked back: "What do you think?"
"You said I've burned my brother?" Pang Wushuang shook his head and said confidently: "No, my brother is strong, this flame is nothing!"
He Yue whispered: "No matter how strong a man is, he has a vulnerable place!"
Pang Wushuang widened his eyes and asked curiously: "Where?"
"Oh..." He Yue hesitated for a moment, then pointed to his chest: "Heart!"
The others did not have the patience of He Yue and would definitely not say so much to Pang Wushuang. They just gave Pang Wushuang a blank look and then followed Pang Jindong in.
Pang Jindong sat on the sand, feeling a faint pain below, and couldn't help but sigh.
Tang Yun saw Pang Jindong's pain, walked over and asked in a low voice, "Is that okay?"
Pang Jindong curled his lips uneasyly: "It's so good!"
