Chapter 49: If the city is broken, I would rather die!
The old man who took the lead was probably seventy or eighty years old, but he was very energetic and straight-backed.
He had seen Lin Fan on TV, and he actually gave him a military salute: "Wang Huguo, I have seen the commander-in-chief!"
This aura made Lin Fan stunned. Looking at the standard military salute and stance, Lin Fan frowned and said, "Have you ever been a soldier?"
"Support Korea!" the old man's voice sounded like a bell.
For a moment, even Lin Fan was in awe of this old man!
Lin Fan gave a military salute with full respect, and then called for someone to bring a chair for the old man to sit on.
Looking at the old man sitting on the chair, Lin Fan said complexly: "Since you have been a soldier, there are some things you can talk about."
"You should know the enemy we are about to face now."
"This relocation is a unified call from the country. In fact, it is also for the safety of our lives and property, don't you think so?"
Lin Fan said softly.
"Yeah." The old man nodded.
"We are building the Great Steel Wall here to stop the coming gods. Even if we try our best, we will not let the gods step into the Great Xia." Lin Fan said in a solemn tone, "But we must also make secondary preparations.
."
"The power possessed by the gods is simply too powerful."
"Moreover, they also have a large number of powerful believers."
"If there is no obstruction, or if some sea beast believers rush in, we will definitely hunt and kill you. But... you and the surrounding villages and towns are too close to the Great Steel Wall. What if..."
Lin Fan didn't need to say the rest.
"Anyway, it may be dangerous to continue to stay here." Lin Fan looked at the old man, "If you have any questions about the demolition compensation, just raise it. Under appropriate conditions, I can increase it for you."
However.
The old man suddenly said: "This is not a matter of compensation!"
"Huh?" Lin Fan was stunned.
The old man did not answer Lin Fan's doubts, but seemed to remember something. He looked at the land under his feet and said to himself: "Commander-in-Chief, guess how many years have we in Wangjia Village lived here?"
Lin Fan didn't know how to answer.
The old man thought to himself: "I don't know the details, I just know that my ancestors have lived here for generations. At least, it must have been hundreds of years, right?"
"Have there been no enemies in these hundreds of years?"
"Among other things, my father's generation was invaded by the Japanese."
"My father and the others were not bad guys, but they still used harpoons and native guns as weapons and fought with them to death! I still remember that when I was eight years old, my father rushed out with the native gun and never came back.
My mother just brought back a handful of bloody soil."
"My father's generation had little education and were just honest fishermen. To put it bluntly, if you ask him what patriotism is, he might not know what to say."
"He just thinks, this is our land, why should we hide from outsiders on this land?"
"Later, when I went to aid Korea, my mother only said one sentence."
"Son, fight hard! Don't let them step on our land!"
The old man's voice suddenly became louder. He looked at Lin Fan and said loudly: "Commander-in-Chief, I don't have many people in Wangjia Village, but we have lived here for hundreds of years. Why do we have to run away when the god comes?"
"The Japanese didn't even let us run away, so why do we have to run away now?"
"Anyway, if I don't run away, at worst, I'll just take the harpoon and fight those gods!"
The villagers behind the old man also burst out shouting!
"If you don't run away, you'll risk your life with them!"
"I don't care who the gods are. In our land, we are the masters!"
"Commander-in-Chief, if you usually ask for demolition, we will happily agree to it, because this land still belongs to Daxia, but if you want to say that an enemy is coming and you want us to run away, we will not agree!"
"This land is full of blood!"
"Run, where can we run? This is our home!"
"You haven't run away, and we can't run away either. This is Daxia you want to protect, and it's also the land we want to protect!"
"Don't give an inch of ground!"
Seeing this scene before him, Lin Fan suddenly didn't know how to persuade him.
This land is full of blood!
In the past, Lin Fan didn't understand the older generation's obsession with land. Because Lin Fan himself was just a high school student who grew up among high-rise buildings, he had no idea why those old people clung to their ancestral homes in the village.
.
But at this time.
Lin Fan knew.
This is their home!
This is their place for generations!
This is the deep-rooted nostalgia of the Daxia people for the land. Every inch of this land has been stained with the blood of their ancestors and has been protected by their ancestors with their lives!
It is also the foundation that Daxia has maintained for thousands of years!
"Commander-in-Chief..." The staff on the side were also in a dilemma.
"Huh," Lin Fan breathed out, "I can't persuade you."
As soon as these words came out, the villagers who refused to relocate fell silent instantly.
"Okay, let me say something," Lin Fan took the speaker from the staff and said in a deep voice: "First of all, we encourage you to move. It may be dangerous to stay here. If anyone is willing to move,
You can contact the staff at any time and evacuate in advance.”
"Secondly, if you refuse to relocate... starting from today, the highest command center will be located inside the Great Steel Wall. If we die, our soldiers will be the first to die!"
As soon as these words came out.
The soldiers present were stunned.
The command center is the top priority in battles of all sizes.
Without exception, everything is placed behind the battle line. Only in this way can the military commanders safely conduct command.
Once the command center is breached, the rest of the battle will be leaderless.
Therefore, even the most daring commander will set up his command center two or three kilometers away from the front line, and will not put the command center at the forefront.
However, the commander-in-chief wants to move the highest command center to the inside of the Great Steel Wall?
The Great Steel Wall is the first line of defense to stop the coming Ocean God!
"This is too dangerous." An officer whispered, "What if..."
"There is no such thing as a contingency. If the Great Wall of Steel is really breached, if the gods step into Daxia, then unless I die." Lin Fan said solemnly, "I just want to tell everyone."
"As long as we're alive."
"Daxia, the gods are forbidden to enter!"
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at the soldiers behind him, and said solemnly: "When the construction of the Great Steel Wall is completed, not only the command center, but also the soldiers' dormitories will be included in the Great Steel Wall."
"Everyone knows what will happen if the city is destroyed."
"If someone is afraid, say it now and I will transfer him away. I will never make things difficult for him."
For a while.
The air is silent.
A young soldier suddenly shouted: "If the city is destroyed, I would rather die!"
