Once the long-suppressed public emotions are released, it can be devastating.
Democracy, as a thing, has changed since it was introduced into the Chinese world. It has changed from the minority obeying the majority to the minority requiring the majority to obey the minority.
How can this be democracy? This is simply populism.
Maybe some Chinese people are too smart, or maybe they were induced by someone with good intentions, so things evolved like this.
But for Huang Li and others, they don't understand democracy, and they don't want to accept the so-called democracy. The military is a violent law enforcement agency, and if they want democracy and freedom, they are just asking for trouble.
Ever since Huang Li and the others first joined the Foreign Legion, Qin Zhiyuan had instilled an idea into Huang Li and the others: the Chinese should strengthen themselves.
Qin Zhiyuan's version of Chinese people should strive for self-improvement. It does not mean that they can devour Wu with three thousand Yuejia without pay, nor does it mean tolerating him, letting him avoid him, being patient with him, respecting him and ignoring him. You will see him in a few years.
.
What Qin Zhiyuan means is: If someone dares to scold you, then you will fight back; if someone dares to hit you, then you will kill him
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is not enough. It means that at least there are people who dare to offend you. You have to make people dare not glare at you at all.
This of course refers to when facing foreigners. As for how to deal with Chinese people, Qin Zhiyuan did not emphasize it because there was no such objective fact at the time.
This caused Huang Li and others to have a vengeful attitude when dealing with others, and the retaliation was double.
After returning to China, Huang Li and the others did not adjust their emotions in time because they did not realize there was anything wrong with this.
Therefore, when Huang Li heard someone insulting him, Huang Li and all the soldiers who heard this voice became excited.
Huang Li looked in the direction from which the sound came, and immediately discovered that a gangster-looking boy with a sharp mouth and a monkey's cheeks, wearing a silk jacket and a wide belt, was making his way into the crowd, trying to blend himself into the crowd.
Soldiers always have a tough attitude when dealing with problems.
So Huang Li stretched out his hand, and five or six soldiers immediately rushed over, trying to control the kid.
But how could the people who were in the midst of agitated public sentiments allow these traitors in their minds to succeed, so the people immediately held up their hands and stopped in front of the soldiers of the Foreign Legion, preventing them from arresting the perpetrators.
To be honest, at that moment, a soldier of the Foreign Legion did cross his rifle and pushed the people in front of him, trying to separate the crowd.
As a result, this action caused even greater riots.
The person who was pushed was a young man who looked like a student in a cardigan. When he was pushed, the young man first widened his eyes in disbelief, and then suddenly became angry and faced the foreign legion soldiers.
He grabbed it, still shouting: They are beating people, these French dogs are beating people.
The anger of the crowd broke out instantly. Countless people rushed forward with bayonets in hand, and countless pieces of rotten cabbage, dirt and rocks were thrown at the soldiers of the Foreign Legion.
without any fear
Is there really no fear?
Students are a very special group. The long-term official-oriented thinking and long-term worship of culture have caused the Beiyang government to always be restrained when facing these students.
Almost since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty has always been particularly tolerant of students, because for the ruling class, students belong to the category of preparatory bureaucrats and are equivalent to tools for the court to implement its rule, so naturally they will not be too demanding.
Although the Republic of China was established, in the eyes of the Beiyang government, these students were still members of the preparatory bureaucracy group as before. Naturally, the Beiyang government was polite to their future colleagues. This also caused the students as a group to be in a bad position during the Republic of China.
Extremely special.
Not to mention facing the bayonets of soldiers, even when facing the president and prime minister, these students dared to stand up to each other. This is not an exaggeration at all.
What's more, when they saw the students starting to rush forward, the soldiers of the Foreign Legion almost subconsciously raised their rifles high, for fear of accidentally injuring the civilians, which further aggravated the public's emotions.
As a result, countless people shouted and cursed, and got entangled with the soldiers of the Foreign Legion. Some were shouting and cursing, some were fighting hard, and some even started to snatch the rifles from the soldiers' hands.
If we follow the custom in Europe, even if the soldiers do not directly use bayonets at this time, they will use rifle butts, short sticks, whips and other weapons to start a counterattack. However, facing the excited Chinese, facing these familiar and unfamiliar faces
, facing those eyes that showed unforgettable hatred, the soldiers of the Foreign Legion could not raise their weapons no matter what.
Perhaps because they wanted to see what kind of tricks the soldiers of the Foreign Legion had, the policemen who were still maintaining order just now had all disappeared. Instead, there were a few Indian policemen with turbans on their heads raising their hands.
Shortstick rushed over to try to help.
Those Indians picked up sticks and smashed them into the faces of the excited people. They didn't care whether they were men or women. At the same time, they were still shouting: "Get away, you yellow-skinned dogs"
Suddenly, there were cries of mourning. The people who were full of motivation when facing the foreign legions lost their courage when facing the Indian police. It is not appropriate to describe them as running away, but the crowding commotion was unavoidable. I could hear faintly.
Some people were crying and some were being pushed down.
Groupware is actually not afraid of commotion, but of stampedes. Once a stampede occurs, tragedy will almost certainly occur.
Seeing the Indian police coming to help, the soldiers of the Foreign Legion were not grateful. Instead, when they heard someone yelling and cursing, a soldier swung his rifle butt and hit a big man who was waving a short stick hard.
On the neck of the bearded policeman, he was also yelling: Get out, get out of here, I don’t need your help, get out of here.
This episode immediately aroused the interest of many Chinese people. What they wanted to see most was the internal strife between the fake foreign devils and the real foreign devils.
Surprisingly, in the face of the rifle butts of the foreign legionnaires, the Indian police did not dare to say anything nonsense. Instead, they laughed and returned to their original position. Including the bearded policeman who was beaten, they just rubbed their hands.
I walked back with my neck in my hands without even a murmur of complaints.
How could it be possible? On the European battlefield, the Indian Legion has more than one million troops, but it has never taken the initiative to launch any war. Even their masters, the British, were only qualified to fight side by side with the foreign legions. The Indian soldiers simply
Not even qualified to fight.
Oh, the British are fighting for the Senegalese, not directly cooperating with the Chinese troops. It is estimated that if they cooperate with the Chinese troops, the British will only be responsible for taking in the prisoners.
When they saw the soldiers of the Foreign Legion being so aggressive in the face of the Indian police, hitting and scolding them whenever they wanted, and then seeing the soldiers of the Foreign Legion refusing to fight back or swearing back when facing their own people, many students
They stopped unconsciously.
Although education has begun to gradually expand during the Republic of China, it has not yet reached the point where everyone can go to school in the 21st century. Those who can go to school are all elites. Students may be tempted to hate the Foreign Legion, but when
When they see the performance of the Foreign Legion with their own eyes, they will analyze it themselves.
The army in front of me was obviously different from the one in the rumors.
Although their faces turned red with anger because of the insult, they tried their best to control their emotions.
Although they were full of grievances because of the misunderstanding, they did not complain.
Although the bayonets in their hands shone with cold light, they did not use them to deal with the people who were malicious to them.
Look at the skillful manner and decisive attitude of the foreign legionnaire in dealing with the Indian policeman. They had the ability to inflict violence, but they did not do it. They did nothing, even if their eye circles were red, even if their hands were shaking,
Even though there were scratches and drool on their faces and rotten cabbage leaves on their heads, they still didn't do anything.
Such troops cannot be violent and cannot be the demons that exist in newspapers.
Get out, French dogs, get out of the Republic of China
There are still people shouting slogans, but fewer and fewer people are catering to them.
Er, a soldier of the Foreign Legion suddenly staggered back, backed out of the human wall of soldiers, and then stumbled to the ground.
The waiting military doctor and two blond and blue-eyed nurses immediately ran over and dragged the soldier back.
Seeing the blond nurse with blue eyes simply aroused the people's hatred for foreigners, so countless rotten leaves and stones were immediately thrown at them, and the accompanying insults were unbearable.
Having been with the Chinese soldiers for more than two years, these nurses actually understand some Chinese. They can naturally understand what those people are cursing. However, the two nurses did not retaliate. Instead, one stood up to shield the wounded from the violent storm.
Like rotten leaves and rocks.
What a familiar scene. Almost all the soldiers immediately remembered the Corsica dock incident. The heroic Cartier stepped forward to protect the wounded soldiers and was beaten by thugs until their faces were bloody. The photo was hanging on the wall of the Honor Room of the Foreign Legion. Cartier
There is even a heroic sculpture of Cartier with open arms on the pier of Isla Signa.
So more soldiers rushed forward. They stopped in front of the nurse, protected the nurse and retreated with the soldier who fell to the ground.
After exiting twenty or thirty meters, it was already a place where rocks could not reach. The military doctor quickly cut open the clothes on the soldier's abdomen. After a brief inspection, he made a judgment: the knife wound was about two centimeters wide and five centimeters deep, and there were a large number of wounded.
Blood loss requires immediate surgery and preparation for blood transfusion. As the military doctor said, he lay on the wounded man's chest and read the military sign: blood type B, prepare a blood bag.
Huang Li only heard the word "knife wound" in his ears. The presence of a knife meant that the crowd in front of him was not only people who didn't know the truth, but also thugs with ulterior motives.
Everyone pays attention to what Huang Li wants to give an order to do something.
Now, Huang Li finally understood why those officials tried their best to prevent the foreign legion soldiers from landing, and finally understood what they meant when they said it was not suitable to show up.
At this moment, more chaotic exclamations came from the crowd.
Kill someone
Dead people
The foreign legion is killing people
Almost instantly, similar exclamations came from several places.
Dead people
This was a big event. The police who had disappeared just now appeared immediately, and the enthusiasm of the people immediately subsided, including the students. Their reliance was that the soldiers did not dare to take action. When this reliance no longer existed, the scholars were calmer than anyone else.
Almost everyone was retreating, trying to disengage.
After everyone retreated, nearly a hundred people were lying on the ground.
These were all people who had just been squeezed down by the angry crowd. Their bodies were covered with various footprints. If they were lying on their backs, their faces would be blue and purple, and their eyes would be wide open, staring at the sky, as if they were asking why.
Immediately, military doctors and nurses rushed forward and gradually examined the people on the ground who were still dying.
but it's too late
The military doctor who was checking was moving faster and faster.
Finally after checking the last one.
The military doctor knelt on the ground and screamed in tears: Is this what you want? What on earth do you want to do?
what to do
A voice from the crowd soon answered him: Get out, we want you to get out.
The tragedy in front of them stimulated all the calm and uncool people, and their voices gradually expanded and converged into a loud roar: Get out.
Get out
Get over there. This is our country too.
But at this moment, the expressions on everyone's faces were blank, including some who were gloating just now. To be continued.
