Chapter 332 If the country needs it, I am willing
If your son is still alive.
Are you still willing to let him step into the battlefield again?
This is an extremely vexing question.
It's like you loved someone deeply and lost her. After you tried every means to get her back to you, you lost her for the second time.
The old woman was stunned.
It seemed that she was deeply immersed in this problem in her muddy and confused mind.
If her son was still alive, how could she be willing to let go?
How can I bear to push my hope into the abyss again?
But the old woman's answer made Bai Liang lose heart. She rubbed the martyr medal hanging on the wall, and her eyes became clear for a moment, no longer stupid and crazy. She said: "If the country needs him, I will
I am willing to let him continue to fight on the battlefield."
Bai Liang saw the loneliness and reluctance in the old woman's eyes. He stared at this scene for a long time, and then asked again: "Really? That battlefield will probably bury him."
The silly old woman forced a smile and raised the Medal of Martyrs in her palm. Although the night was dark, the medal seemed to outshine all lights. Her eyes were blurred and she said: "He is my son and the son of the country."
Ah, I gave birth to him, but it was the mountains and rivers of Zhongzhou that raised him. If the country needs it, if Zhongzhou needs it, he should fight for his family and country, instead of guarding me, an old child..."
Bai Liang was heartbroken after hearing this.
He stared at the old woman blankly.
Not only did I see the reluctance and loneliness in the old woman's eyes, but I also saw the deeper sense of righteousness.
Between family and country, the old woman chose country to be greater than family. Between family affection and righteousness, she chose righteousness. Maybe she felt sad at this moment, but she smiled bitterly and firmly.
"These are the people of Zhongzhou..."
Bai Liang comforted the old woman to sleep, and then quietly left with a complicated and heavy heart. When he walked out of this residential area and saw the brightly lit southern city under the stars at night, his inner mood suddenly became generous.
powerful.
It was the old woman who gave him the confidence.
This confidence is the people of Zhongzhou!
Not far away, Jinan Provincial City government officials hurried over with dense guards, immediately blocked the entrance to the neighborhood near Bai Liang, and then respectfully came to Bai Liang.
"Holy Tree, you didn't even tell us in advance when you came to Ji Nan Provincial City, we are ready to welcome you."
"It's okay, I'll just look around." Bai Liang glanced at the surveillance cameras everywhere, and suddenly his eyes locked on a certain official.
Liu Changan, a senior official in the southern provincial capital, is responsible for military logistics, including soldier casualty statistics and a series of trivial matters.
"Uh, Holy Tree, do you have any instructions?"
Liu Changan asked cautiously.
Bai Liang was silent for a moment and asked: "Is there a martyr named Chen Tian in the southern provincial capital?"
Liu Changan immediately nodded: "Yes! A company commander of the 78th Army is definitely a brave and capable warrior. He killed dozens of third-level beasts in the battle of Guxiao Kingdom. The Holy Tree whispered, "Don't worry, every martyr has passed through
Repeated investigations..."
Bai Liang gently raised the willow branch and interrupted Liu Changan's words. He smiled and said: "I am not asking for guilt, nor am I questioning whether you have judged a good martyr. I am only asking, did that person disappear or did he really die in battle?"
Liu Changan was stunned, his mind was racing with thoughts. Although he didn't know why the Holy Tree suddenly paid attention to an ordinary soldier, he still said honestly: "Missing!"
Bai Liang sighed inwardly.
Is he really missing?
Then why should he be judged as a martyr?
"Don't worry, Holy Tree, Chen Tian and I are from the same hometown. Although he is missing, I can guarantee that he is definitely not a deserter!"
Liu Chang'an gritted his teeth and said: "Besides, Chen Tian's family is very difficult. His mother is stupid and his father is disabled. With one more martyr medal, his family can get an extra pension. I was thinking..."
"Okay, no need to say anything."
Bai Liang saw Liu Changan's nervousness.
But he has already thought of the causes and consequences of this matter.
It should be that Chen Tian disappeared and the old woman became stupid. Then Liu Changan decided that Chen Tian was a martyr out of sympathy, pity, sponsorship, or selfishness, so that the old woman could get a pension that guaranteed her life.
Although it is against the law, it is sentimental.
But Liu Changan was frightened.
Liu Chang'an was responsible for reviewing the martyr medals. It can be said that the martyr medals in the old woman's home were distributed by him personally. If he was judged as a martyr out of selfishness, he would probably be imprisoned.
In addition, Bai Liang asked the question in person.
The angle of questioning is so tricky and deadly.
Liu Changan could be said to be nervous to the core of his bones.
"No! Holy Tree, listen to me, I am really not corrupt!"
It's a pity that Liu Changan's brainstorming ability is too strong.
When he heard the Holy Tree telling him to shut up, his whole body felt as if he was struck by lightning. The Holy Tree himself became angry. This was probably something that even the most vicious people in Zhongzhou had not experienced, but he had experienced it.
"Everyone, go first! Everyone, go first, give me a chance!"
Liu Changan drove away all his colleagues, and when he and Bai Liang were the only ones left here, he knelt on the ground with a thud, crying until tears streamed down his face, and he broke down in sobs.
"Holy Tree, please listen to me."
"I really didn't commit any crime on purpose."
Liu Changan hugged one of Bai Liang's tree roots and burst into tears. He looked aggrieved. He cried and shouted: "When we determined that Chen Tian was missing, Chen Tian's mother went crazy and injured her husband who tried to stop her."
, frantically running out of the city to find her son."
"I can't bear it, I really can't bear it."
"My mother is stupid and crazy, and my father is disabled and injured."
"We have no contact with our relatives and friends."
"If I don't help them, they will be the ghosts that no one cares about in Jinan City. I can't just watch the soldiers' parents turn into ghosts, so I revised the judgment result for Chen Tian and put a martyr medal and two hundred
Send ten thousand Zhongzhou coins to her home..."
Liu Changan burst into tears.
Bai Liang chuckled when he saw this.
Although I didn't intend to blame it.
But let me tell you something, Liu Changan's brainstorming ability is a bit outstanding.
"It's okay, I understand." Bai Liang calmed Liu Changan's mood and said casually: "Let me ask you a question, do you think if millions of soldiers are killed in this war between the East and the West, do we, the people of Zhongzhou, suffer from this?
Holding grudges against us, even calling us the executioners who killed their children?"
Liu Changan stopped crying and said in a daze: "Ah... it shouldn't be possible. After all, our people's soldiers all have... No, no... As long as there are too many casualties, the demands of the people will definitely skyrocket, and many people will definitely criticize them.
Officials even launched a so-called uprising..."
After hearing this answer, Bai Liang just said lightly: "Second question, if Chen Tian returns to Jinan City alive, do you think Chen Tian's mother is still willing to let Chen Tian join this East-West war?"
Chapter completed!
