Chapter 1381 The second generation of the colony (first update, please subscribe)
Full mobilization!
I don't know how many people were affected by the recruitment order. Some people cheered and some were sad, but for the most part, the majority were active and enthusiastic.
Especially in the African colonies, those descendants of the gentry from the four provinces of Japan joined the army one after another. They have always called themselves the "Empire Samurai". Of course, they hope to serve the Empire in this war just like their fathers conquered Africa for the Empire.
Become a competent imperial warrior.
In addition to them, those who are more eager to fight are the East African mixed-race people called "Coffee". Their father is a Japanese commoner and their mother is a local aborigine. Compared with those who come from noble families, their skin color is darker, and their appearance is aboriginal.
The traces inevitably make them feel a little inferior, so they are more eager to make a difference on the battlefield and realize their own value. Of course, what is more important is to be recognized by the outside world.
In the Guangyang No. 3 Middle School in the Tanganyika colony, students here are now the same as students elsewhere. They are also talking about the war and how to serve the country.
For these teenagers, there is nothing more concerning than this. Even a timid person will pretend to be very brave and talk passionately about the war and how to serve.
Countries talk about how to kill their enemies on the battlefield.
"Hey! Long live, long live... Haha! I can go to the front line to serve His Majesty the Emperor!"
Suddenly there was an excited shout from the door of the classroom. Some students who were lying on their seats and taking a lunch break were awakened by the loud voice. A guy broke in from the door of the classroom. As soon as he entered the classroom, he yelled inside.
Xu Liqiang, who was awakened, looked up and saw a tall, curly-haired, dark-skinned mixed-race man with a big mouth running towards them, shaking his head.
Xu Liqiang said displeased when he saw him coming towards him and dumping his stinky sweat on his table.
"My village, what happened? Everyone is taking a rest!"
"ah!"
Xu Liqiang's reminder made the excited Benzhuang Fan quickly bow.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm so happy."
The reason why our village treats him with respect is not just because Xu Liqiang is a Chinese native of Shandong. Another reason is that his father works on the Xu family's farm.
"Eighteen years old! Eighteen years old! Haha, I went to the military service office and asked - as long as you are over 18 years old, you can sign up for military service on your own without waiting for conscription..."
After saying that, Honjo Shige said with his head held high.
"Haha, I'm already eighteen years old! Look..."
While speaking, Shigeru Honjo showed a piece of paper in front of everyone - the enlistment notice.
"Ah! Oh my god...it's really a notice of enlistment. I...you, you are an imperial soldier!"
For a moment, the class was full of surprises, and people looked at the notice in my hand with envy.
"Haha, yes, report in two days, students..."
Honjo Fanlizhengdao:
"From now on, I am an imperial soldier. Haha, I finally have the opportunity to serve the empire! I am loyal to His Majesty the Emperor..."
Looking at the proud owner, Xu Liqiang could not help but feel a little envious of this guy.
It's true that I envy a mixed-race person...
Like most of the classmates in the class, their fathers are from various parts of Japan. They are either working as supervisors on farms, doing small businesses or working in enterprises. Most of their mothers are from Tanganyika - there is no way
, Japanese women will marry Ming people whenever they have the chance, or at worst they will marry a nobleman. No one wants to marry an ordinary Japanese man. In their view, Japanese men are not only short in stature, but also vulgar in appearance. That is, they are not as tall as Ming men.
, and they are not as handsome and affectionate as the men of the Ming Dynasty. In a word, Japanese men... Japanese women do not marry.
However, in the African colonies, in the eyes of indigenous women, Japanese men were hot cakes. In the past two decades, tens of millions of Japanese men worked in African colonies, sweating for the colonial construction of the empire.
Gained love - combined with local people.
Honjo... is just one of the millions of mixed-race East Africans in the African colonies.
"Oh, you are so lucky!"
Standing up, Xu Liqiang said.
"Well, let's all come to my house tonight, and we'll have a bonfire party to see me off."
"real!"
Ben Zhuangfan looked at Xu Liqiang with a surprised look on his face, and his excitement was clearly visible in his words.
"Of course, you are going to the front line to serve the country, and it is natural for your classmates to see you off, don't you think?"
As soon as Xu Liqiang finished speaking, there was a burst of agreement in the classroom. No matter they were Ming people, Japanese or mixed race, at this time, they were all sincerely happy for me. Some classmates even patted me and said.
"After we reach England, we must find a white woman to be our wife. By then, your child's skin will definitely turn white!"
"Oh, I think so too, but can Bai Nu fall in love with me?"
"Haha, whether you like it or not, just let those British devils understand what the privilege of the winner is!"
Laughter rang in the classroom. For these teenagers, they are always so open and unpretentious...
That night, on the lawn in the backyard of the main house of the Xu family farm, the bonfire lit up the night sky. On the oven next to the bonfire, large pieces of beef were dripping with oil, and the long table was filled with various kinds of food.
While a few black maids were busy there, the teenagers gathered around the bonfire and laughed. The bonfire made everyone's faces red. Except for the boys, there were more than a dozen girls.
Everyone was chatting happily there and drinking wine. The wine was beer with a low alcohol content. The cold beer went perfectly with the barbecue. The flames of the bonfire made a crackling sound and sparks flew in and out. Everyone was relaxed.
Talking and laughing, it seemed as if the light of fire illuminated this thoughtful girl. From time to time, she was eating.
Honjo Shige, who was holding a glass of beer, saw the guitar next to Xu Liqiang. He squatted down, thought for a long time, and suddenly said to him.
"Can I try?"
"What's not allowed,"
After handing the guitar to Ben Zhuang, Xu Liqiang watched him play the guitar a few times and adjust it. Then Ben Zhuang Fan held the guitar and started playing, accompanied by a brisk melody and a hoarse singing voice.
"The grassland is shrouded in light mist, and the moon peeks out of the clouds, illuminating the quiet tombstones. The pale tombstones in the night protect the sleeping heroes, and the souls of the departed heroes rest here..."
When listening to Benzhuang singing this song "In the Wilderness of Africa", the students also sang along. This song was created to commemorate the soldiers who died during the expedition to Africa. The song itself is very beautiful, with a touch of
of gloom.
"The quiet wind blows away the mist in the African wilderness. Rest in peace, warriors! Empire, can you hear the sound of their fighting?..."
The classmates also sang along with him, and the singing voice and the slightly gloomy tune echoed in the night sky, sparks flying in and out around the teenagers, like fireflies.
"...Sleep, heroes of the empire, proud warriors of the empire! Fall for the empire, sacrifice for the empire."
That night, Xu Liqiang and his classmates were all drunk. The teenagers sang songs and cheered in front of the bonfire. They danced around the bonfire and jumped around in the bonfire.
Everyone was singing, everyone was laughing, and everyone thought this was the happiest day of their lives.
Looking at Benzhuang Fan surrounded by everyone, Xu Liqiang thought of his father, the supervisor on the farm, and asked his father to take care of him more. Well, he could ask his mother, a tall woman from the Chajia tribe, to take care of him.
The banker has given birth to five children. She can be asked to help on the farm...
Looking at the laughing classmates, Xu Liqiang, who had been recording the scene with his camera, said.
"Let's all come together and take a photo together."
"okay!"
Soon the teenagers crowded into two rows. Xu Liqiang handed the camera to his sister and asked her to take a group photo. He never thought that besides memories, this class would leave him with this photo. This is
Their last group photo.
Because it was night, the photo was not clear enough and even a little blurry. Later, there were fewer and fewer people in this photo. Many boys in the class had just grown up and joined the army...
Time will dilute memories, but today, for these teenagers, everything tonight will be their eternal memories...
The old group has died and a new book club group has been established: 739209015. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
