Chapter 1450: 977 Arrival_2

Just like Jiang Chen understands, the young Taoist nun is a genuine foodie, surely she also knows his true nature.

"We can do business, but not be friends."

The Taoist nun sister looked at Boss Jiang and said this.

"What if I become friends with them?"

Jiang Chen replied casually.

"I would break your leg."

A quest for benevolence can lead to benevolence.

That face, just like a pure child.

Jiang Chen really doesn’t know if the other party is joking, but he does feel like laughing.

And this time he truly laughed out loud.

Tanki Liuli, who made the ruthless statement, tilted her head to one side, gazing at the scenery retreating outside the window.

Jiang Chen observed with a warm smile.

This is more like it.

How can a sect completely go astray, they must have some similarities.

"If you break my leg, I would become disabled, unable to care for myself, then what should I do?"

This question.

Undoubtedly very silly.

Like a child before third grade, definitely wouldn’t ask it during the first half of fourth grade.

It’s just like someone breaking your leg, and you ask them what to do?

The one asking the question, Jiang Chen, is peculiar, but the slightly chivalrous Tanki Liuli is more peculiar.

She looked over.

"I will take care of you."

"Haha."

Jiang Chen laughed even louder.

Take a look.

So clear between public and private affairs.

Breaking your leg and continuing to take care of you are two separate matters.

"Actually, I’m in the same camp as you, have no affection for this country. However, a country cannot represent all its people, being friends with Dongying people shouldn’t be considered treason, right?"

Boss Jiang adapted to the winds.

"There is no good person here."

Tanki Liuli asserted firmly, leaving no room.

Jiang Chen paused in his speech.

"In that era, it wasn’t just the soldiers of this country, the civilians here equally had no humanity."

The exceptionally reticent Tanki Liuli stared into his eyes.

"Without the support of civilians, no country can wage war."

Jiang Chen lightly coughed, looking around. "Keep your voice down. I know you can fight, but there are Dongying people everywhere here, if they can’t beat you, they’ll gang up on me."

What is a smart person.

Understands to size up the situation.

Though deflecting with humor, Jiang Chen roughly grasped seven to eight points of the Taoist nun sister’s "worldviews."

And.

Feels in agreement.

Don’t just say it’s the soldiers who fight the wars, the soldiers who commit various atrocities too.

Soldiers are just pushed to the front line.

Tanki Liuli concluded deftly,

The driving force behind the war machine isn’t the various parts on the links, but its people.

The Emperor, as the leader, rightfully bears most of the sins, but the fanatic soldiers who sworn allegiance to him, rushing to the front lines without fear of death, is it truly just for an ideology they might not have even seen?

Maybe for some, but that’s just part of it.

What truly propels the flourishing of militarism, driving Dongying men to the front lines, the real impetus is actually their mothers, wives, and sisters.

Regarding history, Jiang Chen considers himself merely interested; that lecture at Kyoto University showed a carefree demeanor, yet in reality used all he had learned. However, there is a part of history he researched deeply but didn’t mention at that class where he needed to showcase his eloquence.

Even among "like-minded" people, some words can only be said by the Taoist nun sister, not by him.

Pushing the sins onto the executors of war is understandable, but executioners cannot carry such heavy blood debts; it’s what’s behind the executioner that’s truly shocking.

Many knowledge points.

Textbooks won’t teach.

Because peace is the main theme of the new era.

For example, in last century’s brutal war, before Dongying men went off to fight, women would find them to bid farewell.

Farewells seem ordinary.

But their farewells, contrary to tearful separations.

The women would be all smiles, even "singing and dancing," and they’d endlessly exhort their men to be loyal to the Emperor, to go off to die happily, proclaiming that they are accomplishing the world’s greatest, most honorable task.

Hard to imagine, right?

Indeed, hard to imagine.

But that is the buried truth of history.

Some extreme women would even instruct their men not to return alive, otherwise, they’d commit suicide in shame.

Put yourself in their shoes, and you can feel the horror.

The most typical example.

After the war began, a lieutenant received orders but didn’t want to go to the front lines, having just married, which is human nature, but his wife, upon seeing this. To ensure her husband had no worries and no attachments when invading other countries, she left a farewell letter and then slit her throat committing suicide, along with a suicide note.

"I’m glad to leave this world, so you don’t have to worry about me, please serve the country well, also Manchuria is cold, don’t catch a cold, I wish you a triumphant return."

This farewell letter is definitely short, but after reading it, it almost made Jiang Chen become an angry youth.

Not all soldiers want to fight.

Just like this lieutenant; what he longed for was merely a life of family reunion, it was his wife who forcibly altered his mindset.

War itself is just for returning home, but the result now backfired; apart from dying on the invading battlefield, his life has lost its meaning.

Such examples are countless.

The innocence of civilians has some truth, but definitely not representing that era.

At that time, civilians in this country were not harmless little white rabbits, they clearly knew what their country was doing, with massive enthusiasm participated in, clearly knowing what their actions meant, and are still hoping to achieve their wishes.

Brainwashing.

Jiang Chen cannot accept this excuse.

Just like the Taoist nun sister, and the old man on that mountain.

"Here, I won’t let anyone hurt you."

Tanki Liuli responded, quite firmly.

Clearly heartwarming words, but no matter how Jiang Chen couldn’t feel happy.

What does it mean here?

Does it mean in other regions, she would slack off?

Jiang Chen didn’t conduct any criticism or education.

Tanki Liuli turned back to look outside the window.

For the first time such "deep exchange," Jiang Chen was already satisfied, see, people need to interact, need more experiences to truly open up.

Jiang Chen knew when to stop, didn’t babble further, Tanki Liuli looks at the scenery, he looks at the person.

Train.

This scene quickly conjured a word in Jiang Chen’s mind, uncontrollably.

Molester.

There’s nothing to hide.

As a normal adult male, Jiang Chen must have seen certain movies.

Certainly.

No need for him to painstakingly search for them.

Young Master Luo often shared what he deemed "classics" with the whole dormitory, claiming they cultivated sentiment, appreciated art.

Apart from historical origins, the greatest recognition the Chinese have of Dongying is indeed a certain industry.

Truly.

Once urging the men to the battlefield were Dongying women, now making outstanding contributions to Dongying’s economy are still women.

The appreciation of art declared by Young Master Luo wasn’t nonsense, because in those films, whenever a white-collar or teacher rides a train to work, it’s definitely full of passion along the way, yet reality is completely contrary.

Let alone the ubiquitous molesters in films, Jiang Chen just saw if a female fell asleep and accidentally rested her head on a male’s shoulder, if it were a Shenzhou man, he definitely wouldn’t disturb, allowing the female a good sleep, but here, once the female’s head dropped, that man promptly and rebelliously shook his shoulder, not showing any gentlemanly demeanor.

The higher the artistic element, the less likely it occurs in reality.

Once immersed, you realize this place and the movie are like two separate worlds.

Jiang Chen moved around, wanting to find some familiar scene, but unfortunately, truly the movies are all lies.

"The train will soon arrive at Tokyo Station, passengers preparing to disembark should get ready."

Of course, Jiang Chen couldn’t understand Dongying, just a few sentences, but he recognized the word Tokyo.

The train began to descend.

We have reached the station.
