"Do you know what day it is today?”Xiao Haiyi asked.
"Report, today is July 7th!”Jiang Xiaoyu replied.
"Not bad! Today was July 7th! Comrades, do you know what happened on July 7th 81 years ago?”
"Report! The Lion Bridge Incident broke out!" A hoarse voice shouted," The Japanese are stirring up trouble at Lion Bridge. The war between China and Japan has erupted! During the war, 35 million of our people died. This included eight million soldiers and ten million children.”Lu Yan replied.
He was originally from Beijing, so he had a deep memory of that iconic event!
The hoarse voice echoed in the deep pit, like a heavy hammer that hammered into the depths of everyone's hearts.
"Yes, I am! When the war between China and Japan broke out, we lost eight million soldiers and 27 million civilians in eight years. We won that war at the cost of 10,000 deaths every day! Because we are lagging behind, we are losing on the battlefield. Because of the imbalance in the military strength of the two countries, the enemy can do those things that are hated by the people and gods without fear of retaliation!
This was the price to pay for falling behind!”
Xiao Haiyi finished explaining the massacre 81 years ago in one breath. He took a deep breath and looked at the deep pit behind the team.
Xiao Haiyi's passionate explanation made the members of the beast battalion stand straight. Their eyes were sparkling, and their faces were filled with killing intent.
"Comrades! Look in front of you! Look at the deep pit in front of you! This was one of the massacres that the Japanese army had committed during the Great Massacre of Jinling-a mass grave! There were a total of 28,730 corpses buried in and around this mass grave! As long as they were discovered by the pirates, they would all die! Back then, the pirates killed 10,000, 20,000, or even more people in one operation! This kind of atrocity was despised by the people of the world!”
Yang Lang raised his head, tears streaming down his face.
In the war between China and Japan, Bashu contributed 3 million soldiers and labor service to the war, and the money and food they paid were also the first in the country. The 400,000 Sichuan troops were only a small part of the contribution of the Sichuan people in this national war. In addition, the contribution of Bashu to the war against the Japanese was also the largest in the country. Due to the heavy losses of soldiers in the war against Japan, the recruitment of soldiers from all over the country increased.
In the 8 years of the war against the Japanese, the total number of conscripts in the country was more than 14 million, and the number of conscripts in Bashu was 3.2 million, accounting for more than 1/5. Not only were there a large number of strong men in Bashu, but they were also brave in battle, so there was a saying that "no army without rivers". However, the people of Sichuan also suffered from the capture of able-bodied men.
In order to complete the construction of the military airport for the anti-Japanese war, the total number of migrant workers in Sichuan was more than 3 million. Grain was one of the main material conditions for the war against the Japanese pirates. The total amount of grain supplied by Bashu was more than 80 million dan. The grain supplied by Bashu for the war against the Japanese pirates accounted for one-third of the total amount of grain collected in the country. In addition to all kinds of taxes and contributions, the largest portion was also borne by the people of Ba Shu.
My hometown in my previous life, you've sacrificed too much for this nation!
"If we fall behind, we'll be beaten up! Comrades, think about the last time we fought with the international pirate organization. You should understand that our coastal defense line is not strong enough! The lives and property of the people were still in danger! If war broke out again tomorrow, the invaders would point their daggers at Jinling again! Pointing at Hu Hai! He even pointed to Beijing! What should we do? Would we still allow the massacre in Jinling to be rewritten?”
"Report! Swear to protect the territorial waters of the motherland! We will never let the invaders enter our territory!"
Xiao Haiyi nodded and continued,""Everyone! Turn around!"
"Swoosh!" The team members quickly turned around and stood facing the flag.
"Comrades, what you said was very good! I thank you on behalf of my country and my people! Now, I have something to congratulate you on. From today onwards, you are an independent special forces unit! You will have your own name and logo! You are the first batch of twenty warriors to join this unit!”
Xiao Haiyi's loud voice echoed in the air,""Your name is Seawolf! You are the blades of the 1st Brigade of the South China Sea Fleet of the Chinese Navy, the Sea Wolf Commandos!”
The morning sun pierced through the gray sky, shining through the rain cloth erected on the mass grave, shining brightly on the national flag behind Xiao Haiyi.
Every member of the Seawolves team had tears on their faces, turning into crystal bullets under the sunlight.
Xiao Haiyi and Long Baichuan approached the group. Xiao Haiyi took the armband from Long Baichuan. A picture was drawn on the armband, and it depicted a wolf with its bloody mouth wide open, roaring as it stepped on the waves on the stormy sea. Xiao Haiyi pinned the brand new Seawolf armband on the right arm of each member.
"Every special forces team has their own team flag. Your team flag is very special!”Xiao Haiyi moved his body to the side, revealing a flag behind him. The flag was mainly a navy flag, and the lower right corner of the flag was a picture of a flaming phoenix!
"You guys are the navy's first special forces! You guys are destined to go into the ocean! The people's navy will not only be in the white water, but also in the yellow water. We will definitely move towards the deep blue! 600 years ago, the Raging Flame Phoenix Flag and the Sun and Moon as Light Flag had followed the great navigator Zheng Sanbao across the South China Sea, through the Maraka Strait, and sailed on the Indian Ocean all the way to the Red Sea coast and the east coast of the Black Continent! That was the glory of our navy!”Xiao Haiyi took a deep breath and said,
"Where is this place?" Xiao Haiyi asked.
"Jinling!" Yang Lang replied.
"This is Jinling, the place where Ming Taizu established his country! The Ming Dynasty was the first in history to unify China from south to north. Once there is a Ming Dynasty, China is the only country. The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies for the country. If there was a Ming Dynasty, there would be no marriage between the Han and Tang Dynasties, and there would be no annual tribute between the two Song Dynasties!。Even if the emperor is captured by the enemy, we will establish a new one and continue fighting.
However, our country is not strong enough now. We can't beat the world with a big stick like the United States and Mao Xiong. In order to maintain a peaceful development environment, we sometimes have to compromise.
You might be misunderstood. If you are captured, you might not be recognized by the country! Sometimes, the country even has to abandon you!
It's easy to die generously, but it's hard to bear humiliation! Are you willing to shoulder this responsibility?”
"Loyal to the motherland, loyal to the people!"
"Now, everyone swear with me under the national flag, the military flag, and the team flag!”
"I volunteer to join the Chinese Navy's Seawolf Commando! I am willing to dedicate my sweat and youth to the motherland!”Xiao Haiyi read aloud," I will use the dagger in my hand to destroy all enemies that hinder the national security…"
" For the people's stable lives, I will protect the territorial waters of our country at all costs..." The team members followed Xiao Haiyi and read aloud," I am willing to sacrifice my blood and even my life in exchange for the safety of our country and the happiness of our people..."
" I'm willing to remain silent underwater forever and be a loyal and lonely watchman forever. There are only two possibilities for me to see the moonlight. One is to return to the army after completing the mission, and the other is for my corpse to slowly surface…"
Long Baichuan and Wu Gang stood behind the team and raised their right hands as well. They followed the energetic members of the Sea Wolves and swore loudly.
"The territorial waters of the motherland cannot be invaded! The territory of the motherland cannot be invaded! The people of the motherland must not be invaded! To serve the Celestial Empire! To serve the people of China!"
The team members stared at the flag and roared with their hearts and mouths.
Xiao Haiyi didn't put down his right hand after the oath. Instead, he turned around and looked at Yang Lang, pausing for a long time.
Long Baichuan and Wu Gang were a little puzzled. What was wrong with the brigade commander? He had already finished his oath, so why didn't he ask everyone to stop?
"I promise my country!" Suddenly, Yang Lang spoke.
Long Baichuan was stunned. Why hadn't he finished speaking? He had already memorized the oath. It should have ended.
"I promise my country!" The members of the Seawolves shouted loudly.
"I will do my best to govern Nanyang and protect the lives and property of the overseas Chinese! I will resist the enemy outside the country and never let history repeat itself!”
"I will never let history repeat itself!"
