Other than the sentries, almost all of the 2,000 people were gathered in the open space of the military camp, chatting non-stop. Looking at so many people, Zhou Heng thought of the scene when he was still in primary school and the school field was playing movies.
The sky was completely dark, and the lights in the military camp were dim. There was no other choice. There was no power station within a radius of 100 kilometers. The nearest power station was in Chun City, the capital of Dian Province. In this era, China was far more backward than modern people could imagine. Only a few cities could have such a brilliant scene. In small cities and villages, those who had kerosene lamps were already rich.
Zhou Heng could only exchange for a low-power diesel generator. However, no one in the military camp knew how to use it. Therefore, he had to go on stage himself and install a few light bulbs according to the instructions. As a light source, the military camp did not need firewood. At the same time, it was used as a power source for the movie today.
"Quiet, quiet. Look at you. You have no discipline at all. Do you still want to watch a movie? If you do, then be quiet.”Zhou Heng took out a loudspeaker and shouted loudly from the high platform.
The soldiers on the empty ground immediately quieted down. Zhou Heng, the regiment commander, already had some prestige in the hearts of the soldiers. They did not dare to disobey his words.
He nodded in satisfaction. These guys were quite obedient. He continued," Movies are people acting, just like how you usually watch a big show. So no matter what happens later, don't rush up to the stage and destroy the curtain. Whoever comes up will be grounded for three days.”
Zhou Heng had chosen the 1972 movie, Jingwu Gate, which was starred by the proud Chinese Bruce Lee. It should be known that wars between countries were not just about guns, but also about soft power, including words, comics, movies, and so on. When Zhou Heng was playing the game, he had stored many old movies, novels, and songs. Now, he could exchange them for use.
However, the movie exchange was not cheap. Jing Wu Sect had spent 1,000 silver dollars worth of exchange points, which could buy almost 100 M1903 rifles. However, in order to cleanse the spirit of these defeated soldiers, literary works like movies were indispensable, and they would be indispensable in the future.
Light and shadow shone on the screen, and the movie officially began. When they saw the real person appear on the screen, the soldiers below exclaimed. Everyone wanted to know how the person was recorded in that small machine.
The film from the 1970s seemed a little rough to Zhou Heng, but to these soldiers who had never seen a movie before, it was very magical. Everyone was quickly attracted by the story in the movie.
The hero Huo Yuanjia defeated the hairy bear Hercules and defeated the Wei Nation's master. He was envied by the Wei Nation and was poisoned to death in Shanghai. His fifth disciple, Chen Zhen, returned to the country to worship his master and embark on a journey of revenge.
When Chen Zhen, played by Bruce Lee, kicked the sign of the sick man of East Asia sent by the karate club, the soldiers burst into cheers and cheered loudly. When they saw the sign at the entrance of the park that said Chinese and dogs were not allowed, everyone cursed again.
When Chen Zhen found out the truth and went to the karate gym alone, everyone was very worried. However, when they saw him defeat all the experts alone, their shouts almost broke through the clouds. However, Chen Zhen was immediately shot to death by the foreign police. Some of the soldiers cried and some were angry. Even the military police who maintained order beside him had bulging veins. It seemed that they were extremely angry.
"Damned westerners, dogs, sob sob, Hero Chen Zhen died too unjustly. Sooner or later, we will make these westerners pay with their blood.”
"Sigh, no matter how good your kung fu is, you're still afraid of a foreign gun. Back then, the boxing group was defeated by a foreign gun.”
"Hmph, I think the traitors inside are even more despicable. They'll die a horrible death for helping the tiger.”
Their emotions were roused. Many of the defeated soldiers who usually only wanted to eat and wait for death became excited, as if they felt that if they did not do something, they would let down the dead hero.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Zhou Heng walked to the front of the curtain, held his megaphone, and said," Everyone's discussion is right. No matter how powerful Chen Zhen is, he's only one person. He can defeat dozens of Wei Nation warriors, but he can defeat hundreds or millions of them. You have to know how many Japanese soldiers there are now. Millions of them are carrying guns and running, and there are also millions of soldiers with planes and tanks.”
Everyone fell silent. How could they not know that the Japanese were very strong? They had been fighting for so many years and had been losing time and time again. Just thinking about the millions of strong Japanese made them feel despair.
"Then how can we defeat so many powerful Japanese?”
"Yes, Captain, we all know that you are a powerful person. Tell us how to defeat the Japanese.”
"Guild Leader definitely knows how to defeat the Japanese. Please tell us.”
More than 2,000 people were asking how to defeat the Japanese, and this was exactly what Zhou Heng wanted. He did not say anything, but asked," Everyone, why are the Japanese so strong, and why do we always lose?”
"Damn it, the Japanese have planes and cannons. We were defending the position with a regiment. They bombarded us for a day and more than half of us died.”
"Not only the planes and cannons, but they are also very good at using their bayonet. Three people in a group, seven or eight of us can't get close at all.”
"They weren't afraid of death. Our company commander caught a wounded Japanese soldier, but he pulled a grenade and died together with our company commander.”
When it came to the strength of the Japanese, there were all sorts of things. Everyone told him what they had seen, so Zhou Heng let them say whatever they wanted. Only when they were almost done did Zhou Heng speak.
"I heard from everyone that the Japanese have a few advantages. They have sharp guns, strong bodies, strict discipline, and are not afraid of death. However, you've neglected one thing.
Many people did not understand the use of studying and fighting. If I tell everyone that it's very useful, they'll know how guns and cannons work after they've studied. They'll be able to understand orders, understand discipline regulations, and can count. Some people probably couldn't even count how many Japanese there were when they saw them, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed in embarrassment. They really couldn't count how many of them there were. There was no helping it. They had never gone to school. It was already impressive if they could count to ten.
"Next, I'll talk about how to defeat the Japanese. The guns are sharp. I'll give you better guns and stronger bodies. I'll give you better supplies and make you stronger.
But I can't teach you discipline and literacy. I can only punish you if you make mistakes. But if you break the rules on the battlefield, such as running away without permission, you might kill a class or even a company of comrades.
No, so I hope that everyone can abide by military discipline and be literate. If you can do it, then I will definitely command you to defeat the Japanese and those foreigners who bully us. Can you do it?”Zhou Heng shouted at the top of his lungs.
"I can do it! He could do it! I can do it!" Zhou Heng was answered by a unified shout. Zhou Heng felt very comfortable listening to it. The morale of the army had finally been mobilized by him. Their souls were returning to their bodies.
