In the past few days, Zhao Gang had been thinking about whether he was wrong. However, in the end, Zhao Gang believed that he was not wrong.
The reason why he gave up his pen and joined the army was to create a peaceful and prosperous world where everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment. This was his ideal.
Therefore, he had always been strict with himself and asked himself to do that.
He wouldn't be merciful to the Japanese. It wasn't like his hands weren't stained with the blood of the Japanese. However, he felt that he should not do that to the captives and civilians.
Previously, Li Yun Tian had also said that Zhao Gang was welcome to debate with him at any time. Today, he had come.
Li Yun Tian didn't hate Zhao Gang. On the contrary, he respected him very much. Therefore, he was very polite to Zhao Gang.
"Alright." " Alright," Li Yun Tian said indifferently and waited for Zhao Gang to speak.
Li Yunlong and Wei Dayong stared at the two of them, not knowing what to say.
" I've thought about it carefully these few days," Zhao Gang said." I still think that what Commander Li did that day was wrong.
We are soldiers. We can kill the devils to protect our country. However, I believe that we should be a benevolent army, not like the Japanese who are cruel, violent, and only know how to kill.
Regiment Commander Li, every normal person has both human nature and bestial nature, which can also be called good and evil. If he was not good at adjusting himself and strengthening his self-cultivation at any time, then the bestial and evil things would rise at any time!
So I think we should be strict with ourselves. He should restrain his bestial nature. Otherwise, in the end, he would only become as cruel, tyrannical, and inhumane as the Japanese!”
Zhao Gang's tone was very calm, but it was filled with great wisdom.
Wei Da Yong and Li Yun Long didn't quite understand what he was saying, but they felt that it made sense and sounded profound.
Li Yun Tian didn't find anything wrong with Zhao Gang's words. He even agreed with Zhao Gang's point of view.
"Committee Member Zhao, you're right. You're full of wisdom. However…if this was a peaceful era, perhaps I would agree. But now, please forgive me for not agreeing!”
Li Yun Tian's expression was also extremely serious. His eyes were fixed on Zhao Gang's eyes as he said,"Kindness doesn't lead to soldiers, and kindness doesn't lead to officials. This has been the truth since ancient times, and it's also the truth that's closest to reality.
An army of benevolence and righteousness against an army of wolves and tigers, even if they had the same weapons and equipment, who did you think had a higher chance of winning? I think it's the latter!
Mercy to the enemy is cruelty. In my opinion, whether they are Japanese soldiers or civilians, they are all enemies. In your opinion, do you think the Japanese civilians are innocent?”
Regarding Li Yun Tian's question, Zhao Gang thought about it and nodded,""I think they are innocent."
"You're wrong. They're not innocent.”Li Yun Tian directly overthrew Zhao Gang's point of view and continued,"Who do you think is supporting the Japanese army? Was it the government of Country R?
You're wrong. It's their civilians who support the hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers in battle! Their civilians had contributed money, resources, and all other strategic resources in this war.
So in my opinion, they also participated in this war, so they can also be considered invaders! It was just that their methods of invasion were different.
Although direct murder and indirect murder sounded different, the essence was murder!
The invasion of the Japanese was carried out with the help of the tens of millions of civilians in their country. Under such circumstances, do you still think they are innocent?”
At this moment, Li Yun Tian's words were fierce and each word was full of brilliance.
Facing Li Yun Tian's question, Zhao Gang was stunned because he had never thought about these questions.
Now that Li Yun Tian asked this question, Zhao Gang thought about it and felt that Li Yun Tian was right.
Many Japanese civilians were directly supporting this war. Even if the others didn't directly support it, they were indirectly supporting it.
In this way, every Japanese soldier's hands were stained with blood, and every citizen of Country R also had a relationship.
Li Yun Tian's reasoning wasn't twisted. It was a truth that Zhao Gang couldn't refute.
Zhao Gang raised his head and looked into Li Yun Tian's eyes.""Regiment Commander Li, you're right. They might not be innocent, but that's not a reason for you to kill them. What I'm saying is that we should be strict with ourselves. If others did something wrong, should we do the same?”
"Zhao Zheng, the difference between right and wrong is actually very vague. It's not that easy to distinguish.”
Li Yun Tian didn't avoid Zhao Gang's gaze. He looked straight at Zhao Gang and said,"Your theory, your ideal world, these are all fine. I can't say that you're wrong. I can only say that you're not suitable.”
