Chapter 119: A Long Story
"Yes. The unbelieving Zen master secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I am a monk, and I am not afraid of what you do." β
"I came here, I thought I could meet an old ......" the other party smiled: "It seems that I ran for nothing..."
"We are a temple here, and there is really no one else except monks and Taoist priests. β
"I believe you, you're not lying. The other party's expression suddenly became dark: "No one has ever been able to deceive me..."
The unbelieving Zen master was frightened and asked, "Do you know how to read minds?"
"I don't know what it means to read minds, but I ......," the man said, his eyes dazed and his expression a little strange: "I seem to be ...... I have been in charge of interrogating prisoners, many, many prisoners, they are all bad elements, they want to destroy our national construction, I want to find out what they have done......"
"And then?"
And then ...... I forgot about it. The man shook his head vigorously, as if trying to sober himself up: "I won't tell you, I'm going back...... I have a headache. β
The man turned around and walked towards the place he came from, and at this time, three people came up to him.
I don't believe that the Zen master didn't wait for the poison king, but waited for Cang Hao, and it happened that Cang Hao took Serchenko and Huang Binhuan back to Dolin Temple.
Before he could say hello to the unbelieving Zen master, Cang Hao happened to see this person, and he was stunned.
Then, Cang Hao stood there stupidly, looking at the man, his face a little pale.
This person sensed Cang Hao's gaze, glanced at Cang Hao casually, and continued to walk forward, ignoring nothing.
Cang Hao's gaze followed him until his figure disappeared at the end of the alley, and he could no longer be seen, and then he gasped: "Hell...... What the hell am I?"
Serchenko noticed that Cang Hao's expression was not quite right, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I ...... Didn't ...... anything" Cang Hao shook his head vigorously, just like the person just now, trying to clear his mind: "I saw a person I shouldn't have seen..."
Huang Binhuan pointed to the distance: "Do you know that person?"
"It's Colonel Song Shuang. Cang Hao said word by word: "That's right, it's him, Colonel Song Shuang......"
Huang Binhuan didn't know at all: "Who is Colonel Song Shuang?"
"I'll tell ......you again when I turn around" Cang Hao took out his mobile phone and wanted to call, his hand trembled a little: "I have to tell Master SΓΉ... Colonel Song Shuang has returned...... Hell, isn't he dead..."
I don't believe that the Zen master came over and said hello to Cang Hao: "That person looked so strange just now..."
Cang Hao roared: "Shut up..."
Cang Hao rarely got angry, and the unbelieving Zen master was startled and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Cang Hao just wanted to get in touch with Pang Jindong as much as possible, but the phone was dialed several times, and Pang Jindong's side was always turned off, and he didn't know what he was busy with.
"Damn..."Cang Hao was furious, and almost broke his phone.
Serchenko advised: "I think you should calm down first. β
"yes, yes. Huang Binhuan nodded vigorously: "We don't know what's going on." β
"What's going on?" Cang Hao smiled coldly: "Colonel Song Shuang is back, that murderous demon of the Khmer Rouge ......"
Serchenko was shocked when he heard this: "He is a Khmer Rouge?"
Huang Binhuan didn't understand: "What is the Khmer Rouge?"
Serchenko looked young, actually a little old, had gone through a lot of specific historical periods, so he knew something: "It was a criminal organization. β
Huang Binhuan looked at Cang Hao and asked very seriously, "Do you know this Colonel Song Shuang?"
"I know him, but he doesn't know me, he is the most powerful opponent of my master Pang Jindong in his life......" Cang Hao's expression changed: "When I first became a mercenary, I saw his photos, and I was so impressed. β
Huang Binhuan shook his head helplessly: "But I don't know what's going on with the Khmer Rouge." β
"Follow me. Cang Hao looked around, made sure that there was no one, and strode back to his room.
He didn't come back for a few days, and there was dust everywhere in the wing, Cang Hao didn't care, he sat directly on the sofa, took out a cigarette and smoked it.
Huang Binhuan also came in with Serchenko, and asked very carefully: "Can you talk about it now?"
Cang Hao spat out a smoke ring: "This is a somewhat distant story, it happened in Cambodia ......"
Huang Binhuan was a little disdainful: "That country with big nails?"
"That's right, it's that small country, but what happened there is a warning to the whole of mankind......" Cang Hao took a puff of cigarette and continued: "In the past, I knew almost no about the history of Southeast Asia, and in 1998, when I was still a half-grown child, I accidentally read a news item from the newspaper that Pol Pot died. So I got a little interest, found some related things to read, and after becoming a mercenary, under the teaching of Master Pang Jindong, I had a deeper understanding...... So I know very well what kind of demon Colonel Song Shuang is..."
Huang Binhuan was still a little disdainful: "What's the matter, is it more evil than the KGB remnants and the Cheka?"
Cang Hao didn't speak, and glanced at Serchenko, who nodded: "Of course." β
Huang Binhuan was a little surprised: "You're not kidding, are you?"
"You know what's going on with the KGB, they've put countless people in the gulag, probably simply because they complained a few times, or because the powerful didn't like him. The Gulag is a general term for a series of labor camps, mostly in remote cold and barren places, such as Korema, or Oymyakon......" After a pause, Serchenko continued: "Many people died in the gulag, but many survived, like Rezenov's family. Therefore, compared to the Khmer Rouge, the KGB was still more merciful. β
Huang Binhuan was even more surprised: "The Khmer Rouge killed all the people?"
"I said, this is a story from a long time ago, so let's start at the beginning......" Cang Hao took two more puffs of cigarette before continuing: "Cambodia is a very small country, sandwiched between many countries in the Indochina Peninsula, it is so inconspicuous. But the Khmer people, the ancestors of the Cambodians, created a glorious civilization, and if you have the opportunity to visit Angkor Wat, you will definitely be attracted by the magnificence there, but this is a digression...... Although it is a small country, disaster is never far away, and it is a land of great suffering. First French colonial rule, then Japanese invasion, finally gaining independence, coup d'Γ©tat by the country's warlords, and then scuffles between different political parties, the country was in constant turmoil until the turn of the new century. β
Cang Hao glanced at Serchenko again, and Serchenko naturally took over the topic and continued: "The city keeps changing the banner of the king, one ruler is gone, another ruler is coming, and in the midst of this chaos, an organization called the Khmer Rouge has risen, and its leader is Pol Pot. The Khmer Rouge is what outsiders call them, and they call themselves 'Ankha', which means 'organization' in Cambodian. In the seventies of the twentieth century, Pol Pot led the Khmer Rouge to seize state power, and at this time, the real suffering of the Cambodian people began. β
Huang Binhuan hurriedly asked, "What did they do?"
This question was answered by Cang Hao: "Massacre of his own people..."
Huang Binhuan asked again: "How?"
"First, they expropriated all citizens of their property, and made it completely public, so that even a pair of shoes belonged to the state, and then they drove all the city dwellers to the countryside to work, and in the process of migration, many people died. When they arrived in the countryside, they did not have enough food and were abused by the Khmer Rouge, and more people died. What's more, every grain of rice belongs to the state, and you are not allowed to have anything yourself, otherwise you will be shot. The amount of clothing and food that each person consumes each year is already planned, and if you don't have enough to eat, you have to go hungry, and if you don't have enough clothes to wear, you will be naked. Although the matter had nothing to do with him, Cang Hao still hated it: "As for everything that is produced, it belongs to the Khmer Rouge..."
Huang Binhuan was stunned: "What's the difference between this and a slave?"
"Of course there is a difference. Cang Hao took a hard puff of his cigarette and said, "Slave owners regard slaves as property, and generally speaking, they will not kill them at will, just like few people throw money on the street. But the Khmer Rouge was different, they were very capricious in killing, because if you say the wrong thing or do something wrong, you can be shot. You ate an extra bowl of rice, and hesitated when you obeyed the order, which is also a dead end. Even if you're just sick, they'll kill you because you're useless. β
Serchenko told Huang Binhuan: "Also, the Khmer Rouge showed no mercy to anyone or anything that might pose a threat, and did not need any evidence, let alone a trial. The KGB established the Gulag system to maintain its rule, and the Khmer Rouge did the same, and with much more brutal means. The KGB basically kills people by shooting or poisoning, and the Khmer Rouge is diverse, such as digging out people's hearts and livers, or drilling people's brains to take **...... In the end, they kill people for almost no reason, just for the sake of killing, which is extreme madness. β
Huang Binhuan was shocked: "In my mercenary career, I have seen many murderous demons, such as some warlords in Africa, but such as the Khmer Rouge...... I don't think there's ever been..."
Serchenko said word by word: "During those years in the Federal Security Service, I had access to a lot of classified files, and I once analyzed that their fundamental goal may be to exterminate all those they think are not fit for survival, leaving only those who are fit for survival to build their ideal society..."
Huang Binhuan asked indignantly: "Who is qualified to decide who is suitable for survival and who is not suitable for survival?
Of course they don't have that qualification, and I don't think God will directly condemn certain people as unfit to live in this world, but the Khmer Rouge thinks they have that qualification. Recalling the materials he had seen, Serchenko was equally indignant: "I will tell you another figure to deepen your understanding of this aspect, Pol Pot has been in power for about five years, directly and indirectly causing the deaths of about 3 million Cambodians, which is quite terrible for a country with a population of only more than 10 million." Therefore, the rule of the Khmer Rouge has been called the most terrible man-made disaster of the twentieth century, and it is the most severe crime that a state has committed against its own people. β
Huang Binhuan asked: "How did he fall?"
Serchenko said sarcastically: "Later, for some reason, YN launched a war against the Khmer Rouge. As a result, the Khmer Rouge was defeated for thousands of miles, and they basically lost without much resistance, because the army was also fed up with the Khmer Rouge. Even the people of their own country regard the YN army as liberators and welcome ...... So, Pol Pot led the remnants of the defeated army and hid in the jungle to fight guerrillas. Later, Huaxia launched a punishment against YN, but YN was unable to take care of the whole thing, and finally withdrew its troops from Cambodia, and Cambodia established a new coalition government. β
Cang Hao told Huang Binhuan very seriously: "For us mercenaries, the most important thing is brotherhood, but Pol Pot's madness has surpassed the imagination of normal people. Leading a group of defeated soldiers to hide in the jungle for a precarious day, he still does not forget to carry out a purge and eliminate all those he deems suspicious. At one point, he even killed an old comrade-in-arms who had been following him for many years, and drove the body back and forth in the middle of the road. This scene stimulated many Khmer Rouge fighters to come out of the jungle and surrender. β
Huang Binhuan felt that this was simply the sky with eyes: "What about later?"
Cang Hao shrugged his shoulders: "Later, Pol Pot's actions were extremely angry internally, and some generals staged a coup d'Γ©tat to put him under house arrest. In 1998, he fell ill and died under house arrest, and after his death, the Khmer Rouge surrendered, and the country finally welcomed peaceful development. β
Huang Binhuan still had a question that he didn't understand: "What does this have to do with Colonel Song Shuang?"
"Colonel Song Shuang was a close confidant of Pol Pot, and for many years he conscientiously helped Pol Pot kill people, and even after Pol Pot's death, he did not follow the Khmer Rouge to surrender, but continued to fight with the remnants of his sins. After a pause, Cang Hao continued: "The Khmer Rouge under the leadership of Colonel Song Shuang, as they themselves call Ankha internally, has completely evolved into a terrorist organization, causing murder and destruction everywhere. In order to obtain war funds, they did not hesitate to manufacture and sell drugs, so they got involved with my master. β
Huang Binhuan said as a matter of course: "Your master must have won..."
