Chapter 474: The Last Resistor (Part I)
"Commander, this is the news of the birth of Lord Wang's daughter. Wang Lili, the daughter of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, has now arrived in Taiwan, and in a few days, Wang will hold a full moon wine for her daughter in her private name and invite all the adults who stay in Taipei to participate. However, it's a pity that the commander you are in the East Borneo Military Region and can't go to participate. ”
Zhu Yuan's secretary was a pity, because in his opinion, if Zhu Yuan was not in the East Borneo Military Region, then he must be one of the people invited. Because Zhu Yuan is the commander of the East Borneo Military Region and one of the most senior officers, if he is not qualified, then who is qualified. Now they are all high-ranking officers, and they are also old people when Wang Guorui established the army, so they can naturally be qualified to participate. However, this time, because I was out of town, it was naturally impossible to go back. Because Wang Guorui has not held a banquet for a few days, strictly speaking, after Wang Guorui's daughter Wang Lili was born, she came to Taiwan a month, and it was more than a month. However, because I have a habit of making full moon wine, I have to start preparing even if it is postponed for a few days. However, due to time constraints, only high-ranking officials from Taiwan who stayed in Taipei could be invited to participate, and people from other places even just officials from Tainan had no chance, after all, there was too late.
Zhu Yuan thought for a while and said, "Although I can't participate, people can't go, and the gifts should be delivered." ”
"Gifts? Commander, what kind of gift do you Song? The secretary asked.
"Quite simply, according to our monitoring recently, how are the natives in the mountains doing?" Zhu Yuan asked.
The secretary immediately said: "It's not good, their days are also Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as a year." However, Commander, are you going to do so? ”
In the mountains of East Borneo, a group of indigenous people were sitting in a meeting, and it was clear that the current situation was still very bad.
"Chief. What should we do next? Someone asked.
That leader is Simba, since he came from Taiwan to attack, he also ran to East Borneo to fight guerrillas, but now life is getting worse and worse, and they don't know what to do. So, now these indigenous people are meeting here. And they look at these situations and don't know what to do.
"How many more do we have?" Simba asked.
Simba's subordinate immediately said: "We still have more than 300 people in total, and we originally had more than 4,000 people, but now we are dead and fleeing, and we don't have many of them." However, the people who are still with us are our cronies and people who are willing to give everything for the cause of our national liberation. So. They stayed and fought with us against the aggression of the Chinese. ”
And Simba couldn't help but close his eyes after hearing this. Since he came to East Borneo, he naturally began to propagate the so-called national liberation, and then drove out the Chinese and any foreigners. And this idea has won the support of some people, and many people have joined them because of Taiwan's harsh treatment. However, Taiwan has also changed its plans, and instead of rashly entering the tropical rainforest to clear them, it has gradually "cleared the wilderness". Wipe out all the indigenous people in the vicinity. As a result, they will gradually lose their material support, and the resources of the soldiers will gradually deplete day by day.
Wherever guerrilla is fought. It is nothing more than relying on the people. Only by relying on the people to fight guerrilla warfare can they obtain a steady stream of material support, and they can also absorb the people to join them and proudly expand the army. But now the people around them have also been arrested and moved to other places, even very far away.
And their days are getting harder and harder. Supplies are getting scarcer, and even people are starting to starve to death. And at this time, many of them also began to surrender. When the Taiwanese army pledged not to kill them if they surrendered, some people immediately began to come out to surrender, and even brought their subordinates out to surrender. Moreover, Taiwan's armed forces have also adopted the method of being a thousand gold and bones. Let them shout in turn, and then publicize what not to resist, and then let those natives see that the Taiwanese army did not kill those who surrendered, and they are still served with good food and drink.
This has made many indigenous people's will to resist much worse, after all, many of them have not gone through much brainwashing and have not gone through much mature learning. Although some of them have the idea of so-called national independence, this group of people is a minority after all. However, many of them are illiterate, they are natives who do not know how to write, and they are not able to supplement their knowledge through learning. Even, they do not have a long-term historical and cultural accumulation, and they do not have enough cultural accumulation, that is, they naturally do not have a perfect national character. So they can't have a strong enough cohesion to run away when they encounter danger. And those who can persist are all affected by Simba, and not all of them are affected. Therefore, now many of them have chosen to surrender under the attraction of the Taiwanese army's delicious food and drink, big fish and meat.
"There are only three hundred left? We still had thousands of people before, but none of them could withstand the attraction of the Chinese, and then chose to turn their backs on their own people? If they can stay and resist, then we will win one day. However, now they have betrayed their own nation for some interests, this is really damned! Simba said angrily.
And when his subordinates saw this, they immediately said, "Chief, you better eat something!" ”
Simba saw that this so-called meal of his own was actually just some fruit from the rainforest, and it was not too high-end. However, what surprised Simba was that these fruits were actually a lot less, which made Simba puzzled.
"Didn't there be a dozen more yesterday?" Simba asked.
The subordinate immediately said: "Chief, these fruits were collected by us from seven or eight kilometers away, and we have eaten all the fruits nearby." Also, the beasts in the neighborhood knew that it was a dangerous place, so they all avoided our camp, so I didn't have any prey to hunt. We'll have to move next, or we'll probably not have enough prey. ”
When Simba heard this, he was immediately helpless, because their food was getting less and less, and it was not enough for everyone to eat. If this continues, then it is impossible for them to have enough food to replenish their physical strength and continue to fight. But now they have indeed reached the limit, so they can't hold it anymore. And the Taiwanese army is constantly blockading them, hoping that they can be starved to death and trapped to death, and then in the end they can only be wiped out in a steady stream.
"Chief, why don't we go deeper into the forest? So I don't believe that the Chinese army will be able to attack deeper places. As long as we are angry deeper into the rainforest, it is unlikely that the Chinese will continue to attack us, because they do not have the conditions. We are more familiar with the tropical rainforest, and these outsiders, those who have lived in civilized societies for a long time, are definitely not our opponents in terms of survivability. These Chinese, because of civilization, they can endure hardship without us. The subordinate said.
But Simba smiled wryly and said, "Aren't we deep enough now? We can't go any deeper, because if we do, we're useless. ”
"Why?" The subordinate immediately asked.
Simba immediately pointed at the men, and then said, "Most of us here are men, and there are only a dozen women. And if we are on the periphery, we may be strong enough for women to give us offspring. And in such a dangerous environment, it is very possible for babies to die. And if the baby dies, then there is nothing we can do. Even if we are sick, we cannot be cured, and if we go deeper, we will surely perish easily. And the reason why we are still able to survive here is because although this kind of society is remote, it is not far from civilized society. ”
"But once we continue to go deeper, then we will completely leave human civilization. When the time comes, our generation will pass away, so who will inherit our business? We only have more than a dozen women here, and even if we are able to give birth again, then by the time we die, it will be less than a hundred, and this is still the maximum possible calculation, because the baby is likely to die. And once we leave civilization, what will happen to us? We will all degenerate into beasts, beasts without civilization. At that time, in fact, we are all destroyed, because we have completely left civilization, and the Chinese are already equivalent to destroying us. ”
"A human being must have long-term contact with civilized people in order to be able to guarantee his own civilization. Humans are social animals, and if they can't get close to people, they will also be degenerated into wild beasts. Therefore, it is impossible for us to continue to go deeper, and once we continue to go deeper, then we will all degenerate into beasts, so that we are actually equivalent to being exterminated by the Chinese. Although it is dangerous, we have a lot of contact with humans, even our enemies. Only if they are there can we be sure that we do not degenerate into blood-drinking beasts. So, we can't retreat. ”
And when his subordinates heard this, they were silent, because if they all degenerated into wild beasts, it would be equivalent to being exterminated by China in the end.
"They're here, call me!" Suddenly a word of Chinese shouted out, which made the remaining natives of more than three hundred people suddenly feel very shocked. (To be continued......)
