Chapter 1579 The First “Strange” Book in the World (First Update, Please Subscribe)
"I just said that our man is now a great hero in England. Would you like to see what the newspapers say?"

Wang Changqing handed over a copy of the Daily Mirror and the Times and said:

"This is the paper that has just arrived from London."

"My God, he was so badly injured. He actually survived!"

The Daily Mirror is a tabloid. On the front page, it published a large photo of Lin Zhipeng. He was lying on the ground in a daze, with a bloody mess on his chest. Next to him was the torn body of a terrorist.

"The Royal Palace was attacked by terrorists - Marines came to the rescue

Several terrorists launched a terrorist attack before the completion of the project, massacring civilians, but the brave act of a sea tourist thwarted their plot.

Lin Zhipeng, an active-duty sergeant in the SEA Marine Corps, fought a desperate battle with the gangsters on the street with his bare hands. The surviving witnesses were stunned by the sudden incident.

Lin Zhipeng, 22 years old, is from Yongxing, SEA. He successfully disarmed a gangster, picked up his weapon, and killed five other gangsters. When another injured terrorist tried to attack civilians with a grenade, he dragged his seriously injured body to subdue the terrorist and successfully thwarted his plot, but he himself was also seriously injured.

He was then taken to the hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment and his condition is currently stable.

According to senior police officers, their unanimous view is that if it had not been for Mr. Lin Zhipeng’s courageous intervention, hundreds of civilians present would have been killed.”

Song Zheyu opened the tabloid and saw a photo inside. The photo was obviously an official photo of the Marine Corps. In the photo, he had a smile on his face and looked high-spirited. He was wearing a Marine Corps uniform and looked handsome and full of vigor. His strong chest muscles held up the uniform, and the muscles in his arms stretched the short sleeves of his shirt so that there was no space left.

Strong and handsome, this photo can be used as a military promotional photo anywhere.

"Where did they get this picture?"

"Oh, this is the photo. It must be provided by the Marine Corps at the request of the Representative Office. It looks a bit like a faxed photo. The Marine Corps will definitely fully cooperate with this kind of thing. After all, for them, this is the best recruitment advertisement. Volunteering to join the Marine Corps is completely different from being recruited by the Marine Corps!
However, there are not many people who are willing to volunteer to serve for three years. "

Hearing this, Song Zheyu couldn't help but laugh. Although young people in SEA regard military service as an obligation and honor, as a part of life, they tend to only serve for 2 years, fulfill their civic obligations, and then retire. In the next 14 years, they will receive training once a year in the camp.

But the Marine Corps is different, the shortest service period there is three years, and more than 70% of the personnel are professional soldiers.

The reason for this is that the Marine Corps is the elite of the SEA armed forces, and is the "first to arrive"... that is, the first elite to arrive at the battlefield. Its training is more rigorous and the requirements are the same.

Because of this, for some young people who are not very willing to serve, the Marine Corps is... hell.

Many young people are willing to fulfill their obligations, but that doesn't mean they are willing to join the Marine Corps, which has a longer service period and more difficult training.

That is why the Marine Corps claims: We only want the best!
And use this slogan to call on the best young people to join the Marine Corps.

"Lin Zhipeng volunteered for military service! And he served for four years."

Next, Song Zhe picked up the Times. Although its title was not very flashy, it was not far behind.

"Now in the UK, all newspapers and TV stations are reporting on this superhero. Many military experts have praised him highly and even said that they can see the military strength of SEA from him..."

While Wang Changqing was talking about this, Song Zheyu, who was reading the newspaper, said:

"It's not important. What's important is who is behind all this. Where did the Kenya Liberation Organization that planned this attack come from? And..."

Just as Wang Changqing was saying this, the phone in the office suddenly rang. Looking at the black phone, both of them were stunned. They knew what kind of phone this was.

It was an emergency call from the Ministry of External Affairs. Whenever this phone rang, nothing good ever happened.

Only the representative offices in various countries would call this number in case of emergency, because this number bypasses the layers of bureaucracy and reports directly to the director.

"Hello, this is the Department of External Affairs' Office of Emergency Affairs."

When Song Zheyu answered the call, the phone started recording automatically.

"I'm from the Saigon Representative Office. An emergency has occurred here."

Saigon Representative Office, emergency.

Just hearing these few words, Song Zheyu's heart tightened, and he immediately picked up the notebook beside him and asked.

"What happened?"

……

“These are our people.”

Looking at the pictures on TV, Li Yian turned his head and said to Margaret beside him.

"You see, even when he was unarmed and faced attacks on civilians, he still stood up without hesitation. This is our man."

When talking about "our people", Li Yian deliberately emphasized the tone, with pride in his voice.

As their leader, he was of course proud. He didn't know what a wolf warrior was, but the warrior on TV was a real superhero, and a spontaneous one at that. Although unarmed, he stood up without hesitation when others needed protection.

Such people are true superheroes.

You can't just play a superhero in movies and be timid in real life.

In reality, when facing danger, we always need to stand up, or at least take the initiative to speak out.

"Yes, these are our people, and now the whole world has witnessed their courage."

Margaret looked at the TV and said with some emotion:

"If it weren't for him, I don't know how many people would have died at the hands of terrorists. Dear, shouldn't we honor him after he comes back?"

"Of course, we will commend him when the time comes, commend him for standing up and commend him for his courageous act."

Li Yian nodded and said:

"Standing up and helping others... In fact, most people have this kind of courage. This kind of courage is instinctive, but some people are systematically stifling this courage."

When he said this, Li Yian's brows knitted together, because he had seen the look of someone being strangled.

"Kill this courage? Why."

Margaret asked in confusion:
"It is to maintain the emperor's rule."

His answer made Margaret suddenly realize.

"Oh, are you talking about The Book of Lord Shang?"

Because Margaret had learned some of the contents of "The Book of Lord Shang" from Li Yian, she had some understanding of the book.

"Yes, he was the source of all evil in ancient society. Since the Qin Dynasty, blind obedience and servility have taken root in the hearts of the people like a seed.

Since ancient times, rulers have never truly given up the unique way of governing the people created in The Book of Lord Shang. "

As a ruler, Li Yian was very clear about the value of "The Book of Lord Shang". Over the past few years, he has been fighting against the temptation of absolute power with all his strength.

“When the people are weak, the country is strong; when the people are strong, the country is weak. Therefore, a country with a good way should focus on weakening its people.”

Talking about the "important matters" of governing a country in "The Book of Lord Shang", Li Yian said:
"As for how to weaken the people, the entire "Book of Lord Shang" also gives specific advice, such as: If the government does what the people hate, the people will be weak; if the government does what the people like, the people will be strong. If the people are weak, the country will be strong; if the people are strong, the country will be weak.

This means that the policies promulgated by the court must not make the people happy. They must do things that the people hate and make them unhappy. In this way, the people will naturally become weaker and the country will naturally become stronger.

On the contrary, if policies always follow the will of the people and make people live more comfortably, it will cause the trouble of "strong people but weak country".

As for how to control the people, in addition to using evil to control the good, letting ruthless and shameless people control the people.

Another very important point is to kill the bloodiness in the hearts of the people."

Watching the host on TV praising Lin Zhipeng with all his praise, Li Yian said:
"This includes, to a certain extent, preventing people from drawing their swords to help others. When it comes to the so-called "brave in public battles, timid in private fights", the core has never been the courage to fight in public, but the timidity to fight in private.

If everyone who sees injustice shouts out, then how can a ruthless and shameless person control such people?
The bloodiness in the hearts of the people must be systematically suppressed by laws. The key is to prevent people from drawing their swords when they see injustice.

Because today you can shout because you don't see people on the road, but tomorrow you may stand up for the injustice in the world. Such people are naturally uncontrollable and difficult to manage.

Therefore, it is necessary to systematically use some methods to stifle the bloodiness of the people and kill them through spiritual castration. For example, regardless of right or wrong, private fights among the people are regarded as "mutual fights", and it seems very fair to give each of them thirty lashes.

Is it fair? Does it matter?
What is important is management, and systematically strangling people’s bloodiness bit by bit, and achieving spiritual castration.”

I was deeply moved by the detailed descriptions of the various types of enslavement of the people in "The Book of Lord Shang", from physical to mental and spiritual slavery and transformation.

That kind of meticulous book, which starts with the so-called "law" to enslave and transform human beings from body to soul, is simply the most "strange" book in history.

Even from a psychological perspective, we can see how the measures he adopted in his book are subtle and minute in their attempt to obliterate humanity and turn people into tools.

When there is no war, they work like slaves and serve as tools of production; when there is a war, they go to the front lines to serve as fill-in-the-line babies and cannon fodder.

If you disobey, what awaits you is fatigue, hunger, and loss of dignity.

And what if you listen?
What awaits you is poverty, fatigue, ignorance, and so on, because this is exactly his purpose.

What Li Yian felt was fear from the bottom of his heart, because his reform measures were filled with bottomless malice towards humanity.

He sacrificed himself to power without any compassion;
Using the most direct and naked method of "tiring, humiliating, fooling, weakening and impoverishing the people", the rulers saw an astonishing scene for the first time:
People can be so despicable, and imperial power can be used like this!
