Longmen Memoirs

"This is difficult, and the infected themselves need to make huge concessions and sacrifices at this point. It will be a difficult test for us, but from another perspective, ideological collisions and wars are inherently So, people's ingrained beliefs and the length of time they've been infected can be serious roadblocks."

Chen Mo talked a lot that night.

He thinks too long-term, and his considerations will inevitably make people feel unrealistic, because he [<~

As a leader, Tallulah should be prepared for this.

People's thoughts are also constantly changing. People cannot keep the same idea forever, and what actually happens will be different from what people imagined. But this does not mean that plans and foresight lose their role. The real role of plans and foresight is The reason is that when people encounter similar situations, they will not be caught off guard, and that people generally have a direction in their hearts, and with the direction, they will not get lost on the road. It is always good to have a way forward, even if it cannot be reached.

Chen Mo always feels that he has not done enough and is not good enough.

He didn't have this idea when he was in Kazdaele, because What Theresia lacked was determination. She actually knew many things clearly in her heart, but Tallulah was different. For Tallulah, her path forward was a The field is unknown.

For Chen Mo, he knew that his girl would have to go her own way one day. He knew that there were some things that no one else could help Tallulah, and that she could only walk her own way.

But as a family member, Chen Mo can never really rest assured.

Chapter 113: Meeting... always parting ([-])

The camp is not the only organization of infected people in Ursus, nor is it even the first infected organization to become determined to resist the oppression of Ursus.

Long before Tallulah decided to lead the infected to resist the oppression of Ursus, the guerrillas and patriots were already doing so. Even earlier, before Tallulah became an infected person, large and small people in Ursus were doing so. The resistance organizations of infected people never stop.

In fact, it doesn’t have to be her. Even if there is no Tallulah, there will still be Black Loula. People like White Loula are determined to resist this unfair world and this unfair empire.

She's not the only one, and she doesn't have to be the only one.

But for Tallulah herself, she is just one of the thousands of infected people who are exploited and oppressed in Ursus. She is just one of the people who were harshly criticized and abused by the empire and finally became unbearable and determined to resist. .

There is nothing special about her, and she does not think that without her, the infected would not be able to resist Ursus. She does not think that even with her, Ursus would be willing to treat the infected fairly.

She just couldn't tolerate these, the tragedies and injustices that happened in front of her. She was naive and upright, smart but too kind. Unfortunately, this land never favored anyone because of kindness and rightness. Unfortunately, many things in this land are only about strength.

Chen Mo thought that the large and small infected organizations from various places might choose to join forces with her, but they were unlikely to obey the orders of the camp. It was better in the snowfield, and the title of Shield was very useful, but it was different in the south. In the city The infected people may not have heard of the shield's reputation, and the guerrillas and patriots may not be able to convince them.

Chen Mo knew that Tallulah always had a way. Since she could convince the patriots to recognize her identity as the leader, it was just a matter of spending a little more time.

Chen Mo is only worried about the cohesion of large and small infected organizations. He knows that the foundation of power is always based on strength, and the coordination between people is maintained on the basis of strength.

It is not enough for a cohesive group to have a purpose and a consistent idea. It must also have interests. Everyone must understand, and those infected must understand that by following you, their demands can be realized, instead of making empty promises and people's minds changing. Not long.

They also need discipline and rules. Straight soldiers will never succeed. They need to unite the infected people into a whole and use effective discipline and a clear system of rewards and punishments to integrate the infected people into a group with combat effectiveness.

It's certainly not easy either.

Because Ursans have countless ways to provoke and slander, not all infected people can remain clear-headed, and not all infected people can have firm determination, not to mention that becoming an infected person is painful for ordinary people. However, for dead soldiers, soldiers, and nobles' evil methods, they have countless ways to make a person who is loyal to them become an infected person and join them.

Fighting will be everywhere.

Chen Mo would inevitably think so. If he were the general of Ursus and one of the people in power of Ursus, he would have too many ways to destroy this fragile organization from the inside. Maybe they haven't reached that point yet, and they still can't. It's not enough to attract Ursus' attention, but it must be considered in the future.

It is not feasible or advisable to treat infected people as comrades and companions based on infected people. Companions of infected people should not be measured solely by whether they are infected with Originium Disease. Ursus's foreign and domestic policies have caused countless The contradictions between the people who are oppressed by these harsh laws are not necessarily all infected, and they are not necessarily only in the Ursus Empire. They are Ursus people, at the borders, in other countries, and within Ursus. people from other countries.

All walks of life, to name a few.

If they agree with this concept, if they are willing to fight against the oppression and exploitation of the empire, at this stage, they are all friends of the infected. There are many powers that the infected can seek, and they should not only look at the individual infected. On the premise that the Ursus Empire is still a common enemy, even if they have different demands, they may not be able to become allies.

Being infected with Originium Disease is very scary, but compared to the dark life, compared to the cruel and heavy punishments and laws of the empire, many people should know how to choose. They do not have to become infected, but they can borrow the power of the infected to survive. The infected can also draw on their power.

Enemies of enemies are not necessarily friends, but enemies of enemies must be willing to unite to face enemies that are stronger than them and more urgent to deal with than each other, even the feuding nobles within Ursus, even the emperor and parliament , if they want something, they may not be able to rely on their power and strength.

Chen Mo thought that after he stopped writing, he did not erase the above paragraph.

She thought Tallulah would not agree, although she knew that they had a great chance of doing this, and it would indeed work. Maybe she would consider joining others, but only the nobles and military of Ursus , she will not have anything to do with these forces.

She is still too young and has not had enough experience. Even though she is much more stable than her peers, she still has a lot of spirit and a bottom line that she is unwilling to let go.

She and Chen Mo are not the same kind of people. Chen Mo knows that she can't do anything for something, but this is a good thing. As a leader, her every move is seen by others. What she does is the most important thing in the camp. A solid symbol, if not now, then in the future.

Chen Mo had no choice but to accommodate her and think about it in many ways, how to allow Tallulah to live and move forward the way he wanted while the infected person was seeking a future path.

Kazdaele’s assistance alone will not last long. The infected will eventually have to build their own solid force for sustainable development. They will eventually have to build their own factories, schools, cities, and hospitals. Maybe these are a bit long-term now, but the infected must To have this plan, it is most undesirable to place the foundation of hope on others. While being controlled by others, it is inevitable that many things cannot be decided by oneself. Even Kazdel of Theresia, but in the future, if Kazdel does not Willing to continue helping them.

Tallulah must have this plan, and so must the infected.

At this stage, Kazdaele gives the infected the opportunity to build a foundation, and in the future, they will have to rely on this foundation to realize their own ideals and demands.

To change the situation of the infected, we must first change the thoughts of the infected. To change the thinking of the infected, we must first make the infected believe that they can live, have bread, bedding, shelter, and give them hope that they can see.

To change the situation of Ursus infected people, you must first change the Ursus people's thinking. The prerequisite for changing the Ursus people's thinking is to make the Ursas people willing to listen to you. The first step to achieve this goal is for the infected people to Have your own power.

To change the entire Ursus, the key point is to unite the various groups and masses oppressed by Ursus and unite these forces that are different from the infected. The infected alone cannot fight against this country, and the pressure must be dispersed. Unite Ursus' own people and let Ursus' own people make choices. The infected do not have to lead them, but they must believe that the infected are not their enemies, and the infected can even become their friends. After that, When these are completed.

Chen Mo didn't know what Ursus looked like at that time, but at least Ursus at that time. If Tallulah wished, if Tallulah could fulfill the above conditions, the infected person might actually become a new Ursus. a part of.

They have always been a part of Ursus. The infected people in every country and every city are their own part. Without the infected people, the city cannot move or develop. It is just that people have forgotten these. The transfer of contradictions makes people ignore it. got these.

Has it always been this way?

He was meant to be what he was, and the infected and the oppressed and exploited people of Ursus should have had the idea to let things be what they were.

Chen Mo wrote intermittently.

While he still had some time, and while the camp was still somewhat free during this period, he wanted to write down his thoughts, and he wanted to leave these ideas and thoughts to Tallulah.

In fact, it would be better for him to keep it by himself than the words written in these books. The words written in his pen are limited after all. They can't give people warmth, and they can't tell people exactly how to deal with any situation they encounter. right.

People who have no worries about the future must worry about the immediate future, and the same is true for the infected people in the camp.

Policy after policy, plan after plan, Chen Mo had never done anything in such detail, and he had never considered something so long-term and not sure whether it was feasible.

The construction of the camp and the work of the education team cannot be stopped. Not only cannot it be stopped, but it must also be paid attention to. Alina alone cannot complete these. In Chen Mo's view, the future foundation of the entire camp is not only the soldiers fighting on the front line, but also It’s Alina’s education group.

Their thoughts are not yet mature enough. Kazdel's theory may provide more new ideas for the infected. Alina and the infected themselves must also explore, think, and correct.

Making mistakes is not terrible. No one will make mistakes. The important thing is to be able to correct and make up for it in time after making mistakes. It is never too late to make amends. No long-tested team has never made mistakes. Making mistakes is a good thing, because mistakes can reveal themselves. shortcomings, because these mistakes allow them to understand themselves more clearly.

The journey south has just begun, and this is what the infected need to pay attention to. Soldiers and captains of each team should pay attention to learning new knowledge and culture, and learn to look beyond the limitations of the infected to try to explore and contact all walks of life. Professional figures and various groups oppressed by Ursus, they are all potential friends of the infected.

If the infected are compared to a force in Ursus, then there are many other forces in Ursus, belonging to different industries, groups of people, and classes. They may not be united, and they may not be unable to get what they need from the infected.

We need to listen to different voices, whether they are the civilians of Ursus, the government, the army, the nobility, or the parliament. We must learn to think and learn to look at things objectively, so that we will not be swayed by one voice or one will.

[I hope that the infected people will not only be fighters who resist the oppression of Ursus' laws in behavior, but also spiritual fighters who resist Ursus' fallacies and heresies. They must arm themselves with their thoughts and become a true fighter who dares to resist. Infected fighter.

What is a true fighter of the infected?

In my opinion, a true fighter of the infected must never be satisfied with the status quo, never care about the interests, and therefore always be in pain, and be ready to make sacrifices at any time.

But at the same time, he is independent and sober. He never follows the crowd or goes with the flow, nor does he act as a bystander or spectator, or jump on stage to perform with bluff.

Therefore, he is lonely and insightful. He can see the abyss from the sky. Therefore, the true infected fighter gains his own independent value.

If the infected want to change this land and change their own suffering and situation, they need true infected fighters who are never satisfied with the status quo and are never out of place.

I hope that all the suffering and harshly criticized infected people on this land can get rid of the shackles of Originium Disease, unite, and just move up. There is no need to listen to the words of those who give up on themselves, and there is no need to lament their own tragic fate. Those who can do things can do things. , those who can make a sound have some heat and some light, just like a firefly, they can also shine a little light in the dark without waiting for a torch. If there is no torch in the future, they themselves will be the only light.

Even if the night is long and cold in front of me, even if the road under my feet leads to nowhere. 】

Words have always been powerful. Words are the foundation of human beings. They teach people many things. They also kill people, but they are more deadly.

Chen Mo put down his pen and coughed a few times. The cough was short and violent in the middle of the night under the warm light. He closed the note and looked back. Only where the girl was sitting just now could still vaguely see her figure, and it seemed like a blur. It gradually fades away like a reflection.

Chen Mo sighed lightly.

Crystal Age July 11

"Is it okay to let Froststar and Wendigo go alone?"

Chen Mo asked after the meeting.

This time they contacted Kazdale. According to the agreed time, they should have sent personnel. However, the patriots and guerrillas who contacted Kazdale last time changed their contact person to Frost Star this time due to the Patriot's health. .

"No problem, she can handle this kind of thing, and Red is also with Kazdale, he will come back with Frost Star and the others." Tallulah said: "If you ask Frost Star like this in person, She might not give you a good look."

"She...ah, indeed, she will definitely feel that I underestimate her."

"You know that too."

"She has a stronger temper, otherwise she wouldn't have left the meeting early because she stayed in the snowfield."

"Do you still remember this?" Tallulah looked at Chen Mo in surprise.

"I haven't been here long," Chen Mo said.

Tallulah was startled.

"That's what I said, but if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have realized it. It's only been a year since you came here. You are so familiar with everyone. It feels like you have always been among us."

"A lot has happened this year." Chen Mo said, "By the way, do you want to send Shuangxing off? They will leave in the afternoon."

"I have to go see the snow monsters. There are some things I won't worry about if I don't tell them in person."

"Then I won't accompany you there. Kahn has contacted Kannot. I have to go with him to meet the contact person."

"That weird businessman from last time?"

"Yes, he still owes engineering equipment for the camp box farm. I hope his contact can help us gain something."

Tallulah didn't answer. She thought for a few seconds.

"Do you need me to come with you?"

"Well, I won't use it for the time being. I'm just Cannott's contact person. I will let you know when there is news. I think it's better for you to negotiate with the other party in person for some things, and most of them think so too."

When Chen Mo said this, Tallulah didn't insist anymore. She stretched out her hand to straighten Chen Mo's collar.

"I'll wait for you to come back at the camp. Also, please pay attention to safety."

Chen Mo smiled.

"understood."

I think there is no doubt that I love this girl. While I love this girl, I also hope that she can live the way she wants, love the people she loves, and love the career she loves.

Chapter 114: Meeting... always parting ([-])

Eastern Wilds of Ursus

January 1094, 11 22:4

"Visually detected the signal mark, captain, they are already here."

On the hillside, Kahn put down his telescope and looked at Chen Mo behind him. In the wilderness in the distance, at the abandoned village tower at the designated meeting point, a red cloth strip was fluttering in the wind.

The village has been abandoned for many years. It is unclear whether it was destroyed by pickets or natural disasters.

Chen Mo took the telescope and after confirming the target object, he began to assign tasks.

"The first team will stay, and the second team will follow me down to have a look."

The infected took action, and Kahn, as his deputy, was temporarily in charge of the second team. Once they encountered something unexpected below, the second team would cover them according to the situation.

Just as Ino was about to follow the next team, Chen Mo's voice sounded again.

"Mephisto is moving with the second team, keep an eye on him, Karn."

The boy made a move.

"Yes."

【@

Kahn stood behind Ino and held down the boy's shoulders. The boy had to give up the idea of ​​​​acting with the first team and just watched them go down the hillside and slowly approach the village below under the sight of the second team.

"There's nothing left, captain, except for some rotten houses and wooden boards. The useful things have been moved away long ago."

They walked into the village.

The accompanying soldiers observed the traces of the village.

"Be alert, Kahn, can you see other personnel coming and going from your position?"

Chen Mo's voice sounded on the radio.

"Not yet."

At this moment, a crossbow arrow was quietly raised from behind a certain building and aimed at the people walking into the village. In sight was the man who was talking to Kahn on the phone.

"Relax, these people are our friends."
