Chapter 712 Warmth
War is never something any country wants to initiate on its own initiative, because war essentially means depriving the people of their livelihood and means tyranny.
Moreover, in such a war, the manpower and material resources consumed could have made the people's lives happier, but now, only endless pain is left.
On the way back to the New Star Domain, Yang Mu accidentally came across an article that had been widely circulated on the Internet recently. It was an insight written by a student who was drafted into the army just after graduation.
The title is simply called War Left Me Nothing But Never Worthless.
He said that for a person, how much money did his parents spend to let him grow up, how much money did he spend to learn professional knowledge, how much money did he spend to learn all kinds of useful knowledge, and how much money did his parents spend to let him grow up? , looking forward to making a career one day in the future.
But when the war came, I put on powerful equipment that could match the expenditures over the years. I used the materials that the country had spent a lot of effort to transport to fight against bugs in a remote battlefield, and then died on the battlefield.
In the end, he became one of thousands of corpses and spent a huge amount of material and financial resources, but in the end only one bug was taken away.
This is war, which destroys one person's dreams, destroys everyone's lives, and wastes countless resources.
But why not take a look at what contributions this country made in order to win this war? The people eat the worst food and do their best to protect the front line, hoping to see their children return victorious. Since they have paid such a high price, why should they give up? From the moment you pick up the steel gun, there is no retreat.
What this man said was very pertinent. Yang Mu was quite emotional when he saw all this. In just over a year, the entire PAJR was already riddled with holes. The entire country's economy had come to a standstill and the people's lives were in jeopardy. Earth-shaking changes have taken place, especially some residents on the edge of the safe star field, who are always worried about whether they can evacuate to a safe place by spaceship.
And in such a war, how many ambitious young people just shed their blood on the battlefield.
Returning to the New Star Realm after a long absence, Yang Mu returned here with complicated emotions. Returning to the familiar planet, seeing that the war had not spread here, although his interest was less prosperous than in the past, it was still full of vitality. Yang Mu Cong felt happy in his heart.
This time Yang Mu's return was secret, and there was only one day in total, so everything was in a hurry. Neither Tuo Lei nor Zongdi could come. Only Zheng Hai came to greet him on the planet for the time being. The two of them were in Tai We had a brief meeting at the airport.
"I know you will be back soon, so I won't waste your time. Yang Mu, uncle, I will make it bigger and ask you a question."
On the space shuttle, Zheng Hai, who was high-spirited and even a little tired, asked Yang Mu.
"If you lose this battle, you will come back alive, right?"
Zheng Hai's tone was firm, with an undeniable momentum. Yang Mu looked up at the other person, without dodge his eyes, and nodded straightly.
"I will come back, and I won't lose this fight."
Zheng Hai sighed softly after receiving Yang Mu's answer, nodded, looked at the sky outside, and said to Yang Mu.
"Yang Mu, you are now the pride of our New Star Territory. I have watched you grow up with the New Star Territory, and I absolutely hate to see you all suffer any harm."
"I don't want to lose the new star domain, and I don't want to lose you, kid."
"Uncle Zheng." When Zheng Hai said this, Yang Mu interrupted him, straightened his upper body, looked at Zheng Hai, and said slowly.
"I have a heartfelt request, uncle, please help me."
Zheng Hai came back to his senses and nodded immediately: "Just tell me, I will promise you anything."
"Uncle Zheng, if... if the war is really serious, please arrange for my family to leave here, and then give these two things to my wife and children."
Yang Mu said this with a heavy tone in his tone, and what he took out from his arms were two medals. One was a purple cloud pattern, which was the Hero Medal, and the other was a silver-white medal. The style is rather rough compared to the first one.
Yang Mu looked at the two things in his hands with emotion in his eyes, gently touched the two medals, and said to Zheng Hai.
"This is my hero's medal. It is a recognition of me. This... is my father's medal. Although it doesn't look good, I have kept it with me all these years."
"Uncle, please give it to Cai'er for me when the time comes, and tell her and Xiaoxin that as a husband and a father, I am a hero."
With that said, Yang Mu handed the two things to Zheng Hai. Zheng Hai looked a little stunned, but after listening to Yang Mu's words and looking at the things he handed over, he took them seriously and took out the silk handkerchief to wrap it up. Put it in your pocket, then raise your head and look at Yang Mu.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I'll keep this thing for you for now, but when the time comes, you can give it to your wife and children."
When Zheng Hai said this, he looked at Yang Mu with a heavy expression. Zheng Hai, who had always been serious, also felt sad.
Yang Mu gave him a smile.
…
Separating from the busy Zheng Hai, Yang Mu drove low-key to his home in a camouflaged special car. The scenery along the way looked particularly gorgeous under the dusk, with golden trees, golden rivers, and golden trees in the distance. The building looks extremely beautiful at dusk.
However, the streets are a little less lively. Most of the shops are open, but the excitement of pedestrians is much less. At this moment, most people are walking in a hurry, and the huge city seems a bit cold.
Yang Mu sighed softly. Could it be that this situation is not because of this war? The lives of the people have become dull and even a little difficult, and they have to tighten their belts again and contribute their part to the decisive battle of mankind. share of strength.
For a country to truly complete a war, it needs the support of tens of millions of ordinary people. Only by working together can we overcome the difficulties.
Yang Mu clenched his fists, wanting to make this decisive battle worthwhile and make all the efforts deserved.
The vehicle drove through blocks of blocks and finally entered the familiar community, and then the small courtyard and the familiar roof, which looked particularly gentle under the sunset.
Yang Mu felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart. He opened the car window and heard the laughter of children and the laughter of adults coming from the courtyard. He felt even warmer in his heart.
A deep longing arose in Yang Mu's heart. Looking at the small courtyard, Yang Mu asked the driver to stop and got off the car at a distance. Then he asked the security guards to step away. He held a handful of flowers and started from there. The bluestone road that used to go to school slowly turned to the front of the courtyard.
The cheers came closer, and Yang Mu finally approached the courtyard and saw the scene in the courtyard from the corner of the bushes.
A little boy was trotting and chasing a ball towards him. His pure eyes were staring at the rolling ball, and at the same time, his fat little feet were moving very fast.
Yang Mu stopped unconsciously and stood in this corner of the courtyard watching the little Yang Xin running towards him.
The ball gradually stopped, Yang Mu slowly bent down to pick up the ball, but he happened to see Yang Mu who was stopped. Under the sunset, Yang Mu seemed to be surrounded by golden light, and little Yang Xin tilted his head.
He did not leave immediately, nor did he show fear. Instead, he gradually showed a suspicious expression. He looked at Yang Mu and scratched his head with a small hand.
A gentle female voice came from behind, and Xiao Yangxin responded, but did not turn around. The father and son looked at each other, and Yang Mu's face was full of warmth.
The female voice also slowly approached, and then suddenly stopped. Xiao Yangxin turned his head and said something strange.
"Mom, mom, this uncle is so strange. He looks like dad."
Yang Mu's eyes gradually saw Chen Cai, who had lost his voice in the distance, and the smile on his face became even bigger. Chen Cai came over excitedly, picked up three-year-old Yang Xin, and then walked slowly to Beside the fence, looking at Yang Mu through the bushes, his eyes suddenly turned red.
"Xiaoxin, this is dad. Dad is back to see you."
Yang Mu's eyes suddenly became moist, and he opened his hands towards the mother and son.
