Chapter 1383 The Millennium Empire Dream (First update, please subscribe)

"Where are all the flowers? The girls picked them all. Where are all the girls? The boys married them all. Where are all the boys? They went to fight in the war. Where are all the soldiers? They died in the war and are in the graves. Where are all the graves? They are covered with flowers..."

Who wrote this folk song?

No one knows, but such a decadent song will definitely not be played on the Empire's radio stations. What is being played on the Empire's radio stations now? Of course, it is the majestic military songs and marches.

For example, the holy war, or our expedition to England... and so on. In a word, such decadent music is definitely not necessary for the Ming Empire.

But...Emperor Zhu knew very well what effect this song would have in the future.

What impressed him most in the simulator?

I'm afraid this is this song. This song... was plagiarized by Emperor Zhu himself. It's an anti-war song. What's the purpose of plagiarizing it?

Of course it’s for psychological offensive!

In war, psychological warfare is sometimes more powerful than guns! And this song ended the war. At least it ended the war that lasted for several years. Of course, this also had a lot to do with the fact that the war lasted too long and there were too many casualties.

In World War I, both worlds were the same, there were casualties, and both ended in internal problems.

This song...

While humming this song, Emperor Zhu was walking alone in the Martyrs' Shrine in silence. Even though it was drizzling, he just kept walking in the rain.

In fact, Emperor Zhu didn't know why he came here.

Standing in the cemetery, looking at the white tombstones, his heart seemed a little heavy. Yingtian Martyrs' Shrine was the most glorious burial place for the imperial soldiers. About 30,000 officers and soldiers were buried here. Their spirits were enshrined in the majestic and magnificent Martyrs' Shrine, where they were remembered and commemorated by the world.

Yingtian Martyrs' Shrine...is the burial place of the imperial soldiers.

It is also the largest Martyrs' Shrine in the empire. Being buried here is the highest honor for a soldier. "See you at the Martyrs' Shrine" is, to some extent, the desire and determination of the soldiers of the empire.

At this moment, Emperor Zhu, who was standing there, looked at the continuous white tombstones, and his mood seemed a little heavy. In the simulator, he came to this Martyrs' Shrine more than once - according to convention, the emperor would go to the Martyrs' Shrine every year to pay tribute to the loyal heroes who had sacrificed their lives for the country.

There are three sacrifices a year.

Not once can the emperor miss a single visit. If the emperor cannot come in person due to some matter, he must also appoint the crown prince to come. This is to show the status and importance of the emperor.

So in the next few years, Emperor Zhu would come here every year, and it was here that he witnessed the changes here.

What kind of changes will happen here in the next few years?

On this green grass, more and more tombstones appeared, the white tombstones were endless, like guards waiting for the emperor's inspection, but... there were too many of them.

At this time, Emperor Zhu stood here silently. He was not reminiscing about anything, but recalling the scenes in the simulator.

In the simulator, it is noisy every day. After all, in a war, a large number of soldiers are killed or injured every day... This is inevitable!

Many imperial soldiers chose to be buried here... After all, this is the place of highest honor for soldiers!

"How a country respects and honors those who have sacrificed for it is also a question of how its people treat their own country."

Emperor Zhu's mind once again emerged the speech he made here when the Martyrs' Shrine was completed.

Remembrance and gratitude, in the name of a country!

This is the reason for building the Martyrs' Shrine. It is not just about remembrance and gratitude. What is the other reason?

It is to inspire the soldiers' spirit of sacrifice with honor and gratitude, and of course, to inspire the patriotism of ordinary people.

Over the past few decades, through education, the young people of the empire have undergone tremendous changes. They are eager for war, eager for glory, have no fear of death, and are full of patriotism.

And now... they are heading to the battlefield!

And this will be an unprecedentedly cruel war!

Standing in this cemetery, looking at the white tombstones, the mind of Emperor Zhu once again emerged from countless extremely cruel battles in the simulation. Hundreds of thousands of young men of the empire withered at the most dazzling moment of their lives. They shed blood and sacrificed for it!

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

"The Empire must use its sword to open up living space for the Chinese nation. For strategic victory! Sacrifices must be made!"

"Soldiers mean sacrifice!"

"In order to seek the happiness of the Chinese nation for generations, our generation will always have to make sacrifices..."

In any so-called "grand cause", there will always be sacrifices, and in the future world war, many young lives will be sacrificed on battlefields thousands of miles away. Those young soldiers set out on the journey full of patriotism, but what awaits them?

It was the muddy trenches, the hail of bullets, and the personal sacrifice.

yes……

Pursing his lips, Emperor Zhu sighed softly.

Is there a choice?

There is no choice, this is something that must be done and sacrifices that must be made.

"This is the last chance!"

Standing in the cemetery and looking at the white tombstone, Emperor Zhu seemed to be persuading himself.

"If we miss this opportunity, not only will it cause harm for thousands of years, but it will also cause future generations to lose opportunities..."

While talking to himself, Emperor Zhu once again thought of the "Big Thunderstorm Plan" formulated by the General Staff. It was destined to be a summer storm that would sweep across most of the world.

When the plan succeeds, the Pacific Ocean...will no longer be the Pacific Ocean, but the "Huaxia Ocean". It will become China's inland sea. And the Chinese nation will also gain a wider living space!

"In war... sacrifice is inevitable!"

Emperor Zhu lowered his head and glanced at the tombstone, reading the simple words on it.

"There are some things that always need to be done... We should be able to do them before we die."

Looking at the words on the tombstone, Emperor Zhu said meaningfully, and then gently stroked the tombstone with his hand. At this moment, he had made a decision in his heart.

"No, it must be done, otherwise, history may repeat itself..."

He could do all this if the plan could be successfully implemented.

The perfect plan?

Emperor Zhu did not dare to speak rashly, but he knew the consequences once the plan was implemented.

The dream of a thousand-year empire, the moment of decision, is coming soon.

How many people are looking forward to all this as eagerly as I am?

Of course, Emperor Zhu's mood was also complicated. He was eagerly looking forward to all this, but his heart was also heavy for the upcoming sacrifice.

At this time, the rain had stopped. Looking into the distance, the sun was setting, the setting sun was as red as blood, and there was a silent smell of death.

Perhaps, the sages and heroes of China throughout the ages are also eagerly looking forward to it.

Don't worry, just watch us!

The dream of a thousand-year empire...will eventually come true!
