Chapter Six: The Need for Politics

  ument.write(

  Although she had been greatly stimulated, after all, there was still a nerve belonging to the military. Two days later, Lin Xiaoqing spoke out the situation at that time under the induction of a neurology expert, intermittently and disjointedly. Through comprehensive on-site investigation and organizational examination of Lin Xiaoqing, it can be basically confirmed that this was a retaliatory act with clear purpose and direction by the Vietnamese side. Through identification of the bodies on site, the conclusion drawn was that Bao Yulin had been captured. The military naturally understood why the Vietnamese military took such great pains to capture Bao Yulin at such great risk. At that time, the battlefield environment was very complex, and for Vietnam to gain international public opinion support by capturing a Chinese fighting hero who was about to be heavily promoted, obtaining his anti-war declaration would of course bring many benefits to the Vietnamese side.

  After learning of Bao Yu-lin's capture, the Political Department of the troops immediately reflected and took swift action to stop all propaganda about Bao Yu-lin, recall all propaganda materials and newspapers that could be retrieved, downplay the impact, and minimize the influence caused by Bao Yu-lin's capture on the Chinese side. At the same time, they widely invited domestic and international media to use a large number of facts to expose Vietnam's disregard for international law and norms, its brutal attack on our military hospital, the slaughter of unarmed soldiers and medical personnel treating the wounded, and the inhumane destruction of the bodies of the victims. Of course, these propaganda efforts also included a large amount of data, photos, and examples of our soldiers strictly following the "Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention" and helping poor Vietnamese civilians during breaks in combat.

  Vietnam responded positively, strongly condemning the Chinese government's "invasion" of Vietnam, a sovereign state, and the "massacre of civilians" in Vietnam. They hoped that the international community would unite to resist China's "invasion" and provide more assistance to the Vietnamese government. Regarding the attack on the Chinese military field hospital, Vietnam categorically denied it, calling it another "conspiracy" by the Chinese government, with a purpose that is all too well known.

  Of course, the Vietnamese military still has an important task to complete - they must get Bao Yu-lin to speak out and then combine this with the photos they took at the scene of the assassination (of course, the guns on the corpses had been taken away), as well as using the newspapers from China that propagandized Bao Yu-lin which they obtained through certain channels, to manufacture a piece of propaganda material more beneficial to the Vietnamese government side. The key now is to get Bao Yu-lin to say what the military has arranged for him to say in his confession.

  。。。。。。

  Bao Yulin's injury was treated in the hospital for several days and had almost recovered. Later, due to the impact of a hand grenade explosion at close range, coupled with his old wounds not fully healed, he fell into a coma again. When he woke up, he found himself lying in a military hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

  When he opened his eyes, the green tent that had been in front of him was replaced by a snow-white roof. Bao Yulin couldn't adapt for a moment, and he wondered where this place was. Had he returned to his country? Just as he struggled to look around, a nurse wearing a white coat walked in.

  "Nurse, I... ...where is this place? When can I go back to my country?" asked Bao Yulin with difficulty.

  The nurse seemed surprised, she glanced at Bao Yulin, ignored his question, simply observed the infusion tube fixation on his hand, and then turned around and walked out.

  "The nurse... " Bao Yulin thought the nurse would say something to him, but unexpectedly she didn't pay attention to him at all. This time he found it difficult to speak, and after a few sentences, the little strength he had accumulated in his body seemed to be completely drained. As he watched the nurse walk out, he could only close his eyes.

  。。。。。。

  "Baoyulin, are you awake?" Just as Baoyulin was drowsily thinking of falling asleep, a question with a strange tone rang out.

  "Yes..." Baoyulin struggled to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a khaki-colored big hat. What's going on? Baoyulin's heart suddenly skipped a beat. The counterattack against Vietnam had been going on for some time, and he was familiar with the Vietnamese military uniform. He widened his eyes and turned his head to see what was happening. As a result, he found that several people wearing Vietnamese military uniforms were standing in the ward, and several journalist-like people were frantically taking pictures with cameras and microphones, one of which was thrust into his mouth.

  "What is this place? Who are you?" Bao Yulin suddenly became tense, the pain on his body seemed to have eased a bit, he had to quickly figure out the situation.

  "Bao Yulin, you must understand the situation! As an invader, you have been captured by our brave Vietnamese People's Army. We know that you were deceived by the Chinese government to come to Vietnam. The traditional friendship between the Vietnamese people and the Chinese people has a long history, and we do not want war. However, when war is imposed on us, the Vietnamese people will resolutely resist! We believe that all invaders will not have a good end. Therefore, as a prisoner of war, you must reflect well, quickly awaken, and stand on the revolutionary road against invasion, against hegemonism!" The leading Vietnamese officer said sternly in front of the camera.

  "What...?" Bao Yulin realized at this time that he had indeed been captured: "So what do you want to do?"

  "Our Party and people of Vietnam hope that you will thoroughly correct your past mistakes, expose the aggressive expansionist activities... and truly become a friend of our Party and people." The Vietnamese officer spoke these words with such sincerity that at one point Bao Yu-lin thought they were genuine.

  "You mean I'm a prisoner of war now. I have to say what you want me to, otherwise I won't be treated as a prisoner of war in the future?" Although there were regulations in the army's orders about preferring death to capture, Bao Yulin didn't know that he was in such a state now, and even moving a bit was a problem. He really didn't know how to fight with the enemy. However, this doesn't mean he can't play a trick on the enemy.

  "Bao Yulin, you must be clear about the form and environment, we know that our Vietnamese People's Army has always been lenient to prisoners of war. We hope you can come to your senses and stand on the side of justice. Don't worry, no matter what, giving you prisoner of war treatment is the tradition of our people's army towards prisoners of war. In those years when we captured many American prisoners, how did we deal with them? Didn't we release them according to the Geneva Convention? So, this point you can rest assured!" The officer's words were sincere and honest. After all, he was a political worker, I estimate that even he himself didn't know whether what he said was true or false.

  "I understand." Bao Yulin hesitated for a moment: "You've said too many things, I can't accept them all at once. Besides, I'm very tired now, and I think it's time to show your humanitarianism, let me rest for a while. I think we should discuss this matter another time." Having understood the other party's intention, Bao Yulin now needs to buy some time for himself, he has to figure out how to handle it.

  "Baoyulin, it seems you're still a sensible person. I'm very familiar with the way things are done in China, but I'm not a petty person. I can give you time to consider, but not much. I hope you understand that for Chinese people, you're a hero, but for us Vietnamese, you're a criminal. I'm giving you an opportunity now. I hope that by tomorrow when I come back, you'll have thought it through and have a clear understanding. Otherwise, the Vietnamese government will put you on trial!"

  The Vietnamese officer didn't mind Baoyulin's attitude at the moment. He knew he needed to give him some time to think about it. Everyone knows that during wartime, there are always unexpected things that can happen, and it's easy to use certain methods to pin a crime on Baoyulin. By then, Baoyulin would do whatever they wanted.

  The Vietnamese officer's surname and name were not what Bao Yulin was concerned about now. One thing he understood was that this time, he might have really become the meat on the chopping board. But what could he do in his current state? First, let's drag it down and think if there's any way out.

  "I'm fully aware of my situation, thank you for sending me to the hospital. I'm really exhausted now. I think maybe tomorrow my spirit will be a little better." Bao Yulin was still afraid to offend the Vietnamese officer, who knows if he would shoot himself.

  。。。。。。

  After Bao Yulin closed his eyes, the Vietnamese officer led a group of reporters out of the room. Before things were clear, it was obviously inappropriate for Bao Yulin to meet with foreign reporters. Using the chips in hand to gain the greatest benefit is something that every politician must learn.

  。。。。。。

  Bao Yulin lay on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, but not a single thought in his mind was relaxed. There were many stories about persuading enemies to surrender in movies, but he never thought it would happen to himself. Bao Yulin knew what would happen to traitors, and if he had the chance to fight the enemy now, he wouldn't hesitate. However, even moving a little was difficult for him at this moment. He also thought about biting his tongue, but that would be painful, and it wouldn't put his life in danger - it was just a way of tormenting himself. Besides, wasn't things okay like this? Staying in the enemy's hospital, taking the enemy's medicine, as long as he refused to speak, no one could make him say anything. When the time came, if they were desperate, he would grab an enemy and die together - that was better than killing himself quietly now. After all, everyone is afraid of death.

  In this way, Bao Yulin dazedly thought about it and fell asleep unknowingly. After all, he was injured and the environment of the field hospital couldn't compare to a regular hospital. This sleep was very sweet, perhaps it was the best sleep he had since entering Vietnam.
