The scenery of the Great Slave Lake was very beautiful. It was surrounded by trees, and water birds and swans could often be seen in the summer. Now that it was frozen for thousands of miles, there was a special charm to it.
Of course, Lieutenant Qi Rui didn't come to see the scenery. He took a platoon of troops and headed northwest along the lake. At this time, there was no one in the northwest. Since the railway was built to the farms in the south, the food supply of the Great Slave Lake didn't need to rely on water transport from the Pacific Ocean. In contrast, the food had to be transported from the United States to Alaska.
The hunting grounds that were originally set in the northwest of the Great Slave Lake were abandoned. People were social creatures. In the vast land of North America, the Chinese paid more attention to living in groups. Farms were social, not to mention towns. Everyone voluntarily moved to live on both sides of the railway. There were a lot of stations. In order to take care of the convenience of collecting food, there were even plans to build double lines.
Lieutenant Qi Rui still remembered when the railway was first built at the Great Slave Lake, the troops joked that when they retired, they could live in this beautiful place using the abandoned hunting grounds and live a free and unfettered life. However, as the railway continued to expand, no one really went to this place to hunt for a living. And those abandoned hunting grounds became the best hiding places for Li Guangzu. There was a place to live and some simple tools. It was completely possible for a person to live here.
The comrades in the army wore goggles and masks, and the ears of their hats were pulled down. Although no one showed their faces, Lieutenant Qi Rui could still feel the strong negative emotions of his comrades. The army killed someone! This saying spread quickly in the immigrant farms. Whether or not they supported the actions of Li Guangzu's brother, no one in the farm supported the action of killing someone.
The army was the people's army, and the army was the people's protector. This was the image that the Liberation Army had established for 30 years. This image was so deeply rooted in people's hearts, and this image was so strong. Not only did the people think so, but the army also recognized it. Every single person who joined the army firmly believed in this. Every soldier was proud of this identity. The army naturally had higher moral standards and moral requirements than the people. This was already a consensus in the Min dynasty.
Now, Li Guangzu's actions had undoubtedly dealt a considerable blow to the army.
Lieutenant Qi Rui was thinking about the construction of the army. Most of the people in North America were soldiers, and the proportion of soldiers in Xinxiang City was even higher. The atmosphere in the city was more like that of a huge construction site. Everyone worked at sunrise and returned at sunset. There was no sense of sternness at all. If they hadn't stayed in such an atmosphere for so long, would something like Li Guangzu have happened? Lieutenant Qi Rui was rather suspicious.
No matter what kind of constructive role the army played in the current society, the essence of the army still existed for war. It was precisely because of the cruelty of war that the army had such strong discipline. When the army was completely responsible for peacetime construction, this discipline was also unknowingly eroded.
In a sense, Lieutenant Qi Rui had no choice but to consider these contents. He didn't want to think about himself. If it weren't for Li Guangzu's incident, Lieutenant Qi Rui should have a chance to be promoted to major soon. The camp commissar's exasperated speech was not unreasonable, but precisely because he was exasperated, the content of his speech was actually completely reasonable.
Li Guangzu's escape was the most harmful thing to the army. On the way, Lieutenant Qi Rui also arrived at the farm where Li Guangzu committed the crime. This was the information he received. After Li Guangzu saw his brother, he immediately scolded his brother. In addition to scolding his brother for being reckless and marrying without permission, he also asked the farm head to send his brother back to Hebei.
It must be said that Li Guangzu's words were not necessarily unreasonable to ordinary farm staff. Even the farm head couldn't immediately find a way to overwhelm Li Guangzu's position. The farm head could only say, "This is the arrangement of the Immigration Bureau. This is not something that can be decided by you or me."
The tragedy happened at this time. Li Guangzu saw that he was completely "reasonable", so he didn't let it go. In addition to scolding the farm head for harboring bad people, he also wanted to take his brother away by force. His brother's wife hid on the side and didn't say anything at first, but seeing that Li Guangzu was going too far, she couldn't help but come up and say a few words.
Li Guangzu originally felt that he was righteous and righteous. Eloping was looked down upon and discriminated against by traditional concepts. And the woman who eloped was morally "wrong" and belonged to the category of bad people. In traditional culture, the righteous could impose any punishment on the bad people.
Seeing that the bad people dared to resist and actually dared to accuse the righteous, Li Guangzu went up and slapped his sister-in-law twice. This time, Li Guangzu's brother didn't agree and went up to protect his wife. So Li Guangzu began to beat his brother.
The wife was naturally unhappy when her husband was beaten. During the shoving, Li Guangzu forcefully pushed the wife to the ground. The wife was already pregnant, and because she couldn't stand steadily, the back of her head coincidentally hit a very sharp corner of the table. Hence, a life was lost.
Li Guangzu's escape was the thing that caused the greatest harm to the army. On the way, Lieutenant Qi Rui also arrived at the farm where Li Guangzu committed the crime. This was the information he received. When Li Guangzu saw his brother, he immediately scolded his brother. Other than scolding his brother for being reckless and marrying without permission, he also asked the farm head to send his brother back to Hebei.
It must be said that Li Guangzu's words were not unreasonable to the ordinary farm staff. Even the farm head couldn't immediately find an argument that could overwhelm Li Guangzu's position. The farm head could only say, "This is the arrangement of the Immigration Bureau. This isn't something that can be decided by you or me."
Tragedy happened at this time. When Li Guangzu saw that he was completely "in the right", he didn't want to let it go. Other than scolding the farm head for harboring bad people, he also wanted to forcefully take his brother away. His brother's wife hid at the side and didn't say anything at first, but when she saw that Li Guangzu had gone too far, she couldn't help but come up and say a few words.
