Chapter 23: Tears of Lushun

Chapter 23: Tears of Lushun In September 1904, Qingdao, the German Governor General's Office. Your Highness, according to the information we have received so far, the Japanese fleet has blocked Port Arthur, and the Japanese army is currently adjusting its forces to launch a third attack on the Russian army's Port Arthur fortress. However, due to the strong construction of the Port Arthur fortress, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in the first two attacks. General Pascal, the new governor of Germany stationed in Qingdao, was introducing the progress of the Russo Japanese War to Chen Tian in front of the map. Hmm! That's right! "Chen Tian silently stared at the map. According to history, Russia can only hold on for a few more months at most. At that time, the fleets of Lushun, Dalian, the Russian Pacific Fleet, and the Russian European Eastern Expedition I want to go and have a look in Lushun! "After a while, Chen Tian looked up at everyone. Your Highness, this is too dangerous! "General Pascal didn't want any problems for the prince with him. Besides, our relationship with Germany, Russia, and Japan is not very good. If anything happens then Don't worry! It won't be a problem! I really want to go and see this brutal war! "Regarding the use of various weapons and tactics in the Russo Japanese War, Chen Tian used to only read a few descriptions in books, and sometimes the books may be far from the actual situation. Okay! Since you've made up your mind! I'll send a team of soldiers to protect you, but please don't get too close to the battlefield, "General Pascal nodded." Also, I'll notify Berlin and ask them to inform the Japanese ambassador Thank you, General! "Chen Tian said and walked outside, when someone ran in and bumped into him. Dad! I just... ouch Chen Tian lowered his head and saw that it was actually a girl. No wonder he had nothing to do with her while she fell to the ground. Miss, I'm sorry! "Chen Tian reached out to help her up, but the girl sat there watching him, her face seeming to have been seen somewhere before Cousin elder male cousin? This voice seems to have been heard before I'm Lisa! We met in Vienna Oh... it's you! "Chen Tian suddenly realized, but he hadn't really paid attention to what his cousin looked like that day. Chen Tian helped her up, wow! What a beautiful little girl! The slender beauty in front of me is simply a blonde version of Audrey Hepburn! Looking at Chen Tian's silly expression, Lisa burst into laughter, and Chen Tian awkwardly withdrew his gaze. Uh... why are you here He's my dad! "Lisa walked up to the poor governor and held his hand, saying. Dad You must not be disrespectful to His Royal Highness the Prince! "Pascal smiled at Chen Tian. Hehe! Your Excellency, it's okay! We are already relatives! "Chen Tian also laughed. Lisa's father probably didn't dare to tell him about this relationship because he was only a distant relative of the royal family and had never seen him before. After graduating from the University of Vienna last year, she came here to teach music at the German school in our concession! "The governor laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed. Lisa, take Your Highness the Prince around and have a look Accompanied by Lisa, Chen Tian and the others circled around the concession in Qingdao. This place is indeed very Europeanized, with streets, buildings, and hospitals all in European style. This is our school! "Lisa pointed to a large house by the roadside." The students inside are all German children from Qingdao, and I am responsible for music for all grades Mmm! Not bad, not bad! You've worked hard! "Chen Tian nodded, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart: it's a pity that Chinese children are not accepted here. They need to receive good education just like German children. When I have enough power, I will definitely return the land and building facilities here to the Chinese people in good condition. After crossing the road, it was already dinner time. The governor prepared a sumptuous dinner for Chen Tian and his delegation, welcoming the arrival of this prince. At night, Chen Tian was tidying up his belongings in his room. They plan to depart the next day, including Chen Tian, Ollie, and five other German soldiers. They will take a train from Qingdao to Tianjin, then travel from there to Dalian, and get as close as possible to the battlefield in Lushun. Cluck Midnight ghost knocking on the door? Returning to the land of China, Chen Tian began to reminisce about the ghost stories we used to tell when we played together, but unfortunately he would never see his old friends again. Chen Tian opened the door. It's Lisa! Is there anything else so late? "Chen Tian turned over and said," Please come in Are you leaving for Lushun tomorrow? There's a war going on there Yeah! As soldiers, we need to pay attention to every war in the world, especially when we cannot avoid it! "Chen Tian turned around and continued to pack his bags. It's very dangerous there! "Lisa stood quietly aside," Can you take me with you You? "Chen Tian stopped and looked at her. Do you want to drink water? "Chen Tian said, pouring her a glass of water. Thank you! "Lisa took the water cup, but didn't drink it. I learned first aid in college and even interned at a hospital for a period of time Oh! Is that so? Hehe! But we're here to observe, not to fight! "Chen Tian shook his head. But in case someone gets injured It can't be unexpected. Besides, if that's the case, we also learned first aid and self rescue in school, "Chen Tian escorted him to the door." Get some rest early! We'll be back in a while Lisa had no choice but to leave dejectedly. The next day, on the train, Chen Tian and Ollie looked helplessly at Lisa wearing a large German army uniform, with a wry smile on their faces. Lisa Don't send me back, I have already left a letter with my dad to tell him, and the school has already taken a leave But what's so good about fighting I'm not going to watch the war, I'm... "Lisa hesitated. Chen Tian knows very well in his heart, but he still can't tolerate another person in his heart. Okay, but you have to follow my command and not run around Mmm When Chen Tian and his delegation arrived in Shenyang, the Japanese military had already received notification from Tokyo to receive them for observation. However, they were not allowed to go to the front line and could only watch from a distance across a few hills, or more precisely, listen to the rumbling sound of artillery ahead. Chen Tian was very dissatisfied with this, but was closely watched by the accompanying Japanese soldiers. Chen Tian could only helplessly watch as Japanese soldiers were deployed to the front, and then a constant stream of wounded soldiers were carried back. Ba Ge Ya Lu! "A Japanese officer saw the continuous casualties on his side and was so angry that he jumped up and down. He pointed to another side and whispered something to the nearby officer, then followed him in that direction with a group of soldiers. What do they want to do? "Chen Tian asked Ollie in confusion," That direction is not the front line Yeah! That's almost at a right angle to the battlefield! "Ollie shook his head. It's broken! Could it be that? Chen Tian noticed another Japanese officer's sly smile on his face. Chen Tian raised his telescope and watched their distant backs. Even further away was a Chinese village. These beasts! Let's hurry over! "Chen Tian ran towards that direction with Ollie and several other German soldiers. The remaining Japanese officers were stunned for a moment, then one started making a phone call, and the others followed suit. Huh... "Chen Tian ran forward at a speed of 100 meters, saving dozens of Chinese lives in just one minute. A burst of gunshots could be heard from the nearby village, followed by the cries of women and children. Animal! "Chen Tian was angry! When defeated on the battlefield, why take revenge on civilians, and not civilians from a third country! Such an army is inferior to pigs and dogs! Behind Chentian, Ollie and five other German soldiers also followed desperately, with Lisa in the distance. Five hundred meters... two hundred meters Chen Tian finally rushed into the village, and what appeared in front of him was a human tragedy - bloody Chinese people everywhere, elderly people, children, and a few Japanese soldiers were committing violence against women in the corner! Get lost! "Chen Tian grabbed the back of a Japanese soldier and slammed heavily to the side. Ba Ga! "Several other Japanese soldiers raised their guns and aimed at him, because they had just seen Chen Tian standing with the Japanese officer and they had not fired. Bastards! How could you bully these civilians? "Chen Tian became anxious, his German mixed with Chinese. The Japanese soldiers couldn't understand what he was saying, only a few Chinese civilians looked up at him eagerly. Chen Tian stared at the Japanese soldiers across from him with blood red eyes, wishing to tear them apart. They stood in a standoff like this. Half a minute later, Ollie and several other German soldiers rushed in, bewildered by the gruesome scene on the ground. A minute later, Lisa ran in and couldn't help but scream at the scene in front of her, then began to vomit to the side. Finally, several other Japanese officers also ran in and said a few words to the officer leading the group of Japanese soldiers. Then he left with the Japanese soldiers in a huff. Mr. Observer, they are here to catch Russian spies! "The Japanese officer next to them asked the translator to explain to Chen Tian. No explanation! These beasts have always been like this, from the Lushun Massacre to the Nanjing Massacre, they are all their masterpieces. Hurry up, let's rescue these injured people! "Lisa said on the side. Yes! Let's take action quickly! "Chen Tian finally snapped out of his senses, and the top priority now was to rescue these injured people. You guys, even if you hurt the people here, will you just leave like this? You need to send doctors here, as well as medicine and medical equipment! "Chen Tian said to the Japanese officer. Mr. Observer, we probably have no choice about this! We are also in great need of doctors and medicine now! As you can see, our casualties are also significant! "The translator conveyed the original words of the Japanese officer to Chen Tian. Get lost! "Chen Tian pushed the translator to the ground, while the Japanese officer stood aside and coldly watched them. Come on, let the injured lie flat! First, tie their wounds with cloth! "Lisa commanded everyone to help the injured bandage. Chen Tianzhen is grateful that she brought her here. It seems that she did a good job during her internship at the hospital. Alright, cousin! Don't just stand there foolishly, help me find some needles and threads. Some of the injured have large wounds and must be stitched immediately Okay! "Chen Tian quickly went inside the house to look for something to do needlework, but it took him a while to find something. The needle was okay, can this thread for shoe soles work? Chen Tian had no choice but to give the needle and thread he could find to Lisa. Lisa shook her head and said, "Go find if there are any more threads!" "Ollie, start the fire and boil some water Auntie, don't be afraid! We are here to help you, we are good people! Do you have silk thread or silk fabric here Chen Tian squatted in front of a woman sitting in the corner and asked. The woman looked at Chen Tian in surprise for a long time before shaking her head. Ah! They are all poor ordinary people, where did the silk come from! Chen Tian returned to Lisa's place, and she had already picked some needles and knives and thrown them into the pot set up by Ollie to start cooking. Is there none Chen Tian shook his head. Lisa bit her teeth, put down her long hair that was coiled up, and hung it all the way to her waist. Then she picked up a pair of scissors and clicked Chen Tian stared blankly at Lisa. He remembered in a promotional video for a game called Final Fantasy when she was still in that world, the female protagonist cut off her long hair for the sake of battle, leaving only short hair that reached her neck, just like Lisa now. Chen Tian's nose was sour, and a hot tear slid out of his eye socket, across his face, slowly becoming cold and dripping
