Chapter 59 The Roman Version of Private Ryan

The story of saving Private Ryan is that the four brothers of Ryan joined the army and were fortunate to participate in the Allied landing in Normandy. But the tragic thing is that in addition to the youngest Private James Ryan, the whereabouts of the four brothers affiliated to the 101st Airborne Division, the three sons of Ryan's family died in France in a short time. After learning about this, General Marshall, the chief of staff of the US Army, ordered the front line to organize an eight-man team through the rain of bullets and the enemy's heavy blockade, and found Private James Ryan, who was uncertain of life and death, and sent him back to the rear safely.

In addition to showing a spectacular and grand war scene, the battle of Normandy was flying everywhere, this story also witnessed the fierceness and cruelty of the war, and discussed the humanitarian spirit, whether it was worth it to exchange eight people for one person.

It is a very high-rated movie, provided that if people deliberately ignore the cruelty and hypocritical behavior of the Mid-Imperialism, if they really have the humanitarianism they claim to be, where will their humanitarian spirit go when they are recruiting? Why should they conscript four and leave an old lady at home?

The fact is that the extremely cruel and evil Mi imperialism did not conduct nationwide recruitment based on objective facts and violated the scientific perspective. It cruelly conscripted all four brothers of Ryan and his family at once. It was not until three of the four brothers were killed and one disappeared, and it was not until three of them were killed and one disappeared that it pretended to find the missing soldiers. The consequence of this was to waste the troops of the precious eight people on the front line, lose Captain Miller, a plastic general, and sacrifice a genius shooter like Christian striker.

However, if you think about the humanitarian spirit in this way, it can become a weapon that will make soldiers fight to the death. The Seofano family peace talks will not reduce Alexander's prestige.

Thirty years ago when the fierce battle with the Muslim Mahdi was in full swing, the eastern battlefield of the Empire was in full swing. At this time, the grandfather of the current emperor Alexander I took over the military power, and the empire's army was gradually changing its decline in the eastern battlefield and carrying out regaining operations in the Anatolian region. Although the progress met the expectations of the empire, these achievements were exchanged for the flesh and blood of the imperial soldiers.

After a battle, when the post office of the Imperial United Front Work Department was distributing letters to the families of soldiers who died in battle, an employee working in the post office unexpectedly discovered that the surnames of six soldiers were the same. The postman who discovered this abnormality hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind to report the news.

The official who received this news was an official of the old royal family. He immediately scolded the postman who reported this kind of thing and called it a boring little thing. As soon as this was the case, the matter was suppressed. Fortunately, there was a member of our Seofano family next to the official. After hearing this, he was furious and slapped the official directly. Then he reported the information of the six soldiers with the same surname to me and Alexander's grandfather.

After investigation, the six people were father, son, brother, uncle and nephew. In other words, all males from ordinary families in a village died in battle for the Empire. A key member of the Seofano family, who expressed deep regret for this, appeared in front of the families of the six fallen soldiers.

However, the whole thing didn't end there.

During the visit, the important official discovered that there was a man in the family who also joined the army, namely Leo.

The members of Theofano who learned about this news immediately met Alexander's grandfather and me, and begged the other party to order the soldiers like this from the vast crowd!

Things never went so smoothly, and at this time another great nobleman came out to mock our Seofano's stupidity and used this to imply that if Alexander's grandfather and I agreed to such a plea, there would be something wrong with our heads.

However, unlike the great nobleman who did not regard the lives of soldiers as his life, after hearing the news, my grandfather decided to send a special team to rescue the only remaining male in the family from the war zone.

The task of saving Leo fell on a grassroots officer who had just ended the battle from the front and was well-known. At the same time, in order to pay attention to this task, the Seofano family also sent an officer to the Seofano family's side department member.

The two hurriedly selected ten more outstanding soldiers around them, and then based on the news at hand, they embarked on a journey to find a soldier named Leo in the vast and unknown vast area.

The situation at that time was that the Empire was fighting guerrilla warfare, positional warfare and defensive warfare with Muslims to offset the excessive advantages of pagan cavalry. However, the strength of the Muslims was still alive at that time, so as soon as the soldiers of the small team left the enemy area of ​​the large army, various difficulties and dangers came one after another. Fortunately, they were familiar with the terrain and were fully prepared for equipment, so they still survived a lot of difficulties, but as time passed, casualties began to appear.

Faced with the comrades around him falling down one after another, these soldiers who were unfortunately drawn gradually began to doubt the rationality of this task: Why do we have to let more than a dozen soldiers, a promising officer and a lieutenant risk their lives to save a soldier?

However, despite their doubts, they are worthy of being the most loyal soldiers of the empire and resolutely implementing the orders of their superiors. Then, the road to salvation is like a path full of contradictions and self-salvation. After experiencing thousands of difficulties, they found this Leo in a fortress that was fighting fiercely. Like the original work, Leo, who has a strong sense of will and responsibility, was not willing to leave the battlefield with the rescue team that came to solve his problem. Then there was a battle of life and death. Except for Leo, the others were basically killed in battle.

But what is different from the original plot of the movie in my memory is that I turned the comrades emphasized in the original movie into a script that sacrifices the ego to complete the ego, and praises our Seofano family and arouses the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Of course, those words that motivate the soldiers naturally cannot be said from my mouth. I just used the little character Leo to sublimate the entire script into a tool to hypnotize soldiers and inspire their fighting spirit in the final plot.

"I didn't expect that the fat man's postal department had such a connection! Really, in your grandfather's era, such a great department had fallen to such a lifeless department that everyone just wanted to make a living in it! The fat man was really a failure!" After reading the script, even though I had long known that there was artistic sublimation, Pennivis was still angry that the postal bureau became increasingly corrupt under the Fat Marcus.

"Do you know how the Postal Service's idea of ​​sending death letters to civilians?" I've loved to look at the innocent Pennyvis and feel the dark side of the world lately.

"I don't know. But I know, is the origin of the Post Office very extraordinary?"

"That's natural." Looking at Pennyvis' excited look, I added, "This is a weapon for our Seofano family to destroy the reputation of the old royal family."

"ah?"

"Think about it, in the early and mid-term wars with the pagans, we died at least 300,000 to 400,000 people. If these letters of death were sent to their families at once, would they become resentful to the old royal family?"

"You are so despicable!" Pennivis said in a daze, "Don't tell me that your script is fake now!"

"Of course it's true! It's adapted from a real story!" I was very confident, "but I made up the story that happened to me into the story of my grandfather's time."

"You are so bad! Your Seofano family is indeed all bad guys!" Pennivis was so angry that she didn't hit her. She walked around and finally grabbed a pillow on the bed and threw it over to me. It seemed that a pillow could not vent her anger. She shouted, "I wouldn't have helped you write a book if I had known it! I was so moved that I cried several times! I ignored you today! Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you are not allowed to touch me!"

Pennyvis was angry, but it was nothing, as long as I finished the book and saved it.

But, after a few days, just when I thought I could calm down, I had a new task.

Because of a piece of news, I decided to write a song for Felletlia, which was called "The Flying of Valkyrie". (To be continued...)
