Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

"Second brother, don't always go to the countryside. From your tone, you look down on rural people," Zhou Xiaobai said.

"Well, our father also came from the countryside. We can't forget our roots, right, Dad?"

Before Zhou Zhennan could speak, Zhou Huaihai got anxious first. Fearing being scolded by his father, he quickly defended himself:

"When did I say I looked down on people from the countryside? I was just speaking the truth. Little sister, why do you always argue with your second brother?"

Zhou Xiaobai snorted lightly, thinking to himself, who told you to talk about Yuemin? If you talk about him, I will talk about you.

"alright, alright!"

Chen Yijun tried to persuade the brother and sister, saying that her precious daughter's soul had been seduced away by Yuemin.

"Let's eat and talk about other things instead of these things."

I put some food in the bowls of my daughter and second son.

Zhou Huaihai said to his elder brother:

"Brother, I heard that things have been very uneasy on the border lately. Are those Russians on the other side trying to make a move again?"

Zhou Huaibin's face darkened and he nodded slightly.

"Just before I left, the Russian border guards invaded Zhenbao Island again, setting up an ambush. Two of our villagers went to the island to do production work, and they were beaten to death on the spot. One of the women was also raped."

"Hold!"

Zhou Huaihai slammed the table and shouted angrily:

"These damn Russians are simply going too far. Brother, why didn't the top leaders of the Shenyang Military Region react at all? If I were a leader, I would have sent troops to kill them. Damn those Russians! They dared to kill my brothers and sisters. I will make them pay with blood."

"It's not as simple as you say!"

Zhou Huaibin said:

"Look at the current situation. China and the Russians share a long border, stretching from Shenyang, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia... to the vast expanse of Xinjiang. Both sides have deployed millions of troops. Even if the tree wishes to be still, the wind will not stop. A single move can move the entire body. The Russians are just waiting for you to fire the first shot, which is why they're constantly provoking you. These bastards are cunning too. They don't dare to attack the border patrol directly, so they target the border villagers. Their goal is to force our border guards to fire the first shot, so that these bastards can 'legitimately' attack."

Zhou Huaihai said:

"Brother, do you think this war can be fought?"

Zhou Huaibin shook his head.

"No one can predict for sure right now. The current situation between the two countries is tense, with war looming. It's like a volcano on the verge of erupting. The slightest disturbance could trigger it. If it does erupt, it will be earth-shattering, and a full-scale war between the two sides is probably inevitable."

"Just fight, no matter who you are afraid of!"

"Huaihai, you are a company commander now. Don't just rely on passion. You need to use your brain more," Zhou Huaibin said.

"It's been less than 20 years since China was founded in 1949. During this time, we've experienced the Korean War and famine... I don't need to explain the current situation. We're plagued by internal and external troubles. What we desperately need is stability. The Russians may be hateful, but they're not a tiny country like South Korea. On the contrary, they're one of the two major hegemons in the world. While my country can compete with them in terms of military strength, we're far behind in other heavy weaponry like tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, and various short- and long-range missiles."

Zhou Huaihai was unconvinced and said:

"So what? Back in the Korean War, we didn't have tanks to lead the way, and we didn't have aircraft to cover us. But our volunteer army still beat the 17-nation coalition led by the US imperialists. With millet and rifles, we were still able to deal with the bastards."

"Huai Hai, you are right. When it comes to war, our country is not afraid of anyone."

Zhou Huaibin said:

"But you also have to think about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in the Korean War, and how much money, manpower, and material resources were wasted. War kills people, and our country is not well-off to begin with, so we really can't afford to waste time on it. I think the higher-ups must have considered this as well, so they're trying their best to exercise restraint. Dad, am I right?"

Zhou Zhennan nodded slightly.

Zhou Huaihai said:

"You can't stand this kind of humiliation. Others are stepping on your head and pooping on you, and you can't say a word? They will think you are a coward and will become even more aggressive."

"Don't be impatient. Everything has its limits. Even a rabbit bites when it's anxious. What's more, we are Chinese people."

Zhou Huaibin said:

"Before I came here, I received news that the top brass of the Shenyang Military Region had issued an order to send more troops to Zhenbao Island. If anything goes wrong, they can immediately reinforce and join the battle. I have to go there after the third day of the Lunar New Year."

"Huaibin, are you going to the front line too?"

Chen Yijun immediately became anxious when he heard this.

"You finally came back, why are you leaving on the third day of junior high? And to such a dangerous place, Zhennan, you've never been to the Shenyang Military Region before, so you must know someone there. Why don't you tell them to transfer Huaibin back?"

"What are you talking about!"

Zhou Zhennan said angrily:

"What is Huaibin wearing? A military uniform. From the moment he put it on, he became a citizen of the country. This life belongs to the country, so he must always be prepared to fight for the country and sacrifice for the country. Do you think this is a joke?

If everyone were like you, only seeking pleasure in peacetime and fleeing when war breaks out, how could our army still fight? How could we still defend our country?

Huaibin, Huaihai, listen up, you two, if you dare to desert me, I, Zhou Zhennan, will never have a son as useless as you."

The two of them looked serious, and Zhou Huaibin said:

"Dad, there are absolutely no cowardly deserters in our Zhou family. We only have martyrs who died gloriously."

"Dad, me too!"

"That's good!"

Chen Yijun opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Zhou Zhennan suddenly looked at his 'son-in-law' who was silently eating and said:

"Yuemin, do you think we'll have a war with the Russians?"

"Dad, you really know how to ask people questions. He's a big troublemaker in the compound. I'm afraid he's never even touched a gun, let alone served in the army. Asking him about this is like firing a shot at a cow..."

Seeing his father glaring at him, Zhou Huaihai finally shut up.

Zhong Yuemin put down his chopsticks and spoke briefly.

"Uncle Zhou, there will be local conflicts, but the probability of a full-scale war is almost zero."

"Oh," I was curious to see someone say it so confidently, "Tell me what you think."

Zhong Yuemin pretends to be bigger,

"As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Just now, Big Brother talked about the current situation of our country. It is indeed not optimistic. But on the contrary, although the Russians appear to be strong in military and horses, their current situation is also not good. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are facing internal and external troubles.

The biggest mistake the Russians made this year was to raid Czechoslovakia on a summer night and occupy Prague. Although the Czech Republic was not a member state of the Russians, it was an ally in World War II. After the end of World War II, the entire country's system was copied from the Russians, with a high degree of consistency in economy, politics, and ideology. Just because of a small economic reform of your own, you directly sent troops to occupy the human capital. This is too overbearing.

The Czech Republic is a sovereign state, but just because it didn't listen to you Russians, it attacked and occupied whenever you said it would, and acted as if it was the only one in the world, it was a terrible move. It has been completely isolated from the international situation. I'm not only talking about the originally hostile Western countries, but also many social countries, including our China.

What are those Russian allies thinking? I'm afraid they're trembling with fear. Even if they don't say it, they're certainly unhappy and estranged. It's just like the saying goes, often it's not the powerful enemy that defeats you, but your own internal strife, suspicion, slander, and distrust, which then lead to disintegration and collapse.
