Chapter 1226 A Truth in History

For the first time, Geng Weilan discovered that the ability to see deeper, finer, and smaller that he had always longed for was not necessarily a good thing from a certain point of view.

From Li Mu's body, she realized that the deeper she looked, the greater the investment and the deeper the substitution.

Wei Lan is not a virgin. She followed her father in the shopping mall very early, and she witnessed the whole process of the family's downfall and experienced all kinds of despair and ugly faces. Without fraternity, she now only wants her relatives to live well, the people she loves to live well, and everything else has nothing to do with her.

However, Li Mu is precisely a person of fraternity.

Wei Lan hugged Li Mu and said in his ear: "Don't put unnecessary burdens on yourself, don't forget that you came here today to promote your movie, to let the world know about the history of China and let the world know Huaxia's sacrifices and contributions to the world, and changing the world's prejudice against Huaxia, focus on doing these well first, and don't think about the rest first, or wait until the future."

Li Mu gently hugged Wei Lan's waist and shook his head slightly.

She is different from Wei Lan. Wei Lan has not seen anything related to "Veterans Don't Die" on Weibo. She thinks that the images of veterans lingering in front of her eyes are all psychological burdens she imposes on herself. This kind of speculation, but only he knows in his heart that the faces are all very real, and the owners of those faces are struggling in every corner of the country at the moment. In the next five to eight years, if he does not Do something, and the whole society will probably not do something for them.

We can't wait for the "Veterans Don't Die" public welfare project to start naturally. During this process, I don't know how many veterans will leave this world forever.

Wei Lan felt Li Mu shaking his head, sighed softly, hugged Li Mu tighter, and whispered, "If you want to do something, just let it go, as long as it's your decision, I will always do it. I will support you without hesitation.”

...

Under the flickering of countless spotlights, Li Mu stepped onto the stage where the background was all wrapped in dark red silk.

Li Mu is the proud son of this era, and the young man who receives the most attention in this era. The attention given to him by the whole world is converging at this moment into a flash of lights and a continuous shutter sound.

At this moment, Li Mu was suddenly in a trance. The crisp shutter sound of the SLR camera gathered together, and it came to his ears, like the continuous and continuous gunfire on the battlefield. It is a symphony of war played by Maxim, Czech machine guns and non-automatic rifles. What emerges in front of us are all the splendid pictures on the battlefield.

Li Mu stood motionless on the stage for a minute. Except for Wei Lan, no one realized his strangeness. Everyone seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and slapped Li Mu wildly.

After more than a minute, Li Mu came back to his senses, adjusted his mind and state, stepped onto the podium, and said in his standard American English: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the cooperation between Makino Imaging and DreamWorks. At the press conference of the new film, on behalf of Makino Technology, DreamWorks and all the main creators of this film, I would like to thank all my friends for coming."

The brief opening remarks aroused thunderous applause, and the whole world was a little impatient, wondering what kind of movie a movie with such a big budget and even Li Mu attached so much importance to.

At this time, Li Mu continued: "Before announcing the relevant details of this film, I would like to tell you a story, a story that most of the people here, including most people in front of the TV, may not have heard of it. "

"In July 1937, a former US military flight instructor, at the invitation of the Huaxia government, came to Huaxia to serve as a consultant to the Huaxia Air Force. At that time, the Huaxia Air Force was extremely weak. The air force's advanced training, combat and tactical plans were brought to the Huaxia Air Force, and during this period, the Huaxia War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out."

"Most of you are Europeans and Americans. Your understanding of World War II may be more in the European battlefield, but you don't know much about the Asian battlefield. To put it simply, the Asian battlefield of World War II was almost in China. At that time, Japan invaded China. In the following eight years, Japan has brought huge damage to the Chinese people as high as 35 million casualties and 600 billion US dollars in economic losses."

The figure of 35 million people and 600 billion US dollars suddenly caused a neat exclamation from the audience. Most of the people here did not know much about the Asian part of World War II. They did not know at all that Huaxia was actually in the In World War II, so many casualties and losses were paid.

In the stunned surprise of everyone, Li Mu continued: "During World War II, in the Asian battlefield, the scale and cruelty of the war were no less than that of the European battlefield. The cost of casualties, tenaciously resisted the Japanese invaders' iron hoofs to conquer Asia, and also blocked the sinister intention of the Japanese army to use Asia as a springboard to join forces with the German-Italian Axis to poison the world, and made a huge contribution to world peace. contribution."

"As we all know, YY once pushed a push some time ago. In that push, we listed the inhumane war crimes committed by some Japanese invaders in China. In terms of casualties, that push was just a drop in the bucket of the countless ordeals that China suffered during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The Japanese army created countless sensational massacres in China. Because these histories are too cruel, I will not describe them here today."

As soon as Li Mu said this, many people in the audience suddenly realized it!

I remembered!

Some time ago, when "The Last Samurai" was boycotted by people all over the world, a lot of content listing Japanese fascist atrocities appeared on the Internet. The most of them were the crimes committed by Japan against the Chinese people. Those sensational atrocities are simply Even more dehumanizing than the Nazis.

What everyone saw at that time were mostly photos of the atrocities of the Japanese invaders against the Chinese people, so there was no macro introduction. Today, I heard Li Mu talk about the data of 35 million casualties. As soon as those contents are combined, you will instantly understand how heavy the history behind this number is!

Seeing that everyone's expressions became extraordinarily serious, Li Mu paused for a while, and then said: "Today, we are revisiting history, not to condemn the aggression, nor to open up the scars to gain sympathy, but to let the world understand and remember history, Never forget the real history, and at the same time avoid being deceived by the behavior of some people with intentions to tamper with and beautify history. The greatest trampling on peace!"

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the applause was deafening.

The previous boycott against "The Last Samurai" has long cultivated a large number of boycotts and protests against Japanese Bushido and Japanese fascist invaders all over the world, so Li Mu's remarks have extremely powerful masses Basically, except for the Japanese reporters, almost all the media reporters tried their best to applaud his remarks. Thirty-five million casualties were made by the Chinese nation for their own nation, and even for the whole world. In front of this huge number, no kind of respect can be overstated.

The applause from the audience lasted for a long time. After a long time, Li Mucai signaled everyone to be quiet for a while, and continued: "It's still the former US military flight instructor. When Japan started its all-out war of aggression against China, he witnessed the Chinese army in front of the Japanese army. Vulnerable and witnessed various atrocities of the Japanese invaders against the Chinese people, the former American flight instructor accepted the invitation of the Huaxia government and decided to set up an aviation school in the southwest of Huaxia to help train the Huaxia Air Force. For several years, under the pressure of the Japanese government, he trained a large number of pilots for the Huaxia army, giving Huaxia the power to defend the airspace."

"After 1941, the former U.S. military flight instructor returned to his hometown of the United States and recruited a large number of support pilots. Subsequently, these pilots, as volunteers, formed an air force called the 'American Support Air Force'. Together with the Huaxia Air Force, collectively known as the Flying Tigers by the Chinese people at the time, this former American pilot was named Claire Lee Chennault."

"The Chinese people are a nation with a grateful heart forever. The Flying Tigers took off countless times in China to fight the air force of the Japanese invaders. They did their best to defend the airspace of China, the people of China, and even Yunnan. The Burmese Highway and the famous Hump Route during World War II, and the Flying Tigers also paid a huge price of casualties, all of which are for the defense of China.”

"It's hard to imagine that a group of foreign pilots risked their lives and traveled to a foreign country thousands of miles away to resist the invaders. For us, they are not only fighting for the Chinese people, but also for the noble and great. Fighting with aspirations and beliefs, the Chinese people will never forget this history, and will always keep this history in their hearts, thanks to these American pilots for their efforts and efforts to resist the aggression of the Chinese nation 60 years ago. sacrifice."

The thunderous applause sounded again. Many people heard about this history for the first time. These people did not expect that in that era, there would be a group of Americans who went to China and flew fighter planes over China to fight for the war. Huaxia resists foreign invaders. No matter what the purpose is, this kind of behavior does not prevent it from being labeled as "noble".

At this time, Li Mu added: "Hollywood has made many, many World War II movies, including American soldiers' wars in Germany, France, Africa, and even wars in Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and the Japanese islands. It is a pity that Hollywood has never filmed this war in which the Americans participated, so this time, as a Chinese who is loyal to the real history, I am honored that we can work with DreamWorks to jointly launch this film that restores the United States back then. Volunteer pilots and Huaxia pilots jointly resist the Japanese invaders in this real historical film, the only hope is that through this film, a truth in history will be revealed!"

Speaking of this, Li Mu took a deep breath and said solemnly, "And the name of our new movie is "Flying Tigers"!"
