Chapter 3728: Endure
Editor: Henyee Translations
It was indeed a piece of black plastic. The American general smiled and said, “No need. It’s just a piece of plastic.” He raised his hand and looked at the time. He said, “It’s getting late. Since the matter has been settled, it’s time for us to leave. I hope you have a good dream tonight and continue to show us better results tomorrow.”
Li Jinnian, who had a smile on his face, shook hands with the three generals politely. He sent the three of them to the car before returning to the Chinese students.
The Chinese students who had fought for their dignity could finally rest. During the outdoor meal, some students from other countries came over to ask what had happened. The j.a.panese students who came back earlier than the Chinese students immediately p.r.i.c.ked up their ears as they eavesdropped. They wanted to know whether the Chinese students would say bad things about them.
The compet.i.tion tomorrow was a ‘coordinate’ compet.i.tion. Hence, they would sleep outdoors tonight. The tents of the students from various countries were built next to each other. As the areas had already been divided, the tents of the students from China and j.a.pan were very close. The students from the two countries could sense each other’s movements. At this moment, the foreign soldiers were asking the students from China about what happened earlier in the day. The students from j.a.pan, who were closest to them, eavesdropped and even moved a few steps towards China.
In the end, the Chinese students didn’t say anything. Instead, they talked to the foreign soldiers about the parts of the compet.i.tion that weren’t easy to complete today. They successfully changed the topic.
The j.a.panese students eavesdropped for a while and realized that the Chinese didn’t say anything bad about them. Then, they returned to their tents.
Michiko Matsuyama glanced coldly at the three students who were eavesdropping on the Chinese students. Her expression was very dark. “The instructor told us that even if we’re standing in front of an enemy we hate, we must be very calm. We must not let ourselves make mistakes first. You shouldn’t eavesdrop on what the Chinese students are saying.
“You should learn from our instructor. He was able to endure his anger and walk over to face the Chinese instructor. If our instructor can do it, we can do it too.
“We have to be tolerant. We can’t have conflicts with China again.”
Why did Hirano Ling suddenly walk over and look at Li Jinnian before leaving? It was to tell his students that if he could tolerate it, the students had to too.
At this moment, Ye Jian and Li Jinnian were sitting on a small hill not far away from the campsite and chatting. The night was beautiful. The clear night sky was filled with stars. The faint starlight enveloped the surroundings. It was so quiet that it was enjoyable to just sit there.
The cousins started the conversation by talking about the att.i.tudes of the students from South Korea and j.a.pan toward China. Li Jinnian talked about many things about China’s failures overseas in the 1980s and 1990s.
It was said that a general went to the United States to observe the aircraft carrier. For the sake of confidentiality, the United States only allowed the general to watch a small portion of it. The distance was far, and the general wanted to see more and learn more. But there was nothing he could do. At that time, the Chinese general endured many grievances overseas because China still had to be humble and could not be domineering.
However, it was already the 21st century. China had already started to become stronger. There was no need to endure some grievances.
“I’m very happy to see your performance today. I can see the strength that a soldier of our country should have in the 21st century in you. We should always retaliate when someone disrespects our country. You handled it very well. After I return to the country, I’ll write it in the report and let our country know the growth of your generation of soldiers.”
