Open Traveler: Culture Invasion Parallel Blue Star

Chapter 182 Katyusha and the soldier with a shovel!
——Poetry lovers in the flames of war (subtitle)
"Just when pear blossoms are blooming all over the world,

There is a soft veil floating on the river!
Katyusha stood on the steep bank,
The singing is like the bright spring scenery. "

When Mao Xiongguo's singing started, the audience was stunned.

Because this song is not beautiful.

Even a little rough.

There is no accompaniment, only the vast white snow and loud singing.

In the video, the camera moves.

Behind the bell tower, a strong young man with a smile was chopping firewood.

To be precise, hacking the piano.

Seeing this scene, the music-loving audience all frowned.

Burning pianos and boiling cranes is too insulting to gentlemen.

But what was even weirder was that everyone around the young man frowned, and even looked ugly.

Many men are chopping wood in this square.

All kinds of wood.

There are oak barrels, pianos, windows, and pillars.

Next to it, women and old women lined up to collect firewood.

The young man sang loudly, but the people around him did not respond.

The young man shouted: "Don't you all know how to sing this song? Sing it all!"

The young man next to him: "Come on, my officer Petrov, how can I sing now."

Lens pulled up.

In every square in the snow-covered city, there are a large number of young people chopping all kinds of wood.

In the ice and snow, old women and girls lined up to receive wood.

The camera zooms back to this square.

A young man in military uniform rushed over: "Piano, whose piano is this?"

A child raised his hand: "My family!"

"Fortunately, your piano is temporarily saved. A house on the next street collapsed. There is enough wood for today."

The little boy laughed happily: "That's great."

Behind, a woman slapped the little boy on the back of the head, almost knocking him over.

The little boy turned around scratching his head.

The woman was very serious: "Uncle Polginsky's house was bombed by the enemy, are you so happy?"

The little boy bit his lip.

Petrov, the young man who sang loudly at the beginning, stepped forward: "Children, you are not sensible, don't worry about it."

At last it was the turn of a young and pretty girl in the line.

The girl carries the basket.

Petrov put firewood in it, and laughed: "Katyusha!"

"The girl sang sweet songs,
She sings of the eagles of the steppe;
She sings of her beloved,
Katyusha love belongs to him forever.

O the song of the singing girl,
Fly with the bright sun! "

The girl named Katyusha frowned: "Mr. Petrov, this is the time, do you still want to make such a joke?"

Petrov's hands stopped, and then he smiled and said, "I still remember that we had an agreement that every time I see you, I will sing "Katyusha" with a smile on my face."

Katyusha took a deep breath and handed over the basket.

Petrov said softly, "Remember, only after midnight, when you see that it's two o'clock, do you light firewood."

"Otherwise, this bit of firewood won't last until the coldest time."

"Don't freeze."

Katyusha nodded.

Petrov: "Okay, go home quickly, it's cold outside."

It's cold outside, and it's cold at home.

The camera follows Katyusha back home.

In Katyusha's house, there are almost no wooden products.

Even most of the floor was pried out, leaving only a few places with the floor.

Like under the dining table.

But the dining table is not made of wood, but piled up of stones like ruins.

Although there was a piece of red and white checked cloth on it, it could still be seen that it was a dumped waste from a certain house.

The screen moves towards the sky.

The whole city came into view.

Then, outside the city, a large number of tents with soldiers moving.

Subtitles played on the screen.

"Winter 1941, Saint Peter, 80th day of the siege."

The screen switches, and on the square, Petrov is chopping the broken wood of the collapsed house.

Those are the same people who are getting the lumber.

"St. Peter, 1942th day of the siege, spring 180."

Petrov was still singing.

Can vaguely hear, is "Katyusha".

The screen switches again.

This time, Petrov had many scars on his body, and he could only watch his comrades chop wood.

He still sings "Katyusha".

"In the winter of 1942, St. Peter, the siege for 3 days."

The screen switched again, and this time, the number of residents queuing up to receive the wood was reduced by half.

But the cold was worse.

So the lumber is still the amount of those lumber.

More than half of the houses around the square have collapsed.

"Spring 1943, St. Peter, Siege 4 Eighty Days."

The screen switches again.

Petrov, who has lost his left arm, has learned to chop wood with one hand.

Two-thirds of the young men chopping firewood were missing.

Only one-third of the people who received the wood remained.

Petrov sang "Katyusha" with a smile on his face.

People around, all with smiling faces, sang "Katyusha".

[The suffocating siege war, 480 days, is it finally coming to an end? 】

[It turns out that Katyusha is a song of victory. 】

[That's right, I understand. 】

However, the picture didn't stop.

It's all just fun.

"Summer 1943, Saint Peter, 6 and [-] days of siege."

"In the autumn of 1943, St. Peter, the siege of 7 days."

"In the winter of 1943, St. Peter, the siege for 8 days."

On this day, everyone was silent.

In fact, there are not many people.

All the houses around the square collapsed.

Snow covered the ruins.

Only one-tenth of the original woodcutter remained.

Only one-tenth of the residents who received firewood remained.

On the street, Liao was deserted.

Lens pulled up.

This majestic city was clearly visible hundreds of days ago, but now it is no longer a city.

More like villages scattered in the snow.

"In the spring of 1944, Saint Peter was besieged for 888 days."

Petrov chopped the firewood paralyzed and said nothing.

The crowd around is singing:
"Warrior to the far frontier,

Convey Katyusha's greetings.

Young soldiers stationed on the frontier,
I miss the distant girl in my heart;
Fight bravely to defend our country,

Katyusha love belongs to him forever. "

It seems that this song is sung to Petrov.

So... where is the girl named Katyusha?
The little boy back then had already put on his hat and an axe, and was chopping wood.

In Petrov's sky, a clear face was permanently frozen.

The whining air defense siren sounded.

The little boy back then is now a little soldier: "Mr. Petrov, we are going to counterattack!"

Petrov looked around, unable to speak.

"Counterattack, counterattack."

In fact, there are still more than ten days before the date of the counterattack determined above.

However, in today's cities, there is no more firewood.

If you don't counterattack and break out of the siege, then everyone will die in the city.

Maybe there is a second option, that is, when enough people die, there will be no need for firewood.

Those house beams, those pianos, those tubs, those tables, those window frames.

Even children's puppet toys have long been reduced to ashes in the fire.

But at the same time, it also left endless hope.

For 888 days, the city was not broken.

In 889 days, Petrov held a shovel without a wooden handle.

The picture flashed, and it turned out that the wooden handle of the shovel had long been thrown into the fire.

St. Peter's winter, so terrible.

Unable to leave the city, unable to chop firewood, everything in the city was burned clean.

Even the framed oil paintings of the Tsars of old have been thrown into the fire.

Poems, novels, and classics in the library have not been spared either.

Not to mention the wooden handle of the shovel.

【This soldier, doesn't he have a gun?Isn't he an officer? 】

Even if some ammunition is airlifted and airdropped, at least one officer should have a gun!

Text is written on the screen.

"In the Great Patriotic War, a large number of the Maoxiong Alliance's troops were ordinary youths and illiterate farmers, and instructors were needed to guide the war."

"Therefore, the German side ordered that Mao Xiongguo's instructor be captured and shot on the spot, and no prisoners were allowed."

"In order to protect them, Mao Xionglian issued a military order not allowing instructors to hold guns."

"That's why there are scenes like this on battlefields everywhere."

In the picture, an instructor of Mao Xiongguo is holding a wooden bench, running up into the air, faster than every fighter, always at the front of the team!

The instructors are not allowed to carry guns, right?How can I, a dignified instructor, hide in the back?
So, the instructor with the wooden bench ran faster than anyone else, rushed forward, flew over the trench, and opened a stool to a German soldier.

The screen switches back.

Petrov held a shovel without a wooden handle and held it tightly with one hand, leaving the other sleeve empty.

In an unknown defensive battle during the siege, he lost his left hand.

But what made Petrov even more desperate was that he lost his Katyusha forever during the siege of an unknown day.

Petrov swung his shovel and rushed into the German jackals in front of him.

The shovel was spinning wildly.

In the close combat, the German held a bayonet and competed with Petrov's shovel.

A gleaming white bayonet pierced Petrov's waist.

When pulled out, it became blood red.

Petrov suddenly laughed while spitting blood.

"Just when pear blossoms are blooming all over the world,

A soft veil floats on the river;
Katyusha stood on the steep bank,
The singing is like the bright spring scenery. "

Scene cuts again, 1939.

Petrov was wearing a military uniform, leading his team forward in the battle against the white snow.

At this time, they are still neat and tidy, with high aspirations.

He squinted and saw a pretty girl groping under a tree.

Petrov stepped forward: "What are you looking for?"

The pretty girl said, "My mirror fell into a tree hole."

Petrov wondered: "Why did the mirror fall into the tree hole?"

The pretty girl blushed: "Because someone told me that you can tell the tree hole your whisper, and the tree hole won't tell anyone."

"As a result, the mirror in my pocket accidentally fell into it."

Petrov took off his military uniform, reached into the tree hole, and took out the mirror.

While taking out the mirror, he laughed loudly: "Lovely girl, my name is Petrov, what's your name?"

"Katyusha."

Petrov laughed and sang Katyusha.

Katyusha blushed: "You are making fun of me."

Petrov laughed loudly: "It's not a joke. This new song is very powerful. The people in Moshiko like this song very much. It will spread to the All Bears League soon."

Katyusha: "You are clearly making fun of me."

Petrov patted his chest: "I promise, this is not a joke, "Katyusha" is sung to the girl I love."

Katyusha blushed: "Then can you guarantee that you will sing "Katyusha" with a smile every time you see me?"

"Yes!" Petrov: "I promise!"

The screen switched back to the battlefield.

Petrov's shoulders, chest, thighs, and the sleeve of his left hand, which does not exist, were all pierced.

The corners of Petrov's mouth were dripping with blood, the corners of his mouth were turned up, and he laughed:
"Just when pear blossoms are blooming all over the world,

A soft veil floats on the river;
Katyusha stood on the steep bank,
The singing is like the bright spring scenery. "

At this moment, all the audience knew that Petrov met Katyusha when he was dying.

Here I come, my Katyusha.

"In the spring of 1944, the city was besieged for 9 days, Germany was defeated, and St. Peter was relieved."

In the picture, there is no gauze to wrap those mutilated arms, so the young man wrapped in sackcloth has a solemn expression:

"Just when pear blossoms are blooming all over the world,

A soft veil floats on the river;
Katyusha stood on the steep bank,
The singing is like the bright spring scenery. "

As they sang, the depressed mood of this group of soldiers became higher and higher.

Countless people shouted and laughed.

Waving his cap.

"Warrior to the far frontier,

Convey Katyusha's greetings.

Young soldiers stationed on the frontier,
I miss the distant girl in my heart;
Fight bravely to defend our country,

Katyusha love belongs to him forever. "

Anyone, even a group of people who are tone deaf, can sing better than the best singers when they sing together.

When Katyusha's singing shook the haze of war in the sky.

Katyusha, stop here.

In the auditorium, the camera captured such a picture.

A small group of people stood up and sang Katyusha in unison.

They shed tears, and they empathize.

They are from the Maoxiong Country in the Blue Star World.

They understand Katyusha.

[In such a fierce war, almost all of a city was destroyed for nine hundred days. What a terrible war! 】

[At day No. 80, there was no more firewood in the city to burn, but at day 9, they finally won. 】

【Everyone who dies leaves hope for the living. 】

Wood, in this war, is symbolic.

It also has the most practical significance.

After every innocent resident killed by air strikes or shells, they left house support wood and distributed it to others to burn.

The sparks of the stars have never stopped.

Katyusha, in this war, has symbolic significance.

It also has the most practical significance.

Countless Katyushas died in this war. This name is too common in Maoxiong Country.

In this war, countless people also lost their beloved Katyusha.

But for every Katyusha that dies, more Katyushas live.

There were 8 people at the scene, listening to the less than [-] Mao Xiongguo audience singing "Katyusha" in the stadium.

This is the folk ballad of Mao Bear.

Folk songs are the most sincere emotions of all nationalities and countries born out of poetry.

This is "Katyusha".

That year, Mao Xionglian was completely suppressed. After countless soldiers died, countless soldiers were recruited.

Resolutely, embarked on the road of counterattack.

That year, the Maoxiong United defeated one after another of the German Iron-blooded soldiers, pulled out one camp after another, and attacked Linbai City all the way.

Many years later, the Americans said: the Americans were the first to break into Auschwitz.

You know, in the four years before Auschwitz was captured, and in the next 50 years, no American has been to this place.

Why did the Americans go there four years before the conquest?
Because the steel that built Auschwitz was sold to Germany by the Americans.

Americans are really going to get rich.

Americans are also really shameless.

At this moment, countless Katyushas and countless Katyushas sacrificed lovers told the American people in unison: Fart you, no!want!Face!
Maybe many years later, Americans will say: It was our great American captain who rushed into St. Peter and rescued the Katyushas from the 'ruthless' Bear Union soldiers.

Blue Star's Teddy Bear Country is in the same predicament as Earth Star's Teddy Bear Country.

Therefore, the audience in Maoxiong Kingdom couldn't bear it anymore.

Can't help crying.

Can't help trembling.

Can't help but look at the parallel world Earth Star who doesn't know where.

The Maoxiongguo audience silenced, and Lin Xuan picked up the microphone: "Let us ask Maoxiongguo's singer to sing the other two folk songs of Maoxiongguo."

"Evening on the outskirts of Moxico."

""Volga River Boatman Song"."

"Late at night in the garden. Quiet, quiet, quiet.

The leaves no longer rustle,

how good the night is,
Fascinating,

What a quiet night. "

"Hey blah blah,

blah blah blah,
Through the dense birch forest.

Step on the uneven road of the world! "

The folk songs of Mao Xiongguo are another style.

Sutherland chant style, Italian bel canto style.

The folk songs of Maoxiong Kingdom are poetry.

It corresponds to those great Maoxiong country poets and composers.

The folk songs of Mao Xiongguo are also local accents.

At the same time, the folk songs of Maoxiong Kingdom are also military music.

Whether it is lyrical, or intense, or love, or labor, everything can be military music.

When the performance of the two songs ended, the news from Mao Xiongguo was updated in real time.

During the same period, in Mao Xiong's country, the earth and star version of "Katyusha" has been downloaded 400 million times.

Mao Xiong Guo has a total of 3000 million people.

The power of music is always so powerful.

In the past, the guerrilla group of Italy also changed "Katyusha" into a team song to guide the team's battle.

Now, in Blue Star, "Katyusha" has once again become the love of Maoxiong people.

What I love to me, how can another world change.

What I believe in, is nothing but a different world.

At the scene, countless people wept and applauded.

Countless people in the barrage are remembering.

They remembered Petrov who sang Katyusha with a smile on his face.

That alone is enough.

Lin Xuan, who was waiting to take the stage, raised the microphone.

"Before I know it, half of today's folk night is over."

"There are only two sections left, Dragon folk songs and American country music."

"Let's first listen to a century folk song composed by American musicians and written by Long Guo lyricists."

""farewell"."

Farewell, composed in the [-]th century by the American composer John.

Li Shutong, a poet of Longguo, wrote lyrics in the [-]th century.

This well-known musician, art educator, calligrapher, and drama activist is an all-round artist who is one of the pioneers of Longguo drama.

Also a great teacher.

He once educated Feng Zikai, the creator of comics.

However, the most profound lesson he left for Long Guo was "Farewell".

There is no one in the world who can not be different, and no one in the world has not heard "Farewell".

The melodious piano sounded, and a group of children appeared on the main stage.

On the semi-covered stadium, some rare stars appeared.

In a metropolis like Yanjing, how lucky it is to see the stars by chance.

I don't know if these stars are Katyushas or the ancient music elves of the Dragon Kingdom.

　Because of the epidemic prevention during the Chinese New Year, I did not accompany my wife back to her natal home.I went back for the Lantern Festival in the past few days, jumping up and down, walking relatives back and forth, and taking a car, I was uncomfortable.Today is only [-] words, take a break.
