Chapter 352: War, Excavation, and Report
After two days of arduous journey, they finally arrived at the front line area.
This speed is already quite fast in Myanmar, because the so-called "road" here is actually just a small path that is barely passable.
The vehicles were driving on the road as if they were in a rocking cradle, and by the time they arrived at their destination, many soldiers even suffered from motion sickness.
Fortunately, Wu Wu was in good physical condition. Although he felt uncomfortable along the way, he eventually adapted.
After meeting with officers from ASEAN countries who came by ship, they discussed the next operational plan with the front-line commander in Myanmar.
Wu Wu soon decided on a plan in which the Burmese army would take the main attack and the joint forces would be responsible for the breakthrough.
After arriving at the front line, Wu Wu naturally took over the supreme command.
This kind of large-scale corps combat is not Wu Wu's strong point, but he has enough confidence that he can do it.
The offensive usually begins with artillery fire, with artillery from the Burmese Army and the Allied Forces simultaneously launching high-intensity strikes on targets that were previously reconnaissanced early in the morning.
The Allied forces' artillery fired loudly, as if the shells were as dense as raindrops, with complete disregard for the consumption of ammunition.
The Burmese side, on the other hand, seemed relatively frugal, firing only one shell for every three fired by the coalition forces.
This difference was already evident at the beginning of the battle, and the difference in logistical support capabilities between the two sides was immediately apparent.
Fortunately, the dietary arrangements for both sides were separate, otherwise Wu Si was afraid that the Burmese army would simply stop fighting because of unfair treatment.
One party could only enjoy cold rice, kimchi and fruits, while the other party could enjoy fish and meat, and the food was still hot.
Such a comparison is hard to accept.
While they were fighting fiercely, South China Television had already shifted its focus and was no longer paying attention to this war.
Today, the focus of publicity is on the newly discovered Batak historical sites.
In particular, the excavation of a large number of bronze artifacts attracted widespread attention, and even Western newspapers reported on it.
This discovery not only allows people to have a deeper understanding of ancient civilization, but also adds cultural heritage to the Kingdom of South China.
As the news spread, Westerners applied for entry like a tide.
These adventurous Westerners, who did not value their own lives at all, came with strong curiosity and dreams of getting rich, hoping to discover more secret relics.
Such a discovery would not only make them famous, but could also bring them huge wealth.
However, the South China government did not want these unorganized and undisciplined Westerners to enter Sumatra at will.
After the meeting, only the entry applications of historians and archaeologists from various countries were approved.
At the same time, the mainland learned the news and quickly dispatched a professional team.
Because the ruins reported by Nanhua belonged to the ancient Dian tribe, and a large number of precious bronze artifacts were unearthed, which is of great significance for improving the history of the mainland.
The arrival of the experts has greatly accelerated the cleaning of the ruins, especially those bronze artifacts that have been deformed or broken, which have become the focus of restoration.
The mainland has world-leading technology and experience in cultural relics restoration, and skilled craftsmen have begun intensive restoration and assembly work at the ruins site.
It is the professional identification and restoration results of these master craftsmen that make all those who come to inspect believe in this relic.
They witnessed with their own eyes how each piece of ancient bronze artifact regained its former glory under the skillful hands of the master craftsmen, and their hearts were filled with awe and wonder.
You have to know that it takes a long time and the gradual pressure of the soil for bronze ware to become what it is today. This power of time cannot be forged.
The female leader of the Batak tribe was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night, and even took the initiative to ask Yu Xuan to teach her Chinese.
In her eyes, how could she not learn the culture of her ancestors? Not only did she actively learn it herself, she also gathered the elites of the Batak tribe. Hundreds of people gathered around the ruins, and they were more attentive than Nanhua.
Anyone who tries to enter here will become a target of their vigilance.
These people directly took over the task of guarding the outer forest. Apart from patrolling every day, they spent the rest of their time learning Chinese and Mandarin with the people of Nanhua.
Especially when they discovered the four-legged square tripod, their enthusiasm for learning Chinese reached its peak in an instant.
Because it is engraved with the words of their ancestors, but they cannot understand it, while people in Nanhua and the mainland can understand it.
This made the Batak people feel very uncomfortable.
Although Sumatra is a vast island, information is transmitted extremely quickly.
The first to feel the brunt of this change are the staff of the Education Bureau.
The learning enthusiasm of these indigenous people has increased significantly, and the attitude towards them has also changed dramatically, becoming as close as a family.
Local leaders even often come to inquire about their living conditions and whether the tribesmen are listening to their teachings.
These leaders would come to check on the tribesmen who were learning every few days, which put a lot of pressure on every Batak member. Nanhua's friendliness allowed them to be perfunctory, but the leaders did not dare to be perfunctory and had to bite the bullet and learn Chinese characters every day.
On South China's television stations, a large number of unearthed scenes captured by reporters were widely broadcast.
This archaeological discovery reveals the close connection between Southeast Asia and the mainland.
For a time, many Southeast Asian indigenous people began to wonder whether their own ethnic group, like the Batak, had split from the mainland.
Nanhua's construction team arrived at the excavation site by airship.
Under the excited leadership of their female leader, they began a detailed survey of the surrounding terrain.
They will fulfill their promise to the female leader to build a museum here and ensure that the excavated artifacts are not taken away.
After seeing the construction team, the female leader was so excited that her voice trembled. She said on the spot: "The Batak people will provide manpower and labor for this building to commemorate the ancestors. Nanhua does not need to pay a penny."
Yu Xuan accompanied him with a faint smile on her face, and said, "People can come, but they still have to pay. Xincheng has decided that everyone will have a salary of 15 Singapore dollars per month, and meals are provided."
Yu Xuan followed this grand scam throughout the whole process, and even designed many of the plans herself.
This scam made Yu Xuan deeply doubt history. Are many historical facts true?
Western history, in particular, made her feel extremely suspicious. A large number of Western archaeological excavations often found exquisite sculptures and artifacts when digging in one place, but there were no large-scale ancillary buildings.
Especially those large ancient bronze sculptures, not even a workshop has been found.
Before the unearthed of various single cultural relics, Yu Xuan thought it was just a difference in culture, but after this experience, she no longer thinks so.
After the excavation on Sumatra Island was completed, Yu Xuan returned to Xincheng and sorted out the Western history.
After six years of research and writing, she published a book titled The Truth about Western History.
The book analyzes various issues in Western history in detail, raises a large number of questions and criticisms, and even directly doubts the authenticity of Western history.
This book has caused a great response in academia and society and has become a focus of controversy.
Many people agree with Yu Xuan's view that there are many false and beautified elements in Western history;
Others strongly opposed it, believing that Yu Xuan's views were too extreme and one-sided.
Western governments and academia are shocked and outraged by Yu Xuan's views, which they believe are a serious challenge to Western culture and values.
As a result, Western countries blacklisted Yu Xuan, banned her from entering the country, and condemned her on international occasions.
Some extremists even sent threatening letters to Yu Xuan's unit, demanding that she stop criticizing Western history.
Faced with tremendous pressure, Yu Xuan did not back down.
She firmly believed that her views were correct and insisted on continuing to study Western history in depth and constantly publishing new works and articles.
In this debate about Western history, Yu Xuan has become a highly-watched figure.
Her views sparked a rethinking of Western history, a debate that lasted for a long time and has not been completely resolved until long later.
Yu Xuan's name has become a symbol, representing the challenge to authority and traditional concepts, and the pursuit of knowledge and truth.
