Literary Master 1983

Chapter 92 Prince
A week has passed since Liu Xinwu’s speech at the “Youth Gala”.

In early May, the counterattack with our border neighbors was staged on a new front. There were reports that our neighbors were gearing up for another major battle, but the situation at the moment was relatively peaceful.

Therefore, some border troops were able to withdraw and rest. The Thai prince and military leader A Tie came to Malipo County for a visit from morning to afternoon.

The foreign prince reviewed the soldiers who were fighting at the time and praised them as "very good and very spirited." He also used a 40x large telescope in the observation post to carefully observe the main peak of Laoshan and the Songmaoling position. He fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time.

He asked for details of the battle, but remained silent after hearing them.

It was not until he saw the propaganda materials of both sides, that is, the so-called spiritual construction, that the foreign prince finally broke down:
"To be frank, we are on par with you in terms of weapons and equipment, we have more troops than you, we have better living conditions than you, and we have better combat conditions than you. However, every time we fight the Vietnamese, we always feel powerless and it is difficult to determine the outcome. Even if we occasionally win a small victory, the results are not optimistic."

"I've been wondering, what's the gap between me and you guys?"

The answer is simple, because "ideological and political work is not done well."

The Vietnamese not only used Chinese tactics and weapons, they even spoke Chinese and read Chinese novels, trying to use Chinese cultural works to lure the Chinese army into defecting. In the end, a very funny mistake was made - they were shot and killed by the Chinese novelist himself.

It had a great impact on the morale of the Vietnamese side, causing great chaos in the army.

So, the prince told the king truthfully what he had seen and heard, and the king told him that he hoped to introduce the novel written by the writer Yu Che.

At that time, mainland novels had little influence in Thailand, but popular novels represented by martial arts novels were influential in Thailand, especially in Chinese society... It even reached the point where when martial arts novels were serialized in Hong Kong, translators would immediately translate them into Thai and publish them.

If martial arts novels are serialized too slowly, Thais will find some ghostwriters to write "fan fiction" themselves.

In the 1970s, there was a novel called "Siamese Jianghu" which was very famous in Thailand. It used Jianghu as a metaphor for the social situation in Thailand. Thailand is one of the few modern countries in the world where the king has real power. The king is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and owns a considerable number of shares in giant companies that control the country's economic lifeline.

The current king's name is Bhumibol Adulyadej, generally known as Rama IX in later generations. He has a relatively high personal prestige among the people. He studied abroad at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland in his early years and is a typical enlightened royal.

He believes that the reason why young people read martial arts novels is not only because the novels are interesting, but also because characters like Guo Jing, who have a strong sense of family and country but do not cooperate with the government for various reasons, but have an almighty status in the martial arts world, have become the ideal type in the hearts of young people.

In Thailand, the royal family and the government are two different things. Young people can be indifferent to politics, but they cannot go against the royal family.

You can't just be patriotic when you're having fun in the rear, taking estrogen injections, and pretending to be a shemale. You have to be even more patriotic when you become a soldier. That's what Thais have to do.

So, the prince thought about it and decided to translate all the novels that Yu Qie had written, as well as the military novels that he would write in the future, into Thai and broadcast them on radio and television stations. He would broadcast them day and night until the young people on the front lines would have their ideological awareness raised.

At the same time, we also encourage domestic creators in Thailand to write some decent novels, not just about the prosperous world of Bangkok. Other places in Thailand are also very beautiful.

It was just a few novels, not a big deal, but not a small one either. Yu Qie himself was soon approached.

At that time, artists from the literary and art circles who had returned from performances in Laoshan, Zheyinshan, Fakalinshan and other places attended a commendation meeting hosted by the General Political Department in Chengdu.

Everyone arrived a day in advance, and as soon as they saw Yu Qie, they complained: "Yu Qie, I'm in Zheyin Mountain/Fakalin Mountain/xx Mountain... I see news about you every day!"

Yu Qie said: "I didn't expect it to become such a big deal."

"You are truly a hero. You have made us all proud." Feng Gong gave a thumbs up. "I will always remember these days with you!" Zhu Shimao said, "I am writing "Laoshan Diary" to be published in "Military Literature and Art". I have communicated with the editor several times. He hopes that I will write some news about you... I think your popularity is almost catching up with many stars! At least on the front line, everyone knows who Yu Qie is!"

Yu Qie waved his hand quickly: "You're too flattering."

Gong Xue has something to say to Yu Qie: You have really returned safe and sound.

However, Gong Xue had the nerve to say this when Yu Qie was about to go down the cat ear cave, overwhelmed with emotion, but now she can't say it out loud.

Once you say it out loud, others are bound to misunderstand you.

Yu Shuqing privately asked Gong Xue: "Sister, have you thought about the writer Yu Qie these days?"

"Of course not."

"Have you read his novels?"

"I haven't seen it either."

"Comic strip?"

"No no!"

"Did you give away all the chocolates your nephew gave you?"

“They’ve all been given away!”

Yu Shuqing was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Good sister, there is not a single truth in your mouth!"

He opened Gong Xue's palm again, and found a chocolate inside. "Just now I saw you wanted to give Yu Qie some candy, but you backed off. Why?"

Gong Xue couldn't deny it, so she sighed, "I like Yu Qie the most as a writer, but I am also the furthest away from Yu Qie as a writer... The closest time to him was when he wore a helmet and pretended to be an ordinary young man from Wanxian. I chatted with him and even gave him autographs. I was a big star..."

But Yu Shuqing pointed out: "But you won't like Yu Qie. I know you best as a woman who likes to read novels and fantasize... You say you want to have an ordinary relationship, but you never fall in love with an ordinary person!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

"Go tell him these few days, go tell him!"

"I...I..." Gong Xue hesitated.

That night, the chat did not last long before Yu Qie was called out by a local leader, accompanied by a higher-level superior, a middle-aged man in a suit and glasses, and a Thai translator.

The first thing he said was: "This is the prince of Thailand, General A Tie."

Yu Qi was confused: In my previous life, besides drinking Red Bull, I also logged into Southeast Asian servers to play games. How could I be related to Thailand?
