Chapter 135 Border Incident
Chapter 135 Border Incident
A few days later, on the border between Siam and Yan, it was a dark night.
In a quiet field, several Siamese villagers were busy.
Armed with various tools such as shovels, hoes and ropes, they are digging a huge boundary monument.
One of the villagers stopped what he was doing and asked worriedly, "Do we really want to do this? Will this cause any trouble?"
Another villager responded: "Don't you want to live a better life? As long as we succeed, everything will be different."
Hearing this, the worried villager's eyes lit up, as if he saw a bright future. He said excitedly: "Of course I do. I dream of living a good life."
"But what if we are discovered?"
The other villagers consoled him, “Don’t worry, as long as we don’t let anyone know about this, who will know about it?”
So everyone started to work and continued digging the boundary marker.
After some effort, the boundary marker was finally dug out.
The villagers found two thick ropes and tied the boundary marker tightly.
Then, they worked together to carry the boundary marker and walked towards a place two kilometers away.
Along the way, they carefully avoided possible patrols to ensure they would not be discovered.
Finally, they arrived at their destination.
A villager gasped and said, "We're here. This location should be able to cover our entire village."
Others nodded in agreement.
Then, they began to dig a hole in the ground, preparing to re-erect the boundary marker.
After some effort, the boundary marker stood firmly in its new position.
Looking at the results before their eyes, the villagers were very excited.
They congratulated each other and looked forward to a better life in the future.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and there was a gentle breeze.
The border patrol team of Yan Country started their day's patrol mission as usual.
The team members walked along the border in high spirits, vigilantly observing everything around them.
However, when they arrived at a familiar area, they suddenly felt something was strange.
"Hey, where is the boundary marker?" a team member asked puzzledly.
"Yes, he was clearly here yesterday!" another team member echoed.
"Could it have been stolen?" someone speculated.
"That's impossible. Who would steal a boundary marker? It's not something valuable." Someone retorted.
At this time, the patrol squad leader realized that something was wrong, and he decisively ordered: "Everyone, look around."
"Yes!" the team members answered in unison and began searching nearby.
They carefully checked every inch of land, not missing any clues, but they still couldn't find the missing boundary marker.
In desperation, the squad leader decided to send more people, and hundreds of fully armed soldiers joined the search team.
After some effort, we finally found a boundary marker two kilometers away.
The squad leader looked at the boundary marker in front of him, frowned, and fell into deep thought: "Strange, how did it get here? It's really strange."
"Sergeant, could it be that this boundary marker grew legs and ran away?" a team member said jokingly.
"Don't talk nonsense. There's no such thing! Stop talking about those feudal and superstitious things."
"Dig out the boundary marker and move it back to its original position." the squad leader ordered seriously.
"Yes, squad leader." The team members took action immediately.
At this moment, hundreds of villagers suddenly emerged from a village on the border of Siam.
They ran to the boundary marker in a menacing manner and stopped the Yan soldiers who were digging.
On the Yan State side, hundreds of fully armed soldiers immediately became alert upon seeing this, raised their guns and entered a state of combat readiness.
At this time, a villager excitedly questioned the soldiers of Yan State: "What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?"
A squad leader from Yan State stepped forward and responded: "Hello, fellow countryman, our boundary marker has come here for some reason, and now we have to dig it back."
After hearing this, the villagers became even more agitated. They retorted, "Why are you running here? This boundary marker has always been in this position."
"Also, when will you provide us with electricity? When will you give us ID cards? When will you build roads for us?"
The squad leader probably thought of something, and he pondered in his heart.
Needless to say, these villagers must have moved the boundary marker here in order to live the life of Yan Country.
So he said to the villagers seriously: "Fellow villagers, what you are doing is wrong. I advise you not to stop us, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
However, the villagers did not back down. They stood up and stopped them, saying, "No! This boundary marker has always been here. This is an indisputable fact."
"You must issue us ID cards and recognize our identities and rights."
The squad leader responded bluntly: "If everyone was as unreasonable as you, our boundary marker would have been moved hundreds of kilometers away."
"We will not change the borders of our country because of the wishes of individuals."
"No, the boundary marker is here. We are the legal citizens of your Yan Country. This is an indisputable fact." A villager said excitedly.
The squad leader knew that he could no longer communicate with the villagers, so he decisively ordered: "All soldiers, listen up, load your guns, and if anyone dares to stop us, shoot immediately."
"Yes, squad leader." The soldiers responded in unison.
When the villagers saw that the soldiers were serious and realized the seriousness of the situation, they could only watch helplessly as the soldiers dug up and took away the boundary marker.
Not long after, the boundary marker was successfully dug out and relocated to its original location.
The soldiers continued to carry out patrol missions to ensure the security and stability of the border.
The nearby villagers of Siam dream of becoming citizens of Yan State. After all, the living conditions between the two countries are too different.
In Yan Country, even if you work in a factory, you can get at least a few dozen yuan in salary every month.
In Siam, they were very lucky if they could earn three dollars after working hard for a month.
This is not the first time this has happened. Villagers from many surrounding villages have tried to move the boundary markers to their own villages.
I hope to change my destiny and live a better life.
However, this is just their wishful thinking.
