On the one hand, the general's demands are completely reasonable, and the political darkness makes the soldiers shed blood and tears for the country, which is really a great crime.
But on the other hand, the general's appeal method will definitely not get the permission of the state apparatus, and it is even criminal in a sense. This is kidnapping and extortion, no matter what the purpose is.
But the concentrated flashpoint of the conflict is the character of the general himself. On the one hand, he hated the nasty state apparatus that made his brothers shed blood and tears, so he took this approach to seek justice. But on the other hand, it is his integrity that makes him unable to do exactly what a blackmailer should do, and he must be cold when he is cold.
This double contradiction culminates in the story when the special department confronts the rebel army carried by the general.
Unlike a film with a clear distinction between right and evil, we only hope that the bad guys die early and get better. In that scene, the death of everyone is a painful result.
One side is loyal to the country, but the country they are loyal to has betrayed the other side, allowing them to stand on the opposite side of the country.
You say, who is right and who is wrong? You said, who is the real initiator?
That's right, it's that state machine. When an individual forms a country, its mode of operation begins to be out of control and becomes scary.
So what should we do?
I can't answer.
