# Change (8)

Lt. Gen. Sierra pointed to the home theater with his bare hands.

“Have you seen that movie? ”

It seemed like a long conversation, but the screen was still in the middle of the godfather. Looking at Don Colleone on the screen, judging the general's intentions, winter shook his head in ambiguity.

“No. I know what it's about, but I've never actually seen it. ”

“I'm sorry. Take your time. You'd feel a lot of things. ”

“What did you feel? ”

“It's not a good habit to spread the answer sheets when solving problems. ”

“You won't have a chance to find out without it now. ”

“That's right. ”

The commander chirps low.

“Yes, I'll tell you. I've reconfirmed the human nature of those Italian hillbillies. ”

Are you referring to the influence of violence? Since the godfather was a movie about the mafia, I could not say winter was a hasty assumption. There was a background in the United States, and the lives of migrants who strayed from the institutional system overlapped with those of refugees. However, the general was not the intended answer. She relaxes with a glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

“Do you know that the origins of the mafia are like the fences of the Chinese I told you about? ”

“… I don't know. ”

“It's the story of Italy's modern day. In any country, industrialization and bourgeois capitalism drive a lot of farmers off the land. The conflict between the peasants who wanted to take the land and the life of the peasants was inevitable. The state was an active bystander. I had no reason to protect the peasants. I was able to change them into factories. Ridiculously cheap. ”

The self-help buried here would be a dismal summoning of the old country and a complaint sent to him by the general. China was a predominantly communist country, but in fact, the collapse of capitalism was more severe than any other country.

Winter said.

“You mean the Mafia's origins started hitting fences for peasants to defend themselves in a situation where the protection of the government was lost. ”

“Yes."

A stammering general.

“Vendetta, that's how the notorious mob's revenge began. Blood for blood, death for death. It looked like a hedgehog, but it was essentially a thorn. It only became corrupt and became entangled with the ultimate crime of interest. ”

“ ……. ”

“It hasn't changed since they came to the New World. You know, America was also a chaotic human crucible. That's why the constitution states the right to a firearm. It's the legacy of a time when magnetism was essential. ”

You chew the expression "disorderly human crucible," and the winter nods.

“I agree. The United States was like that. ”

If not, the dark timeline of immigrants would be difficult to leave as a masterpiece of American cinema. The history of the Colleone family was confronted with traditional American sentiments.

“China, USA, Italy. ”

Speaking, the lieutenant put his eyes on the screen.

“Though times are different, races are different and regions and cultures are different, there is always the same human nature everywhere. No one is free here, but it is divided between the lucky and the unlucky. I was hoping you'd reconsider this. ”

I sighed in the middle.

“The fundamentals of people remain unchanged. So we have to do what's best for people. ”

Winter senses another word from the commander. It was both winter advice and defense for his people. Obviously, I didn't like what I saw, but I asked him to remind me that it was the best outcome for them.

After realizing it, winter felt a bit eaten. Lt. Gen. Sierra was an unusually bad and unusually good man within the limits of man.

“That's the end of the business. ”

The commander looks up at the glass.

“I don't want to keep busy for long. Finish that and go. ”

Winter met the cup without a word.

“Cheers."

The crowded brandy leaves a deep trail and disappears.

During the breakup, the commander gave a book to the winter. It was an educational textbook about revenge history. The cover was worn quite well. Probably gave up what he liked to read. As you come out looking through the table of contents, Winter hears a voice calling to you from behind your back. I know the voice.Is she using the same accommodation as her mother? Winter takes off its hat and turns to the stairs.

“Tanguryeong Middle School? ”

Standing in the middle, he said with an unconfident attitude like a monologue.

“You're in the middle of winter, Commander Izzie. ”

Winter, when I hesitated, picked an okay word.

“It's been a long time. I've never seen you like this. ”

“This is the first time... ”

The bitterness spreads on the mumbling face of the Middle Church. His chin has a dirty beard. Unlike my mother, I wasn't wearing a uniform. Distorted shape contrasted with a clear winter of conquest. He glanced at winter for a long time. Winter gave him time.

Finally, the Middle Church sighed.

“There really is no Kurt Lee. ”

“I'm not apologizing. ”

“I really liked him. No, I was rather respectful. I thought I'd be happy to give him everything I have, but I wanted to live like a brother...... ”

“I didn't hate you either. ”

“You can't say that. ”

“ ……. ”

“From this day forward, I'll assume you have no grudges, no mercy. It wasn't the winter commander who saved me, it was Kurt Lee. So forget you, too. That's what I do for myself. ”

Middle school organized the relationship with a changed tone, and was baptized into winter.

“Then take a look. Nice to meet you, Commander. ”

A wooden staircase groans. Winter watched as the Middle Church disappeared upstairs. Enhanced hearing caught Commander Sierra Leone's monologue beyond the wall. Bastard. The sound of kicking your tongue adds up. Winter lets out a sigh and turns around.

Anne looked at the feeling of winter.

“Are you okay? ”

I didn't understand Chinese, but there was an atmosphere. He shrugs as he climbs into the winter car.

“There's nothing wrong with that. Rather, it's a bit classy. ”

“Then I'm glad……. ”

She didn't ask anymore. Time to return to the path of the autumn wind, Winter opened the book received from the commander. In the beginning, the author was briefly introducing why vengeance was regarded as honorable and its significance, regardless of the East and West. The endless chain of retaliation and hatred was a split of winter's abhorrent tide. However, as Sierra Leone said, the origins could not be regarded as pure evil footprints. It was a book that understands and confirms people.

I don't know how many pages. Winter raised her head because Anne's gaze was concerned.

“Are you still worried? I'm fine.”

I asked Anne, who was feeling a little numb, reacted as if she had just woken up.

“That's not it…. Personally, I hate cigarettes, but the smell of cigarettes is not surprisingly bad in winter. ”

“…… Ann? ”

“Oh.”

“ ……. ”

Shortly after, winter began to read again. The page has moved slower than before.

President McMillan woke up three days before Thanksgiving. The news excites me. Not all the shadows of rebellion have been erased, but many people think about the past as past. Winter received the President's personal summons two days later on Wednesday. Lying on the bed and having winter, the president jokingly smiled.

“Too bad. I can't keep my promise under these circumstances. ”

“If it's a promise... Ah.”

It was the first beer I spoke of in April and promised in October that had already passed the date. The president tasted it when he saw the mistress.

“Beer tastes important, but it also matters when and where and with whom. A drink with you would have been a lifetime of memories. What a pity. ”

“We'll have a chance later. ”

“At that time, I was no longer the president. You can't drink with the night vision in the back of the Oval Office. In my own way, it was a promise to commemorate the end of my term. It was supposed to be a commemorative drink to put it all down. ”

“It might be a good thing. The current president shouldn't be violating the law. no matter how trivial. ”

“Breaking the law? ”

“You seem to forget, I'm not 21 yet. ”

At the end of the winter, McMillan bursts into laughter.

“Oh no. If this were my home, I would have told you to get married sooner. ”

The president knew about Anne's relationship because he was joking around. There are no restrictions on alcohol consumption in some states if your spouse is 21 years of age or older. His hometown would be one of them.

“Where are you from? ”

“Louisiana.”

“Is this a good place to live? ”

“Do you want to hear either formal or informal? ”

“I want you both to hear this. ”

“Officially, it's my heavenly home, and informally, if you're bored, you're drowning. I can't say I like the perception of security and the people. I wonder how rotten your neighborhood has been all along.... But the food is quite delicious. Crawfish is probably the most American. ”

Whether it feels like it's time to put the luggage down or because of the winter's help during the insurgency, McMillan's attitude is much more familiar and unpretentious than before. Winter said.

“Unlike what you said, I can see that you miss me. ”

“Is that so?"

“Yes. You'll be back soon. ”

“I'm going back, f.... ”

Murmuring, the president blinked a few times.

“Yes. That's all I have to do. Time will come when I'm out of my hands. Many things will change, many things will not. Commander, I hope you haven't changed. ”

I know what that means, but winter, when I sensed my own change in a different sense, I could not answer straight away. McMillan spoke.

“This country's been through a lot of trial and error in the Middle East. The hardest part about establishing Middle Eastern policy was finding local personnel worth supporting. There's no one around here who wouldn't take it back if you funded them. So no matter how much money you spend, local taxes can be stable. ”

“That means……. ”

“Under the next regime, the Refugee Leader Support Act will work as a ruthless trap. ”

“ ……. ”

“Of course Kramer wouldn't lie. It's true that you're giving everyone a chance. But when the chosen ones are corrupt enough, he will cut them off without hesitation. This isn't the Middle East. There's no reason to get involved. ”

The conclusion comes after a breath.

“And that would justify a subsequent budget cutback. The next candidates will be implicated in the crimes left behind by their predecessors. ”

It was an area where winter could not be counted. He was always in a position to think differently, but he also unconsciously used it against himself. Winter felt one thought that I had pushed into the shadow of consciousness to regain my weight.

The president was still a patient in need of rest, so the conversation did not continue for long. To appear in public on Thanksgiving, I had to save my strength from now on.

On the way out, the mistress escorted her to winter. In the meantime, she's thankful for the winter, saying that your presence has been a great strength to her husband.
