But, before anything about anything else, something about tunnel warfare
... as to efficacy of tunnel warfare, dunno, agnostic, or, at least, remaining polite, for this post.
am aware of an episode of tunnel warfare, in a place far far away, at a moment long long ago. Queue Star War's theme music.
the lyrics to the episode is here, and the memorialising movie trailer in next (yes yes cringe but harmonious with the period)
i first watched the movie back in 1966 when growing up in China, about once every two weeks, of each month, for the entire year, over and over again.
family had the only black / white TV in a part of town, and my buddies and I always watch the very few approved movies after the hour long new program of each day numbing with statistics of tractors made, trucks delivered, wheat harvested, and whatnot
it wasn't clear to me, thinking back, what would have happened had our TV broke down. Am guessing find the burned out vacuum tube and replace. Dunno.
i do remember my tricycle, and the Hongqi brand black sedan (do not know the manufacturing year), a smaller model than the state beast the descendant of which was ogled at by the Biden, and yes, spending summer on the island in the middle of the summer palace recommended, especially early mornings to go by row boat with dad to the back lake to watch him doodle
Any ways wonderful days and lovely nights, and yes, the Jack Jr does look like me, and my dada, Jack Sr
The Hongqi was a copy of a Soviet copy of the American Cadillac and shall likely outlast the Cadillac, just a guess
Whilst perusing collected history pics, chanced upon some of Chinese helping out at the time on the right side of history 1918, and looks like the British tanks had issues with mud back then as do now
Team Biden seems to have appreciated the literal flag-carrier Hongqi during the recent Core Comrade Jinping's San Francisco visit, that which caused a stir due to SF being cleaned for once over
Unclear whether the issue was with the tank or with Europe
