At the beginning of the last century, a new form of socializing began to become popular among the upper classes of European society. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Celebrities and politicians have turned their living rooms into social places, inviting dramatists, novelists, poets, musicians, painters, critics, philosophers and politicians to drink and have long conversations. The scale is large and small, but for the British aristocracy, this is only a formality. The 'salons' in Britain are mostly confined to a certain circle, with gangs and old aristocrats and well-known folk figures, politicians, and occasionally members of the royal family.

Literature, politics, music, anything else is within the scope of their discussions. Unrestrained, perhaps this is one of the influences of the Renaissance.

Although Britain had always been inexplicably hostile to France, the current international situation did not allow this hostility to continue. The Prussian movement caused the two countries, which had a hatred of the blood and tears of the Hundred Years' War, to suddenly cooperate in the economic and political spheres, and although France was currently part of the US-led NATO and Britain joined the Warsaw Pact, it still had no effect on the exchanges between the two countries. After the proposal of the European Union put forward by European countries led by France was rejected by the United Kingdom, the pattern in Europe has not been optimistic.

In the evening, Sean's wife, Sophia, is invited to Sherlock's house. At first, she was also slightly taken aback by the ornate furnishings of the room, it was unbelievable that no one on Sherlock's ancestors could have such a fortune, but the same was true of the Connor family. In fact, the house at 22-1B Baker Street had nothing to do with Sherlock's aristocratic family, and the property she had earned by her own wisdom did not need to be called noble, she said.

"Come, look at this, Her Majesty has agreed to the construction of a sea tunnel from England to France, and to the elimination of the formalities of crossing the border between the two countries. The French made it a condition that all the billboards on the street be marked in French..."Shylock threw the newspaper on the table.

"Maybe that's a good thing, isn't it? I don't think the French recognize the threat around them," Dior sneered, "and until not so long ago they didn't think the United States was a threat." Isn't the self-confidence that Napoleon gave them a little too strong? It's just that the pinnacle of national honor has appeared with a little more advanced firearms than the flintlock pistol, and now the country is still making a revolution.

"Not necessarily, Dior," Sophia gracefully grasped the teacup and brought it to her mouth, "France is now a republic, and although it seems to be in ruins, it may not lose to Britain economically." Now is the perfect time to sign an economic and political alliance with the United Kingdom, and one only needs to look at what Britain has done in recent years. ”

Joining the Warsaw Pact, allied with the Soviet Union, the Ming Empire, opposed the European Union, secretly researched nuclear weapons and a new generation of weapons of war... There is no doubt that if war had broken out, Prussia's military might not have been able to compete with Britain's at present. But Germany's allies may include the United States across the ocean. The Triple Alliance unanimously agreed that the United States would never join the battlefield with Prussia, and the reason was simply that the European power that Prussia faced was too strong for the secret entente to be of no use, and that the United States itself would have to consider the unbreakable military alliance of the Soviet Union if it entered the war.

Once the war began, the Soviet-Ming Army could even drive straight from Alaska, and Canada would not stop the United States. At that time, the United States itself will suffer an unprecedented shock, and on the contrary, Germany will not be able to provide the United States with a decent containment because of the rest of Europe, and perhaps even Warsaw. Therefore, once the war began, Germany's first goal must be to be adjacent to itself, without immediately angering the Soviet Union, and at the same time, it is better to give priority to the annihilation of France, a 'great power' whose military strength is declining.

Czechoslovakia, Austria-Hungary, and other small countries were not worth mentioning in the eyes of Germany. On the contrary, Britain's recent strong performance compared to the rest of Europe, and its still strong navy, even if it were airborne, would have to pay a heavy casualty - modern warfare is no longer decided by numbers.

"To sum up, France is now just looking for a 'backer'. This may be a bit demeaning, but you might as well think of it this way, after the conclusion of the Anglo-French Entente, if Germany wants to invade France, it must first consider your powerful navy, if it cannot be solved, they will not do it. ”

Sophia's analysis is very reasonable, and Sherlock and Yuru agree, but Dio does not see it that way. If it was not the United States that allied with Germany, but the USSR ... As she knew the history of the other world, I am afraid that in just one month, the whole of Europe will be plunged into war, and most of the small countries will be completely destroyed within this month. Once war breaks out, there will be no safe place except the South and North Poles. Not to mention that if the Ming Empire, the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States had all mastered nuclear weapons, the United States would not have ventured into this war.

With both the Ming Empire and the United States choosing to sit on the sidelines, the situation in Europe is even more precarious.

"But in any case, it won't involve Britain, those guys are working on new weapons for this. Yuru shook her head and couldn't help but sigh.

The technology she had developed herself would be used as a tool to slaughter others, and even the slightest bit of unease would haunt her.

"It's a pity that this is not the case," Dior took a deep breath, "there is no way to escape, no matter where in society, war will be everywhere." It is not the politicians who started the war that are most affected by the war, it is only us soldiers who have shed blood and died alone. It only takes a beautiful lie to cause war, but it takes untold blood to end it. It's impossible to survive in troubled times, and if you don't think about it now, you'll only have more regrets in the future. ”

"It's not like what you'd say, and I thought I should be looking forward to war more. Sherlock shrugged.

"So you can only nest in such a country and be the order of your detective world, if I were the Prime Minister or the Queen of England, maybe I would expect something like that... But I'm just a nobody. What good will the war do me? Isn't it possible to look forward to the promotion of officials after winning the war? Don't be stupid, only opportunists can do such a thing as risking their lives to fight for profits. ”

Just kidding, Dio is not the kind of guy who will fight for honor and the future. If the war really started, she would definitely buy a large number of daily necessities and run to the North Pole without hesitation, until the end of the war will not be able to see her shadow again. And now that the war is coming, the only thing she wants to do is to find a way to get to Wonderland, and then say goodbye to the strife of this world. Unless she has nowhere to run, nowhere to go, and no way out of these troubles other than to end the war, she will be involved in the battlefield where this stupid common people are desperately fighting for the good of those in power.

"I didn't expect you to be a pacifist too. ”

"Human beings are stupid and ugly, that's why they pursue beautiful things. It's a beautiful thing, but it doesn't change anything – smiles don't change the world, and love doesn't stop wars until you die. I hate people who talk about justice and don't do anything, but I don't hate people who do that kind of thing, and I especially hate people who do things full of malice and still have to justify their actions. Provided that none of them are on the opposite side of me. ”

"Whoever stops you will be killed by you, for whatever reason... I'm not mistaken, you are the greatest scourge of this society. ”

Sherlock pointed at Dior's nose and scolded that the two had never been in the same mind, and even if they temporarily cooperated for the same purpose, they were still fundamentally opposites. After listening to her words, Dio snorted coldly, put his feet on the table and said disdainfully:

"If you think about it in your mind, the vast majority of human beings are a scourge to human society. ”

Scientists who do everything they can to continue their own research at the expense of human interests, mortals who only think about their own lives and don't care about the development of the country, evil politicians who are in cahoots with gangsters and trafficking in human beings only for their own research, and evil politicians who do their best to make profits, even at the expense of their own daughters. Humanity is moving forward on such paths, and it is indeed moving forward, and it will never go back. Because how history evaluates itself a hundred years later is meaningless to them who have died, and there are very few human beings who can glimpse the truth in their short lives, and the slightest so-called 'right' will be drowned in the majority of the waves.

"I curbed the disgusting kidnapping of important British scientists, prevented the biggest terror/attack in the Ming Empire in recent years, destroyed the largest human trafficking den in Britain, what a wonderful excuse for justice, how many people would respond to me because they didn't know the truth, and then sneer at me when they knew the truth. It's ridiculous, it's clear that I'm not such a pure person, but I can't accept anyone's filth. ”

"When you say things like 'justice,' and do the right thing, do you believe that you have nothing wrong? I tell you, it's a big mistake, humanity will continue to fight, once, twice, even until humanity is unified, until the world is destroyed. Why is that? Isn't this unjust? Isn't it something that should be categorically curbed? Then I tell you now, human beings will not stop strife, because human beings themselves are part of this nature, and they are life that evolved out of strife and racial strife, and the names of struggle and fighting have long been deeply imprinted in the genes, and human beings have never been accustomed to being bred in captivity. After they are disgusted with being in captivity, no matter how many years of humiliation and oppression they endure, they will always remember how they got to the top of the food chain, and then raise the spear of true justice and point it at the hypocrites who are full of justice and morality, this is human beings, and the war you hate is the symbol of justice in your mouth. In the next 100 years, a thousand years, such a war will also become the largest 'group activity' of human beings, everyone does not like this kind of thing, but everyone is constantly studying how to win the war, how to slaughter their compatriots, and the side that is treated as a lamb is unwilling to be slaughtered, and then do the same thing and hold high the banner of justice, how awesome, this is human beings!"
