Chapter 7: The Spiral of Revenge - The Limits of Humanity
Back to August 8, 1943. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is the day when Kii drifted to the nameless island.
Shanghai, China.
Even if Chen Minguang, the number one agent of the Red Party, stopped, there were still many people from different anti-Japanese war organizations who tried to prevent the surrender ceremony in their own ways. In the eyes of many ordinary people, the Chongqing government still has the ability to fight, and even if Chongqing is bombed to the ground, it should continue to hold out for China's sake.
"Inform everyone, try to prevent the democrats from making unnecessary sacrifices, too many people have been sacrificed for this war, at least they ...... He should not die for his country today."
Sitting in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant, Chen Minguang couldn't help but worry when he saw the crowd of protesters gathered outside the window. In today's day, the Japanese garrison will definitely not hesitate to shoot to disperse the crowds of protesters. Chen Minguang said reluctantly, and he has been reflecting on himself for the past few days on what the road is to save the country. With his own strength, the assassination of the leader of Shanghai No. 76 is already the limit.
He did, with the help of Kaga, developed a super-perfect assassination plan and did not sacrifice a single subordinate. He also killed more than a dozen elderly and children in the other party's mansion, and razed the mansion to the ground with a bomb.
This was his limit, but the result was that Shanghai was under martial law again, the Japanese military police continued to search the whole city, and the price of his own head on the black market doubled.
Without.
His victory was just a glorious headline in the confrontation between nations, and nothing could change it.
"It's okay, Minguang, you've done a good job. Because you are the people's hero of this country, your name is enough to send chills down the spine of any of your enemies. Don't force yourself anymore, you are a person, not a god of salvation. ”
Kaga sat across the table and gently persuaded Chen Minguang, knowing that today would be the most painful day for Chen Minguang, which could be compared to the Changzhou air raid that year. Watching Chen Minguang rely on the willpower that can be called the limit of human beings to turn his mentality, Kaga enjoyed the most delicious "lunch". [Human, your tenacity even I have to admire, but this is also in my calculations. 】
A few crows flew outside the window, which slightly diverted Chen Minguang's attention. "Thank you, everything I was able to do today is thanks to Miss Lan. You are my life teacher, and I really don't know what to give you in return. ”
"No, what better reward to appreciate a hero's struggle? When I retire from the organization, I will definitely write your deeds into a biographical novel, and I believe that young people will applaud your heroic deeds. ”
Kaga didn't lie, all she wanted was to appreciate the "toys" she had single-handedly made, and how she was struggling on the road to revenge. Chen Minguang is a righteous national hero, and no one can deny that Kaga spent years to complete this conclusion, just as the gods in mythological stories have created one tragic hero after another: dragon slaying warriors, samurai slaying serpents, brave men who defeated demon kings, and fierce generals who defended their homes and countries...... These are all heroes created by the gods, and all of them are just pawns that the gods want to "make", and they are under the control of the gods from beginning to end, because those monsters are all made by the gods.
Chen Minguang's subordinates had already been sent out to dissuade the patriots who had organized the march, but Kaga was not worried that the march would be stopped halfway through, and that the march would end in bloody machine-gun emplacements. She already has a full understanding of the country's patriots, who are all fighters who can die immediately for the sake of the motherland. Therefore, the tragedy is inevitable, because those brave organizers have already prepared to sacrifice for the country today, with the intention of "shedding their blood on the day of surrender and showing the backbone of China".
Kaga is also ready to applaud the backbone of this group of patriots, and the magnificent scene of the birth of thousands of dead souls today. The war made Kaga forget the human thinking she had learned, and she was originally the one who condensed the "essence" of human warfare for thousands of years. Even if Akagi, Nagumo Tadaichi, and the rest of the First Voyage could still be the objects she cared about, no one could stop Kaga from embarking on the path to becoming a god, as early as the day Kaga killed her sister, and was captured by "Black".
It was Kaga, who was still in a state of ignorance, who awakened her worship of war in the face of the tragic death of deep-sea ships, the brutal human invading soldiers, the human scientist who cut her sister with a knife without saying a word, and the "black" of her future love.
"Miss Lan, what are you thinking?"
"No, I am struck by the national integrity of your people, although this war was won by my country for the time being, but you are different from those inferior peoples who belong to the same invaded country, perhaps this is the reason why your nation has survived to this day. The wonder of humanity, worthy of admiration. ”
Kaga's praise is only from a human point of view, the deep sea fleet only needs one command from the commander of the suhime, and all the ships under his command will carry it out at the cost of their lives, and suhime obeys the will of the deep sea or the high-level suhime who made them. Mental integrity is a dimension behind the general top-down authority system.
But this does not prevent Kaga from laughing in his heart and praising him, because Chen Minguang now needs some "sugar" to soothe his extremely contradictory sense of loss.
"The greatest weapon of mankind has always been the unique ability to turn emotions into strength, so be optimistic, I am waiting for you to lead this nation out of the predicament of aggression in more than ten years, and our organization will spare no effort to seek a political way to reverse the normal state of foreign aggression."
Chen Minguang probably would never have imagined that the so-called "Comintern International Organization of the Japanese Far East" had brought together many veterans in the current Japanese political and military circles, and for him to know all the truths was equivalent to destroying his will to continue fighting.
The two left the restaurant and walked along the path to avoid the chaotic procession. Chen Minguang walked out of the restaurant and asked his subordinates about the dissuasion, but naturally there was no countermeasure. Even if his subordinates tried hard to persuade the enthusiastic organizers, they were not calm and understanding, but a cowardly insult. What's more, in the face of the threat of Chen Minguang's subordinates, he did not change his face.
The Japanese military police had already been dispatched in large numbers, and the surrender ceremony was only three hours away, and the officers stationed in Shanghai were thinking with their butts and knowing what to do with the unsightly procession. After all, several officers in charge of investigating the assassination have already apologized for their misdeeds.
"Aren't we going to continue to stop? Maybe it helps? ”
As soon as Kaga said it, Chen Minguang's subordinates also asked Chen Minguang to intervene in person, perhaps to prevent the unnecessary civilian sacrifice that was about to occur.
"Even if I can stop this time, it will be difficult to do it in the future. Since sacrifice is inevitable, let us remember the feats of these fearless citizens. This represents the hope that we still have victory in the future. ”
Chen Minguang's mentality has undergone a drastic change, and Kaga is very satisfied with this change, because his personal strength is limited after all, and only by understanding and knowing how to make trade-offs can he truly win the war against aggression in the future. Kaga doesn't want her toy to be a top killer after more than six years of training, unable to take on the role of leader.
"Try to avoid children and women continuing to join the procession, so be it. You act as a team according to the tasks I have set. Remember not to be as fearless as the blind citizens are to sacrifice today. ”
Of course, Chen Minguang would not let the traitors of the Japanese garrison and the Nanjing government survive this day in peace, and he planned a number of attacks, but the targets were all small characters, just to completely collapse the Japanese secret service organization in Shanghai, as his biggest gift back to Yan'an to report on his work.
"You're leaving Shanghai soon?"
Only Kaga was by his side, Chen Minguang directly admitted, he said to his subordinates that he was waiting until winter, but after this confused trip to Shanghai, Chen Minguang just wanted to stop his killing, and now he was impulsive, and he took the slaughter target family as the first choice at any time.
"Or are you confused about what you've done?"
"No, these are not merits at all. I...... It is to fight for the country and the nation, and to do the most brutal assassination deeds. To be honest, I'm scared right now, what should I do if one day people change their minds and become second-class civilians in Japan? At that time, everything I do now is a betrayal of the country and the nation, and I will become a murderer only for revenge. ”
Chen Minguang expressed the worry he had been thinking hard about in his heart, and no matter how strong a nation is, it can last for ten or twenty years, but I am afraid it will also reach the limit. History proves that after settling down, terrible obedience will occur, and now that thousands of people can knowingly send them to their deaths to form a march, after the next defeat, I am afraid that there will be no third chance.
"Peace of mind, you will succeed and go down in history as a hero. I will not allow you to fail, because I can't think of anyone other than you who can expel the Japanese army and win the war between Japan and China. If you back down, who are you worth? ”
Kaga's comfort hides a cold warning, Chen Minguang can't turn back, because he looks back and is an abyss.
"That's right, I will definitely win the third Sino-Japanese war. Must win, must ......"
Chen Minguang suddenly noticed that four people had appeared from the entrance of the alley, and one of them had already pulled out a pistol. It happened so suddenly that there were no barriers in the narrow alleys where there were no shelters to hide.
[These people? How could they carry a signal shield that only exists in the deep sea? Damn it! Wang Hua's little ghost is still subordinate to the central Qi Ji? 】
Kaga also showed a shocked expression, her indulgence of Wang Hua caused a mutation beyond her calculations. Human weapons can't hurt her, but Chen Minguang is still by her side.
"Miss Lan, get down!"
Chen Minguang protected Kaga behind him and immediately pulled out his pistol from his waist, but the Nanjing government agents on the opposite side had already shown their weapons first.
In a burst of gunfire, the agents who suddenly appeared were shot and killed by Chen Minguang, but the last man threw a grenade.
The only way Chen Minguang could think of was to fly the grenade, but his usual pistol suddenly jammed, and he had already been shot in his right leg.
The dust seemed to have condensed with time, and the explosion of the grenade was easily blocked by this barrier.
But for Chen Minguang, what surprised him even more was that Kaga did something that would never have been possible for humans.
