Chapter 612: Human Value
April 1895, east of Verdun, France.
"For victory!"
"Oooo
In the positions of the German army, there are more and more troops these days, more and more people, and all kinds of weapons and equipment, it is simply like a mountain and a sea!
"Teacher, what do you think we're doing here?" In the corner of the position, Adolf was still talking to his teacher, Marx. Webb chats.
"My Adolf, do you believe it? I feel like this war is coming to an end. "Marx. Weber spoke in a very intelligent, that is, very philosopher-like way.
"Teacher, we are on the battlefield now." Adolf couldn't help it anymore and spit on his teacher.
"Of course I do, but what if we don't see this as a battlefield in our hearts?" Marx. Webb still seems to want to take classes.
"......" Adolf was speechless, so he had to divert the topic, "Well, what we talked about before, Protestantism and capitalism, and the relationship between society and human beings, teacher, don't you think that the conclusion you have reached can easily deduce a conclusion?" β
Hey, don't say it, this war is a war, but sometimes, you can really understand some truths, and Adolf is like this at this time.
"What conclusion?" Marx. Weber came to the spirit, you know, he really likes this student of himself now, and this little guy can always give him unexpected joy.
"It's easy." Adolf spread his hands and said that this was just an easy thing to do, "Tell the teacher that you have a list of statements about capitalism, religion and human nature, that is, the responsibility of Protestants in the capitalist world is to make money, then it is not easy to come to the conclusion. In the current human world, the value of human beings is reflected in money, and it can even be simply deduced that everything in human beings can be expressed in money, that is, our morality and our emotions. Everything we have can be measured according to the amount of money, that is to say, the more money a person has, then his moral standard is higher, and the more money a person has, then the more noble and perfect a person he is! β
I have to say that this theoretical derivation is indeed a bit difficult to accept. Because in the traditional morality of mankind, even the Jews, who value business the most, do not think so, but ......
"Oh! O my God! You are so kind to me! In such a chaotic battlefield, a genius was given to me! Ha! My little Adolf! You're a genius! Absolute genius! β
Unexpectedly, Marx. Webb was so happy when he heard these words that he boasted a lot!
This one...... So it seems, a philosopher. Especially the kind of philosophers who are very powerful, they think about things differently than ordinary people. Obviously, Marx at this time. Webb was as happy as if he had found a treasure.
But......
"Teacher." At this time, Adolf couldn't bear to look at his teacher, because he felt that this inference was problematic, so Adolf pouted and said, "But I think this inference is obviously problematic. For example, human emotions can be measured in terms of money? How can the moral standard of human beings be completely reflected by money? Teacher, you have to admit it too, right? There are always selfless people who contribute to the world. It can't be measured in money. β
Adolf's own inferences, but he himself felt that there was a problem, which is normal, a scholar needs to be speculative, even though Adolf is not yet a scholar.
"No, no, no, my Adolf, you're right, but, from the point of view of society as a whole, in the end it's all about money, and there's nothing wrong with that, really isn't. Think about it, even if it is human emotion, but the mode of expression is not material? If you show your love to your lover, then buy at least one rose, right? I don't know if you know, hundreds of years ago, when the French aristocracy showed their love for their lover, they would offer a tulip, and the tulip at that time reached 1,000 francs each, so it caused the tulip bubble in the Netherlands. Isn't that proof, you see? β
Worthy of Marx. Webb, worthy of a learned fellow, is nothing short of bala bala bala bara to give an example......
"Teacher." Adolf also wanted to say something, because he had always felt that human beings could not reflect their value in money, that was simply too vulgar, or rather, it was simply an insult to human beings!
But to be honest, he'd heard it before, and he couldn't seem to remember where or who......
However, Marx. Webber really seemed to have discovered a gold mine, and he continued: "Not far away, that is, now, haven't you paid attention to the advertising slogan that is more popular now?" Diamonds are eternal, and a diamond lasts forever! β
"This ......"
By the way, this advertising slogan is from the Kimberley Mining Company in Johannesburg, South Africa, which is currently the most important diamond producing company, and this company is now constantly advertising in Europe, a man and a woman, and then the two are very close, and even the thing they do is a little stinky and shameless, but, it doesn't matter, in the end, this is love, how to do love? Buy a diamond.
As for who did this advertising slogan, this ...... Anyway, what can be seen at the moment is a man named Theodore. Roosevelt's guy, this guy is the owner of the Kimberley Corporation.
Well, let's not talk about South Africa, and Adolf this child......
"Teacher, I think there must be pure love in this world! What a diamond! That thing can't pollute that purity! "Adolf is still ...... It's a bit naΓ―ve.
"Hahaha...... Marx. Webb laughed, "My little Adolphus, are you thinking of a woman?" Oh, yes, you should be looking for a girl at your age, it's all about you in this war, hahaha...... Don't be embarrassed......"
This one......
No one could have imagined that in a world war, at such an important juncture, there were people discussing philosophical issues, as well as the love of young people......
That's right, most people don't do this, and most people are concerned about the outcome of this war.
"Your Excellency! We have mobilized all the resources we can to get to the vicinity of Verdun, 5 corps, 30 divisions, more than 350,000 men, 1,000 heavy artillery, 800 mortars, more than 2,000 trucks, and 100 combat vehicles......"
In the German headquarters in Berlin, a young officer was reporting to Xiao Mao Qi, his beard was very beautiful, and he was very energetic, anyone looked like a very promising general, this person was indeed very promising, he was the staff officer of the headquarters, Erich. Feng. Falkingham!
Falkingham was only in his 30s at this time, and he was definitely one of the most promising officers in Germany, and at this time it was still in the big war, and his promotion was definitely not slow. Soldiers, if you want to rise fast, you have to have a war.
"Alright, I got it! Order Stephen and Hindenburg in front of you, prepare for everything, and wait for orders! After listening to the report, Xiao Maoqi immediately waved his hand.
"Yes!" Fakingham saluted and went out.
"......" waited for Xiao Mao Qi to be left alone, and his brows were twisted together.
It should be said that the real commander of the German army at this time was Xiao Mao Qi, although his official position was chief of the General Staff, but in fact, this was the most powerful official.
Because Germany is still a monarchy, the highest military commander, of course, is Kaiser Wilhelm II, and even many of his army commanders are nobles and royalty, which is very normal, and you must catch the gun.
In fact, the original Japan in Asia also learned in this way, and those who went out to lead the troops had to be at least someone whom the emperor trusted very much, and the emperor gave him a chrysanthemum knife or something.
The power of the staff officer was large, which was a characteristic of the imperial state.
Xiao Mao Qi is not thinking about what power issues are at this time, but about the upcoming big war!
Mobilized so many troops, you know, this is after the start of the war, the two sides have begun to enter the confrontation, don't underestimate these 300,000 people, this is definitely the biggest force in Germany at present, people are also needed on other fronts, and the nearly 2,000 cannons, this is not a trivial matter.
Let's just go to a normal colony, and you can take someone's hometown for yourself with two cannons......
But...... Liability!
Xiao Mao Qi felt a lot of pressure, he was afraid of failure, very, very afraid of failure, he was not a very resolute guy, he has always been famous for his resourcefulness.
Often, people with higher resourcefulness think a lot, and now Xiao Mao Qi is always thinking, what if this strategy also fails?
No way, it's not a question of confidence or not, but the big war has been fought here, and there have been too many cases of failure!
The previous Shi Liefen was like this, rushed over, and the result was ...... Fortunately, Sliefen is back, and the opponent also made a mistake, and after that...... Many times the battle plan did not really achieve the results they wanted, and this time......
As before, the previous process went according to its own ideas, for example, Russia stabbed a knife in the back and was beaten back by Germany, and this time, whether it is reasonable, war, or public opinion, Germany has crushed Russia to death, don't worry about the Eastern Front, you can put all the chips on the Western Front!
Yes, this is a big gamble, only this time it is not only the army in your hands, but also the national fortunes of the German Empire!
In fact, in the final analysis, the current war has entered the quagmire, and if it continues in such a stalemate, Germany's geographical position is weak, because there are really not many outlets to the sea, and the Pacific Empire has declared war, so if it is blocked, the German Empire can only be slaughtered, so ......
"Pass my orders, attack in three days!" (To be continued.) )
