421, Dog Eats Dog [1/3]
Under the effect of "Mantra Lasso", Steve poured beans into a bamboo tube and told his identity, mission, and experience.
"Dr. Poison is creating a grade of poison gas, and once she succeeds, Germany has new bargaining chips, and the war will not stop. I must return to London at once, hand over Dr. Poison's research notes to the big names in London, and stop the war from going on...... I beg you, help me, and send me back to London......"
Steve earnestly pleaded with the Amazon queen and the generals, under the noose of the truth, he could not lie, every word was from the bottom of his heart.
Queen Hippolyta was noncommittal and discussed it with the generals.
In the end, they came to the unanimous conclusion that the world war was not an alien invasion of the earth, but just a cannibalism among the humans on the earth, and it had nothing to do with them.
Letting Steve go is also impossible.
They were worried that after Steve left, he would bring people to attack Paradise Island. It's unlikely, but it's a precautionary measure.
Diana, however, objected.
"Mother, generals."
Her Royal Highness said very seriously: "I think this war that has swept all mankind has something to do with Ares. It is likely that Ares instigated the war. β
Queen Hippolyta said lightly: "So what? β
"We have to strike!" Diana said solemnly: "Take the warriors, go find Ares, deal with him, and put an end to this world war that has killed millions of people!" β
Queen Hippolyta said, "I will not allow an Amazonian warrior to leave Paradise Island. Humanity is insatiable and self-willingly degenerate, and even if Ares is eliminated, they will continue to kill each other. β
"No, Mother." Diana argued: "The human beings created by Zeus are brave, kind, and passionate, and it was Ares who bewitched them. As long as the cancer of Ares is eliminated, humanity will ......"
"Enough for Diana." Queen Hippolyta said, "The creation of mankind by Zeus is just a myth and legend. The gods have created only the lives of our Amazons. As for the humans from the outside...... Why don't you ask your lover and ask him, whether the humans of Eastern China were created by Zeus? β
"Uh......" Diana was stunned, and there was nothing to say for a while.
Ouyang Jing told her the myth of Nuwa's creation of man.
In Chinese mythology, it was the god Nuwa who created human beings, not her father, Zeus.
Queen Hippolyta continued: "Humans are not a perfect race created by God. They are fickle and easily corrupted. They never need anyone to be demagogic, just to satisfy their own desires, they can go to war at will.
"Diana, you remember, since ancient times, it has never been the evil gods or some foreign invaders who have killed humans the most, but the humans themselves. Such human beings do not deserve our help. β
With that, she stood up and left the palace chamber with the general and attendants, ending the argument.
In the conference hall, only Ouyang Jing, Diana, and Steve looked confused.
"Ouyang ......" Diana looked at Ouyang Jing pleadingly.
"Actually, there are some things that your mother said, and she is not wrong. Most of the time, human beings go to war just to satisfy their own desires. Except, of course, anti-aggression and anti-oppression wars. β
Ouyang Jing said lightly: "However, the essence of this world war is a civil war between the old empire and the emerging empire because of the uneven distribution of spoils.
"Their wars have nothing to do with justice and evil, but only to determine the ownership of the power to enslave and exploit the people of the world in the future. If Britain and France won, the old colonial powers will continue to control the whole world. If Germany and its allies win, Germany and its allies will dominate the world in the future.
"And whichever side wins, it's not a good thing for the colonized, exploited countries of the world. They will still be ruled and enslaved by the lords on high. With their blood and sweat, continue to feed the vampires who ride on their heads and make a fortune. Am I right, Mr. Steve? β
Steve was speechless.
As a spy, his level of knowledge and experience was enough to make him understand the nature of world wars.
His good nature, which courageously sacrificed for the innocent, also made it impossible for him to say negative things against his will.
However, he can't deny Ouyang Jing's remarks, he can still answer from another aspect:
"Sir, you are right, there is no good or evil in this world war, but only the competing interests of the colonizers. However, in this war, it is always the people at the bottom who suffer the most.
"The vast majority of soldiers are from civilians. They are fathers, husbands, and sons of families. Most of those who are persecuted and affected are civilians. Their homes have been burned, their loved ones have been killed, they have been displaced, they are starving, and yet they are powerless to resist......
"Sir, if the war continues, it will still be civilians who will continue to be harmed. Every day, or even every hour, of the war continues, thousands of civilians fall under artillery fire and die of hunger and cold.
"Innocent people should no longer lose their lives for this. The war must end as soon as possible. I beg you, sir, to let me go, to send me back to London, and I will do my best to find a way to prevent the German army from coming out of the gas and put an end to this great war that has swallowed millions of lives! β
Steve's remarks sounded very moving, but Ouyang Jing had a way to refute it.
Are the civilians affected by the war really innocent?
Could it be that those imperial civilians did not enjoy the benefits of colonization?
Could it be that in the Far East, those foreigners who ride on the heads of the Chinese to make a fortune are all nobles and lords of prominent birth?
Aren't the Imperial soldiers who burned, killed, and plundered in the colonies from civilian families?
Are those who work overtime in factories to provide the front line with guns, bullets, shells, quilts, uniforms, food...... Workers waiting for arms and supplies are not from civilian families?
It is not an anti-aggression or anti-oppression war for national and national independence. It's just a battle for hegemony between robber countries because of the uneven distribution of spoils, where are the innocents to speak of?
Today's Europe is not an old Europe of the 21st century where even refugees can't handle it.
Today's Europe is a "beautiful" era when colonial empires bullied the whole world.
Even Belgium, a small European country that was ravaged and devastated in the European war, has a vast colony in Africa and a concession in Tianjin, China, and is a first-class foreigner.
And Belgium in the Wonder Woman movie, it appears as a victim. Wonder Woman stepped on the battlefield to anger the German army in the first battle, in the Belgian battlefield, which was also the Ipper region where Ouyang Jing was located when he came to this world.
However, Ouyang Jing didn't bother to argue.
Even though the naΓ―ve Diana had been moved by Steve's description and thought it was necessary to save the innocent, Ouyang Jing still didn't bother to argue.
"Ouyang." Diana looked at Ouyang Jing and said seriously, "I want to go to Ares." β
She has been very assertive and stubborn since she was a child, even if Ouyang Jing disagrees, she will still leave Paradise Island to find and solve Ares.
Ouyang Jing would not oppose her.
Diana will see for herself.
She would know that even if Ares was killed, the humans would continue to fight and slaughter. She will see that even without God's demagogy, the imperialists will continue to oppress and exploit the whole world.
Then she will be deeply disappointed, like Wonder Woman in the cinematic universe.
But now, Diana is still very innocent and kind, and her concept will not change for a while until she sees everything with her own eyes.
She still believes that as long as Ares is defeated and the cancer that provokes war and demagogues humanity is killed, then human society can return to harmony.
So Ouyang Jing will not refute Steve's remarks, let alone oppose Diana's decision.
No language, no argument, is more convincing than the facts.
Ouyang Jing just bowed slightly, gave Diana a knightly salute, and smiled: "Your will, my mission." β
Diana smiled happily. ()
