455 Serpentine
In a building in the Tokyo area, rows of high-ranking members of the snake department in suits are gathered here, and all the participants are seated in a Japanese-style style, and everyone sits in the same posture and looks very disciplined. This is the unique culture of the people of the island country, because of the frequent natural disasters, so everyone is very dependent on the collective, so they are very accepting of the rules on the surface and consistent with everyone.
Of course, the dark side is that the collectives formed in Japan are superficially identical to the collectives, but the internal estrangements are hidden, and such collectives appear to be very exclusive.
In Japan, small collectives are used as social units, and it is very easy to learn from foreign countries in a comprehensive way. On this timeline, before the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese style studied Britain and Germany in its entirety, the navy learned from Britain, and the army learned from Germany, almost completely copied. It is almost extremely fast to complete the necessary social quality of industrialization. After the defeat of the 23-year war, the Soviet Russian model began to be fully grafted, and the entire social structure began to be rapidly copied towards Soviet Russia. (On the Meng throne timeline, Japan quickly copied the United States after World War II.) )
Among the various ethnic groups in the world, they can quickly replicate the social state of other peoples and complete the sharp turn of social transformation. This is because Japanese society has been based on small groups from ancient times to the present. When the upper echelons (the daimyos) gave orders, the small groups of society (villages) obeyed almost blindly, with almost no questioning. Of course, there is no room for questioning. In ancient Japan, questioning one's own clique was tantamount to seeking death, being abandoned by one's own village, and running away to another village, and the people in the village would always remember that person was an outsider. Small collectivism and xenophobia are twins.
As for Chinese society and Japanese society, it is completely different, Chinese are attached to the land, but there is still a certain degree of mobility, Guan Erye kills people in his hometown, and directly runs to other places to sell his life. As for the Water Margin, it is also like this, killing people locally and running to other places to change their faces. It's a small phenomenon. However, one detail shows that since ancient China, the collective has been less constrained by the individual. Everyone has room to think carefully.
As a result, the social transformation of China's modern history on the normal historical line cannot directly replicate the advanced social structures of other countries, because small groups such as village communities and clans cannot complete the replication of Western social structures like Japan. If it is forcibly reproduced, it will only lead to discordant interests of small social groups and centrifuge, so we can only aim at the successful social structure of the outside world, and then improve the system step by step, revise the social structure of the country to the target state, and revise it to a state in which everyone puts down their careful thinking and begins to recognize that the social state is consistent with their own interests.
The speed of change in Japan is extremely fast, which is an advantage, if there is an alien civilization in the world, and more advanced productive forces and advanced structures appear, they will defeat the earthlings. Among the earthlings, the Japanese must have changed more quickly and become the masters of the earth. It's a pity that on the earth server, everyone's social system is now at its peak.
Japan's disadvantage due to the total replication will also appear, and the disconnection of individual cultures and institutions in society due to the sudden grafting of social systems will gradually appear. This is the reason why people often say that the people of the island country are "perverted" (with inferior interests and hobbies) on the timeline of Meng, and these behaviors that are not in harmony with the modern spirit are actually the remnants of the culture of the past, because the speed of social transformation is too fast.
And now this group of snake members sitting together looks disciplined on the surface, but in fact, there are many factions inside. These factional struggles wrap the outer skin of modern material, in fact, they are the same as the feudal society in the village where two patriarchs compete for the right to rule the village.
It's just that when this kind of thing happened in China, it was the feudal era, everyone sat in the big mansion with red lanterns hanging high, the Zhang family and the Li family were fighting each other for business, taking care of the government, marrying to find allies, fighting openly and secretly, the heirs dug up each other's history, the second and third rooms fought for each other's interests, and the Quartet secretly tried to get rid of the big house.
And the Japanese family plays all this in a high-rise building, wearing a suit and leather shoes, going out to a helicopter and a yacht. It's very subtle when fighting. They even bow to each other, maintaining the etiquette of modern civilization.
On the electronic screen at the meeting, it was Uda, who had lost his soul, who was reporting the situation in Pudong to the bigwigs of the snake department in a dry tone, and Uda was now a standard bitter gourd face, because his faction was now letting him take the blame. As soon as the newest commissioner arrives, he will be escorted to the headquarters of the association. And now Shallow Sky has boarded the clipper and is heading towards the port of Pudong.
In the conference room, the strongest super body (anger) made by the snake department at this time was played, and within tens of seconds, the figure in the four halos was surrounded on the ground, and a beam of high-energy ion beams pushed the anger against the small dock, and was beaten into scum by the air-based artillery.
The entire conference room was still silent, and most of the participants were in light and shadow, so their deep breaths could not be heard. But if you look closely, everyone in the audience is full of shock, but everyone still maintains a sitting posture.
At the first seat of the Snake Society's General Assembly, the elders representing their own factions listened to the report in great silence and exchanged ideas with each other, and then one of the elders began to speak: "Everyone, in view of the divine descent phenomenon that occurred in Pudong yesterday, I propose to postpone the sixteenth, thirty-fifth, and sixty-seventh plans. Added research and development of special technology items corresponding to different abilities. In the ensuing vote, the approval of the funds for these transfer of research directions was quickly approved at the meeting. Although it is a democratic parliamentary system, Japan's social structure and culture have made it a republic that is negotiated by the bigwigs.
On the cruise ship of the Pudong Snake Department, after Uda finished reporting his work, he began to huddle in the room, drinking bottle after bottle of sake into his throat. The so-called drunkenness relieves a thousand sorrows, which is to use alcohol to anesthetize the nerves and relieve the feeling of hard work.
When Asakura wears a pair of 100,000 limited-edition leather boots, the sound of walking on the wooden floor continues to be transmitted clearly from far and near. The haggard Uda raised his head, and finally had some looks, and he said slowly, "You're here." ”
Asakura: "Tell me everything you've seen." ”
Uda showed a weird smile: "So can you tell me, what did you see in Pudong two years ago?" ”
Although the decadence of failure made Uda drink, but Uda's IQ did not look downline, two years ago Asakura came to this city, and then Asakura in two years, very concerned about Pudong. But he showed caution, and this time the shallow sky avoided the mission again.
Although he didn't understand anything before, but now that he deduces all the clues, Uda thinks that Asaka should understand the existence of Pudong (Lu An).
The shallow space is codenamed Time. is also a person with time ability, and once came to Pudong. And did you encounter anything at that time? will make the shallow sky have such vigilance! Uda sorted out his questions, and now asked about Asakura purposefully.
Asakura saw Uda's inquiry through the Eye of the Future, and a bracket smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Asakura, who was standing, looked down, glancing at Uda, whose hair was messy.
Asakura said in a poetic tone: "The goshawk and the stars are in the sky, but can the humans on the ground tell the difference?" ”
Uda grabbed something and said, "You really know." You are withholding information. Uh" Uda's voice stopped abruptly. Because the cold katana blade was pressed against his eyes. Not only did he hold his breath. Squeezed out a smile begging for mercy to the shallow space.
And Asakura also said with a smile: "I have indeed met him, and even talked to him, and he told me." In the eyes of mortals, they will only strive for the strongest. For the sake of the strongest, the second strongest will be sacrificed. Are you right? ”
Uda glanced at the blade and swallowed his saliva and asked, "You're right, those bastards of the patriarch can't tell the difference at all." Let's join forces. ”
Asakura didn't seem to pay attention to Uda's words at all and continued to smile and said: "You are chasing the strongest, and I am only chasing strong enough" and then said in a gentle tone: "Tell me, between me and him, what obstacles are there." ”
Uda's eyes widened suddenly, looking at the shallow sky. Then he seemed to be stimulated to laugh and said: "So you thought so, in that psychic connection, I didn't feel that he had any concern for the snake department, and part of the feeling for the snake department was that it seemed that he was using the emotions of only using the snake department, and it turned out that it was not me who was being used, but you (in fact, Lu An didn't confide in who used the snake department, and Tianyun was not interested), haha." Ha ha. It's a pity that you don't have any sense of presence at all. ”
"Whoosh", the spherical space door suddenly opened. A chopstick was inserted into his thigh. The smile remained the same, but it became cold. Uda suffers. Stopped talking.
Asakura still smiled and said, "I will let him know who is closest to him in this world." And now you should tell me everything you know before my patience wears off, by the way, the handling of you by the Chrysanthemum Knife is very interesting, do you want to know? ”
The wind on the sea surface was cool, but Uda's whole body was cold at this time, and the wine seemed to have turned into a cold sweat. Reveal all the information you know in the psychic connection.
And pulling the eyes away from the ship back to land at this time, the impact of the spiritual connection in Pudong City continues. Luan is gone, and what Luan has left is being dug up by all sides.
The university building, the dormitory where Lu An lived, and even the garbage dump where Lu An pondered, all the troops rushed to the scene, pulled up the boundary net, and loaded the bullets and strictly forbade idle people to approach. Now the army, the Tiger Ministry, as well as the local departments react extremely quickly. An agreement was quickly reached to block these "danger zones." ”
