Until he settled in a port in Australia, Takakawa was thinking about the affairs of these tens of millions of people. Although the lieutenant general spoke in a euphemistic tone, Takakawa knew that the will he conveyed was not "hope", but "demand" and even "order". Of course, if you feel that the "order" is inappropriate, there is no problem if you want to refuse, there is no limit to who must do what, but you must be mentally prepared to bear the consequences of "refusal".
If you refuse to settle these 10 million people on the Three Immortals Island, the consequences can be imagined, even with the support of the netball, as bad as you can imagine. Moreover, Takakawa did not feel that the tennis ball club supported his refusal of this request. After the start of the Third World War, whether it is a mysterious organization such as Cyberball, or various governments, they have made preliminary estimates of the population loss of this war, and in the face of the conclusion that "more than 100 million people will die", if 10 million people can give one side of the war a greater advantage, just from a rational point of view, probably no one can refuse.
No, to put it more seriously, Gao Chuan also thought about refusing to resettle these 10 million people on the grounds that he couldn't bear to see 10 million people die, and the parties, including the Central Principality, were not held responsible. So, if you join this war with the incomplete combat effectiveness of Sanxian Island, will the total number of casualties caused by it be greater?
Gao Chuan assessed the role played by these tens of millions of people on the premise that he had a choice, and compared the losses that would result from not doing so on the premise that they would all die. Theoretical data are more inclined to the correctness of the policy decisions of the central principality, but this sentence has always lingered in Takakawa's mind: those losses that will theoretically increase over time have not actually happened, and the death of 10 million people is imminent.
Is it really correct to put in front of us the data that can only be counted after the end of the war, and to measure whether the lives of 10 million people in front of us are "worth it" in a hypothetical way, with a cold theory? And is the self thinking about this question rational or emotional? What kind of ideological standards are they that haunt their minds like ghosts and make them toss and turn?
What Gao Chuan wants to convince is only himself.
On this day, he fell into a deep sleep, and he felt that he had many dreams—for him, dreaming was never a good thing, because the prosthetic body did not dream, and the generation of dreams was more like some kind of mystery had begun to work, and the bringing of mystery often did not bring good results—however, when he woke up, he could not remember what he had dreamed, which was also extraordinary, because most dreams in the past were often clear after waking up, and even if they were not clear, at least a general outline remained, Make yourself aware that there are important things that are taking on the importance of dreams in the form of dreams. But this time, he didn't even remember the outline of the dream, he just felt that "I had many dreams", and he just had such a feeling.
The prosthetic body will not be restless, and those troubles that disturb people's dreams will always be eliminated by the brain and hardware at the first time. Takakawa felt that it was also an anomaly that he had many dreams but couldn't remember the outline of the dreams at all, but it was difficult to use his past experience to judge what kind of event it was. Compared to this possible sign, this tossing and turning is more like the average person, deeply troubled by certain things, which affects sleep - or, in a way, in fact, Takakawa is not very repulsive to this experience that is more like an ordinary person.
This experience of tossing and turning and not being able to sleep didn't bring too much trouble to Gao Chuan, let alone affect his state. The physical state of the prosthetic body also affects the mental state, and after the brain and hardware body cleans all the negative emotions, Takakawa's will is as clean and strong as his prosthetic body.
Even so, those things that have not yet been thought out will still come back like vigorous weeds until he gets an answer that satisfies him.
However, how many things in this world will definitely have their own satisfactory answers? Gao Chuan knew that because he was clear, he became more and more distressed.
He buried these troubles in the bottom of his heart, and no matter his actions or expressions, people would not see that he was in trouble. Although it was easy to talk to someone, he knew that he couldn't find the answer by telling someone—maybe someone would feel better, or maybe he would have found the answer, but he was not that kind of person.
Silence, thinking, troubles, no results, so on and so on, in the cycle to endure more strange and terrible and bizarre tests, to feel the pain of others, such a life will continue until one's death, and then, there will be a new "Takakawa" born, he will take over the current self, continue to be silent, thinking, troubled, and live in a cycle of no results, until a real end comes.
Sometimes, Takakawa also wonders, is this hell in another sense? As long as you think about it yourself, there will always be things in this world that you can't figure out, troublesome and painful choices. But not only themselves, but other people live like this, will they suffer for these pains, worry about these troubles, feel incorrigible for everything that goes on and on? There must be, otherwise, the teachings of the Doomsday Shinrikyo would not extend to the idea that all living beings are suffering. And with what kind of eyes would Father Edward, who saw "suffering as liberating", look at himself and others?
Fr. Edward...... That terrible former Apocalyptic Shinrikyo priest, in the intelligence, he had already gone to the Las Vegas repeater, and now that the young Takakawa had clearly triumphed, was he also dead? Same as the Four Heavenly Courtyard Gaconuts?
Takakawa looked at the sky and tried to imagine what was happening in the Las Vegas repeater, but it was hard to imagine even the slightest bit.
I really hope that my distress is not meaningless. Thinking so, Takakawa had already made a decision, because those various distressing choices based on assumptions could be made at any time if they were just philosophical, but when a decision had to be made about a situation that had already come to an end, then no matter how difficult it was, no matter how difficult it was, the decision that could not be chosen had to be made.
He understood why he could make a decision, obviously crying like this. The decision is not made because he has convinced himself, but only, things will not stop because he does not make a decision - the decision of the Central Principality, it doesn't matter what Gao Chuan thinks, refuses or not, the transfer of 10 million people is a huge project, and it has already begun at dawn. One-third of those who have left the island will re-land on the island, and this port is the first stop for them to land on the island again, and as the days go by, more people will come here and land on the island of Sanxian from all directions.
This time, the people entering the island will be subject to very strict identity checks to prevent those terrorists from getting anything to chance. In fact, Gao Chuan felt that if it weren't for the deliberate indulgence of the Central Duchy, it would have been impossible for those terrorists to stay on the island. The connivance of the Central Principality is more like treating them as one-time experiments, or bait, in short, it will certainly not be as simple as "business negligence".
Takakawa will spend a few more days in Australia, and perhaps return to the Central Principality, where he will be in two places to carry out some political social activities and propaganda as a United Nations war hero. Of course, as in the past, he only needs to show his face in front of the public and read one or several speeches that have already been prepared. And during these times, the Three Immortals Island will be redeployed, and when he enters as the controller again, the Three Immortals Island will erupt with a stronger force than the previous battle.
The battle between the Three Immortals Island and the Yellow Phenomenon is not only its first actual battle, but also a process of testing the results, and only after this time will the Central Duchy admit that the Three Immortals Island is ready to join the battlefield. The lieutenant general told Gao Chuan that the three immortals island had indeed only had a threatening effect when it was around Australia before, and the three immortals island at that time was not included in the official battle sequence at all.
However, after this time, everything will be different.
The lieutenant general has to deal with the landing of 10 million people on the island, and these people are not casual identities, nor will they come to the island casually and do casual things. Their role is to keep the Three Immortals Island running at full capacity, although it is similar to "the bigger the ship, the more crew is needed", but normal ships will not rely on the lives of their crews to provide power. And to become a helper to the Three Immortals Island, rather than a hindrance, the premeditated project of the Central Principality will inevitably have strict requirements for these tens of millions of people.
The problem for the lieutenant general to deal with is by no means easy, but, as he mentioned before, the people of the Whisperers have been taken to Australia, and Takakawa is now going to take a special car to the place where the Whisperers are staying. It wasn't a port, it was a front line, the front line where the Australian Front and the Nazis were fighting, and even though the fighting here was the mildest in the world, Takakawa couldn't help but worry about the Whisperers, who were just ordinary high school students before he left.
If they weren't members of the Whisperers, they would have been in safer bunkers like other civilians.
Sakiya, Hakkei, Shirai, Morino...... Who else? Takakawa thinks that these people are not the only whisperers, by the way, Omi? No, it's not. When he delved into the memories of the people and things related to the whisperers, except for the voices and smiles of the four people, everything else became blurred, as if there were and as if they were not, and even the things that the four people with the clearest memory had done began to become ambiguous—at the same time, he seemed to have done different things with them, which was simply impossible. Memories of different things get mixed up, and it's definitely not normal.
Is it because of changes in the world line? Gao Chuan couldn't help but think that although he didn't seem to be affected, in fact, the impact had already existed, and it wasn't obvious if it wasn't specific to the details?
The black sedan stopped outside the hotel door, and when he saw Gao Chuan, the driver shouted. Gao Chuan temporarily put aside his deposited thoughts, stepped forward quickly, said hello to the driver, and sat in the car. The driver had been instructed by the lieutenant general to know where to send the young man, and although the fighting on the front line was not fierce compared to other places, it was still the front line, not a place where ordinary people wanted and could go. From the place where Takakawa stayed for the night to reach the front line where the Whisperers were, it was necessary to pass through more than twenty checkpoints and more than a dozen camps that had been temporarily converted.
In order to ensure the safety of the port, the military control in this area is very strict, and if there are not enough correct procedures, if you want to walk around, you will become a corpse. During the drive, Takakawa saw the bodies of many people, not soldiers or Nazis, dressed like ordinary people, but rotting on both sides of the road. After the failure of the nuclear strike program on the moon, the earth's environment was once very harsh, and only in recent days has it shown signs of improvement, and in those days covered by radiation dust, even the rain was black, and these corpses dressed in civilian clothes, even when they were decomposed, were different from normal corpses.
"Sometimes there are people like that." The driver glanced at Gao Chuan from the rearview mirror, and when he saw that he was particularly concerned about the corpses, he said: "They don't believe the government's words, they must do it against the government, they did it secretly, and that's the end." But even if their fate is known, there will still be many who are reluctant to admit that this is a lesson. ”
"You mean, there are no innocents here?" Takakawa asked calmly.
"Innocent?" The driver shrugged his shoulders and gave him a disapproving expression, "Oh, that's too heavy for me." All I know is that they weren't supposed to run up at the wrong time in the first place. So far, even though the government has covered up many problems, it is still the one that responds the fastest, contributes the most, and saves the most lives when it comes to helping people. I don't think the actions and ideas that other organizations are doing better than the current government. ”
"I didn't say who was bad." Gao Chuan felt a little sad, "I just think that it would be good if there were fewer people who died." ”
"Ah, yes, I thought so too." The driver nodded and said, "But, none of us can do it, can we?" This is war. (To be continued.) )
