Further casualties must be used to catch the clue - this is exactly what Takakawa thinks is different from this female officer. This is not to say that the facts described in this sentence are false, and it is difficult for anyone to guarantee that they will be able to get out of the shadowy enemy without casualties. Why are these enemies so fearful? It is precisely because they know that they are going to do things that are "evil" in their own concepts, but they can't snuff out that bad future in their infancy in advance.

If you have to be deeply aware of this fact in order to fight the other person, and if you think that "you can't let the other person hurt your own people no matter what" or even "as long as the person you care about is hurt, then you will lose", then you will become a loser from the beginning. It's not a question of whether the ideas are naïve, rather, they are not realistic.

However, after clarifying the factual basis that "oneself must have sacrifices," how to view one's own sacrifice is precisely what Takakawa considers to be the difference between "gentleness" and "coldness." Just like what the female officer did, and the thoughts that her words showed, were extremely cold in Takakawa's eyes. He felt that this woman had a natural view that "there will be sacrifices on their own", and although this must be the case, she did not have the slightest longing and expectation for the unreality of the naïve ideal of "there will be no sacrifices". She believes that sacrifice is normal, and based on this normality, she tries to make the most of the ensuing circumstances.

Takakawa never had the idea that "sacrifice is a matter of course".

The female officer will not have any emotional ups and downs for this "natural sacrifice", and Gao Chuan even believes that even if the person who is sacrificed is herself, she will not be moved at all, and he can believe that she is facing the sacrifice of course. Nerves were as hard as steel, and the nerves of that steel were made of the things she took for granted.

It is also an acknowledgment of the fact that "there will be sacrifices" and the idea that "every sacrifice must be made a brick to victory", but it is on a path full of sacrifices. Takakawa did not take these sacrifices for granted. He still longs for those unrealistically beautiful situations, and it is precisely because of his yearning for that kind of world that he has crawled out of countless failures and from the hell of infinite loops.

If everyone is bound to die, and death is the truth, then he hopes that the death that people will face is not described by the word "sacrifice", but a death full of tragedy and pain.

to "death" and "the way of death". People have all kinds of words, each of which describes the same outcome, but there are all kinds of differences between words, and these differences are due to people's subjective emotional feelings.

As many philosophers have argued, if death is a corollary, then at least let the process of death and the meaning of death included in people's self-perception not become a fixed explanation. Otherwise. There is no difference between a person who has a spirit and an intellect and a dead thing that has no intellect.

In Takakawa's conception. "Sacrifice" may be a fact and difficult to change, but it is never a compliment, nor is it ever taken for granted. How to think about "sacrifice" and use it as a starting point to do more - even if it is the same thing. However, just the difference in starting point is enough for Gao Chuan not to think that he and female officers are the same kind of people.

Gao Chuan can't say that he hates female officers. Nor do they see themselves as right and the other person's ideas as incorrect. He allowed female officers to act according to their own ideas, but that did not mean that he would sit idly by and watch the actions of female officers and do nothing himself.

It is true that the female officer controls the majority, which makes her represent the "majority", and she is indeed the core of a cohesive and close-knit team when the minority obeys the majority.

The Tactical Cooperation and Self-Renewal Committee, a nascent organization that already exists and cannot refute its raison d'être, will inevitably have strong control over the course of this plan for a long time. It is not right or wrong, but reasonable, and is the result of the entanglement of various factors in a particular case.

Takakawa does not deny the reasonableness of this result. It never occurred to me to dismantle this temporary organization set up by female officers.

It's just-

"I don't approve of deliberate sacrifices." Gao Chuan stared at the female officer's eyes very seriously and said, "I don't deny that there will be sacrifices, and those who sacrifice will let us catch the clues of the enemy." But that doesn't mean I'm in favor of deliberately sacrificing certain people to fish. If there is a sacrifice, I think it should be a situation that no one can save. It is a situation of necessity, not a matter of necessity. ”

"I understand that Mr. Takakawa has always been an idealist." The female officer did not back down, her eyes were still firm, as firm as Gao Chuan thought, "However, no matter whether the sacrifice is active or passive, forced or deliberate, it cannot change the fact that there must be very few people who can survive on this ship." Since so many people have to die, it is necessary to consider when and how to let them die to gain greater value. ”

"Your thoughts are a lot like the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion." Gao Chuan said calmly: "They just always think that death is inevitable, so they use a cold and rational thinking to measure the value of the way of death." So, I ask you, what is this so-called value? ”

"It's good for the whole." The female officer replied without hesitation: "This ship is bound to sink, as long as we ensure that Mr. Takakawa arrives in Australia, then the death of all the people on board is acceptable, on the other hand, under extreme conditions, ensuring that Mr. Takakawa arrives in Australia, and then letting everyone die, in exchange for the maximum loss of the Nazis, is the most valuable." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't agree with you." From the very beginning, Takakawa knew that the female officer would explain it this way, "This kind of value measurement is just your willful will." I am well aware that there was no intention for the sacrifice of everyone in this voyage, and the person who made the plan never intended to deliberately sacrifice everyone in exchange for what you call 'the maximum loss of the Nazis'. We all know that. A lot of people will die this time, maybe all of them, and it's an objective fact, not a subjective push - you know? Subjectivity and objectivity cannot be confused. The same sacrifice, the objective result, that is no way. And the subjective result is called murder. ”

The female officer was silent for a long time, but she still straightened her neck and said to Gao Chuan: "Regardless of whether subjectively it is murder or not, objectively, I still think that this kind of treatment is correct, the most efficient, and the most valuable." ”

"I don't talk to you about correctness, efficiency, and value." Takakawa thinks. If it was his former self, especially when the brain and hardware dominated his thoughts and emotions, he might have discussed this kind of thing with the other party, but now it is different, he feels that although death is the basis of facts, it is a whole person. People who possess emotions and intellect, no matter what. We should not look at the value of all things on the basis of a pure concept of death, because the so-called "death" of people is never objective and pure, nor should it be objective and pure.

Thereupon. He said to the female officer: "It doesn't matter if you think I'm a fool, an unreasonable, an idealist, a hypocrisy. I'm just going to tell you. If you are still a real soldier and a person with a conscience, then you should act according to the plan and not use your own ideas to distort or expand the meaning of the plan itself. It is the most meaningless thing to interpret the meaning of this plan and measure the value of your own thinking with your own thoughts. Because, from the very beginning, you were not a superior person, and you have never really looked at the global battlefield from the perspective of the overall situation -- you think that you have a far-sighted vision, but as a soldier, the information you can obtain from your position is actually limited, and I think you should understand that observing the overall situation without sufficient intelligence is not far-sighted at all. ”

The female officer was speechless, her tangled expression froze on her face, and she said for a long time: "I still hold on to my opinion." I don't think I've done anything wrong, sacrifice is inevitable......"

Takakawa interrupted her and said, "Yes, sacrifice is inevitable. However, the value of sacrifice is not up to us to decide. ”

"So, who should decide?" The female officer cross-examined.

"By the victims themselves." Takakawa said calmly, "I hope that if someone dies, it should not be the result of subjective oppression by someone, but the objective result of his own choice." That's where I'm most idealistic. ”

"I can't understand your thoughts, it's paradoxical." For the first time, the female officer showed a mocking look: "Mr. Takakawa, forgive me for being rude, when you say such things, do you really distinguish between subjectivity and objectivity?" I think you're trying to sever the connection between the two, and it's not the result of rational thinking. ”

"Yes, I never said that I was absolutely sane." Takakawa smiled calmly, "I became a hero, not because of what heroic deeds I did, but because of the things I did according to my own ideas, whether it was subjective or objective, and what kind of contradictions there were, and it was recognized as heroic, righteous, and valuable. ”

After a pause, he said to the female officer, "You know what? I've dreamed of being a hero since I was a child, but in the end, it's other people who determine whether I'm a hero or not - whether it's a hero for some, or a hero for all, and the only measure is not in myself or what I actually do. The hero is not the observer, but the result of being observed. ”

The female officer was silent again.

"Maybe you're disappointed that your hero is different from what you think, so you don't want to recognize me as a hero anymore." Takakawa said, "It doesn't matter. It's just that I'm definitely not going to give up on my ideas just because you approve of it or not. However, if you still recognize me as a hero awarded by the United Nations, then please consider my proposal, you can control their words and actions, but do not deliberately and actively sacrifice any of them. ”

"Even if we only need to sacrifice a few people, we can find out the enemy earlier and put us in an advantageous position, can't we do this?" The female officer asked after a while.

"Yes." Gao Chuan said without hesitation: "As you said, even if you find out the enemy earlier and put yourself in a relatively advantageous position, it can't change the result that most people here will die, right?" Of course, if you allow your own side to occupy an advantageous position, you can indeed allow the enemy to invest more troops and energy, but the plan never says that you should do everything possible to attract the enemy's attention, does it? On the other hand, if we go too far here, it will have the opposite effect, which is not impossible. Maybe such a statement is more comforting to you? ”

"In any case, it's not allowed?" The female officer said with a straight face.

"No, it's not a matter of what is allowed or not. It is you, not me, who controls the majority of people, who represents the majority of people. I am not qualified and incapable of dictating your thoughts and actions. Takakawa said, "We're just communicating. I also believe that since everyone is chosen and all sitting in the same boat, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. I speak my mind, you say yours, and then let those thoughts come to fruition in your head, rather than devolve into a life-and-death fight. I think that's the right thing to do. ”

"You're talking to me?" Although the female officer's tone was still heavy and full of emotion, Takakawa observed that she did not make any more body movements, "If I say no, what will you do?" Heroic Mr. Takakawa. ”

"Don't do it. I can't do anything, your consciousness walking is very controlled, you control most of the people, I can't fight you head-on no matter what. Takakawa said seriously: "I'm really helpless, no matter what I do, I won't get the best result." That's why I didn't do anything, I just sat here and used what I said. He smiled again, "Fighting has never been just a matter of hands and feet. ”

Talking cannon is of course a way to fight, and although many people don't like to just talk and not practice, it is also good if you can convince your opponent and win just by communicating. Takakawa has always thought so. It's just that in the mysterious world, there aren't too many situations where communication is allowed, or there is only one form of combat left for communication. Most of the time, hands-on is a more efficient and thorough way.

“…… I'll seriously consider it, Mr. Takakawa. The female officer was silent for a long time, straightened her hat, and replied. (To be continued.) )
