One hundred and fifty-six, this absurd world of black miasma (II)
In response to the ridicule of Admiral Seckert and the German advisory group, Kinkina could only smile wryly and was speechless.
In fact, the horror and shock that surged in her heart at this time were not much worse than those of the leaders of the Red Army.
If the evidence is not conclusive, Jin Qina will only think that Li De's "fake consultant" charge is an April Fool's joke.
- Comrade Wang Ming, who is far away in Moscow, what kind of person are you? was able to boldly set up a deception to play Stalin in the Soviet Union with so many cattle in our party, and even Li De, who was a "prop", did not seem to know that he was a fake......
Alas, on this smoky miasma, it is really more absurd than fiction!
Because novels also need a minimum of rationality, so as not to be slapped in the face by readers, and reality does not need any so-called "rationality" at all!
Previously, Ms. Jinjina had always felt that Hitler and Hideki Tojo, two warmongers, who dared to challenge the whole Shijie with the strength of one country, should be the most deadly people in this era. Who knows that compared with Comrade Wang Ming of our party, that Jane is just a firefly competing with the bright moon!
-- Moscow, which was in the era of the "Great Purge" of the Soviet Union and was always permeated with an atmosphere of terror, did not have a single soldier in its hands, and saw that all the high-ranking and powerful fathers of the Red Revolution were imprisoned in Siberian labor camps or even secretly shot for some inexplicable crimes, but they still had the audacity to deceive and conceal the "Comintern Directives" and even falsify the "Kremlin Instructions" while remotely controlling the domestic situation from thousands of kilometers away. While playing with Comrade Stalin like a fool...... Even after the conspiracy was revealed, in order to prevent the party's image from collapsing from within, everyone still had to pinch their noses and secretly cover his lies. Zuihou even let him end up with a good death!
What is a master of death? This is the master of death! After dying to such a state, you can't even die if you want to die!
She thought to herself, and at the same time felt that the farce that had happened at the airport today might have a detrimental effect on what was going on.
Sure enough, as soon as Ms. Jinchina said the reason for the invitation, she hoped that people from all over the world would witness the third attack on Japan by the Red Army's "powerful secret weapon" in Shanghai, which immediately aroused the ridicule of everyone in the German advisory group.
ββ¦β¦ Beautiful lady, or former princess. Please forgive us for being rude. We've already witnessed an unbelievable April Fool's joke today, so are we going to see another even more ridiculous trick next? β
General Falkenhausen said casually as he sipped his coffee nonchalantly. ββ¦β¦ The leader of your Chinese Bolshevik organization, while forging the official letter of appointment of the Soviets, at the same time exalted a certain deserter of our country as a military adviser, and insisted on entrusting him with all the troops at hand. Use the private as a marshal. Zuihou fought the battle to a shattered pulp and almost wiped out the entire army...... Such a thing is ridiculous enough.
Now it is hard to run and crush Mr. Chiang Kai-shek's government army, but in one breath to offend Britain, France, the United States and Japan, it is simply a self-defeating rhythm - well, even if you are powerful, plus lucky, even if you are the enemy of most of Shijie. was still able to win one after another, and even captured Nanjing...... But he still refuses to be satisfied. If you insist on saying that the natural disasters that have befallen Japan are the work of some of your secret weapons, and that you are taking the credit of God on yourself, how should people evaluate this?
In fact, when we were in Nanjing, we had already heard a lot of people in religious circles boasting that the catastrophe that had occurred in Japan was due to their casting of spells and sacrifices, and that there were people who actually worshipped them...... And the Judgment of Doom, which you sang in aria on the radio, I have already heard on the radio, so I don't have to bother you to perform it again now, Miss Bolshevik Witch ......, who made a makeshift cameo," said General Falkenhausen with a mocking smile on his lips.
ββ¦β¦ In fact, I'd rather know more about your legendary 'devil's rocket' that tracks planes on its own, and this strange flying machine with a propeller mounted on the top, and ......"
He paused, then stared at Jinchina solemnly, "...... Who are you? Where did all this stuff come from? β

In many cases, all kinds of obscurantism and superstition are not as far away from us as we think.
In the thirties of the twentieth century, it seemed to be a rational era that bid farewell to theocracy, and the dazzling light of science had successfully dispelled all kinds of ignorance and superstition, illuminating the vast majority of civilizations...... Well, on the whole, it can probably be said that way!
But when it comes to a specific region or a certain group of people, I'm afraid it's not so optimistic.
At this time, the countrymen of Eastern Europe also believed that if there was a bad omen in the family and a child was suffering from a strange fever, the family cemetery should be opened, the blood of the deceased who had recently died should be taken out and distributed to the family for consumption β thus leading to the spread of vampire legends.
At this time, two of the most cult branches of Christianity, Mormonism and Voodoo, were expanding aggressively in the "civilized" Americas.
In this era, spiritism was regarded as a fashionable "new science" by Western European and American countries, and phrenologists and sΓ©ances became the guests of high-ranking government officials as high-tech talents. They used sticks and pendants to divinate wars, summoned messengers from heaven and hell, and answered questions for the magnates. Even in the second half of the 20th century, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, American intelligence agencies were still hiring gypsy witches to use crystal balls to predict the location of Soviet nuclear submarines, and the Malaysian government in the 21st century was also spending public money to hire wizards to cast spells to find missing civil airliners.
As for the Republic of China, where the soil of feudal superstition is deeper, it is even more miserable...... After experiencing the Ming and Qing Dynasty rulers round after round of blows, all kinds of feudal sects ushered in a new era of prosperity, all kinds of incense halls and Luan altars are like mushrooms after the rain, scattered in every corner of China from the southwest to the northeast. I don't know how many gods and gods are chattering about the monks and "gods" who are flattering and licking the eggs of the warlords: Liu Xiang, the "Taoist marshal" who sent his cronies and Taoist priests to form 5,000 "divine soldiers"; Tang Shengzhi, the "Buddhist general" who ordered the whole army to be ordained to recite Buddhist scriptures, has shrouded this chaotic world of dispersion with a layer of smoky miasma.
In addition to the Chinese, even Vietnamese, Koreans, and Japanese are interested in such "traditional Chinese cultural heritage" β the Japanese set up an altar in Beiping, and wrote to invite immortals; Koreans are consistently accepted in the Northeast. The teachings of the Tao declare himself to be the incarnation of the Emperor Zhenwu; The Vietnamese founded the Cao Dai religion and worshipped Sun Yat-sen as a god...... It has become a scenery of the East Asian continent in this era.
In such an era when the light of reason is beginning to emerge and the chaos and ignorance are still dissipated, even those high-level literati who flaunt atheism, in addition to writing and promoting Western democracy and science, are also asking monks to pray for blessings, Taoist priests to fight Jiao and get rid of acne, and even sit under the Luan altar for a while, listening to "Fu Luan Sheng" under the pretense of a childless old mother, nonsense about the torture of the underworld, in order to obtain some kind of moral sadism satisfaction.
Therefore, if the explosion of the first nuclear bomb in Sasebo caught many gods off guard, it was not until the second mushroom cloud bloomed at the top of Mt. Fuji that turned this "sacred mountain" of the Japanese nation into a source of death and disaster...... This was followed by a great flood of mysticism in Peiping, Wuhan, Nanjing, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and even in the Soviet base areas of Shanghai!
- Not only all kinds of local gods have attributed this to the divine power of the lifeless old mother, Maitreya Buddha, Zhenwu Emperor and Vajra Bodhisattva, and persuaded the "patriotic masses" to enthusiastically donate incense money; Even the well-informed old lamas who traveled between Han and Tibet attributed it to their subtle Tibetan secret teachings. There are even some "indigenous" missionaries who speak of it as the heavenly punishment of Jesus Christ!
In addition, there are some book fans who are also the owners of the pearl building, and they actually think that this is the Shushan Sword Immortal releasing the Divine Thunder Method on Mount Fuji!
According to the information collected by the underground party organizations, at this moment in Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Changsha, Fuzhou and other places, there are already clowns dressed in fancy clothes, dressed up as gods and Buddhas, and spreading posters along the streets that "the sun of divine power will be destroyed". Living lamas from Tibet have also built huge mandalas and delicate offering cakes made of ghee and glutinous rice cakes to seek the power of Kalachakra and Padmasambhava to defeat the enemy.
As a result, all kinds of strange rumors created by the feudal superstition Shili in the whole society will plunge the whole of China into an irrational riot. Not only the people at the bottom fell into a natural confusion, but even some of the intellectuals of the upper class were no exception...... In this case, the "extermination order" issued by the Shanghai Soviet government through the radio station was like a drop of water in the sea, which did not stir up any wind and waves at all!
As a result, not only did the ignorant German advisory group scoff at Jinchina's claim of a "powerful secret weapon", but even the Soviet commissioners who knew some of the secrets were cautiously skeptical about the matter, because the two unprecedented catastrophes that had occurred in Japan had far exceeded the limits of their imagination of the destructive power of any weapon: in Europe, where there were many small countries, such weapons would be enough to destroy the country!
For this reason, Wang Qiu had to explain the doubts of the Soviet guests with the help of a translator: "...... Comrades from the Soviet Union, we do not need to fight the enemy with lies, are the facts before us not strong enough? Spreading rumors to confuse the public is at most just satisfying the need to vent anger for a while. The imperialist enemy cannot be defeated by mouth artillery alone, and the victory of the revolution can only be won by real force......"
Kinchina's answer to the German advisory group was more succinct: "...... If you don't believe me, look forward to tomorrow's launch! (To be continued......)
