"Nobody Sleeps Tonight" is the most famous aria in the famous Italian composer Giacomo Puccini's opera "Turandot" based on the fairy tale play, this aria sung by the tenor is set in the Tatar prince Calaf asks the princess Turandot to guess her identity, around this dumb riddle, the hero and heroine and the people around them can not sleep.

This is a monologue of the male protagonist containing love and confidence in victory, accompanied by affectionate singing, people are immersed in the prince's declaration of victory, imagining how the princess tosses and turns this night, and how restless she welcomes the sunrise the next day.

However, no matter how beautiful the sound is, no matter how tactful the plot is, once it is connected with killing and destruction, it will be like clear water dripping into ink, distorting into something completely unrecognizable.

For example, in the famous Vietnam War movie "Apocalypse Now", the US military helicopter formation used weapons of various calibers to deliver "democracy" to Vietnamese villages while playing "Flying Valkyrie" until there were no half living people. In the high-spirited female chorus, death, destruction and decadence are revealed. Not a single warrior who ascended to Valhalla.

With "Nobody Sleeps Tonight" as the background music for the large-scale indiscriminate bombing, the audience will indeed literally say that no one can sleep peacefully, but it is not moving. But under the distorted aesthetics of violence, I deeply feel that in the face of power and fate that cannot be resisted, there is no other way but to bow down and please the power, and under the intertwined emotions of helplessness, resentment, and unwillingness, people cannot close their eyes at all.

Whether you come up with the idea, you can still feel the beauty of it. They are all incorrigible war freaks, or monsters in human skin.

"War is not a game of tricks or heroes, war is a continuation of politics, and it is a magic mirror for people to recognize themselves and reality. After bathing in madness, bloodshed, and death, one will fully recognize one's own essence and transform into another form. The bombing was an important catalyst for a change in Charlemagne's mentality. ”

The red pupils reflected the dark bomber group, and the indifferent voice played notes without temperature in the air.

"Our goal is not to kill as many people as we want, nor to create panic to promote a politics of terror. Our goal is to destroy Charlemagne's spiritual totem, destroy their national spirit, and then domesticate them into loyal subjects. ”

What Li Lin said was not a lie.

Destroying the spiritual core of a nation and completely transforming a nation – such success stories also exist in modern times. For example, the transformation of Germany and Japan by the United States after World War II, such as the destruction of East Prussia.

It should be said that the United States has succeeded in transforming the two birthplaces of World War II, and this success is based on a moderate deterrence of force and a thorough spiritual and cultural transformation. Things like the atomic bomb, the garrison, the trial of war criminals, de-education, etc., are all quite successful reference cases, and the transformation of Germany is more profound than that of Japan. So much so that the German army that shocked Europe back then has now become a bunch of rookies, not to mention the war, whether it can fight street hooligans and foreign immigrants is a question (just recently there was news in Germany, there are 200 senior officers of the German Wehrmacht, including special forces, who are worried about national affairs, worried about whether the country will not generalize, and decided to follow the example of the Showa boys, punish the national thief, and slash a high-ranking government official. Not to mention that these people don't even know how to keep secrets, and not to mention that the Germans don't know what evil they are committing, there is no tradition in history that a military coup can succeed. As for the Wehrmacht's vote, the waste wood civil servant who is more wasted than the Heisei waste...... There was a real coup d'état, and it is estimated that half of the GIs below took out their mobile phones to take pictures or selfies, and the other half went back to the barracks to sleep and build lawns...... ）。

The transformation of Germany was so successful, not only due to the situation and policy, but also to a large extent due to the destruction of East Prussia.

As early as the Tehran Conference in 1943, the Allied triumvirate had already made a decision on the fate of East Prussia, they decided to relocate the inhabitants there, completely destroy this cradle of Prussian ****, and bury the Junker estate in the historical garbage heap along with the German officer corps. And when the vengeful Soviet Red Army arrived in East Prussia, they wiped out everything related to Germanism in this land, and the scorched earth that gave birth to Prussia **** was also divided by the Soviet Union, Poland, and Lithuania. Deprived of the core of their national spirit, the Germans began to turn to a new way of life and ideology, and eventually became what the United States wanted them to be.

Now what Alfheim is going to do is to do the same thing.

Of course, Li Lin did not intend to emulate the unbridled retaliation of the Soviet Red Army, and it was unnecessary and pointless to make the Wehrmacht a bestial machine that only knew how to kill, rob, destroy and rape. All he needed was fear and awe, not hatred for generations. Therefore, "moderate" strategic bombing is the most suitable option.

"Charlemagne will surely indulge in the sorrow of the loss of his homeland and spiritual totem, and all the calamities and destruction caused by this bombardment. This is an inevitable emotion, but more people have to face the fact that the destruction of these cities is the result of Charlemagne's ambition and conquest, especially the retribution for Charlemagne's cruelty to other people. Yes, why did the people of Reims, Orleans, Bourbon, and Lugdunum have to flee in such a hurry, and why did the ancient cities have to suffer destruction? All this can be traced back to Charlemagne's unjust war. Eventually, people will sigh and comment that everything is a melon and a bean and a bean. ”

In other words, this is still a public opinion orientation and intelligence operation.

"But—"

Brunhill on the side interjected:

"There will also be people who will attack us for being rude and barbaric, for the sake of showing force, wantonly destroying precious historical and cultural heritage, and is an immoral act. ”

"Morality?"

The dictator raised the corners of his mouth and curled into a smile that bordered on cruelty.

"The collective violence of war is inherently immoral. In addition, whether it is wartime law or international law, there is no problem that we have violated the law by giving advance advice and giving sufficient time to evacuate. If I had to respond to such frivolous accusations, I would tell them: Please give compassion to those who have been ravaged by Charlemagne. ”

- Exactly.

Brunhill nodded silently, sighing in his heart.

- The beast pounces on the live bait that is thrown in front of him, and the responsibility is not for the beast, nor on the live bait.

- If it is anyone's responsibility to pursue it, it must be the one who puts the living sacrifice in front of the hungry beast.

At 9:11 a.m., the giant flying-wing bomber opened its magazine in order, and the hybrid aviation incendiary bomb suspended on the rotating bomb rack was thrown out of the magazine and accelerated towards the empty city.
