Great time travel

Chapter 100, Political Commissar Guo’s Iron Ambition
The sun is setting, and the afterglow is like fog.

Under the dazzling fire clouds, both the mountains and the sea were dyed a bright red.It looks like a dream, so unreal.

The last glimmer of the setting sun slanted down on the beach, blending with the mottled yellow sand.Waves of surging waves crashed against the tall and solid sea wall endlessly, rolled up countless broken white foam, and then receded slowly.

In a food stall on the reinforced concrete seawall, Li Wei and Political Commissar Guo sat face to face on simple plastic seats, enjoying a fairly sumptuous dinner while admiring the waves of the blue sea. Compared with the city of Arnus, where business travelers come and go from all over the world, cafes, restaurants, and food stalls are everywhere, there is no high-end recreational place in Torch Harbor, a highly militarized fortress port.Even if the landlord, political commissar Guo, treats guests to dinner, besides the canteen of the unit, he can only find this unique sea view food stall in the whole city.

However, the so-called eating the sea by the sea, in this unassuming food stall in Torch Port, all kinds of fresh seafood from other worlds listed on the menu, after some on-site cooking, taste really good.In addition to the two "special dishes" recommended by Professor Guo, fried sea lizard steak and giant spider crab, sea shells, sea cucumbers and sashimi seasoned with sour juice, as well as crystal clear and plump roe, are also delicious. move.In addition, some exotic fruits that disperse their seeds by sea currents also contain unexpected delicious tastes under their strong waterproof hard shells.

In order to entertain Li Wei, Commissar Guo opened a bottle of dark elf raspberry wine.However, perhaps because of "distance produces beauty", Li Wei is more interested in the seaweed wine brewed from local materials in Torch Harbor by the traversers.This stuff is brewed with a special local sugar-rich seaweed and a mixture of spices. It has a magnificent and luxurious lavender color and a subtle fishy smell, which makes Li Wei very addicted to drinking it.

"...Hehe, thank you for your hospitality! I didn't expect that there are so many high-quality delicacies in this place! It's a bit surprising!"

After drinking and eating, Li Wei slowly sipped the last curry seafood soup while chatting casually with Professor Guo, "...But what surprised me even more was your mobilization speech just now! Oh, really Exciting! But, isn’t this central idea a bit too intense and cruel? At first glance, it doesn’t sound like the words of an old party member, but rather like a warmonger who promotes militaristic ideas...”

"...Warm mongers? Why does this sound a bit awkward? When did Bolsheviks like us who claim to smash the old world be regarded as pacifists? I'm not the kind who hangs love and peace all day The little bourgeois on the lips..."

Political Commissar Guo curled his lips and said, "...I don't remember that when I was taking Marxist philosophy class, I preached that kind of white leftist thought."

"...But even so, the party and the country have been propagandizing that peace and development are the main theme of the times, and we must love peace?"

"...Hehe, how many years ago is that old calendar? At the latest in the nineteenth century, Europeans have been talking about their love for peace all day long, but then they killed people in the colonies, Fighting two bloody world wars in Europe?"

Commissar Guo blinked, "...Since the birth of human civilization, war and peace have been inseparable twins. Countries rise and fall in war, and civilizations are destroyed and revived in war. Without the cruelty of war, how can it seem How valuable is peace?"

"...Well, anyway, you have made up your mind to stay in this world. No matter how you promote and mobilize, whether you advocate fascism or feudal imperialism, or hedonism or anarchism, the country will not follow you too much entangled."

Li Wei spread his hands, and decided not to argue about this topic anymore—the Chinese people have always held high the habit of things that have nothing to do with them, whether they are individuals or the government, "...But, having said that, Political Commissar Guo, you are already so old, why do you still have such spirit, instead of enjoying the family happiness at home, you come together with young people to form a group to travel and conquer different worlds?"

"...how...how should I put this? In life, there are always some ideals and pursuits! Although in the end ideals still have to succumb to reality."

Political Commissar Guo raised his neck and took a sip of raspberry wine, and said lightly, "...In the past few decades, I have been burdened by a family and children. I can't just pursue my own happiness and pursue any dream regardless. Now Well, my wife has passed away, my son has already started a family, and even has grandchildren. In the world over there, there are not many things that I can worry about. Now that I have the opportunity to start from scratch in another world, then Simply take advantage of the fact that your body is still strong, and try your best to make a living, and it will be considered as a fulfillment of a wish..."

Speaking of this, he smiled and invited Li Wei, "...Do you want to stay together? With your rich experience of traveling to different worlds many times before, and as a senior traveler, you once served as a paladin in medieval Europe. Talking and laughing with the pope and the kings, having a difficult journey in Australia at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the legendary qualifications of a separatist force, it is absolutely easy to enter the leadership core of this "conquering army of foreign worlds"..."

"...I'll just forget it! War and death, famine and destruction, I've seen too many things like this. My heart is tired!"

Li Wei immediately waved his hand and refused, "...I don't know what it's like to travel through another world? Now, I just want to spend the rest of my life peacefully with my wife and children. Those who smashed the old world and ushered in a new era Let's leave the matter to more energetic and passionate young people!"

"...you are tired of wars and adventures, and have become peace-loving?" Professor Guo raised his eyebrows, "...if you don't want to, of course I won't force you, but... there is one thing, I I have to remind you, even if you stay on Earth, you may not escape the war!"

"...Uh? Political Commissar Guo, what do you mean by that? There won't be peace everywhere on earth, of course I know that. But..."

Li Wei frowned, "...As long as you don't go to those war-torn places, the peaceful environment in the country should be fine, right?"

"... Well, I don't know if you know that, as early as 1887, Engels predicted the outbreak of the First World War..."

Commissar Guo did not directly discuss this issue, but played with his wine glass and traced a long history, "... Engels wrote in his book at that time: 'For Prussia and Germany, apart from the World War There cannot be any other war than this. It will be a world war of unprecedented scale and intensity, with 800 to 1000 million soldiers killing each other while eating up all of Europe , more severe than locust swarms at any time. The devastation caused by the 30-year war was repeated in three or four years, and it spread throughout the entire continent. There were famines and plagues everywhere. Barbarization, the irremediable disarray of our artificial institutions of commerce, industry, and credit, the end of which is general bankruptcy, the collapse of the old state and its hereditary statecraft, so that crowns roll to the ground in piles And nobody took care of it'...At that time, all the European intellectuals who read Engels' article thought he was just scaremongering, and almost no one took it seriously. But decades later, Engels' prophecy came true up.

Engels was able to make such accurate predictions more than 20 years before the First World War, not because he was a prophet of some god, or because he had the shaman blood of a prophet, but because of his accurate understanding of the inherent flaws of the capitalist system. Judgment and precision deduction.

In the same way, I can also predict that in the near future, the largest human death event in history will inevitably erupt on the earth!Its form may be war, massacre, famine and plague, but it is more likely to be a combination of various disasters... because, with the level of technology, production capacity and distribution system currently possessed by mankind, it is almost impossible Let the earth sustain 100 billion people for a long time..."

PS: A recent anecdote, Nyingchi in Tibet is going to be built as a city, and the state says that the population on your plateau is not enough to meet the standard.Unexpectedly, Nyingchi changed the report to include the population of Northeast India, which is next door to southern Tibet—do you dare to say that southern Tibet is not our territory?Then the local population is naturally the population of Linzhi.Relevant departments were overwhelmed by it, but due to the issue of political correctness, there was no way to refute it. At present, Linzhi has successfully established a city.

In addition, I deeply mourn the death of Daisuke Sato, the author of "Apocalypse of the Academy". .In order to commemorate him, in the finale, please write more about the roles of Mr. Ju Chuan Shizuka and Nan Lixiang.Uh, maybe we should discuss with the writers who passed through "School of the Dead" and write a eulogy for "In memory of Daisuke Sato" together?
