Nine Songs of Anti-Japanese War

The sun is sunny and the shadows of the trees are dancing.

Paris walked under the long-lost bright sun and stepped onto the Champs-Elysées Avenue, and the tide of excitement in the heart was like a menacing but insufficient stamina wave. , then no more sound.This avenue is her heart, and she is familiar with every inch of its bones and every thread of blood; prosperity and abjection, romance and reality have all inadvertently left their marks in the passage of time, at the Arc de Triomphe, at the Place de la Concorde, and at the flags waving , and the moss that grows quietly in the sewer gaps.

However, my heart no longer belonged to me—it was this towering rock with a livid face that suddenly shattered her surging emotions.In exchange for freedom, equality and fraternity, the people sweated in the Bastille and shed blood in the streets and alleys for the eternal youth in their hearts[Note 1].Now blood and sweat evaporate in this bright, passionate sun, and the venom of festering boils nourishes the once capital of France, and the crowd is dizzy and disoriented in the sea of ​​poppies it irrigates.

Therefore I curse you, sunshine.

Curse your frivolity and oblivion, your lightness and splendor.Your touch only warms the surface, but your cold blood penetrates to the bone marrow.

...Curse you in the lowest and most vicious language I can think of.

"Seeing the sun again, how are you feeling?"

Hearing Weimar's hesitant question, Paris slowly loosened her clenched fists, hanging on the sides of the plain skirt she was wearing today.

"Very good. Thank you for coming to pick me up, Mr. Weimar. I am here waiting for the capital of the Third Reich. You don't need to accompany me, please go back."

She didn't want to express the meaning of expelling guests, but even the most simple peasant could hear the unfriendliness in it.She squinted at Weimar's face, typical Germanic blond hair and blue eyes, leaving a trace of the round outline of a teenager, but the expression of anxiety and hope that was intertwined when he promulgated the constitution in 1919 was never seen again【Note 2】 .Weimar shook his head, saying how disturbing he was, he would leave as soon as Berlin came, his complexion turned pale unconsciously.Paris suddenly sympathized with him—oh, the useless hypocrisy of the French!After being under house arrest for a year and just seeing the light of day again, the first thing she did when she came out was to sympathize with a German?

A military jeep drove towards them with a long stream of black smoke. The French police patrolling the street, the German soldiers wandering around, and the drunken citizens gave way one after another, and then returned to their usual life track.The adjutant opened the door, and Berlin got out of the car.He coincided with Paris, wearing only a simple shirt and trousers, with an iron cross on his chest, and his scissored eyebrows and eyes also rendered a soft meaning under the bright sunlight. Ordinary German military officers who go shopping at their leisure are no different.

"It's been a long time, Paris." Berlin nodded to Weimar, and Weimar saluted without him saying a word, jumped into the car and drove away, leaving the scene without even making eye contact.Berlin, when he never existed, continued: "We are very pleased to hear that you are willing to come forward to govern the city again. Although you are not the head of the French city now, your position is still very important. Your activities were restricted in the previous year. It is absolutely necessary."

Paris smiled reluctantly: "I didn't mean to blame you... I was emotionally unstable during those days, and releasing it would only make my country and people worse."

"Exactly. Everyone is happy now. When the transition period passes and the situation becomes more stable, we will have the opportunity to return the power to you."

"Are you serious?"

"I never lie in a situation where it's just the same kind. We've known each other for years, you know that."

"Yeah, I know. Power...it's not important. I've been ignorant for too long, and I should rest. I just worry about Vichy [Note 3], his body and bones can't bear the burden of the whole of France, I don't have the audacity to let it go. What's the current exchange rate between the franc and the mark?"

Berlin froze. "I don't know. I was in the Balkan battlefield some time ago, and I hurried over when I heard the news that you were going to come back."

"For my comeback, you came here to help me re-understand the political and economic situation of the government, but you told me that you didn't know? It's okay, it's not important, we can find a tavern to catch up on the old days, and come by the way Legal and polite robbery, let’s see how strong the purchasing power of the Deutsche Mark is [harmonious]—” Paris reached out and took out a silver coin from Berlin’s trouser pocket, put it on the thumbnail and popped it out, the silver coin refracted dazzling brilliance as it spun in mid-air.Berlin pursed his lower lip tightly and did not speak, allowing Paris to slip the silver coin back to him while smiling.

"Okay, no kidding. Speaking of the Balkans, you got Crete?"

"Yes. The Greek reinforcements sent by your pirate neighbors were a bit difficult, but we won."

"Congratulations. How is the view overlooking the Acropolis, is it beautiful?"

When it comes to Athens, Berlin is full of praise: "classical, elegant, and clean. Rome and I boarded the Acropolis together. He said that no matter how time passes, the center of ancient Greek civilization always gives him the supreme beauty."

"He's not ashamed of himself. After he said he would turn the Mediterranean Sea into an Italian lake again, and he joined hands with you to trample on the heart of Athens. Ha, don't be nervous, what have you got to do with me? It's not important. I just think Awkward—whether you like it or not, the ancient Greek mother’s milk has fed us, and we can’t forget the warmth of her cradle all the time for 2000 years. Are you not afraid of the cold when you treat your cradle like this?”

"Since the establishment of the Third Reich, we have cut off our nostalgia for the past. Whether it is the ancient Greek civilization of Athens or the Hebrew civilization of the Jews, we can survive more prosperously without them."

An overcrowded bus coming from Place de la Concorde interrupted their conversation.All the yellow satellites [Note 4] are pinned to the clothes of those passengers, men and women, old, weak, sick and disabled, everything is available.Paris turned her head to meet the eyes of a boy lying on the windowpane looking at the street. The horror in his eyes made her shudder, and she quickly looked away.

"So you treat them like that."

"I remember you didn't like Jews very much."

"Two things. I don't care anyway, it doesn't matter at all!" Paris raised her voice.The passers-by were briefly drawn to their eyes, and they all thought that there was something awkward between the couple and that things would get better soon.

look!Another middle-class French woman, who used to live a leisurely life without worrying about food and clothing, and now her husband is still in a dark prison, she couldn't bear the suffering of the food rationing system, and ran out to hook up with a German officer.Maybe it was the rations for their children, or maybe they were simply attracted by the German man they contemptuously called the "blond barbarian".Her strategy was fruitful. Her chestnut curly hair, not suffering from malnutrition, was smooth and shiny. She wore a dress of simple color but high-end fabrics. Paint on legs.She can also throw temper tantrums in the street, but her handsome Germanic lover doesn't talk back at all, and there is nothing he can do about her.

"Calm down... don't be misunderstood by them." Berlin whispered.

"Do you mind? Or do you think I'm not good enough for you, noblest Germanic race?"

"I don't think so. You are also excellent sons and daughters of Charlemagne, and you are as noble as the Germans." Berlin looked at the couples passing by on the street, and there were quite a few similar combinations. "The statistics just came out, the birth rate in your jurisdiction increased greatly in the first half of 1941. What do you think this means?"

"The wild seeds sown by you people are like the human heads after the Great Revolution. One by one, they rolled out of the belly of my female citizens. But they are much cuter, and the bloody smell is much lighter, and they will not let the cows walk around [Note 5] 】."

"You are talking about appearances. This statistic shows that you do not really reject us, and you are willing to integrate with us. In the past, we had to overwhelm tanks in order to gain living space. There will be no second time. The two nations will become one , to share a better tomorrow.”

This person just said that we have known each other for so many years; this person just said again, I never lie in front of the same kind.

"It's a pity that we preempted your living space before." Paris sighed sincerely, and put his palm on the side of Berlin's face, "I'm sorry... even if I fit together, I don't have that function. I have a crystallization that can prove the great friendship between the two countries. What."

Berlin took Paris's wrist as gently as possible and pulled it off.

"We'll discuss this matter later. I cleaned the bookcase a few days ago and found an old thing, not very old, a photo from more than ten years ago. I'll take it with me, do you want to see it?"

"In a hurry to catch up on the old days? Just take a look."

Berlin took out a black and white photo from his coat pocket.The iron flow of the armored troops was advancing unhurriedly. The Paris and Brussels badges and ribbons of the generals dressed in uniforms were all available, and they were surrounded by the guard of honor in the center of the iron flow.Paris is like a gallant rooster, holding its head high and talking and laughing happily with its female companions; Brussels is gracefully tilting its face slightly, listening.

That was after World War I, in 1923.Germany was overwhelmed by war trauma and huge reparations, was suffering from inflation, and heard the French and Belgian coalition forces marching into their vital Ruhr industrial area.They watched the armored vehicles swaggeringly occupying the industrial area, disarming and surrendering, and dared not speak out.

At that time, although the French Third Republic was scarred and its national power was greatly reduced, it still had vast overseas colonies and the most powerful army in Europe.The look of Paris in the photo is as powerful as her former homeland.

Now what?

now……

Paris lifted her eyes from the picture, staring at Berlin.Berlin was warning her, implicitly but also explicitly, not to go too far.

Her eyes became hot, and she endured it back.Brussels... may you be well over there in London.

"History is always surprisingly similar, isn't it?"

Peiping stayed in the mountain city for another two months before boarding the non-stop special plane.After the last unpleasant conversation in a villa in the suburbs, Nanjing heard the news and went to Chongqing to have another secret talk.This is what Xi'an told him, and the content of the secret talk can only be guessed.It is said that they sat for a whole day, and ran to Chengdu in the evening and knocked on the door patiently for 10 minutes before they walked out one after the other as if nothing had happened.

Looking out through the porthole, the blue sky is like washing, and the bright sun is like a brocade of thousands of miles, covering the endless white clouds.This magnificent sight did not relieve Beiping's physical reaction of headache and tinnitus at all.He still has intermittent correspondence with Tianjin. From the few words in Tianjin and his own physical condition, it can be imagined that his city has not been very good.

Chongqing's mentality of letting him go is estimated to be partly a deliberate indulgence and partly a fluke expectation.Chongqing defines itself as a leader in the rear, a temporary capital during the war years, and only hopes to restore the country. It is his duty to maintain the stability of the regime, but it is not his concern.Nanjing... When I saw him that evening, his expression was as usual, his clothes were neat, and he probably didn't fight.Of course, his city was thriving under the occupation of the Japanese and puppets, and it was recovering rapidly. If there was a fight, Chongqing might be beaten unilaterally, so there was no need to worry about him.

He raised his wrist to look at his watch.Finally, there was only an hour left, even though he had to get used to the foreign climate again after getting off the plane.

Airsickness is so severe.He smiled wryly.He dragged this body to deal with the people of the giant red country in the north, begging them to show mercy, and to stay a little farther and farther away from his oriental neighbors across the sea.Then prepare yourself.Think about what kind of person Comrade Moscow is and how will he be treated?

The first time we met was when he was on his way to follow the Mongol Empire, and he ran into Moscow who was still young.But he went back halfway, and it took a long time to learn the identity of the other party; the last meeting that was considered equal was at the negotiating table in Nerchinsk. Bleeding and flying in the air.At that time, he could speed up with the city lords outside the customs, and he would not feel tired after running long distances in the forest, sea and snow fields for several days. He looked at Moscow, which had grown into an adult figure long ago, and still didn't feel that it was very different from the children hundreds of years ago. .

...But the internal organs of the empire quietly began to fester before that moment.

If there were no strong boats and cannons from the foreigners, it would still be able to drag its heavy body for a while, for many, many years.It capsized after all, and he no longer had to endure the endless suffocation and stench on the throne.I still remember that in the negotiations with representatives of various countries after the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, Moscow showed its sharpness and hardly wanted to leave him an inch of foothold.

... But his sharpness has also exposed the internal turmoil in this big country.Soon, at the moment when World War I was in full swing, he changed his mind and withdrew.

The alliance headed by him has become a lot more friendly, and even tried to reform his greedy habits.Although the performance of these years is not likely to be successful, it is much easier to face the Soviet Union than to face Tsarist Russia.

Is it easy?

If only.

He was invited by Tokyo again after two years, set foot outside the main hall of the imperial palace again after more than 300 years, and met Yokohama, who was carrying a briefcase in his waist at the main entrance and kept a straight face as usual——Osaka had an intuition that something was wrong.

He could only bite the bullet and go in.The wooden structure building originally used for the shogun’s rest was burned down during the period of Emperor Meiji. Today’s green tiles, white walls and copper pillars are not very old. Walking through the willow shadows and flowers separated by them, the summer wind brings waterfalls The faint sound of running water was brand new, unfamiliar, and had nothing to do with him.Things that have nothing to do with him naturally can't stir the slightest ripple in his heart.

It turned out that he had no worries about this place for a long time.

On the way walking side by side, he and Yokohama praised the beauty of the inner garden. Yokohama replied, you know that it is beautiful, and it seems that you understand the aesthetics of imperial gardens. Why didn't you come here earlier?Among the brothers and sisters, apart from you, who hasn't seen the bamboo and chrysanthemum at the Huayin Pavilion and the new snow at the Shuangjin Pavilion?

You are too boring, can't you say less to spoil the atmosphere?Osaka retorted, thinking that he was just like the girl from Sendai two years ago.No, Sendai is still more interesting than Yokohama...

In October 1939, Nuomenkan.

"What a big grassland!" Osaka got off his horse and landed on the devastated land. "It's a pity that we came a little late, and we can't see its peaceful posture before the war..."

Sendai, whose arm was in a plaster cast and whose calf was wrapped in bandages, limped forward and gave him a crisp slap in the face.

"You knew it was coming! Japan and the Soviet Union have ceased fighting, but you knew it was coming!" The girl's delicate brows and eyes were stained with blood, and her loose bangs shook with her questioning every word, "Your division?" Isn’t it collective diarrhea? The illness hasn’t been cured yet, so you know it’s coming!” [Note 6] Osaka held his cheeks that were red and swollen instantly after being beaten: “Little sister, listen to me...they didn’t have collective diarrhea, they also had wind and cold. Dysentery, infectious diseases, etc... and my divisions are too scattered, unlike yours who are all concentrated in Hailar, it's my fault for walking slowly, but..."

"Don't fail! You just don't want to fight, you are a bunch of useless people! I deserve it for being on the front line in 4 days, and I deserve it for being bullied by Ulaanbaatar and Moscow!"

Sendai's eyes were red.She no longer had the energy to vent her oversaturated grievances, so she took two steps back, half sitting and half falling down beside the steel shell of the cannon's front car.

"What...Moscow is here too?"

"That's right! I'm here in July, and you don't even know about it if you want to watch the battle of his new favorite general... You'd be ashamed to have the name of the ancient Three Capitals and the giant city of the Warring States Period. You Hurry up and blow up your castle tower!"

Osaka sighed.It doesn't make much sense to provoke him with the castle tower. If Sendai built the city in the early years and had seen the ins and outs of the Toyotomi family building the castle tower, they wouldn't take such words as a threat. "I will consider your suggestion," he said, "but that will have to wait until I return home and ask His Majesty Tokyo for instructions."

"May Your Majesty chop you up on behalf of God Amaterasu." The girl knelt together, buried her face in her arms, and said in a breathless voice.

Before the Battle of Nomenkan, he had never heard of Sendai showing such a gaffe.This girl born at the end of the Warring States Period was slender and her eyes were clear. She caught up with the hard-won peace after more than 100 years of war since the Onin Rebellion. thrive in the shade.She is full of vigor and has traveled the Pacific Ocean with her family and crossed the Atlantic Ocean. In her world, there are no invincible obstacles.After the Restoration, she became familiar with the flames of war in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War.

Familiar with two victories...Osaka thought unemotionally, completely different from what I was familiar with, completely different from what I cared about.It's completely different from what I engraved in my heart.

"I'm sorry to cause you to lose, but the armored soldiers and tank soldiers of the Soviet army are really powerful. I couldn't put out the fire a few days ago. Fortunately, something happened in Eastern Europe, and neither Moscow nor Ulan Bator wanted to fight again. This may be a Signal, tell us to stay away from the Russians and Mongols." Osaka knelt down and stroked the girl's temples, "Don't cry, okay?"

"I didn't cry." Sendai said dully, still not looking up.

This border conflict between Manchuria and Mongolia ended with the victory of the Soviet-Mongolian Allied Forces and the disastrous defeat of the Kwantung Army.Afterwards, he reported the battle situation to Tokyo. In Tokyo, there were reports from the "New York Times" that lightly mocked the Soviet Union and Japan, and looked at Siberia and Lake Baikal on the strategic map for a long time. He said, let's change the direction.

His voice is also very understated, but it is not without regret in the ears of Osaka who have accommodated countless lies.

Your Excellency the capital didn't even look at him from the beginning to the end.

"I hope that in this battle, your division will be able to bring out the bravery of the police station in 33 years." 【Note 7】Osaka suddenly pulled out of his memories.This time, Tokyo stared at him intently, and even Yokohama looked at him as if they were researching a new type of germ weapon, which was really unbearable.

"Hey! I didn't participate in that incident. But my division is also the elite of the imperial army, so I always have self-esteem."

"Then I hope that this time you can sew back your self-esteem that is riddled with holes." Tokyo said, "I am willing to take the risk of letting the Fourth Division be the main attack. You must deploy within the scheduled time and do not be late. The city was taken down. Last time they set off an inexplicable fire, somehow they still tied with us, and it’s useless to play new tricks this time.”

"They have been on standby for a long time, and it is impossible to be late again. But in China to fight Changsha, is there any problem with the French South Indochina front?"

"We are well prepared. You take care of yourself and don't worry too much. Speaking of Nanyang, Yokohama, how is your publicity work doing?"

Yokohama responded and took out two sketches from his briefcase.One is a soldier of the imperial army breaking the chain lock, and the side script "Rise up, Asia, Japan is your liberator" in English, and the other is a French soldier standing and staring, and the slogan written in French is slightly longer , to the effect that the French army should stand with the Japanese army, just like Europe they chose to stand with Germany. [Note 8] "Recently, I heard that Paris, who was stubborn to death, has also returned, and he should be willing to cooperate with Berlin." Yokohama added, "The development of the situation is very beneficial to us."

"It couldn't be better... Europe is no more than an isolated island, and it doesn't matter if the Germans can't take it down. They and we have bigger fat and better prospects."

Tokyo squinted his eyes in a leisurely attitude of watching the fire from the other side, and slapped a confidential telegram on the table.Yokohama should have known about it a long time ago and didn't go forward.Osaka hurriedly read the strictly encrypted telegram sent through a special channel, his shocked glances replaced the questioning, and he swept towards Tokyo.

"For the greater good, certain things can only be obtained through betrayal... For thousands of years, this truth has not changed at all." Tokyo said casually, "If I had known earlier, I would not have fought that battle in 39 years. Osaka , you should be glad that someone finally came to help you avenge yourself."

Osaka nodded: "Yes, the fruit of betrayal is extremely sweet. For thousands of years, this has not changed."

Sure enough, he should blow up his own castle and set off gorgeous fireworks as a gift to Tokyo.

At night, Red Square becomes a pond of lights.Playing in the evening wind, cruising with laughter, the colorless and tasteless wind and sound are transformed into vivid elves after being rendered by the lights one by one.The most unforgettable thing is the red star standing proudly on the top of the Kremlin tower.They are soldiers echoing each other from afar, looking down at the colorful lights under their feet with unique honor, detached from the mundane world, they are the real masters of Red Square, and the supreme spiritual sustenance of the Soviet Union.

Moskva knocked twice on the door, pushed it open and entered.His heels sank into the fine pile of the carpet, and although he walked with awe-inspiring strides like a professional soldier, he made no sound.Walking to the viewing platform, he pulled out the finely crafted high-back chair and sat down slowly.The light floated on his pale blond hair, reflecting a blurred halo.

"You haven't slept yet?" Peiping asked.

"In the evening, I accidentally drank a cup of coffee as black tea, and couldn't sleep." Moscow smiled slightly, "I thought it was because of adding too much honey that it tasted that way. How about you? Our food is relatively simple, I'm afraid it won't suit you taste, give in."

What kind of taste is it that can drink a whole cup of coffee only to realize that it's not black tea...Moscow showed such a childish side, which made Peiping unconsciously compare with that aggressive man Xin Chounian.Two months later, Su Yibo was so angry that his wits disappeared [Note 9], and Peiping could only continue to live with resentment.By the way, St. Petersburg was the capital of Tsarist Russia at that time, but he didn't deal with Asian affairs very much. From the signing of the peace treaty to the establishment of the concession, Moscow had always been in charge. In 1924, the Soviet Union officially returned the Tianjin Russian Concession to the Beiyang government, and Moscow came to China again.According to Jinzi, for the first time, he felt that the blond old Maozi looked like an angel in their religious murals.

But they don't believe in religion anymore. Peiping told him that he might not be happy if you praised him like this.Tianjin stuck out his tongue, so I wouldn't say to my face that he cheated us so badly back then, so I wouldn't forgive him right away.

"No, you are very courteous, and you have taken care of every detail. We are so proud of ourselves. You see, even the embroidery on the tablecloth is exquisite, and it is a work of art." Peiping replied, referring to the previous The photo album that was still flipping through was moved to the left hand side, and he was in a conversation pose.

Moscow's eyes flicked. "Ah, you watched the 39 Nuomenkan..."

"Well. Especially in the Battle of Bayingchagang Mountain in July, I realized after watching that your troops and artillery are far behind the Japanese army. It can be said to be extremely unfavorable, but you returned with a big victory."

"Our armored tank corps had the upper hand, and General Zhukov seized the opportunity for them to cross the river to make a surprise attack. To be honest, I haven't found a general in the Red Army who is as good at raids as he is. Let’s go.” Moscow withdrew his inadvertently envious tone, “Fortunately, after this fight, the Japanese didn’t dare to harass the border, and the west also signed a treaty with Berlin in time. This is a rare era of peace and vigorous socialist construction. If you interrupt it, you can never make up for it.”

Peiping silently lowered his eyes.

"I'm sorry to make you more sad. Originally, your family is also developing at a high speed. Our experts have predicted that Japan will not dare to make fun of you ten years later. It's a pity that assumptions are assumptions after all..."

"You understand the purpose of my trip," Beiping said, "Can you tell me, how are they doing in Shenyang?"

"They are quite good. Resting with the troops from North Korea, sooner or later there will be a chance to show their talents." Moscow observed Beiping's expression, and without reading any extra information, he smiled, "What about Manchuria, you You can rest assured. We have a sharp and long-lasting geopolitical conflict with Japan, and it is impossible to make a complete reconciliation. It's just that the timing is too difficult to grasp... Our divisions on the Eastern Front have been transferred to the Western Front. If you want, you can do it tomorrow. I inspected a circle of motorized brigades stationed on the outskirts of the city."

"They're all on the western front?" Beiping was stunned for a moment, a huge amount of information flashed through his mind.

"Last month, we sent a delegation to visit Germany to talk about economic and trade cooperation." Moscow crossed his hands against the beautiful linear jaw, and said in a low voice, "I like the patience and meticulousness of the Germans, just as I like The flowers, red flags, and desserts they prepared for the delegation... But I don't like Berlin, and Berlin certainly doesn't like me. He and I are like our boss, how to hook shoulders and shoulders in front of the flashing lights [Note 10], all lights up Don't take it to heart."

"Who is the German you met this afternoon?"

"I'm not going to hide it... It's because of him that I drank coffee by mistake. He is actually a member of the Czech Communist Party [Harmony], and he came to report. He said that Germany will soon declare war on the Soviet Union, and the primary target is the fertile farmland in Ukraine. .”

"What do you think?"

"This is 'too bright to the heart'. The outside world speculates that we are going to fight, and I have heard it all. Before that, I always thought that the Axis powers gathered troops on the Eastern Front because they were afraid that we would strike first. But they did not Lite Island suffered a lot of losses in the First World War, and the monitored intelligence also showed that their elites are still in Western Europe. Most importantly, it is already summer, unless we are sure that our country will be captured within three months. Bad weather will make it impossible for their armored forces to move... So, the Germans will not go on the offensive this year."

Peiping recalled that both Washington and London had passed information on Germany's offensive plan to Moscow, but Moscow obviously didn't trust them. This was an enemy who had clamored to strangle the Soviet Union to death in its cradle, and was also sworn to death with him. .

Surrounded by a circle of eager enemies, Moscow's nerves are indeed quite strong.

"So, are you planning to prepare for defense in the second half of the year?"

"Exactly. The hard-won peace, the hard-won friendship..." Moscow said softly, as if fearing that they would be broken if he tried hard, "Even if it's an illusion, at least I can enjoy it for another half a year." ..."

The next day, Moscow invited him to the western suburbs of the city as promised.Through the lush forest, the wheat fields spread out, stretching their torso under the summer sun, waiting for another auspicious harvest autumn.

Young girls bent over, working in the wheat field.Bean-sized beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, reflecting the shadow of the cloudless blue sky, melting into the soil, and melting into the land that will soon bring people abundant food and hope.

They work hard, but their faces are ruddy, full of confidence in life.Peiping couldn't help turning his admiring eyes to them.His people could have enjoyed this beautiful life of working for freedom!

"Radio Moscow!"

Tianlong's towering loudspeaker suddenly sounded.

"Moscow Radio, now simulcast by National Radio..."

Moscow in the driver's seat turned the steering wheel and stopped the car.The broadcast was still coming out continuously, and the girls put down their work, left the wheat fields with inexplicable surprises, and ran towards the market town one after another.

They didn't follow.The physical abilities and five senses of urban avatars are stronger than humans, so this distance is not a problem.

"Although the Soviet Union and Germany have a "Non-Aggression Pact" and the Soviet government has always abided by the terms of the pact, the enemy still launched an attack on our country..."

Molotov's angry voice blared from the loudspeaker.

war!

---------------------------------

Note 1: Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic, is also an anthropomorphic expression of freedom and rationality.During World War II, she became a symbol of freedom against the Nazis, as opposed to the Vichy regime.

Note 2: In 1919, after Germany's defeat in World War I and the democratic revolution, the first constitution of the Republic was promulgated at the Constituent Assembly held in Weimar, known as the Weimar Constitution in history.By the time Hitler came to power in 1933, the constitution existed in name only.

Note 3: Vichy was originally a spa resort, where the puppet regime after France surrendered directly ruled the "free zone" that occupied about 3/5 of the French territory.Paris is in the "occupied zone".

注4：1941年9月6日起在德占区所有犹太人需佩戴黄色大卫星的标识。（故事中是1941年春末夏初，把时间提前了）

Note 5: After the French Revolution in 1789, thousands of people were executed on the guillotine in the Place de la Concorde. Legend has it that because of the strong smell of blood here, a herd of cows also detoured when they wanted to pass by.

Note 6: In May 1939, the Outer Mongolian Army and the Japanese Army sparked a war over the ownership of the triangular area from the west of Nuomenkan to the Halaha River. The army's disastrous defeat ended.

During the process, the Kwantung Army ordered the Sendai Division (Second Division) and the Osaka Division (Fourth Division) stationed in the northern part of the Puppet Manchukuo to send emergency reinforcements. The Sendai Division arrived within 4 days of urgent marching, but the Osaka Division was passive and sabotaged. After receiving the order, a large number of patients appeared. They marched for 8 days and countless people were left behind on the road. It was not until the news of the armistice that they speeded up and went to the front line.As a result, the Sendai Division was seriously injured, while the Osaka Division was unscathed.

This war was not taken seriously at the time, but it is generally believed that it made Japan abandon its northward policy and attack Nanyang, and finally became an enemy of the United States, which had a profound impact on the direction of World War II.

Note 7: Although the combat power of the Osaka Division is not strong, it still has a brave side. In 1933, Matsui, a second-class soldier of the division, ran a red light in the center of Osaka and clashed with the police. In order to "maintain the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army", the division commander led his troops to smash the police station, which was known as the "Osaka Go-Stop Incident" in history.

Note 8: In the process of Japan's southward advance, "liberation" and "aggression" went hand in hand, it publicized the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and had close contact with national independence leaders of various countries.

Note 9: In September 1901, Li Hongzhang signed the Xin Chou Treaty on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, and died in Beijing Xianliang Temple in November.

Note 10: Please refer to the wedding photos of friends Heathki in the newspaper XDD I can’t find it on the Internet. It’s a pity...

The last broadcast can be found in the Soviet novel "The Seagull", where the author ended the first part of the novel, and then wrote about the seagull's fighting life until its sacrifice.

The author has something to say:

The background of this chapter is explained in the notes, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t read nonsense.

The first part is to use Paris to reflect the situation of similar surrender and occupied areas.They may not have been trampled and plundered on the surface, and there is even a source saying that "Paris under the German occupation is like a grand party", but the pain in it can only be understood by those who feel it personally.The virulence of aggression is sometimes not obvious, and the cruelty of war is not only calculated by casualties.Looking back on World War II, it was glorious and unyielding to Britain, but it was shameful and unbearable to France.I returned to aph in the first two months and fell into the abyss of France, which will inevitably be reflected in the city == In my mind, Paris always has a proud and solid heart, which can be occupied, but cannot really be broken.So Paris is the mental attacker. Even if it falls to the bottom now, it will counterattack sooner or later, um.

In the Japanese part, we mainly review the Battle of Nomenkan. After all, until 1945, before the Red Army attacked the Puppet Manchukuo, there was no war between Japan and the Soviet Union. It is a key reason.By the way, it leads to the second battle of Changsha. When referring to the past of Tokyo and Osaka, I always feel that Osaka has a psychological shadow after the destruction of Toyotomi. Since then, I have been too lazy to fight and concentrate on doing business. Performance-＿,-When I was conceiving, I wanted to write a short story about Edo/Osaka. Orz, the Soviet-German war broke out in the end.It's very subtle, it's not cute cp now
