579 – The German War (2)
The anti-Russian war is considered the worst war in history. This war is quite remarkable compared to other wars.
First of all, historically, there are many and many causes of war, but the extension of politics is the same.
And what you can get through war is territory, labor, funds, pride, etc. There are too many to overflow.
However, World War II, especially the war with Germany, was very different from other wars.
First of all, the mobilization of unprecedented large-scale troops, large-scale maneuver warfare, and crazy firepower, like the modifier of monster versus monster.
Finally, until the all-out war in which all the power of the country is poured. It was full of features that could not be left out.
A war in which everything in the country is literally poured out for one dictator. It clearly shows how far human madness can stretch.
In particular, it is a war that properly shows the madness of Nazi Germany. A war in which any action was tolerated in order to achieve Hitler’s wish, ‘Lebensraum’.
In normal warfare, labor is a very valuable resource and asset. War is a little easier if you just roll the labor you got from the war somewhere.
But Nazi Germany did not. As in Poland, Soviet people were mercilessly slaughtered.
Under the pretext of securing land for the Germanic people to live on. They were truly slaughtered without end.
[Mobilization of troops that makes your mouth drop open just by looking at it. Is this really possible or something?]
[It takes several months to train regular soldiers, but one month is enough for a soldier in blood and steel.]
[They are just ‘educated’ soldiers, not trained like knights. That is why large-scale military mobilization is possible.]
People were astonished to see the Soviet Union being overpowered in vain by Operation Barbarossa and the number of troops well over 2 million.
In this world, where the age of knights has not passed, it is only possible to collect 1 million soldiers by collecting troops. This is only possible in the Minerva Empire.
Even if it’s possible, there’s no guarantee that these troops will roll properly. To scrape together this amount in the first place means that the life and death of the country was at stake.
[The Soviet Union collapses helplessly. Due to the effects of the Great Purge, there is no good commander.]
[Stalin’s no-retreat order turned into tragedy.]
[Will the Soviet Union fall to the evil of Nazi Germany?]
Operation Barbarossa, coupled with the rubbish situation in the Soviet Union, had devastating results.
Thanks to Stalin’s excellent assist, it ended in a great victory for the Axis powers.
However, it is a tactical victory, not a strategic victory. From this point on, Hitler’s trolling began in earnest.
This will be shown gradually as it develops, and it is still in the early stages of the war against Germany. A time when Nazi Germany was pushing forward with great vigor.
[Nazi Germany exterminating other peoples to secure Lebensraum. Can I really say that this move is right? Absolutely not.]
[Nazi Germany is an obvious evil. An evil that no one can deny.]
[Signs began to show from the invasion of Poland, but it began to climax with the invasion of the Soviet Union.]
[It is common sense to keep prisoners alive even for the sake of securing labor. However, Nazi Germany is perpetrating massacres just for the sake of its people.]
It was also a time when massacres were eaten like meals. For this massacre, people, both you and I, blamed Hitler and Nazi Germany.
Nationalism and extremism that thoroughly exclude other peoples for the sake of one’s own people.
Totalitarianism that gives everything for the country.
Nevertheless, a patriot who never changes his love for his country.
All of this combined, Hitler was able to get a promotion, not a promotion, to the ‘Teenager’.
[I will support the Soviet Union. I’d rather be a monster than a demon.]
[How did Hitler become such a demon? Or was it like that from the beginning?]
[The process of the patriot’s degradation was so natural. He gained great strength with his own abilities, and even raised the collapsed homeland.]
Naturally, there were a lot of people who cursed Hitler one after another. To the extent that even those who were cheering for them turned around at once.
Fans have all become anti-fans, but I like it. Originally, villains are beings who live on criticism, criticism, and ridicule.
Blood and Steel, which used to be an ordinary royal road (?), has suddenly turned into a picaresque genre. That too naturally.
If it had fallen suddenly, the work itself would have been criticized, but thanks to the well-structured process, only Hitler is being cursed at.
[Privately, being an ordinary human being is the scary thing about him.]
[Even if people are ruthlessly slaughtered, animals, especially dogs, are terribly loved by humans.]
[In this situation, wouldn’t it be true madness to truly love one’s country?]
In fact, in private, Hitler is a fairly flexible and gentle person. It’s a problem because you do crazy things one after another.
Even the speeches with their unique accents are close to acting. The actual voice is quite low.
Anyway, these elements were combined, and now Hitler was being treated as ‘a 10-year-old who couldn’t be hated’.
Even though he was a wicked person, he was a model of human victory that came from the bottom, and his love for his country was sincere.
[I will support Hitler until the end. I have no intention of defending his wrongdoing, but I want to see what the end is like.]
[I’m curious about Hitler’s end. Will you admit all your mistakes, or will you remain a villain until the end?]
[The worldview of blood and steel will be peaceful only when Hitler dies.]
As the German-German War began, Hitler was able to establish himself as an obvious villain.
It’s a bonus that more people are looking forward to acting as villains rather than protagonists.
Criticism and criticism were pouring in, but there were not many people who cursed at the character itself.
As I feared, Hitler was turning into Darth Vader. Even though he is a villain, he is a character who attracts recognition with his unique charm.
[I’d rather have Hitler become a complete scoundrel. If you stop in the middle, your character will be further ruined.]
[For Nazi Germany, Hitler is a hero, but externally he is a clear villain.]
[Who will be the apostle of justice to stop his madness? uk? Soviet Union? USA?]
Also, the airflow has changed. As Hitler’s Nazi Germany became the ‘final boss’, he started looking for a country to deal with him.
Of course, the rival of Nazi Germany would point to the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union is currently in a state of exhilaration.
The United States also had to cross the sea, so it was impossible right now, and Britain is still babbling.
It is impossible to find a country that can really deal with Nazi Germany without washing its eyes. For now, that is.
[Wouldn’t it be possible if Japan, an ally of Nazi Germany, attacked the United States?]
Someone even made a prediction like that.
[Will Japan launch a preemptive strike against the United States because it is crazy? Currently, Japan is struggling with China alone.]
[Not only China, but as an ally of Nazi Germany, it is necessary to predict the match against the Soviet Union.]
[For Japan to attack the United States is equivalent to suicide.]
Everything was dismissed as nonsense. In terms of ‘common sense’, it is crazy for Japan to attack the United States.
People in this world have already grasped some of the capabilities of the United States through Lend-Lease, or Lend-Lease.
In addition, the Great Depression in the United States shook the world economy. It sounds like the US is holding the world economy tight.
Under these circumstances, would Japan attack the United States? Common sense makes no sense.
[The problem with Nazi Germany is madness. Madness makes enemies.]
[Supply and weather will also be variables. There is no invincibility in the world.]
For these reasons, people eagerly explored the weakness of Nazi Germany. How can I subdue this monster?
Until this time, Nazi Germany was treated as a ‘monster’ that did not collapse. At least not to the devil.
It caused a lot of massacre, but the specificity of war covered it to some extent.
But even this won’t last long. Because sooner or later the real devil will lurk.
To do so…
“So you want me to draw something like this?”
“Yes.”
“Do you really miss it?”
“Yes. Draw it.”
My fine o… No, Carlz the illustrator.
He looked at ‘some’ of my sketches and put on a look of agony.
They were together not only with sketches but also with contents related to painting, so the reaction is more shocking.
“Isaac.”
“Please speak.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to push a person into a pit and bury him alive?”
Carlz looked at my sketch and gave me heartfelt advice. But I shook my head and answered.
“Such a barbaric method would have been done long ago. Nazi Germany I think.”
“No. No matter how… At least this is just… No. It’s done.”
Carlz finally gave up on thinking. He stared at the sketch for a while, then asked weakly.
“······So what’s the title of this painting?
“It’s the title, I have something decided. It’s also the title of the episode.”
Perhaps the most famous name.
“Barbarism in the name of civilization.”
Alpha and Omega of the Holocaust.
“Death camp.”
The death camps will slowly reveal themselves.
*******
As the anti-Russian war began in earnest, people were once again drenched in blood and steel.
In particular, evaluations soared to the sky as Hitler and Nazi Germany, who were firmly believed as the main characters, turned into villains.
Even the previous work, Zenon’s life, gave a big shock, because it even established a new genre called picaresque. It is literally making history in the world of literature.
Of course, there are a lot of people who don’t like this kind of move. North, who was a literary giant before Zeno’s life, was one of them.
North drew the attention of many people by disparaging blood and steel and at the same time sending out developments that went against common sense.
If I attracted attention for a ridiculous reason, Isaac would naturally be interested, and I planned to attract it through that.
However, the problem is that the absurd development all came together. It was embarrassing to North and even to the organizations that looked after him.
Thanks to this, I was able to recover a little bit of my past reputation, but since it was far from the purpose, North had no choice but to be anxious.
So now that the war with Germany has broken out, I’ve been trying to pull aggro somehow…
“What the hell is going on in this bastard’s head?”
I had no choice but to reach the limits of my imagination. Now half-giving up, Nos peruses blood and steel.
He admired Isaac’s imagination even as he stuck out his tongue at the evil deeds of Nazi Germany, which committed massacres when he was bored.
Now I have no choice but to admit that, if it were me, I would not have even thought of such a thing. It just feels different.
‘Even if it’s like creating a world, it’s too vivid…’
Hitler and Nazi Germany are finely crafted settings. Not just Germany, but including each country and its leaders.
Even making crazy noises to attract aggro was proceeding with ‘probability’, so now I had no choice but to understand.
At first, I didn’t like the fact that Zenon’s biography was disparaged. But now it felt like an eye opener.
‘no. Not yet.’
That’s not to say it’s completely bent. North shook his head just as he was about to give in to his remaining pride.
Subsequently, he prepared paper and pens to be exported to the media.
Since the serialization of Blood and Steel has begun, you must resume your own activities. This was one of the contracts I had with the back ship.
We have to get Isaac out somehow. At the time of the Zenon Festival, it was difficult to even meet him because he was stuck in the Myshal estate.
‘You have to use your imagination as much as possible. Not with nonsense, but with the correct method.’
The goals of Nazi Germany have already been revealed. In order to secure Lebensraum, other peoples will be thoroughly trampled on.
And North thought. Wouldn’t it be possible to predict the method as brutally as possible?
As long as Nazi Germany has already turned into a perfect villain, everyone will nod their heads no matter what.
But North wasn’t satisfied with that. Beyond nodding your head, ‘It’s the devil! The devil has appeared!’
‘Should I dig a hole and put everything in it? no. weak with this Or a beheading showdown? This is what actually happened.’
The beheading confrontation is one of the genocidal acts in the past. It is a historical fact that can be said to be very medieval if it is medieval.
‘You have to think as cruelly as possible. Even so, the massacre must proceed…’
Is it because my hair has hardened as I get older? I tried to show ‘creativity’ somehow, but it wasn’t easy.
Ironically, these efforts further developed North’s creativity, but he himself was unaware of it.
‘You must slaughter people other than your own. The easiest way is… right! slaves! You can borrow the slave trade that took place in the past.’
North’s imagination was so brilliant that even Isaac admired it. In fact, the Holocaust was carried out in a similar way to the slave trade.
But this ends here too. North’s imagination was brilliant, but he was nothing more than ‘normal’.
‘I will use these slaves as labor force, and based on that, Nazi Germany will become more powerful.’
A really common sense idea.
‘Can the Soviet Union beat Nazi Germany? Wouldn’t that be impossible?’
It was the Second World War and the German War that all of that common sense collapsed.
“Sueup······ No matter how I look at it, it’s too cruel? This would give him goose bumps too.”
North, who underestimated human madness, folded the letter with a smile.
