685 – Tallulah(1)
[If I had foreseen Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I would have tore up the formula I wrote in 1905.]
This is a story told by Albert Einstein, a theoretical physicist who further developed physics with Newton.
The Manhattan Project was supported to prevent Nazi Germany from inventing nuclear weapons, but the result, as everyone knows, is a disaster itself.
If nuclear weapons were nothing more than ‘strong’ bombs, neither Einstein nor Oppenheimer would have said anything self-deprecating.
However, the power of the nuclear weapons dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was beyond imagination.
It is safe to say that it has far surpassed natural disasters and is the only case where humans have overcome nature.
[Over 200,000 people died from just two feet. What’s scarier is that you can make more of these bombs.]
[The power to destroy the world was invented by mankind.]
When the ignorant destructive power and the resulting enormous damage were revealed, the people of this world were shocked and denied it at the same time.
No matter how strong the bomb is, is that possible? Is it possible for a city to be destroyed and 100,000 people to die in one bomb?
It is a world that is just entering the modern age, but the total population is close to 2 billion. Of these, more than half are occupied by humans.
The reason this is possible is because the continent is generally rich. In particular, Albenheim has a reputation for being a land flowing with honey and milk.
As a result of this, a large city inevitably has a high population density. Let’s imagine that an atomic bomb is dropped on it.
No matter how strong the Minerva Empire is, the entire country will be paralyzed. A small country is virtually certain to perish.
[Japan kicked the opportunity by itself. Had the Potsdam Conference been accepted, this would not have happened.]
[I committed the ridiculous thing of 100 million prison sentences. Furthermore, America’s hatred was beyond imagination.]
[Still, it is a clear crime to massacre innocent civilians.]
[The United States clearly warned. What was ignored was the Japanese Empire.]
There has been a lot of controversy over the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Anyway, there must be a lot of talk about it because it was a natural disaster-level destructive force that mankind directly did. It’s a little exaggerated, so it’s like he directly carried out ‘God’s punishment’.
Of course, if God decides to cause an earthquake, it can show more destructive power than an atomic bomb. However, that is practically equivalent to ‘destruction’.
[If you look at Japan’s madness, the war should have ended early. Didn’t a terrible cannibalism even occur in February?]
Still, people are thinking that the Japanese Empire got hit because they did something right.
In particular, six months before the atomic bombing, ‘Chichishima Island Cannibal Incident’ occurred, so I shook my head.
For people to eat cannibals, it only happens in ancient cultures or in desperate situations, but in that case, cannibalism was just for ‘fun’.
Because cannibalism was absolutely unacceptable even to the people of this world, they were busy criticizing Japan.
After that, most of the public opinion was that it deserved to be hit by nuclear weapons as various incidents and accidents overlapped.
[It might be fortunate. If Japan had endured again, it would have received a third nuclear strike.]
[It imprinted that there are various types of human madness. Nazi Germany was a thorough calculation, and the Japanese Empire was barbaric.]
But whatever.
[August 15, 1945. The Japanese Empire surrenders.]
[September 2, 1945. The world war that drove the world into madness ends.]
The war is over.
After being hit by two atomic bombs, and the Soviet army rushing in from above, even the Japanese Empire had no choice but to surrender.
So land, sea, sky and so on. World War II, when the entire world was a battlefield regardless of land, sea, and air, was over.
Both Allied and Axis forces suffered terrible losses, and the scars are etched into history. It is a scar that humanity will carry for the rest of its life.
[War deadline: September 1, 1939 – September 2, 1945]
[Total casualties: over 73 million, including civilians.]
[Amount of damage and total cost: more than 1 trillion dollars.]
At that time, the population was close to 2 billion, similar to the world. However, more than 70 million people were killed or injured in the war alone.
If World War I is added together, it will reach 100 million. Just two wars destroyed 10% of the world’s population.
[The casualties of the tribal war are approximately 3 million. However, blood and steel caused more than 20 times more casualties in one war.]
[An example of technological advancement is not necessarily good. The invention of technology is to increase destructive power.]
[I hope that those weapons will not be aimed at mankind.]
If I hadn’t revealed my identity until now, ‘A. Do not lie. A fantasy is a fantasy.”
But after revealing his identity, it’s not at all. I was astonished that, if nothing else, we had to stop a war like this.
It is an era in which people do not hesitate to go to war for the sake of their own country, but they were afraid to show the climax in a book.
[What’s even more unfortunate is that blood and steel are nothing more than ‘restraint’. More than half of human history has been filled with war.]
[Currently, devil worshipers serve as public enemies, much like Nazi Germany. But what about after the devil worshipers are gone? How will it be?]
[After all, mankind is a group that moves for its own benefit. There is no eternal peace, and it is natural to prepare for war.]
However, humans are social animals and are selfish at the same time. As critics say, blood and steel will be nothing more than a deterrent.
From noble mtl dot com
Wasn’t a similar incident almost happening in Sarajevo not too long ago? If things had gone according to fate, the whole world would have been engulfed in fire.
Even though I stopped it, Starbirk was driven to the brink of destruction. When you see this, if you hold on to justification, war is inevitable.
It is not for nothing that the god of war exists unconditionally in mythology. For mankind, war is an inevitable fate.
[The hellish war is over. But is this really the end?]
[Red Army symbolizing the Soviet Union. A giant symbol of America. There must be a reason why these two were published separately.]
[The war is over, but the public enemy is gone, and international relations are not so smooth.]
Also, even after the war was over, people expected what would happen after that. That’s also the case, so I’ve been spraying rice cakes and foreshadowing.
In the first place, it started by dividing the Red Army and the giants separately. At the time, they were in a situation where they were excitedly robbed by the Axis powers.
What they have in common is that they grow up quickly and eventually succeed in revenge. It is a bonus to rise to the position of the strongest country.
Since time immemorial, if new powers are created, conflicts will arise. Even the ideas are contradictory.
In other words, the possibility of another war is high. A reviewer summed it up well.
So how did it go?
[Blood and Steel: Prequel or Sequel. Your choice?]
People are voting for prequels or sequels on their own.
Precisely, public opinion is like that. This is where the blood and steel of World War II came into play.
Since you said it was the 2nd, there must be a 1st, right? What in the world did World War II break out?
World War 2 is over, but the fight between the US and the Soviet Union has begun? Will these two be directly attached, or what?
I was thinking about writing an Oskar Schindler side story, but I was dumbfounded. A sequel or sequel is being implied without my knowledge.
‘I’ll use it later, but…’
I was thinking of taking a break while writing a side story right now. I haven’t even heard about the Age of Myth from Luminus and Mora yet.
Above all, the plan was to look into the dynamics of the kingdom of Terse, to be exact, the crown prince of Laos, which had been ignored.
Although she wrote to Queen Maria, she said she was living a normal life on the outside. So more suspicious
‘Should I visit once?’
I want to personally invite you to Yeongji. But there’s no good justification for that.
If there was one, it would be the Zenon Festival held regularly every year. But there are still 6 months left until then.
I don’t know what the crown prince of Laos will do when even the wise man is captured. He’s on the side with the possibility of being left alone and running out of control.
[The sequel to Blood and Steel has been decided! The true identity is this!]
But how can this damn chirashi not work? As if writing a provocative article to somehow attract attention.
The era is just moving into the modern era, and the media is just as stimulating as the modern era. But a bigger problem remains.
[Zenon’s world is a place where hell was realized. But did Zenon really go through that hell?]
[I feel like I know the details of each faction, and I feel like I’m telling ‘history’.]
[I do not doubt his origin. I just feel out of place. This part needs clarification.]
There were people who wrote spicy titles, but there were also people who made quite sharp points.
It is pointed out that rather than directly experiencing World War II, it seems to be looking into history from a distant future. Very accurate.
I looked to see who made this point, and it turned out to be Terse Kingdom. Is it you again I almost said, but a person I know well pointed out.
That person is none other than Count Camar. He was an aristocrat who stood by me during the trial and was a fierce critic of democracy.
Criticism was not simple ignorant criticism, but in-depth criticism. Did you say that if 51% of people pressure 49% of people, is that justified?
I don’t know if that’s why, but I didn’t feel bad or anything like that. I kind of expected that someday I’d get caught anyway.
‘It worked out just in time.’
I think I need to speak in front of people at this time. Whether it’s the Cold War or World War I, I’ll write it later.
Moreover, I said it clearly before. When Blood and Steel is finished, it will deal with a novel about a mythical age.
It doesn’t matter that I said it deliberately to mislead you in the first place. I’m not stupid and I didn’t expect this to happen.
So how did it go?
“What era did Zenon live in? Was it the same age as blood and steel?”
“I heard that your next project is to write a novel related to mythology! When will you release a sequel to Blood and Steel!”
“I have come to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land! Dear Zenon!”
How did it go? I called the people in front of the mansion and explained it.
But at the end, what is the pilgrimage to the Holy Land? Why is that person bowing down and worshiping?
Judging by the color of her skin, she seems to be of Stabirk ethnicity. I got down and stopped the people who were bowing before the reporters.
“Well… I’m going to set things right for now. What everyone’s wondering is, did I go through World War II? I’ll be honest. Is a generation that hasn’t been through.”
“Isn’t Count Camar right?”
“But wouldn’t it be great to know all that history?”
“How much knowledge do you have?”
He was an ordinary web novel writer and a person who liked history. If you only have one computer, knowledge acquisition is over.
However, it would be difficult to get them to understand the existence of computers. That’s not what’s important right now.
I started talking to those who were confused.
“As I said before, my next work is a novel closely related to the gods. It is a more detailed description of the age of mythology.”
“Then aren’t there a lot of blood and steel sequels?”
Oh no. Well spoken
I looked at the reporter who didn’t give up on the sequel until the end. Judging by their expressions, they are half worried and half excited.
There is a saying. Those who only write part 1 and don’t write part 2 are the worst. They will be curious about what will happen next.
But there is still a lot of time left. As long as my lifespan is permanently extended, I will continue to write books.
“Not immediately few. As you might expect, after blood and steel, the United States and the Soviet Union confront each other. In the world I lived in, it’s called the Cold War, or the Cold War. There is no direct armed conflict, but everything but that. It’s a competition equivalent to war.”
“Yeah, as expected! The next story…!”
“But as I just said, I won’t be writing about it right away. It’s a very uncomfortable story for me.”
When I said it was an awkward story, the reporters gave me a questioning expression. You have to brush your teeth here.
I put on a bitter expression as much as I could and then opened my mouth in a strange atmosphere.
“The Cold War divided my country in half.”
“··· ···”
“It left a scar that can never be washed away again. And I…”
I paused for a moment and then struggled to speak in a remorseful voice.
“It was a soldier.”
I didn’t lie.
