Sinmonger Chapter 25: The draft of the left road (top)
On the lower left road, people from Long County. A lot of people know my name these days because I'm already a best-selling author.
My novel "The Inverse Cross" was completed in the tenth year after the founding of the federal government. I quickly found a publisher that was interested in the book, and it came out almost unchanged. It has been ten years since its release and has achieved unprecedented success. Now I'm a person with little idea of money, and the royalties I receive every quarter are endless.
This novel is narrated in the first person, and unfolds from the perspective of a self-reported little character with superpowers, telling his experience after joining a mysterious organization. The proverbial war is re-described from a fantasy setting that is different from the history textbooks.
Critics have polarized views on my novels. Some people praise it highly, and think that my writing style of "romance" that mixes modern history and fictional characters is worth learning from; Some criticized my novels for distorting history with unscientific viewpoints, making grandstanding, and having a bad influence on minors.
Now that I think about it, I should actually be more grateful to those who hold the second view. Although I could have been successful without them, it would never have been so fast. Looking back many years later, they have already forgotten about me, and instead pointed the finger at another celebrity who is hot at the moment, expecting the other party to have a scolding war with them or something.
+≧, the so-called academia is basically a group of people like this. In fact, their opinions, whether they are praised or criticized, I do not pay much attention to. They have a high attitude, a high degree of education, and a higher self-esteem. This group of people seems to have everything, but no works. Of course, I'm referring to the kind of works that can make them both famous and rich, and there are still some works that are only popular in their small circle. And what this group of people is most passionate about is to use a condescending attitude to evaluate other people's things, so as to show that they are a little higher than others...
I've been really annoyed by them for a few years. It got better later, after all people don't always focus on one person.
During my busiest years, I attended many business events. I was even invited to give a speech at a well-known university. Before I left, the school insisted on awarding me an honorary professor certificate. When I looked at the piece of paper in my hand, I just thought it was funny, isn't it a diploma. I forged it by hand, and every 15 minutes, I can even sign the principal's signature for you. It's exactly the same. What's the use?
Let's talk about the influence of "Reverse Cross". That was way beyond my imagination. Although I have stated publicly more than once, the plot in the novel is fictional and the world we live in is safe. But there are still avid readers trying to find out some of the characters in the book are prototypes in reality, even though I use almost all fake names in the book...
For this matter, former President Krause Wittstock invited me to his house for tea. At that time, I was really afraid that this was the Hongmen Banquet, and after deliberating for a long time, I made up my mind to go. Unexpectedly, they were very polite, and they calmly discussed with me how to continue to fool readers in the future, and also asked me to sign autographs for his two sons. I really admire him. To know. In my book, he was quite miserable by Tianyi...
Oh, by the way, the ending of my novel is actually not complete. In that book, the story ends after the protagonist leaves the reverse cross. I just briefly mentioned what happened later in the postscript. Including the events of the Samawah Desert, the war in Double Eagle County, and the destruction of Tiandu. I have used the official word for those things. It seems to have a sense of history, and at the end, I add a sentence about how many things in the past and the present, all in a joke, and this is all work.
Actually, the truth of many things was gradually revealed by myself after many years, and there are many things that even I don't know, and I am afraid they have become eternal mysteries. Here, I leave this text, just to sort out my memories. If anyone sees it in the future, let's take this as an unpublished draft of my novel. …,
Let's start with the destruction of Tiandu in Genesis...On March 11, 2102, people who watched the news that day wanted to see how the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was unprecedented, but what was waiting for them was Another "breaking" piece of news. As Murphy's Law tells us: if something bad is possible, no matter how small the possibility, it will always happen and cause the greatest possible loss. Who would have thought that the capital of the empire would be reimbursed by the ultimate weapon developed by itself.
In the early morning of that day, both the Freedom Front and the Xingtian troops in the Pacific Ocean witnessed the white light of destruction. The floating island, which was regarded as an invincible fortress, was completely wiped from the earth within ten seconds, not to mention the survivors. , and even the wreckage evaporated cleanly.
Who is the initiator of this incident has become a mystery. It was not until half a year later when the federal government was established and the Phantom was recovered that some official news was released. It has been proved that there was no one on the ship, not even the corpses of the former crew members. So... the story of the ghost ship spread like wildfire, and rumors that Tiandu was punished by the gods still exist.
But I've roughly guessed who did it...
After the entire population of Tiandu was declared dead. People all over the world suddenly showed a humanitarian spirit of compassion and compassion, and even the public opinion in the area occupied by the rebel groups was inclined to mourning.
I think that's called hypocrisy.
Anyway, I didn't think much of it when I saw it on the news. It's not that I'm savvy, I'm telling the truth. People are basically indifferent to the misfortunes they have not seen or experienced with their own eyes. Earthquakes, tsunamis, famines, hurricanes... are all words that can be seen in various media, but if there is no personal pain, how can you know the suffering of the displaced.
Everyone has a heart of compassion, but very few people actually help others without asking for anything in return. Those guys who pretended to pray for the dead on the Internet, maybe they were still calling the nobles to be damned half a month ago. After the sky was destroyed, they put on another face and accused those who said "die well" with righteous indignation. people have no humanity. For them, pretending or scolding, low-cost self-satisfaction behaviors, I don't know who to show them to, and who will remember them.
Later I realized that it wasn't my idea, it was a mess in too many people's minds,
I don't dare to say it to others, at least the three guys, Tianyi, the consultant, and the blood owl. If you hear this news, you should still be the same, unabashedly laughing wildly. Because they don't need hypocrisy, and they don't have any humanity.
As expected. After the incident, the earth was still spinning, the sun was rising on time, and the world was running as usual. The only thing that has changed...is us all living beings.
The first thing that happened was Shuangying County. Because the sky no longer existed, the local emperor fell into a state of bewilderment. A lieutenant-level commander became the temporary commander with the highest authority. I figured it out. He should have felt something like... a civil servant who suddenly heard that the capital had evaporated from the world during a business trip.
Many of the newly recruited former members of the Iron Commandment Corps, and even the soldiers who were originally the emperor, have become deserters, and even the rank of colonel has disappeared. Just when they were in chaos, Camo Bottini, the inspector general of the Holy City of the Steel Commandment, and several of his capable people instigated a prison escape plan. Regarding this escape, he quoted his original words in his memoirs as "the action was so smooth that the emperor didn't seem to bother to stop us".
Let's talk about Australia, the situation there is a little more stable, the sixth prince Wilfred Witstock is the remaining bloodline of the imperial royal family. He was offered up by the local governor the same day as Wang Laozi. The county has a great location. It does not border the area occupied by the resistance organization, and its military strength is not bad, and it has a tendency to become the new capital of the empire. …,
As for the reaction of the resistance organizations in various places, what you may have seen in the history textbooks are "regret for this incident and actively negotiate federal matters". But as far as I can see, those guys were totally dumbfounded. It's basically the feeling of being the first army. Active negotiation is fake, arms race is real. Each is thinking of delaying time and consolidating strength. A pair of eyes are staring at it. Anyone who dares to shoot the first shot, or do something stupid like being a king, will be attacked immediately.
Then...the next thing I'm going to write about may be a bit sensational. It's about the famous "Federal Agreement" speech that took place on March 29.
This speech undoubtedly shocked the whole world, and even I was startled, not only surprised that Krause did not accompany the destruction of the heavens, but also unimaginable that a person with the legal right to rule the empire should propose proposed the idea of federalism and required consultation with the many adversaries in the war.
Later, Krause told me personally that he was sitting in the eAS headquarters as an audience that day when the media around the world was hacked into systems from unknown sources and forced to rebroadcast that speech.
I knew then that the speaker was not him...
Everyone thought that the "Federal Agreement" was a speech delivered by the first Federal President Clause Wittstock, but the actual speech was... by Darkwater.
I don't need to tell you now, you should know who actually wrote the manuscript for that thing.
The follow-up progress can basically be checked online. The first to respond to the federal agreement was Yanwu United, followed by Xingtian. With the support of these two resistance organizations, things were basically done.
The sixth prince, Wilfred, is also very cooperative. He should be very clear that joining the Federation is the only way out. If the world enters a state of separatism, his place is likely to be the primary target of annexation by the Freedom Front. It's better to follow his seventh brother, at least not to fall into prison or die.
Steel Discipline and the Freedom Front fell to the Commonwealth at about the same time, of course, several months later than the other two organizations. That feeling... as if everyone was "uprising", and I "surrendered" at the last minute and it was ugly.
Afterwards, I researched a lot of data files, and even consulted some secret files of various forces. After comparing many parties, I found that the world pattern at that time seemed to be chaotic and the future was unclear, but the most crucial point of comparison of military strength, the five forces were relatively balanced.
It's right to think about it. I counted with my fingers. Almost all the strong ones who can ride a thousand are dead. Let's rank the surviving ones. Cao Shuo and Changying may have to be at the top of the line. Two go. As far as their strength is concerned, they are far worse than the Lord Xiao of that year.
In short, after a long diplomatic process, on September 11, 2102, the federal government was proclaimed, the capital was set in Crystal County, and the abandoned site of the former HL European headquarters was reopened. The huge facility has 80 % was changed to a war memorial, open to the public, and the remaining area was used by the federal government. This information can now be found in textbooks or on the Internet, and I will not go into details.
And the driving force behind this result is undoubtedly the public broadcast of the federal agreement. That speech raised an aspirational banner, and even the members of the resistance group were eager to end the war as soon as possible, not to mention the general public.
As Tianyi once said to me, war is a relaxation agent for all mankind, which can effectively relieve the conflicts and pressures accumulated over the years, and make people realize the value of peace and tranquility again.
At this point, it's almost time to trace the fate of those characters in my book. More than 20 years later, some people, I have not been able to contact them, and I don't know where they are going, so let's write while thinking about...,
Let's talk about people other than the Inverse Cross first. Krause Witstock, the first president of the Federation, served for five years, and then voluntarily gave up re-election and stepped back to become a consultant.
He has been highly praised, and many of the changes he made are still in use today~IndoMTL.com~ Among them, the most worthy of a book and a far-reaching impact on the future should be that he abolished the two nobility and royal family. A special class of hereditary systems...both in name and in substance.
His wife Jiang Yun later regained the ability to speak, but the former first lady almost never made a public appearance, reclusive, husband and son. The memory of killing people in the reverse cross did not seem to have caused any mental damage to her, and I was very happy for her.
Besides, his two minions... oh no, they are confidants, Shishi and Drunkard.
The organization eAS still exists today. Shi Shi became the director of the federal government the year it was established, and still, the deputy director is his wife Changying. The dignified Superpower Supervision Bureau has become their mom-and-pop shop. Now, when you mention Joseph Nolan and Alice White in the capable circle, nine out of ten people will answer you, "Oh...they...know...well...let's talk about something else. ".
In short, if there is a spectrum of weapons in this world, then these two should join forces and be ranked first. I've already thought about the nickname, the hero of the poisonous tongue. (To be continued.
