Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"Who will deter me?"

Kant looked calm and calm, as if asking a most common question.

- Who will watch over the watchmen.

In the hall, Colonel Tian looked directly at Kant, and his expression gradually became firm.

"We also thought hard and couldn't find a perfect solution. In the end, an old man broke it out with one word, leaving us speechless, and then we laughed."

"He said that things in the world are difficult to achieve, and starting a business is difficult and difficult. It has always been like this, isn't it?"

The soldiers of the Republic looked directly at Kant.

"At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, did we not know that the consequences of a war with a powerful hegemon who had just won World War II would be unpredictable? In the 1970s and 1980s, did we not know that the olive branch of the United States had bad intentions? From the founding of the People's Republic to the present, decades ago, the difficulties faced by the Republic have been There are so many choices, we are never one-size-fits-all, our careers are still tough, and we don’t have the luxury of having the best of both worlds every time.”

"Every choice we make, we gamble again and again with our meager wealth, we are not crazy gamblers, our original wish is not like this, we also want to do our best to make the nation go from poverty and ignorance to prosperity and prosperity quickly, We also want knives and guns to be put into storage, horses to be released, and we want to make the word war completely history - but the world is not so beautiful."

"We knew it from the start."

"But fate has not been generous enough to prepare us every time."

"This time too."

"We can only grit our teeth to make a choice, grit our teeth and wait for the result, grit our teeth and bear the consequences."

Speaking of which, Tian Da's eyes were slightly red. This is not the acting skills of a politician, because it does not require acting skills, because history is in his mind, those humiliation, resistance, sacrifice and achievements.

"It is extremely risky and even irresponsible to entrust this kind of family and country affairs to your personal morality and feelings of family and country, but we have no more suitable way."

"Because time waits for no one."

Colonel Tian said slowly: "In the battle of Moyani, your appearance has changed the pattern of superhumans in the world. This is the first time in human history to observe superhumans whose threat is higher than that of strategic nuclear weapons."

"It is an exaggeration to say that a human **** has appeared on the earth."

"And he's Chinese."

"This is intolerable to all countries, especially Western countries. Your appearance means that the extraordinary is no longer a controllable group that is regulated and controlled by various governments, and they may also grow into powerful people who challenge the existing order. , and more seriously, you are Chinese."

"Your language, your looks, your skin color, your behavior...you are Chinese."

"They will acquiesce that you will not hesitate to help your own government, and even if you are completely out of the way and have no contact or communication with us, they will still acquiesce to this matter and exaggerate your threat and the resulting the international crisis, and make every effort to untie the shackles of the extraordinary people in their own country.”

"There is only one reason - we are here, China is here."

The Colonel Tian glanced at Kant and found that the other party was not at all suspicious, so he understood that the young man could understand the meaning of his words.

He continued: "This is not good news for us, because we can't completely rely on you, let alone trust you completely, but because of your appearance, we also have to untie the shackles of restrictions on the extraordinary - because Foreign countries will definitely do that.”

"And in theory, they'll do better than us."

"Not only the advantages of scientific research strength and comprehensive national strength, but also their low human rights advantages."

"The governments of our main competitors, after years of operation and accumulation, have extremely strong social resilience and public opinion control capabilities, which enable them to easily withstand those, a series of invisibility brought about by unlocking the shackles of the superhuman. Potential social conflicts and contradictions.”

"After all, if the people of a country are used to tens of thousands of people being killed by gunfire every year, they should slowly accept that half of them die from superpowers."

"After all, if the people of a country are accustomed to seeing the communities where immigrants from the Middle East and Africa gather as criminal zones and the realm of the outlaw, and ignore a series of vicious crimes bred by foreign populations, then they should also be indifferent to supernatural crimes. Even see it as a group that needs to be cared for.”

"but…"

Colonel Tian looked at Kant and said solemnly: "They can, but we can't. We are the people's government, and we have to consider the rights of all citizens...it must be the case."

"We are open, and we need more control. We need the new group of superhumans to give up a small part of their personal rights in exchange for our preferential treatment, as well as the stability and unity of the whole society and the whole nation."

"We want to formulate rules and laws in this group, so we have to form violent institutions, but we also want to ensure that this special violent institution will not deteriorate, we are rewarding them with honor and material, and strengthening them with belief and ideas, Unite them with common goals and common interests."

"But we also need an ultimate deterrence to deter them, to deter this extraordinary army with special power and special mission, it will not deteriorate, it will not corrupt, it will not degenerate, and it can always take the interests of the people as the highest interest. Consider, never betray, never hurt.”

"You, Kant, our decision is to invite you to maintain this deterrent."

Hearing this, Qin Mengjin's breathing quickened, and her shorthand writing was all shelved.

Because this is an unheard of, unprecedented privilege, burden, and responsibility.

A person's destiny, and the course of history, merge into one at this time.

But as the bearer of this supreme honor and responsibility, Kant's expression was as usual, and he was not even a little moved.

This kind of attitude is also enough to make Colonel Tian, ​​who has seen countless people and has entered and exited the highest authority of the state, be heartbroken. There are great brave people in the world. , and his ambition is far away, he is talking about a person like Kant.

However, he still did not know why Kant was so calm.

- I have long been designated as a fire thief! Brother Tu and Sister La’s dual-material selection, the blessing of perfect paradox, the **** of the star palace, the enemy of civilization, the disaster of the world, have you heard of these? I chatted and laughed with them.

Compared to the extinction crisis faced by the mortal world, the next fully prepared military operation of the star palace, the voice of the end of the countless eras, and the responsibility of the fire thieves - what are you?

Confronted with Colonel Tian's words and proposals, Kant nodded calmly.

"But you still didn't say..." He pointed to himself, "Who will deter me, who will deal with my deterioration, my corruption, and my depravity."

"I've already explained it to you."

Colonel Tian said calmly: "For decades after the founding of our country, we have been forced to go to war again and again, and even maintained hostility to two superpowers at the same time. In order to defend our territory, protect our national dignity and sovereignty integrity, we did not hesitate to face a long blockade. , hostility and even the threat of war, every decision we made at that time, did we rely on peace of mind and clever calculations?"

Kant seemed to understand something, and he fell silent.

"...Actually there is."

-Um?

Kant looked up in amazement.

He met Colonel Tian's gaze.

The other party pointed at him: "Our reliance is you."

He pointed to Qin Mengjin again: "It's her."

Point to yourself again: "It's me."

His hand pointed to the direction outside the meeting hall, where dozens of people were nervously waiting for the result. Outside Building No. 18, there were thousands of people working in the State Guest House. The whole city, the whole country: "...it's them."

"The power of the people... may be an old and empty word to those of you young people, but in that painful and exhilarating red age, when the Chinese nation was at its most difficult time, that generation did not so perfect. When making a decision, what they can rely on is not the support of the so-called big brother, nor the assistance of the free world, only the people can rely on.”

"Believe in this country, believe in this nation, believe in our people."

"I believe that even if it encounters a terrible failure in the most dangerous environment, this nation will not sink again, and will surely rise up more and more hard, because we have painful national memories, we have also experienced rise and glory, and our suffering past. The hope of hard work will be passed down from generation to generation, because we have seen the sunshine, so we will no longer endure the darkness, even if we encounter a temporary setback, there will be a comeback one day... This is our biggest reliance."

"So we choose to believe."

"Believe in the people, and believe in you."

"Because of Kant, you are also the people."

He looked at Kant silently.

"We would like to believe, we can only believe, and we also confidently believe that you, who have been through the education system of the People's Republic of China, and who have seen this country take off in the new century, will have the greatest goodwill towards our imperfect government. , recognition and patience.”

"I believe what you said, the heritage and cultural national temperament engraved in our blood."

"Reading for the rise of China."

"Do unto others, do not impose on others."

"The princes and generals are rather kind."

"The journey of the avenue is for the public."

When Colonel Tian said this, he slowly smiled.

He shook his head, sighed, and sighed with emotion: "When I learned this, it was a long, long time ago..."

Then, Kant slowly stood up.

"Is that all?" He pressed the table and looked at each other, "Is that all?"

"Yes, that's all." Colonel Tian said calmly, "We invite you to participate in this imperfect deterrence. We believe that in a short period of time, the chance of your thinking changing is very small, so we choose to believe that in your service for us. During this time, we can find a more perfect deterrent solution.”

Kant looked at each other: "But you still have to prepare corresponding insurance for this imperfect deterrent."

"In a short period of time, we don't want your parents and relatives to leave China, I hope you can understand, of course, we are not boasting, the country is the safest place."

Kant remained silent.

"We invite you to guide and teach our superhuman troops, and to form prestige and deterrence against them, but we don't want you to seek too much influence in the supernatural law enforcement department formed by the country, you can have ambition or have Secret, but must respect the country and the interests of the people."

The fire thieves listened silently.

"We will fully support your operation and layout in West Africa. In exchange, please still use the foreign country as a stage, no matter whether it is business, private army, or capital power, you can even be an invisible king abroad, but Please don't seek to control or influence anything at home... It's a bit unfair, but unfortunately, at this very moment, please don't stir up sensitive nerves."

Kant still stood where he was, looking neither happy nor angry.

"at the same time…"

Colonel Tian gritted his teeth: We will prepare the ultimate secret plan as the final measure to deal with your dehumanization and distortion, so as to avoid the catastrophe of the country and the people because of your personal desires and ambitions - we will be firm, secretive and decisive Prepare this plan carefully, and pray that it will never come in handy, and pray that you will be the shining star of the nation, the star of civilization. "

Kant raised his eyebrows: "So frank?"

Tian Dazheng said: "Even if we don't say it, you will know that the charm of being honest and honest lies in this, we tacitly understand and smile, just as we also know that you also have a 'final plan' in your heart to deal with Worst-case retaliation and revenge, as we all know, will change the color of the world."

Kant smiled half-smile: "Aren't you worried?"

"Not worrying is false, and fear is also true, but on the other hand, we also have such self-confidence." Colonel Tian said calmly, "The old man said that rebellion is justified, revolution is innocent, you are holding a sword, why not treat us Without such self-confidence, how can we lead China?"

Kant did not speak, but suddenly laughed.

"On this basis, on the basis of our common interests of the Chinese nation, the state will respect your secrets and provide you with all the help you need."

"On the basis of mutual trust, mutual benefit, and mutual respect, the two sides have conducted friendly consultations and negotiations on the exchange of interests and mutual assistance, and have always maintained open and honest exchanges, always remembering that each other is a part of the Chinese nation, and the great rejuvenation is our one. share, and also your share."

He held out his hand to Kant.

"On behalf of the Central People's Government, I send you a formal invitation and proposal."

"Please be the sword to deter us."

Kant looked at the hand, but did not hold it, but was rather distressed.

"It sounds like I'm still at a disadvantage." Kant pointed his finger, "Being a mascot and a top thug, and then my parents can't go abroad, I can't make big moves in China, and I have to exile myself to Africa, other than that. In addition, it has to be targeted by countries, and it has to be guarded by countries..."

Colonel Tian maintained his gesture of reaching out and was not impatient. He smiled and said, "The state will try to compensate and help you, so that you don't seem to suffer too much, but if you want to get ahead of the people, bully men and women, and make fun of you There is no power to engage in rain, there is a new society, we are the people's government, and we can only try to compensate you for your efforts on the basis of legality and fairness."

"For the part that can't be made up, I'll ask you to make up for it with patriotism and great power."

Kant laughed and said, "This statement sounds a bit rascal."

"We can be thick-skinned when necessary."

Kant laughed again when he heard the words, he stretched out his hand and probed for the other's outstretched hand.

"It will last for five years, and we will discuss it when it expires." Colonel Tian added.

Kant nodded: "Money, equipment, infrastructure and commodities."

The other party replied: "With China's size, it is not a problem to stack Jurban into the light of Africa."

"Not only that, but I don't actually have much interest in helping black people build their hometown... Jurban is my territory, and I also need personnel support, security personnel, military personnel and scientific researchers."

"If you ask for it, we will maintain the utmost respect for your personal privacy and confidentiality."

Kant nodded with satisfaction: "Then I will teach the Transcendent troops something, and we can also exchange some questions about equipment, tactics and ideas, including things found in hidden corners of the world."

The other party's eyes lit up: "Information exchange."

Kant smiled lightly: "Euclide."

"what?"

"It means no problem."

The palms of the two sides gradually approached.

"Can you take full responsibility?"

"absolutely okay."

"So that's what we're going to do?"

"Um."

"This is... a covenant?"

"Well, so to speak, our oath to you, Kant."

Colonel Tian looked at Kant's hand who was close at hand and suppressed the excitement in his tone.

"We hope that you will remember today as well as yesterday, remember the humiliation, rise, hope and sacrifice of our nation, remember what you said today, we hope you will use your power properly, not only for you Personal moral fulfillment and aspirational pursuits are also used for this nation's great road to regain its glory and glory... We trust you and hope you trust us."

Kant returned a soft smile.

"Well, I also hope you can remember what you said today, and I hope you can keep your mission and oath in mind, protect the freedom and equality of the people, and protect the extraordinary... After all, they are not aliens, we are all Chinese , the same faith, the same love.”

Finally, the two hands were held together.

"The ancients said that high fives are an oath, and there are also burning yellow paper and beheading chickens to make an alliance. In the new era, there is no need to do that, because today, countless martyrs and heroic spirits are watching us. On behalf of the government and the people, I will form an alliance with you."

Colonel Tian looked at this unprecedented man and said slowly, "Comrade."

Kant took the other's hand and said, "America ruined that name—otherwise, we could call this one, the Patriot Covenant."

"Let's call it that." For Colonel Tian, ​​who is a soldier, this is not a problem at all. "Anyway, we refer to the United States, not once or twice."

Qin Mengjin, who can only serve as the backdrop in this calm and magnificent negotiation and covenant, took out the camera that was put aside, and the camera on the shelf has faithfully recorded all this. The two took a photo.

"I hope that one day, this photo and this image will be unblocked and made public, and I hope that one day, we will all be in the right place to accept the most appropriate evaluation given to us by history and the people."

Colonel Tian looked at Kant and said softly, "Thank you, Comrade Kant, I feel honored."

"I'm honored too."

Kant looked outside, and the eyes of the phoenix reflected several uneasy souls: "Does this mean that I can legally and reasonably make kind personality corrections to these spiritless superhumans?"

As an old-fashioned and serious soldier, Colonel Tian couldn't understand the young man's way of saying: "This..."

"Just kidding, comrade."

Kant turned his head to look back at each other's eyes, and the sparks that could start a prairie prairie were reflected in his pupils: "Let's work together and blast all the reactionaries."
