Chapter 2484: Sanity Collapse
Tanya, the time traveler, is still trying to integrate into the military rules of the empire. She believes that as long as she is brave enough, she will be trusted, and then she will have the opportunity to be promoted and leave the front line to go to the rear.
But she obviously did not realize that her bravery and going to the rear are originally in conflict. If she is a brave general, the front line is her home, so how could she be transferred back to the rear?
It is impossible to leave the front line quickly through the rules. This is obvious. If the military rules can quickly leave the front line through bravery, then many people will be brave, because it is not only Tanya who wants to escape from the front line, there will definitely be countless people who follow suit. The problem is that no one follows suit, which means that the rules do not equate bravery with being transferred from the front line.
Tanya thinks she is very good at scheming rules, but the facts prove that she is not. She can only interpret the rules in her own way, but she always forgets that the final right to interpret the rules is not in her hands. And she is always proud of thinking that her mastery of the rules is very brilliant, but she can't see that there are countless people in this world who are studying the rules like her. If there are any loopholes and shortcuts in the rules, it will never be Tanya's turn.
Tanya didn't know that while she was fighting the enemy, a storm was brewing inside the empire.
"With the development of globalization, conflicts will become more and more fierce. In the next hundred years, all countries will have to face division and turmoil. The empire has lagged behind in development, and it must not lag behind step by step. Therefore, we, the people of the empire, must rebuild this country and join the international competition and confrontation with a new attitude. We are no longer puppets of capital appreciation. We control the direction of capital. We don't believe in God or pass on God. We start from ourselves, be our own masters, and set off."
Swoosh!
The assault girl team flew over the city, beheaded the nobles, and also carried out a carpet sweep of the princes everywhere.
"God, the times have changed."
Duran personally led people to blow up the church of God and carry out the movement to abolish God. The angry crowd followed him to tie up all the priests and nuns in the church, and then blew up the church.
"You people will be punished. God will not let you off the hook. How could you blow up the church? God, please forgive us."
"What does it matter if God forgives you or not? You are all suffering anyway. It is the same whether God forgives you or not. I am afraid that God's existence is just a means for you to comfort yourself, satisfy yourself, and degenerate yourself. We blow up the statues for the good of God, because God does not care about you, but thinks you are noisy." Duran said confidently: "Keep blowing it up."
The priests were almost crying. Their faith had nowhere to go.
It was a pity that Duran was very determined to break God. A sudden internal conflict broke out in the empire. A new force changed everything almost overnight. By the time the international community reacted, it was too late. The old nobles of the empire had been arrested.
Then it was time to establish a new order. Destruction was easy, but reconstruction was difficult.
All countries were shocked by the new empire's behavior of blowing up churches and arresting nobles. There was no martial ethics at all. What kind of thing was this?
The top leaders of all countries were meeting to discuss how to face such a completely unfamiliar new empire. Should they launch a war of conquest? Because the beliefs of the empire have changed, it is not uncommon to fight religious wars under the pretext of beliefs. As a besieged country, the empire originally believed in a god, but the empire suddenly stopped believing in it. How can the surrounding countries be stable?
"If we don't go to war, the new empire may take the initiative. They are buying weapons in large quantities during this period. I think this is likely to be a precursor to a war. The empire will not stop."
"Yes, we must also prepare more weapons and be ready to go to war at any time. This is inevitable. There is nothing to say to pagans."
The changes in the empire made the whole world nervous. The weapons market was extremely hot, and countries were scrambling to prepare to buy weapons.
Weapon futures were hyped up. This was Duran's Hengshan plan. It was very successful and made a lot of money in a short period of time.
At this time, Tanya in the north also heard that the empire had an internal conflict. She was confused. The soldiers around her were also panicked and had no intention of fighting. They didn't know what to do. Rumors were flying everywhere.
Some people said that the army of the new empire would come to destroy them, so they had better surrender quickly and join the Allied Union.
Some people also said that the old nobles had not been completely eliminated, and they would be incorporated into the new army to counterattack the new empire and prepare for restoration.
Others said that they had been abandoned, and their communication with their superiors had been completely cut off. Now they were an isolated army.
No matter which statement they made, it was difficult for them to accept it, and they didn't know what to do.
Tanya was also very anxious. As a rule follower, chaos and disorder were her biggest enemies, which was completely inconsistent with rational thinking. There was no reason, no rules, and this was the fate of the time traveler.
However, Tanya had never thought that human behavior did not always follow reason. The reason why she traveled through time was, on the one hand, because of God, and on the other hand, because he fired an employee, and was pushed off the platform by this employee in retaliation and hit by a train.
Tanya believed that the foundation of society was rational, full of rules and concepts. But this is actually wrong. The foundation of society is irrational. The basic function of society is to survive. After solving the problem of survival, people are actually controlled by irrationality to dominate others, or be dominated by others.
The so-called reason and concepts are all based on the irrational struggle of human beings, that is, the so-called economic base determines the superstructure.
The concept of rationality is basically summarized through history and experience, rather than constructed for social development, and is seriously lagging behind.
The operation of society is determined by irrational struggles, which spiral upward. People decide to dominate and be dominated, and struggle in society. In modern society, this struggle is no longer bloody, but it does not mean that it has disappeared.
If we use rationality to say that altruism is self-interest, everyone is happy and abides by the rules, and society will be harmonious. However, in fact, human irrational struggles will never end, and others are hell, so the so-called rationality has no soil to survive. It can be said that rational people have idealism, and the end of idealism is generally miserable.
Tanya has never known the true appearance of society. When she was pushed off the platform, she may have realized that rationality is just the result of struggle rather than the cornerstone of society. Of course, she may not have realized that struggle is universal, and unemployed employees who have lost their minds cannot be regarded as a special case.
In fact, unemployed employees are not special cases. Irrationality is the cornerstone of society. Either you dominate others or you are dominated by others. Everyone is a loach in the quagmire and keeps struggling.
Everything that happened in the empire was an irrational struggle led by Duran, which made Tanya feel at a loss. She didn't know what to do, because without rules, she really couldn't find a program of action: "How crazy and irrational is this world, how can it break out at this time? What kind of madman would do this? Aren't they afraid of being surrounded by the enemy country?" She couldn't figure it out, and it was too crazy and irrational.
In fact, she herself was not rational. After all, she tried to fight against God. How could a rational person fight against a powerful God? Fighting is irrational, but Tanya still chose to fight against God for no reason. This is irrational, but she didn't realize it herself.
