"What equality! You nonsense traitor!"

An elven boy yelled, and behind him were several teenagers of the same age, all dressed in brown shirts, black shorts, a black tie around their necks, and a dagger of honor pinned to their waists—the standard dress of the youth. Surrounded by them was an elven boy in civilian clothes.

It looked a bit like a school bully bullying the weak, but after only two or three sentences, Heydrich understood what was going on.

Disputes over racial issues.

The inhabitants of Yalfheim are broadly divided into five classes.

First-class, blonde and blue-eyed purebred elves;

the second class, half-elves mixed with the blood of other races;

third class, dwarves and gnomes;

Fourth, orcs;

fifth, human;

According to the law, the first three races can hold high public office, the fourth class can sign up for the Guard, and the fifth class of human beings can work and enjoy the basic rights of citizenship, but they cannot hold high public office, and the number of places to apply for higher education institutions is also strictly controlled.

This hierarchy has been criticized by both the left and the right, with the leftists believing that the law is too barbaric and detrimental to social stability, and they want to give better treatment to the aliens in exchange for their complete submission to elven rule, while the right believes that this division is too crude and too gentle on the dominated races, and that special racial research institutes should be established to strengthen the study of racial differences, and that the "ruled races" should be forced to obey through legislation and force. Any claim to political power by a different race is a crime, and it is a "felony against elves" along with interracial sex and homosexuality. It's all dead, it's all dead.

Interestingly, most of the people on the left are lawyers, judges, and academics, highly educated, and well-off. In the words of the right-wing magazine Black Army, "These wealthy classes take their belonging to the dominant race for granted and rarely bother with it." On the contrary, the most enthusiastic about "pure elven blood" are a large part of the low-ranking group: military personnel who have been forced to leave the army early for military violations, neurotic staff members who submit their transfer applications three times a year and are rejected, and junior students who do not look good on their exams...... The vanguard of defending the "pure bloodline of the ancient wisdom race" is this gang of "snakes".

This situation is somewhat similar to that described in a joke from the Third Reich

"What is a purebred Aryan?"

"Tall and strong like Goebbels, fit like Goering. Blonde like the Führer. ”

It's the same as the "Aryan Superman" who doesn't have much self-confidence. Right-wing elves also like to huddle, and they also like to use violence to "communicate" with those they disagree with.

This is especially true if the other party is a member of the "White Rose" and the topic is about race.

There is no party ban in Yalfheim. As long as it does not endanger national security and social order. Legal registration. Anyone can form a small group. On college campuses, it's a little stricter, and students are required to join the Youth League, otherwise they will be seen as monsters who don't fit in with society. However, non-political associations are also allowed to exist. And they are allowed to discuss some political topics - without breaking the law.

The "White Rose" group was born in this environment, and at first the topics were limited to academic and artistic circles, but as a microcosm of society, most of them were rebellious peers. The topic of politics always appears among these students who like to rebel against their parents and question authority, and all kinds of "anti-government" left-wing rhetoric is prevalent in this community.

They opposed the racial system, opposed the war that Alfheim had provoked in the first place, opposed the arbitrariness of the consuls, and even more scorned the right-wing theories of "killing all mankind" and "seizing living space". can meet, no one will like this group of young people who advertise "everyone is drunk and I am sober". Radicals and conservatives have more than once proposed banning the society, allowing the university and Stacy to work together to suppress it, and send all the captured members of the "White Rose" to concentration camps, or at least exile to the Ural Mountains. On more than one occasion, Dr. Karp, a right-wing leader, has proposed "treating this group of rebels with five pairs of weight wheels", and the right-wing student organization has had several physical altercations with the "White Rose". Fortunately, there have been no murders so far, and at most a few dishonest ones have been sent to the principality to gnaw on ice lumps.

In a word, both sides are living treasures for the "bourgeoisie", their parents, and one day not to cause some trouble, it is purely the mother goddess and her old man's eyes.

Those with a little brain will leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but Roland doesn't.

"Let's see, what's going on?"

Heydrich's last unwanted command came from the back seat, and he glanced in the rearview mirror, Roland's side face facing him, looking straight at the elven boys who were still arguing in front of the main entrance of the library.

With a sigh, Heydrich pulled the steering wheel, and the Porscher sedan quietly approached the library, stopping at a distance where he could hear the argument.

"If war can solve the problem, then what do we need the Council to do? Wouldn't it be enough for the generals to run the country? When the time comes, it will not be a country with an army, but an army with a state, so that you will be satisfied?"

The voice that was neither humble nor arrogant crossed the wall of brown shirts, and Roland was stunned for a moment, and a little excitement and nostalgia swelled in his purple eyes.

"We can't defeat all the enemies, and even if we can get good results at the beginning of the war, we will make enemies on all sides and get bogged down in war. And sink deeper and deeper until all our strength is exhausted. Then the war we have provoked will eventually burn back on us, and the efforts of our people for thousands of years to revive will be burned to the ground by vain ambition, and the elves may perish. ”

After saying this in one breath, the surrounded elf boy took a deep breath and continued to speak in a wise and calm tone.

"We should put an end to the idea of pursuing an expansionist route and triggering a mass siege, and concentrate our forces on the country. Tongguò has established friendly relations with other countries. to recognize us as an independent sovereign nation. For this reason, we should give better treatment to the interracial race in the country......"

"Only fools and incompetent people put their fate in the hands of the enemy. ”

A scathing rebuttal came, and in order to make his statement more convincing, the debater also quoted the classic quote of the consul.

"Schauer, as long as he is not a defeatist and a thief of the state, no one will believe in humanity - to speak of the slaughter of the elves as 'national liberation,' 'the human race that brought civilization to the barbaric lands. What is the difference between making friendly relations with short-eared humans and handing over a butcher's knife to a murderer?"

Whispers rang out all around, not loud, but full of expressions of approval.

For more than a thousand years, the national memory of the elves has not been pleasant. Humans and orcs are responsible for the memories that are unbearable, and humans are more responsible. Historically, it was humanity that first provoked a counter-flag against the Kingdom of Gilmania. After that, in history. The ruthless destruction and suppression of elves by human beings based on racial hegemony determined that the vast majority of elves except for a handful of pacifist and cynical people could not have any favorable feelings towards human beings, just as the Chinese after the Anti-Japanese War could not have a favorable opinion of Japan. And the attitude of the human nations, especially Emile, who controls the fields of education and thought, to the question of history has been stimulating the national pride of the elves. As long as the Pope and his clerics continue to preach the "legitimacy" and "natural power" of the slaughter of the elves, just as the Japanese scholars of Yan Sù preached that "the death toll was 250,000, not 300,000", they completely repudiated the Nanjing Massacre. It is impossible for the elves to trust the human nation, which holds annual festivals to honor the "heroes of jihad".

I am afraid that this is even more pale, illusory than "Sino-Japanese friendship" and "Sino-Japanese never to fight again."

For the elves. Even if it is necessary to establish friendly relations. It must also be "friendly relations" based on a huge force gap and a strong deterrent - as in the case of Israel, which is surrounded by Muslims.

After all, they have a backstage that is more reliable than Mi Ying's ghost beast, and it is not difficult to achieve this goal. And as long as that one nodded and agreed, thousands of human beings were "resettled" into concentration camps. And then let them "get out of the chimney", which is nothing more than a matter of words.

In a world where international law does not yet exist, where genocide and genocide are not blamed and those who commit these things are not punished, it is not very difficult to use "scientific means" to turn human beings into a minority. There is no need to even commit a massacre, just give them a drink of plasticizer every day and eat food cooked with industrial oil.

"Living space is not obtained through negotiation, if you want the other side to recognize you, you must first have a strong army. ”

"Excessive force only invites hostility. ”

That's what defeatists think. ”

"It is the simple-minded militarists who believe that force can solve a problem. ”

"Gentlemen—"

A suppressed voice of impatience interjected into the argument, and at a glimpse of the black uniforms of the police, the young students who were chattering endlessly immediately hung their heads obediently.

"You love to debate, and it is your right and freedom, but do not interfere with the rights that others deserve. ”

The leather baton points to the side of the sign, and the warning "No Noise" is particularly prominent.

Under the strong deterrent of the police, the debate with the smell of gunpowder was over, and the teenager in civilian clothes, known as Hans, walked away briskly with his head down, and a somewhat familiar call caught his footsteps.

"Hans!"

Following the prestige, a human boy with chestnut hair and purple eyes was waving at him.

"Roland?!"

Hans Schauer stayed for a moment and ran towards the car, shouting as he ran.

"When did you come back?, and you kidnapped a pretty girl?!"

- This idiot!!

Heydrich had a stomach ache, are the nerves of the imps so thick now?

"Ah, all sorts of things have happened......"

Trying not to meet Minerva's gaze, Roland said with a wry smile:

"Are you going home? Do you want to take a ride?"

Durham is a middle-class suburb of Alfheim, quiet, cozy and affluent, with streets lined with apple and cherry blossoms, hedgerows and fences and detached houses, two- or three-storey buildings with detached garages. It was inhabited by doctors, lawyers, university professors, and the occasional priest.

The Schauer family were devout Lutherans, and the doctrine of this sect was closer to that of the Huguenots, less interested in kingship and dictatorship, and closer to liberals in thought. Under the influence of his parents and a mentor, Hans Schauer and his sister Sophia Schauer organized the White Rose and are working to expand their influence.

"We are not against the consuls. Don't look at me that way, Mr. Major, I am presenting an objective fact. ”

Hans stretched out his hand towards Heydrich, who snorted and stared intently at the road.

"By any standard, the Archon is an excellent leader, an all-round genius rarely seen in the world, not only in the past, present, but even in the distant future, and I am afraid that no one can surpass his achievements, and in the present conditions, no one can replace him. ”

It's not about whether you need it, it's whether you can do it.

Nor can the most extreme liberals deny the fact that, despite having a whole system of government and social functioning and a seemingly good and powerful army, the most extreme liberals can deny the fact that, aside, the question of whether they can convince the masses, they are faced with the most sinister geopolitical environment in the world. Liberal politicians and militarist totalitarians are unable to lead all the elves to find a viable way out, and the "Mother Goddess and Destiny" are destined to be led only by an archon who is both an outstanding general and an excellent politician, and is more like an emperor than the heads of state of the world today.

"So we are not against the consul, we are just against some of his practices, and we are uneasy about the increasingly assertive behavior of the right-wingers, and as citizens, we have an obligation to stand up...... What do you think? Mr. Major?"

"As an officer, I must answer you: 'It is a great mistake to ask which side the Wehrmacht is on, and the Wehrmacht is ordered to do what it is supposed to do, and that's it!, however, as an individual, I would just like to say that it is the fault of a young man who reads a few books and thinks he knows everything, no matter where it is. ”

From the very beginning of the establishment of the Wehrmacht, the consul has always been the symbol and shield of the army, and the army is the sibling and sword of the consul and Alfheim; the army, which considers itself to be the guardian of the order and security of the country, has in many respects the same views as the right-wing conservatives, and the views of the soldiers on the left-wing students are also strikingly consistent with those on the right-wing -- if the left-wing students are thrown into the ravines or the countryside and suffer for a few years, all the problems that have survived when they are well fed will naturally disappear.

Hans shrugged, turned his head and grimaced at Roland, and then said to Minerva:

"You see, we're so unpopular. If I don't obey obediently, I'll have to report to the countryside. ”

Minerva almost burst out laughing, and Roland smiled wryly at the funny elementary school classmate, while Heydrich on the side still had a straight face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his shoulders shook slightly.

At this time, the "Merry Widow's Waltz" has been played, and a brisk prelude sounds, and in the refreshing and pleasant wind, the melodious voice of the female singer flutters in the wind.

"Before the barracks, in front of the gates, there was a lamp, which is still lit today. We're going to meet there, and we're going to stand under that lamp. Once again, Lily Marlene. Once again, Lily Marlene. Again, Lily Marlene ......"

The soft singing voice came from the loudspeaker in the car, and Hans's home could already be seen. (To be continued......)
