The draft of the Holy Emperor mentioned many laws of other countries that protect the Cursed Children. He guessed that the situation of the Cursed Children was not as bad as in the original book.
Su Qing was not surprised that some regions regarded the Cursed Child as the savior.
But... my country, why has the style changed when it comes to you?
Su Qing perked up and asked curiously, "Can you tell me in detail?"
"It's actually very simple." The Holy Emperor spread his hands, with a hint of envy in his eyes: "The country next door is one of the countries with the least casualties after the emergence of protostomes."
The Holy Emperor explained: "The original enterovirus is somewhat contagious, but considering the population density, Japan's population density is greater. Japan can still retain five large cities today. What's more, the population density is less than that of Japan, and the military strength is greater than that of Japan's neighbor?"
Su Qing thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Yes, Japan did not perish in the face of a disaster of the same magnitude, so what serious event could possibly happen to Kyushu?
"The casualties next door were not many at first, and the pregnant women who were infected were even fewer. There are not many cursed children in Jiuzhou, and Jiuzhou has no intention of sending cursed children to the battlefield at all."
The Holy Emperor expressed his jealousy in his real name, sighed and said: "Jiuzhou doesn't care about the fighting power of the Cursed Child at all."
"Compared to Kyushu's hot weapons and the masters of various schools in Kyushu, the only thing that can be praised about the Cursed Child is its potential and future."
The Holy Emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The cursed child has the genes of protostomes, such as the strength of an ant, the jumping ability of a rabbit, etc. If this is manifested in humans, it seems that this will be very powerful?
But this kind of strength is just a convenience. It does not require systematic training to have decent combat power.
In this world, humans have never been weak.
Strong human beings may not be a threat to stage five, but there are many strong people who can slash at stage four with a holmium weapon, and there are many who can kill stage three alone - in the dark world of bullets, there is ancient martial arts.
The Tendo family in Tokyo has an ancient martial arts tradition.
You’d better not mention ancient martial arts, but as long as it really exists in the world view, Jiuzhou will be excited.
The cursed children do have innate advantages, but it is pure daydreaming for a bunch of idiots to rely on this advantage to match the old masters who have practiced day after day for decades.
In Kyushu, there are not just one or two such people.
If you let a martial arts master face hot weapons, the hail of bullets will form a network that no one can break through.
But you let a martial arts master fight against a stage 4 opponent that ordinary hot weapons cannot defeat...
You idiot over there, get out of the way. Move back and I'll kill two of them.
Humans cannot fight large-scale protostomes head-on with force, but as long as they have seen the attack methods of large-scale protostomes and found their weaknesses, they can let the army deal with low-level protostomes, and the strong ones can rush in with their knives and hit the core of the large-scale protostomes.
Protocolates are all mutations, so naturally they don't have a sophisticated and flawless defense mechanism.
Therefore, Jiuzhou really does not take the combat capability of the cursed child seriously.
After entering the modern era, cold weapons were not used in many occasions. Now that there is an opportunity to chop protostomes, those who practice martial arts are like chicken blood, fearing that if they are slow, the high-level protostomes will be chopped off by others.
What's the point of just chopping at stage three? Stage three has no strength or speed, so it's all a waste of my newly made sword. This is just pure physical work.
The fourth stage of chopping is called fighting. If you are hit head-on by the protogastric animal, you will die. Carefully licking the blood with the tip of the knife is a technical job.
Among the cursed children, even some with high qualifications and good combat capabilities were "discriminated against".
The obvious statement is that we, the older generation, are here, so it is not your turn to go to the battlefield.
The real thought is that we are all afraid that there are not enough challenging protogasters to share, and you cursed children still want to share them?
After the emergence of protogastric animals, each region had its own problems.
For example, Tokyo is blocked from the outside world by protostomes, has an imperfect industrial chain, and is short of various supplies, so it can only survive.
For example, Kyushu - damn, that gastrula passed by again and disrupted the railroad tracks we just built. Isn’t that annoying!
Could you military please be more careful? We have cleaned up several times, so how come there are still some fish that slipped through the net?
In Kyushu, the protostomes even became a promotion for the unscrupulous martial arts hall.
Similar to: "Do you like white hair and red eyes? Are you a veteran red-eye fan? Do you want to find a red-eye as your partner in the future?
Are you worried that your red-eyed significant other will suddenly turn into a gastrula?
So what are you waiting for? Call 100110 and sign up for my martial arts school. In just one cycle, you will be able to fight against a stage gastrula.
No need for 980,000, no need for 98,000, just 9,800. A protostomach is not a problem in the one-on-one stage.
A marriage that you can rest assured in is the real good one! "
Jiuzhou does not need the fighting power of the cursed children at all, which leads to the cursed children in Jiuzhou becoming the most vulnerable group.
The cursed children in other regions, even in Tokyo, are being treated extremely badly now, but this must only be temporary.
Because the cursed children hold power and have made contributions, they should enjoy certain rights.
But it is not the case for the cursed children of Kyushu. The cursed children of Kyushu live in dire straits.
Even if the cursed child is determined to have a stable mind in the future, he will still need to undergo regular retraining and education.
For the cursed children, Kyushu calls this the lifelong compulsory education system.
After the Holy Emperor finished talking about the situation in Jiuzhou, Su Qing was silent for a moment.
Su Qing coughed dryly and suppressed his laughter.
Su Qing couldn't help laughing out loud.
Not to mention that he doesn't have any portable space now and has no ability to bring the cursed children back to the box garden, even if he has the ability, he won't take them.
...Just use hard work as your boat and row slowly in the ocean of learning!
The cursed children outside Kyushu, whether they are regarded as saviors or monitored by international organizations, are gradually gaining their own rights in their own way.
It may not be satisfactory for the time being, but this is only normal. What the cursed children lack now is probably the antidote to the enterovirus, which is the most critical issue.
After laughing, Su Qing looked at the Holy Emperor who was pinching the corner of his clothes and looking a little uneasy.
"Other families have their own situations, why is it so difficult for you?"
It is a fact that Tokyo does not even have a law to protect the cursed children, and it is also a fact that the bill named to protect the cursed children is actually called the "New Law on Protostomes".
The Holy Emperor's heart tightened slightly, she knew the topic would return here, because in Tokyo, and even in the whole of Japan, the treatment of the cursed children was lacking in style and standard.
——If the boss gets angry, the Tokyo district will be gone.
When God sent the flood, he felt that the earth was dirty, so he only let Noah survive the flood. But it does not mean that the world is so dirty that Noah is the only good person.
It is possible that they find Tokyo's treatment of the Cursed Children disgusting and that they want to destroy the Cursed Children in the Tokyo district as well.
The Holy Emperor took a deep breath, bit his lips, and tried to stay calm, then asked, "What reason do you want to know?"
Su Qing knocked on the desk.
"All."
Chapter 18: Backing Up
The Holy Emperor's eyes were a little vague.
The situation of the cursed children in Tokyo is the ultimate interpretation of the word inhumane.
She didn't dare to lie because there was a possibility of being exposed. She would only lie in front of people who didn't know her own limits unless she didn't care about Tokyo anymore.
…but she gets to decide the order in which they are told.
The Holy Emperor encouraged himself in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "The current situation of the Cursed Children in the Tokyo District is the problem of me and Tendou Kikunosuke."
After saying this, the Holy Emperor felt relieved.
No matter what the result is, she finally confessed this first step.
Paying attention to Su Qing's expression, the Holy Emperor whispered, "Sir, what do you think about the future of mankind?"
Su Qing commented truthfully: "It is gradually recovering."
"That's right. After resuscitation, the protostomia virus does not have the ability to destroy humans." The Holy Emperor said faintly, "Protostomia has appeared for ten years. In the past ten years, humans have gone from being unable to adapt to it at the beginning to now developing various weapons to restrain protostomia."
"What about the protogastrics?"
"Ten years ago, there were twelve stage five protostomes. Now, there is not a single newly born stage five. Instead, several have been conquered by humans."
"Protocolates have no ability to innovate. They failed to completely destroy human civilization in the beginning. So what reason do humans have to lose later?"
"The battle between humans and gastrula will continue for a long time, but it is expected that in ten to twenty years, the focus will no longer be on the war between humans and gastrula, but on how humans can establish a new international order."
The Holy Emperor sighed: "The island nation has been split into five parts and has no qualifications to participate. If it were you, my Lord, what would you do?"
Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "Join a party that has the ability to participate in it."
"My ancestors thought so too." The Holy Emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency Tiantong is visiting Kyushu now."
Tokyo is too close to Kyushu and too far from America. Today, the ocean is still the domain of protostomes. If Tokyo District wants to go all the way with America, which has no fleet, it would be courting death.
"It is precisely because Tokyo is leaning towards Kyushu..." The Holy Emperor shook his head slightly: "I am the third Holy Emperor of Tokyo District. Within ten years after the emergence of protostomes, two Holy Emperors have died in assassinations."
Before the emergence of protostomes, Japan also had a spiritual leader similar to the Holy Emperor, but at that time he was just a pure spiritual leader without any real power.
After the emergence of the protostomes, after the spiritual leader was crowned as the Holy Emperor, the real power gradually returned to the hands of successive Holy Emperors. Now, Tendo Kikunosho is also gradually returning power to the Holy Emperor.
The Holy Emperor said: "The Americans do not want Tokyo to side with Kyushu, and Tokyo already has many pro-American factions. Even though our predecessors were very careful, they were still assassinated twice in ten years."
Tokyo is so important.
Today's Japan is divided into five regions, and its economy and military are both half-crippled, but it has one trump card that no one can ignore.
Resources.
Holmium metal can inhibit the self-healing ability of protostomes. Holmium mines only appear in volcanic islands. Japan is the country with the largest holmium reserves in the world.
If Japan could survive the initial attack of the protostomes, relying on its rich holmium mines and forming alliances, it might have become one of the world's top powers after the war.
——For example, Japan's Ladder Project, which used almost all of Japan's national strength to build weapons at the end of the Gastrula War. The orbital cannon, which can accelerate metal to sub-light speed, was a preparation for the aftermath of the Gastrula War.
But Japan was fractured.
While being invaded by protostomes, the upper echelons were conducting scientific research and building wonders. Japan eventually couldn't hold on and was suddenly divided into five regions.
