Chapter 56 Devil’s invention (4) Survival and Defeat of "Species" (3/3)


 

Innumerable lives had been born and died on the earth. The history of lives on the earth was a history of ups and downs and the inevitable death of the living. Lives that once flourished in a certain area were dying out. In the modern world, people designated several lives as "endangered species" and tried to keep the declining lives.

 

There were several reasons for the extinction of species. For example, the sudden extinction of dinosaurs was caused by planetary collisions resulting climatic changes. And the gradual extinction of dinosaurs was taken place by gradual and periodical climatic changes between ice ages and interglacial periods.

 

In addition, there were cases in which the indigenous species died out when the alien species invaded into. And the most barbaric case would be the extinction of specific flora and fauna due to overhunting by humans. All of these cases took place when the species were destroyed by an overwhelming external force.

  (Japanese Version)   Part II. Ethnic cleanser (21)   Chapter 42 At the party in Embassy (3) Wives of US military officers (2/3)   As a matter of fact, ladies were already bored to their husbands who talked about their bravery about the Second World War in 1940s or the Korean War of several years ago. These hero stories were worse than flat champagne. Nevertheless, their husbands kept repeating the same stories at the parties, and made the women sick and tired.   It was the height of the Cold War. In 1960, the Cuban Missile Crisis broke out in the Gulf of Mexico within easy reach of the United States. The tensions spread around the world. A few years later, the Vietnam War broke out. At first it was not considered a problem of the United States. Guerrilla activities in poor countries in Southeast Asia were nothing to do with the United States. Nobody thought that the war would leave a deep scar in the hearts of Americans in the future. The Unite...

The story was spread the image of mighty Israel against the Arabs. For the Yankees, who were Islamophobia, the story was like a thrilling western movie in which cavalry repels Native American.   Many Jews in the United States offered donations after hearing his story.

Ethnic cleanser (16)   Chapter 40 At the party in Embassy (1) walking billboard (3/3)   Ambassador continued to say, “ I believe that if Jewish people in the party will be encouraged by your story, they will donate money for Israel. And we can expect to collect more money from Jews in U.S. Your speech is your additional duty as military attaché to loosen their purse strings.”   It was his last minutes to feel somewhat out of place. Originally, he grew up in military organization, where his superiors' orders were absolute. An embassy was just like an army. The ambassador was the highest authority. No one could disobey the ambassador's orders. In addition, the embassy was dominated by staff of foreign ministry. He was nothing more than a mere soldier dispatched by the Ministry of Defense. It was a natural consequence to obey the ambassador.   (Continued)     Areha Kazuya (From an ordi...
