angel who never falls

He rode a bright red fighter into the air, and a smile crossed his mouth. This was a confident smile. In the sky, the Red Baron was the ruler. For those army soldiers who step on filthy soil, wear gas masks, and smash corpses and bones to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, whether they live or die like ants, the aerial battle above their heads is like a battle of angels. The one who has the Angel of War is lucky, and he is undoubtedly the hope of this war. Fighting in the sky is often full of chasing, maneuvering, and hunting, but it is not fatal. For example, knights sprint uninterruptedly. The height between man and god is determined. Heaven is free and lonely, and opponents are worthy of cherishing. This may be the last romance and elegance in the history of war, whether you are flying, or slipping... However, the outcome of World War I is not something that European royalty and air warriors can decide. It is money and technology. The red baron has learned the secret of victory already, waiting for the opportunity to fight only the opponents he is sure of, otherwise he will run away, not because of cowardice, but precise calculation and balance. He figured out that the war would fail, and the generals also figured it out, but he didn't have the free and easy way he was in the sky. After all, the price of defeat was too heavy. The Red Baron was just a bargaining chip, and the generals and nobles were gamblers. A hunter's sense of smell alerted him: the war should end the backwardness of the core engine, and the successive deaths of close comrades in arms aggravated his anxiety, but the war machine could not easily stop running. He himself has even been over-proclaimed as an undefeated God of War: as long as he doesn't attack, of course he's undefeated. From the moment when the Red Baron was riding a horse and chasing the plane amid the light and the roar of the engine, it was decided that he would rise to the sky, and he was destined to fall to the sky. He will lose this battle, because he represents too many things, but he can bear and balance too few. Since he just wants to simply fly, he will always fly in the sky. What he wants to tell the soldiers is God. There will be death, Germany will fall, and there will be no glory in this war.

The Red Baron quotes

  • Manfred von Richthofen: [to Kate] When I became a pilot, I truly thought I had see everything from up there. I saw nothing. I was blind before I met you. You opened my eyes. You thought me to see what I didn't want to see. We all choose to fly. Voss, Sternberg, Lehmann, Wolff, Hawker. On whatever side we fought, we all knew the risks we took. I wanted to be the best, I wanted to win and I thought I won. But I can see now, Kate. I have seen that we have turned the world into a damn slaughter house. And I'm already too big a part of it. They're using my photograph, to give hope where there is none. They used my name to feign immortality, whereas the reality is annihilation. You said it yourself, "The men dying out there, they have no choice." I have! I cannot order them into battle. I can perhaps leads them. Help them! Die with them. But I will not betrayed them, nor keep the truth from them by remaining the immortal god's Berlin wants me to be. You... are my greatest victory.
