In the last episode of "Secret War", the sky full of bombers appeared and began to bombard indiscriminately.
It seems that it takes 140 words to publish, so let’s talk about the content of this episode
1. The author of this episode is David Amendola. He released a short story called "secret war" on SANFU in 2016, which is the cartoon episode. The author is suspected to be the author of RED SUN MAGAZINE, so he wrote this A novel with a Soviet background is not surprising.
2. It is mentioned in the plot that the time to summon such a monster was after the retreat of the White Army in November 1919. The White Army here should refer to the former Tsarist Russian Admiral Kolchak who was supported by European capitalist countries (the reason will be explained later). speak). Combined with the pictures of ice and snow in the animation, it is probably in Siberia? Because historically, from August to December 1919, the Soviet Union and Kolchak fought fiercely in Siberia. At the beginning of the war, the Soviet Red Army did not have an advantage. Combined with animation, it may be possible to carry out Operation Hades. , summoning monsters that can fight alongside the Red Army. But there is a loophole in the animation. Historically, on October 16, 1919, the Soviet 5th Army had rushed to the Topol River as reinforcements, forming an overwhelming advantage over the White Army. In the animation, he also said that the White Army retreated in November. At this time, there is no need to carry out the Hades operation.
3. Operation Hades. Hades is the king of the underworld in Greek mythology. The action of Hades in the animation is to find the creatures in folk mythology. Is it possible to imply that the evil creatures in the animation come from hell?
4. The full name of Chekachka is the All-Russian Committee for Elimination of Counter-Revolutionaries and Sabotage. It is an intelligence organization of the former Soviet Union and was renamed the National Security Committee in 1954, which is the famous intelligence organization of the former Soviet Union KGB. Russian President Vladimir Putin is from the KGB
5. The secret language of the Cossacks In 1919, the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party passed a secret order (for archives, see "Communist of the CPSU Central Committee", No. 6, 1989, pages 177-178) to purge the Cossacks and to take measures against the rich among the Cossacks. large-scale terrorist activity. Because during the Russian Civil War, the Cossacks were the core of the White Army (the Cossacks had 6 major branches, all of which were nomads, much like the Mongols, of which the Cossack cavalry was notorious during the revolution), so the Soviet Union was hostile to the Cossacks at that time. Combined with the content of the cartoon, why are the hostile Cossacks present when the Cheka personnel are summoning such top-secret evil creatures? The only possibility is that the Cossacks present at least know the skills of sacrificial summoning. The Soviet soldier who looks like an Asian in the animation is a Cossack himself. When the troops entered the woods and began to observe the scratches on the trees, he said that his people thought it was a curse. Combined with the content of the previous Hades operation, it should be possible to draw the following inference: the monsters in the animation are monsters in the Cossack mythology system, so there will be Cossacks at the sacrifice scene.
6. Mysterious Symbol During the sacrificial activities in 1919, the shaman drew a mysterious symbol on the forehead of the Cheka officer Grishin. Should be this:
This symbol is derived from the sign of death in the ancient Norse Teutonic language. The tyrant Nero crucified Saint Peter and turned the cross upside down, which became a very popular symbol among pagans at the time, and such words were later used by pagans in spells and curses used by black magicians. Therefore, it is not surprising that this symbol was painted on Grishin's forehead at the sacrifice site.
With the explanation here, we can combine the history, modify a few details, and roughly talk about my speculation about this story:
In 1919, during the Russian Civil War, the Soviet Eastern Front pursued the Kolchak unit of the White Army, but was killed by the Kolchak unit. For Operation Hades, Boris Grishin was dispatched to carry out Operation Hades as a Cheka secret police and himself as a warlock. In November 1919, Grishin came to southern Russia to summon evil creatures with the local Cossacks. At that time, the internal environment of Russia was hostile to the Cossacks, and a large number of poor peasants were moved into the areas where the Cossacks lived to divide their land equally. Therefore, some Cossacks held grudges, and the Cossacks moved their hands and feet in the sacrificial ceremony. The creature did not obey the command and began to slaughter wantonly. Grishin also died in the massacre.
In the following two decades, more and more slaughter monsters poured out of the surface, wanton massacres of the surrounding villagers, the situation became more and more serious, so that at the critical moment when Stalingrad was besieged by the German Nazis, the Soviet Union also sent a Task Force to fix the monster slaughter mess.
In a certain month in 1943, when the battle for Stalingrad was at its most intense, the protagonist's company and another company entered the incident area. Due to the lack of troops and the major's brain, the two companies scattered into the woods to fight against the enemy. meet fire. During the break, the protagonist found Grishin's diary, learned the source of the evil creature, and understood that this was a serious consequence caused by the mistake of the superior. Such a consequence is not something that a company of their mere company can bear, and what he can do is not Let the superior correct the mistake, but silently wipe the superior's ass clean. Therefore, watching another company under the cliff exchange fire with the slaughtering monsters at night, the protagonist chose to remain silent and did not go to support. The next day, he led the company to the mine where the monsters slaughtered and poured out of the ground. He tried to block the passage of the monsters to the surface by blowing up the mine, but he didn't expect it. The blast widened the hole, and countless monsters poured out. Out, so the protagonist led his troops to fight with monsters, left the area for the protagonist's son, reported the coordinates and asked the air force to bomb to gain time. Finally the animation ends in the sky full of bombers.
What does this have to do with the title of the animated drama "Love Dead"?
This episode is about love and death. At the beginning of this episode, there are only dead skeletons and a five-pointed star symbolizing the Soviet Union. The child turned out to be the son of the protagonist. The whole company let the child go alone. This is the expectation of leaving seeds to build an army, and it is also the love of adults (excluding the father's original fatherly love) for the child.
What does slaughtering monsters represent?
Before the bombing, there was a scene where monsters were fighting each other or eating or loitering on the surface. Such a scene is no different from ordinary creatures. They look like a normal creature race. They just love to kill. The predators of nature include humans, which is not the case? So what do the monsters represent? Their appearance is caused by human's own selfish desires. They are also normal biological races, so they were summoned to the surface, and finally killed by bombers. Perhaps it is also an irony to human beings.
The code words on the mobile phone are extremely tiring, and there may be personal misunderstandings and limited ability.
