Chapter 808 Civilization and Barbarism (Third update, please subscribe)
"Nanyang is a country composed of eight central cities. Leaving these eight prosperous central cities, you can see plantations and rainforests everywhere. Modern civilization and wild rainforests are perfectly combined on this land. ”
——"Travel to Nanyang"
By 1953, the world no longer seemed unfamiliar with Nanyang, and Nanyang’s products had already entered thousands of households. With a wide variety of commodities, a developed economy and several central cities, people's understanding of Nanyang is limited to this.
What can represent Nanyang?
Is it an elegant white swan?
of course not!
Instead, it is a bullet train running at high speed on the railway line. The white bullet train travels through the green rainforest, which is a beautiful landscape painting in itself.
"...The high-speed train will be entering the station soon. Passengers waiting on the platform, please stand in line inside the yellow safety line. When the train stops, get on in the order of first getting off, then getting on... …”
A gentle breeze. From time to time, the wind blows on the platform, blowing away the heat on the platform. Passengers move around quickly or slowly, preparing to embark on their journey.
A European woman wearing a khaki shirt and shorts stood with her feet inside the yellow safety line, her eyes always staring at the roadbed and track.
It seemed that she was deep in thought and looking at something carefully.
Coincidentally, after getting in the car, Higgins found that the man's seat was right next to him.
There were not many or few passengers waiting on the platform, and a few Europeans were walking towards us with backpacks on their backs. One of the men was tall and handsome.
Following his line of sight, there was nothing else but the roadbed and tracks.
In the past few months, she has been interviewing in Nanyang, except that she did not put Nanyang under the microscope. Of course, she also got the news she wanted, in Nanyang, a country that seems like a paradise on the surface. , but there are many dark sides - such as the enslavement of prisoners of war, the oppression of indigenous people, etc.
Seeing that Higgins was a little confused, the man smiled slightly and repeated it in English.
Although it is said to be a Nanyang invention, as far as Higgins knows, they have inherited many technologies from Germany.
Because of this, many technologies of the Third Reich took root in Nanyang, just like the high-speed railway in front of us.
Obviously, she is a traveler, which can be seen from the camera hanging in front of her and the military backpack on her back. The military backpack is obviously old and has signs of wear and tear in many places. It is obvious that she has been Traveling around for a long time.
"Please stand in line inside the yellow safety line!"
Her reports naturally caused a sensation in the United States, but the Nanyang officials were naturally very dissatisfied with these reports, and could even be said to be angry, but they did not expel her.
In short, in Higgins' view, this is a sanctimonious country on the surface, but deep down it is...Nazi. This is most likely due to the influence of the Nazi war criminals it sheltered. She even found the secret of the rise of Nanyang—— Using Nazi war criminals, to a large extent, Nanyang is another Third Reich, a Third Reich wrapped in an Asian coat.
It is precisely because of this convenience that she has traveled half of Southeast Asia in the past few months and written a large number of news reports.
"beep……"
After all, Nanyang is still a very civilized and civilized country.
Nanyang is even described as the last group of colonial rulers on earth.
Staring at the end of the track, when she saw the bullet train approaching in the distance, she picked up her camera and took a photo. If there are colleagues here, you will definitely recognize this woman as Higgins, who won the Pulitzer Prize.
It even revealed to the world another unknown side of Nanyang...the protector of Nazi war criminals, the racists, and of course the colonial rulers.
But it is true that the emergence of high-speed rail has brought a lot of changes to people's lives. Like many people, Higgins now also likes to take the high-speed rail when traveling. After all, it is faster and more convenient, and it is also comparable to the subway. The urban railway has achieved seamless connection.
At the whistle, the station staff shouted loudly.
Probably woken up by the station announcement, Higgins slowly looked away, first looked down at his feet to make sure they were within the yellow line, and then looked around.
After putting away their luggage, the man took the initiative to talk to Higgins, speaking in Chinese:
"Hello, miss, can we get acquainted."
Facing the man's approach, Higgins did not refuse and said:
"Okay, nice to meet you. My name is Margaret?"
The other party continued to say in English:
"Nice to meet you, Margaret. Are you traveling to Nanyang?"
"Yes, this is a very charming country." While the two were talking, the train had already started, but in just a moment, the speed of the train exceeded one hundred kilometers per hour, and the speed continued to increase, and they were While chatting like this, it was obvious to Higgins that she was very interested in this handsome man.
"I plan to go to Dongning, the Aboriginal reserve on Irian Island."
"Aboriginal reserve? Is it a place where Aboriginal people live?"
Higgins was immediately interested.
"Yes, but the indigenous people there are different from here. Their skin color is dark, similar to black people. To a certain extent, they are excluded. You know, black people are even more unwelcome here..."
If she was just interested at the beginning, then Higgins is full of interest now. After all, what she needs is to reveal the truest side of Nanyang to the world, and only in this way can she attract the attention of the outside world, so she immediately asked.
"Can I go with you? I have never been to Dongning. I heard that it is also a very beautiful place."
"Of course, you know? Not only is the scenery there beautiful, but the locals are also very simple..."
……
Half a month later, Higgins accompanied Tom and others to Dongning. After visiting the Aboriginal Affairs Officer, he was finally allowed to enter the Aboriginal Reserve.
Although it is also a rainforest, the rainforest also has its boundaries. All the way up the river, after the boat reached an area where it could not travel, Higgins saw a warning sign.
"Aboriginal protected area, no entry allowed."
"You should be aware that there are multiple tribes living in this protected area. In addition to a few tribes that have some contact with the outside world, there are also some cannibals. You should pay attention to your own safety."
As they were about to enter the depths of the rainforest, officials from the Aboriginal Affairs Department once again warned them that the reserve was dangerous and there were consequences. They were even asked to write a guarantee letter, promising that they would be responsible for any consequences.
"You guys need to understand that the rainforest is filled with many unknown dangers. It's not too late for you to regret it now."
Faced with the warning, neither Higgins nor Tom and others hesitated at all, and they walked towards the shore without hesitation.
After passing the boundary of the protected area with warning signs and walking in the dense rainforest for several days, the group finally met the indigenous people.
About ten feet away, between the trees, several dark-skinned natives stood looking at Higgins and those beside her. Their appearance is extremely ferocious, which can be said to be the ultimate level of imagination!
The leading man was the tallest black man Higgins had ever seen. He had a bone needle inserted into his nose, wore a grass skirt, held a long thatch, and hung many beads around his neck. When he opened his mouth, he spoke in a dialect that no one could understand.
"Tom, they, they..."
Higgins could feel the danger in their eyes. Thinking of the cannibals mentioned by Tom and others along the way, her instinctive fear made her retreat continuously.
"Run!"
Suddenly, Tom said to Higgins.
"They're cannibals!"
As soon as the voice fell, Tom pulled her and ran in the opposite direction. The natives behind were howling and chasing them. Soon, the group of people ran away in the rain forest. Higgins kept running. She just regretted that her parents had lost two legs. Just when she was trying her best to run away, something suddenly tripped her feet and she fell to the ground. Just when she was about to stand up, a black man Shadow rushed to his side.
"Ah, help..."
Before Higgins could shout out, she saw a native swinging a stick and hitting her on the head.
Then Higgins's eyes darkened and he fell unconscious...
A few days later, the U.S. Consulate in Dongning received a clue from the local police department, stating that "American reporter Margaret Higgins was attacked by primitive tribesmen when she entered an Aboriginal reserve to interview. She is currently alive and dead." Unsure.”
The disappearance of a well-known reporter naturally caused a sensation in the United States, but that was all. After all, everyone basically knew from the news reports that Higgins fell into the hands of the cannibal indigenous tribe. In this case, it must be a disaster.
It is also through the long and exhausting reports of American public opinion that the world has seen another side of Nanyang... There are still many uncivilized primitive tribes here.
It is also the other side of civilization, barbarism.
