Since then on, they have sought for the power of Imperium. As a result, their limitless ambition and pursuit of glory came to bring them into the bloody struggles. And then, they came to follow in their predecessors’ footsteps just as Alexander, Genghis Khan, Caesar, Napoleon and the other did it in the past. To their eyes, the struggle, even if smothering, is not rewardless. It is but an opportunity costto realize a dream.
Once Napoleon said to his men by quoting the French maxim that:
“You know victory without risk is a triumph without glory. The best victory comes after a tough battle. Let’s do it for the victory with glory.”
(Below was the portrait of Napoleon at the age of 23 as L’Enfant Terrible of France. Source: Wikipedia)
Here the current dynamos meet their twins in the mirror. The mirror has already said that:
“You are the very reincarnation of the past L’Enfant Terrible. Or, you are the resemblances of the past heroic figures like the Greek warrior or the Mongolian man-at-arms. Otherwise, you look like the young and hopeful EMF in the bras era of the United States.”
In fact, they, as confirmed gamblers as well as their successors, have already set up their own exorbitant grand design with their can-do-spirit. Now they are going their way fearlessly in this global battlefront.
Then they are, like the heroic predecessors, to fulfill their brimming ideas and unite all of the powers into One Nation under the single sword. In this point, their goal is clear like their predecessors’ one. It is to capture the absolute power and rule over the entire world as if they were designated as King of the Four Corners in the World. As a result, the Big War is inevitable and imminent to fight against each other and to capture the crown of the world. Indeed, to them, carriers and revolvers are simply peacemakers to stop the war. Right, they do think so and act as such.
In this relation, there are two prominent figures on the war theory. The one was Carl von Clausewitz. He, as a splendid military theorist in Prussia, said of the war as below:
‘War is an extension of politics by other means. So the military are the means by which to gain political goals.’
The other figure was Winston S. Churchill. The greatest British statesman agreed with the Prussian enthusiastically as if he had been another passionate warmonger. Then he threw a comment on the war glowingly that:
‘War is the finest activity on earth.’
To everybody, in this point, Winston Churchill seems to be far from a man of reason. And his words sound absurd and controversial. (Below is Churchill in military uniform at the age of 21. Source: Wikipedia)
Nonetheless, the British Prime Minister unsurprisingly asserted unflinchingly that:
“War is not the worstthat could happen. Rather it’s a legitimate instrument of policy as the customary relationship between great powers.”
Like Clausewitz or Churchill, all the world powers have vindicated the campaigns and justified them on their behalf. Then, all of them, like either confirmed gamblers or risk-takers, are resolute to make resolutions to find out Imperial Jade. Then they are to rule over the world. In this point, they are all realists in pursuit of the victory and the stunning glory as if they were prosperous governors over the world.
Right, they are not idealists even if they pretend to be taintless and goody-goody Christian or Confucian, Capitalist or Communist, Islamite, Buddhist or Hindu, Zoroastrian, and the other. Correct, there is no difference in their hidden mind. It is a blunt fact throughout human’s long history.
Already, the God’s Book revealed that:
“Expediency should never come at the expense of excellence.”
Then the Book candidly posited the definite conclusion of expediencywithout delay that:
“All men’s efforts are for his mouth,
yet his appetite is never satisfied.”
The saying was, is and will be true. Even to the ordinary peoples’ naked eyes, the world powers look like deer hunters who are full of animal spirits or merchants of death with mercenary motive.
Willy-nilly, therefore, they will meet their match in the World Cup Game. The match list has been already prepared for them. Here, it is not important whether the match list is one-on-one match or return match. In the end, the match will be a must-see sight as if the theater were the Supermodel Contest organized by Ford Models. Reportedly, the Model Contest selects the sexiest Top Model of the Year in the world among more or less 60, 000 contenders. They come from all over the countries and attend there to be the Super Model in the world.
Like the Contest, all the participants are gathered here, at the Coliseum. However, it has a big problem. This ongoing Contest is far distant from the Beauty Contest such as Ford Models or Hollywood’s Creative Artists Agency () or Federation Internationale de l’Automobile ().
This Contest is not artificially organized by humans for Beauty, Fashion, Talent, Automobile Speed or entertainment.
Further, it is not a sort of turbulent and somewhat fraudulent combat sports, WWE (), or shiny and luxurious Worldwide Motor Shows at all. To be sure, the Contest has not been held to select a gross player with the trophy of beauty, amazing speed, or sensational fashion or so. Once again it has not been made by human beings. Nobody has created it. Nobody has sponsored it.
