The 32nd story of a full-length business novel.
However, modernized businesses and/or warfare’s cannot be solved by the conventional wisdom of generations. After all, like historied generals they are faced with innumerous, faceless, and brutal war games. Thus, they have to survive the chaotic battlefront with belly guns and chariots as if they were ‘trigger-happy’ warriors. That is the stern reality in this earthly competition.
For the reason, they have already demonstrated their steely will by using colorful slogans, cookie-cutter posters, enticing placards with catching phrases, logos, crests and mascots, emblems, bearings and everything. All of them are propagandas. Right, they’re merely image-making gadgets as commercial tools. With the tools they are to entrance the public as well as to rise to popularity.
Nowadays, propagandas have been plastered at every nook and corner all over the world. Those are seen even in the sky. They are advertising or shape balloons or zeppelins as if they were talismans. But, they are not talismans but ‘battle cries’ before the War. Indeed, all catchphrases and everything are vouchers to prelude the upcoming War. And the prelude will drag all of them into the cockpit. If so, the engrossing slogans and the others are merely the prologue for the Battle Royal.
For such a reason the worldwide powers have used lots of captivating slogans as tools of string-pulling. Then, they could have justified their limitless campaigns so far as if the entire global stage were a huge cockpit. That is the reason why they believe that this campaign is worth fighting for to the last. They are confident that only victorious campaigns can guarantee their survival even in the 24 Hours of Le Mans (). After all, they will never desert their worthwhile dream until the complete conquest of the whole world ‘under a single sword.’Otherwise, the fighting will be stopped and finished with thorough defeat and/or death in the end just as the legendary British car racer, Sir Sterling Moss, did in the past. Below was the climax of his days at the Nürburgring in 1961. (Source: Wikipedia, Lothar Spurzem)
Already tough actions and tactical reactions have begun when they lifted up slogans and showed trademarks. The God’s number, ‘O’, has passed. And the zero hour has come as if a sniper sneaked his hands to the pistol. Faceless fighting has started with their saber-rattling.
Unknowingly the world situation has plunged into a Battle Royal drastically. Presently, it seems to be extremely unstable and dangerous like in the ‘fog of war.’ Today’s friend cannot be equal to tomorrow’s friend. Rather he may be tomorrow’s enemy. In turn, yesterday’s enemy cannot be tomorrow’s enemy. The foe in the past might be a friend in the distant future. All of them except himself may be his hereditary enemy, real or potential. In all, all is enemy. All is fighting against all in this inexorable world.
Certainly, each of the Pretenders has truly the only one contest between him and everyone else in this World Cup Game like the Le Mans or Daytona Series. There is no other contest. And, that is the rule in this earthly world. There is no other rule. Reversely, it is the very rule for victory. There is no exception. In this relentless rivalry, innumerous gunmen were gone. For instance, William C. Durant was called the most powerful and fearless fighter in the American wilderness in the early 20th century. (Below was his real face in forties. Source: Wikipedia)
Nobody did match him. Like EMF he rose up from a commoner. But he was so much bright and insightful. With his stunning intellect and brilliant maneuvering he could have undermined and threatened the Car King Ford, of course, together with his horseless chariots. Then he was about to sit down on the throne as new King instead of him. Indeed he was an inch away from there.
At the right moment he met across his nemesis. The nemesis was not Henry Ford at all. There was not any other challenger in North America except him himself.
Nonetheless, he had to meet with another figure. From the summit of the mountain, the figure had been looking down on him for a long time. So he knew of him very well and understood what he had done courageously throughout his life.
Astounded by his daring conducts he began to envy his successive, lucky victories so much. Then he was waiting for him from the zenith for so many years. Then and there, they met each other. It was the first meeting. Shortly after that, the legendary warrior and the fateful nemesis had to make a duel of fates. The nemesis was no other than the very figure. The figure was ‘Oh, Fortuna.’
Here, the Duel happened unexpectedly. At the duel the zippy American did not win him even if he was a most daring and intelligent fighter like the bossyboots Barry Lyndon. (Below was his painting. Source: www.groovesharks.com)
Already his days were gone. Now he was an old man with 76 years old. So, it was a losing fight. Indeed he could not win him even with his convulsive effort. Rather he was heavily defeated and deadly hurt. Then he tumbled down to the nadir and was dead. It was the finale of the American Sarabande Duel. And it was the finality of the one-time bravest and most brutal American gunman, William C. Durant. ()
Except him, do not mention any other gunfighters armed with Russian or British rifles ().,,,,,,,,,,,Rover with Viking spirit (), a French Panhard ()and a German, self-proclaiming,,with the image of dragon,,, and you name it. All American & British, Russian & French, German, Italian & Spanish bossyboots were, also, gone.
Nonetheless, it is not possible to stop their successors’ behaviors. Rather, it has stirred their adventurous mind. Yes, it was just the BOT (Beginning of Tape). And it was literally the Hot BOT like the search engine. Indeed they, like predecessors, have possessed the same mind with the same daring characters. And they have bet everything on one play as if they had been men of great caliber. Now they are about to dash against the most fearful figure, Oh, Fortuna. Further they are to get the golden champion belt () of Marmon with the search engine. In all, it won’t be possible to imagine that such heroic men give up their colorful dreams and endless desire for power. Actually all of it is the very reason for them to make a live. From this point of view, such a life-risking, close battle, that is, Battle Royal, won’t end so long as such professional prospectors remain in this earthly land. Truly, it must be the ongoing present. So, the situation becomes much more dangerous and uncertain over time.
In retrospect, there have never been such large transnational troops with their monstrous chariots from all over the world in world history. In particular, they are now using high-performance backfit and Machiavellian tactics to get the sublime. Then they are to get the vantage ground to be the Pretender to the throne of the world. In reality, however, the target of fighting is broad, moving and mobile everywhere. There is no defense line in this blue satellite that could be strongly held. Over time the war will escalate up to the high-end and expand to the end of the satellite at sea, at land, and in the air. After all, the battlefront is endless, boundless, faceless, snarling and smoldering. All of it is a globally ongoing situation. And it is unique in modern war. Confusing and confusing and then frustrating with time . . . in this invisible White War. Tragedy begins from here. Paradoxically, however, it will be the forth-coming Battle Royale that may lead to a new and better world in the hungry land.
