Chapter 743: Iron Blood and Musical Notes
Standing outside a relatively majestic-looking theater, Qin Ge smiled and said to Frederick the Great, "This is it."
"Theater, haha, it seems that my child has discovered the beauty of the symphony and is ready to start listening carefully?" Frederick the Great did not look surprised at all, and still focused his attention on Qin Ge as usual.
Brother Qin felt that even if he didn't bring her here, or went to any other place, the tone would be the same.
"Don't you feel a little surprised?" Qin Ge said helplessly.
Frederick the Great smiled and said, "Maybe in other camps, if you take me to the symphony orchestra's theater, I might still be surprised, but this is Iron Blood.
My child, do you know the essence of iron and blood? "
Qin Ge thought for a moment, "Being serious and responsible about things, and showing no mercy to the enemy, isn't that right?"
Frederick the Great smiled and shook his head. "It seems that my child does not understand the true nature of Iron Blood, or the evaluation of Bismarck and others has had too profound an impact on you."
Qin Ge was speechless, "Then can the Great Emperor tell me what the essence of Iron Blood is?"
"Although I can easily tell you the answer, you have to experience it yourself to understand it. And today you brought me here, this is a very good opportunity. Let's go to a symphony concert together, and then you will probably know what iron and blood is." said Frederick the Great.
With a hint of doubt and a search for the essence of iron and blood, Qin Ge and Frederick the Great entered the theater together.
Because Belfast had specifically told him the performance time beforehand, he was able to arrive just in time.
As the symphony began, notes began to dance in every corner of the concert hall, and Qin Ge and Frederick the Great slowly became silent.
In the world of music, time seemed to have lost its concept. When Qin Ge came to his senses, the symphony had ended and deafening applause rang out around him.
He glanced at Frederick the Great, who was sitting next to him, and saw that she was also clapping slowly and nodding approvingly.
Perhaps sensing Qin Ge's gaze, Frederick the Great turned around and smiled, "How do you feel?"
"It was an unforgettable symphony concert. Tiexue's music really lived up to its reputation." Qin Ge responded with a smile.
"Haha, then my child, what do you feel is the essence of iron and blood now?" Frederick the Great asked with a smile.
What is the essence of iron and blood? Qin Ge had given the answer before, but it did not meet Frederick the Great's expectations. Now after watching this symphony concert, Qin Ge felt that he had a new understanding.
With a flash of inspiration, he suddenly remembered the book that his mentor recommended to them when they were studying Germany's classic battles in the two world wars in his own world.
"Iron Blood and Music".
Bismarck, the famous German Iron Chancellor, once said, "Music can evoke two completely different desires in my heart, one is war, the other is idyllic tranquility."
When talking about Germany, people always perfectly combine the two completely different fields of war and music, as if this is the essence of Germany.
Just as the Iron Chancellor Bismarck had Beethoven's Fifth Symphony playing in his home when he attacked Austria.
War and music, order and romance, perhaps this is the nature engraved in the bones of the Germans.
Because they lack self-confidence, they work hard, strictly abide by the rules and regulations, and want more power.
It is precisely because of this lack of self-confidence and desire to be respected that they conquer neighboring countries that are richer than themselves, are keen to establish class relationships between superiors and subordinates and masters and servants, teach their young people to be brave and fearless, and regard obedience as a virtue and duty.
It is precisely because of this lack of confidence that they care a lot about what others think of them. They want to be as perfect as possible in the eyes of others, and this contradiction is fully reflected in art.
In Beethoven's music, the gentle adagio and the triumphal march are always connected and harmonious. Even Wagner, whose musical style is not so sincere, reveals a dangerous fusion of these two elements in his works and in his life.
Thinking of this, looking at the unintentional actions of those iron-blooded people of all kinds when the scene was dispersing around him, Qin Ge seemed to understand something.
"Order and romance, reason and madness, are always on a journey of exploration. I want to rely on iron and blood to find a place without iron and blood." Qin Ge said with a smile, "It feels a bit contradictory."
"Haha, you are worthy of being my child." Frederick the Great's eyes sparkled with joy. Hearing Qin Ge's answer seemed to make her happier than this date.
"Iron Blood's existence is inherently contradictory. She transforms her love and admiration into an inner desire to conquer and destroy. This is her essence, and the essence of all Iron Blood high-level officials."
As Frederick the Great spoke, the two men walked out of the theater and walked aimlessly along the road.
"I feel that today's date is more like your teaching to me, the Great Emperor. I had clearly made preparations in the hotel, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Qin Ge said with a wry smile.
"You are my child, and it is natural for me to want you to become more perfect. After all, I am also an iron-blooded ship girl. Order and romance, reason and madness also exist in me." Frederick the Great said with a smile.
Qin Ge shook his head. "But I feel that you, the Great Emperor, are more rational, just like now."
"That's because I have hidden my madness, my child. So you can act as spoiled as you want to me, more, more..." A strange feeling emerged from Frederick the Great, and this feeling was greed and desire.
Qin Ge understood in an instant, perhaps this was the complete Frederick the Great, possessing extraordinary rationality, but also possessing sufficient desires. Before, asking Qin Ge to explore the essence of iron and blood was more like exploring her own essence.
"Sure enough, I will always be like a child in front of you." Qin Ge couldn't help but smile and took out the oath ring he had prepared.
"In fact, it's not just you, the Great Emperor, I also have desires. I hope you can be happier, I hope you can accept this ring, I hope you can become my wedding ship, I hope you can accompany me throughout my life.
Although now is not the best time, I hope you can promise me."
Looking at the ring of oath in front of him, Frederick the Great did not catch it immediately, but directly hugged Qin Ge in his arms.
"Ah... It's unfolding like a dream... Then let's continue writing this beautiful music forever and ever, my child."
