The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

Mo Yu tore up the newspaper on the spot, holding a submachine gun and ready to argue with the other party about the pros and cons, and have a live debate full of classical Confucian flavor.

Fortunately, Ivan had just returned from his mission and managed to stop this good sister by some means, otherwise a newspaper office in Nanjing would have physically disappeared that afternoon.

But this incident also reflects a big problem. Many people subconsciously think that yellow is not a problem.

Compared to the more direct harm of drugs and gambling, this minor issue of accelerating the lower body seems relatively harmless.

Those who think this way have fallen into a trap set by some people.

There is an old saying: pornography, gambling and drugs are inseparable.

In order to better control the girls, some brothels and whorehouses directly give them opium to smoke, making them addicted to drugs. Then these girls have nowhere to run. Even if they want to run, their drug-addicted bodies do not allow them to run too far. Once the drug addiction strikes, they will just lie on the ground and can be dragged back without much effort. Moreover, drugs can make them obedient.

If you don’t want to feel the desperate pain of a drug addiction attack, then be a good boy.

Brothels are often also casinos. Is it hard to imagine that customers would lie on the bed and smoke opium while being served by the girls? This has existed since the late Qing Dynasty. They all have their own set of things!

Brothels themselves are special profit-making places and are very profitable, so the government has to collect taxes and gangs also come to make money. Except for those brothels with big backgrounds that only need to pay tribute to fixed people, the remaining brothels and brothels are cash cows controlled by local gangs, but the taxes that should be paid still have to be paid, forming layers of exploitation on the prostitutes inside. After getting the protection of the gangs, the brothels began to touch upon the business of human trafficking.

This is the huge black industry chain formed around the sex system. It is not gray, it is black, extremely black.

But how could ordinary people possibly know so much, so deeply, and so thoroughly? Not to mention China in the old days, even in China in 2025, if relevant information is not specifically sought, it is still something that most people do not know. Ordinary people only know that pornography, gambling, and drugs are illegal.

If we want to change the whole society's atmosphere, we need ideological guidance at the government level, which is a huge project.

Especially under the rule of the Volunteer Army, the basic food and clothing of the local people can be guaranteed. However, if the problem of lust is not guided, it will immediately become a major social thunder at another level. The interests will immediately breed a black industrial chain, and then it will be a carnival of historical reversal.

When conquering the world turned into ruling the world, players found themselves too busy to handle it all. They wanted quests, right? Quests were everywhere, and life-oriented players were completely busy.

Fortunately, Liu Qi strengthened their bodies, otherwise, with this intensity of work, they would be exhausted in just a few months without taking too long.

It was only then that Mo Yu realized that simply solving the medical problem was only the simplest technical problem in the women's liberation movement, and bigger problems were still waiting.

Section 91: Some people solve problems, some people create problems

(First update, more will be added later, (～￣▽￣)～, someone suggested offering a reward, but I’m a bit worried about everyone’s wallets, so let’s forget it ╮(╯▽╰)╭)

The ancients said: Knowing is easy, but doing is difficult.

Now Moyu, Ivan, Anna, Meridian, Quantum Girl and Xiaote all deeply understand this sentence.

Since the women's liberation movement in the Nanjing liberated area required a lot of manpower, especially progressive women, the female comrades in the player team were urgently transferred back to Nanjing. Other things were put aside first, and the hardest bone was chewed first.

Although there are historical experiences to draw on, they are only on paper after all. In the actual implementation process, many details cannot be described in words. For example, when communicating with these fallen women, you need enough sincerity and patience. These things can be written down in just five words, but implementation requires accumulation over time.

What hurts people like Mo Yu the most is that, in many cases, the ones who give up on these fallen women are not others but themselves.

Among the people Ivan is in charge of, there is a person named Sister Qing. Her daily behavior can be described as "good at both housework and work". She does whatever she is asked to do, whether it is studying or working, and she does it very well. She has done the reform and education work very well, but Ivan just feels that there is something wrong with Sister Qing, but her behavior makes people feel impeccable.

Until one day, when Sister Qing was chatting with others, she accidentally said, "Are prostitutes still human beings?", which made Ivan realize the seriousness of the problem in an instant.

Instead of actively cooperating with the transformation, the other party directly objectified itself into a machine that executed orders.

If you are obedient, you won’t be beaten. If you do things according to the rules, you won’t be scolded. If you can survive, try your best to live. If you really can’t survive, then die. Anyway, you are here to suffer in this life.

Sister Qing’s case is an exception, yes, one of the many exceptions.

These girls, who have been PUA'd to the extreme by the old society, don't think they can be saved at all. They doubt whether they should be saved and think it is wrong to save themselves. They take it for granted that people as dirty as themselves should just die. The reason they don't die now is because they feel sorry for the staff who are kind to them.

If I die, the sisters won't be able to complete their mission, and what if they are punished?

Many people attend class with this kind of mood. On the surface, there are no problems, but in fact, their hearts are full of holes.

Is there no girl who has been cured?

Yes, but they immediately face another problem - how to return to society.

Some people will definitely think, "Is this even a problem? Just go home. Their tragic experiences are not their fault. As long as they return to their families, everything will be fine."

First of all, congratulations to those who think this way. You have a heart that is not polluted by darkness and you believe in the truth, goodness and beauty of the world.

But now please allow me to tear apart these possibilities of kindness and reveal the dark side to you.

According to Xiao Te's follow-up survey, those girls who are relatively mentally healthy, recover quickly and know where their home is, actually go home and are accepted, only account for less than 10% of the total number...

Why! ?

Because they are no longer clean, and unclean women will be gossiped about in the village.

Most of these girls are from rural areas. In rural areas where feudal ethics are more stubborn, the concept of female chastity has become perverted to the point of being almost rigid. No matter why a woman loses her innocence, she will be held accountable.

For example, the traditional punishment of immersing in a pig cage is to drown both men and women. No matter whether the woman is at fault or not, she will die.

It is so unreasonable. Even if their family members don't care at first, after a long time, under the rumors of other people in the village, they will still do inhumane things and even hurt these innocent girls.

Another more realistic problem is that those girls were sold.

The family was poor and could not afford to raise the girl, so they had to sell her. This way, the family could exchange her for some rice and food, and the girl who was sold would also have someone to provide her with food.

It sounds incredible now, but at that time, it was a common idea and became a "normal" business that everyone accepted.

In addition, there is an even more cruel situation. After the girl returned home, she found that her original family had starved to death long ago, even the old house had collapsed, and all her past memories had been wiped out.

This is the problem of prostitute reform facing the entire volunteer army team.

Even if you have done your best, returning to society is still extremely difficult. Many people will subconsciously show disgust towards these girls just by knowing their identities, and this action itself causes huge mental harm.

However, the above situations are still relatively good.

A girl that Zi Meridian was in charge of was forced to hang herself by her family after returning home. By the time Zi Meridian received the news, not only had she been buried, but she had also been forced into a ghost marriage.

The furious Zi Wuxian led his troops to capture the entire village and question them. When Geng Wu heard about it, he hurriedly led his troops to check the situation. After knowing what had happened, he almost took out a machine gun to clear the area. Fortunately, Zi Wuxian still retained the most basic common sense and prevented the incident from turning into a village massacre.

How to say it, when Gengwu is present, Zi Meridian is actually the calmest one.

Of course, she is a third-year student, so she is holding a gold brick (nods).

In the end, the incident ended with the villagers being sentenced to three months of collective labor reform and their immediate family members being sentenced to three years of labor reform. This is the maximum punishment that can be given, and it is even a bit extraordinary. From a purely legal perspective, there is a difference between mental harm and direct harm. The sentencing for scolding someone to death and stabbing someone to death must be different. What's more, the essence of this tragedy is the result of oppression under the systematic discrimination of feudal ideology, which cannot be solved by killing. Even if it is easy to clear out an entire village, can everyone's thoughts be forced to straighten out in this way?

It is impossible, otherwise the ancients would not have said "It is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature."

The project of changing customs and habits requires time and patience, the efforts of several generations, and changes in productivity. Given the actual productivity situation in rural areas of old China, even if you try to lead them, you will eventually push them back.

The best way to disintegrate the old system is to disintegrate its economic foundation and let the small peasant economy that depends on the weather for its livelihood be crushed by the tracks of large-scale industry. Otherwise, advanced ideas will eventually regress to their past state under the influence of unmatched productivity.

When conducting the quarterly work summary, the female comrades in the volunteer army were all worried.

I thought I had obtained the cheats to pass the level, but I didn't expect that it was impossible to pass the level easily in reality. Not to mention the cheats, even Feng Ling Yueying would be useless. I can only take it step by step.

Xiao Te sighed, stood up, and said, "Let's start with me. In the first quarter of this year, we completed the rehabilitation of 128 fallen women, arranged jobs for 128, and handled 18 cases related to sexual assault. The actual number is definitely much higher than this, but very few people will speak out. Two people have returned to their hometowns and been accepted by their original families. Currently, there are 2588 people still undergoing rehabilitation."

In the end, Xiao Te felt that he had nothing more to say, so he put the document down and let everyone circulate it.

The situation was similar for everyone else. After exchanging documents with each other, everyone sighed collectively.

too difficult.

"Look at it brightly. At least we have a lot of advantages in medical care. Many people have been saved, right?" Anna smiled bitterly and gave everyone a consolation that she didn't know if it could be considered a consolation. I guess so.

At this point, Ivan stood up and said, "Comrades, prostitution has persisted in China for thousands of years. Under the influence of such a long period of inertia, many people consider brothels a 'normal business,' and some even 'laugh at poverty rather than prostitution.' Let me give you an example. Some Nanjing citizens were initially skeptical of the government's ban on prostitution, many believing that 'prostitution is voluntary.' While the causes we are working on have social support, they have also encountered opposition from some older intellectuals."

"A bunch of stinky old men!" Mo Yu cursed.

Meridian nodded and said, "I agree. These old bastards have at least doubled the resistance to our work. We really should implement a media censorship system to let these ignorant people know that urinating and defecating anywhere is illegal!"

"Ahem, we're getting off topic, we're getting off topic," the quantum girl reminded.

At this moment, everyone's player communication rang. After opening it, the blood pressure of all the lesbians present rose by several percentage points.

Mo Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Is this something a human could do?!"

Section 92: The truth becomes clearer through debate

(The second update is here, please vote, there will be a third update soon)

There is never a shortage of weird people in the world, but some people's weirdness has a kind of purely disgusting and dirty feeling.

This is the situation that female comrades like Mo Yu are facing now.

In the newly built People's Square in Nanjing, there was actually a group of "stinky old nine" protesting. The content of the protest was also very uncomfortable. They said "legalization of brothels", "legalization of sexual freedom", "love that is consensual is not for sale" and other such weird remarks.

There are also many female celebrities and even some well-known women in the Republic of China, who follow a group of men who are greedy for their bodies to advocate for "sexual freedom". Considering the origins and historical actions of these people, they can be called "the first generation of little fairies" or "old fairies".

However, this group of old fairies are more combative than the young fairies. At least they dare to show up and protest in public. In the era of young fairies, they only dare to quarrel online, and they cannot expect the other party to fight back when quarreling. If a conflict really occurs, they don’t have the ability to clean up the mess. They are complete wastes.

But this scene is too terrifying for female players who are working hard to complete the women's liberation movement and the transformation of fallen women. It cannot be said to be a backstab, it is directly fast-forwarded to betrayal.

"What the hell is this! How dare they protest? Where are our tanks? Today I'm going to learn some MacArthur's veteran economics and turn every one of them into Sanguinius sauce!"

The quantum girl, who is an action-oriented person who believes in classical mechanics, stood up and was about to drive the tank. Anna, who was standing next to her, saw that the situation was not good and quickly pulled her back, avoiding a physical conflict that could easily put her in the wrong.

Anna protected the Quantum Girl while advising, "Don't be impulsive, Quantum Sister. Those scumbags can't become Sanguinius. Angel Sister doesn't deserve this!"

Ivan, who was standing next to him, was sweating profusely and couldn't help but complain: "Is this the point?"

Xiao Te clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention, and said, "Everyone, calm down. We can't let ourselves get out of control first. Now that the enemy has come forward, this is also a good opportunity for us."

"It's indeed a good opportunity." Mo Yu nodded.

"Good opportunity?" Anna was puzzled.

Xiao Te smiled slightly and said, "The more you debate, the clearer the truth becomes. Since they dare to speak out, let's have a showdown!"

"But there is a problem. Those guys are definitely shameless. Does anyone have any experience in being shameless?" Ivan reminded, his eyes sweeping over the female comrades present.

There is no way around it. It is indeed very easy for people to be shameless and invincible in things like debates.

At this time, Zi Wuxian said: "Comrades, since we are going to debate, the focus is not on convincing each other, but on the audience present. Don't forget that our base is the people. What we need to do is to get the broad masses of people to stand on our side and support our women's liberation movement, so that everyone realizes that the new era calls for independent women who truly work with their own hands!"

After deciding on the next action program, the Volunteer Army system began to operate efficiently. Under the watchful eyes of countless citizens, a huge debate platform was quickly set up in Nanjing People's Square, and the best loudspeakers were installed. In addition, various media under the Volunteer Army were also prepared for nationwide propaganda. No matter whether it was the liberated areas or the Kuomintang-controlled areas, or the national areas, the Japanese war zones, or any other warlords' territories, they would receive relevant news.

If you don’t receive it, it’s okay, I’ll airdrop the newspaper to let you know.

For the old intellectual faction, their action was ostensibly to support the legalization of brothels, but in reality, they had a far more sinister purpose. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole. They hoped to use this broken window effect to gradually reclaim their voice and allow the glory of the "Four Books and Five Classics" to once again illuminate the sacred place of Confucianism in their hearts.

Frankly speaking, the "Four Books and Five Classics" are not entirely bad, but when some people insist on treating them as tools and interpreting them as bad, they can only be overthrown, and then given new meanings through new-era interpretations.

This is a struggle for the right to interpret the Bible, just like class struggle, it is a life-and-death struggle.

Because matters involving power are exclusive. If you have it, I don’t. The winner takes all and must consolidate the good parts of the other party’s system into his own system, otherwise they will be put on the table.

Blinken’s “national menu theory” was still very effective decades ago.

Before the debate officially began, the Volunteer Army had already been frantically building momentum across the country. Various shocking UC headlines appeared on the front pages of major newspapers, and radio and television were running at full capacity 24 hours a day. They even created radio channels in Japanese, English, French, Russian, German, Italian, Spanish and other languages, which were broadcast crazily through high-power radio stations, allowing people all over the world to experience this debate on "sexual freedom."

At the same time, the old intellectuals and reactionary forces also united under a black banner, and the four pests hidden in the dark began to collude. They also regarded this debate as an action to attack the credibility and ideological position of the Volunteer Army. As long as the Volunteer Army was forced to relax in one of the three areas of pornography, gambling and drugs, they could use the power of feudal ethics left over for thousands of years to launch a grand counterattack.

After a week of publicity, the debate, which was later called the "Nanjing Debate", "the pioneer of women's liberation" and "the first shot of the greatest women's liberation movement in the 20th century", officially began.

That day, People's Square was packed with people. Although most of them were there to join in the fun, there were also many who were concerned about the outcome of the debate.

After the Volunteer Army launched its propaganda campaign, the Red Party immediately found the Volunteer Army and asked what kind of help they could provide. In terms of liberating women and advancing ideas, looking at China at that time, except for the Volunteer Army, which was of TO standard, the Red Party was absolutely the best in the world and no one could defeat it.

Others may have their own agenda, but the Red Party truly hopes that the Volunteer Army will win big, which will also greatly aid their ideological emancipation movement in the Red Zone.

Faced with the olive branch, the players gladly accepted it and then invited several bigwigs.

The focus was still on those big guys. The players had a lot of fun taking photos with them. As for helping, the big guys could guide the players with their rich life experience. However, the reactions of these young volunteers really surprised the Red Party’s big guys’ delegation.

The literacy rate of the Volunteer Army commanders was 100%, and they had all received at least high school education. Their ideological beliefs were firmly aligned with communism, and they had established objective and rational logical thinking.

Of course, there are differences between players, but an entire group is so intelligent, which is unimaginable in China at that time. In order to form today's lineup, the Red Party specially transferred personnel, but the Volunteer Army just randomly recruited people with advanced diplomas.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious. For a revolutionary like Lai Yibei, this is what the new China should be like!

On March 1, 1939, the "Nanjing Debate" officially began.

The conservatives immediately launched into a frenzy, citing the Zhou Li (Book of Zhou), making their point clear: brothels existed in ancient times, with Guan Zhong a prominent figure among them. Do they understand the significance of "establishing official prostitutes to alleviate the suffering of widows and widowers"? As for the customs surrounding prostitutes, Liu Rushi, even after her formal death, retained her integrity, while the Eight Hundred Beauties of Qinhuai were both talented poets and painters. I don't understand how the significance of this millennia-old brothel industry has become so prevalent today.

The veteran scholars on and off the stage applauded, thinking that what the old gentleman said made sense and that he was indeed a cultured cultural worker.

But the players immediately discovered the other side's fatal flaw. These old literati spoke like Kong Yiji, and didn't care whether others could understand them or not. They just felt happy. They had long gowns but others didn't. They thought they were superior to others. Only those who could understand what they said were their own people. No one paid attention to the peasants who couldn't understand them.

Look at the reactions of most of the audience. What is "Zhou Li"? What is "widowhood"? What is "widowhood"? What is it all about? Can these scholars explain something we can understand?

Comrades, this is Nanjing. The cultural level of Nanjing citizens is so shocking at this time, and more remote places will be even more unbearable to look at.

Now that the enemy has already made a move, players will naturally not let it go. It's time to show real skills!
