Chapter 20 Secrets Revealed
NOTE: Comment if you find several historical inconsistencies... and I'll try to be as neutral as possible here
The battle left the whole Tang mansion in ruins. Gums, pudding and wood planks are everywhere. Among them is black soot and some bullet holes.
"Great..." Mr. Tang commented on the damage "... my million-dollar mansion has been ruined..."
"We're going to bear the expenses, right-aru?" China confidently said.
"Well, let us think about that..." Germany said.
"In fact..." Britain's right hand is tucked in his green air force rocket. Suddenly, the whole place was magically clean as if the attack did not happen. "There is no need..."
"Hmmm, a top-secret government project?" Mr. Tang commented "Well, good choice."
"It's confirmed #1" #5 whispered to #1 "Britain is able to wield top secret code star m alpha g."
"Is that a 2x4 technology?" Phineas asks the two.
"One thing I learned in GKND is some information are worth not telling." Nigel replied.
"Hey, Mr. Britain..." #3 asks "Can you make a rainbow monkey to appear?"
"Sorry but I still have to limit it's use..." Britain replied.
"Well, that will save a lot..." Mr. Tang said.
"Now let's start the meeting!" America encouraged.
"Not before we save a family-aru..." China said "Mr. and Mrs. Tang, can you please tell how you two met?"
"Well, I'm going to say the whole truth..." Mr. Tang responded
January 7, 1976, Red Guard HQ in Beijing, China
(Note: all conversations are in Chinese unless stated so in this part)
"RED GUARDS HUT!" a tall and charismatic Chinese child said.
"Today, I am assigning five of you to dismantle the state mechanism known as the Kids Next Door Sector C in Beijing, China. We all know that they are infidels who do not adhere to the rule of honorary Mao Zedong and his revolutionary principles to change the society of China and to remove the Capitalist Imperialism in our land..." the leader said "... we are waging a long battle there! I want five of you who would adhere to our Socialist Dream of a free China. I want each of you to enter KND as a spy and we will burn down their tree of imperialism down to the ground!"
P/A: It was the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It aims to destroy all institutions established by the Capitalist regime and any other forces that oppose their rule. During this time in China, the Red Guards, children supporting the rule Mao Zedong, are battling against the Chinese KND sectors in an all-out war scenarios across the country which lead to many deaths of kids on both sides. Even though KND is a separate entity from capitalist regimes in the West, their doctrines of loving and respecting their parents, then fellow men, was considered a grave threat in the Communists policies of that time. Also, during this time in China, massive genocide was done to all those who oppose the revolution. Even though KND and Red Guard ideology are almost the same, the KND is not willing to bow down on what they perceive as Dicatator Mao like what the Russian KND did during Stalin's rule.
"Now, Chao Wong Tang, Shi Mien Lee, Taichu Fen Wong, and Lee Mien Chi, you are assigned to 'act' as KND recruits." the leader said. Among those kids is Chao Wong Tang, an ambitious 7-year-old Red Guard who failed to meet his parents. No word was said about them, but he was told that they served as a sacrifice for their revolutionary cause.
"YES SIR!" The five children said. They then said their pledge of loyalty and left.
January 6, 1976 Sector CL Tree House, San Francisco, California
"Number 259!" an agent yelled. The black-haired girl turned around and replied "I'm coming Number 300!" She murmured and said to herself "What again? Another mission to be the medic of some kid in N. Viet, S. Viet, China, N, Kor, S, Kor, Cuba, and some random country experiencing war?"
She prepared the KND 1st-aid kit and her hand-held weapon. Her name is Carla May Baker, an American Socialite kid who joined KND because of her desire for adventure. Assigned as the sole medic and espionage expert of the then Sector CL2, her job is a very stressful one. They are frequently assigned to assist the Chinese Sectors with the help of Sector PO (Poland), R (Russia), WG and EG (East and West Germany), the USSR sectors, and the US sectors. They where brief for their mission Operation R.E.D. for Recruit Emergency Detection. News finally reached that the Red Guards would send their operatives in an infiltration tactic. # 259 reluctantly joined but because she is an espionage expert herself, she joined in the mission. They wired in their language translator device to prevent them to be detected among the Chinese Sectors.
Sector C Treehouse
Chao Wong Tang's POV
This is my day to serve Honorary Mao in my mission to topple down the imperialist KND. Still firmly rooted to their traditional roots, they would never learn why we are doing this. We must remove that institution to free these kids from their own false-consciousness created by those Capitalist all for their own profit. As I entered their briefing area, I saw several kids enslaved by this institution and to never let them think for themselves. They would force this kids to see that if they have to survive, they have to bow down on the capitalist regime. The best way to destroy this institution, is to attack it from the inside.
Carla Baker's POV
OH HOW HARD IS IT TO BE A KND! I VOW TO MYSELF THAT NONE OF MY CHILDREN WILL BE AN AGENT! Everyday, you are assigned in some sort of mission in this bunch of weird countries. The adults are the cause of this mess! They keep on repeating AND repeating that we live in a stage where there is on just some sort of war in the mind... IF ONLY THEY COULD SEE ON HOW STRESSFUL MY LIFE IS! The Cold War... hmmpgh... they never wanted to see how contradictory they become, and how clueless they are, on the existence of KND. Just look at those kids (seeing the kids from below the treehouse) they are oppressed because of adult tyranny of this honorary Mao Tse Dung... and I can't understand those Red Guards. Do they not know that they are themselves oppressed by adults?
"I'M SO SICK OF THESE JOBS!" I yelled, of course, in Chinese. These prototype language thought translator really works. If it were not, we are going to see PLA choppers by now.
"Calm down #259!" our 2x4 officer said...
"Let me get this straight-aru..." China cuts in "You two met each other during a coincidental mission?"
"Yes." both of them said.
"Hmm... interesting..." Germany said "You became the very person you hated when you where a kid..."
"Well, something that I learned in my mission is to re-evaluate what you believe in. Sometimes, the whole truth can be seen if you see both sides of the coin..." Mr. Tang said "Each ideology contains an Ideal and a Corruptive form. There is no ideal ideology as long as humans are making that ideology to truth. That is the thing that helped me see that errors of my way back then..."
"Mom, Dad, can you continue your story?" Trixie said "I never heard anything like that!"
"Well, we could..." Mr. Tang replied
CL1Underground Base 4:00 pm
"YES!" Timmy yelled "First time ace-in-a-day status in a single sortie!"
"TIMMY YOUR TAIL!" Chester yelled. Timmy did an evasive maneuver on his F4U Corsair online. All this time, he and the whole Sector CL1 are playing the game so long that not even the OTLI is aware that they are not on the CL1 treehouse but rather in A.J.'s top-secret underground bunker/operations base/ KND base extension...
