⏭[Origin]🔴
As the “Yggdrasill Project” stalled, tensions between the “Deep State” and the “Scientific and Industrial Cooperation Agency” intensified. National “Deep State” gradually coalesced,
forming the “Crimson Pupil” comprising government bureaucrats, civil servants, the military-industrial complex, conglomerates, intelligence agencies, monopolistic industrial-commercial groups, warlords, financial oligarchs, and energy magnates. The “Circular Pupil Council,” composed of the “Twelve Crimson Kings,” made decisions on global policy.
⏭[Conflict with “ISICA”]🔴
To eliminate the uncontrollable ISICA, the “Crimson Pupil” demonized it and cut its funding. However, ISICA secretly achieved breakthroughs in multiple key technologies. When the “Crimson Pupil” attempted a forcible takeover, ISICA defended itself with secret weapons, revealing its true capabilities and escalating the conflict from internal strife to a full-blown confrontation between two independent political entities.
⏭[Internal Contradictions]🔴
The “Crimson Pupil” was internally divided into the “Blood Pupil” faction, reliant on military power, and the “Golden Pupil” faction, reliant on wealth and economic influence.
During the “New Cold War,” the “Blood Pupil” dominated external affairs, engaging in warfare against “Metis” for profit. Internally, corrupt governance led to public hardship. This harmed the interests of the “Golden Pupil’s” industrial-commercial groups, but dependent on the “Blood Pupil’s” military might, the “Golden Pupil” tolerated the transfer of benefits to them.
⏭[Isolationism]🔴
In the early 2050s, facing mass exodus and a worsening governance crisis, the “Crimson Pupil” enforced harsh “Total Security Control Regulations,” adopting an isolationist policy. Simultaneously, to compete technologically with the superior “Metis,” it heavily funded the “Science Progressive Front” to develop cutting-edge and forbidden “black technologies,” including cybernetics and weather control.
⏭[Scorched Earth Policy]🔴
Faced with total collapse triggered by the “Darkest Hour,” the “Crimson Pupil” abandoned most of its territory, consolidating power into self-sufficient fortress-camps repurposed from internment facilities. To maintain control, they genetically enforced social stratification through “birth assembly lines” and enacted scorched earth policies, seeding abandoned lands with viruses, leading to the global proliferation of zombies and mutants.
