No one yet knows exactly how the Empire of Rising Sun managed to keep its outlandish army a secret for so long. The Soviet Union was taken especially by surprise, as her borders were among the first to be darkened by the Empire's shadow.

沒人知道升陽帝國是怎么守住自己古怪軍隊的秘密那么久的，這尤其令蘇聯(lián)感到驚訝，畢竟她是第一批被帝國入侵其邊境的國家之一。

When the Empire finally revealed its military might, many top military aides in the Soviet Union quickly resigned in embarrassment, while others were incarcerated (or worse) for failing to gather sufficient data?on their new enemies. Some maintain that reasonable human error caused the world's greatest military minds to fail to detect the development of Imperial forces purely designed for ambush. However, there is no satisfying explanation for how a monstrosity such as the King Oni could have been overlooked by the global intelligence community's top aides and agents until this massive battle-walker was already being put to use on the front lines. How could such a preposterous weapon, which flies in the face of decades of conventional mechanized warfare, have been developed purely in isolation? The only explanation that makes any sense is that the Allied nations and the Soviet Union were so embroiled in their own conflict that they became oblivious to the storm brewing in the far east; a storm best characterized by the unbelievable visage of the King Oni.

當(dāng)?shù)蹏罱K展現(xiàn)出自己軍隊的實力時，蘇聯(lián)的許多高級軍事顧問們在一片尷尬的氛圍中迅速提桶跑路，而其他人則因為沒有搜集到關(guān)于他們新敵人的足夠信息而被關(guān)入大牢（甚至還有結(jié)局更慘的）。一些理性的分析者認(rèn)為，作為世界上最為龐大的軍事強(qiáng)國，卻對帝國力量的發(fā)展一無所知，是因為他們進(jìn)行了刻意的隱瞞。然而，這并不能解釋為何這些巨大的戰(zhàn)斗步行機(jī)甲直到投入前線作戰(zhàn)之前，一直被全球的情報界大咖們所忽視。面對數(shù)十年的常規(guī)機(jī)械化戰(zhàn)爭，這樣一種荒謬的武器又怎么可能會完全孤立地發(fā)展而來呢？唯一可能的解釋是，同盟國與蘇聯(lián)完全沉浸在了他們之間的沖突中，以至于他們沒有注意到正在遠(yuǎn)東地區(qū)醞釀著的這場風(fēng)暴，就像鬼王那張難以琢磨的臉龐一樣。

It remains unknown why the Japanese military was compelled to design such an unorthodox fighting machine as this humanoid-shaped construct, which stands approximately six stories tall and evokes images of a mechanical, hulking ogre. However, battlefield performance reports of this vehicle are very sobering, and suggest that its bizarre form factor is not merely a play against enemy morale. Indeed, the King Oni's combat capabilities alone are more than enough to dampen an opposing army's spirits. The "eyes" of this robot conceal energy weapons that can reduce a tank to molten ruin in seconds. And the King Oni is remarkably capable of fighting with its own body, using its massive arms and shoulders to crush anything that stands in its way. An early battlefield report involving the King Oni suggested that just one of these robots, when faced with an entire tank platoon, simply charged the main battle tanks head-on. Their shots deflected off of the King Oni's white armor (which must be some sort of new compound), even as it barreled into the tanks, simply crushing them underfoot as though they were children's playthings.

目前還不清楚日本軍方為什么要求設(shè)計出這種六層樓高、看起來像是食人魔的離譜人形機(jī)器。關(guān)于這種載具的戰(zhàn)場報告顯示，其奇異的外形并不僅僅是為了打擊敵軍的士氣，它的戰(zhàn)斗力也足以壓制敵軍。這個機(jī)器人的「眼睛」里隱藏著能量武器，可以在幾秒鐘內(nèi)將坦克變成熔化的廢鐵。鬼王的身體也可以用于戰(zhàn)斗，它的臂膀可以粉碎任何阻礙它的東西。有一份關(guān)于鬼王的早期戰(zhàn)場報告表明，它可以單挑一整支坦克排，坦克射出的炮彈被鬼王的白色盔甲輕松彈開（可能是用了某種新型復(fù)合材料）。而鬼王只要沖進(jìn)敵陣，就能像小孩踩玩具那樣把坦克踩個稀巴爛。

We do not know if this is a piloted, remote-controlled, or autonomous vehicle because one has yet to be recovered or disassembled. The only thing that seems obvious about the King Oni is its combat proficiency. Military strategists surmise that it is almost impossible for the Empire of the Rising Sun to have constructed more than a handful of these remarkable machines. However, their credibility these days seems to be somewhat dubious.

我們不知道它究竟是有人駕駛的載具，還是遙控的或者是自律行動的機(jī)器，因為目前還沒有繳獲或拆解過，但其戰(zhàn)斗力之強(qiáng)是顯而易見的。一些軍事戰(zhàn)略家推測，升陽帝國不太可能大量生產(chǎn)這種令人印象深刻的機(jī)器。然而，隨著戰(zhàn)事的推進(jìn)，如今他們的觀點已經(jīng)開始站不住腳了。

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the King Oni:

戰(zhàn)場偵察已經(jīng)揭示了關(guān)于鬼王的以下情報：

Radiant eyeblasters -- Enemy armor is no match for the King Oni's energy weapons. And anti-armor infantry divisions would have to be very brave to approach the crushing arms and legs of this monster. As a small consolation, the King Oni seems to be unable to counterattack against an airborne assault.

眼部放射——敵人的裝甲部隊在鬼王的眼部放射炮面前不值一提，而反裝甲步兵也必須在鬼王的雙腳威脅下小心翼翼地接近目標(biāo)。令人稍感安慰的是，鬼王無法對空。

Bull rush -- The King Oni can reportedly charge straight through enemy ranks, demolishing formations and leaving any survivors in complete disarray. This attack seems hopelessly destructive, yet is rarely used, as if the King Oni depends on replenishing some sort of internal energy supply in between rushes.

蠻牛沖撞——根據(jù)報告顯示，鬼王可以直接沖過并摧毀敵人的隊伍，令幸存者陷入混亂。這種攻擊看起來破壞性極強(qiáng)，但鬼王很少使用，而且它在進(jìn)行第二次沖刺前，需要補(bǔ)充能量。

Impenetrable armor -- Modern anti-armor weapons seem ineffective against the King Oni, which seems able to withstand many times more punishment than a typical main battle tank. Stopping it would likely require an intensely concentrated attack of some sort.

披堅執(zhí)銳——現(xiàn)代的反裝甲武器似乎對鬼王效果甚微，它比標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的主戰(zhàn)坦克能夠承受更多攻擊，只有高度的集火才能阻止它繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。

Cost-prohibitive -- There is almost no way that the Empire of the Rising Sun could be manufacturing the King Oni in significant supply. The research-and-development costs alone must have been staggering, and if the Empire of the Rising Sun would likely be using even more of these things if it could.

成本高昂——鬼王有著驚人的研究和開發(fā)成本，建造它不僅需要升陽帝國的大量資金支持，更需要解鎖高級科技許可。

1：名字源自佛教文獻(xiàn)中記載的一種龍，《佛學(xué)大辭典》是這樣解釋的：「（異類）K?kāla，又作俱力迦羅，俱哩迦，古力迦，俱哩劍，律迦，加梨加。迦羅迦等。龍名。俱力迦羅，譯曰作黑。迦羅，譯曰黑。即黑色之龍。以此龍纏劍之形，為不動明王之三昧耶形。俱利迦羅龍王經(jīng)曰：“時不動明王智火大劍，變成俱利迦羅大龍有四支。”不動使者秘密法曰：“于壁上，畫一劍。以古力迦羅王，繞此劍上，龍形如蛇。”立印儀軌曰：“以俱哩迦龍，纏交于劍上。”底哩三昧耶經(jīng)曰：“畫律迦大蛇，纏劍上，劍圍繞畫火焰。”大日經(jīng)曰：“俱利劍龍。”勝天般若經(jīng)曰：“加梨加龍。”玄應(yīng)音義三曰：“迦梨迦龍，又云迦羅迦龍，此譯云黑龍也。”凈嚴(yán)之不動明王瑜伽要鈔曰：“俱力迦羅，作黑之義也。”」
