Chapter 1469 The Beginning of World War

Chapter 1469 The Beginning of World War

The military has always been an extension of politics, but if we think about it from a different perspective, military outcomes can in turn determine the direction of the political era.

They are two sides of the same coin. In the final analysis, they are both means for certain groups to seek benefits for themselves. Whether in theory or practice, they cannot be really separated.

"We need a major counterattack to announce the prosperity of our new country and the necessity of our existence."

The Kingdom of the Dawn, the name alone can reveal the past record of this ethnic group and this country. They need a victory, an undisputed counterattack, to prove the necessity of the continued survival of this country.

No matter whether it is the ordinary people, the army fighting on the front line, the busy merchants, workers, craftsmen, or even the lords and parliamentarians, they have all stayed in the long dark night for too long and are eager to see the day when the sun rises.

So, if you can't let the morning light arrive, then what's the point of your Kingdom of the Morning Light continuing to exist?

"We need a victory to prove that our arrival is meaningful, that our involvement as Dongguo people is beneficial to the whole world, and that we will become a part of the history of this world... No, we will become the real core."

The East Country hopes to see a war. The agreement made a year and a half ago has become a reality, and they have begun to fully invest in this world in all aspects.

What they are most satisfied with is that this new country in this world has not reached the stage of "national awakening" and does not even have the so-called "world concept". Therefore, the Easterners already have cultural and economic advantages, and it is only a matter of time before they are completely Easternized.

Unlike some countries that started out as pirates, the "colonial system" is to exploit profits and resources to the greatest extent possible. The premise is that the nations in the colonized areas are not awakened, the economy is not strong, and the industry is incomplete. The most fundamental thing is that there is a generation gap between the military and the colonial power. The Eastern Country has always felt that the Western craftsmanship is too crude. This is a typical historical explosive mentality. Once they seize any advantage, they will take advantage of it.

Dongguo itself is a multi-ethnic cultural nation. As long as you recognize the culture, you can become a Dongguo citizen. Compared with the rough craftsmanship of the West, Dongguo is more willing to let them have strong independence. As long as they are always "friendly to Dongguo", it is enough.

This is not simply "friendliness". In addition to cultural characteristics, there are also very realistic considerations. Compared with the high cost of maintaining the mother country and colonies, a more stable and long-term mutually beneficial and win-win system is preferred.

If the East Country can occupy the third or fourth level of power in the Kingdom of Dawn, this country will be a typical multi-ethnic and multi-power federal country. The East Country people will become the largest ethnic group and naturally become a true vassal state and friendly ally.

So, what else can be more embedded in this history than participating in their national awakening and winning the victorious war for the entire country? Even if you become strong and xenophobia really arises, those ethnic groups that occupy 30% of your country and participated in your founding and even national defense wars can be considered outsiders?

"We need war. We need to sell our goods, use military industry to boost the wartime economy, and complete internal industrial and technological upgrades."

At this stage, the number one force in this world is still the Linnu Church.

The configuration of five quasi-gods, two-digit eighth-order and a dozen rule-level ones clearly shows the first military group.

What is more important is that they have been planning in this way for many years, and their power has gone through "ten years of sedimentation". Each of them is a local hero and warlord, and their industries have been embedded in all aspects of the world, from military to civilian use.

They have the most accumulation, the most advanced technology, and even have countless population and labor force. They are the new quality productive forces and capital of this world.

Whether the war started or ended, it would have been impossible without them. It was also because of their lip service that the new country has been mostly about farming rather than counterattacks since its birth.

But now, having confirmed the reality of the East Country's intervention, they, with their keen sense of nose, have sensed the turning point of the times, so how could they miss this opportunity?

For them, war is also an opportunity for development. How could they miss this opportunity?

"Brother Guan needs more 'merits' and 'recognition' to ascend to godhood. If he can free those intelligent fishmen from the Octopus, he will be worthy of the title of God of Struggle and Redemption. Lu Lu needs merits to ascend to the top, and needs to completely control the military through this war. Even the Chamber of Commerce and the Industrial Zone need this war."

Even Lu and his team have been waiting for this war for too long.

"We, we want our own territory, our own country"

As unexpected participants in the war, the high-ranking officials of the Free Fishmen, when they learned that the war might lead back to their hometowns, or even directly liberate their homeland, were filled with fear and anxiety, but also with unbearable happiness.

No one wants to be a slave and food. If the octopus wasn't too powerful, its subordinate tribes such as the fishmen would have rebelled long ago.

The people of the East and the Kingdom of Dawn are willing to support them in restoring their country and returning to their homeland. How could they possibly refuse this temptation?

Thus, with no one opposing it from top to bottom, a war unprecedented in this world began.

The first people to suffer misfortune were the “irrelevant people”.

"Military Minister Qian Haoshu has been detained pending trial for corruption and dereliction of duty."

In just less than a week, the new military minister, who had been in office for less than a month, went from being a "nice guy who lacked some ability" to being a "rarely seen corrupt official in a century."

Waiting for his ability to be questioned and he will fall? That's too slow. No one has the patience to wait for a month or so until he can no longer bear the pressure and resigns.

And these charges are not false. In fact, if you check those former military ministers and congressmen, you will find that only a minority of them have no problems.

"We are in a full-scale war with the Abyssal Zerg, and we have the power of the gods directly involved."

"All the awakened Zergs are deployed to the battlefield, and they vow to take back their own people."

The war was first initiated on the battlefield of another ethnic group.

"The Lava Tribe initiated the provocation and we responded firmly. Two gods and two quasi-gods paid attention to the battlefield. We have the upper hand on the front line."

It’s hard to say whether the so-called provocation is at the level of “what are you looking at?”

There were three main battle fronts, and the main attack was on Octopus, but our side ignited the other two fronts first.

This is deterrence and temptation. Because everyone knows that once the war starts, they will definitely not just wait and see.

Even if only one-third of the battle line is about to start a full-scale battle, war is something that affects the entire body, so it is bound to become a full-scale war.

In the autumn of that year, with the arrival of another batch of God's Ships, the World War began.
