On the night of May 31, 1434, many, many people around the world did not sleep.
More or less, everyone already knows the news that Verland, Bresi and Bash have declared war on each other. However, compared to the international accusations between several countries, they are more concerned about the impact the war will have on their ordinary lives.
.
Soaring prices and taxes, people leaving their hometowns under bombardment, job shortages caused by social unrest, breakdown of order, forced conscription...
Basically it can be expected and foreseen.
The same goes for this war. Everyone knew a month or two ago that it would happen, that it was highly likely to come, and that it was inevitable.
But for some people, knowing sooner or later will not change their response, because there is no second way to many things.
So the whole world is showing a very funny situation.
Politicians and businessmen from various countries are extremely active, as if their spring has arrived. The civilians are lifeless, and it is difficult to find a smile on millions of faces.
Verak still could not forget the devastation he witnessed from the inside out on the train from Dunman to Pruman to visit Winston.
A civil war that broke out in Dunman involved tens of millions of civilians. He didn't dare to think about the impact this unprecedented war would have on the world.
"Willand has always been good at using these treacherous methods! They must have framed us Bash! They planned everything just to find a legitimate reason to declare war!" Vikenji said angrily.
"That's for sure! Those people have no bottom line and will do anything for profit! This time they even joined forces with Bresci..." August said at the end, realizing that they were now in Bressy
Xi, resisted the temptation to say the following words, such as "complicit in the crime".
Verak and Winston's reaction was not very big.
Firstly, after Prince Albert was assassinated, war was bound to happen. Secondly, in Vikenj, as a Bash, it was normal for Augusta to think about issues from the perspective of his own country.
"Alas..." Verak sat on a chair and looked out the window at the vast night, "Bash's situation is not optimistic."
"Wellland is already very strong, and with the addition of you Brexi..." Vickenji also knew how great the pressure on Bash was.
"It's not necessarily true. After our plan is implemented, Bressi will definitely withdraw from this dispute. At that time, the conflict will still be resolved by Bash and Willan personally." Winston felt that after a while, equality would be resolved.
After taking control of Lezein, the expeditionary army will immediately disintegrate. "This war was started by Bash and Willan, and in the end only the two sides decided the winner, which is considered the best result."
August's eyes lit up when he heard Clark translate that the Equality Society seemed to have some plan to undermine Bresci's involvement in this matter: "Can you tell us what it was? How did Bresci withdraw?
"
This task is the top secret of the Equality Society. Winston shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, you don't have enough authority to know about this matter."
"Anyway, things are not that simple. Bash's situation is not that bad, right?" The smarter Weikenji took a step back and asked not about the matter but the result.
"Yes, so you don't have to worry too much. Moreover, as the initiators of the war, Bash and Willand must have a higher judgment on the war than we do. I believe that Bash has long recognized that Willand will
With the Brexi coalition, they should also have some trump cards that have not yet been revealed." Winston's attitude towards Bash is relatively optimistic.
As an emerging power, it would be impossible for it to dare to challenge Wellland and start a war without confidence.
It's just that Bash has hidden it very deep. No one knows what cards they have and what they can rely on to win.
"After listening to your analysis, I feel more relieved." August's breathing became calmer, and his worries about his homeland were reduced a bit. It's just that he was extremely hostile to Willem, "But
Once the war broke out, how many people would suffer... If it weren't for Wellland and the others pressing forward step by step and targeting us Bash everywhere, we would..."
"What's the use of saying this? We two little workers are unable to intervene and change the war. We can only do our best now." Weikenji deeply realized his own insignificance and also saw hope.
Equality will be the most suitable place to unleash their greatest abilities.
Verak nodded in recognition of Weikenji's words: "The only thing we can do is to do the present well and improve our strength. Comrade August may feel that this has nothing to do with the war, or that it is too far away from the war and cannot be saved by far water.
We are close to the fire, but this is the path we must take. No matter how far away we are, no matter how short the time is, we must calm down and walk the road step by step."
"I understand, thank you, Comrade Verak." August tried to calm down.
"Actually, sometimes there is nothing wrong or right in war. Bash wants to rise, and Verland wants to maintain his position. From their respective perspectives, there is nothing wrong for them to initiate this war." Veraak based on August just now
Express your own opinions on what you say.
"Is it possible that we can't condemn them and be hostile to them?" August was puzzled.
"Of course, there is no conflict. What I mean is that the essence of the problem is not here. If we want to end the war, we must find the essence of the problem, fundamentally resolve the contradiction and reach a consensus. We only distinguish between wrong and right in the war, and blame
, what’s the point of wrangling?” Verak explained.
"I... don't quite understand..."
"Then let me give you an analogy. For example, if you eat meat on the table, Vikenji also wants to eat it, but if he comes to eat, it means that you can eat less, so you don't want him to eat it.
You had a fight, trying to use force to decide who ate more and who ate less or even nothing. From your point of view, there seemed to be no problem. You also wanted to eat more, and he also wanted to eat more. It was like
It’s a development trend and an instinct, but you feel that Weikenji accused you of eating too much and not leaving it for him, and you accused him of eating less when he came up, so why should you be useful? Such a debate can be resolved
Question?" Winston took over and explained in an easy-to-understand manner.
"No...it doesn't make sense...but, how to solve it?" August felt that he understood, but also felt that the problem had become more complicated.
"There is no solution to the current world. Everyone is chasing profits and feeding their wildly expanding ambitions by constantly eating. If you don't allow it to eat, it is equivalent to letting it die." Winston shrugged, "
Then...just die, let's all die."
Let's all die?
August was confused, and Weikenji, who had previously thought he had some understanding, also became curious.
"In the future world, that advanced, inclusive, free, and equal new world, the interests belong to the general public, not the capitalists and the powerful who can gobble them up at the table, and the general public can only pick up the leftovers under the table." Wen
Stone described the difference between the new world and the present, "There will even be no concept of countries in the future, and the barriers between people will be eliminated. Where will the war between countries come from?"
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
Verak, who responded promptly this time, said first: "Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and tall Andre and Benedick walked in.
"Do you all know the news?" Andre asked.
"I just told them all," Winston replied.
"Let's go have a meeting." Andre called Verak, and Winston left the room. "President Boyne asked us to submit a detailed phased summary report as soon as possible."
"From the factory?" Verak asked as he walked.
"Of course, and Comrade Keating and his friends are also wanted."
Benedick walked at the back: "I feel this means that the main station is about to take action. They need to understand the situation on our side first and cooperate with us to act."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Andre also felt the same way.
"Then we need to hurry up with our experiments and not hold back the main station." Verak also couldn't figure out why Boyin was so eager to get a detailed phased summary report all of a sudden.
Andre, who was walking at the front, looked back at Verak: "This is one of the things we will talk about in the meeting later."
"one?"
"In addition, because you and Comrade Keating have high authority, the main station shared some information with us." With that, the group came to the door of the office, and Andre pushed the door open and entered, "
The first piece of information said that François secretly sent a mission to Shena."
"Kanna?" He suddenly mentioned this country with a low international presence, and Verak couldn't connect the information together for a while.
"In Bash, Nero's side." Winston reported his location.
"Yes, the headquarters analysis believes that this is a means for Francois to interfere in the conflict between Bash and Willan. If Bash wins this war, another powerful country will be born that poses a threat to Bressey. If Willan wins,
It will widen the gap between Bressi and Nile, so supporting Shena to interfere with Nile's interests can, to a certain extent, curb the further growth of Bash and Willan..." Andre then analyzed the main station that matched the intelligence.
I told it to several people.
Benedick couldn't help but admire when he heard this: "These parties all have their own agendas, and no one wants to make it easier for anyone."
"That's for sure, but the situation may be much more complicated than we thought." Verak sat down in the conference room.
"It's indeed more complicated." Andre then talked about the second intelligence coming from the main station, "Today Bash, Willan, Nile, and Blessi attracted everyone's attention, so much so that there was something wrong
It has been ignored. In addition to the explosive keg in the east, the situation between the Kingdom of Sder and the Empire of Castelia is also very serious due to some old disputes."
"They..." Verak still couldn't put the information together immediately.
Andre directly brought the map from the conference room and placed it on the table for several people to look at: "This is the Masi area bordering the Castelia Empire and the Kingdom of Sder. The two parties belong to this area because of the
There have been many frictions over the power issue, but this time the scale was a bit too big. The Kingdom of Sder sent heavy troops to station near the Masi area, posing a great threat to the Castelia Empire."
"It's quite close to where I used to live..." Verak saw the Joseph County Road, which is only one province away from the Marcy region. "Wouldn't it be easy for a war to break out?"
"Yes, the conflict between the Castelia Empire and the Kingdom of Sder began to escalate at noon today. If this continues, it is very likely that a war will break out in the Masi region." Andre said.
"Noon? Wasn't Prince Albert assassinated in Nile at about the same time? Isn't this a coincidence?" Winston noticed something was wrong.
Verak frowned: "I also feel...could it be that Willland deliberately provoked this? If the Castelia Empire is also deeply involved in the war, and Bressi allied with himself, then Willland will
It can be regarded as truly worry-free. But looking at it this way, it seems that everything was planned. Will Prince Albert's death..."
According to the information currently available, a war broke out between the Castelia Empire and the Kingdom of Sder, and only Welland could benefit, so Verak naturally contacted it.
"Yes, the time is so close. Who would believe that it was not intentional... and the fight between these two would only benefit Willan. That does not make it clear that the assassination of Prince Albert was done by Willan himself.
Are you a ghost?" Benedick slapped his thigh, thinking he had seen through the truth.
"Not necessarily." Winston objected, "This matter is indeed the most beneficial to Willan, but it is not necessarily instigated by Willan. As we all know, Willan is on good terms with Castella, and Cas
Tria didn’t have much motive to stab Welllan in the back, and it’s more likely that the Kingdom of Sder itself had a premeditated plan.”
"How do you say it?" Verak found that Winston's analysis also made sense.
"Comrade Andrei just said that the Sder Kingdom and the Castelia Empire have disputes in the Masi region. So what do you think the Sder Kingdom should do if it wants to solve the problem with force and actually control the Masi region?"
Winston asked rhetorically.
Benedick answered quickly: "Let's start a war."
"Wellland is on good terms with Castelia. If we start a war rashly, the other party is likely to receive a large amount of support." Winston added information.
"Then wait until Willan is too busy to take care of himself - yes, that makes sense..." Benedick scratched his head and found that the things inside were too deep. "Maybe it was Sidel who found out about Bash and Willan."
A fight is about to start, so I made preparations in advance and waited for Willan to take action when he didn't care about Castella."
"Well, I don't think I can rule out this possibility." After Winston elaborated on his point of view, he did not directly say that it was definitely the case.
Andre glanced at the two of them: "The intelligence sharing at the main station has been completed. It's time to talk about our business. We need to speed up the completion of the task to cooperate with the main station's actions. The question is how to speed up?"
"Now we have two key directions. One is that the factory's output needs to be improved, and the other is to promote the new system in other factories. These will take a certain amount of time, at least a month." Winston was helpless, "
Can the main station wait for a month?"
"It's difficult to speed up the completion of the test..." Verak didn't want so many people waiting for him, "but we have to do it."
