Two polar forces are emerging in this world, one with the Hezhou State on the other side of the ocean as its core, and the other with the Federal State in the northeast of the empire as its core.
The reason for this division is mainly due to religious reasons and different interpretations of one god, so the two major forces are divided like this. There are also economic and historical reasons.
Historical reasons: Since ancient times, local people have believed that civilization becomes more mysterious and dangerous as you go east. The area where the Federation is located belonged to the East in ancient times and was synonymous with primitiveness and mystery, so it was not regarded as one of its own people. Although the Federation
I always thought that I was one of their own, but it was no use. In addition, the Federation's religious doctrines were different, its territory was large, and it developed industries, so it was a direct competitor.
As an independent colony, Hezhou State is inextricably linked to the mainstream countries in other worlds. It is definitely a direct inheritance of civilization, and its industrial strength is undoubtedly the first in modern times. It is a well-deserved power. It has a deep grudge against the development of the Federal State.
So there was a confrontation between the two major forces. It can be said that these two poles are not countries that the locals are familiar with in the traditional sense. One is far overseas, and the other is an ancient foreign land. But now they are stronger, resulting in these
Established industrial countries have to take sides.
The countries surrounding the empire are also divided into two factions, the United Entente and the United Kingdom stand on the Hezhou Kingdom, and the Grand Duchy in the east stands on the Federal Country.
As an independent country, the Empire has to break through the two major forces and establish the Third Order. It is very difficult because the two major forces have two more powerful industrial country abbots, and they both regard the Empire as their enemy.
"But our enemy is mainly Hezhou State." Tanya said. Although she joined the army, she still served as an adviser to Lei Lugen.
"Why?"
"Because Hezhou State is fundamentally different from other countries. Even if the culture of the Federal State is different from ours, the way they develop industry is the same as ours. Only Hezhou State is different." "The land of the Federal State belongs to the indigenous people, so they develop
Like the old empire, industry also passed through domestic scissors, but Hezhou was different. They developed industry because they killed all the indigenous people and colonized the New World. Therefore, the speed and scale of their industrial development were unprecedented, so we
We must guard against Hezhou Kingdom."
Lei Lugen said: "I think if the Federal State follows the same development path as the Old Empire, will they also export wars? Just like the Old Empire?" "The Federal State borders us, and its land and population are larger than each other.
There are many empires, if they launch a foreign war, how can we stop them?"
"There is no benefit for them to attack our empire. To be honest, our country is much poorer than the Federal State, which has a vast territory and rich resources. If the Federation attacks us, it will only be stabbed in the back by Hezhou State. On the other hand, Hezhou State is likely to support the United Kingdom in attacking us, because they need to eliminate our competition.
At the same time, it can create a large number of refugees to threaten the federal state." In Tanya's memory, it was Hezhou State that took the lead in exporting war. Because Hezhou State's industry was already surplus, it was ready to blow up small countries that were unwilling to surrender to open up markets.
.
Lei Lugen nodded slightly: "Then we must defend the west side first, and the east side is the secondary defense."
I originally thought that the blockade would suffocate Lexi, but I didn't expect that they were developing very well under the blockade, constantly launching new technologies, and their weapons were getting stronger and stronger.
Leahy's technology focuses on power generation and household appliances, because it is about to enter the electrical age. In addition to radios, there are also powerful technologies such as televisions and movies as outputs. These technologies that can provide people with happiness are quickly occupying the market, and these people like to see it.
Home appliances make everyone's life more convenient.
Electric rice cookers and laundry freed housewives from heavy labor, and electric sewing machines allowed them to sew and mend faster and even open factories at home to make money.
A large number of technologies related to people's livelihood are constantly being introduced. Hezhou State can't help it. It doesn't have these technologies itself, so it has to find a way to steal them or snatch them.
Rather than investing in research yourself, it is easier and more convenient to wait for other people's technology to mature and then pick it up.
As a result, the blockade of the empire became more and more severe, and warships were all sailed to the sea. Raw materials and energy were not allowed to be transported into the empire, and the empire's goods were not allowed to be shipped out of the country.
They don't believe that they can't defeat the empire. At this time, they haven't used their war machines yet.
But the Empire has another way, through air transportation. If sea transportation or land transportation is not possible, then air transportation. Unknowingly, the Empire's air transportation capabilities have surpassed all countries, because the Empire's planes no longer use oil, but use magic power.
The carrying capacity is amazing.
The warships blocking the sea could only look at the ocean and sigh when they saw the planes flying in the sky.
"The war and the empire's retrograde actions leave us with no choice." Hezhou State and its allies held a meeting and believed that there was no other option but war.
"Their home appliances have become the most popular products in the world. This kind of thing without the blessing of faith is a gift from the devil. It is unknowingly corrupting our people. We must start a war."
It seems they have reached a consensus.
So Hezhou State started a public opinion offensive to smear the empire into an evil, faithless and terrible country. It used some photos of backward areas to attract attention, and fabricated a lot of fake news to make its own people believe that this war was an act of justice for heaven.
A just war.
For a time, people with faith enthusiastically joined the army. Hezhou and its allies found that there seemed to be many more magisters who had magic power. I wonder if it was an illusion.
It's not an illusion, it's X who is causing trouble. He has allowed more people to obtain magic power and strengthened their combat effectiveness, in order to bring order to the empire and let the light of his faith spread again on the land of the empire and on the people of the empire.
In my heart.
After months of propaganda, Hezhou State held an international conference and finally declared war on the Empire: "Based on our investigation, we can be sure that the Empire has developed an evil weapon of mass destruction, and we will send troops to conduct further investigation."
Only the Empire did not participate in this international conference. On the second day of the conference, the army set off from the military port of the United Kingdom and marched across the sea in overwhelming numbers.
The empire's troops are lined up in the territorial waters. If the enemy approaches its territorial waters, war will be inevitable.
The military formation that attacked the girl was arranged in a long line on the sea. The military appearance was solemn, the team was neat, and the weapons were sharp. This long line is the Great Wall on the Sea, composed of primary school girls from all over the country.
Tanya was also one of them. In her memory, she did not participate in this war, but she knew that this was the war for the founding of Laxi. It continued for half a year, and the consumption was extremely huge. The statistics afterwards showed that the consumption of Hezhou State
Five years of fighting for GDP have left internal wounds. Fortunately, the Hezhou Kingdom has too much land to recover, and the United Kingdom has completely lost its position as a powerful country because of this battle. From now on, it can only rely on the Hezhou Kingdom, and it has been reduced from an ally to a junior brother.
"This battle will change many countries and change the direction of history." Tanya murmured to herself.
