Why is it necessary to build a city wall? Judging from the historical process, in addition to resisting foreign enemies, the greater role of a city wall is to collect tolls.
The city wall can gather people entering and exiting trade at the city gate, where it is easy to understand the volume of trade and collect commercial taxes, which is a very convenient tax collection method.
In Eldia, three high walls stand tall, and trade is completely monopolized by interest groups colluding with officials and merchants. Ordinary people have no chance or way to enter and exit the walls for trade, but trade is inevitable, so merchants who trade collude to settle in the settlement.
The Corps, Gendarmerie and officials formed a huge interest group that was more impenetrable than a high wall.
However, this time Maria's wall was breached, which was definitely a huge loss to the interest groups, because the giants would not do business with them.
At this time, the huge pressure on population and supplies forced the top management to consider sending a group of people to die.
Within a month after the fall of Wall Maria, the whole country was shocked, and then a counterattack affecting two levels of the country's population began to brew. However, lacking weapons and equipment, and lacking all kinds of preparations, such a hasty counterattack was as good as death.
Because the idea of the top management is to let them die. After all, they believe that two layers of people can barely keep the country running.
The trio has successfully sneaked into the relief center, and together with the ten-year-old protagonist, they are waiting for the day when they join the training corps. If they want to study, they can only join the training corps, otherwise they will become illiterate. Originally, the Eldia Empire
Education has not been popularized.
This is a backward era, so even if Dulan's mustache trick in this world is extremely advanced. Because there is no power in this world that can improve the people's intelligence, and there is no voice that can unite the people. In order to protect their own interests, the top management
, so the people are brainwashed to tell the people that the enemy of mankind is the giant, and the wall is to protect everyone. However, in the past hundred years, they have never proposed any meaningful policy to deal with the giant, which is to send the Survey Corps to continue to die. Even if the members of the Survey Corps
Occasionally, one or two geniuses appear, but they only regard fear and giants as the two major enemies of mankind, and do not face the enemies and contradictions within the wall at all.
These geniuses all think that as long as the giant is solved and the country has no limitations, everything will be fine. But they don't think that although the high wall has limitations, it has also given birth to a large number of interest groups. These interest groups have formed conservative groups and have repeatedly tried to dissolve the investigation.
Why is the Corps?

It's because the high wall is a huge trade barrier. With this barrier, they can make money by monopolizing trade. How can they let others destroy such a comfortable life?
In this world, the civilians of the empire have never considered these high-walled borers to be enemies, because they do not read Ma Zhe, do not understand the development of productive forces, and do not understand that high-walled conservatives have become a stumbling block for mankind to fight against giants, and are more difficult to deal with than giants.
enemy.
Of course, the radicals are not necessarily good, because their goal is not to defeat the giant, but to use the Survey Corps as a political achievement and to play political cards. These high-level officials are arrogant and ungrounded, and have long forgotten the basic demands of the people. After all, they are hiding behind the walls.
Here, if you can't stop the giants, why can't you stop these little people?
So whether it is the Survey Corps or the awakened people, they are all just tools. Under the brainwashing education, the protagonist can only stare at the giants and cannot see that the real enemy of the Eldia Empire is actually behind the high wall.
within.
Dulan became a hero. No one in the garrison had the courage to face the giant, but Dulan, a civilian, rushed to the front line. Although he did not kill the giant, his performance successfully attracted the giant's attention and bought time.
"Obviously the hero is the red meteor, and Duran is a liar." Allen was dismissive of Duran being so enthusiastically sought after, because he was at the scene, and the woman in red really played a decisive role at that time.
The warrior shines like a meteor, slicing through the giant's weaknesses wherever he goes, and shuttles between the steam, powerful and elegant, but the red ghost mask brings an incomparable sense of security.
Thanks to the help of familiar soldiers from the garrison corps, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin settled in the second city wall. Now that they are still young, they will do child labor first, and they can join the training corps after a while.
Refugees eat the most rubbish rations. Children may be able to barely eat enough, but adults don't even think about it. Therefore, many people take risks just to have enough food, which greatly damages the public security conditions and drastically deteriorates the living environment on the second wall.
At this time, Duran raised his arms and mobilized a good force. Everyone was not very familiar with Duran. Although they knew that he was a bit powerful, Duran did not explain any ideas. They just followed Duran.
Went to have a full meal.
The problem now is what to eat. Dulan currently has no way to feed them, but there is no way to create a solution.
"We'd better join the army. Don't we want to take back Wall Maria? At least we can have enough to eat in the army. What's the use of following Duran? No matter how powerful he is, can he still produce food?" The two came to Dulan.
Lan was recruiting troops, but there were differences of opinion.
"To join the Corps is to seek death. These people don't know how to fight giants at all, otherwise the current situation would not have happened." "Dulan is a hero. I saw with my own eyes that he attracted the attention of giants and protected many people. Now he summons
The manpower must be doing a big job, so let’s go and have a look.”
After losing the first wall, a large amount of land and a huge market were lost. It can be said that the decline of the country is inevitable, but people still have to survive and find a way out.
Whether they send troops to conquer or follow Dulan, it is their ignorant choice to survive.
Duran's gathering of men was very simple, just to form a militia, but not to fight the giants outside.
In fact, even fighting giants cannot solve the problem of food, because giants are not civilized and do not engage in production. Even if some giants are killed, there will be no benefit. Therefore, the problem of food still has to be solved within the wall, and the damage must be left.
To make up for the shortcomings, it is very simple to make money from businessmen.
As for how to make money, that is to be a bodyguard. The security situation is not good now, so bodyguards still have a bright future.
There are one hundred and thirty kilometers between the second wall and the third wall. This is still a straight line distance. If we take a detour, the distance will be even further. There is still a way out for bodyguards.
So Duran easily summoned a group of strong people to start the transportation work. The returning trio were on standby waiting to join the training corps.
Dulan's business is very good, because there is a thief called "Red Meteor" inside the wall, who specializes in robbing merchants. All merchants escorted by Dulan's company will be delivered smoothly without being attacked. Over time, Dulan's business is
It got better and better, and soon became a powerful security company.
Although some people suspected that the so-called grand robber was secretly arranged by Dulan to intimidate businessmen, they just suspected that there was no evidence.
In short, Dulan successfully became the largest security company within the second wall through dishonorable means, and continued to expand, because the scope of Red Meteor's operations was also expanding, and she even appeared in the royal capital. For a time,
It makes people panic.
Giants cannot scare the top brass of the royal capital, but red meteors can.
