Duran talked eloquently on the podium about the benefits of the militia corps, but apparently what he said now was not enough to attract them.
The gendarmerie has power, the survey corps has freedom, the garrison has comfort, but what does the militia have? Hard work, or a rebellious spirit?
It is obviously not the idea of these young people to fight with high-level officials. You must know that these young people are ordinary people. They join the Corps most likely to find a good way out. Many of them think that the second wall will not
Those who have been broken through can continue to live in the wall. What they need is a class jump, to get into the upper echelons, and to have a better life. Obviously the militia corps cannot allow them to see a qualitative improvement.
Although what Dulan said was very nice, such as taking care of his family, maintaining the operation of society, and pursuing freedom within the walls, these things are too unreal for young people. They have never been exposed to them before. They have seen them.
The arrogant and domineering military police know the prosperity of the center of the country, or more directly, the hatred of giants. They all know these and have personal experience, but everything Dulan said has not happened yet, or has not yet reached the end of the world.
As we all know, it is far removed from the lives of these young people and cannot resonate with them.
Duran is talking about a road that has never been imagined. Since it is unimaginable, it is natural that there is no way out.
So the young people looked at Dulan blankly, obviously not finding anything attractive about the militia corps. Although Dulan criticized the current ills, what ability does the militia corps have to solve these problems?
Numb, Dulan shook his head secretly, but it doesn't matter. He will continue to lecture. To wake up these young people, today's lecture ends here.
Keep training, the bald instructor will not be kind.
Only training can make soldiers stronger, so every day is very arduous training, and there is even survival training, which will turn them from ordinary people into soldiers within a year.
"Although their bodies have become stronger, their minds are still vulnerable." Dulan sighed, which made the bald instructor very unhappy.
"I don't know what you mean by thoughts?" the bald instructor asked. He is not an ordinary person. He was the previous leader of the Survey Corps. For some reasons, he chose to retire and become an instructor after breaking through the wall.
"They all have shining qualities, but if these qualities are not guided by correct ideas, they will become a force that hinders the world. What I mean by ideas refers to the methods and means of correctly understanding the world. No one tells them
How to understand everything in this world? They can only rely on what they see and hear as the direction of their own quality, but what happens around them is not necessarily correct," Duran said.
"Whether it's true or not, at least this country is functioning, everyone can have their own place, and the two walls can work well. However, after the emergence of your militia corps, it complicated many things, and even made it difficult for a time.
The situation has turned into a civil war. Why do you think that everything we are trying to maintain is wrong and you are right to act recklessly?" The bald instructor wanted to ask Duran why he was so confident.
"I just let everyone who wants to live live. As for you saying that both walls are stable, I don't know who told you. You should also know that when Wall Maria was breached, the giant was there.
Within the walls.”
The bald instructor was silent. How could he not know that he was also in the Shiganshina area at that time, and the giant was inside the wall. In other words, the giant probably had the ability to hide among the crowd, and the wall was actually not safe.
"What you insist on is no longer reliable, so someone must stand up and come up with something new. If you are familiar with history, you will know that when civilization reaches its lowest ebb, civilization will begin to innovate." Of course, there is no history within the high walls.
, it only has a history of a hundred years, and there is no innovative content at all.
There is only one hundred years of history within the walls, that is, 145 generations of kings took the people to the walls to hide from the giants and build a paradise. There is no record of how the walls were built, nor what the world was like before the giants appeared.
Of course, there is actually no record of innovation in the history outside the wall. Even though it has a history of two thousand years, during the long and brutal rule of Eldia, apart from giants, there were no institutional innovations at all. As for Marley's independence for a hundred years,
It means that it has fully accepted everything about Eldia. The biggest innovation is to imprison the Eldians in concentration camps. Then it has made some military reforms. The ruling system is still the same as Eldia, with the king and nobles controlling the government.
Talented people can either become the retainers of nobles or join the army. The biggest difference is that a different ethnic group is the boss, everything else remains the same.
So the history books of this world really haven’t summarized the groundbreaking system.
But the common people in this world actually want to create a pioneering system, and they are also dissatisfied with the current situation of "princes, generals and prime ministers having their own kind", which is full of disadvantages. However, their biggest innovation is that they want to create a pioneering system, but they just stay at
On a fantasy level, nothing has been implemented.
Therefore, this world is really backward, and the talent selection and governance systems are stuck two thousand years ago. Aristocrats will always be aristocrats. If they want to truly complete the transition, they can only rely on military merit to be awarded titles.
The system of conferring military honors inevitably requires constant wars and constant expansion. Therefore, for two thousand years, both Eldia and Marais have only thought about war and expansion in their minds, resulting in other than military matters.
Political, economic and cultural development is slow.
Therefore, in the past two thousand years, no one has thought about the relationship between giants and humans, has not explored what giants are, has not proposed any giant philosophy system, and has not explained why the power of giants exists.
Because there is no way out for thinking like this, it is better to fight. It is better to study economics than to fight, and to engage in philosophy is worse than war. Because the top management does not need talents with these wild ideas, over time everyone only thinks about fighting.
Now both places have their own problems. Eldia cannot expand. At the same time, the expansion of Marais has also stagnated with the technological development of various countries. This means that the road of conferring military honors is coming to an end, but there is no
The other way is to continue fighting in another direction.
It can be said that we are now on the eve of a great change in the world. Unfortunately, in the original work, Allen chose to destroy the world with the earthquake, causing the world to go back two thousand years, directly back to the era when the Eldia Empire ruled the world, and then it will repeat the past two thousand years.
Everything forms a cycle.
"When mankind reaches a low point, new changes will be conceived in suffering. History tells us that the more difficult the time, the more we must persevere, because after surviving the darkness, there will be dawn." Duran believes that he can persevere in this world.
The war is giving birth to new directions.
History is so interesting. The more suffering it is, the greater it becomes. I guess this is because when you are poor, you want to change. If you don't hit the south wall, you will not look back. When civilization hits the south wall, you will find a new way out.
Dulan now wants to give them some ideas, a start, and make them realize that tyranny is stronger than giants and has nothing to do with the country.
