There was no one named Duran in the general staff. After returning to Marais, Jike discovered the problem after investigating. However, before he could continue the investigation, he and Pique were dispatched to the front line of the war.
The war with the neighboring countries began. In order to seize fuel resources, the Malays launched a war of invasion. However, the technological advantages and giant advantages of the Malays were no longer so obvious. The weapons technology of the neighboring countries had already caught up. Originally
The war, which was supposed to end in a month, ended at a stalemate.
The advancement of the Malai Kingdom has been greatly hindered.
"The Malay Kingdom regarded their temporary technological advantage as a lifelong advantage. This was their mistake. We must defeat them this time."
Marais encountered the most difficult war in a hundred years.
A large number of honorary Malays were sent to the army as cannon fodder. Malays can still be promoted in the army, but honorary Malays cannot be promoted in the army unless they conceal their identities. Even so, honorary Malays cannot
Unable to refuse, young and middle-aged people could only continuously gather from the quarantine area to the front line to participate in the most difficult battle.
The puppet army composed of honorable Malays charged into the battle, made countless sacrifices, and had to bear the punishment for the disadvantages of the battle.
Under such circumstances, Grisha began to fight against each other, propagandizing in the Malay army with one hand, and in neighboring countries with the other.
Promote the legitimacy of opposing the invasion in neighboring countries, and propagate the wrongness of the invasion in Marais.
Of course, we will not forget the militia corps' specialty of going deep into the countryside. Grisha led like-minded people to the rural areas of Marais to communicate with those living in hardship and understand the current situation of the country.
The Kingdom of Marais is really similar to Eldia. They are similar in every aspect. They don’t care about the life and death of the people at the bottom. It’s just that in the Kingdom of Marais, anyone who is unhappy can blame the Eldians.
And in the Kingdom of Eldia, the blame for all unsatisfactory results lies with the giants.
The people taking the blame are different.
Grisha had to lament that human beings are really all the same, but everyone is complaining so much because the status quo cannot be changed. If it could be changed, there would definitely be fewer complaints. The question is how to make them change their minds and Eldi
Asians fight together?
In fact, it is very simple. As long as the top management can put down the propaganda of ethnic confrontation, the people will naturally cooperate. Although they may be reluctant in their hearts, they will definitely cooperate in action.
Therefore, we still need to overthrow the Marais nobles, so some people must awaken first.
Grisha must unite a group of people as much as possible during the war, and then use the countryside as a base to fight against the Marley nobles.
When promoting new ideas, Grisha must first use a country as a model. No matter what the country looks like, it must be good, advanced, and run by different systems in the propaganda.
He took Toyo Kingdom as an example, which is the hometown of Mikasa's mother's bloodline. Toyo is far away from Marais, and basically only a few people have been there. Therefore, it can be beautified and the talent selection system that does not exist is based on Toyo Kingdom.
Then praise them for how peaceful they are, how wealthy they are, and how the East does not rely on aristocrats to govern the country. The final result of the propaganda is to learn from the system of the East to transform Marais.
In short, the purpose is to use a model to make the Marais realize that their own route is not the only route, and that inheriting the Eldian system itself is a repetition of mistakes.
If it is just a propaganda system without a real reference country, then the effect of the propaganda will be half the result with half the effort. With a reference country, it will be easier for everyone to believe it. After all, these concepts have been 'practiced' and have successful experience, then oneself
As long as you can imitate it, everyone's enthusiasm will naturally be high.
The current level of science and technology is not very developed, and few people can go abroad. Even intellectuals have limited understanding of the outside world, so they believe whatever others say.
Grisha's words were conclusive, coupled with the ferocious propaganda offensive, the Eastern Kingdom instantly became an ideal country, a country that the Malays should learn to emulate, a country without aristocrats, and a country governed by intellectuals.
Under this immediate propaganda offensive, Grisha's power is now even more powerful than that of the restorationists fifteen years ago.
However, many people are still afraid of the Eldians, fearing that they will suddenly turn into giants.
So Grisha continued to promote that being eaten by giants is death, being killed by nobles is also death, and establishing a new country is also death. Is it okay to die in a country?
Moreover, Grisha also deeply analyzed that these people who questioned were actually bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He pointed out that whether the country of Malai or the country of Eldia, they had never fought against a country stronger than themselves.
Bully the weak and fear the strong, dare not resist when facing the strong, and strike hard when facing the weak.
Throughout history, except for the civil war between the Eldians, all other wars have been fought by taking advantage of the giants' advantages. No war is won by the weak attacking the strong. Malay and the people of this country have long ago
They all become bullies who pick on weak people.
This kind of faceless propaganda has indeed woken up many Malai people. In addition, this war has received unprecedented resistance, and the traditional advantages of the Malay country have visibly disappeared, making more people realize that Grisha was not wrong.
They have always bullied the weak and feared the strong. When they really encountered a strong enemy, they had no confidence in winning. They realized that they really only had a temporary advantage, not that Marais really had a permanent civilizational advantage.
Half a year into the war, Marais was already boiling with excitement, because no war had ever been delayed for such a long time. In the past, as long as the giant rushed to the other side, the other side would surrender. But now the neighboring country not only refuses to surrender, but is still
The stubborn resistance lasted for less than half a year, which greatly affected the economy of the Marais Empire and severely overdrafted its military expenditure.
Originally, wars were supported by wars. As long as you win, you can get slaves, resources and wealth. If you win, you can make a lot of money. This has been the case for the past 100 years. But now the resistance of neighboring countries makes the war continue.
As the time becomes longer, the consumption increases, and even if you win, you will earn less.
If we really want to continue fighting, is it really worth spending so much?
It's not worth it, but it must be fought, because if the Malai Kingdom retreats without victory, the consequences will be serious. The whole world will know that the Malai Kingdom's military advantage has disappeared, and they no longer need to fear the Malai Kingdom.
When the time comes, the former enemies of the Malay Kingdom will come to the door, and the Malay Kingdom's leading position cannot be maintained. Because it cannot afford to lose its status as the world's number one military power, it must win.
However, the war that exceeded expectations has made countries around the world realize that times have really changed. The era of unparalleled giants has passed. Now, relying on giant ships and cannons, they can still fight back and forth with the Malay Kingdom.
Coupled with all kinds of messy propaganda in the country of Malai, everyone suddenly discovered that the country of Malai, which everyone looked up to a hundred years ago, had shown signs of fatigue and had begun to age.
What the Malay Kingdom fears most is that others will find out that it is not good enough, so it continues to allocate funds to the battlefield to fight a war that does not know when it will end. It continues to allocate funds to continue fighting.
At this time, the domestic conflicts will inevitably become more acute, so populism will be used to control the citizens, so that the citizens can gain catharsis and wealth by exploiting the Eldians in the quarantine area.
Do you want to live or get rich? The wealth is in the hands of the Eldians. Taking up weapons to attack and kill the Honorable Marais is not a crime. Robbery of their wealth is supported by the nobles. Anyway, the Honorable Marais
Lai people are all sons of the devil, and they deserve to be robbed.
Use populism to give citizens a channel to vent and ease domestic conflicts.
