When a problem cannot be solved, violence is always the best way. Through war, the winner takes all and the loser eats the dust. All costs are passed on to the loser. This has been the case since ancient times.
Of course, losers will definitely not be reconciled, so they will gamble again and again, hoping to win back like a gambler. They hope to transfer their costs to other losers.
This kind of game can be said to be ancient and modern, both at home and abroad.
The same is true for the civil strife in Alabasta. Regardless of the reason, the three-year drought has brought heavy losses. Many people can no longer afford such a price, so they have to transfer the price to the losers. For the rebels, the loser
If they win, they won't be much worse no matter how bad they are, but if they win, they can get a new life.
During the battle, the resisters were tenacious in fighting spirit.
On the contrary, the king's side was retreating steadily, and the last group of elites could only protect the palace.
Princess Weiwei was filled with tears. We all belong to the same country, why are we fighting like this? Of course it is because the king did not play a role and failed to mobilize resources.
Unlike the princess, the onlookers are eager to fight in order to reap the benefits. Anyway, their strength is not lost. When the time comes, whether they overthrow the king, support the new king, or help the king put down the rebellion, they can bet on the winning side.
.
"Let's fight, make it more intense." The onlookers watched the excitement.
"Without an air force, the technology tree of this era is obviously very advanced, and even jet engines can be manufactured, but without an air force, this war was fought." Duran felt that a war without an air force would not be satisfying at all.
"The technology tree in this world is indeed very strange. In some places, intelligent robots have been developed and energy weapons can be produced. But there are still sailing ships on the sea, or at least they look like sailing ships." Dinisha also knew that some ships looked like sailing ships.
, but it has a jet engine installed inside and can fly short distances: "Obviously it has the ability to develop tanks and knows the principles of aircraft. It is not difficult to develop a fighter jet. It may not be the reason for the technology tree, but the uneven distribution of resources.
Some places lack steel and coal, making it difficult to develop industry."
"It makes sense. The distribution of resources in this world is indeed uneven." Dulan felt that it made sense: "In addition, maritime trade is not very smooth. The red earth continent and the windless zone have limited the total trade volume of the four seas and the great routes before and after, making it difficult to quickly
Evening the technological gap. But this can be considered a benefit. If it can be transported quickly, the high-tech islands will inevitably expand, and a world war may have started."
Dinisha looked at the battle below and said: "The war never ends."
Dulan nodded and looked at the lowered battlefield. Everyone was in high spirits. The whole city was on fire, and Luffy and the others also found their opponents.
They have no obligation to protect the city, but they all fight without hesitation, not like pirates, but like heroes. Even Usopp, a coward, is fighting with Chopper.
Even if you get hurt, don't stop.
"The rebel attack has been blocked. The palace is full of elite guards, and the city wall is very well defended. They can't attack it." Dulan knew at a glance that the rebels were still not prepared properly and had not prepared large-scale engineering equipment.
"I think the sand crocodile is about to jump out and be the 'peacemaker'." Dinis said with a smile: "You can just wait for the results at this time, there is no need to jump out at all."
The saddest person at this moment is Princess Weiwei, how she hopes everyone will stop.
In fact, it is easy to stop, just give money and take profits. When the princess can bear the cost of the war and gives the rebels a good price, the rebels can naturally be stopped.
Otherwise, the rebels will not be able to stop because they have already paid a lot of sunk costs. The losses caused by the three-year drought, the cost of launching the rebellion, and the mental damages, etc. These miscellaneous expenses add up to every rebel.
A price tag.
As long as the princess can pay the price, the rebels will naturally stop.
Otherwise, they won't be able to stop. They didn't start the war because they were full. They were already in debt. If they didn't fight, they would be finished. They had to fight.
"Obviously it was Sand Crocodile's fault. He used dancing powder, and his father was wronged." Princess Weiwei hopes that everyone can understand the truth. After understanding the truth, everyone can rob Sand Crocodile and solve the problem.
"Do you really think there is no one among the rebels who believes in the king?" Just when Weiwei was at a loss what to do, Duran and Dinisha appeared behind her.
Weiwei has no fear. As a princess, she is not afraid of death and will implement the moral freedom of a country's ruler.
"There are many people among the rebels who believe in the king, but the truth is not important. Even if they know that the sand crocodile did it, they still need to weigh the pros and cons and calculate which one is easier to defeat, the sand crocodile or the king. Obviously the rebels think the king is easier
Defeated, so they know the truth and must first determine whether they can practice according to the truth." Duran said.
"As long as we unite together, it is possible to defeat the Sand Crocodile!" the princess said firmly.
"You didn't unite when the pirates were in trouble. Why were you able to unite when the Sand Crocodile was in trouble? If you could unite from the beginning, would the king ask the Sand Crocodile for help?" Duran said with a smile: "It is impossible to unite in the first place.
Local vassals and towns suddenly unite them, why?"
"..." The princess was silent. The unity she wanted was just the bond between her and the rebel leader when they were children. They played together when they were children, so they should be united when they grow up.
Because leaders can unite, subordinates can also unite, but this is completely overthinking. In critical moments, the subordinates will overcome the superiors, and betrayal is commonplace.
For the sake of his relationship with the princess, he cooperates with the king to attack the sand crocodile? This is obviously impossible, unless the king contributes the main force and has a 100% victory plan.
Otherwise, he might as well betray the king and join the Sand Crocodile.
"We should defend the truth."
"When the truth is beneficial to you, you have to defend the truth. Then when you invite the Sand Crocodile, disunity is not the truth? Ignore the truth of disunity and only value the truth that is beneficial to you. Apart from blood, what else do you have?
Do you look like a princess?" Duran said: "You have no way to collect domestic resources and release them, and there is no way to form an economic circulation. Even if you take power, you can't change the problems in Alabasta. Pirates are intruding.
, economic development and institutional reform, you can’t do it.”
Princess Weiwei knows how much Mobile Scourge likes to hit others, and understands Nami's feelings. What Nami always believed in was ruthlessly shattered. In the end, what Mobile Scourge established was the cruel Eight Traitors, which will remain in Nami's heart forever.
A scar leaves a barb.
I hope that everyone can unite to defeat the Sand Crocodile and let the Sand Crocodile bear all the costs. But what happens next? Without the Sand Crocodile, the problem is back to the original point. How will they deal with more and more pirates?
In fact, you don’t need to guess to know that many of the harassing pirates are not from all over the world, but are disguised as locals from Alabasta. My father invited the Sand Crocodile to come in, and the targets of the attack were actually local forces. However, the Sand Crocodile quickly became a local force.
In one, the king lures the wolf into the house.
If the Sand Crocodile is defeated, then everything will continue to return. Pirates will continue to be cultivated in various places and rob others secretly. In the final analysis, it is because Alabasta cannot develop further.
As a desert country, there are only a few oases that can develop, and it depends on the weather. Oases are inherently small, and their development ceiling is low.
Secondly, trade gains. Although the coastal trading city-states were rich, they wanted to develop the Renaissance and fight against the king's taxation. They also pretended to be pirates to attack the king's trade fleet. Although they did not rebel openly, they did a lot of things secretly.
The king was unable to improve the imbalance of domestic development and further break through geographical restrictions, which led to conflicts. In the past, the king could rely on the world's navy to support it, but now the navy is also declining. The king has to face these contradictions on his own, and there is no way.
Naturally, the princess couldn't solve it. The struck princess looked up and found that the moving natural disaster had disappeared. She couldn't help but said: "So this is what it feels like to be devastated by a natural disaster? It's really uncomfortable."
