History is like this. Many countries can rely on their advantages to gain leadership status for a while, but how to maintain it is a huge test.
In the same Mediterranean trading circle, ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, and ancient Rome were all glorious. Ancient Greece even defeated Persia for a time, and the city-state civilization was also glorious. Alexander even promoted a wave of Hellenism.
Then Rome came out and occupied the entire Mediterranean, promoting a wave of Romanization.
The Renaissance, the Habsburg Dynasty, and the Ottoman Empire also arose at about the same time. As a result, the Habsburg Dynasty discovered the New World, and the Ottomans occupied the trade routes of the Eurasian continent. Before the Renaissance, they relied on the Crusades and waited until the war was over.
, defeated by the Inquisition.
Later, six or seven countries established the East India Company and made great profits, but only one country entered the industrial revolution and became the only country in the world...
When it is strong, it has economic hegemony on one hand and military hegemony on the other. But when it weakens, the economic hegemony disappears and the military hegemony collapses, and it is difficult to recover.
There are many civilizations that became powerful for a while because of their geographical advantages, and there are also many countries that gained advantages due to luck. However, how to sustain the advantages is a global problem.
Many countries gained an advantage and immediately gained economic and military hegemony. However, as costs increased, the advantages disappeared and the two hegemonies soon fell apart.
This is the case with Doflamingo. He had an advantage, but he really couldn't sustain it. He chose feudalism out of desperation. Although it stabilized the internal situation, it was too difficult to develop after allocating resources.
Can wait for change.
However, although feudalism is stable, everything is not fine. In feudalism, resources must be distributed. If resources are gone, nobles will still compete for resources to maintain their advantage, and the collapse of rituals and music will still occur.
Doflamingo still has to face a choice. When he was rich, he trained many artists and created many luxury accessories. Now he can continue to make money, but he doesn't know how long he can last.
"Why is this happening?" Doflamingo was helpless. He was doing well at first, but why suddenly the pirates and the navy established two major groups and started a confrontation, leaving him with no room for development. Obviously his system is so good.
, why doesn’t everyone accept it?
Because there is not enough room for expansion, there was no confrontation between the two major forces before. Doflamingo could cut leeks everywhere, but now he can't. If it were not feudal, the parliamentary system would frantically snatch internal interests and maintain its own advantages, and the power would be
If it is going to collapse, it can only be feudal.
One of the two major forces is already feudal. The other is establishing an internal circulation system. Even if everyone wants to snatch benefits, they must abide by the Basic Law.
Neither of the two major forces is easy to harvest, it's just so embarrassing. It's like the Renaissance. The Crusades were originally fought well. They used the convenience of Mediterranean trade to transport supplies from the rear to the front line and transport spoils from the front line to the rear.
By the way, occupy some uncontrolled territory. After making money, invest in art, promote your own taste, and make money through art. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
As a result, the Ottoman Empire suddenly rose and the Crusades could not be defeated. Eastern Rome turned around and united with the Habsburg Dynasty and began to explore the Atlantic Ocean. The Mediterranean trade collapsed directly, and the Renaissance could only become fat people, thin people, and carders.
The feudal system. Of course, it can be supported if it is just this way. As a result, the Habsburg Dynasty discovered the New World, established military hegemony and economic hegemony, and upheld the ideology of monotheism. As a result, the Renaissance opposed the divine right of kings and was eliminated.
Doflamingo's main enemy now is actually the navy, because the navy's justice cannot tolerate him. Instead, Ace gave a "Respect Speech" and established relationships on the basis of respect. He can be with Doflamingo
Cooperate.
The current situation of the navy is similar to that of the great powers in history. On one hand, it has economic hegemony, on the other hand, it has military hegemony, and then there is ideology.
Those who do not abide by naval justice must be attacked. Now that the Yonko deterrence has been established, it is difficult to attack pirates, but Doflamingo can still be attacked.
"Actually, the Navy shouldn't take action to attack Doflamingo. After all, Doflamingo has been using Bailey, which can be regarded as helping to circulate currency." Dinisha believes that it should not take action.
Duran said: "The main purpose of attacking Doflamingo is to establish prestige, not because of how important Doflamingo is, but because the navy needs to prove to the sea that it still has dominance. Anyone who is disobedient should make his own decision.
Weigh it."
"Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?" Dinisha understood that Doflamingo was just unlucky and became a prop to establish his power. Because he did not abide by the navy's justice and was rich, the navy just took advantage of him.
Eliminating Doflamingo is just a means, the purpose is to prove the dominance of the navy. If anyone wants to rebel, they must also consider the consequences.
If you want to establish your authority, you can't find someone who is too weak. You have to find an opponent like Doflamingo who is powerful but not too strong.
Dinisha said: "It makes sense to attack the weak with external worries and to attack the strong with internal worries."
When there is an external threat, you have to find a weak opponent and solve it three times, five times, five times and two times to show your strength so that foreign enemies dare not take it lightly.
When there are huge internal differences, you should find a strong opponent and use strong external force to unite yourself internally. You can even directly provoke a strong enemy. If the provocation is advantageous, just beat the gongs and drums, and everyone will forget the differences when they are happy. If the provocation fails,
He beat his chest and beat his feet, saying how powerful enemies bully others and that everyone should unite.
Therefore, big countries are often provoked. In fact, the provocateurs do not do it for provocation, but to unite their internal forces. Because they also know the gap in strength, they basically cannot take advantage. But even if they suffer a loss, it is still advantageous. If they suffer a loss, they will cry and fight.
He said that he was bullied by a big country. If anyone does not unite with him or even wants to cooperate with a big country, he is a traitor.
When provoking, one must pay great attention to proportion. It is like a toad that does not bite but disgusts people. If it does not touch the core interests of a big country, it is provoking on the fringes.
If the big country ignores it, they will push for it. If the big country fights back, they will cry for their father and mother. Even for them, it is best to be taught a lesson by the big country.
After all, if you win, it will not end well. If you win once, public sentiment in the country will be high. If you continue, you may anger the big powers. If you stop, you may be called weak and be attacked by the opposition.
Therefore, it is better to lose than to win if you are worried internally and attack the strong.
If you lose, it means that the big country bullies others. It protects the legitimate interests of the small country, but the big country uses its power to bully others. Let us unite together to oppose the big country. Anyone who does not oppose is a traitor.
If you win, it will be embarrassing. Should you continue or bear the reputation of being weak?
Faced with this kind of provocation, big countries are helpless and can only cooperate with their performances, because even if they have the ability to defeat small countries, they still have to spend a lot of money, which is not economical at all. To conquer small countries, they also need to invest in development funds, which is even more expensive.
money.
What the navy is facing now is foreign aggression, a challenge from Ace, and a threat to the entire system. Therefore, it needs to attack the weak, show its strength with resolute action, and ensure the stability of its position.
So Doflamingo became the target of Mother Fire.
The navy also conducted a live broadcast to let everyone in the world know the power of the navy. If you follow the navy, you will not necessarily prosper, but if you go against the navy, you will surely perish.
On this day, the live broadcast started again.
I have to say that the live phone bug is really a good thing and everyone likes to use it.
Everyone said that first there were pirates and then there was the navy. It was really a time of great struggle.
The Navy activated the King of Heaven with the Mother Fire, and launched an attack directly on top of Doflamingo's head. Countless lightning fell, and countless civilians were killed and injured. Doflamingo used birdcages to protect the territory, but to no avail, countless lightning fell, and in a few minutes,
Reduce the entire island to rubble.
Doflamingo is desperate. He has worked hard for so long, but in the end, it is like a bubble bursting. He just wants to build his own country, return to his own status, and make achievements based on his own ability. Why is God so unfair to him?
"Ahhhhh-" His roar echoed across the sea.
Everyone who watched the live broadcast was dumbfounded. They did not expect that the navy could have such great strength. Many small islands have suppressed the idea of betraying the navy.
