Chapter 520: Alliance

Unbreakable alliances, well, unbreakable.

I don't know why, when he heard the news, Rorschach was not surprised, and even a little funny.

At this moment, he did think of the unbreakable alliance of the earth's hometown, and the classic song that praised the alliance that will never break.

Along with this, there are various covenants that are sometimes formed and sometimes separated, such as another alliance that breaks up at every turn.

Do you care? Of course you do.

Surprised? Not at all.

Are you worried? Not necessarily.

Although Lan Meng has Lan in his name, Rorschach knows that he and the L in his name are really not the same thing.

Sean is not a person who hides things, he simply told Rorschach what he knew and asked for, and let the entourage behind him shake their heads, this master is really not suitable for political negotiations, it is so straightforward.

And seeing that Rorschach on the other side did not hide his direct inquiry and listening, all kinds of sensitive topics came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

The more he listened, the calmer Rorschach's state of mind became, it sounded like a big event, but it was nothing comparable to the impact of the collapse of the sacred covenant in his hometown, it was more like a natural evolution of the times.

The Lan Alliance is a superpower, but it is also an alliance of dozens of countries, formed during the Dawn War, which has a history of more than 600 years.

And the reason why there is a Lan character is that it goes back to a more distant history.

Where there was an ancient Lan country in the first place, it is actually only about three hundred years ago (the time of extinction), and there are several countries in the modern Lan League, in a sense, they are all their descendants, the Lan people of the Northland who live together

Rorschach knew that his L was actually the one from the Lan people, and it might even be the one from the ancient Lan Kingdom, not the one from the Lan League.

The reason why Lan Meng added this word, as long as the two countries as the core are orthodox Lan descendants and royal families, it's just that when Rorschach first came, he heard that their royal family seemed to have been cut off, and the specific reason for Rorschach was not clear, but he heard that the members of the clan were not prosperous, and then there were genetic diseases, and it was a blessing to be able to persist until now.

In the past, the Lan Alliance was the leader of the Lan Alliance, which was rotated between these two countries, but now in the recent alliance election, a third country was elected for the first time in history, which also makes people sigh at the changes of the times.

Originally, Rorschach was still a little interested, after all, there were distant relatives in the place, but then I heard that the "relatives" not only had no blood connection but had been dead for I don't know how many years, so I was not interested.

The overturning of the two Lan kingdoms as the core naturally caused huge turmoil in the north, and it is also possible to develop to the disintegration of the Lan Alliance.

Sean's elaboration was far less calm than that of Rorschach, which he described as a catastrophe, a catastrophe.

But Rorschach himself still thinks that it is just a normal change of the times, and that is because the cornerstone of Lanmeng's existence is no longer there.

Any strong covenant must have two premises.

One is the common goal and common interests of the covenanters, and the establishment of the covenant is for the better development of everyone, in order to reduce competition with each other to form a joint force, and to deal with the complex external environment together.

On the other hand, for the covenant to be strong, there must be a common enemy..... Even if that enemy only exists in the imagination, even if that "enemy" does not exist, in order for everyone to unite, at least a target must be established.

Founded during the Dawn War, the Lanmeng was a gathering of Northlanders in response to war and external crises, and was an ark to tide over difficulties together.

Originally, it was a union of several small and medium-sized human nations, and later the Underground Orcs, Undead, Dragons, Elves, Ice Elemental Creatures and other alien races joined it for their own reasons.

Together, they deal with the crises and external enemies of the Dawn War, and deal with the complex and changing international politics, but with the end of the Dawn War (which is still officially denied that the Plane War is over), it loses the external elements that make it "solid".

When the world returns to peace, it is natural to return to the proposition of "development".

As for development, economy, industry, commerce and trade, and technology all need competition, and local competition, competition from other places, internal competition, and competition from other places really have advantages in developing competition as a whole entering the era of peace....... No one can give the answer.

Yes, there are countless experts who say that if the alliance is gone, how will the economy of all races and countries develop greatly, and how will the society make great progress, but at the same time, there are countless experts and various theories that prove that if the alliance is really gone, then internal competition will cause various costs to soar, and business and political negotiations with other countries in the world will be hung up with hammers.

To tell the truth, this is not the same thing as the unbreakable alliance of the earth's hometown, and everyone can really live better if it is really dissolved, but it didn't happen, who can say clearly.

What is even more different from the situation on Earth is that the ethnic composition of the Lanmeng is too complex, and each race and country has its own ideas.

When the external environment is bad when the snowstorm comes, everyone will huddle together to keep warm, and in order to survive, they will not distinguish each other.

When the entire alliance is in a period of rapid development, the politics are clear, the people are prosperous, and everyone can live a good life, although there is still a little noise, the inertia of the group will not change.

"I'm already doing well, why change. ”

If you are in between, when it's not so bad and not so good, and people's minds move, then the situation changes.

"I always feel that something is wrong, our life is getting worse and worse, although it is not clear, but we must change something. ”

And now, probably at this time,

People want a better life, but they don't know the direction of improvement, they want to find someone to blame but they don't know who to turn to, and in the end, they will only blame the existing system...... Even if there is no problem with the system itself, most of them will not rationally analyze the gains and losses, advantages and disadvantages, they only need a possibility of change, a window to vent.

"It's changed for the worse? Does that have anything to do with me? At least it's better than it is now. ”

There is no foreign enemy, and people's hearts are moved, which is the main cause and the root cause.

And the chaos of the two Lan countries themselves, as the leaders of the alliance, is the reason why everything is gradually getting out of control, no one to guide, no one to guide, and no one even says what to do in the future, which naturally makes the original stability unstable.

When the political situation in the whole Northland becomes unstable, careerists and tribes have their own ideas.

Needless to say, the elves are probably many of the high-ranking elves who have been eager for an independent day since they joined.

Undead....... They are detached from the start.

The undead alone, due to the return of those undead emperors and the joining of the undead plane, whether it is their actual territory or real "population", probably beyond the limit of any superpower, all the undead planes and heteroplanes ruled by the undead monarch combined, maybe bigger than the whole of Ash.

The divide between the living and the dead has always existed, and they are probably the race that cares least about the existence of the Lan Alliance, because they are not in the jurisdiction in the first place, and exist in the covenant, only because of historical promises and a kind of inertia.

Whether you admit it or not, the undead themselves are a superpower, a top force whose absolute strength far exceeds that of any country in the world.

Even the human race, which is the core of the Northland, many of them factions and individuals, have their own ideas, and they want to be friends with the richer Central Plains human powers, rather than dealing with those strange races that don't have oil and water.

"It sounds like the fit is hopeless. ”

Rorschach's fluttering evaluation made the faces of the people opposite distort.

"No, no, not everyone wants the Lanmeng to disintegrate. ”

Are all people and races eager for the Aradoshi to disappear?

What outsiders can't understand, but what they don't want Lan Meng to disappear the most is not the Northland Terran as the core, but the extended alien races, especially the young man who is sitting in front of Rorschach now, is one of them.

The Northland Orcs and Northland Barbarians, as the most economically and technologically backward and land-barren races and countries in the Northland, are actually the core that they least want the Lanmeng to disintegrate, which is really like a joke that makes people laugh.

The reason is that Rorschach doesn't know, and the other party can't say clearly.

When talking about other people and other races, he kept talking, and when it was his turn to keep silent, but what Rorschach knew was that the other side really longed for the stability of the Lan Alliance.

He could vaguely guess that it was probably these two races, as laggards, who were very helped by other countries and were constantly "transfused", worried that their own race would fall behind this era after losing the Lan Alliance.

And the other core group that insisted on the Lan Alliance surprised Rorschach a little.

"You said that the elves don't want the Lan Alliance to disintegrate, and the elves I know are not like this!"

But even if he didn't need the other party to explain, Rorschach thought it through, he patted his head, he was blind, and let a few elves represent all the elves.

"I'm really, the upper elves are the upper elves, the ordinary elves are the ordinary elves, their lifestyles are completely different, some people miss the glory of the old days, and some people naturally feel that the new life is good, at least a few big dads on the top of their heads can't do whatever they want. ”
