Chapter 586: Traffic

Yes, the Seymours wanted to build a state, to build an independent wasteland nation.

This is not a sudden idea, nor is it the long-planned ambition of one person or dozens of people, this is the dream of three generations.

The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, which kind of thing is it.

Decades ago, when the Seymour people stabilized their living environment, there were people thinking about these things. ,

This means that the entire ethnic group has moved directly from the primitive tribal system into a new era of unification.

Sideon of the Horned Elephant tribe, as well as his stepfather, were once the ones with the best chance of entering a new era.

However, they are unlikely to succeed.

It's not just that they don't have enough power, they do what their predecessors can't reach, and they give their Seymour people a new life.

Their defeat is a historical necessity and the result of objective conditions..... It's quite mysterious to say, to put it bluntly, it was the Great Haralet Wasteland ten years ago, surrounded by demonic fog, and there was no possibility of founding a country.

The reason is so simple that it is undeniable – it is inaccessible.

The biggest difference between a state and a scattered city-state is whether it can achieve a center and the will, political system, and laws of that center can be enforced by the people below, and whether each city or tribe is a part of a large individual, or a completely independent and completely new individual.

It is easy to say that the order goes up and down, but the premise is the convenient and fast transportation channel and high-speed information exchange, which is simply the level of traffic and communication.

These two realities directly determine how much of an area a center's will can cover, and how much land that country can occupy without disintegrating.

This is not to advance the various great achievements of people, just talking about the current situation of Ansolen, the annoying magic fog, makes all communication and transportation extremely unrealistic.

The answer given by the old lord and Sidion was to build a city, crammed everyone into that super-sized city, and used the thunder season as a future pressure to force people to seek refuge in the city, and finally turned the tribal people accustomed to fending for themselves into urban dwellers who could be regulated, and the result was ........ It's really hard to evaluate his success or failure, after all, the situation back then was too complicated, and his choices had gains and losses.

Without his city, the Ash would not have been able to settle in on a large scale, and without those polished and "tamed" labor, New Tonia would not have the necessary human resources to grow, and the Great Harait Wasteland would not have developed to this day.

But the city is too large, and it also creates the fact that after their death, the warlords are fighting.

Under the actual conditions at that time, orders and decrees could only be issued layer by layer, and the prestige of the leaders and officials determined the effectiveness of the decrees, but even in the years when Sidien's prestige was at its highest, his words were at most at the level of district chief (village head).

A dozen people is a family circle, three or five family circles can gradually become a village, a village can become a tribe, in the case of a relatively closed circle, many young people who do not leave the tribe do not know who the city lord of Jiaocheng is when they die of old age.

"We listen to the village chief, and what he says is what he says. ”

Even if the people above find that their laws have been distorted and used by the village chief for personal gain, they will not only cause riots and contradictions, but also lack the manpower and manpower to correct them one by one...... A village sends one person, and a few hundred villages can drain one of the largest administrative departments, and can one person really face one tribe.

Without a sufficiently fast and direct communication channel between the upper and lower levels, and the ability to supervise the transportation at any time, the upward and downward orders only exist theoretically, and each village and each region has its own leaders and decrees.

"What's the difference between this and the past? It's not that the village chief is the chief chief, and Sidion is the big chief. ”

A city that is too large and complex, but too loosely connected internally, is more like a city, than a city with countless tribes gathered behind the walls, and the chiefs, and men still have prestige and manpower, and with the construction of factories and farms, there is even money and ammunition.

This fact has created the spectacle of history - the warlord melee behind the city walls.

Although this is indeed extremely chaotic and accidental, it is also inevitable under the circumstances, Sideon is certain to die, and once he dies, his successors will not be able to calm the scene without his prestige, and the huge city (kingdom) maintained by the personal prestige of the leader will inevitably fall into turmoil.

However, if he can live a little longer, and with the changes of the times to promote new education and legal reforms, maybe the situation will be a little different....... But history has no ifs, what should have happened still happened.

It can be said that the two city lords are doing quite well, they have taken a big step forward with their own people, but their most basic people do not feel that their way of life is any different from the past.

But now, a lot has changed.

"I didn't expect that it would change our way of life, and it would be this small artifact box. ”

In front of Rorschach, the chieftain in animal skin was sighing...... Play Devouring Snake.

Well, that's right, the artifact box in his mouth is a mobile phone.

Rorschach looked at the old old-fashioned Lokia, who was treasured by the chieftain, with a bewildered expression...... It's really an artifact brick.

Rorschach doesn't know which company's product this is, but these things have long been flooded in the Great Harlet Wasteland, and if technology and market are not a problem, the Otherworldly Copying Gong is a good deal with no money.

In the past, the interference of the magic fog made it impossible to use mobile phones here, but with the gradual dissipation of the magic fog and the gradual construction of the telecommunication network of the towers arranged along the train network, the towns along the railway line have mobile phone signals.

Direct communication between the border town and New Tonia City can't be done, there is too much interference, and all kinds of beasts also dismantle a section of the railway every few days to level a few base stations, and the time of disconnection is more than the time of communication, but the internal communication of two nearby towns and a single city is still barely possible.

Not only mobile phones, but also television, radio, and telegraphy have gradually entered the Great Harait, and the railway network has shortened the distance between all parties in reality, and the telecommunications network has shortened the distance between all parties.

It is precisely because of this that those tribes in the depths of the wasteland have also reached the change of the times, and the new gadgets brought by the clansmen who return by chance will naturally honor the chief, and the wise leaders will not let go of the opportunity for the change of the times, and their eyes have been looking outside.

In the past few years, the big chiefs, who are bystanders, have probably been waiting for the day when the turmoil in Corner City will end.

It seemed that the day had finally come, and they came to the door.
