[[[CP|W:800|H:488|A:L]]] "Woo! ”

A whistle sounded, and Estes, who was sitting by the window, was pulled back from his thoughts to the real world by the whistle.

It's been six hours since Lischenbull left, and the train has made a detour through the capital into the eastern region of Ishbal.

Now that the train has completed its main journey, it will soon reach the western railway station of Ishbal.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and after four days with Wen Li, Estes boarded the return train to prepare for the upcoming battle.

"TrainsRailroad is such a good thing that connects the whole country and makes us a whole."

A few hours ago, it was a green patch in front of you, but now in the blink of an eye, the scenery has turned into a yellow-brown wasteland, which makes people sigh at how powerful the power of human technology and industry is. The raw materials, markets and industrial production areas on which the development of industrial society depended were connected by railways to form a whole, so that cities and villages were connected together and became the same world.

"Not only can raw materials and commodities be transported, but also food and energy fuels ......"

"Uhhhh

A roaring panzer train roared past the side, and the carriages and the heavily loaded soldiers inside were clearly visible to Estes, who had excellent eyesight.

"It plays such an important role even in suppressing the insurgency and mobilizing troops."

Looking at the military column that disappeared in the blink of an eye, Estes leaned against the window with his left hand on his cheek and looked at the still invisible Ishbalsi train station on the horizon.

"So it's impossible for an idiot Ishbal to win~"

Thinking of the battle that was coming, the battle with great disparity in strength, the battle in which the outcome might be tortuous, but the victory would definitely be his own, Estes showed an irrepressible cruel smile that he had not seen for a long time. Viciously thinking about how to deal a devastating blow to the Ishbal rebels in the city in the shortest possible time.

"Tens of thousands of troops, well-equipped and ready for months, supplemented by the cooperation of national alchemists. Full support for military production throughout the country. How long can the Ishbals last? ”

If anything, Estes thought the cause of the rebellion in Ishbal was ridiculous.

The fact that an officer shot and killed a child and set off such a seven-year rebellion seemed inconceivable to Estes.

Because if the purpose of a struggle is rational, then we should first understand our own position and the strength gap between the other side of the struggle, so as to formulate our own strategic plan and goals.

What did the Ishbals do? From the very beginning, the rebellion was aimed at achieving complete independence and driving out the Amestories, without considering the disparity in strength, and left such a goal of seeking death at the beginning.

Why was Ishbal merged by Amestorius? Because there is no strength, why is there no strength? Because the Ishbals did not understand the spirit of contract and the sociological economics of the modern state, and wanted to obtain the same status and treatment as Amsteris without even understanding what the modern state was, they should have been annexed.

Lacking business and economic acumen, lacking the spirit of social contract, lacking the basic thinking of equivalent exchange, which is the field of circulation in modern society, the people are ignorant and extremely superstitious about religion, and their minds are completely controlled by religious theories and become the puppets of the gods.

It is strange that such a foolish people are composed mainly of strength.

If you don't even know the most basic thinking, what else can you talk about learning about modern society? Not to mention the development of modern industrial production.

Before the merger with Amestories, the entire Ishbal didn't even have a decent factory, not a single gun or bullet could be produced, and it was completely the feeling of primitive ancient society, so it was embarrassing to be on an equal footing with Amerstolis with such strength? It's too ignorant and ignorant, isn't it?

In the final analysis, the problem of the strength of the country is a problem of the people's suzhì, and even the Ishbaals, who are not treated well by such good people as the Lockbells, have the money to buy arms but refuse to pay for medical expenses, so they are embarrassed to say that the Amestorians do not treat them well?

Do they deserve to be treated well?

The Amsteros are not fools, so why should the Asterstorians treat the Ishbabars who ignore the rules of equivalent exchange in this world, blindly take what they get as providential and deserved, and take it from others without thinking about whether they need to reciprocate? I don't even have the strength to protect myself basically, I can't see the situation clearly, I don't understand modern society, and I don't know how to learn about Entubao, who will be annexed if such a nation is not annexed?

Who will sympathize and pity those who are weak enough to protect themselves, who are ignorant and unable to communicate normally, and who do not even have the most basic contract spirit of gratitude to Dade? Who will help? After helping for a long time, not only did he not get anything, but he was also complained by the ignorant weak.

For such a person, what about other people, Estes is not easy to say, anyway, she Estes is a word

- Die!

Her personality is inherently murderous and irritable, and her temper is not very good most of the time, and she is easily angry.

It's good not to mess with the weak and ignorant when she encounters them, but if she does, she won't give the weak and stupid any room to survive and regret. will directly use his favorite and most brutal method to crush the opponent into pulp, and will never give any chance to turn over.

"Big sister, do you need a newspaper?"

"Big sister, do you need a newspaper?"

While Estes was leaning against the window and thinking nonsense, a silver-haired and red-eyed little girl from Ishbal ran up to Estes with a bag and a stack of newspapers and asked her with a smile

"Huh? Excuse me, what did you just say? ”

Because of the fugue just now, Estes didn't hear the little girl's words clearly

"Do you need a newspaper? ~”

is about the same age as Wen Li, about ten years old

"What newspapers do you have?"

"Eastern News and Central Express, and Capital News."

"Give me a copy of everything."

The Eastern News mainly talks about the situation in the eastern region, and the Central Express mainly reports on major events throughout the country, while the capital news ...... That's basically the pen of the national government, and you can see what the country wants to do lately.

Each newspaper has its own unique point of view, and only when you look at it together can you understand what is really going on in the country.

"Twenty-seven shalts."

"Thank you."

Taking the newspaper, Estes gave the little girl a note of one hundred scienchs.

"That...... Big sister, I'm ...... I don't have that much change. ”

Lowering her head in embarrassment, the little girl was a little embarrassed.

"There are so few passengers lately, and newspapers can't be sold, so I don't have any money."

Anyway, the little girl's shy appearance Estes still liked it.

"Yes, there have been too few passengers on the bus lately."

Seeing that there are no passengers in the entire carriage except herself, it is no wonder that the little girl said that there is no change, it seems that she can't sell a single copy at all, right?

"Why would a man sell newspapers on a train? What about parents? ”

"Daddy is working. Mom...... Linda didn't know what her mother looked like. ”

It's a little kid who has lost his family again.

"Is that so? You don't need to look for a hundred cents, just use the rest as a tip. ”

Anyway, it's only a hundred dollars, and Estes is not short of these.

"That...... Thank you very much, but Linda can't accept it. Linda didn't do anything for you. ”

"Huh?"

This little girl from Ishbal is interesting.

"Why? ~You know, you gave me three newspapers, how can you say that you didn't do it? ”

Normally, the child of Ishbal would take Estes's money with peace of mind, and then shout with a smile that made Estes sick and wanted to vomit - 'Thank you kind sister, may the gods bless you~'

"Three newspapers are only worth twenty-seven cents, and what Dad said should not ask for more money from others, let alone take other people's benefits casually."
