"Is there a difference between the two?"

"'Peace' under the pressure of a powerful bullet will breed all kinds of contradictions. You're familiar with Elta before we arrived, right? ”

Ramacher nodded.

"Do you know what attitude Elta's informed citizens took when they opened the door to the unknown world and launched a war of aggression against the 'magicless world'?"

"What is this......" Ramaher was silent. There have been important ministers within the Elta Empire who have been advocating "waging a war that must be won", and this proposal is said to have considerable popularity among the people, especially at the bottom. "I don't know very well about that."

"We can't investigate anything else, but the group of people who cheered most enthusiastically in the imperial capital are the ones who were most active in the riots that Baccarat started, Miss Elf can always see what is going on, right?"

Without waiting for Ramaher to conclude that he was ugly, Dr. Wei continued to reason: "The poor are led into the misconception that 'war is the only way out for the country', and instinctively think that plunder is a matter of course, that it is just, that it is just, so you should also be able to see that what they are doing in the imperial capital is actually pushing Elta towards the opposition of peace." ”

"But in fact, they're the biggest victims of Elta's chaos." Ramahetia still wants to defend himself – but that's true. In terms of force, these are limited to throwing stones, and the unorganized fire prevention and looting of civilians are not at all the opponents of the former soldiers.

The wealth obtained by robbing the rich gradually became between the mountains and forests, and the villages were once again turned into fat meat divided by the routs - or bandits. Although Rama Hedi could not witness the tragic situation of the imperial capital Garcia that night, these facts that happened one after another in various parts of the empire were not fabricated, but she saw them with her own eyes.

"What made them support the collapse of the Elta Empire's original system - no, what made them support the war?"

"Poverty?" For the first time, Rama Hedi got to the point.

If this guy doesn't open his mind, he will almost be like a kindergarten child—Dr. Wei sneered and touched his face: "According to the reliable local archives of Sierta and various literature, biographies, and various searches, the general quality of life of the Elta people has shown a very obvious downward trend in the past thirty years. "Especially the low-level residents of Erta, who are now using increasingly low-level unprocessed food and hard labor in exchange for all kinds of daily necessities, housing, medical care and other necessary services that have not increased. ”

Rama Hedi chick pecked her head at the point, and she could only swallow the theory of surplus value for the time being.

And the living conditions of the royal family, the lords, the nobles, the magistrates, the bureaucrats, although did not rise much, did not fall either. So at the point when the Elta Empire decided to launch an invasion of our country, this 'peace under the power of power' had reached its end. ”

"Wait." "If it were poverty, how would you solve it?" ”

"As you can see, we are trying to keep all the Elta under our rule fed and working for their own future – not for what they will eat tomorrow. We have better, fairer means of production and organization, and that's the answer to this problem. And this is obviously much better than a bloody war, isn't it? ”

"A world without war? It's enviable......"

Although there are still countless contradictions on the other side of the portal, the atmosphere of stability and peace since the last great war has been accepted by most people in the civilized world.

There may be some markets for talking about war with mouths, keyboards, or gamepads, but when it comes to carrying a gun to the battlefield, almost everyone avoids it. Civilization brings not only progress, but also an exponential increase in the efficiency of the killing machine.

The massive use of unmanned reconnaissance/attack aircraft into combat, as well as the over-the-horizon and flattening of warfare, make it so that killers often only need to press a button......

Although this anti-war sentiment went to the extreme, and eventually plunged the continent into a hell of fire that had not been seen for a thousand years - the war of aggression was still condemned, and of course self-defense and counterattack, and the predetermined eradication of the weeds.

In this day and age, those who rush to the front line without looking back at a single order - even if there is a machine-gun position in front of them, leaving corpses in vain, or holding bombs tied to the crowd and raising their hands and chanting a certain six-word mantra, it is estimated that only seventy-two virgins will serve the "holy warriors" after death.

"You're wrong, our world has also come all the way from wars and killings over resources." Dr. Way's words resembled small talk, but they sounded heavy to Ramaher's ears. "If nothing else, in the last great war, nearly 400,000 people were killed in our capital in a matter of days, and they were just civilians and soldiers who laid down their arms."

"Four hundred thousand?! Civilian?! Ramaher panicked, and her jaw was not closed for a long time.

"What is this. One ethnic group was killed in the war with nearly 10 million civilians, almost extinct. Dr. Wei said indifferently. People never wrestle and don't know how to hurt, this is the case with the Elta Empire, and so is our world. ”

"Ten million ......" Ramaher was stunned. What is the concept that a fraction of Elta's population was wiped out in a big war?

"So the hope of peace from the bottom up is not obtained in a vacuum." Dr. Wei took a breath. "We don't want to start a war directly, but once the people are stimulated by the war, they will push the process forward, and that's the situation we're in now. In other words, we will not start a war of aggression – but if we are invaded, we will use all means to fight back. Don't forget, on the other side of the portal, they have taken our people, which is a crime that we will not tolerate in our country. ”

Even if the Elven Round Table can accept the general policy of the Otherworldly people as human compatriots, a small number of Elta still can't accept that a large number of Elta soldiers were directly wiped out in the north of Mendong City-that is, in the Second Portal Battle, the result of the merger of the two armies of Elta's east and west was wiped out at one time by more than 100,000.

The "small talk" between Ramahedi and Dr. Wei is actually a search for the root cause of this dissatisfaction.

Thinking of this, Rama Hedi inevitably had some reasons. If there were managers like them in that world, the two sides would definitely fight......

"It's true that the Elta people didn't do it right......," Ramahedi nodded helplessly. This is also something that cannot be helped, the prisoners in the enemy camp have always gone to the auction house and even become a public telephone booth in the barracks, not to mention the abducted civilians.

"You know, we're under tremendous popular pressure just because only a handful of civilians have been able to return home safely – our head of government is not a king."

"Yes yes yes ......"

"What's more, Baccarat is still manipulating before the ceremony, and you can't imagine the level of excitement among the people in our country - as I said earlier, they will not offer to solve the problem with violence, but they will shout to trample the enemy after being violated......" Dr. Wei waved his hand, "Forget it, don't talk about the past." ”

The man in front of him no longer asked for guilt, which made Rama Hedi finally breathe: "So you finally chose peace?" It was unexpected. ”

"We want to solve the problem peacefully, otherwise even if it is the apologetic sword of the Church of the Two Moons, what is it?" Dr. Wei snorted, "It's just a chicken." If you really want to deal with them brutally, it won't take a month at all, let alone half a year. ”

Your army is not much stronger...... What if the round tables came to the contrary...... Rama Hedi listened to Dr. Wei's "domineering" evaluation, and she was not convinced, and she thought so in her heart.

"If the Elta Empire were willing to sit down with us in the first place, and do business properly—and the same goes for the Western Expeditionary Army, we would have no reason to be their enemy at all."

"Aren't you interested in expanding your territory? This should be everyone's excitement. ”

"Since the food that grows on the land can be obtained by peaceful means, what else do we need to do with the vast land? The Elta had taken what they were supposed to eat, even wasted, and didn't they exchange the rest for other goods? ”

"This ......," Ramahedi was a little speechless. He didn't understand the thinking of these otherworldly people.

Dr. Wei smiled with a "hellish if you understand" expression.

"We know what your elves' Great Round Table is worried about. We still prefer to use 'sugar-coated bows and arrows' to digest the enemy rather than force. Violence is only a last resort, rest assured, Miss Ramaheti, it is right to report it like this. ”

"I still don't understand your Chinese way of thinking."

"I think you elves still need to learn one, Eastern philosophy...... You guys are still too young technically to manage the world, you know what that means? Dr. Wei looked at Ramaheta's little mouth that gradually pursed, and realized that this seemed to be the time to teach the little girl in front of him a good time to teach the five thousand years of rich governance and thick black learning......

After pointing out the "too naïve" of Elta and the elves, Dr. Wei happily walked out of the small door of the elves' office, he had never felt that Elta's starry sky was so beautiful - after all, "the sky in the liberated area is the most beautiful sky." And the unhappiness of wasting a night because he was forcibly dragged to "talk" with the elves also disappeared.

"Hey, come out for barbecue? Too late? I'm in for a treat – is it too late? ”
