Chapter 597: That ......
Because of the pre-cooling of the previous topic, the atmosphere behind it is relatively cold.
When Xinwei's two bottles of wine that had been cherished for many years came back, what he saw was the silent meal of the three of them.
After following the eldest brother for many years, of course he understands the reason why the eldest brother is looking for these two little heroes to come here.
There is a shortage of talents everywhere, and the shortage of talents in the 13 neutral zones is particularly serious.
The economic downturn, the arbitrary alliance between the Empire and the Confederation directly set back the economy of the neutral zone by twenty years.
..... by force Now that the coalition forces of the ten empires have reached their doorstep, it is foreseeable that it will not take a few days, and when the protective shield can no longer hold up, the imperial army will once again set foot on the city territory of the neutral zone.
Why the word "again", because this is not the first time that the Imperials have used troops against the neutral zone.
Since the collapse of the Longtang Empire, the world's most powerful imperialist country, hundreds of years ago, although it has maintained the form of an alliance, its strength is far from being comparable to that of the overall period.
The Federation is okay, after all, the verbal propagandists are free, democratic, civilized, and harmonious, so they don't use many troops against the neutral zone, but these guys are wilted.
Every time the ten empires succeed, the Federation will always want to get a piece of the pie.
And needless to say, the ten major empires, those emperors and generals who are full of **** have always regarded the neutral zone as the fat on the left.
The reason why they have been attacking the neutral zone incessantly for hundreds of years is for the sake of military training and for the sake of territory.
Although there are many unexplored territories in the empire, who can have too much territory?
To put it mildly, if it weren't for the fact that both the Empire and the Federation were deliberately controlling the borders on their territories, the neutral zone would have been gone long ago.
But that's why, for hundreds of years, there were only thirteen of the Neutral Zones of the Coalition of Twenty-three Autonomous Regions, and all the outer lands fell into the territory of the Empire or the Federation.
The saddest thing is that the fallen territories are so old that the people living on the land, although they are the same people as the people of the Neutral Zone, pride themselves on being Empire or Federalists.
The neutral zone can't afford to lose a piece of land anymore!
Judging from the map, the thirteen neutral zones are in the most central area except for Longtang City, and the sea of death sand is in the south.
It was a naturally formed forbidden space, and the ground environment was extremely harsh, and if no one led it, it would become one of the billions of bones in the sea of dead sand.
However, due to the unique topography, there are many untapped resources stored beneath the Sea of Death Sands.
At the same time, because the three parties are lax in their defense of the Death Sand Sea, it has become a paradise for stowaways.
If there is any violation of laws and regulations, or goods embargoed by any country, you can find them here.
There are three autonomous regions in the north, but unlike other regions, the people of the north have been relatively unaffected.
After all, if this buffer zone is lost, the land of the empire and the federation will be directly bordered, and then it will not be a military weakness to deal with the neutral zone, although the combat effectiveness of the federation soldiers has always been doubted by the whole world, but at least in terms of military science and technology, they are not weaker than the empire, and even lead the empire in many aspects.
Therefore, the purpose of the empire's military operation is very easy to judge, that is, to attack all the areas adjacent to the empire's side, including Longtang City, if the federation sees that there is a advantage to take advantage of and then come to participate, then God knows what kind of treatment the people in this land will receive.
After all, although the slogan of the Federation is good, it does not prohibit the production of imperial slaves, and in some federal countries, almost every family will have a slave.
For hundreds of years, the ancestors of these slaves came from neutral areas, and only a small number were imperial slaves.
To put it mildly, if the neutral zone side can't withstand this wave of offensive from the ten empires at this time, then the thirteen neutral zones can be declared to cease to exist.
Forming a government-in-exile to continue to survive?
It's not that Xinqu hasn't thought about this realistic problem, but has arranged a special person to plan and implement it.
But what's the use?
At this time, the neutral zone that was huddled together was no match for the Imperial Alliance, could it be that the combat effectiveness of the government-in-exile would skyrocket? Will you be able to regain all the lost land?
Inexistent! It was just the last fig leaf on the face of the neutral zone.
"Hahahaha, why are you so silent, come on, come on, taste my eldest brother's treasured good wine, this wine has been around for many years, and now it's a bottle of less."
Although Nobuwei realized something from the expressions of the three of them, he still tried to liven up the atmosphere of the scene.
After all, the eldest brother has completely lost his sense of proportion in the recent period, and he is no longer the supreme council leader of the neutral zone who was in the past, otherwise how could he find an excuse to return to the ancestral land to recuperate?
It just so happened that Xinyue, who had changed into a home dress at this time, walked downstairs, and as soon as she sniffed it, she smelled the fragrance in the air.
"Hah! I actually drank secretly, and I didn't shout at me, and we were together! ”
After speaking, the girl was not polite, and when she saw that there was no cup of her own on the table, she took one herself, and sat down beside Xinwei excitedly.
"Nonsense!"
Xinqu, who was a little depressed, glared at Xinyue, although he didn't say too much, but it also made the latter tremble, and his face was full of grievances.
Xinqu was depressed, why did he say that?
It's really too weak in the hand, too weak and too weak!
Army?
No one knows better than him what the military of the Neutral Zone is, and although he does not know the supreme military officer in direct charge, the supreme military officer is one of his most trusted students.
Is it true that the army in the neutral zone is not combat-ready?
Of course not!
Speaking of combat effectiveness, there are still some people, but what is backward is technology, cutting-edge technology, and cutting-edge talents!
It's not that there are no well-known researchers and scholars in the neutral zone, but sadly because the internal chaos is too chaotic, so the treatment of these cutting-edge talents has not been raised, and not only that, the researchers in the neutral zone simply do not have a safe environment to engage in research and development.
A new technology is often in its infancy, but those who are interested will do something about it, and then either the research will come to a standstill, or the main person in charge will go out directly, and it will become the help of the empire or the federation to invade the neutral zone.
There is a joke in the Empire's scientific community that a recent graduate is more than capable of being the head of a laboratory in the Neutral Zone, even if he becomes a full-time employee at one of the Empire's low-level research institutes.
Although sad....... But this is indeed the case, but even so, no one wants to come, and those who are willing to come are often old fritters who have no ability.
