Chapter 833: The Land of Water
The plan of the rope tree is actually very simple, and it is completely set up for the strategy of Yakura. Didn't you want to drag on the time to save Zhao? Okay, I'll directly defeat the Water Country as fast as possible, and let's take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and see how you can save it?
Therefore, the best way to defeat the Land of Water in a short period of time is to take the two major centers of the Land of Water, the Fog Hidden Village and the Capital of the Land of Water, just like the previous tactics of the Mist Shinobi in the Land of Wind!
This tactic sounds very simple, but in fact it hides a layer of meaning: now Wuyin has adopted a comprehensive guerrilla tactic, in this case, it is impossible to quickly attack the center of the water country by steadily and steadily encroaching on the tactics, and the easiest way to want the best guerrilla tactics is to directly attack the civilians of the water country, loot all the supplies, and burn the towns along the road!
After the high-level Konoha understood the intention of the rope tree, they were all in a trance, and this kind of cruel behavior was completely inconsistent with their usual morality, and even they hated it.
And now the Skywalker, who has always shown himself as a great and righteous person, is about to cross this moral bottom line and attack the civilians, which is unacceptable to most of the high-level officials.
"Rope tree-sama, do you have to do this? Is there no other way?" Kato's dry voice sounded in the spiritual network, and no one thought that he, who had always been very low-key, would be the first to stand up.
"Broken King! You should understand that this is the only way to claim victory! I wouldn't have proposed this plan if there was any other option! Rope Tree's tone was low and resolute, with a smell that could not be objected to.
Tsunade was silent about this, now that the two closest men had a disagreement, she couldn't say anything at will, otherwise it would probably be worse, the best option was to be silent, even if she was the one most likely to influence Rope Tree's decision, she didn't want to ruin the relationship between the three.
Although Tsunade didn't speak, another woman who was close to Rope Tree didn't have so many concerns, and Kushina directly opened her mouth to express her dissatisfaction: "But Rope Tree-kun! The civilians of the Land of Water are innocent! If countless innocent people are ruined because of this for the sake of victory, it is not only cruel but also very unfair! ”
"Innocent? Isn't it fair?" Rope Tree said in a funny tone: "This is a war between countries!" All ninjas and civilians in both countries are participants in this war! Where did the logistics used by the Fog Hidden Ninja Army come from? Isn't it all produced by the civilians of the Land of Water? In the same way, when Konoha wins the land and pays reparations from various countries, the civilians of the Fire Nation can also share the dividends of the war! So don't be stupid, no one in the two countries is innocent, everyone is a participant in the war! ”
The high-level Konoha who was present was dumbfounded by the crooked reasoning of the rope tree, and although he couldn't find a reason to refute it, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Ahem...... That rope tree-kun, your statement is a bit extreme! At this time, Jirai, who has always been unreliable, rarely became serious: "Although civilians are indeed participants in the war, they are passive participants, and it is the ninja class and the daimyo government that really dominate the war." Haven't you always advocated not involving civilians in war? Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"
When the Konoha higher-ups heard this, they all suddenly realized, and felt that Jiraiya's statement was correct, and civilians could not lead the war, so naturally they should not be held responsible! So why did Tsuna-sama suddenly change his insistence?
"Huh! Or has it been debunked? It seems that you have grown a lot since you became the Minister of Education! Rope Tree smiled lightly: "Since everyone must know the reason, then I will tell the truth!"
Yes! During these years of war, I have been deliberately restraining the Konoha ninja army and advocating for the protection of civilians. The reason for doing this is that in addition to the superficial reasons such as maintaining the image of Konoha in line with the mainstream moral concepts and doing a good job in the spiritual and discipline building of the army, there are actually deeper reasons. That is, in order to gain the favor of the civilians of the enemy country, so that we can annex the territory of other countries with a policy of softness!
I think everyone is more or less aware of this, in the territory that our Konoha has occupied in recent years, even if it has not been fully integrated into the Fire Country, at least there is no hatred and resistance, maybe in another generation or two, the local civilians will completely regard themselves as Fire Country people! ”
Konoha's higher-ups all nodded abruptly when they heard this, and Tsunade finally couldn't help but ask, "Since your previous policy was going so smoothly, why do you suddenly have to make a change now?"
"Because this policy has a premise, that is, we can completely digest it after we attack and occupy the territory!" Rope Tree emphasized in an accentuated tone: "But! The Land of Water doesn't have that condition!
The land of water: This country is an island country that hangs over the coast! Completely different from the land we occupied on the continent before! This place is separated from the mainland of the Fire Nation by a vast sea, and even if you have a new aircraft carrier fleet, it will take at least one day and one night, and one back and forth is two days and two nights!
You can think that if the Land of Water ceded a certain territory to Konoha to us, then we would have to stay here for a long time to be safe. Because the fog on the opposite side can be called at any time, and it will take at least a day and a night for our reinforcements to arrive! The territory here is an enclave for ninjas who are far more mobile than ordinary people.
And the area of the water country is already small, the territory we get will definitely not exceed the Nishikawa region, and the resources are not very rich, if we build a ninja village here, the commercial and industrial value is not high, and our ninjas have to compete with the fog ninja, so they can't even be self-sufficient. On the contrary, a lot of manpower and material resources have to be invested, and the gains outweigh the losses. And strategically, the value here is also very low, originally relying on the aircraft carrier fleet alone to completely blockade the country of water from the sea, it is too wasteful to station a large number of ninja troops on the island!
If you don't garrison the Ninja Year, this place may be recaptured by the fog at any time, and Konoha can't guarantee its influence at all!
Therefore, the territory of the Land of Water is a chicken rib for Konoha, and even if we treat the civilians according to the original policy, it is impossible to completely conquer the land here!
Unless we can wipe out the Fog Hidden Village and the Daimyo government, and completely occupy the entire country, there will be no value in establishing a branch of Ninja Village here! It's just that in this way, the country of water will be destroyed, which is completely different from the government's land reparation, and the civilians of the country of water, who have already perished, will no longer be different from whether they surrender or resist. There is no need for us to use the policy of softness to win over civilians! ”
